t_ — MARRIED AT LLANDUDNO. SEEK DIVORCE AT' DUBLIN. MATRIMONIAL TROUBLES OF ROMAN CATHOLIC AND JEW. A remarkable divorce suit was begun in the Dublin Courts on Friday, when Mrs Kathleen Harris, of Windsor-road, RathmineS, petitioned for a divorce from ¡ her husband, Morris Harris, on the I ground of misconduct and cruelty. The' petitioned, who is a Catholic, was married in 1891, at Llandudno to the defendant, who is a Jew, and carries on a. large busi- ness in Nassau-street, Dublin, as a dealer in antiques. The defence was a denial of the cruelty and misconduct, and also' a plea that if they did take place they had been condoned. Mr Healey, M.P., in stating the ease for the petitioner, said it was largely the result of one of those mixed marriages, which brought despair and sadness on tse who engaged in them. The re- spondent was introduced to his client, by her brother in a Dublin theatre. He at once began the most amorous protesta- tions, and asked her in marriage. So ardent and so persistent was he that she consented, and having received a dispensa- tion from Rome they were married in the Oath olio church at Llandudno, the re- spondent being at the time nearly seventy years of age. After the honeymoon Mr Harris, re- quested his wife, tal remain at, the Welsh watering-place while he went back to Dublin to prepare a home for her, and there she. remained with her sister for a couple of weeks, the ostensible reason being that Mr Harris found it difficult to get his housekeeper out of the house. It transpired afterwards that this house- keeper was the sister of his deceased wife,, a woman named Sarah White. She died last year and counsel said he, would be as tender to her memory as he could. Shortly after the wife returned to Dub- lin religious difference aro,se. The re- spondent heaped, ridicule and abuse on hs client's religion, and eventually ab- sented himself from his home, and not, even took his meals there. The petitioner boldly went one day to the house in which the woman lived, and White then said: "He loves me; he does not love you. I am his real wife, and you are not." This statement she subsequently repeated when she met the petitioner in the street. In 1900, when the old man was very ill, his wife returned to the housel, and found ten relatives by 'his first, marriage! before her, but seeing his condition she continued to nurse him, notwithstanding she was insulted by his relatives. When he recovered she was continually beaten by the old man, and on one. occasion he flung a tiara, case at her, causing an ugly wound on her head, and finally, after an incident no woman could tolerate, she left him for good. Mrs Harris, who stated she was the, daughter of a land surveyor in co. Gal- way, was then examined, and bore out counsel's statements. A child, which survived above a week, was born in 1892. When she arrived back in Dublin after marriage the husband met her, and said he found it hard to get rid of the house- keeper, as she had been in the house for over twenty-seven years. The house- keeper was not got away for a month, and in the interval she took lodgings with her husband. She deta,iled certain acts upon which she founded her petition. At Tuesday's sitting respondent said: he had been in business in Dublin for fifty years as an antique dealer and jeweller, and wa,s first married in 1847. His first wife died in 1863. He married petitioner in 1891. Subsequent to the marriage in the Catholic Church at Llandudno, zn and before the birth of the only child, re- spondent declared that his wife had re- nounced her religion and had become a member of his synagogue. She was mar- ried to him according to Jewish rites. Respondent emphatically denied tha,t there was ever any impropriety of any sort between him and a Miss White. On one occasion, in 1895, his wife went to the house where he was and used the most abusive language. He left the house and she followed him through Camden-street and Dame-street, and there were about forty or fifty people following, and created the greatest sensation. He was compelled to go to the police court and make an application to the magistrate for' protection. She threatened him with all sorts of things. I Interrogated by Mr Chambers as to, his relations with his wife, witness stated that even the night before, Mrs Harris was with him at supper, and had lived with him since the commencement of these proceedings1. She had come into his room and talked to him about the case, and threatened him with the witnesses and what, "Mr Tim" was going tOI do to him. This was greeted with lou:d laugh- ter, in which Mr Healy haying joined, remarked, "That is not condonation, at all events." Witness She threatened me with what "i-Vlr Tim." was going to do with me when he got hold of me.-(Renewe,d laughter.) Asked if he had burned his wife's prayer-books1, respondent replied, "I never saw her prayer-books, but I saw plenty of novels."