There came to Washington the 10th OF
this month young couple from Virginia
for the purpose of being married. The
young people were Mr.. Edwin D. Wills of
Lynchburg, Va, and Miss Bessie ]. Kim
hier of Roanoke, Va. Immediately after
securing the necessary license they set out
to find minister. They inquired of a
passing woman where they could find the
pastor of nearby church.N She directed
them to his residence. when it was learned
that he was cut of the city. His wife.
however, called IN a ministerial friend.
VINO united the young people.
The officiating minister failed, It is
claimed, to give the young people the GER

one the law commands to be filed within
ten days from the performance of the
marriage.
The young people state that the minis.

ly mail certificate of the marriage to
the brides father at Roanoke, which he
failed to do.
Unfortunately. the young people neg
lected to take the names or addresses of
either the officiating minister or witne sses.
and are unable to locate the place of their
marriage. They are stopping at 2O6 F
street. The ten days within which the

HUB SMITH IS HOME.
He Says Washington is the Finest
City in the Whole Wide World.

He Says Washington is the Finest
City in the Whole Wide World.
MI. Hubbard T. Smith, more Familiarity
known and esteemed by the vast ma jority
of Washington people as Hub Smith,
has returned from Europe. and has been
assigred to important duties in the State
Department in connection with the con-
sular bureau. Mr.. Smith left Washington
a couple OF years ago, having been APP
pointed to responsible position in the
consular service, and during the greater
petition of his stay abroad has been sta
toned in Constantinople. Intimacy with
continentalism and constant exposure to
the peculiar influences of European life,
which sometimes have such Il transform
ing effect upon young and susceptible
Americans, have not affected Hub in
any sense whatever. He is the same
genial, urbane. broad-minded, witty, good
fellow that he was when he packed his
portmanteau and babe farewell to Wash
ington to the tune of Listen to My Tale of
Woe" He comes back with a greater ap-
probation of Washington and of its
beauties and its attractions than he ever
had before, and does not hesitate to say
that he would sooner be peanut stand
in the national capital of the United States
than a mosque with forty-seven minarets
in the city of Constantinople. 1t will be
very gratifying to Mr.. Smiths friends to
be informed that he does not propose to
either write book or to lecture on 1.-The
Eastern Question or What 1 Saw in
Yewrup.

August ~, 1897.
The gates to the grounds of the Prince
Georges county fair were thrown open
this morning for the fourth and last day
of its annual meeting. Tie rays of the
sun were felt in all their power throughout
the day, but notwithstanding the intense
heat the attendance was fully as large as
that Of the last day at any previous fair.
The races began at l o'clock, with Judges
]. P. Ryon, DIR. r. S. Hill and Senator T. f.
Greacen in the stand. the latter acting as
starter. and VIM. G. Brook, timer.
The first race was a half-nile trotting,
best two In three. only four starting. Lilly
Dwyer, sold the favorite, won; Sable Rock
was second. and Little Kate third.
The second race, a mile run, best two
In three heats. was won by Avon, ridden
Hubbard third. DR.. Jones was favori:e
selling at 3 to 8.
The third was for the Consolation parse
of 500. This and the mule race were add
race throughout, Rhymster winning just a
neck ahead Of Belle Of the Grove, both
horses selling at even money.
The fourth race was the mule race. -Four
entries went to the post. poor start was
had, leaving Ben Lassing in the rear; soon
the little fellow caught up and finally ran
third to Domino, who was beaten out OF
first place by Hastings.
The fifth race was the steeplechase
which was won by Consolation, McFonso
capturing second money and Harry Har-
wood third. Lotion was left at post and
Hazlet fell over a hurdle, throwing her
rider. but not hurting him.
The ball given by the young gentlemen
last evening was a grand success. 1t was
held in the new Masonic Hall, which was
crowded to overlooking. The hall was
beautifully decorated with bunting flowers
and evergreens. The Wilson Post Band OF
Baltimore furnished the music.

Smooth Sidewalks.

The sidewalks on the east side of Con-
necticut avenue north of K street and on
several of the intersecting streets running
east of that thoroughfare are being i'm
proved by the laying of granolithic pave
ments. and the same smooth surfaces are
being put down on the sidewalks of New
York avenue between 4th and 9Th streets,
and in several other sections of the city.
The comfort and pleasure which these
smooth streets have given in the last few
years since their introduction here has
caused general demand for the introduce
ton all over the city, and in the course of
few years 1t is possible that brick side
walks will be found only in a few remote
neighborhoods.

TRANSFER OF THE LIBRARY
Work Temporarily Delayed in Order That
Books May Be TiCketed.
About 2OO,OOO Books, Pamphlets and

to allow the assistants at the library to
ticket the books properly. The transferral

will again be brought into requisition. The
one on the east front of the Capitol was
captured this morning by a number of
small boys. who were amusing themselves
by starting at the top and sliding to the
bottom. They will be superseded next week
by the boxes Of books.
Altogether about 10000 books, pamphlets
and periodicals have been transferred from
the old quarters to the new ones. This
morning several of the metallic disks, in
cluded In the copyright matter used in
the music boxes. with the score cut into
them, were taken over. There Is 4 lot of
such stun to be moved including photo
graphs of celebrities on which copyrights

These life motion photos are preserved
with great care.
UnfaflfnE Attraction.
The new library building continues 20 be
an unfafling attraction for visitors to the
Capitol. as. Notwithstanding the present
''off season." the place is visited daily by an
average of thousand persons. The great
est interest is manifested in everything per-
tanning to the addition to the magnificent
public buildings of Washington. Books of
reference containing information on the
subject of the library are seen in the
hands of nearly every one. The class of
visitors, the watchmen say, is above that
visiting any other of the government build
lngs. The habit of ejecting tobacco spit on
the marble floors has not been practiS ed
there. as 1t frequently is in many of the
buildings.

persons visiting the place seem to be pro-

CALLERS MUST STAND.
General wreckaEe of Comm sAiGner
ButterwOrth's Chairs.

The Commissioner of patents has a hand
some and large office room. but today
there are but two or three chairs in it. and
they have been borrowed from adjoining
rooms. This poverty of chairs was brought
about during the investigation with the
charges against the firm of Wedderburn &
Company, when the lookers-on made them
selves so comfortable on the cane covered
settees and chairs that they broke through
the bottoms of all of them. Now the two
large settees and five chairs are in the re-
pair shop, and the commissioner is
forced to allow most of his visitors to
stand, which is not very good plan, for it
cuts many of their visits short.
