An unfortunate citizen Of south Da-
kota. of German birth. went to Bavaria
. while ago to wed the woman Of his
choice. The young couple were all
ready to have the ceremony performed
when the unpleasant discovery was
made that the Bavariap authorities re-
CURED certain proofs that 1t was prop
er for the marriage contract to be
made. This necessity. says the New
York Sun. required the production OF
various documents from the United
States. and four months elapsed be-
fore the marriage was permitted to
take place. The dilemma of this cou-
pie has moved Mr.. Stern, our CONNER
cial agent in the city OF Hamburg, to
give some advice and information to
German citizens OF the land who con-
template marrying in the old country.
This advice appears in our consular re-
ports which, as rule, deal far more
largely with commercial than matri-
monial interests. 1t appears that the
laws concerning the marriage OF for
eigners in Germany have recently been
revised and more stringent regulations
are now in force, as Germany does not
intend that any mistake shall be made
IL she can help it. In the first place Ii
must be proved that one or both of
the contracting parties are really for
eisners. A certificate OF naturalization
in foreign land must therefore be
produced, as preliminary Then the
authorities in the foreign land must
provide another certificate to show
that they know of no just cause or i'm
pediment why the marriage should not
take place, and this document must be
verified by the German ambassador or
German consul. One or the other Of
these officials also must certify to !,
certificate of birth. which the appli-
can't is required TO produce. II there
is any consanguintty between the cou-
PIE. the applicant must produce proof
that in his adopted country this rela-
tionship forms no impeachment to the
marriage, and II he has been previous
ly married and has been divorced the
decree relating to the annulnent of
the marriage, verified by a consul must
be forthcoming. Perhaps an appropri-
ate title for these new marriage laws
would be: Acts TO prevent foreigners
from coming over to Germany to mar
ry German girls and thus depicts the
population of this great empire"

Nehemiah's question Juggling at his
heartstrings, Why is the house of
God Forsaken?' Forsaken by the poor
because they have worked so hard
through the six days that the seventh
finds them in bed trying to secure the
necessary equipment for another

by the rich because they have played
so hard all the week that they are abb
solutely too worn out for worship.
Forsaken by the vast foreign coutin-

increasing class Of morally corrupt
men who feel that religious convic-
tions do not depend on church attend

multitude of men and women to whom
life has no serious meaning, who are
living In the animal nature and are
satisfied with 1t. Forsaken also by
that numerous class of indiTerents
who, while they may have no moral
slant to their lives. have drifted out
OF all church Affiliations. to whom the
call to worship is like the dim echo of
an Alpine horn, who are more thrilled
by the breakfast bell than the church
bell, and who use Sunday to visit and
receive visits.
Then there are hordes OF people
who regulate their church-golng by the
thermometer and the barometer II

divine worship.
But the final and far more serious
!. encouragement to church life In New
York is the stupendous growth of the
Hebrew race. Nearly every name on
the Broadway stores between the Bat
terry and Twenty-third street Ia a Jew
ish name. The Jews are becoming the
merchant princes of New York. They
are still the chosen people. They are
settling down into the best parts of
Manhattan Island. Pastors suddenly
discover that their churches are sur
rounded by dwelling houses occupied
almost exclusively by Jews. 1 can
point out not only whole blocks, but
whole sections of the city, inhabited
by the Hebrew race, and in the finest
residential portions They take pos
session Of neighborhood so gradually
and quietly that pastor discovers that
his church, once launched in Chris
tian community, is suddenly stranded
high and dry In Jewish one. After a
while the original members drop on,
and the thrifty Jew has VS. eyes on the
bargain counter, for churches as we'll

TO the trouble OF building a synagogue,
he can buy church far cheaper. A
prominent rabbi told city pastor that
X the terms could be agreed upon he
could buy twenty or thirty churches
between Fiftieth and One Hundredth

planning for long time that the Jews
were crowding the Gentiles out OF
business. Is it possible that the Jews
are also crowding the churches out OF

