ENHANCEMENT With Lord. :. {.

Judge Murphy has decided that Mrs.
Eva 3. Russell is titled to divorce
from John B. Russell, the shoe merchant,
on the ground of extreme cruelty. :::,:-..

sation enough 10: itsday. The courtroom

was crowded TO OVERLOOKING throughou
the trial, and when the defendant Russell
testimony of nature intended
to prove the infdelity Of: his wife prior to
her marriage with him strong feeling Of
disgust was instilled into the hearts of the
spectators. Ofcourse, Mrs. Russell's law
yers did not lose any opportunity to make
capital out of this testimony, and Judge
Murphy was good enough to say from the
bench that he did not believe word of II.
: The great OBSTACLE which the learned
Judge had to climb over in rendering his
decision in favor of Mrs. Russell was the
divorce case of Eva: i. Lord against
Charles A. Lord, tried in the courts OF So
mona County. Lord was a newspaper
man, and the plaintiff in his divorce case
was no other than the woman who snbse-
quently appeared before Judge Murphy as
Mrs. Eva b. Russell. But the peculiarly
of her case lay in the fact that the Judge
of Sonoma County denied the divorce.
The denial OF a divorce is in itself pre-
sumptive evidence Of a marriage. but II
appears from the decision of Judge Muir
ply that this was notso In this particular
case: -: -. IT,
Judge Murphy expresses himself thus:
''1n the record bef0reme Of the proceed

the said record is silent on. this important
matter, / am satisfied that the divorce
was denied on the ground stated, that's
that the marriage relation did not exist
and never did exist between the plaintiff

Judge Murphy decides that fair ease
of cruelty: Is made out against Russell.
AS to The stody OF the child he remarks
that even the defendant admitted that his
wife took the best of care OF the child, and
among other things said In subs tance. that

plaintiff loves it is that child. :: 49,.

ton conveying the good will and wishes Of

a shining plate adorniDg the receptacle.
The vase is Of an artistic design. the long
cone-sbaped upper part being surmounted
nv wreatbs of metal foliage work. while
the base is of a rococo pattern. The whole
is richly engraved and com plete in every de-
tail. -. -;

Omaha isgrowing reckless and intends
to blow herself. The society people Of
that town are already girding them
selves for their carnival at which the
chosen beauties Of the state are to sit
for several hours in an opera box be-
meath the critical gaze Of the Omaha
populace and under a heavy fire of
opera glasses, until the king selects the
fairest and claims her for his own. On
this occasion His Royal Highness will
present the favored maiden with a
tiara and conduct her to her throne.
The Omaha people lay grea. stress upon
the fact that this tiara is to be OF real
gold ,set with ruby and an emerald and
topaz. surmounted by star OF real
pearls in the center Of which sparkles
real diamond, and that the lady who re-
ceives it will be allowed to keep it,
Alas, what bootless extravagance.

Idon't doubt that it is thing of beau

be the reward Of the beautiful and the
need Of the fair, but should hate to
be in the sandals Of that daring youth
who is going to bestow it. Not even a
throne would tempt me. 1t recalls the

Office fails to impress cold public with
bis sincerity. There is widely pre-
valent feeling that properly restrained
enthusiasm coupled with simple. hon

accomplish more than the spectacular
flourish that has thus far been Gov
