[ Special to Tim BEE. ] Attorney General Leeso was scon by your correspondent last evening and ox- fyrcsscd himself as follows : "Tlio obcct ] of the meeting is to devise .some method of uniting' the masses for the purpose of combatting the control of republi can politics by the railroad corporations of this stato. The power and influence of the railroad corporations is so great that the will of the majority is satisfied. The pass system nnd their paid politicians are used to their .fullest capacity at every ropuoncan convention , county as well as stato. The comings of the road are to a certain extent used for the purposes of controlling our republican conventions. The railroad cappers of the various counties who could not bo elected as road supervisors nro always on hand at the county conventions for the purpose of buying proxies entitling thorn 'to scats as delegates in our state conventions , und it is through this fraudulent system that 'tho republican masses of the state are mis represented. I believe that the meeting called for May 20 should protest against the proxy syspcm , nnd should declare for a re- jiluuuoii lif our freight rates and call upon our republican state central committee to jiiimo nn early date for our republican ntuto convention. By this means the people of our state will have an 'opportunity of studying the characters of Hiich persons as may bo placed in nomination for the state olllces. It can not bo expected that the people are going to swallow any dose , that may bo picpurcd by the hands of the railroad corporations of this stato. I bcliovo that the government of our state and nation was originally designed by the people , for the people and of the people. But at { present It I KCOIIIS to bo a government of the railroadsfor , I the railroads and by the railroads. The ob ject of the May meeting is to remedy this tate of affairs and return the administration of our stuto government to the bunds of the IMjoplo where it properly belongs. Wo meet us straight republicans on May 20 to mark a line of battle , and wo ask the co-operation of all republicans in the state who sympathize with the object of the meeting in reducing the freight rates in this state and wresting the control of the republican party from the hands of the railroads to bo with us at Lin coln , ut Bolianan's hall , May 20. " - What Ex-Speaker Hut-Inn Says. YoitK , Nob. , May 8. fSpccial to THE UKE. ] Hon. N. V. Ilarian , ex-speaker of the Ktatu house of representatives , expressed himself as follows to your correspondent : "Tho object of the meeting called for May 20 at Lincoln , I think , is to convene the tinti- monopoly republicans for the purpose of con ferring together and advis'lng with each ether as to the methods to bo adopted and ,1'ourso , to bo pursued to most effectually In- { orporato their ideas into the platform of the 'republican ' party of the state , and not only have them mndo a part of a platform , but tteok to perfect an organization that will bo ublo to nominate sneh men who will conceive the interests of the people , ho.irken to their voice , and bo willing to answer to thorn. ' Vil'hq ' mooting is not In the interest of any man. aiid is not to consider the candidacy or availability of any man or sot of men. "It is the contemplated beginning of a united effort to have the voice of the rank and fllo of the party hoard In'its counsels that the party may bo redeemed from the domination of corporate influence. All are invited to attend , as I understand it , who are Interested in having the coming state conven tion controlled by the rank and file of the party and freed from the manipulations of in fluences that have not the causa of the people or the success of the party as the object to bo attained. " Opinions From Kurt County. TBK.XMAU , Nob. , May 8. [ Special to Tun Jlisu.J Many leading republicans of Burt county tire looking forward with interest to tbu republican anti-monopoly conference to lw held nt Lincoln May 20. Not many scorn to have formed any definite plan of action , boyoud the prevailing conviction that ar rangements must bo niiulo for thorough work at the primaries. Senator Sutherland thinks the principal , Object of the conference is to decide upon Bomo coin-so of action that shall bo consistent i with the need of the people. Tlio senator fully reitlhcs the fact that the republican party must hflvo for Its standard bearers in the coming campaign men whoso in terests and sympathies nro fully lih'iitllled with these of the people , and to this end ho is of the opinion that It would bo wise to adopt at this conference such measures ns may ptomlsa most effect ually to secure a full representation ut the 1 primaries. W. S. Uralg , ex representatlvo from Craig , Nob. , expresses himself us being in full syni- luthy with this anti-monopoly movement , und .thinks that immediate steps should lw taken to guard against any movement on the part of professional politicians or railroad tools to capture the conventions. U. K. KardwoU of Tcknmnh thinks that the principal question for consideration nt this conference should be , not how the republican party can draw votes from the alliance , but rat , her in what way can the republican party bo placed before the farming