Court of Appeals Sustains the
Police Court Verdict.
She Must Pay a Fine Of Three Hun
dred Dollars and Be Imprisoned
for Three Months,

The c:Y.rt OF appeals handed down de
cison yesterday afternoon sustaining the
police court verdict in the De Forrest case.
This was the first appeal from the police
court to the court Of appeals under the act
Of March 2, 1897. Miss De Forrest vas
convicted in the police court OF keeping q
disrepntab!e house. The appeal was based
OH exceptions to the admission of certain
evidence and on exception to instructions
to the jury. One contention of the defense
was that ii had not been proved that Miss
pe Forrest was disorderly.
The court OF appeals held that the keep
ing of "a disreputable house was crioe, no
matter how stainless might be the per-
sonal character of the keeper. All the
rulings of tile police court on the admissi
hility of evidence are sustained. Miss De
Forrest was sentenced to pay fine of
$500 aud to be Imprisoned for three
months. She is now at liberty on appeal
bond.

VERY STRONG AGAINST DIVORCE
REV. e. /. BRADY. IN ST. PETERS
CHURCH, DECLARES 1T A TRAY
ESTY OF GODS LAW.

In the ceremony uniting in marriage
Miss Mary Ellen Morrison to jeremiah
Tobin at ST. Peters last evening, Rev.
q. l.. Brady took occasion to blast the
divorce fad in Delaware before the
large congregation. representing nearly
every denomination in the city.
His remarks were especially impress
sive as the bridal party reached the al
tar and the last strains of Lohengrins
Faithful and True" hushed from the
great organ. Father Brady speaking
clearly and very deliberately, said:
"My dear friends, we are assembled
here to take and bear witness to VOWS
which are so sacred before God that
nothing but death can ever change
them, and before these your friends as
sembed here in the quiet of this sacred
rite. let us think for a moment OF what
we are doing.
Those whom God hath joined to-
gether, no man can put asunder and
while the state assumes a legal right TO
separate husband and wife, so far as
civil effects and possessions are con-
cerned, yet God has them still Joined
together as vowed before him-"Till
death do MS part
"The rush for divorces before our
civil authorities and the subsequent
contracting of marriage by either or
both OF the contracting parties is a
travesty of the law OF God.
"This compact differs in this respect
from all other consent of human con-
tracts. All except the rite of marriage
which has its power, efficacy and au-
thority from God-can be set aside by
mere word of mouth. This can only be
annuled by death.
"The dutiful and loving husband
and wife. however, live in the fulness OF
earthly Joy and have verified the rich
est of Gods promises. Let us pray
therefore. that for all time and eternity
I'm His great love, you will be blessed
with that happiness that exceeds all
human joy, both temporal and spirit
ual."
The wedding party last evening in
cluded Miss Julia McGrath, bridesmaid
and jeremiah Donovan, who attended
the groom. The brides gown was made
of white organdie on white silk, and
trimmed with lace and ribbon. The
| bridesmaid wore white organdie trim
med with lace and ribbon. Both carried
and wore bride roses. After the cere-
mony a reception was held at their flu
ture home-with Mrs. Henry Foster on
South Fifth street.
The bride is a daughter of William
Morrison. former president of Council
and granddaughter of Mrs. Henry Eos.
