"The Mikado." In the Detroit opera
house.
AT the time this production was
given. the necessity for a music hall
vas clearly demonstrated and the
small amount remaining in the treas

nucleus OF fund for the new build
ing. There are also several friends o!

ENcE TO YOUNG MAN WHO
FAILS TO SUPPORT WIFE.

II will take judicial cognizance OF
the fact that prosperity is abroad In
the land and give this young man one
week in which 10 get job or AT least
show some disposition TO support his
lie. said Justice Jeffries. Saturday
noon. in adjourning the case Of Ar
thur Hood, Nc 1876 Lincoln-ave., whose
wife. Clara NJ. Hood. charges that n
has not given her one penny since
their marriage three years and halt
ago
The marriage was quietly performed
by the Rev. ID. III. Hind, OF Sandwich,
Aug. 10. 1906, and was Kept secret
even from the parents OF the young
people until few weeks ago The
Hoods never kept house. -After- The
marriage Mrs. Hood returned To the
home OF her parents at No 4l5 Lans-
ing-ave., while Hood continued to live
with his mother at the l.incoln-aye. ad-
dress.
Hood. who is 80 years old was for
merly a bookkeeper in the music
house OF Grinnell Bros. Last Decem-
her he joined a stock opera company
ia Chicago at $l2 a week. but gave
up the position and came home few
weeks ago on account of stomach
trouble. he told the court. although
young Mrs. Hood insists that the only
sickness he was suffering from was
worry over her discovery of the fact
that he was planning 10 get divorce.
As a matter of fact, Hood rled 4
bill for divorce the very day Mrs. Hood
secured a warrant charging him with
non support, and Justice Jeffries was
strongly OF the opinion that the sole
purpose was to knock out the police
court case, notwithstanding the de-
PENDANTS testimony that the bill was
filed before the warrant was served
on him.
This man has no more chance or
getting a divorce than he has OF ny
ing" said the justice. Il can see no
reason why ne should not go 10 work
and support this woman. He has en-
loved all the advantages OF married
life for four years and has assumed
none Of its burdens. and IL is high time
he was taking a brace. There Is no
question in my mind OF his ability 10
work IL he wants to. He Is SUFFERING
under the burden OF inactivity"
