  stones office yesterday for marriage license. Court Commissioner Me Donald was occupying the judicial seat and was on the point of issuing the license. But he thought it would be unfair to Probate Judge Grouse, who
 makes a speciality of marriage licenses. He offered, though, to perform the | ceremony. The applicant said he mad already engaged priest for that of i flee. He finally went to the probate judges office, but as his prospective | bride is minor he was sent back after the written consent of her parents. A colored preacher Of Phoenix is | in Prescott now trying to break up | the drinking habit by raising the price | beyond the reach of all except the | wealthiest citizens This is done by increasing the demand, and a demand l is increased by an extraordinary con- sumption. The result of this plan of l campaign is that this self-sacrificing | parson has been as full as a goat for | week. He was met on Sundy by a Phoenix man who knew him and who l asked him how he worked himself l into that condition. Its the funniest | thing yo' ever see, bcss," replied the
 preacher ''Yo' know I'se easy tickled an they keeps me laughin' an when
 I laugh they pours whisky down my froat."
 The Republican some time ago pub lished a story Of man of African de- scent who went to the probate judges office, he said, to have a bet decided, 1 He had bet that colored man could not lawfully marry a Mexican woman He was told that he had won the
 wager, whereupon he looked sad Under cross questioning he admitted that 1 there had been no such bet, but that he was in love with Mexican girl
 and desired to marry her If the law
 interposed no objection. It was | learned with some surprise at the pro bate judges office yesterday that the
 marriage had actually taken place.
 The colored man is not very highly
 colored and might in half light be
 mistaken for a Mexican. He got
 justice of the peace who was deceived
 regarding his race to apply for the l license. According to the law the
 marriage is null and void.
