Season Tomorrow.

Managers All Say Teams Are in Good
Condition and Ready for Cham

Weather conditions do not augur
well for the opening of the season in

cut, if the quality of baseball is not a"-
tually affected. Particularly is this
true at Chicago. where the Nationals

latter city where the Chicago White
Sox open, it is likely that the weather
will be somewhat more seasOnable.

GREATLY INTERESTED

to the Church.

are Progressing with In.
creased Interest.

The German Methodist Church
was packed TO it's limit yesterday
Afternoon by children and young
people to listen to the very able ad-
dress by DR.. j. w. Potter. This
was one of the most interesting
meetings of the kind ever held in
the city. and the series of young
peoples meetings TO be held every
Tuesday and Friday afternoons. dur
ins the meetings now in progress
in the Methodist churches, promises
to be among the most profitable OF
the services. Doctor Potter is an
expert in entertaining and instruct
ing young people and children.
Both at the afternoon and evening
services at Epworth church, Rev.
Or. Mahood maintained his high
standard of pulpit oratDry and Bible
exposition. His sermon last night
on the Death OF the Soul" should
Awaken very serious thoughts in all
who heard it.
Rev. d. II. Bailey, the pastor OF
Epworth, stated last evening at the
close of the service that pathetic
feature OF these meetings to him
was the thought that before the
close of the year he should probably
be required TO attend the funeral
services OF some of the members Of
his church who are spending these
Evenings in the play houses or 9TH

about home, denying their Lord

years old, Is the issue of that mar
riage. The husband claims that he
has always been a faithful and hard
working man and taken good care of
his. wife SO long as. she was living
with him. However, 1t seems that
Darley was very partial TO "skidoo"
parties, for he charges that she left
him on May 13. 1901; on June 10,
1908, on Aug. 26. 1905, AMI the last
time on February IS, 1907. He
claims that these absences were will
full and absolutely without any prov
ocation on his part and is of the ex-
pressed opinion that her conduct has
been sucn as to lead him to believe
that she has not been faithful to him
as wife.
The petition further recites that
he believes his wife is now travelling
with vaudeville show troupe and
tfat she has their child in her pos
session. He says that If this be
true. the associations are not PROF.
er for n cil1 OF that age, and he asks
to be divorced and given custody of
the little boy.