i communities as a champion of their interests sa that the necessity for republican fanners to go outside of the party will bo obviated. Mr. Hardwcll regards the comtna confer- onto as OHO that wlll.hnvo n very important bearing upon the silc'-ess of the republican party. Any failure at this time to formulate u plan whereby the party may bo moro closely allied with the interests of the farming com- hihtiltim will have a tendency to create dls- 'trust ' und will make the necessity for Inde pendent action till the more nptwrcnt. Hubert Tcinploton , whoso opinion upon all mutters relating to the welfare of the repub lican party has long been valued in this com munity , was too busy to say much about the jiroposed conference , but ho found time to in timate that unless something wits done shortly that promised some measunjof relict to tlic'furmcrs , the whole political machine 1 would bo turned Upside Uown. that the people might see how the other sldo looked. IVutson nml Sotiiutnko Oppose It. NnmusiCA. Our , Nob. , May 8. [ Special to. TUB BKK. ] lion. Jphn C. Watson , speaker of the lost house of representatives , does not believe it advisable , for the good of all con cerned to hold any side show republican wn fcreiica at this time. "The republican party 1m never since Abraham Lincoln was first chosen M standard Imarer , sent out pickets und advance guards before the party primaries wewi held , " said Mr. Watson , "and I sco no reason why it should be done now. It Is un precedented and unnecessary. The party is able to do Its work und light its buttles after the delegates are elected. Lot the republi can ccutrul committee nuuio the day and elect delegates as heretofore without any political side show at this llmo. " "I am ready to make all Mio fight In the re publican party , " said Hon. Paul Schmlnko , ' and do not bolicvo In any nldo attraction The partv Is always ready to fight for the In terests ol the people \yhcn the time comes. Such n conference 0.1 proposed can do no jxw- fllblo good. " Drift of Opinion nt Hustings. HASTINGS , Neb. , May 8 ; [ Special Tele gram to TUB BEE. ] The result of the de liberations of the anti-monopoly republican conference to bo held at Lincoln on the 20th Inst. Is receiving no end of speculation at the hands of the republicans of this city. While politics is receiving but comparatively little attention In Adams county yet , strong senti ment predominates In favor of an early state state convention * In order to secure an ex pression on Uio subject , your correspondent interviewed several prominent republicans. Editor Merrltt of tno Dally Ncbrasknn , em phatically remarked : "If the conference will express ncnewcd confidence in the ability and Integrity of the republican party of. tlio state to graiipla with the public questions of the day as they como Up , and to deal with them honestly nnd Intelligently before the people , according to time-honored customs , then adjourn , go homo and await results , It will accomplish the mot good under the cir cumstances. The present meeting is a party Innovation not Justified by the exigencies of the political situation except In the Imagina tion of its pdmo movers , who nro not free from the suspicion that they nro influenced largely by personal alms and ambitions. An attempt now in this meeting to dictate or In fluence the action of the party in regular con vention will tend to widen rather than heal any apparent disaffection. Harmony nnd good will is what wo want and must have to enhance the party's interests nnd promote the welfare of the whole state. " Representative Fred Olmstcad is of the opinion that the republican anti-monopoly conference should give the question of trans portation very serious consideration , and cm- body the same In a resolution to bo mndo part of the republican platform , and whatever conclusion reached should bo strictly adhered to by the party. It having been charged in part that the republican party has failed to fulfill all of its pledges , it is highly incum bent upon the party to mnko no pledges which can not bo amply carried out. The so- called alliance republicans will scan carefully the platform republicans adopt , and if they ate satisfied that the party will faithfully carry out its platform , it will do much to keep that element in the ranks , therefore , tha platform shtmld bo explicit , brief and to the point ; do not look for so great a departure from the republican party as has been pro- dieted. All that the larmcrs ask Is that they and tholr Interests bo fairly represented. This they certainly are entitled to , and the party must give them duo recognition ; think an early convention will bo beneficial , bo- .causo It will get the party's position correctly before the people , where it can Co thoroughly considered. Senator Frank Taggart hopes they will recommend an early convcution-for the pro hibition of proxies , in future state conven tions , make n square plank for a fair adjust ment of freight rates , and Icavo prohibition alone. Hon. A. T. Bratton In his opinion says that our farmer friends nnd alliance men who are looking forward for a chance in political af fairs , such us will bring about un improve ment in their condition , should muster tholr forces