Just little, then naStlly retreat, either to
gather courage or satisfy themselves that
they would be happy together, and after
these consultations they would blushingly
enter.
A Shame to Sidetrack Them.
There were some girls so pretty that it
seemed a shame to withdraw them so early
in life from the great heart-chasing race
There were others who from appear
ances were Withdrawn just in time
TO save them from being dis
tanced. In all the gathering there
was not one couple which could have been
cassed as foreigners. This is explained by
the fact that most foreigners are Catholics,
and as it is now the season of Advent none
of their religion are allowed to marry.
One of the most peculiar things was the
number of minors. Nearly four out of
every fifth uninitiated bride was under age.
In five cases guardians had to be appointed
to keep the marriage wheel from clogging.
There was only one case where the
bridegroom had not the money.
Poor fellow, he chose a dollar prize,
and onlv had so cents. The permit was
coppers. When that crowd of prospective
fathers and mothers gathered in the waiting
room they seemed unusually sad. This
look vanished when with their license in
hand the couples arm in arm smilingly left
the room.
Judge" Hieber's court was held just in
side the railing and there was crowd
around his desk all the time. Although
countless useless questions were asked him,
the "Judge" wore q smile through it all.
Judge" Gray dealt out his licenses well

Cupid has won great battle, and to-day
he gives thanks for his triumphs of yester-
day. In this city and surrounding towns
144 hearts will be made to beat as one be-
fore Thanksgiving of '92 is past This is
the greatest wedding day of the year. His
tory proves this, and it also evidences
there is growing desire among matrimonl-
ally inclined persons to have their marriage
VOWS recorded on this event of a nations
thanksgiving.
Captain Heiber's marriage license dis
pensary was the most interesting place in
the Court House yesterday. Many a heart
throbbed with Joy as its owner received the
little slip of white paper which legally
gave the privilege of entering into the mar
riage state. These licenses, which allowed
lite of bliss, could be bought from so cents
up to g 80, but the 50-cent one was insured
to give just as much marital happiness as
the one costing FIVE times that amount.
The rush of yesterday to secure these
permits has only been exceeded once in
the marriage license history of Allie
gheny county. Comparative figures in
this show that in 1885 35 licenses were

The Democratic Party to Blame.
The small number in the first year is
credited to the fact that but few people
knew the Office would be closed on Thanks
giving. Registrar Conner accounts for
the small decrease this year over last in
this wise: ''The election had considerable
to do. with it We have heard good deal
OF talk about people being averse to going
into new enterprises until after they learn
what the policy of the Democratic party is
to be-"
Captain Hieber had to establish another
court yesterday, and Cyrus Gray was put
on the bench. Together the two Judges"
handled the applicants nicely. The mar
riage license rooms are divided by rail-
ing, and it is outside of the fence the vic
Tins wait their turn. Yesterday afternoon
the ante-room was crowded from soon after
dinner until the Office closed. There was
queer mixture of people gathered there.
The rich and the poor. the ugly and the
pretty iostled each other in their desire to
get the coveted prizes Timidity was plen-

with majesty and pomp a shabbily-
attired colored couple foated in.
Under the arm of the husband to-day was
box and on the lid in large letters was
printed "From the Partisan Dress Com
pany." After some little time the groom
elect was handed his license with 80
cents, sir, please" The fellow fshed around
in his pocket for some time and when he
brought it out it held an old wallet. Many
straps were undone and so coppers were
dropped in front of "Judge" Hieber. With
greater majesty than marked their enter
ing, the couple vanished to the music OF
suppressed snickers

Colonel Culyer Submits New Design for

Colonel Culyer, the landscape engineer at
Schenley Park, submitted a plan to Chief
BigeIow yesterday of the eastern portion OF
the park. The Forbes street entrance is
shown, and with numerous graceful curves
and windings labyrinth of roadways,
drives and bride paths are located in vast
network. In the vicinity of the children s
playground plot for music stand. drink

shown, and ''refeetory," where it is ex-
pected to establish an extensive lunch
room.
Positions for statues and general outline
for rows of shade trees are designated. On
paper the whole plan is very pretty.
Through it all some five miles OF drives and
walks are shown.

