TWO WIVES
One Gi~en by the Church and One by
tho State.

One Given by the Church and One by
tho State.
Italy enjoys at the present moment
the distinction Of being the only civ
ilized country in Europe where tits pos
sible to commit bigamy without expos
ing ones self to any danger Of punish
ment, says the New York Tribune
Since the constitution of the kingdom
in 1s70theauthodties have insisted that
only civil marriage is legally bind
ing. On the other hand, the church re-
fuses TO recognize this form Of matri-
monial union as valid, and requires the
faithful to go through the religious
service, venting its displeasareon those
who seek any civil sanction to their alli-
ance. The government has repeatedly
tried to secure the enactment of law
providing for the punishment of any
priest who should have performed the
religious marriage service without the
latter having been preceded by civil
ceremony. But the vast body of the
people in Italy are Catholic to the core
and would not tolerate any measure
which had the appearance Of encroach'
ing, on the rights of the church. The
result Is that to-day large numbers Of
INSCRIPTIONS people take advantage Of
the condition Of affairs to have two
wives, one in the eyes of the church and
the other in the eyes of the civil au
thorities. And they can do this without
the slightest danger Of being called t.
account or of being punished.

An Important Omission.

At prayer meeting recently held in
one of the churches not a. thousand
miles from Utica there was manifested
desire on the part of some of the par
Elephants to praise themselves. One
man, says the Utica Observer, even went
back to the days of his boyhood to
show how good he had been even at
that time. He said that one day, while
