AN ASTRONOMICAL LECTURE

Gospel in China.

The main hall of Iolarii school
was filled yesterday evening on
the occasion of the illustrated lee
ture on Astronomy by Rev.lL.
Byrde of Hawaii. A string Of
japanese lanterns marked the way
from the gate and inside the hall
there was abundant light and
some decoration, in the way of
bunting and few flags.
The lantern was set near the
middle of the room, aud the views
were projected upon screen only
short distance away on the rear
wall. r. j. Fem, principal of the
school, manipulated the slides,
greatly to the assistance OF the
speaker. The subjects included
sun, moon and principal planets,
with few stars near the end.
Mr.. Byrde showed a mastery over
his topic, and his remarks were
both instructive and interesting
Besides the ideas of the speaker
were explained in such a way that
the lestschoolboy in the room
understood clearly.
The proceeds of the lecture will

school. The old one still per-
forms its duty, but is indeed an
old fashioned affair, is clumsy
and hard to handle. With the
cash realized on this occa sion and
a sum that may come in from {
future entertainment the boys
will be able to fix themselves W
in excellent shape.
Rev. Mr.. Byrde will shortly
leave for China. His first stay
will be at Shanghai, where be

pie aud the wide field before him
Then he will sail for home. Ii
England he will receive his per

QUITE A ROAST
Parties to a Divorce Protest Against
Publicity

Whether it is a wise thing to throw
a mantle of secresy around divorce pro-
ceedings or not IS a moot point. The
legal mind is divided upon the subject,
and while both bench and bar have not
infrequently given it as their opinion
that more beneficial results would ac-
crue, e,by having all, such proceedings per-
fectly open, from their inception to the
close, others have taken contrary
ground. Be that as it may, in this state
the law favors the secretive method and
when any details of a divorce case are
prematurely disclosed the parties inter-
ested are. and perhaps not unnaturally
much disQuieted.
AS an illustration of this the follow
ing letter. addressed to County Clerk
Newln, speaks for itself:
Dear Sir: In violation of the laws of this
state you have given the public access
to divorce papers filed in your office. Late
Monday evening, about $50 o'clock, I filed
in your office a complaint entitled Majors
VS.. Majors, and Tuesday morning the
Times contained a portion of it. I feel
hurt over the matter. as had promised my
client that it should not appear in the
newspapers. The political code provides
as follows: Section 1882. In all actions
for divorce the pleadings and the testimony
taken and filed in said action shall not be
by the clerk with whom the same is fled
or the referee before whom the testimony
is taken made public, nor shall the same
be allowed to be inspected by any person
except the parties that may be interested
or the attorneys to the action, or by an
order of the court in which the action is
pending"
Among others, one reason of the law gov
erning the matter is that innocent parties
may suffer by reason of the publication of
divorce matter, the indiscreet acts of
the father or mother thus made public may
cause humiliation and disgrace to their
children in after life.
I called at the Office to talk with YOU
about this matter and was Informed that
you were not likely to be in. 1t appears
that some OF your deputies are untrust-
worthy, or at least careless in the per-
formance of the duties of the Office as it
is not long since a part of the report of
the grand jury was lost.
1t is certain that the public demands bet
ter service in your office, and it is unfor-
tunate that you are not able to personally
look after the matters therein.
Trusting that the service in your office
will be improved, I remain, respectfully
yours, H. II. HEATH.

ing his child" as Commissioner Willis
explained, but because he had brough!
discredit on the department"
Browns case has been pending for
some weeks, but as only bare quorun
has been in attendance at the meetings
Of the board action has been deferred
from time to time. 1t was taken up yes
terday morning and quickly disposed of
the fireman receiving the extreme pen
alty-dlsmissal from the department
Brown, it will be remembered, was ar
rested shortly after Fiesta on, a. charge
of cruelty to his fifteen-year-old daugh-
ter Mabel. The child, it was alleged
was wayward, and ran away from home
and that when she was returned home
by the police, Brown choked and beat
her.
On the examination, Brown and his
wife were discharged, Police Justice
Owens ruling that no offense had been
committed, as under the law a parent
has right to punish his child, SO long
as it was evident from the facts that
the said parent had not been unnecessa-
rily and unreasonably cruel.
When the case was called up Mayor
Snyder stated that he had received a
number of complaints about Brown;
that his neighbors were not satisfied with
the way in which he treated his chill
dren, and that they had seriously con-
- J~-;. =
petition asking for his removal. Fur
thermore, he had talked with the hu-
name officer regarding the childis condi
ton. and that officer had reported that
the body was covered with bruises. and
that she was in very bad state.
Commissioner Kuhrts had been get
ting quite restive under the mayors re-
marks, and when he concluded, said
do you know about this girl, Mr.. May
or? Do you know how she provoked ana
aggravated her father? I tell you. gen.
tlemen, if l had a. daughter who had
been guilty Of what she. had, believe
I would have killed her on the spot.
would never own such daughter"
Mr.. Kuhrts spoke with much earnest
ness, and evidently felt all that he said.
His colleagues were evidently taken
completely by surprise. and for few
seconds there was an awkward silence.
Mr.. kuhrts then went on to say that
Brown was a very efficient fireman:
that he had for years been connected
with the department in various capaci-
ties, and that he had always done his
duty. Never in all these years had he
been before the commission on a seri-
Gus charge, and he did not think that
the board was taking the right course
in this matter. He did not think that
the commission should constitute itself
tribunal to settle domestic difficulties
and adjust family differences.
The other commissioners, while con-
ceding that Brown had been a good
fireman, differed with Mr.. Kuhrts as
to the rights and privileges of the board.
They thought that the commissioners
could go behind the court returns, and
that it was within their province to
regulate, to a certain extent, the con-