A prominent breeder, speaking about
the bay mare Lucille, 2;0s%. by Brum-
mel, dam Fannie X. 2:2lk, by Major
Benton, driven to her record last sea-
son by Amos Rathbun. the northern
New York trainer, said that Rathbun
would probable get laughed at for pre-
dieting that this smooth daughter OF
Brummel will step faster than The ADJ
bot. He not only predicts that. but
says she has chance TO get the
worlds record. There are few horse
men who know Rathbun and Lucille
that will not laugh at the Glens Falls
trainers predictions. Lucille prob
ably came to extreme speed form with
less training than has characterized
the career of any other 2:lO trotter.
Last fall at Lexington on the morning
of the day ON which Lucille took her
record several horsemen were grouped
near the first turn OF the track talk
ing OF the merits Of the different 2:lO
trotters of the season. One OF them
put up the assertion that in his opinion
the best prospect was the little mare,
Lucille. In Amos Rathbun's stable.
How fast can she go?' asked a
well-known western trainer.
:" I don't know. but she can trot three
heats in 2:10. and do 1t easy
THE answer caused the other horse
men to laugh long and loud, but later
in the day Lucille won her race. trot-
ting the three heats in 2;i0A 2:0sA,
2:10A. In no heat did the mare troi
to her limit, and in the last heat Rath-
bun was so fearful that she would trot
out of the 2:l0 class that he fairly
pulled her OF her feet into break as
she passed under the wire. More than
one good judge predicted then and
there that Lucille could have trotted
any of the three miles In 2:OS or bet
ter. In view Of these facts. and In
view of Rathbun's knowledge OF the
mare, 1t is just possible that his as
sertion regarding her ability to trot as
fast as The Abbot may not be so wild
as those who don't know all about her
are likely to regard Il"

report made to the governor general

Spanish foundations, with the excep-
ton OF few that had been established
more than a year before in Santiago

schools In the island, Of which POI are
In Havana city, 1872 In Matanzas city

lieves this attendance will have IN

ROM ANCE OF AN EGO.

For full-iedged romance to hatch
from common hens egg is a rather
extraordinary occurrence, but this q
what has transpired as the result OF an
idle action OF pretty Iowa girl and
the mystery-loving nature of a govern
ment employe in Cuba, the egg acting
as means of introduction.
The opening chapter OF the romance
dates from last summer, when the egg
reached Miss Lizzie Gilday, clerk W
an egg exporting establishment in Fort
Dodge. Iowa. During a period OF rest
Miss Gilday inscribed her name and
address on large white egg with In
delible ink. 1t was shipped with big
consignment to a New York dealer.
and made part of one of the first
shipments OF American eggs to Cuba.
The egg at last came into the possess
sion Of Charles P. H. Smith, one OF the
United States civil-service men at
Guines, and he noticed the address.
He wrote to Miss Gilday and In due
season received a reply. The CORES
pondenee thus opened continued, pic
lures were exchanged and the romance
developed.

The first important work which the
Billiard Room-Keepers' association OF
America should take in hand Is to see
that the war taxes are removed from
the billiard tables. Representative
Terry of New York has introduced
bill in the house. making a general re-
duction on everything where special
tax had been placed to carry on the
war with Spain. The war has now
been over nearly two years. and the In
come of the government is many mill
lions In excess OF Its expenses. conse-
quently there can be no longer any
excuse for taxing anyone for such
purpose. but more especially so those
who cannot afford to pay such tax
Room-keepers never object to paying
any tax when 1t Is necessary to do so.
They are probably not the poorest men
IN this country. but most assuredIy
they are not among the richest To-
bacco and liquor dealers are already
making an effort to have the war tax
removed from their goods. We have
no doubt that they are right, but where
these men can afford to pay ten dollars
room-keepers cannot afford to pay one.
1t should be the first duty OF the
Room-Keepers' association to see that
this tax is removed at once. To tax
the room-keepers of America any
longer for such a cause would be more
than an outrage on class of men
who are already more than overtaxed
in their business.-Sporting Life.