—(Laughter.) In cross-examinaton by Mr Healv, M.P., witness said he went to Archbishop, Walsh himself about the marriage, and got the dispenation from Rome at once. He paid no fees for the dispensation or for the marriage at Llandudno, He' did not recollect signing any document agree- ing not to. interfere with his wife's reli- gion or that of the children of the mar- riage. The child born was born a Jewess-, not a Christian. The Rev. Moses Hyanson, ecclesiastical assessor to the Chief R.aibbi in London, produced entries made. in the Jewish re- cords as to. the admission of petitioner into the Jewish faith, and also as to the I alleged promise of respondent, to bring up ? the children as Catholics. "Kathleen < Harris," the entry read), "underwent ritual according to Jewish law, and her name in Israel is Rachel, daughter of the patriarch Abraham. Counsel handed in a certificate of bap- tism of the child as a Catholic by Father Carberry, who, it, was stated, died on Saturday. Mrs Elizabeth Sinclair, a daughter of the respondent by his first marriage, de- Z!1 clared she never saw any impropriety be- twen her father and the Miss White men- tioned, who was her mother's sister. She was not aware of her father's marriage until she saw it in the papers. The re- spondent had brought two of witness's sons up Jews. He had adopted them when young. Mrs Harris frequently abused the re- spondent, said the witness, and created scenes at his shop, in Nassau-street. She denied that. she described her father as "a reprobate" to Mrs Harris, or that she bad said to him when sick, "How can you look on. that, woman who has made, your child a, Christian." In cross-examination, the witness said she had spoken to the petitioner to use her influence with the respondent to have him make allowance for'Miss White, who had reared Mr Harris's first, children. By Judge Johnson: She might have said to Mrs Harris that she was the lucky one, as there was a, Liverpool, widow looking after the respondent. Charles Soper, an assistant in the re- spondent's shop, stated he heard the peti- tioner making repeated references to Miss White in the shop. On one occasion he saw her struggling with her husband. She had a knife in her hand, and Harris shouted to him to take it, away. It was an antique kind of dagger that, used to be knocked about the shop.—(Laughter.) The respondent's case having closed, the Most, Rev. Dr. Walsh, Archbishop of Dublin, was called by Mr Healy and ex- amined as to an interview with Harris as to obtaining a dispensa;tion from Rome for his marriage with the petitioner. It was untrue for Mr Harris to say that the dispensation had not been refused at first. The respondent pressed him for special reasons to renew the applicaton, and the witness did so. Mr Harris said that, the, case was one of great, urgency, and the witness lost no time in writing to Rome. The witness was then empowered by Rome to grant the dispensation on the usual conditions as to, the children being brought up in the Cathsolic faith, and tha,t there was to be. no Jewish marriage before or after the Catholic, one. The conditions, which Mr Harris agreed to, were communicated to the priest in charge of the case. The respondent said that he might rely on him with absolute con- fidence to carry out the conditions. T'o the Judge Mr Harris told me of a very serious circumstance which induced me to. renew application to the, Holy See. Mrs Harris, the petitioner, was recalled, and swore, that it, was quite untrue for her husband to swear that she had lived with him as his wife recently. She had- not done so' for years. On Thursday the case was concluded with a verdict, for the petitioner on the charge of cruelty. The jury disagreed on the question of misconduct. Judge Johnson said this was a verdict for Mrs Harris, and gave a decree of divorce, a mense et, thora, with costs. The judge., in charging the jury, saicl there was proof iof physical valence beyond, all doubt. The jury would have. to consider whether the charges of misconduct were, borne out, by the evidence and he pointed out. that servants had substantially borne out the story of the petitioner. The jury were- absent for fifty minutes, and on announcing their agreement on the charge of cruelty stated that there was no chance of their agreeing on the question of misconduct.
A PUBLICAN'S BRIEF REIGN.
A PUBLICAN'S BRIEF REIGN. At the County Police Court, Wrexham, on Tuesday Robert William Jones, land- lord of the Crown Inn, Talwen, Coed- poeth, was charged with selling ale to a, drunken person, and also with permitting Z7) drunkenness. The allegation of the police was that on September 26th a man named Price Roberts: entered the inn in a drunken condition at one o'clock, and remained there playing dominoes with the landlord and drinking ale until 4 15, when Police Constable Thomas. Watkins visited the inn. Roberts, who had! been supplied with six or seven glasses of beerl, was then helplessly drunk. The defendant had only been the landlord of the inn for a fortnight, and was selling under a tem- porary transfer on the day in question, and this would in the ordinary course of things ha,ve been confirmed at this court. Mr A. G. Colbeck, for the defence, ad- mitted the sale of ale to a, drunken per- son, but with respect to the charge: of permitting drunkenness, he submitted tha,t the facts were not so daimagind, as alleged by the police witnesses.The magis- trates found both chargeis proved, and fined defendant, 20s. and costs amounting to R3 Is. 6d. Mr Colbeck said he could not now ask for the transfer of the licence to the man who had just been fined, but he did ask for the extension of the tem- porary transfer until the next, transfer sessions. This wa,s granted.

