CHANCELLOR SAYS
 UNION IS VALID
OPINION IS DELIVERED IN PRES ENTERTAIN CHURCH CASE-THE CHURCH PROPERTY MUST BE HELD JOINTLY.

Fayetteville Tenn, August t.-In his opinion. delivered here today, in the Pres byterian church case against the Union ists. involving the right of possession in the property of the Cumberland Pres byterian church, Chancellor Walter Bear den held that the Union" was valid, and in substantial conformity to the church constitutions, but decreed that under the deeds conveying he property to the trus- tees of the several churches, the bill of the "Unionsts" asking for exclusive pos session in the name of the United church. must be dismissed and the complainants taxed with the costs. The cost of taking their proof was taxed to the Anti unionists,' and both sides appealed.
 Because the court was of the opini on that the property of the Jackson church was not within its jurisdiction the con tempt proceedings against the men charg- ed with violating an injunction restrain ing them from bringing suit in Mad ison county were dismissed
 The court refused to enter into the merits or demerits of the various ec- clesiastioal questions, saying that the question of the wisdom or unwisdom Of the statements or wether the doctrinal agreements warranted union or not, were matters for ecclesiastical settlement.
 Pending appeal the court deereed that an agreement by which the congrega- . tions of the several churches alternated the use of the property should remain in effect subject to modification by mu- tual consent of the parties.

NOTES OF THE WEEK IN WORLD OF SOCIETY Alabama Women Guests at Din-
 ner on BattleShip NOTES HERE AND THERE Alabama Represented In the Number of Southern Beauties at the Fash
 ionable Resorts In
 Colorado.
NOTES HERE AND THERE

The summer girl, comments a writer in one of the Colorado papers, is here in all her glory. She comes from every where but mostly from the south, and the charm of her languor is prevailing the ho-el piazza. country club porches and Casino balcony. Texas, perhaps, may claim the greatest number of beauties here this season, but Louisiana, Ala bama and the southern states are repre- sented, with old St. Louis near the head. There are more pretty southern girls at the hotels ill Colorado and Manitou than have ever been here before this early in the season and nightly they may be seen at Broadmoor radiating the ballroom of the Casino with their gorgeous beauty. Society too, is claiming more southern girls for it's particular attention this year than usual and Cupid will fall short in his reckoning il there are net a num- Der Of conquests in bachelordom before the season is over.
 The navy is and has been responsible for much of the recent entertaining at Old Point Comfort, Va. Captain Brecken- ridge of the marine corps of the United States Steamship Iowa was the host at a recent dinner on beard lis ship, with Mrs Magruder Miss Magruder, Mrs. Bailey Thomas of Mobile Mrs. Culp and Miss Amanda Moore of Mobile, as his guests. A similar affair was given on board the Ohio for Mrs. Thomas and Miss Moore and Captain Davis of the I'nued States marine corps as host. Mrs. Davis Dunlap of Virginia, who has been very popular at the Virginia Hot Springs, ana otLer well known resorts, during her widowhood is one of the young and pretty women who have many admirers at Old Point. The widow shade of lilac which she affects is most becoming. For mer Governor Henry C. lde of the Phil ippines and Miss lde, and MT. and Mrs. Bourhe Cochran wer0 much in evidence on Saturday and Sunday at Old Point, as both the govef or and MT Cochran were the speakers at the exposition on Saturday. The day was inclement, but Governor Ide looked boyish and happy notwithstanding He wore gray mo- hair duster and Panama hat with a regular to-the- tropics scarf twisted around the crown. MT. Cochran looked proud of his handsome young wife, who wore a black and white striped gown at the luncheon given to them on board the flagship Ohio" by Captain Davis. The other guests were Governor lde and Miss Ide. Mrs. Dunlap. Admiral and Mrs, Hutchlns of the United States navy and the officers of the ward room of the 'Ohio" MT. John J.

The Rev. Cyrus Dane had been many
years rector of Little Wilton; at his
death, Mr. Baumgarten was appointed.
Mrs Dane was left with a very slender
provision derived from an annuity. Her
husband had been quite unable to save
money. The needs of his parish, the
education of bis two daughters, and the
expenses Of living had utterly absorbed
his stipend. and kept him sadly poor.
so poor that the necessary repairs of
the rectory from year to year had never
been attended to, and when he died II
was In a woeful state of diIapidation.
The eldest Of his daughters. Charlotte.
had married George Brice, a nephew of
Brice the surgeon; be was the junior
partner In a shipping house and lived in
London.
When Mr.. Baumgarten arrived to take
possession of his new living, he found
the rectory perfectly uninhabitable. Mrs.
Dane had moved out Of IL to Whitton
Cottage, and it was arranged that be
should take up his residence with her,
paying a certain sum for his board. 1t
was a comfortable arrangement for the
young clergyman, and it was a help to
Mrs. Dane. He had not the means to
put the rectory into repair, and was
told that he must go upon the late rec
tors widow TO do 1t that she was liable,
as In fact she was. But Mr.. Baumgar-
ten could not and would not do that
She had not the means to restore it any
more than be had. SO things were left
as they were to drift, and he made him
self happy and contented at Wilton
Cottage. He had Just entered now upon
the second year Of his residence with
them during which Mrs. Dane had been
seized with slow and lingering illness,
which must In time terminate fatally.
Thrown together In daily Intercourse,
an attachment had sprung up between
the young rector and Edith Dane a con
cealed attachment: for he considered his

lie was an ambitious man, proud man,
though perhaps not quite conscious Of 1t.
and to encounter the expenses Of fanI-
lily household upon small means appeared
to him more to be Stunned than any adj
verse fate on earth. Mr.. Baumgarten
was Of gentle birth. but he had not any
private fortune or near relatives he had
In fact no connections whatever TO push
him forward In the church. For all he
could see now, he might live and die at
this poor living, and he did not like the
prospect.
They soon reached Wilton Cottage.
Mr. Baumgarten went on at once to the
little room he used as bis study, but
