BATONYI SUES FOR
WIFE AND ST 300. 900.
Said to Have Muckraked Newport in
complaints-Names Father-in-Law
as Co%nspirator.

NEW YORK, Jan. 2Z.-Aurel Batonyl
has more than fulfilled his declaration,
three months ago. that in his forthcoming
battle to regain his wife he would make
startling charges of conditions prevailing
in the fashionable set at Newport.
His suits have now been filed. The ac-
companying co nplaints are as strange as
any ever catered in the New York courts.
Specifically. he charges Frank Work,
the millionaire father-in-law OF Bstonyi,
]. Henry Work. Frank X. Sturgis and
Mr.. and Mrs. Peter Cooper-Hewitt with
conspiracy to deprive him of his Swife.
Suits are also instituted separately
against Frank Work and against Frank
X. Sturgls, as aruh-conspirators.
In each of the three actions he makes
claim for 100000 damages.
Batonyi has said that he does not be-
lieve his wife acted Upon her own volt
ton in seeking a divorce. He thinks she
was influenced by his enemies, and insists
his life with her at Newport was made as
miserable as possible by these enemies.
Before his complaint was formally drawn
Batonyi said that while he was with his
wife at Two-Mile Farm he was made the
victim of jealous spite in many ways. His
horse and dogs were poisoned, he asserts,
and declares that his crops were destroyed
and his fences torn down.
In view of his statements the members
of the fashionable set have been express
ing great curiosity 10 learn whether the
case would ever be allowed to comet TO
trial, and the announcement that the pa
pers in the complaint and the answer have
been served will add to the interest.

CHINAMEN AND WINE.
Drinking Capacity Was Well Thought
of in Ancient China.

The price of wine and the quantity
consumed in ancient times must always
remain more or less a matte of specu-
lation, in view of the changes which
have taken place in Chinese values,
weights and measures. The Emperor
Chen Tsung is said to have been able
to drink three tou, or what we now
call three gallons, without being con-
fused; but what a tou may have con-
tanned at the beginning Of the eleventh
century is almost impossible to say.
He one day inquired of his courtiers
what a been the price of wine under
the Tang dynasty, and was told, three
hundred cash n gallon" as could be
proved from a verse of the poet Tu Flu:
See, three hundred cash in my pocket
I've got;
'Tis exactly the sum that will buy us
a pot.
a capacity for wine seems always
to have been as highly esteemed in
China, says Herbert A. Giles, writing in
the Nineteenth Century. as with us in
the eighteenth and nineteenth CEN
turtles. In fact, one emperor declared
it was just as essential to the success Of
q banquet as a capacity for verse. The
mythical emperors are usually said to
have beer able to swallow prodigious
quantities, but as these quantities are
always measured in cups or goblets, we
are unable to form any reliable esti-
mate of heir powers A late emperor,
who asked the elder of two brothers
how he compared with the younger,
received the following answer: "As a
thinker. he beats me; as a drinker, l
beat him"
Another official. named Ii Tu, who
regularly took too much, was urged by
his friends 10 give up drink II take
it for my health" he replied. 81 can
not do without 1t, and / find this a
~pleasurable way of spending my de-
clining years" To his son he once
said, in a play upon words which can
not be reproduced: "Water is an ex-
eellent thing-in a landscape, but if
l can die drunk ! shall die happy" In
like name argues Yuan Hao-wen of
the Nu-chen Tartar dynasty: IF a man
does not drink wine, how is he to cure
his various complaints"
There are many stories in Chinese lit
erature of practical jokes played on
tipsy people. One man, in early days,
when shoes were left at the house door
custom borrowed later on by the
Japanese-used to amuse himself by
mixing up the shoes of his guests and
r%earranging them at random, the re-
suit being that when the guests took
leave. already half-seas over, with
one big shoe and one little one, there
were many falls and sprawlings in the
road. much enjoyed by the most who
was seeing his friends home.

ORIGIN OF RELIGION.
Savagcs' Rude Ideas of the Forces Of
Nature Were Worshipped.

Before an audience consisting largo
~ Of %clergylnen. Professor George r..
Moore. rockingham professor of the
history of religions at Harvard, de
livered the first of two lectures on
THE Origin of Religion at Kings
| Chapel, says the Boston Transcript.
In his analysis of the first religious
impulses of primitive man, Professor
Moore said, in part:
The problem of the origin of re-
ligion was, in antiquity, Identified with
the question, What did men Worship
Two theories were current; one, that
the heavenly bodies were the oldest
gods; the other. that the gods were
men of remote times, warriors, fnYen-
tors, dead kinsmen and the like.
Both these theories have survived to
our day, and, since the eighteenth CEN
fury, a third has taken it's place be-
side ~them-that the earliest religion
was the worship of stocks and stones
commonly called fetichism. None Of
these theories is sustained by the his
tory Of religions; the question in this
form is historically unanswerable.
1.-THE problem may, however, be put
in another way. What is it hat makes
men religious? What is the root Of
religion in human nature? Various
answers to this question. also. have
been given-fear, the sense of depend
ence, the perception of the infinite.
The most adequate answer seems to be
the impulse of self-preservation which.
in it's higher development, becomes tile
desire of complete GENERALIZATION.
"The primitive religious conceptions
are shaped by mans notions of his
world and it's workings. He recognizes,
In the powers of nature which affect
his life, Wills like his own; that is, he
personifes these forces and believes
that they can be Influenced or con
trolled as many persons are. He imag
ines them as souls or spirits in ac-
cordance with his instructive psycholo-
gy. His relations to these powers, and
the means by which he seeks to make
them favorable to him or to defend
himself from their iil-will, are deter
mined by these notions. If these means
were successful, they were remembered
and repeated, and thus the forms Of
religious observance became fixed in
tradition. Some men were more expert
than others; they became the medicine
men, fetch doctors and forerunners OF
the priests Of the higher religions"

special laws relating to the city be-

by Herbert Boggs. special counsel for
the city, and the work is now printed
