There is an ancient law in Rhode Is
land, which, however, is almost forgot
ten. requiring c%lersymen to take out a
license before officiating at marriages.
The other day Father O'Hare and Mr..
Stewart, the Episcopal rector of Au-
burn, went to the town clerk for this
license. At first the town clerk was
much puzzled what to do, as he had no
proper license blanks, but he finally got
over the difficulty, and the clergymen
departed. After they had got on a street
car they opened their licenses, aud each
was Mortified 10 find himself in the pos
session of a full tiedged second class
liquor license, with power to run a
liquor shop subject to all the privileges
and penalties Of the law. A closer in
spection Of the license, however. showed
that the words second class liquor Ii
cense." giving power to sell malt,
spirituous and Intoxicating liquors. at
retail or wholesale, had had a line
drawn through them, and instead of
the words Ito sell malt, spirituous and
Intoxicating liquors" were interlined
the words Ito perform marriages." and
SO forth.
Each clergyman made . wry face ~
he contemplated his battered license,
and each silently vowed to exhibit II
in case Of dire peril Of . $50 fine.
both blessed the ingenuity Of the
official that could transform q document
which portends D much evil for the
race, according to their views. into an
instrument with power to give such
happiness. New York Tribune.

The action OF the Commissioners ycstcr-

seven hours every day except Sundays and
legal holidays.
