MARRIAGES SHOULD LAST
Rev c. A. Splinter Speaks
Against Divorce at st.
Dominic's Church.
He Says the Present System l, as
Bad Form of Poygamy as
M rmonism.

Rev. c. A. Splinter. O.P., lectured at ST.
Dominic's Church last night on Marriage
and Divorce"
The speaker, who is an eloquent priest
from the East, gave an analytical view OF
the views OF marriage held by the Catholic
church. He said, among other things:
American legislatures have gone wrong
on the marriage and divorce question, and
as result divorces are increasing more
than twice as rapidly as the population.
In 1867 there were 9937 divorces in the
United States, but in 1856 there were 25. 537.
The proportion or ratio OF divorces 10
marriages runs as high as one to eight
and ten. l ask you whether Mormonism
is much worse than this reckless system
OF divorces. Cardinal Gibbons m ade tn q
distinction that in Mormonism polvgamv
is simultaneous, but i'll divorces it is con-
tinuous
Tine Catholic church regards marriage
as contract and a a sacrament. 1t must
also have the elements of unity and indis-
-solubility. The teaching OF holy writ is
plain that what God has Joined together
no man should put asuDder. Il is one OF
the contracts that the parties have no
right to meddle with. Our holy church
puts rare safeguards about it, believing
that good marriages are essential TO a land
of good homes and liberty"

AN EVENING OF ART.
The Century Club Preparing an
thetic Entertainment.

The Century Club Preparing Es-
thetic Entertainment.
The mem bers of the Century Club are
preparing for an evening of art next
Wednesday which will eclipse anything
of this particular nature which the club
has heretofore undertaken. The affair is
TO be in no sense public, and is declared
by the president, Mrs 2. B. Cornwall, to
be only one of the monthly sessions of in
tellectuaI entertainment which the clu b
has been conducting so successfully
Nevertheless it is admitted that the art
committee, of which Mrs. Horace Wilson
is chairman, has made extraordinary
efforts to have an art display at the rooms
of the club which will be of unusual merit
In order 10 accomplish this end the
ladies have made application to many of
the leading artists within q reasonable dis
lance OF san Francisco for loans, and they
have responded graciously. The limited
facilities for display which the Century
Clubs rooms possess will not allow of an
elaborate exhibition in point of numbers.
so only one or two pictures have beer
asked from each artist. In all it is
thought about seveuty-five artists will
comply with the requests of the ladies.
The affair "Wednesday evening Is to be
strictly club affair, governed by the
same rules which prevail at their ordinary
social meeting
On Friday afternoon reception will be
rendered the artists and their friends. The
paintings will in the meantime aoorn the
rooms of the club.

about 1000 in the audience and fully 1000

was TO raise funds to pay the dues of those

Thomas B. Shannon Ex-

Assembly and in
Congress.
He R presented the State When
Lincoln Was at The Had of

Thomas B. Shannon died at his resi-
dence, 231914 Larkin street. yesterday aft
ernoon. The fatal affliction was paralysis
of the brain.
Mr.. Shannon was siDgulsrly identified
From his arrival in the Western El Do
rado. when its vestments OF statehood were
yet new the name of Thomas B. Shannon
was one of the best known OF California S
public men.
He served in one of the first Legislatures
of the Sta'e with dignity and ability. His
evident fitness for position of trust and
his personal popularity secured for him
his election 10 the Speakership of the AS
sem bly,. the duties of which he admins
tered for one term.
When the question of California's low
atty was raised the Repu blicans of this
State chose their National representatives.
with a special regard to their patriotism
both tc their State and to the Union.
Among these Thomas B. Shannon was
elected to represent California in Con-
gress, and he served during all the vex-
atious period when Abraham Lincoln was
President
During all OF his political career be had
been stanch Republican, and when the
leaders OF his party recommended him to
President Grant as a proper recipient of
executive favors, his distinguished SER
vices in the halls of Congress during the
Nations peril not yet forgotten, the Presi-
dent appointed him Collector OF the Port
OF this City. This position ne held during
Grants two terms.
That was the last public office which he
has held. During the last lew years he
had devoted himself largely to business
ventures, which proved unfortunate and
wrecked what was once a considerable
fortune.
Mr.. Shannon was born in Pennsylvania
and was, at the time of his death, 90 wears
and months old. He leaves a widow

RACING TODAY
At INGLESIDE
A Very Attractive Card
for the Opening
Day.
The Royalty Bred RoSormonde
an Announced Starter in
the Stake.
Plu1ger Grammar Returns to Town
Schiller All Right After His
Four.Mile Run

Once more the scene Of racing opera
tions shifts to Ingleside track. The card
afforded for this afternoon looks as though
the big holiday throng that will undoubt-
edly be present at the local track might
wrest a few dollars from the bookmakers.
There is con siderable class to the ma ior-
ity of the stables, and these sort of horses
generally run to form.
The feature of the days sport will be
the Moet & Chandon White Seal stake
for two-year-old fllies, worth $500. Among
the announced starters is the aristocratic-
ally bred Rosormonde, daughter of Or
m onde and Fairy Rose. Much interest
will attach TO her appearance. The young
misses promise TO furnish very pretty
contest.
st arting in the other events are such
well-known performers as Ferref, game
old Logan, Salvable, Montalvo, the crack
hurdler, David, George Miller and Pres
ton. Altogether the card is quite in keep
ing with the high-class sport furnished
race-goers at the local track.
Schiller came out OF his four-mile
journey in the Thornton stake on Satur-
day in excellent shape, and is apparently
none the worse for wear and tear.
Riley Grammar, Harry Harris and
Charley Quinn arrived in town from
Coronado Beach yesterday, where they
h-O DcSh Iue OdhlaAI
meeting. Awaiting Grammar was a tel =
gram announcing the death of his father
at Paris. XIV, the latter part OF last week.
Mr.. Grammar will not journey home, as he
would be unable To reach there in time to
be present at the funeral. The plungers
paternal parent has been ai!ing for some
months and his death was not unex pected.
California climate appears to have ac-
mpllshed wonders In the way of i'm prov
ing the saddle work of J. Shields. For
time the lad seemed unable to get Frank
Jaubert away from the post, but the last
couple OF times, with the right sort of coin
down, the youngster has been veritable
Lamley at getting away. 1t is to be hoped
this good saddle work will continue.
Ano, by the way, speaking OF the race
won by Jaubert on Saturday at Oakland,
1t looked very much like "shoo." Red
Glenn scratched to get out of the rumpus,
and 1T looked as though none of the other
starters were very hungry for purse.

eucharist, and explained its significance
from the standpoint OF the Catholic
church.
This morning there will be sermon at
7:45. and at 8 solemn high mass will be
