Chancery Court. She denies the deser-
ton which was charged by her husband,

planned, this defendant denies the other
allegations Of the said petition, ana hum

audience never entered the Linden Avenue
Methodist Church. Greenville than that
which was present last evening at the
concert of the West Sid Orchestra, and
which WAS given under the auspices or the
Epworth League, Chapter No. 500. The
programme was up to the high standafu
set by this orchestra, and every NUMBER
was applarded. The receipts, which arg
for the church fund, were larger than was
anticipated, for the church was comfort
abb filed.
The first number by the orchestra was a
march, entitled sThe Pacers." For an
encore, THE Stars and Stripes Forever

lowed with a soprano solo, entitled HAP

A day or two ago 9TH News printed
a short article on the outrageous scenes
which take place at night on the Green
vile cars. The conditions are especially
| offensive on Sundays. when the crowd IS
| largest and toughest and beer flows freest.
The responsibility for the continuance
of this nuisance is up to Chief Murphy
| He should stop the evil at once, If It TOOK
| every police officer in the city to do It.
By stationing a few squads of officers
| along the line; say a dozen men, in par
| ties of three, at intervals from the city
line to the Junction, and by having them
board the cars running citywards and ar
| rest all turbulent characters on complaint
of the conductors or other citizens, ne
| could soon enforce order.
The disorderly element does what II
pleases because it thinks it can do SO with
| impunity. Blu toughs are as shrewd as
other folk, and a couple of lively police
raids. supplemented by sharp doses OIL
Potts-Nevin medicine would soon insure
quiet people the peace and quiet to which
| they are entitled.
We have no doubt that the Traction
| Company would most cordially cooperate
in this work. The company and its en-
ployes are seriou sufferers. h com
pany's income is diminished by the reluct-
aroa of neon1e ta 11sa the cars and the
conductors generally have a hard time
of it.
There is no better time to begin than
on the coming Sunday and Monday. Let
the Chief send out his men with orders 70
make all reasonable allowances for hi
larity, but to rigidly enforce order ane
decency and the rights of passengers who
are not hilarious.

SCHWABS WANT TO PARADE.
Dissatisfaction Expressed Over the
Adjustment OF the Annual Pageant.

Some of the members Of the Greeuville
Schwaben Verein are rather put out now
that it has finally been decided to aban-
don the usual parade which has been hela
on the morning of the annual fest DAY.
The parade was one Of the features OF Inc
ward to with great interest by the Green
VILE residents. They. too, are disap-
pointed at the decision of the Schwabs.
will not be held in Greenville this summer
as the Union Hill Schueszen Park has
been decided upon.
The reason the members give for not
holding a parade this year is that tbs
distance to Union Hill is too great. and
it would take nearly W hours to- get
there from headquarters IN GreeEvlile.
And for those who would walk the idea Is
simply out of the question. Trolley cars
will be chartered and in this way the
Schwabs will be conveyed to the park.
AT the meeting last evening a few more
attractions were added to the programme,
which is by no means yet completed

BY the way, the attitude of Congress in
general towards the Naval officer is not
particularly encouraging. The refusal to
take Up and pass the Personnel Bill"
the scheme of reorganization devised by
Secretary Roosevelt, is one of those
heartless injustices that a-ggregations of
politicians are capable of, but which fill
the min of the average fair man with
wrath.
Congress is very willing TO pass bills
in the interest of Hobson and Dewey and
others because it is SNOWY and popular.
But it must be remembered that the en-
tire line of the Navy is made up of he
roes of the same amould, who only lack
the opportunity. While winning popular
applause by bestowing honors on the
fortunate men who have been able to
show their mettle, Congress should not
lose sight Of the solid merit and the
urgent rights OF the multitude who have
not yet had their chance.

her children have to rely upon if a Span

and to assert their rights before Con-

regard of the public for its soldier and

properly regretful that he undertook his
pitiful scheme of economy at such an
unfortunate moment.
