THE wRONc IIcENcE

NEW YORK, July 6-People who have
lived in cities where marriage licenses are
required often have great difficulty in
understanding the system in vogue here
They can not realize that the services of a
minister or alderman are all that is neces-
sary when the parties have reached the
proper age A German, whose knowledge
of the English language is limited, wished
to get married not long ago, and being
under the impression. that license was
necessary he started out to secure one. He
wandered around the postoffice and the
various municipal and county buildings
for an hour or two, unable to find the
place where licenses were to be had
Finally he managed to explain to police
man that he wanted license, although he
was unable TO make it clear what kind of
one he was after. The officer directed
him to the place where dog licenses are
issued, and the happy suitor paid his fee
and received the precious paper. That
evening the German and his blushing
altianced went to the house of a minister
to have thesGordian knot tied. When the
bridegroom proudly handed over his dog
license the worthy pastor could hardly
perform the ceremony for suppressed
laughter. The couple, however, were none
the less firmly married because the paper
allowed the husband to keep dog instead
Of to wed wife.

JEWISH RABBlS.

BALTIMORE, July 6.-The deliberations
of the central conference Of American
rabbis were concluded tonight. The meet
ing next year will be held in New York.
The committee on prayer book was eX-
cused 1t had prepared no report, and a
committee was appointed that was willing
to do some work.
In the discussion on the prayer book,
President Wise said that one was wanted
that would contain the best elements of
advanced thought. 1t should not contain
the doctrine of the personal coming Of
Christ nor the resurrection of the body.
Nobody believed in those doctrines now.
The conference refused to recommend the
creation Of southern and western rabbini-
cal conferences.

THE WEEK IN WALL STREET.

NEW YORK, July 6.-Henry Clews, in
his weekly financial circular, among other
things, says:
"It is very many years since we have
witnessed such diSorganlzed condition OF
financial relations between this country
and Europe as has recently developed
Such is the distrust prevailing at the
foreign centers that numerous bills hereto
fore considered good drawn here Oh Euro
pean houses have bscome, in large meas
ure, Unacceptable; and the consequent
scarcity of negotiable exchange cOmpelS a
continuation of the shipment of gold long
after the balance of our accounts with the
outside world has ceased to rule against
us. A condition ofthings more calculated
TO check business and to enforce liquida-
tion in foreign commerce could hardly be
conceived. Even If there were no real
reason for this distrust towards bills of
exchange, this sort OF discrimination is
calculated to cripple importers in ways
that can hardly fail to disturb confidence
and produce embarrassments, which is
dangerous treatment under present condi-
tions. 1t is undoubtedly gratifying
evidence of strength that we have been
able, without any signs of suffering,
to so long endure the withdrawal
of the European banking bal
ances which are usually allowed
to rest here, and to pay them off in cash
bills become unstable because of the dis
trust directed against the foreign houses
on whom they are drawn, we encounter a
kind of gold drain of a much more serious
nature; and yet nearly all the June ship
ments, amounting to nearly twenty mil
lions, have been of this forced character.
European bankers may deem it wise to
take in sail in every direction, but they
cannot be ignorant that to impose q
violent contraction upon these important
foreign trade credits must preclpitate
more serious dangers than they are now
seeking to avoid. OF course. Europe has
to provide against the effects of coming
general deficient harvests, with the
natural bad results to internal trade; and
the controlling bankers may deem it
prudent to discourage general imports so
as to keep the exports of gold that must
be made in purchase of the unusual
American surplus of breadstuffs. Such
purpose implies a bad dilemma: but its
significance to the United States is far
less serious than it is to Europe. To the
rest of the world, it means depression and
sacrifice; to us, it signifies the purchase of
our imports at low prices and the sale of
our food exports at high prices"

KEGS for the outlet as long as herds are

speech was listened to with intense inter
est bv the multtudes He has been the
friend of Oklahoma and to him this sec
tion owes debt it can never repay. He

commonwealth of Iowa, pass that he might
help Oklahoma in its need

THE GALVESTON STORM.

GALVESTON. Tex, July 6.-The storm
which ragged here Saturday night and Sun
dap eliminated last night A driving
wind accompanied by heavy rain caused
many of the lower portions of the city to
become practically inundated. All the
street railway service has been abandoned.
The worst damage was done along the
gulf beach, where the terrific force of the
surf washed away almost everything with
in reach. The break water in front of the
Beach hotel was completely destroyed.
At East End the damage was heavy In
many instances the occupants were COM
PEELED to ascend to the second floor to
avoid the water. The tide was the high
est known for years. Several vessels broke
their moorings and got away. Much un-
easiness is felt for the steamer Franklin,
which is due from the banana fields of
Nicaragua. Throughout the city houses
were blown down, and several people were
injured. It was the most destructive storm
seen in Galveston for years, and the dam
age will amount to thousands of dollars.

KANSAS CITY, No, July "a special
from Emporia, Kan, says that at the sun
day morning services in the various
churches of the city announcements was
made of a temperance lecture TO be deliv-
cred in the afternoon at the tabernacle by
Mrs. Emery, of Michigan, the Alliance
speaker. Quite large crowd was in at
tendance and was aStonished to hear but
very little on the subject Of temperance,
but instead long harangue on woman ;
suffrage and Peoples party politics Sen
Rtor PETER aud Congressman Jerry Simp-
son were present on the platform and the
former followed Mrs Emery in a short
speech ip which be stated that he indorsed
,he lady in every point she made or even
suggested, and ended his talk by stating
that il he had overlooked or had failed TO
indorse anything she had suggested as a
needed reform, he wished to be reminded
of it and he would yet do so.
Jerry Simpson was then loudly called
for, although it had been announced that
he declined 10 speak on the Sabbath, and
he was induced to respond. He fell into
the lead made by PETER, and also indorsed
everything said by Mrs Emery. During
the political address made by the lady
nearly, if not quite, half of the audience
got up and left.

CHICAGO RAlL WAY GOSSIP.

CHICAGO, July Cit is expected that at
the meeting of the Western Passenger as
sociation tomorrow the members will be
forced, after a stormy discussion to meet
the issue as presented by the Chicago and
Alton railroad, and decide whether that
company or Chairman Finley shall be Sus-
tained. The chairman'S ruling has prac-
tically placed the Alton outside OF the as
sOciation, and no representative of that
road will be present at the meeting, unless
especially invited by vote of the mem
bers. Whether such an invitation will be
extended remains TO be seen. 1t may be
that the whole matter will eventually be
referred to the executive officers of the
various roads for settlement, and in that
event the presidents will no doubt make
strong effort to force the Alton into the
Western Traffic association.
At the meeting of the advisory board OF
the Western Traffic association next week
several appealed cases of the Atchison,
Topeka and Santa Fe will be considered
among these is the application for divis-
ion of the dressed meat and provision
traffic from the Missouri river to Chicago,
the complaint being that the Chicago and
Alton is securing the business. 1t is also
charged by the Atchison that the Chicago,
St. Paul and Kansas City road is getting
more live stock traffic than it is entitled to.
Railroad officials are convinced that
they are on the verge of a season of pros
perlty. New wheat is already moving,
fifty cars being reported for arrival here
and 200 being due at st. Louis at the same
time. 1t is predicted that before the end
of the month there will be no idle cars on
any of the western roads
