JUsTIcK HAsSEs Of the divorce division
Of the English Court Of Common Law has
just decided that divorce granted by a
court OF any Of the States OF the United
States separating English subjects who
were married in Great Britain is valid and
effective. This decision, as we learn from
The Ne,0 York Herdids cablo, was rendered
in the case Of Thompson, otherwise Tur-
ner, vs.. Thompson. The petition was Of
the wife. Georgiana Turner, British sub
ject domiciled in England, for a divorce
from Charles Peter Thompson, connected
with the marine service OF the United
States. Tho marriage took place at ST.
Jude's, South-sca, in 1872. The couple
lived together in England until 1873, after
which they went TO America. In Feb.
ruary. 1879, she instituted proceedings in
the United States for decree dissolving
the marriage and was successful. After
ward she returned to England and insti-
tuted proceedings there for the purpose Of
having her marriage declared null and
void. Her counsel suggested the question
Of jurisdiction, contending that II the mar.
rage were absolutely dissolved by the dc.
cree in the United States there existed
no marriage upon which the court could
pronounce an opinion. II was then di.
rected that the case be argued by the
Queens proctor. The arguments were
heard before Sir James Hammer, who said
he was Of the opinion he had no juris-
diction; the marriage was duly and Also
lutely dissolved by the decree Of the United
States court.

scarcely to be expected that the Hamlet

consistency and the same clcarness Of In

for his Lear, 30 Booth will DO for his Ham,
lot II has met the approval OF the scholars
as well as that OF the general public. II Ia
probably as near the ideal rs any actor has
ever attained. In achieving such extraor-
binary prestige in this impcrsonation, Mr..
Booth has won the actors most splendid
guerdon and by virtue Of the winning
placed himself easily iirt among his con.
temponries. II Is not that Mr.. Booth Il

THE CURTAIN FALLS:
THE BOOTH AND BARRETT SEASON
ENDS BRILLIANTLY.
Hamlet" and "Julius Cresar" Yester-
day = Crowded Houses--The Appre-
citation Memphis Has Shown-Some
Parting Reflections.

The widespread desire to witness the
play of Julius Cesar" wherein Booth
and Barrett assume roles more nearly
matched, found expression in the magnif-
cent house that greeted them. No Satur-
day night has ever witnessed 80 large an
assemblage inside the theater. The aisles
were packed with throngs of men, while
IN the galleries, even ladies were COM
PEELED to stand. Fresh with the strong
impressions Of a mastery Iago, and still
moro mastery Shylock, the audience
seemed prepared for dramatic climax.
The audience sshowod more fervor In
applause than on any previous evening.
The popular favor tended toward Marc
Antony for he was recalled six times Ia
Booths thrice. II is difficult for any
audience to sit through an heroic drama
in six acts and not show signs OF WEAKNESS
even though two such lights have the
leading roles. Tho personnel Of the house
was just what would be expected at @
Booth performance. 1t differed little from
the assemblies on the previous nights, ex-
cept in point Of size. A number OF stran.
gers were noted, many having come hun.

II was these who had 10 suffer the high
prices demanded by the spectators.

greatest OF the seasons theatrical enter

As regards Messrs. Booth and Barrett the
final judgment must be that Mr.. Booths
physical energies are not 80 strong as they
once were. His voice is breaking and he
is now at his best in parts which do not
require severe declamatory exertion. His
most successful performance was that Of

blizzardly winds we will probably have
