DIVORCES DR.. G. T. sRAeAw
Minister'S Wife Obtains Decree on
Ground of Mental Cruelty.

A dispatch from Denver Col, says
Mrs. Louis Minor Bragaw, daughter
Of one OF the oldest and most dis
tinguished families in New England,
obtained a divorce Saturday from DIR.
Griswold Townsend Bragaw, Denver
Episcopal minister, who held his
first charge as q lay reader in Ar
vada, a Denver suburb. He is a son
of E. T. Bragaw, a retired member
of the New York Board OF Trade.
DIR. Bragaw did not defend the suit
and made no effort to disproye Mrs.
Bragaw's charges that he had been
arrested for borrowing money on pro-
perty not his own and that he fire.
quented Denver restaurants and wine
rooms in the company of other wo-
men while she was i'll in a hospital.
On Nov. IL, 1906, New London
Conn. and New York society attend
ed the wedding of Louise Minor, q
graduate OF the Boston Conserva-
tory Of Music and descendant Of the
first white child born in Connecticut,
and DR.. Bragaw, who was a widower.
DR.. Bragaw was graduated from
the medical school Of the New York
University. His first wife was q Miss
Johnson Of New York and Long Is
land About four years ago he de-
termined to give up medicine ana go
ed proper time at Arvada he asked
to be Ordained. Bishop Olmstead,
however refused his request. The
Bragaws thereupon removed to Dick
inson. N. D., where DR.. Bragaw was
later ordained by Bishop Mann.
Last summer, says the complaint,
DR.. Bragaw failed 20 pay their board
and room rent. and he permitted his
wtfe's wearing apparel to be attach
ed for the bill. He never redeemed
the clothes. Mental cruelty was the
charge on which Mrs. Bragaw OBJ
tanned the divorce.

YANTIc PASTOR AT
OUTDOOR SERVICE
Rev. M. Mclean GoIdie Spoke for
Y. M. c. A. Meeting.


On the shady lawn Of the Buck
ingham Memorial on Sunday afternoon
at 5. an audience that exceeded ex-
pectations and required the ushers
to provide additional seats enjoyed the
New. NJ. Mclean Goldie, rector of
Grace Episcopal church in Yantic at
the weekly Y. NJ. c. A meeting. Cen
eral Secretary Edwin Hill presided.
The text was Matthew'S verse, IF
any man will come after Me. let him
deny himself and take up his cross
and follow me-" The speakers theme
was the power Of example. Alexander
won his victories; he was first in
every danger, in the fight against lux
ury, his chariots first found the flame.
So Jesus leads by His example in
every portion of His. life. He trod
alone the winepress of the wrath Of
God. He shows US the sublimest ex-
ample in His life and character. AS
the Lord commanded, so He did.
We treat religion today with in
difference. Men go to church on &C
count of their children. They go be-
cause it gives them a better standing
| in society, an empty bubble pricked
at the first ruffle. When it comes to
| denying themselves and following
Christ. through the troubles of the
world, it is too much for their short
sightedness. 1t interferes with their
money making and their other de-
| sires But the words spoken two
thousand years ago have not lost one
| jot or title of their truth.
| How hard it is for q business man
| to live life Of honesty when he sees
others growing rich around him by
questionable means
It was a. forceful address and It was
well supplemented by the singing, for
which Miss Breckenridge played the
organ and Reginald Ashley the COR
net. Secretary Hill announced that
next Sundays speaker would be Rev.
A. T.. Tedford. It was an encouraging
meeting
