MRS. HOSEA, WHO WAS FORMER
LY MISS RUTH BUSH, is GRANT
ED DIVORCE IN MoBILE-sHE
RESUMES MAIDEN NAME.

Mobile, August Especial Mrs. Ruth
Bush Hosea has been granted a divorce
from her husband, Robert Hosea, Jr.,
and both the complainant and the de-
PENDANT are all allowed to again marry.
Mrs Hosea is allowed to resume her
maiden name which was Miss Ruth
Bush. She Is a daughter of ]. Curtis
Bush, and niece of Thomas G. Bush.
She was married to Mr.. Hosea in New
York a year ago, having met him in a
church choir there. The marriage was
followed by quite a sensation when Mrs.
Hosea made the charge that she had
been hypnotized by Hosea and that she
did not know what she was doing when
she entered into marriage contract. The
New York papers devoted considerable
space to the story at the time.
Mrs. Bush refused to live with her hus-
band, and entered the suit for divorce
shortly after the marriage. Mr.. Hosea
Is said to be prominent in New York So
ciety. He offered no objections to the di-
vorce proceedings. The divorce was
granted July 20, but 1t was not learned
until today and then the court officials
made every effort to throw the reporters
off the track

CHURCH AND THEATRE.
One Hall in Asylum Serves for Both
Purposes.

From the New York World.
At the Manhattan state hospital for
the insane on Wards island. in the great
north building, devoted to the men pa
tients, there Is a curious hall for the use
of the inmates and employees OF the asy-
lum. This hall, or chapel, Is vaulted in
the Gothic style of architecture and capa-
ole of seating about two hundred persons.
There Is probably not another public
meeting hall like it In the world In the
respects that make 1t curious. 1t is a
church and ii Is a theatre, and as a church
it is both Roman Catholic and Profess
tant church.
This large hall occupies one end of the
west wing of the great asylum building,
and is entered only through the still larg-
er gymnasium hall. Both of these halls
are two stories high, beginning on the
third floor of the building. Entering the
chapel theatre, one first sees across the
hall the deliberately decorated proscenlum
arch of the theatre, with its brightly
painted drop curtain. At the south end
of the hall is all the paraphernalia of the
chancel Of the Roman catholic church.
At the north end of the hall is the pulpit
and high backed chairs of a protestant
chapel. The benches are like those In a
summer street car-reversible. When the
hall is used as theatre or stereoptican
lecture, the benches themselves are turn
ed about. The little theatre is equipped
with some astonishingly perfect scenery,
designed and painted, as was the arch of
the drop curtain, by one of the inmates
of the asylum, who in his days of useful
ness had been a professional scene paint
er.

LIGHTNING Hits Trolley Car.

An electric car crowded with passengers
bound for Bessemer proved a target for
a bolt of lightning apparently from a
clear sky this afternoon at 3 o'clock near
Twenty-fourth street. 1t is considered ex-
tremely fortunate that no serious results
followed.
The cars on the North Bessemer line
were delayed this afternoon and the dis
'abed car had to he carried into Birming-
ham by the next car, which was thirty-six
minutes behind the car which was struck.
The car which was struck was coming
down the grade in this city near Twenty
fourth street at a rapid rate. Suddenly
from the skies a binding fash came, a
deafening crash of thunder followed, and
then the bottom of the car seemed afire.
Flames shot out on both sides and the car
came to a standstill.
So great was the force of the shock
that the motors of the car were COM
pletely burned out. The passengers re-
manned in the car until another came
from Birmingham, when they were trans
ferred and continued on their journey.
The damaged car was sent back to the
barn.

ANCIENT IRISH FORTS.
Few Realize Wealth of These Anti

From the Chicago News.
Off the coast of Ireland, north, west
and south, lies island behind island. Few
know them and still fewer realize the

have lain hidden there for more than
a thousand years. First In interest, as in

defended often on three sides, by the
high cliffs toward the sea, necessitat-

Of cyclopean masonry, when the stones

ATTITUDE WAS coNcILIAToRY.
Letters Published Which Passed Be-
tween France and Vatican.

Rome, August 4,-The Osservatore Ro-
mano, the vatican organ, publishes the
text of number of letters which passed
between the French government and the
vatican preceding the diplomatic rupture.
These letters however, do not throw any
new light upon the difficulties between
France and the papacy. In an introduce
tory to the letters, the Osservatore Ro-
mano says that several members of the
French government had latterly shown
a desire to gradually break off relations
with the vatican.
The holy see, it says, had hoped that
the French government would have ac-
copied its explanations and that in re-
Spouse to such acceptance the holy see
would have demonstrated that it's policy
was conciiatory one.
