ENGLISH MARRIAGE LAWS

The bil allowing a man to marry his deceased wiies sister, passed by the English Commons. Is not likely to go through the House of Lords and be ap- proved by the King. as ii must before n become a law The present English marriage laws m some respects are relics oi those promulgated by the church carly in Englands national fife. and which included large number of prohibitions of marriage which ex- tended not only to several degrees of rclationship-at one time as iar as cousins seven times removed--but al- SO to certain spiritual relations ariS- ing from sacramental rights. The basis for the present statute that Is sought to be repealed was laid in the nme of Henry VIII. who did not mar " the sister of any wives he murdered
 The theory is that the deceased wife's sister is related to her brother-in-law in the second degree and be is no, aI- lowed to marry either her or her daughter: yet the English law now per. mits the marriage of first cousins. a close blood relationship, while there IS not necessarily any blood relation ship at an between a man and his wiie's sister.

IMPROVING THE CITY

We are glad to sec SO much interest taken m improving the apoearanee Of the city and we trust that the move ment wil not be suffered 10 abate in enthusiasm until much tha, ought Go be done is accomplished Certain it is that Skagway could be made a very pretty city during the summer months, but labor and considerable of ii will have Co be expended and as the city is not m a position to finance the pro feet. other resources will have to be devised
 The reyiyiug of Skagway day would be a good thing. but to accomplish the results sought by the present agitation the day should be observed as one oi general improvement. Instead Of re- stricting the work exclusively to pri vate premises something of public nature like workon streets or building sidewalks ougb' to be provided for, Not that the other changes are DO; needed. for they arc. but ii seems tha; some system of voluntary eO-opera- ton might be gotten up which could effect some improvements which are for the benefit ol the whole people
 We believe the forming of a good roads association which would include bicyclists and all others interested m the improvement of our thoroughiares a splendid move and hope to soon sec the organization effected
 The Magpies have taken up the task of interesting people in the heautil ms of the city by neatly fixing up the front yards and planting them with flowers: also to have flowers growing along the streets and other places.
