years and . half since then have not
been happy ones, Mrs. Bracket alleges
in her complaint. The pair came to live
in San Francisco for q while on Eddy
street and more recently at 2216 Van
Ness avenue, and 80 skillfully did they
play their parts that neither acquaint-
ances nor friends suspected that there
was any skeleton in their closet.
While living in q private boarding
house Mr.. and Mrs. Bracket gained q
brief unwelcome notoriety in connec-
tion with an accusation of theft brought
by another boarder named Howard
against the landlady Of the house.
The ground of Mrs. Brackets COM
plant is cruelty. She does not say that
her husband ever struck her, but she
alleges mental cruelty, and says that he
frequently swore at her and called her
names. Often he would stay away from
home until late at night and when his
wife asked where he had been he would
abuse her and say that his whereabouts
was not her concern. In consequence or
this treatment Mrs. Bracket left her
husband some time ago and went to live
with her relatives. She does not ask
for any alimony though her husband
is very rich man. Her attorney in
sists that there has been no property
settlement out of court, but that Mrs.
Bracket will be satisfied with her de-
cree and asks for no further favors.
Frank Bracket Is nominally a real
estate dealer, but in reality capitalist.
His father was Joshua Bracket of Pet
aluma. who came to his death some
years ago by falling out of window in
his house. He left q very large estate,
to be divided among three children, OF
whom Frank Bracket Is one of the
sons, while the only daughter is Mrs.
Fannie Jewel of Santa Rosa. Frank
Bracket owns considerable property in
Southern California. especially In San
Diego county.
There are no children of the marriage
that is sought to be dissolved.

THE CONCERT AT WESTLAKR
Slim Attendance at the Various City Parks
Yesterday

Dim Attendance nt t1e Various City Parks
Yesterday
Everybody and his sister must these
hot July days be off at the beaches en-
joying a dip in the briny or promenad-
ing on the sands, at least such would be
a natural conclusion after making the
rounds Of the various parks of Sun
day afternoon and seeing the diminish
ed crowds which attend the weekly con-
certs or seek the open air to rest and
read in the shade.
AT Westlake yesterday there was but
fair attenS1nce, and none Of the other
parks did nearly as we'll owing to West
lakes being the only place where any
especial attraction was offered. The
Seventh Regiment band, under the lead
ership of George Cam. gave delightful
concert, which was accorded generous
applause by the audience. The program
comprised both operate and popular
music. and was rendered as follows:
March, The Anniversary, George
Rosey; Lanciero. Loomis college, Zim-
mermann; selection. Erminie. Jako-
bowski: Hoyt's Patrol, L. F. Gottschalk;
waltz, Espanita, G. Rosey; overture,
Tampa. Herold; intermezGo, Lion du
Bal, Ernest Gillet selection, II Trova-
tore, Verdi; mazurka La Czarine, l..
Came; two step, Gallant Knights, Leip-
ziger.
Nothing occurred to mar the pleasure
of the day, which was spent pleasantly
by all, each after his or her own fash
ion. A number Of carriages congre-
gated near the band stand, and as usual

for some solving of the problem. Why.
the work of Bellamy, which has only
been printed eight years, has had $50
editions distributed. Now theories don't
do the work. Sir Thomas Moore pub
lished his work called Arcadia 100 years
go. but no arcadia has as yet arrived.
Never in the history of the country has
there been such depression In business
circles; financially the country is de-
pressed and what is the reason for 1t
all. Then, again, the Christian forces
do not apparently check the machina-
tions of the evil one. In the cities the
wicked are growing in numbers despite
the efforts of the moral forces, and why
Is IL that with sufficient moral force In
the world to work revolution in the
moral life of the world no effect is ap-
parently seen. What is the remedy for
this condition? Christianity is the spe-
cific for this moral disease, but not ap-
piled as 1t has been in the past 1t wants

also he cannot be My disciple" The ex-
preston is not hate as we commonly
understand it, for "he that hateth his
brother is wanderer." 1t is a different
sense from what this text implies. 1t
is the meaning that we get from the
words of Christ when He says, He that
renounces not all that he hath cannot be
My disciple" This must be the result
with everybody who comes to Christ:
everything must be laid aside, cast ut
terly away in order to be a complete
Christ man, Christian. A man cannot
come TO Christ and rely upon his busi-
ness or other interests. A man may
think he has love for Christ. but it may
not be such as Christ must have. To
illustrate: A savage has love for his
kind, for his relations, for his beasts.

agree with Drs. Heron and Strong
along this line. The religion for today
should concern itself about promoting
all these things; make it business to
look after them.
This religion in the fourth place tends
to the unity of the church and so to the
union and cooperation of all Christians
in the work of rebuilding the world. The
differences of religious bodies center on
non-vital points. Again this religion

Mrs. Bracket was a widow when she
met the man she now dislikes so in

teach her wisdom in husband choosing.
Her name in those days was Hackett,

EVENING SESSION
Rev. S. II. Weller, the Chautauoua
president, gave his annual sermon be-
fore an audience, though not quite as
large as that of the morning, yet quite
filling the large building. The text of
his sermon was Luke, 14:33-"So like
wise whosoever he be of you that for
saketh not all that he hath, he cannot
be my disciple"
The main thought of the address and
the subject of the sermon was, "The re-
ligion of the people" Rev. Weller, in
opening, said:
There are days of unrest in the world
in business, political and social circles.
The world is like a great troubled sea.
Religiously, people are not satisfied; :;
Christians are divided not upon ques-
tions of principle, but of policy. In