FOOTBALL.
FOOTBALL. Saturday was a glorious day for the winter pastime., and many made the jour- ney to Conway to witness the second en- counter between the borough club and Llandudno Amateurs. The result was very satisfactory to the Conway men, who won by three goals to one, after a, very in- teresting and pleasant game. This is the second occasion the Amateurs have had to acknowledge defeat by Conway this season, but on neither occasion were the Amateurs fully represented, so that the result of the tie in the Welsh Coast Amateur Cup Competition is still as open ,as ever. < The match was under the auspices of the Coast League*, so that two valuable points were lost. The Juniors included in the eleven one and all played a good game, and give promise of better things when experience has been gained. The old war horse, Jacob Williams, wa,s the best man on the ,field. Indeed, all played well, and notwithstanding this defeat the team should look forward confidently to revers- ing the position at the next time of ask- ing'
IN HIS OWN DEFENCE.
IN HIS OWN DEFENCE. Quite recently a seedy-looking in- dividual was charged at a, provincial police-court with having stolen a lady's purfre, containing, a substantial amount. The prisoner defended himself with all the ingenuity of a practised lawyer and a persistence worthy of a better cause. "I did not, steal it," he maintained. "The lady dropped her purse, and I found it on the pavement." "Did you see; the purse fall?" demanded his worship.. "Yes." "Then why did you not at once restore it to the rightful owner?" "I did not know who was* the rightful owner. True, the lady dropped the arti- cle, but that evidence as to ownership was purely circumstantial, and by nc means convincing." "What do. you mean ?" "Well, supposing that I had dropped the purse myself, after having picked it up, would that have convinced you that I was the rightful owner?" "Certainly not," sternly answered toe astonished magistrate. "That's exactly my view of the case, your worship," remarked the prisoner, jauntily; "and in the absence of corro- borative; evidence in support of her claim, I determined to retain possession."
RECOGNISED HER.
RECOGNISED HER. An old farmer couldn't really believe that people who were miles apart were able to converse over a telephone wire. One lady his wife went to, a distant friend who had a telephone in her house. Dur- ing the afternoon the farmer sought shelter from a thunderstorm in the house of a neighbour who also possessed a tele- phone, and who persuaded the farmer to call up his wife as a little surprise. Fol- lowing instructions the farmer put the re- ceiver to his ear, and after the usual pre- liminaries he shouted: "Hallo,a, Jane!" Just, then a fla,sh of lightning struck the wire, and he fell to the floor under the force of the shock. Rising to his feet and shaking his head: wisely, he said:- "It's wonderful; that was Jane right, enough."

Mr Henry Pooley, the inventor of the weighing machines-, has died at his, res- dence at Lisoard, Cheshire. He was seventy years old, and amassed a great fortune out of his invention. At Marylebone a defendant was- de- scribed by a police constable as "an in- venter." "What does he invent?" asked Mr Plowden. "Dog biscuits," was. the policeman's solemn reply. At, a meeting of the Holywell Board of Guardians the Chairman stated that the grandfathers, .grandmothers, aunts and cousins of the paupers, at present, on the Board's list, had all been paupers before them. Mr Llewelyn Kenrick, solicitor, has been appointed by the Denbighshire County Council coroner for the Eastern Division of that country, in place of Mr Wynn Evans, who resigned the position some weeks ago.

'■ CHURCH TEACHERS' SALARIES,. PROTEST FROM, CONWAY. J At, a meeting of Conway school man- agers held on Monday the following re- solution was; passed —"Whereas (1) I Church people in Conway, at the invita- tion of the State and,alt the request, of the parents, have provided at, their own cost three schools valued at 2,6,000 and ac- commodating 700 children; (2) by plac- ing these valuable buildings at the dis- posal of the local education authority free of renti, and, by providing: the cost of v structural repairs and improvements, the trustees more than meet the total cost of the religious teaching; (3) the local edu- cation authority having repeatedly as- sured the public that, not a penny of rate has been devoted to non-provided schools, it necessarily follows that in making any further reduction of salaries they are withholding from: the teachers grant, money, which they have fairly earned for secular efficiency; and (4) the cost of teaching one morning in the week the portions of the Church Catechism not included in the. Bible syllabus would only amount: to 1 per cent of the teachers' salaries; the managers of the Conway schools regard the proposal of the Edu- cation Committee: to reduce the teachers' salaries, by 10 per cent as eminently un. fair and an additional penalty inflicted; on teachers in the non-provided schools of the county."
