Why People Forbid the Banns.


say sensational event as forbidding
the banns takes place in church,
the members of the congregation
rapid y develop an intense curiosity
as to the reasons for such an OK
treme proceeding.
And it may always be assumed
that there are strong grounds for
this extraordinary step, seeing that
in nine cases out of ten the forbid
ding party is woman, who, unless
impelled by force of circumstance,
could never nerve herself for such a
trying ordeal.
Parents very wisely object to their
children assuming matrimonial re-
sponsiblties in tender years. One
Sunday, not long since, poor wo.
man walked no less than eleven
miles to Blackburn church, in
order to enter public protest
against the marriage OF her daughter,
a girl Of fifteen. She was much dis
tressed on learning from the court
eous vicar that the banns had been
published for the last time at the
usual morning service that day; but
on his assuring her that he would
make note OF her objection, and
refuse to marry the couple, she
seemed to be profoundly grateful,
and cheerfully departed, her object
practically achieved.
Still more substantial were the
grounds upon which a Bath lady
rose in church and object TO the
marriage of her son, on the occasion
of the third time of asking. She
stated her objections there and then
no doubt much to the qualification
OF the congregation-and from what
she said it appeared that the pros
pective bridegroom, like the preco-
cous damsel in the former instance,
was a minor, and the other "high
contracting party" married woman
with several childrenl
AS the wedding was to have taken
place at the conclusion of the SER
vice, it was evident the pair did not
intend to let the grass grow under
their feet, but, to quote an old say
ing, "There is many slip between
the banns and the bonds" The
ceremony was postponed so that the
alleged impediments could be in
vestigated.
A similar scene was enacted some
twelve months ago in a Lancashire
country church. The vicar had Just
read out the banns OF local couple,
when young woman rose from her
seat aud walked down the central
aisle to the chancel steps, where she
turned and faced the congregation,
calling out in loud, clear voice,
81 object to this" She was request
ed by the minister to see him in the
vestry at the close OF the service,
when doubtless the validity of her
objection was duly considered.
Whether she was Tilted girl, who
based her objection on prior claim
to the bridegroom's hand aud heart,
the writer is unable to say; but a
young lady in the west of England
considered that sufficient ground
on which to forbid the banns be-
tween her former lover and IAN art
full minx"-to quote her words-who
had contrived to lure him from her.
She had certainly been cruelty
deserted by her tickle intended; but
whilst keenly sympathizing with
her, the clergyman was compelled to
say that the circumstance was not
one which could in any way prevent
the contemplated union from taking
place, - Ift-BitS.

CONCERNING THE REPORT IN AID
VANCE.

Two or three of the New York news
papers are insisting that the report of the
commission engaged in investigating the
conduct of the war will not be fair one
because their reporters are not permitted
10 have tables in the hail where the in
vestigation is being conducted so they can
see the witnesses and make such COM
ments on the questions and replies and the
manner of the witnesses as may
seem to them advisable. There is no doubt
they could find many opportunities for
adverse comment il the privilege they
seek were granted them. But is il not
better that the public should be left free
to form its own conclusions from the testi-
mony?
The public is entitled to the facts and
that is what it is getting. The news asso-
Citations have tables in the hail where the
Investigation is being conducted, and a
full synopsis of the stenographic report
of the testimony is furnished to all the
reporters who want 1t. 1t is not charged
that any Of the facts are suppressed. 1t
would not be polite to make a charge of
that kind, because it would not be true
There is no ground for saying that the
commission is not DESTROYS of getting at
the facts. The commission is composed of
men from different parts of the country
and of the two great political parties. 1t
is certain that the Democrats are not anx-

THE ROOSEVELT ROUND ROBIN.

Col. Roosevelt had a little authority for
the round robin sent from Santiago re-
specting the condition OF the troops there.
At the time it was published the very
general understanding was that he had
acted wholly without authority, and con-
sequently the opinion was freely express
ed that he ought to be court martaled.
Last Sunday, in a talk with some OF
his Michigan friends at Kalamazoo, Gen.
Shafter explained the origin of the round
robin. He said that he had received or
ders from the war department TO move
his troops to higher ground and wipe out
the fever. He and his principal officers
knew that that could not
be done. He therefore request
ed his chief officers to meet
him and discuss the question of the best
course to pursue under the circumstances.
Col. Roosevelt was one of those who was
present Some one suggested that each
officer put his views in writing to be fur
nished the war department. The sugges-
ton was agreed to. Col. Roosevelt asked
permission of Gen. Shafter TO send what
he had written to the New York papers
Gen. Shafter neither granted nor withheld
permission. He said to him, however
that he would have to be personally re-
sponsible for whatever he gave out for
publication Col Roosevelt was ready TO
take the responsibility. and the famous
round robin went to the newspapers.
1t is practically certain that it was the
round robin that influenced the war de-
partment to hasten the departure of the
Santiago troops from Cuba. 1t produced
sensation throughout the country, and
caused influences to be brought to bear
upon the President and Secretary of War
that would have otherwise remained dor
mant. Col. Roosevelt is undoubtedly en-
titled to whatever credit is attached 10
the getting of the troops out of Santiago
quickly after the fall of that city
And because of the round robin and Il
rather spicy letter which Col. Roosevelt
tiago there is the most intense curiosity
10 know what Col Roosevelt said in his
official report of the Santiago campaign.
The reports of the generals have been
given to the public, but the report of no
one of the colonies has been seen yet,
except by the war department officials.
The public, however, doesn't care for any
other colonels report than Roose-
velt's. 1t has been calling loud and often
for that, but the war department Doesn't
make It public. 1t is believed to be rich
and racy reading. That is why it is want
ed
