requirement that husband shall sup
port his wife, under the act OF Con-
gress that makes these non-support
cases triable in United States Police

Attorneys Newton Donaldson and
Michael Colbert, aIcsearing for the de-
fendant, contend that the wife desert
ed her husband without Just cause and
refuses to live with him, thereby can
ceiling his obligation to support her
Judge Pugh has ruled that only
death or divorce relieve a man of his
obligation to support his wife" But

ANXIOUS OVER STATE LIBRARY
Has Been in Cellar of State Building
During Reconstruction Work

The condition of the State library
and in fact of all the Safe property
is Just now causing many complaints
and much apprehension, particularly
in legal circles. The contents of
the State library, estimated by
Chancellor Nicholson to be worth
over a million dollars and of price
less value as State possessions, are
still consigned to the cellar of the
new State building, where everything
was moved during the building Oper-
ations. Some are inclined to throw
the blame upon the State House
Building Commission, which is ap-
parently doing nothing toward equip
ping and providing the new stacks
and shelves for the library although
the Legislature after a fight appro.
priated $25, 900 to them for these
purposes. Constructors say it will
take six months, now, to mould the
shelves.

Mother of AsburY's Pastor Entertains
the Union on "a Trip to Chinatown"
Instead of the regular parlor
meeting last Monday evening, the
Woman's Christian Temperance
Union held meeting in the lecture
room of the Asbury Methodist Epis-
copal church with an attendance of
nearly seventy. The opening devo-
tional service of the meeting was in
charge of the Evangelistic Superin-
tendent, Miss Mary w. Thompson,
and was as follows: Singing by
congregation, Miss Bertha Smithers
piano accompanist, "There is
Fountain Filled With Blood; ;" prayer
offered by the President of the
Union, Mrs. Kate E. Smithers /;
reading of Scripture Lesson, Mrs.
Joseph Brinton; solo, Miss Nellie
Grant. At the close of this pro-
gram, the president called for the
reading of the minutes of the last
meeting by the secretary, Mrs.
Albert Chandler, and it constituted
the business of the evening. Mrs.
Smithers then introduced Mrs. A.
D. Parry, as a new member of the
Union, who had kindly cons nted to
tell of a visit to Chinatown and
several Rescue Houses and Missions
in New York City. In beginning her
story, Mrs. Parry said that some
years ago in company with other
church workers of the city of Balti-
more, she visited New York City anC
studied rescue work there with the
purpose of it's establishment in Bal
timore. And then she told of hel
experience during the visit and hel
story altogether was an earnest
touching appeal for interest il

ments of the National Woman
Christian Union. The meeting
closed with the singing of "There'
a Wilderness in Gods Mercy" and tn

Smyrna, Del.
Dear Sir: Here's the one big fact
in paint:
Every job painted Deyoe takes
less paint.
If any one doubts this statement
here's the proof:
He may paint half his job Devoe,
the other half whatever paint he
likes. If the Devoe half does not
take less gallons and cost less money
for both paint and labor, no pay.
Yours truly

MARVELLOUS CHANGES ON SEA
Imperative Merits of Ocean Travel
Fifty Years Ago aud

When Mark Twain, in company with

port to port on this novel, floating hotel
was followed with interest by the entire
country At the present time half a dozen
great steamers, each carrying from two
to five times as many tourists, are on
cruise in different parts Of the world. This
attractive method Of travel has become a
fixed institution. 1t Is curious to contrast
the arrangements Of this first cruise OF the
'Innocents Abroad" with those Of today,
nearly half a century later. The Quaker
city. the side-wheei steamer on which the
first cruise was made, carried a few more
than 100 passengers and offered only the
most essential accommodations.
The first Mediterranean cruise cost $3.50
per passenger. with many extras. The ad-
vance in safety and luxury Of steamers
has been marked by a corresponding de
crease In the cost Of transportation. Today
one may encirce the globe on the steam
ship Cleveland OF the Hamburg American
line for less than one-half the fare paid by
the 'fnnOcents" while a long trip 10 the

only one of all the lot who seems to have
thought Of others is Odette, the lilly"
whose wasted life has been one long sacri~
lice, and who mas determined If she can TO
save her sister from a similar fate, As
an excuse for some excellent acting princi-
pally Of exp esson, the play is both inter-
esting and important MIR. BelascO has
staged it after his own fashion and has
provided a most capable company for its
Interpretation.
Judgment halts between two, at least, of
the company, for the place of premiere. Mr..
Cartwright Is an excellent actor, but he has
no advantage over Miss O'Neil in this re-
gard Each has brought to the part in
hand experience, taste and judgment and
each gives a most convincing portrayal OF
distinct character, each entirely dis
similar from the other. MIR. Cartwright
picture of the selfish and domineering
father, inclined to hector his home circle,
is perfected to the most insignificant detail.
1t is really a masterpiece of the creative
art of the actor. And it has an apparent
rather than a real advantage over that
played by Miss O'Neil, the submissive
daughter in that it fills more of the space
Of the stage during a greater part OF the
plays action. But Odette is felt when she
is not seen, and her influence at all times
seems 10 hold IN check that OF the father.
And whatever may be said in praise of Mr.,
Cartwrights art is in an equal measure
true OF Miss O'Neils
Miss Terry's contribution to the emotional
outburst Of the third act Is neither small
nor ineffective; she reaches her climax
with a certainty that shows her reserve is
under excellent control Mr.. Hickman, Mr..
Eagle and Mr.. Dexter provide well-devel-
oped and carefully portrayed characters to
the rounding out Of the story, and Mr..
Holden and Miss Walker furnish q pair OF
personages whose importance TO the action
Of the drama warrants the care they put
upon them
