The Ago For Marrying.

"If things keep on this way, we won't have any grandfattors and grandmothers in 50 years, observed man who had been running his eyes along the list of marriage licenses.
 Look here, in this list of 34 licenses all but two of tho men afe more than 22 years old, and all but two'of the women are above IS. It would seem that the av- craze age of groom these days is 80, while the bride is but two or three years younger
 He ran over the ages and found that tho average age of the groom was 2S and of the bride 27.
 "Now, what does that meana" he con- tinued "A man does not marry until he is 30. If he has sons and daughters, they will not reach tho marrying age until he is at ledst 60, and if he hopes to see his grandchildren grow up he must live to be at least 80 or 90
 ''In the country where was born people married young, and it wasn't uncommon to have grandmotbeys who were less than 40 years old. But if 80 is to be the mar rying ago ip Chloago we will at least have to get along without reat.grandfathers. " Chicago Record.

Went to Japan, but Finally Arrived in
 Honolulu-No Action on It.
 San Francisco, May 9,-United Press correspondence from Honolulu, May ?, says: Yesterday, after a meeting of the executive and advisory council, MT Hatch, minister of foreign affairs, stated that on the 30th ultimo MT. Willis called on him and said he had received letter from Secretary of State Gresham, dated February 21, last, which he said had been sent to Japan by mistake intimating that MT. Thurston is no longer person ally acceptable to the administration at Washington as Hawaiian minister. The ground is that MT. Thurston had allowed a reporter of the press to read private letters to MT. Thurston from Honolulu concerning the conditions and senti- ments there, portions of which was made public These letters also contained crit icisms upon the policy of the admins tration towards Hawaii, which were not published, but came to the knowledge of Gresham.
 The communication was discussed by the cabinet at the morning session and a meeting of the council was called at o'clock in the afternoon The session was a short one and no definite action was taken on the subject.

 Tonight the company will give bene- fit performance complimentary to Bir- mingham lodge No. S5, Knights of Pyth- ias, and on the occasion will present that beautiful, romantic and historical dra ma, Damon and Pythias." The play is one of the grandest ever conceived, and is historically correct; and from it's teaching of love, friendship and coni- dence has sprung one of the grandest secret orders of the present time. The uniformed divisions and Birmingham lodge No. S5 will attend in bodies. and many other sir knights will also lend their presence to the occasion.
