WASHINGTON. Sept. 25.-The officials of
the customs service have made an impor-
tant change in the regulations governing
what is known as Immediate transporta-
ton goods. Under the law goods
intended for certain interior ports OF the
United States may be billed sent to
their destination without examination at
the port OF arrival Under the new reguia-
tions the importer may change the destina-

that the limit had probably been reached

amount about even. While the amount of
money paid for pensions will not be mater
tally different from that OF past years il
appears that there has been added to the
pension rolls during the year about thou
sand names in excess of those that have
dropped out, 50 there has been an increase
instead of a decrease. There have been
great many outstanding pension claims ad-
justed during the year and that accounts
for the large increase. The year has not
been very fatal to pensioners the death

whether the woman had been granted a

Thomas and Mrs. Oakley had been

kept on the clerk of the courts office
was futile one.
The record shows that the pair went
before Justice of the Peace II. o. Rob-

plication for license. Thomas gave
his age as GO years, and Mrs. Oakley
as Sc. He had been married twice be-
fore; his first wife died on July s, 1884,
and he was granted a divorce from his
second wife on July G, 1894. The hus-