nnd charge the republican primaries. In this , and almost all the counties of the state , the country precincts could control the county conventions , and by so doing they could turn the whole power of both the name and machinery of the republican party to their service. They certainly could bring about better results in this way than iu any other , both as to securing desired legislation and electing men of their choice to public of fice. Mayor Clarke was too deeply engrossed in the sewerage question nnd other municipal affairs when seen by TUB Bun correspondent to unbosom himself. He. however , favors u late convention : thinks farmers and alliance. people can obtain better results by support ing the republican party than by forming anew now party ; is of the opinion that the clamor for local rates is all wrong , works moro inJury - Jury than benefit ; a long haul reduction , ho thinks , is moro essential nnd beneficial. County Treasurer C. H. Paul thinks the convention should bo hold early for various reasons , und is of the opinion that railroad freight rates are low enough. E. D. Webster , the champion of Congress man Laws , can sco no object for the agitation of an early convention. Ho favors enacting a law in this state fixing the life of state sen ators and representatives at six years. Holdrego llcpuuliuims Favor It. HOLUIIKGI ! , Nob. , May 8. [ Special to THE BEK. ] The leading republicans of Holdrogo , when interviewed by your correspondent relative to their views upon the proposed re publican anti-monopoly conference to bo hold at Lincoln on the SOth , hist. , gave the follow ing nnsVcrs : Ex-County C'erk ' P. O. Hedbud thought the proposed conference both proper and right ; that the conference should servo no tice , in the numo of the outraged people , upon the railroad political bums to keep their hands off ; that the republican voters' should bo urged and shown the importance and neces sity of attending party caucuses and thereby secure a true expression and the will of the republican party , at the same time relegating to merited obscurity the rail road henchmen that in the pJisthave , in every county , hoisted themselves into power and controlled party nominations and delegations in the interests of tholr masters , the corpora tions. J. A. Frodrlcks , ono of the loading mer chants of this citv , bcllovod the republican party was at heart in full sympathy with the people and against railroad control and dicta tion in politics. What is needed is a more general attendance by the mass of republican voters at the primaries. That wo have boon brought to the present deplorable condition , politically , by non-nttcndanco in tlio past to our political duties at thu primaries and the habit of voting for railroad tools when nomi nated. Ho was in full sympathy with the couforoiico. County Attorney O. Norberg claimed to bo out of politics and had not given the matter much thought. E. W. Uoborta , chairman of the board of supervisors , thought the conference all right and hoped that good to the people and the party would result therefrom. Hon. E. D. Elnsol also claimed to bo out of politics and had not hoard or read anything concerning this proposed conference. Ho hold that the breakers ahead for the party was the dancer of the alliance running an in dependent ticket. In his opinion the proper thing for the alliance was to use Its inllucnco within its respective parties nnd where its power would bo controlling. Independent action would inevitably result in a democratic legislature and domocrutia state ofllcials. Democratic members of the alliance would talk Independent , but would not fall to vote the democratic ticket. Banker Updike wanted moro time to think over the matter before expressing an opinion. Dr. Potts preferred Van Wyck for governor as against Attorney Uoncral Looso. E. W. Boyhtol. police .magistrate , was in full sympathy with the movement. Your correspondent could not find any ono who said positively they would attend the conference. Ono Tiling MtCook , Nob. , May 8. [ Special to THE BKI ; . ] A thorough canvass of the leading men in this city brings forth but ono opinion regarding the anti-monopoly convention to beheld hold at Lincoln this month , and that is Unit there Is but 0110 vital question in railroad mat- tew , and that the only way to glvo relief to tlio people of western Nebraska is to secure the moulilcatlon of the long and short haul clause , so that nTcduccd rate to the markets can bo hud on grain nnd Hvo stock , and also the two main articled consumed coal and lumber. Each man spoken to makes this reply : That the local freight paid by them is insignificant , but on grain , live stock , coul nnd lumber thu amount Is many dollars to each man , _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ A. Hovolt Aualnst llosnUin. Aunont , Nob. , May 8 , [ Special to Tnn DUE. ] Mr. E. J. Iluinor responded to the question of your corrcspoudaut as follows : lTho movement moans revolt against bossism - ism , and the control of our conventions , party machinery and nominations by the corporate Interests an. organized protest against the methods too often employed of overriding the v > III of the majority by use of proxies. bribes , log rolling combinations , eta Tbo first step should bo to devise a plan by which nominations can bo nuida by the majority In the party. This U rarely doue in conventions. _ . ilnuli _ _ doing away with conventions and substitut ing primary eldctlons where the electors vote directly for the several nominees in the flrst In ttanco the responsibility is brought homo to each individual nnd an expression of the people plo Is actually obtained. The result can bo canvassed by the central committee. The plan suggested is not free from objection , but can bo made practical and means business. Mere high-sounding platforms which prom ise much will not answer. The party must find a way in which the masses can -clearly express themselves , and It must sco to It that tlio expression Is heeded. Tha old style con vention must go , but Iho reform must bo worked out In the party aud not outside of It , " ' TI1K OI1IOANS. Second Annual Banquet of the Club in Tills City. The man or woman who looked Into the parlors of the Paxlon hotel last night might realize that it was a privilege to have been bom in Ohio. The occasion was the annual banquet of the Ohio club. As early n ° i 8 o'clock the members of the club und the Invited guests began to assem ble , and for an hour tlio sons and daughters of the Buckeye state continued to arrive. With 230 present , Judge Gcorgo F. Brown , the president of the club , in a few well chosen remarks , explained the object of the gathering , nnd during his remarks said , "Ladles nnd gentlemen who como from where the buckeye grows in all of its native profusion , it gives mo great pleasure to bid you welcome to our gathering tonight. Ttio object of this mooting is to pro mote the social interests of nil people , and particularly those who como from the state which will go" down to posterity as the birthplace and homo of presidents. Wo are hero to enjoy ourselves , to cultivate the ac quaintance of the children of that noble state of Ohio , to bindtmow the tics that bound us together before wo loft the homes of our birth. Ladies and gentlemen , I now bid you welcome to-tho hospitalities of our club. and. trust that when you Icavo hero tonight you will do so feeling that wo have done our utmost to show our appreciation of your "at tendance. " The remarks were received with enthusi astic applause , after which a brief lierlod of hand shaking was indulged in , nnd tlio party repaired to the banquet hall , where wore four long tables heavily laden with fruits nnd other products of the Buckeye stato. The banquet , which was served in thrco courses , was of the choicest and most excel lent kind , and wus discussed while a band discoursed music in the alcove , which was almost hidden by flowers and evergreens. Suspended over the table occupied by the president and honored guests of the club , was a beautiful motto , "Welcome Ohio , " wrought in bldssoms of the buckeye tree. After the tables were cleared the speeches of the evening wcro commenced. Dr. Denise , the flrst gentleman callcdupon , said : "I often wonder why Ohloans are called Buckeyes. The huckoyo trco is neither fit for man , woman , fish , flesh or fowl , for you cannot make any use of it that I know of. It is so tough that it will not split , nor can it bo cut ; in fact , it is the toughest thing I know of. This is , I suppose , why the Ohio man is called a Buckeye , simply because ho is tough , and if you don't bclfevo it lot some of the Nebraska people tackle ono of us to night" Colonel Fish said that everywhere ho went it was Ohio , and to got away from the sound ho went south , but there the first man ho mot was from Ohio. "After this I wont still farther south , and there again I met Ohio men. men."To go back , I came here thrco years ago nnd the first man I bucked up against was an Ohio man , running ono of the grandest news papers in the west , and so it is everywhere you will always find the Ohio men gqtting to the front. " Postmaster Cockerell of South Omaha was called upon , and said : "I was born in Ohio. in the valley of the AVabash. In speaking of buckeyes , they grow along the streams in the northern part of the state , and then wo used the small trees for making chimneys , for you know the buckeye tree will never burn , neither will it wear out , and in the latter re spect it resembles us. " W. W. Slabaugh was called and in a happy vein ho explained that he was not on the pro gramme , but as the speakers of the evening were not present , ho would bo compelled to talk. "I nin proud of the state of Ohio , " said Mr. Slabaugh. "I learned there to hold a plow ; I learned there to love a mother who taught me to revere the name of my native state. I am proud of that state , because it is ouu of the gpuulcst in the union. There is another thing I want to say. A man told mo the other day that wo had bettor lot the club die , but wo will not lot the Ohio club dio. The club has como to stay , and stay it will. The banquet wo had ono year ago tonight and the banquet wo have tonight convinces mo that it is a good thing to belong to this club , and I hopp to see the names of every Ohioan in the city enrolled before the end of another year. Letters were road from Governor Thayer and Mayor Gushing in which they expressed their regrets on account of not being able 'to attend , stat ing that while they wore absent in person , they wore present in spirit. The assembly then repaired to the parlors , where un hour was spout in discussing life in Ohio and recounting the many instances of the early days and the circumstances that caused the organization of the club in this city.

