resources of September 20, 1898, was
$4,Oo3 1,044. which was the largest

CANADIAN MARRIAGE LAW.
Ministers in the Dominion
Are Illegal.

A new phase in alien-labor legislation
has arisen at Toronto, by which it is
declared that marriage ceremonies sol
emnIleu III IanAue, - vlel : 4,,e.. .o4l.
the United States are Illegal. During
the past two or three years more than
200 such marriages have been solemn
lied, of which there are 60 or so in Is
sex county, across the Detroit river.
The attention of the Ontario govern
ment having been drawn TO the mat
ter, Premier Hardy. who is, of course.
the legal adviser of the crown. has
pointed out the clause in the marriage
laws relating TO this subject. IL eN-
pressly provides that when marriage
ceremonies are performed by clergy
men. such clergymen must be resident
in Canada and be duly authorized min
listers of denominations expressly
recognized by Canadian Jaw.
There are known TO he almost 100
children born of such marriages. and
all are illegitimate. So seriods is the
matter that at the coming session of
the provincial legislature an act will be
passed legalizing all such marriages
that have taken place in the past. but
expressly forbidding them in future,
and legitimizing the children born Or
which may be born of such existing
marriages. The weddings referred TO
were mostly of parties who had near
relatives clergymen in the United
States

Death of Millionaire Balm Calls At

Millionaire Edward Balm. president of
the Balm Wagon company, whose death
was announced the other day at Ken

the man who never slept" and it is
doubtful if another case like his exists.
1t is Virtually fact that for the last
is years he did not sleep for an hour
in his bed. Constant devotion to bust
ness was the cause of his sleeplessness,
he having been known 10 remain in
his factory up to Is years ago as late
as four and five o'clock in the morn

found it impossible to sleep. At that
time he practically relieved himself of
