Marriage Certificate Returns.
To the Editor of The Evening Star:


The present marriage law went into effect
June 13. 1896. From that date to December
81, 1897. the records of the Supreme Court
of the District of Columbia show that 1888
marriage licenses were issued. OF these
licenses there are 24S to which no return
has been made by the clergyman other
person officiating. required by law, I'M
der penalty of a fine of from $50 10 $50.
By return" is meant the report to the
clerk, showing that the ceremony was
performed. AS very few persons back out
of an engagement after the license has
been issued, it is fair to presume that ALL
or nearly all, of the 24S unreturned licenses
represent violations of the law, and IL the
| minimum fine were collected in each case
the revenue derived would amount TO
Sl2,4 100. CROUCH to pay for a new Police
Court building. which is badly needed.
No argument is needed to show how i'm
portaut ii is TO be able to obtain record
evidence Of marriage. Few complaints
have been made Oh account of violations
of the license law, either because the law
is not generally understood, or because per-
sons interested do not take the trouble 10
ascertain whether the records in their own
cases are complete, or because they hesi-
tate to accuse clersymen of being law
breakers.
Prior to June Is. 1885, there was no
penalty whatever for failure to return
marriage license, and the records of that
period show that some ministers do not
| always obey the law and practice what
they preach"
The minister who considers that his duty
is entirely performed when he inspec.s the
license and pockets the fee will continue
to furnish grIst for the divorce mill by
marrying every strange couple that comes
along.
a man under twenty-one years of age or
woman under eighteen cannot marry
without the consent of the father or guard
ian. Under the present law the mothers
opinion is Of no consequence unless the
father is dead. The theory of the law is
that a married woman should have no
opinion contrary to that of her husband
an excellent idea II II could be enforced
A simple calculation shows that the mar
rage licenses are now in the ratio Of is
returned to l not returned. Superstitious
people will bear In mind that this result
of the marriage law of 1896 could hardly
have been due TO the free silver campaign
of that year Nor should we be influenced
by another coincidence, which is that, al
lowing for the ravages of death and
divorce, the silver weddings outnumber the
gold weddings IS to 1, but Bryan is not
responsible for that, either.

Restoring OIL Paintings.

Probably in no other practical branch of
art has there been such marked improve
ment recently than in that which is de-
voted TO the renovation and rehabilitat ton
of old oil paintings. Some of the master
pieces of the world have been, as well
known, reclaimed from the grave Of neglect
and restored to a good semblance of their
original beauty by the crude methods in
use when the canvases were discovered.
Should similar discoveries be made today
1t would be comparatively easy to restore
the color and brightness to their original
condition. Scores of people have old paint
ings. and particularly portraits of their
ancestors, that, by reason Of time. neglect,
abuse or accident, have lost all semblance
to their original selves. To such a visit
to Mr.. McCresry, at Veerhonrs Art Gal
lery, on street, will prove advisable. Mr..
McCreary Is peculiarly expert and success
ful in the restoration of old pictures such
as those described, and there are some re-
markable specimens of his work to be seen
at yeerhon's. A Bougereau of excellent
quality. which had become very much ne
elected. and whose colors and effects were
nearly entirely obscured. Is an especially
good object lesson to illustrate how such
works can be restored to all their original
charm and beauty.
