When it is considered how secular a thins
marriage is now, said the dean, and how
lightly and thoughtlessly it is entered, he
could see a great need for tne message
from the crosw. The home, he felt, is the
center of Christian Influence and so Jesus

necessity of remembering the sacred

In the cathedral Father McGovern solemn

"MAKES LIFE'S WALK EASY
DESERTED WIFE SEEKS DEATH
Woman Walta for Husband's Com Inn
and Tarns to Suicide In
Despair.
Alva Blenden left home Tuesday morn
ing after a quarrel with his wife, saying
to his neighbors that he thought life
would be more peaceful for both of them
if they lived apart. The deserted woman
waited and prayed three day for hla re
turn, and crazed with grief, tried to take
her life Thursday evening by drinking
carbolic acid. She was saved b the in
tervention of her husband's father and
Robert Furay, who came into the house
in time to see her raising the bottle to
her lips.
Before leaving, Mr. Blenden told tho
neighbors the cause of tho quarrel. It
was that his wife had refused to cook a
meal for him. When he tried to reason
with her, she proved she possessed a very
sharp tongue. They had had trouble Vie
fore and Mr. Blenden decided to end 1L
I'p to last Saturday he was employed as
assistant pressman by the Omaha News,
but quit with the expectation of going to
work for the Talbot Ice company, for
which bis neighbor, Mr. Furay, Is fore
man. Tuesday he informed Mr. Furay that
be did not wish employment.
Although Blenden said he did not think
his wife would miss him, It proved en
tirely otherwise. She has called at the
police station and asked the orllcers to
find him; she has written to every place
where she thinks he might go. Until
Thursday she had some l'pe of his re
turn, but that day she gave up, and
when she went to town in the afternoon
she purchased a bottle of acid. Her
father-in-law suspected her purpose and
came Into the house at an opportune time.

acterlzed the event. One was the fact
that there has never boon a denth In
the family of Mr. and Mrs. Butler, and
another Is that every one of their twenty
three descendants was present at the
celebration. Another out of the ordinary

Telephone as a fleformer.
Congressman Bingham, at a dinner of the
Philadelphia Clover club, spoke of modern
life In the most optimistic way.
"The world is growing better," he said.
"Dally it becomes rleaner. kinder, and more
upright. Nearly everything mokes for re
form. Even the telephone has a tremen
dous reforming influence.
"Let me give you an example of the sur
prising effect that the telephone exercises
over our morals.
"A certain man, at breakfast one morn
ing, said to his wife:
" 'My dear, I'll not be home to dinner to
night and you had better not sit up for
me, as I shall be detained very late at the
office posting my books.'
" 'Very well,' the lady answered. 'Before
I g- to bed I'll say good night to you over
the telephone.'

telephone now connected his office and hit
house.' Cincinnati Enquirer.
