Kitchener and Mrs. Mary V. Miller,
both Of this city, last week married
themselves without the aid of any
preacher and without even having pre-

marriage must be recognized by the
law, too. 1t was the first marriage Of
the kind which was ever solemnized
in the state of California, according
to the claim made by the parties. 1t
was under the law of the Quaker
church, originated by George Fox, the
founder of the Quaker church in Eng
land $50 years ago. Several other
states of the union, after a strong eff
fort had been made. recognized this
form of ceremony, and in 1897, through
the efforts OF Senator c. NJ. Simpson,
California legalized il. The groom
did not have to procure a license. On
Saturday, Feb. II, the bride and groom
informed the Quaker church that they
contemplated marriage. A committee
was appointed to see that there were
no obstacles. Thirty days later the
committee reported that there was
none. The couple then informed the
church that they were still in the
same mine and another committee was
appointed by the congregation to see
that the ceremony was properly per-
formed. Half-past 10 in the morning
was the time set. At the close of a
prayer service the bride and groom
stepped before the congregation. fac

a New Yorker who was then in China.

stands for lawlessness, robbery and
murder, was once respectable. II is a
