and Are Refused a License.
FIANCEE IS AN ORPHAN GIRL
Her Surviving Relatives Sanction
the Match. hut the Clerk Is OBJ
duraIe-Bride to BE Not
of Legal Age.

Twice within less than a fortnight have
pretty Mary Suil.berg Of No. i72l South
Ninth street and Peter Hartman of No
lIzi South Second street applied at the
marriage license Office In the City Hall to
obtain permission to wed. but. owing 10 the
youthful appearance OF the young lady and
her inability To convince the license clerk
that she is almost Of age, the couple have
been unable to obtain a license.
The last attempt was made yesterday aft
ernoon. when Miss Sulleherg's brother ac-
companied the pair upon their mission. He
explained that his sister an orphan
and that there was no objection whatever
TO the marriage by either of the families
In spite OF this assurance Clerk Leonhardt
persisted in his refusal to issue the license,
and Mary departed with fearful eyes, but
with stronger determination 70 marry the
man Of her choice without waiting for her
eighteenth birthday
The young girl and her sweetheart have
known each other for many years. They
went 10 school together and when mere
children promised to wait until they had
grown up and then get married When
Mary's mother died some time back these
promises were renewed. About ten days
ago the couple announced to their respect
i've families that they Intended getting
raised and they proceeded jOyfully to the
marriage license office.
The clerk 10 whom they applied thought
that the young people meant to play a joke,
because of their youthful appearance. and
jestingly suggested that they wait until
the year of the next presidential election.
When he found that they We're in earnest,
however. he fatty refused to issue them
a license unless accompanied by the girls
guardian. The couple went away very
much downhearte1, but were soon planning
to circumvent the clerks objection.
Hartman suggested to his fancee that
they journey to Clayton. but she was un-
willing to do this. saying that 1t would
look too much like an elopement. II was
finally decided to wait few days and
when some other clerk was on duty at the
City Hall office 10 make another trial. This
was done. with the result of another dis
appointment yesterday.
When seen last night the couple appeared
greatly put-out by their second failure, but
said that they would continue to try un-
til ultimately successful Miss SUllebeTS
says that she Will be of age in d mont
and then she will be able to take d copy
of her baptismal record and offer it to the
clerk and enjoy a laugh at mis- expense.
Her uncle. with whom she lives. says thII
he is wiling to have his niece marry. bul
that he has not the time 10 so TO the

story, an uncomfortable appetite for liquor
seiZes him each year about September %.
Then said Ladow, Il uncOnsciously go
on "A protracted spree. For generations
past this has been an eccentricity Of the
male members Of my family. September %
of each year has been an unfortunate day
with us. l crave for drink at the same
time each year and this craving never
ceases until the appetite ceases.
Sometimes It extends over a period of
several days and sometimes for several
weeks. Another popularity OF our family
is that all OK the male members have been
bachelors for several generations"
Prisoner LadOw objected strenuously to
Incarceration unless a featherbed and
plenty of beer were furnished. He was
promised these commodities by Sergeant