AT THE H0rELs

Travellers Will Hunt Homes and Homo
Folks Will Go to Hotels.
All the hotels in Pittsburg will observe
Thanksgiving Day with the usual good din

be but few strangers with u.s." Chief Clerk
Crosby, of the Anderson, said yesterday.
''As rule all our patrons 60 home, or at
least. go away on such occasions, but we
have already received notice that many
Pittsburg and Allegheny people will visit
the different hotels for their Thanksgiving
dinner. Our people get tired of hotel cook

the day. The home folks seem equally
anxious for change and they want to get
to some pleasant hotel for dinner.
'The day will likely be quiet and pleasant
with the Pittsburg hotels" Mr.. Crosby
said.

amputated at the thighs. She has been un-
conscious since Tuesday and will probably
die in that state.

STAND BY THE ASSOCIATION.

1t will not for moment be assumed that
the merchants who signed the Sage letter
are consciously acting in the interests of the
Southern Pacific Company. There is prob
ably an honest difference Of opinion as to
the best course to pursue. Certain mer-
chants who ara members of the association
and Others who have not joined it think that
the objects Of the association can be accom-
pllshed more speedily by taking what the
Southern Pacific will give them than by
attempting to force the company to make
concessions. These members might we'll
ask themselves how IL happens that the
Southern Pacific is holding out an idea Of
better rates than have been given. Is not
the company more reasonable in the face Of
opposition than when opposition has dis
appeared? few months ago nothing
could be got out of the company except
declaration that rates were as low as the
company could afford without impairing its
ability TO meet its obligations. In fact, the
statement has been made that if a reduction
OF rates was forced the company would
make up the loss by reducing the wages of
employees. The company now sees a chance
to set the interi or against the city This Is
the plan it has worked upon ever since the

ENGLISH FARMERS.

Fifteen hundred delegates representing
one hundred agricultural associations met
in London on Wednesday to consider the
agricultural situation. These English farm
ers afford the finest example in modern
times of large class of the population
which has survived the process of being
ground between the upper and neither mill
stone. The upper milestone is the land
owner whose annual rent demand is equal
20 the purchase of equally as good land in
California. The neither milestone is the
manufacturer who declares that if farmers
products are protected the markets of the
world Will slip from his grasp. The Eng
lish farmer has not discovered yet that he
has no considerable voice in the British
Government He asks for protection and is
told that protection 10 him will be ruin to
the manufacturer; he asks for free silver
coinage and is told that the profits of money
will be decreased with an increase in the
volume of money. But the British farmer
is a patient sort Of man.

PARTING SHOTS.

Several English journals have INDUCED in
the luxury Of parting shot at President
Harrison. 1t is quite natural that they
should do so. President Harrison's policy
has not been considered with especial re-
gard to English interests. The protection
policy has removed certain industries from
England to the United States and il con-
tinued would have done more of the same
kind Of work. There is all through Eng
land feeling of rejoicing that American
markets are again to be open to English
products. The English press did not exult
much over the election of Cleveland, pre-
ferring apparently TO give expression to
their views by parting shots at Cleveland's
successor. No great harm has yet been
done. The comments of British journals
have doubtless afforded them some pleasure
and have not hurt Harrison in the least.

SWAPPING PRODUCTS.

A free-trade contemporary cannot see the
advantage of an excess of exports over i'm
ports. IL likens the sale of $500, 000 600
worth of American products in excess Of
purchases to the transaction Of the man who
snapped $1,000 horse for an $500 wagon.
Our contemporary ignores such factors in
trade as cash balances. Ii we sell $780,
100000 worth of goods and buy $500, 000, 900,
there is q cash balance Of 500, 00o, 600 COM
ing TO US. Nations buy and sell but do not
barter. A cash value is put upon sales and
also upon purchases. The $500, coo, 600
comes In one form and another. Nothing
but insolvency on tue part of purchasers can
prevent it, 1t may rot come in the shape
or cash. but 1t may come as settlement on
account OF American money taken abroad
by the soDs and daughters of Americans
who lived at home and piled up money for
their heirs TO throw away. Castles in Spain

OAKLAND NON-PARTISANS.

The Non Partisans Of Oakland are con.
fronted with the question which the Nom
Partisans of San Francisco considered and
solved. The question is whether the Mu-
nicipal League shall nominate ticket fer
itself or wait until the national parties
have he'd conventions and indorse the best
men on the two tickets. The argument in
favor CT the former course is that non
partisanism in municipal affairs is priu-
cple rather than an expedient. 1t aims at
business control of municipal government.
An official nominated by party convention
and Endorsed by the NoD-Partisans owes
allegiance to his party. he looks to the
bosses OF his party for a denomination. He
cannot become a thorough Non Partisan
without giving up his political ambition for
the reason that the Non Partsans as an
organization do not make original nomina-
tious
