 IN THIS CASE Cazely Testimony Given To-Day a Surprise to Attendants of the Superior Court DIVORCE NOT GRANTED Judge Says He Will Hold the Case Up For a Time and Will Keep
 His Eye on the
 Parties.
DIVORCE NOT GRANTED

During the hearing of the contest ed divorce suit of Elnathan Gazely against Adelaide Gazely in the su- perior court this afternoon, it trans pired that George F. Bolton, the CO., respondent, paid to Gazely $500. One evening Gazely, who is employed by the Oakville Pin Go, found his wife and Bolton in a buggy on South Elm street. Bolton asked him to keep quiet about the matter and he would give him anything, and Gaze ly said he would not say word about 1t for the world. When Attor- ney c. G. Root asked Gazely if he had accepted any money from Bolton, Gazely, to the surprise of all in the room, admitted taking, through At torney Lauber, his counsel, S600. Judge Case asked him what he took it for. Gazely did not answer and the court said: Hush money for your wife's disgrace; is that it?"
 Gazely then said he took 1t be- cause his lawyer advised him to, and that he signed receipt for the money and he took it because 1t was better, he thought.
 On the advice of the court Attor- ney Root questioned Gazely further on this point and Gazely said he had fixed no figure; he left it all to hls counsel.
 The court asked him if the sum was satisfactory to him or to his counsel and he said 1t was satisfac' tory to both. He also said that nc took the money because he thought 1t would keep Bolton quiet, and away from Mrs GaZely. Attorney Root asked him what die he care whether or not Bolton kep' away from Mrs Gazely. and Gazely hesitating to answer. the court said His honor, probably.
 Afterwards Attorney Laubel brought out that the sum was palo in settlement of suit against Bol ion for alternating Mrs Gazelys al fections. There was no defense, Mrs Gaze

Christianity, Buddhism and Nirvana.

Christianity, Buddhism and Nirvnnn.
 Buddhism and Christianity are at one in that they perceive our life here Is but for moment and if rightly lived it must be lived in view of an eternal life or life hereafter. Life does not cease with our departure. It continues still beyond, and that life beyond will be shaped by the life here. Both insist on this, yet there is here a strange difference of emphasis. for that which is promised in Buddhism is that in proportion as we are right eous here so shall existence hereafter be shortened, whereas in Christianity 1t is promised that in proportion as we Are righteous here we may be assured of an immortal life hereafter. In Buddhism desire is regarded as the evil thing and as that which produces existence. When Q man Is filled with desire up to the moment of death thereafter that self asserting desEe goes on. He is reborn and given fur ther opportunity. He may still main- tain a degree of self assertion and be born over and over again. This Is the immortality of Buddhism. But If he succeeds in altogether suppressing de sire, If he can entirely obliterate per sonality, then he has attained to Mir vana here and hereafter.-Exchange.

Paris, Dec 14.-The first day Of the regime of the separation of church and state having been passed without grave disorders public interest ill the details of the continuation of the struggle is already yisibly nagsing' It Is now apparent that the resistance of the clergy will be purely passive and that there is no prospect or re- ligious passions being aroused unless inc churches are closed and the gov ernment therefore is resting on us oars and will continue to do so uhtii parliament authorizes the drastic measures which the cabinet IS pre- paring. In the meantime in this ety. except in ten churches where legal applications were filed the police again took notes of infractions oi tiie law at the morning masses.
 Cardinal Richard, (archbishop oi paris) is awaiting expulsion from the Episcopal mansion.

 The Action, a violent socialist or gan. today made an attack on the royernment and created an absurd scare by calling attention to the 1ae' that the Catholic gymnastic societies had numbers of rifles. There IS no, the slightest evidence, however. tna' armed resistance is contemplated.

.Keys. and .Qu.ys.v

The keys of the Florida coast illus trate, by the spelling and pronuncia- ton of their name, the remarkable power words have to affect other words more or less like themselves. These keys, deriving their name from the Spanish "cayo." sholl rock or bar rler reef, would still have been called "cays," no doubt but for the influence of the kindred word which we now write "quay," but still pronounce "kee.' The new spelling is modelled on the modern French "quai," but the pronunciation is trace of the old spelling "key." which prevailed from the fourteenth to the eighteenth cen tury. Yet undoubtedly this "key" used to be pronounced kay" and 60. as Shakespeare's and Dryden's rhymes prove, did the key of lock. It was the door "kay's" change to "kee" un- der Scottish influence that set the ex- ample to the others.-London Chron- icle.

