THE Overland Monthly for Sep

THE Overland Monthly for Sep
tember remembers Admission Day
by careful paper on The Veter-
ans of the Mexican War" in which
briefly but completely the history
of the events that brought about
the admission of California is re-
he2rsed and many interesting anec-
dotes by veterans of the war who
now reside in California are related.
Biographical notes and portraits of
a number of these old heroes are
added. Mr.. Wildman, the editor,
continues his Well-worn Trails
series, by a charming descriptive
article on the Geysers. The "boom"
that is beginning in San Joaquin
County and Stockton, its metropolis,
because of the railroad and canal
building now going on there, is
helped along by two articles, Stock
ton, the Coming Chicago of the
West Coast" by w. c. Ramsey,
and Irrigation in the San Joaquin"
bv Charles S. Greene, associate ed
itor of the Overland. Beautiful pic
lures enforce the text of these ar
ticles, which are in line with the
great amount of constructive work
the Overland is doing for the state
and coast In fiction the number
is exceptionally strong. Horace
Annesley VacheIl's continued story,
'The Quicksands of Pactolus,"
grows in interest and promises to
be the best exposition of California
society yet given in fiction. Arthur
McEwen contributes striking short
story in the same line, showing up
in his incisive way the holloWness
of some business men that pose as
leading citizens, and the business
methods of certain publications of
San Francisco. Albert Bigelow
Paine has story telling of the trials
of a dear Boston old maid in her
efforts at philanthropy. E. Lincoln
Kellogg relates a story that throws
much light on Chinese character
Helen NJ. Carpenter writes pretty
sketch of a dark-s skinned Darby
and Joan, an can Every Day
Martyr" is touching story of the
! life of the rancher's wife, or rather
in this case other death, by a. Nor
gan Hays. Poems and reviews and
all the editorial departments are
well sustained.

BLACK FOLKS MUST MARRY.
The Anti-POlyGamy Law Enforced i'm
Washington.

Washington, May 2S.-"Cake walks and
crap-shooting parties" are not popular in
middle class colored society in Washing
ton just now. Getting married free Of cost
is the latest fad with that set at the pres
ent writing. The local authorities have
entered upon vigorous enforcement of
the Edmunds act. which prohibits people
living together as man and wife, who have
neglected to go through the formalities of
legal marriage. This law was framed to
stamp out polygamy and kindred offences
in Utah. The law was subsequently
amended to make il applicable to all the
territories. including the District of Co
lumbia. For more than week past the
police have been filling the police court
daily with offenders against this law, the
large majority of them being colored peo-
pie. Many of the victims, when brought
into court, declared they did not have the
price of the marriage license-one dollar
nor the fee for the minister On several
occasions the hat has been passed among
the lawyers in court and the ceremony
then and there performed Finally the
presiding judge declared that he was tired
of having the court business interfered
with by these frequent marriages and he
threatened to enforce the law to its fullest
extent in the uture.
A FEW days ago, a public spirited citizen,
an ex-congressman, came forward and vol
unteered to furnish the necessary marriage
licenses, the parson and a place for the
ceremony to be performed, for all who de-
sired to marry. and thus legalize their Off
spring. The glad tidings spread rapidly
throughout the impecunious colored popu-
lation, and the improvised matrimonial
market is doing thriving business daily.
room has been fitted up in the top story
of a local newspaper office, and colored
minister has been engaged to come there
at certain hours and tic the nuptial knot
for all who desire to take ADVANTAGE of the
opportunity to be legally married
The scenes in and around the matrimon-
ial mart are convulsing to the throng of
spectators who are willing to witness the
events for the fun of the thing There
stands an ebony hued minister who is pro-
vided with an almost inexhaustible supply
of marriage licenses for all Corners, black
or white The bulk of the business is done
after four or five O'Clock in the afternoon
when the participants have finished their
days work, If they are industriousIy in

in appearance at the matrimonial bureau
would make excellent subjects for charac-
ter studies and some of the Incidents might
form the ground work for very amusing
minstrel sketches. Tim Murphy, of Texas

spectators yesterday, when a large number

seriously contemplating working out a
farce on the subject
Among the candidates for matrimonial
honors yesterday evening were Wise
Brown and Lizzie Smith. Robert Lee
and Victoria Queen wore distinguished
names. but very plebeian garments Some
OF the bridal parties were decked out in
al the colors Of the rainbow, with a lit
de dash of orange blossoms on the side.
John Logan and Alice Jackson looked as
though they had walked many miles to
legalize their union. and they were about
TO join a group and repeat on the min
lister" so pleased were they with the cere-
mony. Reuben Holmes and Mamie Thomp-
son had evidently been coached" for the
ceremony, for they went through the per-
Torrance with less embarrassment and
awkwardness than the average couple.
When the rush became fast and furious
the parson did not splice" one couple at
a time, but he directed them In punches OF
four and five to stand up and take their
marriage VOWS.
Thus far nine-tenths of these marriages
have been among colored people, many Of
whom have lived together in an unmarried
state for years. They are hurrying from
the alleyways and the dark corners Of
this city. to take advantage of this op-
pOrtunity to start life anew and in legal
manner. It is the leading topic Of Cos
sip among the colOred citizens and the i'm
provised Temple Of MatrimOny' is a
popular resort for the study Of human

WHY ROOSEVELT RESIGNED.
The Movement TO Change the Rules
of the Senate.

Washington, May 27.-Since the retire.
ment of Mr.. Theodore Roosevelt from the
civil service commission, that once famous
branch of the public service is seldom re-
ferred to in the newspapers. When Mr..
Roosevelt decided to go to New York and
accept the presidency of the police com
mission, he informed his personal friends
in this city that the civil service commits
sion had about completed its work. so far
as he was concerned. and he was going
to New York to have some fun. AS he
expressed 1t, New York is now the politi-
cal storm center, and thrive on cyclones
and hurricanes" His friends in Washing
ton are watching his course in New York
with interest and amusement for he is
surely in the midst of the local storms
prevailing constantly in that city. He
likes excitement and his courage almost
reaches the bounds Of audacity. When
not engaged in a combat with those who
differ with him on the subject of re
form" police or civil service, he is unhap-
py, and because Of the muzzle thrown over
