REPUBLIC SPECIAL
Sen Francisco. March 9.-Mandamus pro-
ceedings to compel the County Clerk to is
sue a marriage licerse have been instituted
here.
The plaintiffs in the case are Augustus
Meinhold and his former wife. They were
divorced a few months ago, but now they
have made up and want to be married
again.
In any other State all they would have to
do would be to apply for the license, get it,
take 1t to a preacher or a magistrate. say
the magic words. and the severed bonds
would be soldered as good as new.
But the case Is different in California.
There Is a law which says hat Il man or
woman who has been divorced may not
marry within a year after the granting Of
the divorce.
This law was passed in 1897, and the
courts have held 1t to be good. 1t is not
even permitted Il divorced man or woman
living In California to run off to Nevada
ard be married until the probationary
period of one year has elapsed.
Numerous divorced couples have sought
licenses TO be reunited before the time-limit
had expired, but all have been refused.
Pleadlngs and threats have alike been III
vain, and they had to wait.
When Mr.. and Mrs. Meinhold wanted to
get married again they met with the Same
Z DIT tue LdIuS VI tIe County SIeIh.
He would not issue a license.
But Mr.. and Mrs. Meinhold We're not to
be put off. They pleaded, threatened and
then hired a lawyer. This lawyer has be-
gurNmandamus proceedings to compel the
CLERK to issue a license, and dozens of di-
yorced men and women throughout the
State are anyiOusly awaiting the result.
For If the County Clerk issues a license
to Mr.. and Mrs. MeinhOld, he will be COIN
PEELED to Issue one to each other divorced
couple who wish to be remarked without
awaiting the expiration of a twelvemonth.

bound car within a few feet of him. He was
bewildered, and in an effort to get out of
the way he jumped right in front of a vest
bound car. Workmen had made an excava-
ton between the rails, and into this he
fell. The car passed over him.

though searching. for something. The cat,
on the other hand, prepares almost at once
to TAKE a short run. Another notable fact
about the cat is the extreme care which
she invariably takes that her tail shall
never come in contact with the object over
which she Is leaping.
That cats and dogs can measure dis
tances pretty accurately seems to be proved
by the fact that the two animals photo

also somewhat remarkable that they took

Kensel as a cadet in the United States
Military Academy. Kensel will return at

his eyes prior to entering the academy.
What happened was that while standing
on his head in a tent, which was the rule
for the "Plebes' whenever an upper class
man entered. he was kicked in the right
eye, possibly accidentally, by an upper class
man, and was sent to the hospital.
