John II. Strong, a former soldier, aged
sixty-three years, and Mrs. Mary Il. ROD

three. and who has been married twice
before. called at the residence Of Rev.

united in the holy bonds OF matrimony,
says to-day's Washington Post.
They gave the above ages TO the minis
ter. and the woman told OF her FORMER
matrimonial ventures. Vt the CITY hdll'
however, the record shows that a license
was granted to individuals or tho same
names. but the mans age is given as tnir-
ty-two and the woman as twenty-five
and both are recorded as colored people.
The officiating minister's return was
duly made n recorded In the DOCK OF
licenses but there IS a wide variance be-
tween the description given by Rev. Mt.
Kelly and that which appears upon the
application for the license.
There is nothing upon the race OF me
license which authorizes the minister
To unite the couple. however, that would
enlighten as to what was
given the license clerk.
Thursday afternoon a man giving the
name Of John III. Strong, called az me
City Hall. He was accompanied by a
woman, whose allure anu plushiiS cH,'n9
suggested that she was a prospective
bride. The couple applied for a license.
1t was apparent that the man was OF
foreign birth. as he spoke the English
language with difficulty.
Being unable 10 satisfy the clerk as 10
his naturalization. a license was refused.
Shortly afterward a colored man.. giving
the name OF Eugene Mercer. called and
applied for a marriage license for John
III. Strong and Mary T.. Robinson. The
name Strong reminded the clerk OF the
visit of the former applicant who was re-
fused a license, and he asked Mercer as
TO the color Of the persons who were TO
be married. He replied that both were
colored. taking oath TO that effect. He
also gave the ages as thirty-two and
twenty-five years respectively. and swore
TO that as well. The license was issued.
and later return was made by Rev. Mr..
Kelly, as already said.
The colored man did not accompany the
twain to the parsonage and he has been
lost sight of.

taken to our repeated whistling, I waa
about to go forward myself to the Sig

A New

A pavement used in Vienna consists
Of granulAted cork mixed with mineral
asphalt and other cohesive substances,
compressed into blocks of suitable size
and form. Among the numerous adj
vantages set forth In its behalf are
cleanliness, noiselessness, durability,
elasticity, freedom from shpperiness,
whether wet or dry, and moderate cost.
Unlike wood, too, 1t Is n~on-absorbent,
and consequently inodorous. 1t pres
ents the minimum resistance to trac-
ton, and, being elastic under passing
loads, does away with the vibration
caused by heavy teamdng. The blocks
are embedded in tar, and rest upon q
concrete base six inches thick. When
taken up for examination, they have
exhibited, when compared with new
ones, q reduced thickness by wear Of
less than ~one-eighth inch-this in the
case Of q section Of a London street
leading to the Great Eastern Railway
station, subjected to continuous heavy
traffic, the blocks having been In use
nearly two years.
