THEY yIOLdTE THE LdW.
Most Ministers are Very Careless About
Marriage Certificates.

Few people have any idea of how many
preachers are ViolatOrs Of the law or TINS
commonwealth. | refer TO the duties OF
the minister concerning the law That re-
quires them 20 return marriage licenses
to the court clerk after they have per-
formed the ceremony. About three
fourths OF the divines are entirely igno-
rant Of this law, but that does not do
away with the fact that they are amena-
bic TO the punishment attached by the law
TO it's infringement I'm this respect.
The following Is taken from section
22sg OF the Code. which is so persistently
violated by preachers:
..It shall be the duty OF every minister
or other person celebrating such mar
rage. within two months after TIE same
has been celebrated to return such
license and certificate OF the clerk, to-
gether with his own certificate OF the
time and place at which the said mar
riage was celebrated. TO the clerk who
issued the license
In connection with the foregoing section
Is the following:
section 2g32 How bond Of minister for
felted-If any minister who shall give
bond I'm order TO his being authorized TO
celebrate marriages IN this State. fail to
comply with section ODD the condition OF
such bond shall be deemed to be thereby
broke. and he shall also be subject to
the penalty hereinafter pescrlbed for
such failure"
70 show the Importance OF ministers
complying with the law. the following
case is a good illustration:
A well-known married lady IN this city
became involved last week I'm a civil
suit. In the course OF q talk with her
lawyer she was questioned az to her con-
dition. whether single or married, and
stated that she had entered the matrimo-
NAL state some years previous. She was
told that she would have to prove this to
win her suit. IL developed that the minis
ter who performed the ceremony had
neglected TO return tho marriage certii-
cate. The preacher was sought out at
once and the certificate. and license de-
manded. He made a search for the pa
pers, having "A very clear recollection OF
the ceremony, but after oyerhauling. a
collection OF licenses and certificates.
which should have been In the possession
OF the court clerks who issued them and
the couples 10 whom they were issued, he
was unable TO produce the desired papers.
Then he remembered that In moving from
one residence TO another his papers had
been very much tossed about and some
OF them had doubtless been lost Thus
was caused no little trouble and confu-
sion.
Some ministers make returns every six
months and neglect their duty the rest
OF the year. Some make returns when
they have a certain number of certificates
others when they feel like Il. and there
are still others who never make any. How
would these divines feel In they were
brought up In court and fined?

When the reading of the report had
been concluded. Bishop Galloway who Is
presiding over the conference, was intro
duced TO the ROsebuds The Bishop ex-
pressed his qualification at being present
on the cC,asiOn OF the celebration and
congratulated the children on the great
good accomplished by them. He said
such gatherings OF the young people but
accentuated In his mind the change CT

children, and elaborated this thought in
his usual eloquent and earnest manner.
In referring 10 the Sunday-school cause
and the great work that was being done
in this nursey Of the Church, Bishop Gal
loway said while the world honored Rob
ert Rake as the founder OF the Sabbath
school Il was nevertheless a fact that

Identified with Christian child life from
the beginning. and while the speaker was
not satisfied OF the absence of all skepti-
csm about the conversion OF children,
yet he believed the day was fast ap-
awaken TO ITS relation to the children
and the grand work they can accom-
plish for Christ. The Bishop spoke OF
Christs ministry as being youthful
ministry: Of the self-sacrihcing natures
OF Joseph and Jonathan In their youth;
Of the effective preaching and earnest
purpose Of the youthful ministers OF the
Church who in their unselhshness. ex-
ercise young, wholesome faith in a
God mighty TO save. Bishop Galloway
concluded his fine address by saying that
i'm the young peoples societies lie the en-
thusasm, the hope of the Church. and
invoked the blessings OF God upon the
Rosebuds and all kindred organizations.

Pension Decisions.

Several rulings in pension cases were
promulgated at the Interior Department
yesterday. In a case where dependence
was the issue. Assistant Sec1 etary Rey-
polds holds that dependence upon a SOL
der at the date of his death relates to
the needs, wants and necessities of the
father, mother or minor brother or sister,
not to the ability of the son to furnish sup
port. The action of the pension bureau is
approved In the case of the widow of
Florida cavalryman. The rule is laid down
that where an investigation is instituted
to ascertain whether a fraud has been per-
petrated upon the government in procur-
not entitled to notice of the time and place

CUBANS ARE MUCH PLEASED
The Demand for Settlement of the Mora
Claim.
They Declare That 1t VIII Help the
InsurSent Cause-Marti Belfcv-
ed to DC Alive.

