it is the great human question. The
manner in which England and America
treat this question will have great deal
to do with the, way it will be treated in
he civilized world. Hers we are wrought
with the ties of blood. ancestry and re-
ligion and we should strive to know one
another more and more and thus we
shall learn to love one another and the
little differences which now separa te us
will be swept aside and leave practically
one nation. And the temperance oues-
tion is doing much to bring these two
countries together. We are very proud
of your state in England. We hold your
state, your Neal Dow, up as examples
and try to tell the English people what
life without drink would be like 1t
seems to me that the open public houses
of England makes Christianity a mere
mockery. In England If man places
poison in the way of pheasant he is
severely punished If he puts poison
drink in the way of human being he
is upheld by the law. Every license says
that here is permission given by the
nation to the kingdom Of satan. Ma
tions love their people so we'll that they
will not let it's men and women live in
an unhealthy house, OF eat aduiterated
food or milk, but 1t allows men to sell
liquor. With one hand it sends money to
educate its people and with the other 1t
spends hundreds more in undoing it all.
II ask you people of Maine is not all
of this mere mookery of Christianity.

great women whom all the world loves,

two great nations. America and Great

1t is true our members are women. God
made women different from men. WOm
an has her great emotional nature and
her sympathias and many other qualities
and made them this way SO they could
work together. God made man as good
as woman, but he also made woman as
good as man.
There nre few Etowns In this country

Is the moderate drinker. In America

drink; in England VIC have great many
such ministers. To the moderate drink
er would say, do you realize what in

of moderate drinkers. Let US all follow

MIDDLE STREET, PORTLAND.
SUED FOR DIVORCE.
The Troubles of DIR. and Mrs. Browne of
New York.

The New York Sun of Saturday pub
lished the following account of the
troubles of a couple who have many
friends in this city:
Charles L. Browne is a dentist, with
an Office at % West Thirty.sixth street.
He is described az a man of fine ply
sique. tall, broad-shouldered and about
% years old. Mrs. Browne Is said to bs
about 40, short, slender, and delicate. The
dentist sought to get divorce from Ills
wife on the ground of cruel and inhu-
man treatment The case came up for
trial before Judge Walton and jury in
the Supreme court at Bath, Me. In
Maine absolute divorce may tie granted
for the cause specified. But DR.. and
Mrs. Browne are natives of Maine and
they have spent their summers there for
many years.
DIR. Browne is a native Of Bath. His
wife was born in Portland. They were
married In January, 1881, in Portland,
by Bishop Nicely. Mrs. Browne was Edith
l.. Deake. By the death of her father
and mother. not long after her marriage,
she became possessed Of an equity in
Portland real esrate, which netGed her
about $1,700 year.
In New York Browne became mem.
Der of the New England Society and of
the Knicker booker Yacht club. DR.. and
Mrs. Browne had a handsome country
place at Spuyten-Duyvil, but no town
house.
DR.. Browne brought his suit in Nov
en- Der. 1895. In his complaint, sworn to
before Carlton W. Crane, notary pub
lilo of New York county, DR.. Browne set
forth that his wife was in the habit Of
"scoundrel," "devil," "thief," trob-
ber.' "liar." damned liar," "fend, J"
and the like. and that he lived in such
fear of her that he had to hide his razor,
pistol, and other instruments by which
she might do him bodily harm, fearing
that she might take his life. DR.. Browne
retained Lawyer Larrabee, collector of
the.port Of Bath. Mrs. Browne retained
Howard p. Dixie of 40 Nassau street.
When the suit came to trial Mrs.
Browne admitted. according to the state
ment of her lawy er, that she bad used the
names specified in the complaint but she
maintained that sIe had provocation.
She testified that her husband refused to
provide for her support and the supporu
of the house. In 1893 when she came
back to New York from Maine, her bus
band refused to live with her. She then
paid his arrears IN office rent and some
of his other debts, after which he con-
scented to live with her for about three
months. Then they separated, and have
not lived together since.
When the case was submitted to the
jury, tthey deliberated for some time,
and finally refused to grant the divorce
by vote of eight to four. After the
verdict Mrs. Browne Immediately caused
her attorney to bring suit for separa.
ton in this state. This action is still
pending. DIR. Browne is at present in
Maine. It was said at his office yestsr-
day that he would return next week.
Mrs. Browne is in this city.
DR.. Browne is vioe-commodore of the
Corinthian feet of New Rochelle.
