The largest weekday crowd that ever attended a ball game in Montgomery was present, and the outrageous in1us- tices of the umpire incensed them to a degree almost beyond forbearance.

 Very seldom does if happen that there IS more infuriated crowd of people than was that which witnessed the game. Umpire Keefe was the cause of the trouble. His umpiring was just about the rankest thing of the kind ever seen All the way through he seemed to have the deliberate intention of giving the game to Memphis.
 To the credit of Manager Whistler and the Black Sox be it said, they submitted to the decisions, protesting strenuously at times. but never going to extremes until the last half of the ninth inning. By a great batting rally in this inning, four | runs had been scored and Nolden was knocked out of the box. There was nos | body out when Flanagan went to bat | and Keefe called him out on balls that

WHAT AND HOW TO EAT.

readily answered by the lrishman TO

said the best time to eat was when
we could get it, and as to how much

But it appears the lrishman and the

WAR ON DIVORCES

The churches, that have been so
long silent. or at least nottully alive
to the Importance OF the sublec1, are
now aroused and are making war on
;he practice OF granting divorcesio
trivial causes. la fact some 20 SO
far as to object to divorces on all
Int one cause. Cardinal Gibbons Is
sued a very strong paper some time
since on the subject that attract d
considerable attention, inwhich be dis
cussed the subject from the various
standpoints from which it might be
viewed and showed that the practice
was wrong and that its influence was
hurtful to the home, the church aud
to.soeiety and should not be permit
ted. To obviate such a pernlcious
practice he declared in favor OF a ma
tional divorce law which would oper-
ate alike in all the States and do
away with these miserable "divorce
colonies" that have of late years
been the resort OF many ladies OF
the fashionable circles OF our
larger cities. Following this paper
came the intelligence that the Bishop
of New Jersey, of the Episcopal
church. required a pastorin his diocese
TO resign his charge because he had
married a divorced woman, and A.
though his action was critized, II not
condemned in some quarters, he ad-
hered TO his decision. and the charge
was vacated. In addition 20 tins, n
is stated that the ministers OF other
churches are very parucularto Sno"
the causes for divorce. when they are
called upon to unite in marriag'
couples, one party OF whom has been
divorced, beforethey will perform the
service. and some of them. We are told,
decline to perform the service regard,
less of the cause OF divorce. The Pres
byterian Synod, OF ohio, has spoken
very emphatically on the subject,
and no doubt other bodies OF that
denomination will take similar ac-
ton. That body declared that al
our ministers are hereby enioined 70
reiuse. to perform the marriage eere-
mony in the case of divorced persons,
except such persons as have beea d.
vorced upon grounds and Tor causes
recognized as scriptural in the stand
ard OF our church.
Since the divorce laws OF some
States are so loose, and the laws OF
other States are so loosely admins
tered and divorces are rapidly multi
plying, We feel sure that the remedy
lies with the churches and their minis
tiers. II they will set their faces
against the union Of divorced people,
and decline to perform the marriage
ceremony when one Of the party Is
divorced, it will prove a power to-
wards breaking up the divorce bust
ness.
