garding measurements of yachts for

ton to certain proposals made at con.

On Friday, the 10th, Mr. Albert Max

The CasteIIane Divorce Case.

Paris, March 26.-It is learned that
the hitch in the Castellane divorce pro-
cecdings at the time of the preliminary
hearing when Count Boni pleaded that
ne was i'll with influenza in order to
avoid appearing before Judge Ditto was
caused by question which has arisen
over the disposition of the children.
Boni has discovered new point to his
disadvantage and he is playing Tor time
in order that this new influence may be
utilized to induce his wife to sue merely
for separation instead of for absolute
divorce. These preliminary hearings
has now been fixed for next Saturday,
when husband and wife will appear be-
fore the Court. Boni's discovery which
he is trying to use to force Countess Anna
to change her suit is that since he COM
mitted no crime or felony he is entitled
to the custody of one of the children.
rhe only way by which Countess Anna
can retain all the children is by coming
to an amicable understanding with her
husband in regard to the separation. AS
Countess Anna has made the arrange
ments to return to America with the
three children. as soon az the case has
been settled, Boni sought to gain time
in order that these facts might be i'm
pressed upon his wife, hoping thus to
influence her to have her suit changed
once more back to an action for legal
separation.

The suspicion that the republicans
are paving the way for an attack on
sonthern election laws and southern
State constitutions which limit the fran
chise was practically confirmed Saturday
by the action of House election COM
miitee No. 3 on the Houston Brooke
contested election case from the Second
Texas district. The committee adopted
by unanim lus vote the resolution offer
ed by Mr.. Cassel, of Pennsylvania, de-
claring Houston, the republican con-
ttstant. not elected. Then the question
came on a resolution presented by Mr.
Randall, of Texas, declaring that Brooke,
the sittiny democratic member, was
elected. This resolution was voted
down, the republican members voting
soiidly against it. This division prove:
that it is the purpose of the republicans
to refrain from recognizing the legality
of the Texas election law. As matter
OF fact, the only restriction on the fran
chise in Texas is poll tax, but if the
republicans wish to open a fight for
reduction of southern representation in
Congress they want the whole field OPEN
1t is understood the same course will be
followed in a contested election case
from Maryland.

having served this charge faithfully for
four years. The subject matter of his
text was, the conclusion of the whole

man." He spoke earnestly and feeling

ever assembled IN this church, composed
not only Of his own people but represent

a great help to him in his ministry that
he had never spent more pleasant

here would be to him one OF the brl hest

MONDAY EVENING. MAR. 2e, 1906.

in THE role Of defender of bis belief
against all corners, DR.. Torrey, the
evangelist, now conducting meetings IN
Philadelphia, faced the largest audience
that has yet gathered at MONDAY meet
ing. in the Academy of Music yesterday.
The news that he would answer questions
of any sort concerning the christian re-
lipion had gone fat and wide, and a
motley crowd came to hear him carry
out his promise. There we're doubters'
deists, sgnostics, atheists and unbelievers
of every stamp sprinkled among the firm
believers in the truth OF the Bible. The
stereotyped queries as to where Cain OBJ
taineI A wife as we'll as what species OF
marine monster swallowed Jonah were
pronounced. The doctor had patience
with each interlocutOr, although there
were times when some Of the audience
were inclined to drift into pleasantly
The fact, however, remained that ne had
succeeded in getting a miscellaneous au-
dience most of whom seldom darken
church doors, and is an indication OF
the fact that one mission of the church
is 10 impart knowledge TO such as have
no opportunity to study into Biblical
history or claims, but who are endowed
with a keen relish for such things.
Many truth-seeking people would re-
spond TO invitations to places where mis-
cellaneous questions were Propoundeo
and explained, while it is not so easy to
interest them in the formalities OF de-
vOtiOn.

the church and of their hearty co-opera-
ton in every way with him to advance

glowing and deserved tribute to the

bers Thereof for their fsithfulness and
promptness and the splendid music rem

friction among the members of the choir

efficiency and executive ability and

expressions Of appreciation met with
hearty response from the hearts Of his
people; for no one has ever served this
charge that lived more 10 the hearts Of
his people than Brother stump Uniyer-
sally beloved and respected ty everyone
who know him, his very presence
among us has been an inspira-
ton for good. He has been an sc-
ceptable man not only 20 his home peo-
pie. but to every one in the community. lie

He is man of strong personality and great
decision of character, unc0mpr0mislng m his

to counting popular favor by paudering to

more popular man has never served this

ORA. He leaves us with our best wishes and
tenderest feelings and affection, pray

a deep political scheme lies back of the

and operators in getting to an agreement
as to wages has come to be one OF the
prevailing topics about the hotels, where
representatives of the two sides are stop
ping. Continuing today, the joint scale
committee has been in session six days.
rhe members are tired out and many
delegates to the miners convention, re-
siding in nearby states, have returned to
their homes to await the calling Of the
Joint conference. From sources close to
the inside comes the information that the
question Of wages is not the real cause
of the delay, but that the trust forces are
in reality seeking to embarrass President
Roosevelt. The people who give the
big orders have determined that, at all
costs, Theodore Roosevelt must be put
out Of the running as a great political
factor. At the same source it is stated
that the operators have since the matter
of wages was first brought up been de-
termined that there shall be hO strike.
