Y. M. G. A, Mock Trial.

The case of State of Single blessedness
VS.. Cornelius Pepper will be tried before
Judge Copper at the Y. M. q. A hall to-
night. The number of bachelors in said
state has been increasing so rapidly that
the state legislature has found it neces-
sary to impose tax on all unmarried
men over thirty-fve years of age whose
annual incomes equal or exceed $780, I'M
less it appears that theyIhave proposed to
at least three women and have been re-
fused, and all bachelors who have pro-
posed as aforesaid are required under
this law to either make oath to that
effect before the assessors, or pay the
tax. Mr.. Pepper was called upon to
either swear or pay, but he absolutely
refused to do either, although he claimed
to be exempt under this statute. Conse-
equently the assessors have sued him,
but he is evidently determined to fight
the case to the bitter end, and has inti-
mated his intention to have the three wo-
men to whom he proposed IN court to-
night to help him prove his case. SEN
sational developments are expected. AL
bachelors should be especially interested
in this case and seats in the front row
will be reserved for the bald headed men.
The court sits at z. As p. m. All who at
tend will be fined ten cents or be COM
mitted for contempt.
