TOO MUCH MARRYING.

A new state law, which goes into ef-
feet July 1, viii cut short the chances
of many who desire to avoid publicity
in marriage. Only those Justices of the
peace specially designated for the pur-
pose by the governor will be allowed to
perform the ceremony. Others who have
the same right are the several minis
te'rs Of the gospel and various officials,
such as City Clerk and Assistant City
Clerk Towne, Col. T. S. Johnson, Mai
William T. Harlow, George H. Harlow,
Fred H. Chamberlain, Maj. f. 7. Ray
mond and Henry Y. Simpson. The gov
ernOr has, by the new law. the right to
appoint 20 marrying justices in Tor-
cester, or one for every 5000 Of popula-
ton. Just now the number Of those with
power to marry is about 275, but after
July l, with 20 appointments which the
governor may make, the supply will he
reduced to 20. \ copy of the law was

Now that the aldermen are ready
to give hearing On the Worcester and
Webster street railway petition, it IS
well to remember that the public has
a greater interest than either Of the
railway companies in the disposition Of
the College street franchise, So long
as the line is built, it won't much
matter to the Consolidated, for IN
stance which company does the work.
In any case, it will collect fares of all
passengers brought into town from
Stearns square, but if the out of-Jown
company gets the franchise asked for
the public will have to pay double fare
to go from the city to any point be-
tween stearns square and the city line
and vice versa. The effect of granting
franchises within the city limits to out
of-town companies has been sut1i-
GENTLY illustrated.
