A host of friends are reserving sin cere congratulations for the beautiful bride and handsome groom. Baby Belles and Beaux in Abundance. Had Teddy R. been a casual butter- in at the bazar here yesterday his opinion respecting race suicide would have been subject to immediate revis ion. Amerlcus will have none of It, and she produced the goods yesterday to back up this assertion. It was tho occasion of the annual baby show, and the output of the twelvemonth bore indisputable evi dence that we do not coincide with the President regarding race diminu tion. For the babies were there, barrels of them, in best bib and tucker nnd each one a predicted prize winner. The bawl opened with entries for Exhibit A. vintage of 1907, one to six months old, and a full score constitu ted the lineup. The pink-cared, pug- nosed, pampered pets occupied the stage, and Just such galaxy of beauty hns never faced an audience. Then the judges went down the line la fairly good style. There were Messrs. J. C. Carter and E. H. Crawley, each tho head of a house full of his owji and pastmasters In sizing up the fine points of a youngster. The third Judge was Mr. Charles Parsons, whose experience thus far is limited to casual observa tion. Youth sits lightly upon Ills should ers, and he still wore his own hair.

He had, he declared, been guilty of perhaps every foliw of youth except that of judging a baby show, and never would It be bis fate. He congratulated the happy and xultant mothers of the dear and dain ty little prize winners, and poured balm upon the hearts of a hundred others who, though less fortunate, held their cherubs none the less dear just because three male beings could not distinguish merit. It was tile greatest baby show Am- crlcus has ever witnessed, and all were delighted—that is, most ail.

PHILADELPHIA, PA.. . ,ov. 26.— Vice Chancellor Learning, sitting In Camden yesterday, heard testimony in the suit of Martha Shaffer against her husband, Zachary Taylor Shaf fer, formerly a well known baseball player, for alimony. At tho close of the hearing he delivered nn opinion as to the status of the mother-in-law In the household and the duties of the husband toward the wife. It was apparent throughout the hearing that the trouble lay not much with the principals as with rel- atives-at-Iaw. Shaffer Insisted that he loved his wife and she told of her affection for him. "A wife is entitled to a home where she is mistress and without the pres ence of distasteful relatives of any kind," said the Court. "There Is manifestly no occasion for the wife to have any fear of bodily harm. "Where a mother-in-law Is distaste ful in a home she has no right to remain there. Neither Is the hus band required to supply quarters for tho wife's mother." The Vice Chancellor said that the case was one of the most remarkable of the kind he had ever known. There appeared to be interference on both sides. The husband says the trou ble is Jhe result of the Interference of ills wife's mother and the wife In sists that it Is due to the husband's mother and /amity. When the Court finished William T. Boyle, attorney for the defendant, said that his client de sired him to say that he was In ac cord with the decision of the Court and that he was ready to accept the terms of the decision and provide a home for his wife at once. Mrs. Shaffer did not Indicate that she approved of the decree.
