They do not believe the strike will be

IMPORTANT DECREE
Cincinnati Court Decides That
Amount of AlimOny, Once En-
tered, Can't Be Increased.

The common pleas court has decided
case regarding the right of woman
to reopen case for alimony where the
circumstances of her husband have
been improved since the order of ali
mony was granted to her. It was the
case of Isabella Address against A. H.
Address. In 1890 she was paid sum
as alimony by agreement with her hus-
band, and the entry specified that in
consideration of that payment to her
the suit for alimony was dismissed, and
the payment was to be in full of all
claims for alimony and the settlement
of all the matters set up in her petition.
A short time ago the wife sought to
open the case and have modification of
the decree, because her husband had
prospered and was able to pay more
than at the time the agreement was
made. The court holds that in cases
of divorce, separation or alimony the
right of the parties to negotiate and
contract with reference to division of
their property has always been recog-
nized, and the validity and fairness OF
the contract has been measured by the
same standard as other contracts. If
by its terms, in view of all the existing
circumstances and conditions at the
time it was entered into, the contract
seems reasonable and fair it will bind
the parties. It was also held that, as
matter of law, the decree in the case
under consideration precludes new
inquiry as between the parties.-Cin-
cinnati ENQUIRER.

Qnterior Of Sitting-Room in New Columbus
Baptist church,

who designed it; they are said to be the
women of the church. 1t is the First
Baptist church, and it is unique in it's ar
rangements for the comforts of both
the men and women of the congrega-
tion, though it must be admitted that
the plans are more for the women than
for the men.
Looking in the church you would be
reminded little of theater, for there
is a lobby and there are ''boxes," fire
escapes and a check-room for wraps.
There is also that which no theater
hasa kitchen and dining-room; be-
sides these there is bicycle parlor.
The temple stands on Broad street,
three-quarters of mile from the state
capitol. 1t is placed 60 feet back from
the street drive and has 12-foot drive"
way on the west and 80 feet of lawn on
the east.
The temple is built of light blush
sandstone and has red tile roof.
All the social rooms are very COM
pletely furnished. The halls and cor
ridors also are finished III colored mar
bles and valuable hard wood.
Looking through the arched openings
by which the foyer is connected with
the auditorium, one sees first circular
rows of quarter-sawed oak pews, di-
vided by aisles, in which a new and
striking curve has been introduced, and
then the minister's platform, immedi-
ately back of which the great organ
and the space occupied by the choir of
40 voices, which leads in the singing
that is so much feature in the tenn
pie services.
The platform, which is bare of every
thing resem bling the old-fashioned pull
pit, its furniture being a comfortable
tete-a-tete, a small ebony table and an
onyx stand of flowers, is surmounted
by an unmistakable proscenium arch
and has boxes at the right and left.
These are really retiring rooms, fur
nished to correspond with the foyer,
but the heavy plush curtains that hang
in the arched openings permit the
spaces to be utilized for seating pur-
poses whenever necessary. The floor of
the auditorium has decided slope to
it, as has also the spacious gallery that
circles around it, and the further ends
of which gracefully swell to correspond
with the box effect beiow.-Chicago

AN ARISTOCRATIC ORDER.
The Noble Ladies of Prague, Bob emia,
Secular Canonesses and Roy
nj Able SSes.

The secular canonesses of Prague be-
long to the proudest religious order in
Europe. To their rank no maiden is
admitted who cannot prove on both
sides 16 quarterings of nobility. 1t
was founded by Empress Maria Theresa,
and has had ever since for its abbess
a daughter of the imperial house.
Intended as provision for the
"penniless lass, wi lang pedigree" it's
rules are not of the strictness to be
found in less aristocratic associations.
Its members are free to marry-if they
get good offer-and though they are
required to spend certain number of
months annually in the royal palace of
the Hradschin, they are allowed to visit
when they like, to receive visits, and to
seek change of air in summer. Each
canoness has at her disposal a carriage
and horses, and a box at the theater,
while medical attendance and drugs are
provided. In addition, she receives a
pension of over 100 guldens month, or
about $45.
While Marie Theresa's foundation af-
1ords retreat Tor many girls OF high
birth, but limited means, it must not
be taken that all the members are i'm
pecunious. TO belong to the Stiff is es-
teemed an honor. A sister of the pres
ent Count Taaffe Zone of the many Aus
trian mobiles of Irish descent), Countess
Walbburga, C,ementina Taaffe, was a
canoness. At the present day Count
Taaffe's own daughter is numbered
amongst the members of the commun.
ity.
Amongst those who have held the
post of abbess have been the unfor-
tunate Marie Antoinette, and the pres.
ent queen regent of Spain. The Stifts

AS WOMAN'S CHURCH.
First Baptist Sanctuary Mt Columbus,
o., Is AZ Comfortable as Any
Playhouse.

The people of Columbus cannot COM
plain that they have no church as COM
Portable as the theater. It has for
years been stock complaint among
the males of any family that church
seats were uncomfortable, and for that
reason they did not care to attend Sun
day services. They have also said that
the air was bad and they were not al
lowed the same liberty as in theater.
If they were uncomfortable they could
not get up and go out few minutes,
for there was no place to go except into
the street.
Women have also complained of this
matter and for years the theaters of the
different cities have been a standing re-
proach to the churches. The comfort
able lounging rooms, the convenient
dressing rooms, the easy chairs, and
the resting spots have all been con-
spicuous by their absence.
But church has just been finished in
Columbus which is triumph to those

The Onion Ms a Medicine.

Onions are kind Of all-round good
medicine. A whole onion eaten at
bedtime will, by the next morning,
break the severest cold. Onions make
good plaster to remove Inflammation
and hoarseness. If an onion is mashed
SO as to secure all the juice in it it will
make most remarkable smelling sub
stance that will quiet the most nerv-
Gus person. The strength of it inhaled
for few moments will dull the sense
of smell and weaken the nerves until
sleep is produced from sheer exhaus-
ton. Il all comes from one property
possessed by the onion, and that is a
form of opium.

tion rooms with paraquet floorings and
lofty windows are placed at the general
disposal for large gatherings. These
contain portraits of former abbesses
painted on their resignation. In one
of these salons stands a curious fire
screen embroidered delicately by poor
Marie Antoinette with flowers in silk.
From the balcony there is a beautiful
outlook on the city beneath, with it's
slopes, its innumerable towers, the
winding Moldau,. and the height of
Weissberg beyond.
One of the obligations of the ladies
who are so comfortably endowed for
