How virginia Couple Ready to Marry
Came Near Being Badly Situated.

HOW Nirginin couple Ready to marrY
Came Near Being Badly Situated.
A curious point in Virginia's laws is seen
by recent event which trauspired In Fair
fax county, on the shores Of the Potomac.
The daughter Of one Of the aristocratic Vir-
Pinians living there was to be married, aud
IL was particular wish Of her father that n
certain Baptist minister OF this city, who
was bis old friend, should perform the cere-
mony The minister was invited down,
and he found the old mansion where the
nuptlals were 10 be celebrated In gala dress.
The preparations were made with true
southern llberallty, and the guests had ar
rived from many miles about and throngod
the house. The license was produced and
the orchestra stationed in the hall opened
with the wedding march When the minis
Ter came forward the fact OF his non.resi-
dence IN the tate, which had not been men
TONED previously, was dwelt upon, and sew
eral better Informed citizens OF the Old
Dominion put their beads together, and
earnest whispering was heard. When the
bridal party had entered and had taken
their places before the non resi-
dent minister the group Of whisperers
quietly informed the father OF the BRIDE
elect that, according to Virglnia's laws. no
minister resident outside the limits Of the
state could legally perform the marriage
service therein except by special permits
sion Of the state authorities This caused
sudden halt in the proceedings, but hap
PLY among the invited guests was an Epls-
copal minister who was the rector Of Pohick
church Of that county. The Baptist ser.
vice was superseded by that OF the Epis-
copal church, and soon the young couple
were made happy. The lesson has worked
ifs good effect In helping to make Fairfax
county Virginans familiar with a law
which, II violated, might produce an en-
barrassng condition Of affairs.

GRAND ARMY oFruE REPUBLIC.

Commandor-in-CIie Fairchiids Re-
ceivinE Many Responses TO His APP
peal.
Gen. Lucius Fairchilds, COMMANDMENT
chief Of the Grand Army Of the Republic,
is at the Riggs House, having returned from
his visit to Charleston. II is evident from
the generals statements that he looked at
the situation there as practical man with
cut regard to sentiment, and his Judgment
10 that there are a great many small prop
erty owners who have no means with which
to repair their houses. Some of the latter
have the partitions and plasterlng shaken
down, others the gables and roofs shattered,
and In others the houses are twisted out OF
shape and partially fallen. These people
need practical aid at once TO secure cover
for their children and themselves. The con-
dition Of affairs exists both with white and
colored. Provisions and things Of house,
hold garb are not scarce, laborers get good
pay, and there is work for all.
Gen. Fairchllds says that there
is real need, such as warrants
the spontaneity with which the people
have responded, and business people know
that he has not been misled. The posts Of
the Grand Army have already responded to
the call he made and are coming forward
with handsome sums, several kilograms
covering considerable amounts having been
received by him while here. The Grand
Army certainly should be proud OF their
commander, who, with the heart OF
Christian and the cool, thinking practical
ity Of q man Of large affairs, Will lead the
order In the roads OF that practiced large
charity which is so eminent Of that remark

History of tho umhreIln.

A little over q hundred years ago the first
umbrella was seen in England. II was huge
structure that did not admit of being closed,
and so massive was the iron frame that sup
ported the covering that the owner, Benjamin
Franklin. found II hard work TO carry 1t, and
more so, as he was the laughing stock of the
pedestrians Of Fleet street, the then principal
ihoIoughfnre of London. What change
few years have made. The invention of hol.
low frames have not only lightened the UNI
brella, but made II stronger, and silk is now
made of apparently the frailcst texture, but
withal very strong. The latest improvement
In the stick Is TO have 1t hollow, and steel
ned runs the entire length, which renders 1t
rigid and yet light In weight. Finding that
the silk which was necessary to construct the
cheap umbrellas was liable TO crack in wear,
an ingenious foreigner has concocted mixture
ofsilR and WOOL which, while It possesses tho
merit Of cheapness, is found as durable as tho
best silk, and as neat and compact In appear
nnce. Such is "Gloria" Cloth, and the agents
here having advertised a special sale of um.
brellas, visit to the Palais Royal is In order.

SCHOOL DAYS CONFETTI.
The Increase of Applicants 1000 in
Excess of Last Year.

ASACeHb VI Lhbb hBhFs
Yesterday was another busy day at Super
intendent Powell's office. To-day will be
the last day for issuing tickets of admission
to the public schools. Before a pupil can
be entered certain questions are asked, and
parents and guardians will do well to iu-
form themselves, in order to send their
children to the proper school district. The
following are the questions that are asked |:
]. ls the applicant within the ages of u
and II yearsP
2. Is the applicant pupil OF any public
school, and, II so, why Is application made
for change?
8. Has the applicant been heretofore q
pupil OF any of the public schools, and, IL
so, what was the cause for leayingY
4. Has any other application been made
for an admission or transfer ticket, and, II
so, why was 1t not granted?
B. Is the parent or guardian n bona flde
citizen Of Washington
No pupil can be admitted to public
school who has not furnished a certificate
from a p Iysician that he or she has been
vaecinated or otherwise protected from
smallpox.
The total number in the white and colored
schools OF the District will be over 10000,
which is about 1000 increase over the
number enrolled last year. There are
twenty-seven over last year. To accommo-
date this large number OF scholars there are
only seventy.seven school buildings. As
the present buildings were insufficient last
year, they will now be more so, and in
order to properly accommodate all, the
commissioners are preparing to build two
new eight-room buildings In the eastern
part Of the city, but II is not probable that
they Will be ready for use this year.
