LIKE THE CEREMONY.

A Kansas City Couple Remarry Every
Year.
Just before Probate Judge Herr closed
his Office the other night he was paid a
visit by very strange couple. The Wis
itors were middle aged man and wo-
man, fairly we'll dressed and very good
looking.
The man asked the judge i6 he would
issue them marriage license and per-
form the ceremony. 1t is needless to say
that the judge answered in the affirma-
tive. The man gave his name as G. G.
Hopkins, and his companion answered
to the name Of Lillian Hopkins.
"Are you related to each other?" in
quired the judge.
Slightly" responded the visitor.
"We are man and wife,"
Judge Herr naturally asked him his
reason for being married again, and the
stranger related very remarkable
story. He stated that they were mar
ried five years ago in the city Of Chicago
and have celebrated their wedding an
niversary each year by getting remar-
ried.
'tMy wife and entered into an agree
ment," said he, "when we were first
united in the holy bonds of wedlock, to
the effect that at the expiration Of the
first year our marriage should become
void, and if we wanted to live together
longer we should get married again.
Our adventure with Cupid has proved
happy one to both, and for five con-
secutive years we have lived together
and have been married each year."
Judge Herr was rendered almost
speechless by the strangers story, and,
after much deliberation, refused to mar
ry them, as he was in doubt as to
whether or not he had the power7to do
30. Hopkins talked intelligently and
did not have the appearance Of a
"crank. kansas City Journal.

The German trade with the United
States has assumed enormous proper

the Germans are prudently considering
where they can turn for it should the

a small proportion as it is, and Roumania

1t is quite evident that the Westbrook
and Harrison and the Gorham extension
electric hallway bills are giving the rail-
road committee of the legislature great
deal OF concern of mind. Hearings were
had on both of them several weeks ago,
put as yet no report has appeared. In
stead yesterdays report of the legislature
contained the draft of general Law
which according to member of the
railroad committee was meant to cover
just such cases as these. AS we have
not seen the text of this proposed new
lay it is impossible to express any in
telllgent opinion about it, 1t is very late
in the session however, and the chance
OF the passage of such an important
measure as this appears to be, requiring
as it must through examination and
debate, seems exceedingly small One
can hardly help having a suspicion,
therefore, that this bill is projected into
the House at this late hour, with little
real hope or expectation of it's passage
and that it may be taken advantage of
for neglecting to make any report at
all on Westbrook and Harrison aud Cor.
ham extension bills or delaying a report
until it is too late to act upon fit. 1t
looks like a case where the ommittee had
encountered powerful Influences for and
against the bills, and were hunting after
some road leading to the woods.
