The Rhode Island authorities
have discovered that the new law
requiring all persons performing
the marriage ceremony to register
yearly is identical with one enacted
70 years ago, which has long been
g dead letter. The authorities
state there has not been a legal
marriage in Rhode Island for 80
years and viii apply TO the legis
lature to have the acts OF all un-
licensed clergymen made valid.
According to this theory if the
sexton was required to register
yearly and he failed to comply
with the law all the stifs that he.
has deposited in the bone yard,
would not be legally buried. Mar
riage is q voluntary act on the part
Of the contracting parties and isl
binding without the solemna ton
Of Judge or priest. The right to
make marriage contracts is inner
ent in the constitution Of human
nature. A Law to prohibit mar
riage would be unconstitutional
and void. Consequently a law
which in any way interferes with |
human rights and privileges Is |

POLICE IN THE TREASURY
Supervisors Instruct the Chief
to Protect the Public
Funds.
Attorney Creswell's Opinion of the
Extension of Green and Lyon
Streets.

The need of the City treasury for con-
slant police protection in view of the re-
cent warning that raid was intended
was recognized by the Board of Super
visors yesterday when resolution direct
ing the Chief of Police to detail patrol
man to watch the treasury during business
hours was passed unanimously. Super
visors Taylor, Hobbs and Benjamin, COM
posing the Finance Committee, recon-
mended the passage of the resolution,
which read as follows:
WHEREAS, The present condition of the City
and County treasury is such that some pre-
cautionary safeguards should be thrown around
it. both as protection for it's officials and for
the citizens doing business within its Office
therefore
RESOLVED, That the Chief of Police be and is
hereby requested and directed to detail po-
lice officer, whose duty shall be to perform
service in the Treasurer's Office and be con-
stantly in attendance therein during business
hours.
Supervisor Hughes introduced resolu-
ton that was carried instructing the Su-
perintendent of Streets to prevent the un-
lawful use of the sidewalks by corporal tons
and individuals, and to cause the arrest of
persons violating the orders of the board
in this matter.
Mr. Hughes explained his reasons for in
PRODUCING the resolution by saying that

rial Than Was at First
Intended.
The Committee Will Endeavor to Pro.

City Will Be Proud.

The agitation of the Stevenson monu-
ment project, following the action of the
Supervisors in rejecting the first design
that was submitted to them, is likely to
result III better memorial than was at
first proposed.
Few OF the San Francisco residents,
even among those interested in art and
literature, seem to have known much
about the matter when the Supervisors
were asked to sanction the placing of a
fountain at the central point of Portsmouth
square.
The San Francisco contributors TO the
fund were outnumbered by the Eastern
people who sent donations to the commit
tee, and it is not believed that such would
have been the case had there been more
general understanding of the plan. Sub
scription blanks were sent out by the COM
mittee, composed of Mrs. Virgil Williams,
Horace G. Platt and Bruce Porter, and it
was announced that the subscriptions
would be received by Mr.. Pc-ter, W. d.

cular letters, one of which is shown here

LOOK OUT FOR ANDREE,
He May Bring Back News of the
North Pole From the
Clouds.
The Geographical Society Will Meet
and Take Measures to Advise the
Northern Natives.

As Consul of Norway and Sweden Henry
Lund yesterday received an official COM
munication from the Swedish Minister at
Washington calling his attention to the
fact that Professor Andree would start in
his balloon in July next to attempt to
reach the north pole by that means. The
purpose of the communication was to ask
the good offices of Consul Lund in spread
ing the news northward. so as to apprise
the natives to be not only on the lookout
for the expedition, but should the descent
be made among them to treat the voyagers
kindly and render them what aid they
can.
Consul Lund Immediately sent copy Of
the communication to Professor George
Davidson, with notice that he would call
a meeting of the Geographical Society of
the Pacific, of which Consul Lund is presi-
dent.
The meeting OF the society will be held
on Thursday evening, and measures will
be taken for communicating with all the
settlements on the North Pacific Coast and
as far inland as possible.
Consul Lund is, naturally enough, very
much interested in the polar expedition of
his countrymen. Speaking of the matter
yesterday he said:
1T is unquestionably wise precaution
to advise the natives all around the Arctic
circle, so far as it is possible, concerning
the character Of this expedition. They are
we'll acquainted with the sight OF ships,
most of them, but if they saw ball oon
dropping down from the heavens they
would probably take the occupants for evil
The San Francisco call., 1896-03-03

