THE Mikado." Gilbert and Sullivan's we'll
known light opera. was presented at the
Union Club, Lafayette and Jefferson ave-
nues, last night by a cast composed en-
tirely of club members.
Although the lines and music were farlil-
lar to nearly every one. the spontaneous
enthusiasm of the amateur actors admitted
of a somewhat new Interpretation of the
piece and easily captivated the audience.
The characters were deliberately costumed
and more attention was paid to details
than Is usual in amateur productions. The
tableaux evidently had been carefully re-
hearsed and the color schemes were artis-
tic.
The Three Little Maids from School. the
Misses Gay MecIlvaine. Alice Trorlicht and
Marie Dierkes, were especially well re-
ceived.
The cast follows:

Capacity of tho Germania Theater was
taxed to its utmost last night to accommo-
date the loyal Irish-Americans who turned
out with the Irish Nationalists, to comment
crate the one hundred and twenty-fifth
birthday of Irelands patriot and martyr,
Robert Emmett.
The commentators entered into the spirit

of rnusic and literary numbers was rem
dere1. which, along with the Grafton of the
Reverend Fathe. Francis c. Doyle Of Annis-
ton, Ala: the speaker Of the evening, kept
patriotism until nearly midnight.
In polished and scholarly manner, Fa>
Their Doyle retraced part of early Irish
history and hkened the deeds Of Cromwell
against his people to the deeds Of the drunk
en- Nero against the Christians. dilatfng
upon the fact that the acts never had: nor
never would. subdue the uncomfortable Irish
love Of freedom. He traversed the battle
fields Of the world in metaphor and allowed
his listeners where the Irish had fought and
won battles for almost every known coun-
try except their own. and gradually led his
hearers I'D to the life deeds and death OF
Robert Emmett. Ireland's most picturesque
character. immortalized by Thomas Moore
in poetry and song.
Emmet's school days. his subsequent flight
and capture: as well as his sweet but un-
ner that went to the hearts OF his listeners
and earned for the speaker hearty ap-
piause at its conclusion.
The Reverend Father Timothy Dempsey
of St. Patricks Parish read number NJ
resolutions declaring the principles of the
Irish Nationalist. The resolutions fairly
emitted sparks of Irish patriotic fire. and,
while not countenancing rash actions by
members Of the organization asserted that
the laws Of God destined that Ireland should
be ar Independent nation. and justified to
win Its way to freedom by the sword.

that the obligations CT married life are not

A divorce Is frequently what the man
wants. After it Is granted he marries again
and does the same thing over.
The conviction of few such men. Judge
Hough stated, would have the effect OF
making others live up to their marital OBJ
legations: 1t would prevent men from mar
ryins women and deserving them in a short
time. The granting of a divorce does not
prevent the man from being punished for
the desertion.
Judge Hough Was induced to take the &C
ton by the large number of divorces which
have been tried in his court In which the
plaintiffs were deserted wives. He has
called the attention of his brother Judges
to the matter. and it IL likely they will aid

Circuit Judge Warwick Hough has adopt

attorneys in divorce cases where the evil
dence shows wife desertion that 1t is their
duty to have the man punished under the
criminal statute relating to such offenses.
Before adjourninz the afternoon session Of
court yesterday, during which several d.
vorce cases were tried. he took a copy of the
statutes and read aloud the section re-
lating to wife abandonment.
The law provides a penalty of one year
in Jail and fine of $1,000.
He then announced his views from the
bench.
Marriages, he said, are too recklessy en-

men. in many cases desert their wives in a
short time. At the expiration OF a year

In other cases. he said, the desertion takes
