MARRYING IN GERMANY.
RED Tape Americans HAYS to 90 rhrsaGh

An unfortunate citizen OF south Da-
kota. OF German birth. went 10 Bavaria
a while ago to wed the woman OF his
choice The young couple we're all
ready to have the ceremony performed
when the unpleasant discovery was
made that the Bavarian authorities re-
quired certain proofs that 1t was prop
er for the marriage contract 20 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
clul agent In the city Of Hamburg. 10

German citizens of the land who con-
template marrying In the old country.
This advice appears In our consular re-
ports which as a rule. deal far more
largely with commercial than matrl-
monlal interests. It appears that the
laws concerning the marriage Of for
eigners In Germany have recently been
revised and more stringent regulations

intend that any mistake shall be made

must be proved that one or both OF
the contracting parties are really for

authorities In the foreign land must
provide another certificate to show
that they know Of no Just cause or Inn
podlment why the marriage should not
take place, and this document must be
verified by the German ambassador or
a German consul one or the other OF
these oricihls also must certify TO

"Yep- or "yuD."

A curious American colloquialism, OF
which | certainly cannot see the adj
vantage. writes William Archer In Pail
Mall Gazette. is the substitution or
"yep" or 'yup" for yes" and OF
nope" for no" No doubt we have
In England the coster's ''yuss," but one
hears even educated Americans now
and then using yep" or some other
corruption Of yes" scarcely to be in
dicated by the ordinary alphabetical
symbols. 1t seems to me a pity.
Educated Americans, too, will often
say "somewheres" and "a long ways
/ have little doubt that this IS" has a
grammatical history of its own. Prob
ably II is an old case ending, just as
'he goes out nights" on which Mr..
Andrew Lang is so severe, Is sur
vival Of the "o'nights" which Shakes
peare puts in the mouth Of julius C@-
sar c'Sleek headed men and such as
sleep o'nights'J.
At the same time, as 'somewheres'
has become irremediably a vulgarism
In England. il would. think, be a
graceful concession on the part of ed
ucated Americans to drop the IS.
After all. somewhere does not jar
In America. and "somewheres" very
distinctly jars in England.