PHILADELPHIA, June 21.-The news
that Secretary Olney had instructed the
American minister at Madrid to notify
the Spanish government that the money
due on the Mora claim would have to be
promptly paid over has caused the pro-
foundest qualification to the Cuban colony
in this city.
One Of the leaders said today: 1--WE ac-
cepted the order Of the State Department
that no overt act against Spain must be
committed by Americans or others upon
American soil very complacently, as we
have always endeavored to so conduct our
selves as to disarm complaint on that score
1t has been our care to avoid entangiing
the United States, the home of our adop-
ton, with Spain, and the fact that we have
been very circunSpect is best shown by the
fact that, with all the watchfulness of her
agents in this country, there have been SO
few complaints with any substantial basis
made against in this particular, and Sec
retary Olney's demand that Spain shall pay
over the million and a half dollars due on
the Mora claim is one that Spain cannot
construe into an act that is done to favor
us, though it is most timely in our inter-
est"
How do you people expect to profit by
the order?" he was asked.
Because" was the reply, Spain Is al
ready pressed to the utmost financially,
and every dollar she is forced to take or
withhold from the suppression of the fight
in Cuba would directly help us in any case,
but there is ground for the belief that Spain
will play her dilatory game again and
that in that case the United States govern
ment will seize Havana, as she would be
justined in doing. and hold 1t until Spain
pays the amount due. If it comes to pass.
and it is certainly within the bounds of
probability, the moral effect on affairs
in Cuba will be such that Spain can never
again resume control of the island.
The revolution has been from the start
a winning one. for you do not get half the
truth here Even apparently well settled
a thing as the death of Joseph Mar:i. our
president is not at all an absolute truth.
On the contrary, unless some private ad-
vices we have are altogether misleading,
Mari is alive and well and is on his way
to this country. In fact many of the best
informed leaders here will be deeply dis
appointed if Joseph Marti does not in per-
son address his fellow-countrymen in this
vicinity in the course of the next week or
ten days"

Robert G.. Cunningham Shoots Him
self in the Head.
MENTAL WORRY EVIDENTLY TEE CAUSE
He Was Afraid of the Ordeal Of a
Civil Service Examination.
DETAILS OF THE DEE D

Word was received here today that Rob-
ert G. Cunningham. temporary clerk in
the office of the auditor for the Post Office
Department. committed suicide this morn
ing by shooting himself in the head near
his home, in Falls Church, Va. The news
of his death was brought to the city by his
son, who said that it happened while his
father was his way to the office. He
had started to drive in to Washington in
his buggy, as usual, and soon after leaving
his home had occasion to cross a small
stream.
A Suddenly Formed Purpose.
Getting out to loosen the reins of his
horse so that the animal might get drink,
he evidently formed the sudden purpose of
ending his life then and there. Suiting
the action to the thought he sent a pistol
ball crashing through his brains and died
almost Immediately. His body was found
by neighbors passing along the road, and
was taken home to his distressed family.
Cunningham had been unfortunate in
Office and had brooded over the situation to
a point where he could endure it no longer.
He entered the government service as
clerk in the Treasury Department in 1864,
and rose in grade until he became a 81 400
clerk in the office of the commissioner Of
customs. When that office was abolished
by the Dockery law last fall he was trans
auditors office at reduced salary. The
work on which he was engaged gave out
and he managed to obtain a place the
temporary roll of the Office of the auditor
for the Post Office Department at a salary
Of $40 per annum.
Highly Regarded by His SupcriOrs.
He was regarded as an excellent clerk
and his superiors endeavored to secure lbs
promotion. Auditor Baldwin, who knew
his worth had secured his designation to a
81 eco vacancy in his office but his appoint
ment depended on his passing a civil serv-
ice examination. 1t was this examination
that worried him.
1t was to have taken place today, and
Mr.. Cunningham was on his way to the
city when he evidently concluded that he
could not stand the ordeal, and :ook his
life in preference. The examination en-
crossed all his thoughts of late, and he
had frequently said that he did not think
it necessary to subject a clerk of his good
record OF thirty years in the higher grades
to an examination to his fitness for
such subordinate position.
Mr.. Cunningham was born in Scotland,
hut had lived in Virginia the best part of
his life. He was about forty-four years of
age, and leaves a wife and several chill
Gren.
