MIR. HoLLocHER AsAH HOUSEWIFE

What Happened After He and His
 Wife Changed Places in the House
 hold.
 Michael Hollocher, defendant in the divorce suit of Susan L. Hollocher, which has occupied the attention of Su- perior Judge ogden several times, took the stand in his own behalf and told story of remarkable devotion to his home and spouse. Mrs. Hollocher had told the court that she had supported herself and husband. Hollocher did not deny her statements, but showed that while his wife had chosen to be the breadwinner, he had become house. keeper, doing the cooking, washing and scrubbing,
 Hollocher, according to his own testi- mony, had endured more than the or dinary housekeeper, for his wife enter tained many of her church friends. He had to cook for them all, wash the dish- es and wait on the whole party. He did not mind the housework, but, like a man, he could not bear to hear half dozen women talking about Brother So-and-So all the time," while he was regarded as a servant. In order to avoid losing his tmper and making a scene, Hollocher testified, he had been in the habit of going out evenings" Thus he answered the charge of neglect made by wife.
 Hollocher did not say that he had all ways managed to act the part of the gentle housewife. He admitted that sometimes he became very angry, and on one occasion so angry that he threatened to blow out his brains after burning the house down. But this was when the man asserted itself in Hol- locher, for he told the court he was only bluffing, and would have surrend- cred when it came to final test On the whole, it became apparent from the tes- timony that Hollocher and his wife had f changed places in the household, and, although Hollocher had often tried he had always been unable to release him self from bondage. Sometimes his wife took more interest in spiritualisln than in her home, and it was then that Hol- locher lost his temper
 Judge Ogden. in passing upon the case was inclined to take theview that Hol- locher had held up his end of the mar riage contract" by doing the house. wife's work while she did his. There was no neglect, he thought, although the defendant had failed to furnish the cash to run the house.
 | The court also denied the divorce on the principal ground of extreme cruel ! ty. He thought that, although Holloch- l CT had admitted making threats against 1 the plaintiffs life, the mouthings of a ] man of inferior power, as Hollocher had l shown himself to be, were scarcely of 1 any consequence.
 l In conclusion Judge ogden entered
 upon brief discussion of the tendency | toward free love to which scientific
 minds, and especially physicians, were ! driven because of such family disputes
 Tt is a good thing for posterity," said
 he that these people have no chil- ] dren.e
 1 The divorce was denied and an offer
 of an award of maintenance extended
 to the plaintiff if she cared to take it. l San Francisco Chronicle.

PROBLEM OF EVIL"
Store Open Evenings.

Series of Lectures By the Rev. w. F.
 Dickerman.
 At the Church of the Messiah yester- day morning the pastor, the Rev. w. r. Dickerman, continued his interesting series of lectures on the Problem of Evil" He said that the question re- solves itself into a question of Gods own power or goodness or both to pre- vent evil. There have been several at- tempts to explain evil on reasonable grounds. One reason given for the ex 1stence of evil is that God permits it to prevent greater evil. This theory is unreasonable, inasmuch as it supposes a weakness in God and the question naturally arises why does He permit any evil to exist. It is not very com forting for one who has been sorely af- f1icted to be told that the evil is to pre- vent a greater evil.
 The closing sermon will be given next Sunday, when MT. Dickerman will sum- marize the various explanations made of evil and give his personal conclusions in regard to the question.
