Sarah Althea's Hopes Dashed.

The Supreme Court of California, Oh
Wednesday, rendered decision in the
notorious Sharon divorce case, reversing
Judge Sullivan'S first decision in favor
OF Sarah Althea Hill, Now Mrs. Judge
Tcrry,) and rcmauding the case for a
new trial. The decision is noteworthy
for two reasons: 1t is the practical end
of suits which for six years have lett a
trail of filthy and demo al!zing testi-
mony through the local courts. and it
settles the fact that a mistress CT concu-
bine in California cannot lay claim to
the rights of wife, as she could under
Judge SuIlivan's decision. The main
point of interest discussed in the decl-
Sion is, What constitutes marriage! 1t
will be remembered that during the Sha-
ron divorce trial the plaintiff never al
lcscd a formal marriage She produced
her marriage contract, and she claimed
that she had lived with the defendant as
his wife. These were two points relied
on TO prove the marriage. The Sup enc
Court decision defines definitely differ
encc between marriage and. merctriciouS
relations. 1t is believed that the plain
tiff will give up the struggle she has
carried on for six years.

It will scarcely last two days

truthfully say that many people are
actually starving. Babies and children
cry for bread and wallow in the muddy

The Ministers Reading-Fourth Ly- man Beecher Lecture-Fine Discourse Before Large Audience.

The Ministers Reading-Fourth Ly-
 man Beecher Lecture-Fine Discourse
 Before Q Large Audience.
 MarQuand chapel was again crowded to it's
 utmost capacity yesterday afternoon, at
 which occasion the Rev. Dr. John A. Broadus
 delivered the fourth Lyman Beecher lecture
 on Preaching" His subject was ''The Min
 ister's General Reading"
 In opening he spoke of the importance
 which the mental atmosphere surrounding 6
 child exerts in developing it's mental capacity
 and under this head he spoke of book read-
 ing. He urged the importance of wise dis crimination in reading. A man is known by
 the books he prefers. Read the great authors.
 Read books which have stood the test of time
 and criticism, as stimulating, cultisating and
 instructive. Read useful books. Read also
 for necessary recreation Of the mind whole some books that will recreate.
 Dr. Broedus then classed history of vital importance to the minister in his reading and outlined 8 plan of historical reading full of valuable suggestions. Popular science and essays were also treated in like man- ner The closest attention was bstowed by the ladies of the audience when novel read ing was touched upon. The speaker advised malicious novel reading. Read elevating, in- structive novels. Avoid, of course, all of immoral tendencies. The great novelists like Dickens, Thackeray, Scott, Bulwer and George Eliot should be read, not devoured by wholesale. Novel reading a steady diet was like an all cake and pie diet that the small boy covets. Beside reading the great and best novels, read the Arabian Nights, Mother Goose and Robison Crusoe, else you will be at variance and not en rapport with the children.
 Dr. Brosdus evidently had his opinion of Rider Haggard's novels and passed them by with an implied recommendation not to ! waste time over them. His only allusion ! to Robert Elsmere was in speaking of the re- ! ligious novel as cropping out in these later l days, and he evidently wasn't much in love l with this description of literary and novelist | ic endeavor.
 In closing let me say that a ministe, should always keep his general reading subordinate to his calling.
 ! The remaining lectures of this course will be this afternoon and next Tuesday and Wed nesday afternoons at o'clock, the subjects of which will be ''The Minister and his Hymn Book, ]" "The Minister and His Bible, ! and ''The Ministers Private Life" It may | be we'll to say that these lectures will not be published in book form, as many of the Ly. ! man Beecher lectures have been.

 JOttfnEs-Htoms of Interest.
 Fl. o. Rowe 6 Co.'s oyster dredge, the Ruel Rowe, met with a mishsp yesterday morning while making her way down the river. The fog was quite dense and 1t was impossible to see over few feet ahead. The Rowe was heading for the Tomlinson draw bridge, but her pilot did not notice the fact that he was steering away until the boat ran, bow on, against the first abutment of the bridge. The steamer was, fortunately, going quite slow at the time or serious dam age might have resulted. AS it was the boats flagstaff was snapped of close to the deck.
 The fog was so dense all over the harbor yesterday morning that ali the oyster boats had great difficulty in reaching their grounds.
 The Grand avenue bridge over the Quinni- piac river is to be replanked. Some 15,000 feet of spruce plank will be required.

 The clothesline thief has been about Fair Haven recently Two cases are reported from the Twelfth ward.
 It is announced that a majority of the committee appointed by the Fair Haven Re publican club to look up & suitable site for 8 club room are in favor of buying house outright rather than to buy a lot and build. They think that they can buy a dwelling that will answer every purpose much cheaper than they can build. Some members of the committee, however, are in favor of building and bring some strong arguments to bear upon this side of the case. In either event. it is probable that ample money can be raised The Fair Haven club will be the only club in the city to own the property it occupies.
 The concert that was given in Hope chapel some weeks since by the First Baptist church choir is to be repeated next Monday evening at the Grand avenue Baptist church. The programme contains many excellent vocal numbers, quartettes, duets, solos, etc, as well as @ number of recitations.