But she loft it about six o'clock much subdued and with greatly altered mien. - For Omaha gave her a very delightful cas- tigatlon. Think of It. Omaha 13 , Denver 11. Quite a triumph , wasn't it , when you take all of Omaha's recent bad luck into consider ation 1 Talk about a hot game. Yesterday's was a scorcher , for both teams wont nt each other like a couple of bull terriers and disputed every inch of the way with the obstinacy for which those purps are famed. Thcro was any amount of hitting in the game , and plenty of quick , sharp , brilliant fielding. For this reason , and also for the fact that the score was kept pretty even after the fifth inning , the contest wus excitingly uncertain throughout and kept the handful of specta tors on the ragged edge of anxiety. But hope grew apace as inning after inning wont by , leaving a margin in Omaha's favor , and when the twenty-seventh man went out on n beau tiful fly to Willis and the day was Omaha's the pout up feelings pf the crowd found vent in a resonant shout d'f Jubilation. Victory is very exhlleratiug , vou know. It was a lovely day foribaUplaying lthough it threatened to ram long about the third in ning , and the spectators were alarmed lost this should thwart us after all. But it's all right * Omaha won. Inks , the now southpaw twirler , was In the box for Omaha , and barring his exceeding wildness , showed up with much promise. His three-base drive < iu the second inning , with three men on bases , wus exquisite. In the fourth Inks was relieved by Sum mers , who failed to distinguish himself , Ho was hit hard and made a bad error by throwIng - Ing the ball into the bleachers to catch a man at first , but instead , let two''across the plate. Dambrough , Kqwp s star twirler , com menced the rotating 'for Denver , but at the end of the second inniugi'after seven hits hud been made off of him aim nine runs , ho gave way to Kennedy. ' ' Dambrough is ud hog. Ho knows when he's got enough. , But hero is tne stoty , of the battle. Willis went out in the first on a throw by White to Kowo. Cailavnn made a hit , stoic second and scored on Kearns' two sucker. So much for a starter. But what did Dcliyer doJ Why , she saw Omaha's one , and went'her two better. \ McClelland took first on balls , stole second and tallied on Tredwuy's hit , Trod getting second on the throw-in' to head off Mac. An untamed pitch let him to third , and another ono homo. "Oh ! " Involuntarily ejaculated the grand stand. " ' Ilowo also madd first on four wide ones. Another wild pitch.7udvejl ' him up ninety foot further , a passed bdll gave , him third and ho scored on McGlone's out to Canavau. Then what happened f Hold your breath and read : Grover Cleveland opened up the second with a base on balls , being followed thither a moment later by Moran on four more bud ones. Then Urquahurt made a single uttd the bases were full. Mr. Inks made his bow. Ho made two wild-oyed Jabs at Darnbrough's twisters , and stooping , rubbed a little mud on his hands , stood up like a real man , and then there was a crack like a pistol. It was his bat colliding with the ball ! Away It went , nipping the clover buds as it fled through the grass , way out to loft Hold among the carriages , and every last man on the bases galloped homo , Inks himself reifch- Ing third ! Gracious ! how the people did cheer. Then there was some moro fun. Willis , stimulated by this fine work , also lined out a single , and Mr. Writing Fluid came in , but Tit was thrown out by McGlono trying to make second on the throw in. Dambrough presented Canavan with a base , and Kearns came on with his second safe rap. Then Andrews went to flrst on four wild ones , and the bases were again full. "Bring'om in , Jool" cried a fun from the bleachers , as Walsh stopped to the pluto. And Walsh did It. It was a corker for three bases , and a second end time in the inning thrco men cuino homo. What n shout there was at that I Dave Kowo was as glum as a clam. Dambrough next hit Cleveland with the ball and Walsh ran homo with the eighth run on Moran's out ut first. That was all , but goodness knows It was enough. The Dcnvcrs never lost heart , however , and on a single hit und a conglomeration of bases on balls , passed balls and wild pitches , gathered in a couple of moro runs them selves. In the third Kennedy wont into the box for Denver , nnd was immediately greeted by a tremendous homo run drive to the center field fence by that boy Canavan. A couple of whitewashes followed for each. But In the sixth the visitors , on a two-bag ger , un error and a single , scored another brace of tallies , and in the seventh actually tied the score , The spectators were silent and gloomy , but they were speedily revived , however , for III the eighth tlio Omahas did some more pretty hitting nna wont to the front again with three runs In the majority. Andrews got his base on balls , and Walsh and Cleveland followed with two suckers and a single , and the game was won 1 Denver added tholr cloven tli and last tally to their score in their half , ' < as the ninth was u blank for both. Henderson had a hftrd'gamo to umpire , but did it well. " .I . This afternoon gomil/and see the Andrews family have u lot of > fuu with the Cowboys. The score. ' - ' U OMAHA.

