SODINI LOSES HIS
DIVORCE APPEAL
The Supreme Court Decides
Against Minneapolis The.
atricai Manager

John c. Sodini, the Minneapolis the
atrical manager. loses his appeal to
the supreme court. Judge Z. A. Jag
gard yesterday handed down a deci-
sion sustaining the Hennepin county
district court, which decided for Mrs.
Sodini in divorce proceeding insti-
tuted by her husband. The wife had
Med cross bill, adding cruel and in
human treatment to the statutory
complaint filed by her husband.
Inc principal point on which Sodini
based his appeal was that the COM
plant in divorce proceeding begun
IN 1895 by Mrs. Sodini, then Mrs. Nell
son, had not been served on Robert ].
Nelson, her then husband. 1t was al
legged that the complaint had been
, served on one John s. Bradley at Phil
adelphia, instead of Nelson. Sodini all
legged that because of the defaul in the
service of this summons his wife did
not have the capacity to contract n
second marriage, and he sought to
nave his marriage annulled. Mrs.
Sodlm proved by the sheriff who serv-
! gI the summons and complaint at
PhlIadelphia that it had been served
on Bradley. who had as an alias the
name of Robert j. Nelson The case
VIII now be heard on its merits in the
Hennepin county courts. The svl-
labus:
default Judgment in divorce proceed
IhgS Is protected against collateral at
TACK Dy the same conclusive presumptions
OF validity and by the same favorable in
ment ~ J"Ne-
II the language of the return of service
OF summons and complaint in p default
ulVorce Judgment fairly admits of an in
,erpTetatlon. which will make that return
lesal and sufficient. it should be so con-
strued upon collateral attack.
Mhen the return, on which default iudg-
ment In divorce is based. shows that the
summons and complaints were properly
ana personally served on the defendant
II Is lmmaterial that the officer making the
service also certifies that the name by
Whlcn the defendant was described IN the
papers served was not his true name but
only an alias
PERSONAL service of complaint and sum-
mons In divorce proceedings outside of
the state Is sufficiently authorized by
sections 1896 and 1891 Gen Stat 1894.

Famous hummer Hotel, the Grand Union
OF Saratoga, Has Installed This Best
of All Artificial Lights-Means In
creased Comfort aud Health.
Saratoga, June 27.-The very name,
Saratoga" brings to every mind
health-giving springs, unsurpassed ho-
tells and beautiful drives. 1t has been
for many years the Mecca for all who
admire nature, enjoy good living, and
are searching for health, or are simply
taking n vacation.
The Grand Union, the largest sum-
mer hotel in the United States, set
among green trees with its long wings
enclosing a court with fountains and
flowers, grass and trees, music and
light, is throughout the season thronged
with guests. With the progressive
spirit always shown by its manage
ment, the Grand Union has again i'd
cd to its attractiveness by intrOduc-
ing a~cetylene gas to make still more
brilliant the evening hours. The genial
| proprictors believe in furnis hing their
guests with the best Of everything.
and now, after Investigating and find
ing that Artificial Sunlight can be had,
they have installed a complete acety-
lene gas plant to produce it, and have
connected upwards of six thousand
Acetylene burners In and about the
plant.
Like many discoveries Of recent
years, which are coming into popular
favor, acetylene, one Of the most re-
cent, is very simply produced. 1t is
adapted for use wherever artificial
light is needed and the necessary ap-
paratus can be understood and Oper-
ated by any one.
The generator in which Acetylene
is produced by the automatic contact
of carbide and water might be termed
a gas plant, as it performs all of the
functions Of a city gas plant. The
acetylene generator can be purchased
for a few dollars and in any size, from
one adapted to furnish acetylene to
ten or a dozen burners for a cottage,
up to the large but still simple ma
chine such as is now furnishing Acct
ylene for six thousand burners in the
Grand Union.
Outside of large cities the use of
Acetylene Is quite common. The own
err Of the country homo now demands
running water, gas and other convent
ences which a few years ago were con-
sidered as luxuries, and acetylene gas
has met his requirements, and gives
him a better and cheaper light than is
ordinarily furnished in cities.
1t Is well known that rooms lighted
with Acetylene are more comfortable,
because cooler, and more healthful be-
cause the air is not vitiated.

Athletes the Best eunners.


Many army and navy officials hold
that rational athletics form a very
valuable training for future soldiers
and sailors. On the United States
warship Wisconsin, flagship of the
Asiatic Squadron, is published a
monthly publication called the Bad
ger, which says: "In looking at the
work done with our battery We find
that Friel, one of our best baseball
players, is the captain of the six-inch
gun which made the best record on
the range; McAndrews, our standby
on the football team, was n of the
pointers at the same gun. At another
gun, Smith, the captain of the team
fired a string which tied with Nc
Andrews.
"BringcIee, Christensen and Lame,
who defend the ball on the gridiron,
fired three strings of record shots
each from the thirteen-inch guns with
out a miss. With the six-pounders it
took Ridge, our wellknown pitcher,
to fire the banner gun of the ship,
while Lucid, whose value OF the dia-
mond we all know, takes the second
place.
"a man who demonstrated his abil-
ity in the field of sport and shows his
enthusiasm and interest in athletics
will invariably be found not wanting
in the other duties he is called upon
to perform. Training and develop
ment in one line mean an increased
efficiency in the other.-Chicago

A Little Too Precious.

Arson Phelps Stokes, Jr., the Sec.
rotary of the Yale corporation, takes
a profound interest in children. Talk
ing with an undergraduate, he said
the other day:
Children should be modest, shy
quiet. That type of child is apt TO
turn out better in the end than the
clever, laxative, ~precocious type. II
is apt to have a broader, nobler mind.
The laxative and %precocious type is
apt to be shallow.
For my part, / should hesitate to
promise much for the future of sc
precocious a youngster as in
Quincy Adams that / heard of last
week.
This Quincy Adams child, 4 little
girl of seven or eight years, stood one
day before a closed gate.
"A gentleman passed slowly. The
little girl turned and said to him:
"sWill you please open this gate for
me-?
"The gentleman did so. Then he
said kindly:
"Why. my child. couldn't you open
the gate for yourself?'

Great Bank squeezes Pennies.

The Worlds Work, in a recent is
sue, shows how carefully the First
National bank of Chicago looks to its
postage account. Stamped postal
cards are not used, and not one OF
the thousands of routine letters that
are written every day is stamped and
sealed until the whole routine mail
of the day is assembled in the after
noon. Then all the cards and letters
to one correspondent are put in a sim
gle envelope, and-except for letters
from the officers and the like-the
bank comes as near as possible to get.
ting its entire mail carried at 2 cents
an ounce, or 1 cent for every postal
card, instead of often paying 2 cents
for a quarter Of an ounce, as 1t would
have to do if every communication
were sealed and stamped separately
This little matter of getting full value
out Of a 2 cent stamp makes a saving
of $25 to $50 a day."
