Laws Pertaining Thereto Recommends,
by the Episcopal Convention.


CHICAGO, Oct Is The new canon in mar.
riage and divorce recommended for adoption
to the Episcopal convention by the commit
tee on canons of the house of deputies. for
bids the marriage by any priest of the church
of any person under Is years of age unless
with the certified consent of their parents or
guardians; declares the only cause for
divorce to be adultry, the guilty party being
prohibited from marrying again during the

but violation may be condoned If the person
goes back to single life and exhibits proper
repentance; forbids clandestine marriages,
and requires all marriages to be performed
in church before witnesses, where it is posi-
bic; severe penalties are provided for clergy
men who violate the canon.

board of missions, and it was resolved that a
fund of 81 ,0O0, 900 be raised for that purpose,

Alligator Skin.

A sign in Broadway trunk and

ton of many people passing by is
placed over q medium-sized valise, and
reads: Genuine English alligator
skim" A clerk inside said that the
sign did not mean that the leather of
the bag was from an English alligator,
but that the skin of an American alli-
gator had been tanned and made up in
England, and the bag imported thence
to meet the demands of the trade that
wants the British stamp on every
thing.
cit is not so good, or, at best, no
better than an American made valise of
the best quality, and it is a deal more
expensive. The alligator leather in
dustry is new in this country as
compared with other fine leather
manufactures. but it is great in
dustry and employs the best skill. 1t
is older here than in England. The first
use of alligator leather was about
eighteen years ago, when a Massachu-
sets shoemaker turned some into
shoes. They were not particularly
good shoes, because the proper way of
tanning the leather was not under