Three murders in little ever n woolc , nml till the outcome ot domestic jeal ousy ! whtit do lending-clergymen say ? Their vlowa were solicited bv n Now York Journal reporter. The lov. T. Do Witt Tulmngo wild : "J don't think tlio crimes of our largo cities nro increasing , considering Iho In- cronso in population. In olden times , when n crime was committed it took months or years to find it out ; now , through the nctlvo scrutiny of the news paper fraternity nil these outrages promptly como to observation. While wo hear of cases of domestic in fidelity wo must ramombor tlmt where wo hoar ol ono such case there tire thous ands of huppy homos of which nothing is said. said."So "So far ns these enscs of violence nro concerned , " lr. ) Tnlimtgo went on , "pistol und dirk never corrupt anything. In no case is the taking of life justiliablo except in solf-dofonse. Knife und sword may bo necessary in barbaric society , but where wo have laws und olllcors ready to execute them there is no excuse for Inking hitman lifo. 'Whoro violence is used it only pro tracts the disturbance. The law is at last appealed to when it ought to have been at the very first appealed to. "Many of tlicso despornto troubles arise from tlio fact that people lutvo around tjiem firearms.OlllcorH of the law or people living on the borders of civilization may bo right in carrying liro-ni'msbut a young man or an old man who in our peaceful sUitu of society cur ries 11 pistol is a cowardly puppy. " Standing up and looking llko an athlete - leto , the reverend goutlomuu continued : "God has given to every healthy man two weapons , and those are his two lists , and there are no weapons so .quickly loaded or unloaded. They are the only kinds of weapons that a man needs in these latitudes and thcso times. " In a moro tender tone Dr. Talmngo went on : "Thoro cannot bo too much emphasis placed in our time upon the solemnity of tlio marriage relation. One-half the woes of today como from the fact that there is so little appreciation of marriage riago as a divine institution , and people do not appreciate ) sufficiently the fact that the relation is to bo entered into only after the most careful considera tion. "People used to laugh at Martin Far- quhar Tupper becaubo ho said that people ple ought to make it a matter of prayer before they entered into the marriage relation. [ think Tupper was right and if there is anything on earth about which a man or woman ought _ to pray it is the question of a lifetime copartner ship. " The * . Rov. Dr. Robert Collyor , pastor of the church of the Messiah , said : "The most sacred thing is marriago. There is nothing bo clobo and true if it is a true marriage. When the tie is broken it opens the way to any violence. A man esteems the honor of his wife greater than his own , and so tlio wife esteems tlio honor of her husband. "Thcro is nothing beyond that. The dishonor of one's wife or husband is far worse than the sctibo of one's own dis- lionor , so wo need not wonder that crime s the result in so very many instances. " Dr. Collyor paused in thought and then went on : "I should bo inclined to say that this disaster never comes to a true wedded Ifo. It would bo simply impossible as I look nt it ; but men and women rush into marriiigo und usually their reasons for the stop are founded in lust and not in love. " "A good poet says that all true love is alent with reverence as heavenly light is jlent with heavenly blue. So wo have ; o see to it that a true love should ix > tlio beginning of all. 'Then : t will bo the beginning of all down to the golden wedding down to Jio day of death and onward into icavon , where there is no marrying or giving in marriage , but where inch and women are as the angels of God : " Dr. John Hall , pastor of the Fifth Avenue Presbyterian church , said : "When men and women are without God's truth they commit acts of which crime in its darkest hue becomes the consequence. Agnostics who are guilty of infidelity fear nothing but the legal Dunlshmont that follows detection. They lave no fear of the wrath of God. " Having this fear of the law alone at icart men and women yield to tompta- , lon , Dr. Hall thinks , in proportion to < ho hope of escape from dibcovery. " 'Others have sinned and have not jeen found out , ' they go on saying to .homsclves , " continued Dr. Hall , " "until " there comes a time when almost all re straint is cast aside. It is when this atato of feeling is reached that the coin- nunity is startled by the disclosure of a earful crime when they learn once nero that a murder has resulted from the black sin of infidelity. " Dr. Morgan Dix , rector of Trinity church , is busy preparing for his do- mrturc for Europe. "I cannot discuss the subject now , " he said , "but I should bo surprised If it were it-oven that marital inunorayty is iu- a-casing. " TIlO 711111 III tllO ISllHllCS.
