UNDER AeE-B. A., Oakland. Cal A youth
who has not attained his legal majority cannot
legally obtain license to allow him to marry
unless he obtains the consent of his parents or,
in the absence OF them, OF one who stands in
the stead of such. A stepfather or an aunt
would certainly have the right to step in in
such case and prevent the County Recorder
from issuing the license by representing the
fact that the applicant was not OF age.
Two HEIGHTs-F. J., City. New York City at
the Battery is FIVE feet above sea level, at the
City Hall thirty-six feet, at Cen tral Park plaza
Fitty-ninth and Fifth avenue AIS feet, at
Mount Morris 100 feet, at Central Park circle
rs 5 feet, at Boulevard and One Hundred and
Eighteenth street 135 feet, and at Washington
Bridge road and One Hundred and Eighty
fourth street 200 feet If, by "The Bluffs"

4SO ieet above the sea level.
THE EMANUEL CHURCH,. NJ. N. Harring-
ton, Wash. The Emmanuel Church, in which
Blanche Lamont and Minnie Williams were
murdered, and the Metropolitan Temple, in
front of which Isaac S. Kalloch- was shot by
Charles de Young, are not the same. The
| church is on Bartlett street, near Twenty-frst,
Mission district, and the temple is at the north
| east corner of Fifth and Jessie streets The
mistake has no doubt arisen from the fact that
| at one time the son OF the late Mayor was pas
tor OF the Emmanuel Church.
