JUDGE SA Y S FIBS
ARE. FAIR in LOVE
Brooklyn Court Declines to Annuj
Marriage on Account Of
Misrepresentation

NEW YORK, Jan. 3.-If man
represents himself as other than he
really is. and thus wins the hand of
the woman he swears he loves, and
later it is discovered that lie told
many urtruths while wooing, his
wife cannot obtain an annulment or
the marriage.
This holds good in Justice Dickey's
part of the Supreme Court in Brook
the opinion that the calendars in all
the courts would be crowded to the
utmost capacity if all who prevari-
Gated during the courtship period
We're hailed to the halls of Justice
The case that is the latest to be
brought before Justice Dickey is of
the annulment of marriage between
Mrs. Beatrice f. Wood and Seymour
V. Wood. Mrs. wood brings the suit,
and says she met her husband while
on shipboard. Wood she says, made
love to her, vowing that he was at.
torney general for the State of New
Jersey and the son of a general in the
to become his bride, and when they
arrived in England, where their
steamer was bound. they got married,
and Mrs. Wood supported her hus-
band for GA days. Then she learned
that he had told lies, and so left him.
She does not know where he now
lives, but las taken up her residence
in Brooklyn, Justice Dickey said in
part:
ut is not enough that the defendant
is liar, or that he made false repre-
sensations as to rank, fortune or So
cial position, for such representations
give no grounds for declaring the
marriage void.
If the plaintiff was in such a
hurry to marry the defendant because
she supposed he was the son of
general and an officeholder, without
verifying either statement, as she has
made her bed she must lie on it.
Defendant may make good hus-
band without having general for his
father and without being a New Jer-
sey official. If all lying during court
ship was legal reason for annul-
ment of marriage our calendars would
be crowded.
The marriage relation is too sacred
to be trifled with in the way this
plaintiff has done and wishes to do.
Judgment for the defendant"

rage Bring Up Religious
Point.

ROME, Jan. 3.-Rumors of the con-
templated marriage of King Alfonso
TO Princess Victoria, daughter of the
Duke of Connaught, and niece of
King Edward VII, are being discuss
ed from a religious point of view at
the Vatican.
1t is contended there that the Brit
ish constitution, which is positive on
the point of a change of religion by
any member of the royal house,
would render necessary the celebra-
ton of a mixed marriage, after which
the Princess Victoria, being no longer
member of the British royal fam
lily, could become a Catholic.
The Vatican, however, is most ex-
acting regarding the marriage of
Catholic sovereigns, and does not
like the idea of marriage first and
conversion afterwards: and it is sta
ted. admitting that marriage be-

PLAIN DRINKS
WILL BE ASSESSED THREE AND
COSTS FOR THE REMAINDER
OF THE YEAR.

Yesterday afternoon Chief Morgan
and Assistant Chief Bartholow were
summoned to TIE Fourth ward to get
a man who positively couldn't navi-
gate, so drunk was he. a passing
brewery wagon was hailed and the
man was placed on big cake of ice
and brought over to the bat cage. He
gave his name as Goldie Riley. The
mayor in pronouncing sentence an
nounced that all plain DRINKS during
the present year would be fined three
and costs.
The next was an Italian who gave
his name as Little Goodie Two Shoes;
that was what one thought it sounded
like, while the city clerk had an idea
that it was Atlantic City Saratoga.
Anyhow he was arrested at the sta
ton at noon yesterday by Water Com
missioner Swisher, fussy drunk He
couldn't talk lick Of United States
so when the mayor asked solicitously
if he was guilty, Goodie got up and
stalked to the bunch of friends stand
ing outside the railing and everybody
wrote guilty" $500.
The next was another something
which said Burro Cevera when asked
to reveal his identity. He was ar
rested by the Chief on Bridge street
and drunk was the charge He paid
$500 fine.
