SO long as no admission was charged
to spectators. In several cases
where programs were sold on the
grounds, the men selling the pro-
grams were adjudged guilty OF vio-
lating the Sunday laws and fined. The
amateur baseball players throughout
the city are highly elated over the
attitude OF the magistrates, but 1t Is
expected that some Of the straight
laced church people will rebel against
these decisions and will try to bring
the matter before some higher court.
Five years ago Chiel Meyer Grow.
itz. a Russian Jew, now an American
citizen by naturalization, was mar.
ried in New York to Rosie Goldberg,
a Jewish girl of the same nationality.
A short time ago he applied to the
supreme court Tor annulment OF his
marriage, basing his request upon a
singular claim, unprecedented in the
annals of American courts. He
claimed that Rosie had married him
under false pretenses and that at the
time of his marriage ne had not
known that Rosie was deaf and dumb.
This claim seems utterly absurd. yet
there Is reason to believe that the
man really was not aware of the
physical defects of Rosie at the time
he married her. The marriage was
arranged, according to his statement,
while he was still in Russia. He mar.
ried the girl Immediately after his
arrival in New York and, as he had
been informed that the girl could not
speak Russian and he could not speak
English, he did not become aware
of the fact that the girl was deaf
and dumb until some time after they
had been married.
An interesting history Is connected
with the final settlement OF will
case by which the Zion Society OF
New York fell heir to more than ST.
100000 from the estate of William
Nixon, who died in 1905 in the AIDE
laide hospital, Dublin, Ireland. While
engaged in the furnishing and cloth
ing business at Beaver Falls, Pa, in
1897, William Nixon found his keen.
est competitors among the Jewish
merchants. but there were the kind
Hest relations between them. The
friendship went SO far, that when
Nixon became financially involved
those competitors came to the rescue
Of his enterprise and enabled him to
recoup his fortune. Mindful OF the
aid he had thus received, Nixon, be.
fore his death, made a will leaving
his entire estate, with the exception
of several requests to intimate
friends and after the payment of his
debts and testamentary expenses, to
the Zion Society of New York city.
When the new school term begins
the board of education OF this city
will be asked to permit trial of the
experiment of electrifying one of the
school rooms in which class Of de-
tective pupils is being taught. This
experiment has been tried in Stock
holm. Sweden, under the direction OF
Svante Arrhenius, noted physicist
with remarkable success. The cleo
IRRIGATION is produced by series OF
wires imbedded in the walls of the
class room and through which high
frequency currents are permitted to
pass. 1t is planned to have two
school rooms, one electrified, the
other not, and both containing the
same number of pupils of practically
the same degree of deficiency. AT
the end of a certain period COMPARE
sons will be made of the correspond
ing progress made by the pupils in
each room and if the result should be
favorable to identification, the ex-
pertinent is to be tried on larger
scale.