spirits and kill them-although that is not
the direction, as we understand it, that
evil spirits come from. However, the far
northern belief about spirits may be re-
versed as most things are up there.
Russia, England and the United
States have been invited to cooperate with
Norway and Sweden, in so far as looking
out and taking care of the balloon voy-
ayers are concerned-these countries hav
ing possessions bordering on and within
the Arctic circle.
Professor Andree's experiment will OF
course attract the attention of the whole
world, as it will be the first attempt to
reach the pole by means of balloon-a
means that has been so much discussed
fer so many years.
Professor Andree is thoroughly sclen-
tific man, and his undertaking is not to be
classed with the claptrap sensational
efforts OF the average aeronaur seeking
advertising. / do not know enough about
his balloon to describe it, but l know
enough about him to be assured that DIS
enterprise is thoroughly we'll considered
and will go out fully equipped with
scientific and experienced men TO
make the most of what may be seen. The
air currents are to be depended upon, as
the currents OF the ocean were depended
upon by Nansen, to carry the balloon over
the pole. Photographic apparatus Will be
an important part of the equipment, ana
if the currents carry the voyagers as they
expect valuable lot of pictures will be
brought back. l am not scientific enough
to be able to say as to the air currents, Dut
no doubt Professor Andree has equally as
good authority for believing IN sustained
air current over the pole as Nansen hao
for his theory of the ocean current.
"The voyage will be undertaken IN } uIy,
at which time there is uninterrupted day
light in the far north and every advantage
for making observations. The Govern.
ment OF Sweden is backing the enterprise"
Speaking of the Nansen expedition and
the alleged report from Nansen Mr.. LuDd
said:
'.It is three years since Nansen left. He
was not expected to return before this
time. AS his countryman am interested
and anxious to hear that he is safe and
that he has made the discovery of the
pole-for his own and the honor Of the
country. But the reports come from such
widely separated parts-thousands of
miles of icebound regions lying between
that to me the story does not seem to hang
together. / am afraid it is not true. IS
to the Jeanette relics found in Green
land, upon which so much stress was laid
60 carry the theory of the ocean currents,
upon which Nansen depended, am still
convinced of their bona-fide character.
There can be no mistake about them. The
meeting of the Geographical Society called
for Thursday evening may be an interest
ing One.'

PREACHER BARTON.
He Deserts His Wife for Unknown Fields
OF Labor, Leaving Her Des-
fitute

REV" John D. Barton, a rowing
preacher, Gospel mission leader, Cos
pei Army officer and a very itinerant reli-
gious person in general, has deserted his
wife, leaving her destitute at 16 Dale street.
and has gone to fill pulpit unknown.
According to Mrs. Barton's fearful plant
he is carpenter and builder, but works
more at prayer ON the street corners and
telling what pious life has done for him
than at supporting his family. She mar
risd him in Portland five years ago, and
during that time he has been proving to
her that he was fit to wear the mantle of
Ananias. She says he took her money out
of her purse in her absence from the house,
took her $12 clock away and sold it for the
benefit OF the Gospel Mission cause, and
when he wrapped his ministerial robes
around him for new and unknown fields of
labor he took the bed-clothing from their
only bed.
If the poor woman's story contains a
fraction of truth, this preaching fraud
would seem a fit person to shun as some
thing unwhoiesome and unclean. He is
accompanied by his 16-year-old daughter
Lizzie and Mrs. Minnie Sole.

A petition from the Union for Practical
Progress asking that a special election be
called for the purpose of submitting to the
electors of the City the proposition OF
municipal ownership of water, gas and
electric light plants was referred to the
Finance Committee.
Property-owners on Cherry street, be-
tween California and Sacramento, sent in
a protest against the paving of that block,
that the work is not neces-
sary and that the value of the property
does not warrant the expenditure OF sucn
an amount of money as would be necessary
to do the job. The matter was referred to
the Street Committee.
A petition presented by owners of prop
erty on Haight street. between Steiner and
Pierce, asking that the block be accepted
