other middle western cities, but every city
and town of any consequence had its own
slaughtering and dressing houses,

celebrate mass for you and break the
bread OF life for you and your child
rem. And his ceaseless striving was
that he might be a worthy worker,
and a tit instrument in the hands OF
God to help all Of you to heaven.
Hence he hungered for the strength
ening sacramento grace of the sacra-
ment OF penanee. Hence it was that
he desired to confess his sins and be
absolyed, so that he might have Di-
vine help more abundantly. Hence it
was that during his visits to me he
would say: Get your stool and hear
my concession In this he found
strength and solace. Innocent and
holy, he srroye to be justified more
and more through sacramental grace.
When you come here to adore God
do not forget Father o'Carroll. Let
his soul have the solace of your pray
ers and Holy Communions and the
sacrifice Of the mass. Especially let
the children he baptized and prepared
for the sacraments be loyal and fliaI
in their loving remembrance and
prayers.
Were to venture a suggestion to
the good people Of the parish, | would
say, give to your new Father in God''
the loyal cooperation and obedience
which you never failed to give to your
late pastor. Do not expect the new
priest to do everything and be in ave-
rything just like Father o'Carroll.
Such a thing would be unreasonable
and impossible. You would not expect
the present Mayor of the city to say
or do just as the last one did. Re
member, each priest has his own in
dividuality, and that only Christ is to
be, and is. his model.
May God have mercy on the soul of
Rev. Father o'Carroll. May God help
and prosper the work of your new pas
tor and you.

IN SUPREME COURT.
Judge Scott's Ruling In the Hui Case
Sustained,

Des Moines, May 17.-What the
supreme court itself characterized as
a remarkable action" was decided
yesterday in rendering an opinion in
the case of s Q. Hull, appellant, VS..
John f. Hull, ct al. The case is an
appeal from Mahaska district court,
John I. Scott, judge. In an opinion
written by Judge Waterman the and
lngs of the lower court are affirmed.
The result of the decision is to put
a large obstacle in the way of Mrs. S.
Q. Hull, who, as the court notes,
married for money, separated from
her husband in a month and then
sued to get all the property he had.
AS the facts are given in the course
of the opinion, John F. Hull GEN.
trscted matrimony with Mrs. S. G.
Garner upon terms that we're harsh
to himself in the extreme, A con-
tract was entered into before marri-
age by the terms of which Hull agreed
to give her in consideration OF her
marriage with him call none and
property of every kind and descrip-
ton that he now has er that he may
acquire in the future" On her part,
Mrs. Garner agreed to take care of
Hull as long as he might live and
provide him with a home" The
contract was signed and duly &C.
knowledged.
AS the court says, both the plain
tiff and Hull had previousmatrimon-
ial experience ana were SO far ad-
vanced in years as that they had
adult children. Perhaps it was age
that caused them to owe look the
true basis of marriage in contract
ing this second union. AS plaintiff
states lher case, she married for
money. AT any cate HUH lived with
his new wife but one month. In two
months following the separation his
wife brought action in equity, seek
ing to be 6ecreed owner of all Hubs
property of every kind and nature,
which amounted to several Thousand
dollars. The DISQUALIFICATION sought
specific performance of contract to
pay mouey. "Such an ~action,"
says the court, twill not lie, for
there is an adequate remedy at law"
There was an amendment to the or
iginal petition in which 1t was cbsrg-
ed the defendants, other than 'pLsln-
tiff's husband, we're indebted to her
and she asked Judgment as prayed
in her original petition - The action
still remained one for specific per
Torrance and the supreme court
holds the grounds "were as urten-
able as in the first instance. No mo.
ton would have laid to transfer to
the law docket, for nc legal relief
was asked"
