the close OF the war. Yet while have
no objection to our brothers in the
south raising monuments to their gen.
erals, as OF course they have a perfect
right TO do. I raise my voice In pro-
test against their erecting any monu-
ment TO any one who fought against
the flag in any national cemetery In the
country"
1t develops that Ellis post. after
adopting resolutions, protesting against
the erection OF the monument had laid
the matter before the Grand Army as

SUES FOR $4,000 FOR
ALIENATED AFFECTIONS.

The trial OF the $4,000 suit for aliena-
tion of his wifes affections brought by
Charles w. Randall against Frank NJ.
Moran was begun before a jury in
Judge Dubois court this forenoon. 1t
proved a very interesting trial. as on
the oneside a most ruthless invasion
OF the sanctity of home was charged,
and on the other II was alleged the re-
lations between defendant and Mrs.
alleged too that rather than support his
wife Mr.. Randall squandered his SUBJ
stance on poker.
Mr. Randall testified he was 81 years
OF age, resided in this city and was
married TO Nellie III. Warren in 1879.
Mr.. and Mrs. Randall lived together un-
til last September, and two children
have been born to them, one a boy
and the other girl.
The latter part OF September last Mr..
Randall says, his wife went on what
he presumed was vacation. He has
not lived with her since, but up 10 that
time mo man." to use witnesses own
words, "in the city of Providence had
a happier home" Witness said he was
acquainted with the defendant and
was proceeding to tell about his NOV
ing with his family to the town of
Cranston and 10 the Pontiac road. when
f. ID. McGuinness. counsel for the de-
fendant, raised the point that nothing
could be gone into save what happened
in the year 1899.
JudgeDubois after looking at the decla-
ration thought Mr.. McGuinness cor
rect. Charles T.. German argued that

London, May 31.-Lord Roberts lat
est dispatches shed a somewhat diff.
ferent light on the military situation,
Before they were received celebrations
were organized in the country towns in
honor of the fall of Pretoria. In Ches-
ter public holiday was declared. while
at Dover, Portsmouth and many other
places in the provinces flags were thrown
and rejoictngs were general. Pretoria,
however. is not yet in the hands of the
British, though there is reason to doubt
the authenticity OF the report that
President Kruger has evacuated the
place and that the municipality is
ready TO surrender when confronted by
superior Numbers.

The third day OF the May session OF
the General Assembly at Newport was
a busy one. and the members of both
branches early recognized that there
was a great deal of work to do. but
they tackled to do. II with will. as
many of them had hope that IL would
be possible to have an adjournment
this evening. This, however. appears
to be practically impossible, and this
despite the fact that the judiciary COM
mittee OF. the House put In an immense
amount OF work yesterday.
A big batch OF bills were already to
be acted upon when the General As
sembly convened at 10 o'clock this
morning, and many OF them were meas
ures OF the greatest Importance. Sew
eral corporation acts are to be dis
posed OF before adjournment and those
interested in the measures are making
every effort to push their bills through

Judge Dubois held only testimony in
regard to events after Jan. 1, 1899.
could be introduced.
On Jan. 1, 1899. Mr.. Randall lived in
Pontiac and he testified that Mr.. Moran
was a frequent caller. In the middle
of February the first serious trouble
occurred and after that the parties oc-
cupied separate apartments.
Mr.. Moran, witness said. used to stop
until between III and IL o'clock at night
The witness said Moran outstayed him.
Mrs. Randall at the time worked in
box shop and used TO walk home with
Moran. He would have supper and
Mr.. Randall did the housework and got
supper.
Mr.. Moran bought Mrs. Randall a
wheel. and then the two went out every
Sunday riding and frequently went out
at night. Witness said he had tried to
catch Moran and his wife in some acts
that he had long suspected. but his
plans were frustrated by Moran's dog.
One night witness came home and saw
shadows on the curtain.
Mr.. McGuinness at this point called
attention to the fact that witness could
not testify to anything that would GRIM
mate his wife. Judge Dubois agreed
with Mr.. McGuinness and witness was
cautioned not TO say anything that
would criminally implicate his wife.
there had been no harm done, but she
was having a good time with Mr.. Mo-
ran and no one would stop her.
Mr.. McGuinness asked that the lat
ter part. of Mr.. Randall's statement
claimed to be made by his wife be
stricken out. This. counsel argued, was
a communication between husband and
wife and could not be admitted. He
quoted a decision of former chief jus
tice Durfee Judge Dubois sustained
Mr.. McGuinness. and the Objectionable
testimony was stricken out.
In September Mrs. Randall left this
city for her old home In New Hamp-
shire, where her mother lived. Mr.. Ran
dali heard about four weeks afterward
his wife and Moran were in Boston.
Witness went to the Hub and met his
wife and Moran on the street. Moran
came UP and jokingly knocked witness
umbrella from his hands.

err" to be given Christmas eve at the
church. This cantata has a purpose. 1t
carries truth and fact III the concrete.

charming poem. Mother Goose is called
out with her charming people, Mother
Hubbard, Old Woman in the Shoe, Jack
and Jill, Boy Blue, Jack Horner. Bo Peep,
Red Ridinghood and Miss Muffett. The
principal nationalities are represented,
United States, Ireland, England. France.

The cantata bristles with wit and bub-
bles over with humor The Santa Claus
spirit is carried throughout. The usual
Christmas treat follows the rendering OF
the cantata, Santa Claus being really
present.