ALL THE FACTS
Agreement Reached fin Testing the Validity of Segregation
 of Japanese Children
TEST CASE READY

San Francisco, Dec 14.-An agree ment was reached yesterday between the authorities involved as to the statement of facts to be made the basis of the proceedings to be begun in the state supreme court as to the validity of segregation of Japanese school children here.
 The statement of the facts finally agreed on is essentially the same as the one drafted last Friday, which has already been published. A change was made by the United States dis trict attorney in section five of the document, which now draws atten- tion to the fact that Nitchilsuki Aoki, the father of kei Keichi Aoki, by whom the proceedings will be brought, pays taxes here.
 The section now reads in part that Kei Keichi Aoki was born in Japan and is a subject thereof; that the said infant is of the age of 10 years and 3 months and with the excep- tion of being of Japanese descent has the qualifications provided by the laws of the state of California for admission to the public schools; that Mitchilsuki Aoki. his father, was born in Japan, is not a naturalized subject of the United States and is a subject of Japan, but is resident and taxpayer here. that the above named infant. prior to the adoption of the resolution of the board of ed- ucation, attended one of the regular public schools of San Francisco to which American children and the children of other nationalities were admitted. and that after the passage of said resolutions he was prevented from attending any public school other than an oriental school.
 The father of the boy is a book seller and has refused to allow his son to attend the oriental public school.
 Another change eliminates all ref erence 10 Korean and Chinese chil- dren. thus disposing of the question whether the segregation also could not be construed as unjust discrimi- nation against Koreans and Chinese United States District Attorney Devlin has telegrapned the state ment of facts in full to Attorney l General Moody and will await final instructions before instituting the proceedings.

WASCHRISTMASSTOCK

Hartford, Dec 14.-Four stores in the heart of the business district were gutted by fire this morning and the loss will be large in view of the stock of furs and silverware that is destroyed. The fire broke out at 2:15 this morning in the cellar of a building at No S7 Pratt street and quickly spread to the adjoining stores, one of which is the jewelry house of J. E. Griffith, which carried a big line of Christmas ware. E. H. Cooks fur store was gutted, also the photograph store of N. H. Sperry.
 Before the firemen could get the blaze under control the floors of the stores gave way and the flames spread to the upper sections. After a hard fight the firemen got the up- per hand and checked further spread of the flames.
 It is estimated that the loss by the fire amounts to $2S.000, divided as follows: J. k. Griffith, 5000; N. A. Sperry, $3,0O0; E. H. Cook. $10,000; Risley & Fisher, linen goods, $5,OO0; on the building. $o,000. Several doctors who had offices and rooms in the burned block lost slightly as the result of the fire good part of their losses being caused by smoke.
 Several persons rooming in the up- per floor were driven from their beds, but all escaped without injury. They were able to save most of their eff fleets.

ANY RAGS. ANY BONES.
The Roscnbaum Bros, Junk Dealers, Resent Board of Health Statement.

The board of health has met foe men worthy of their steel in the per sons of Jacob and Joseph Rosen- baum, junk dealers at 21 William street. The health board considers the business which the Rosenbaums conduct there constitutes a nuisance. and while they have not yet been or dered to get out. wha; has been done is tantamount to that, and the de- fendants have taken steps to give the authorities battle. They have retained Attorney Lynch to state their case and the row promises to be far more interesting than that which is being waged over the pre- sentation of The Clansman." The defendants claim that rag shops exist in all parts of the town and of every other town in the country and that so far as they know no legislative en- actment has proclaimed them a pub lie nuisance. To be sure it will be hard to beat the health officer and other physicians in case they appear before the courts and state that the business on William street Is a nui. sance. but you never can tell wha, way a court will look at such ques. tions so that no matter how sure the health board may be of winning out there is always doubt in such eases until it Is finally disposed of. Many of the residents will join forces vitl the authorities to find some more suitable place to sort over their rag and other things which they collect in all quarters of the city. The out come of the battle will bc awaited with considerable interest not oni, by those directly concerned but by others who are contemplating takins similar action to drive out junk men whose profession. they claim.
