WHAT 1T COSTS TO MARRY.
Only SO Bill Is Nee lie to Tefray the
Necessary Exneu-es


Necessary Expeu-es.
Marriage is one of the cheapest of
luXuries if one reckons only the out
lay required for the payment of the
preacher or magistrate who performs
the ceremony and the cost of the Ii
cense in such States as require Ii
censes. Any minister. priest or preach
er of the gospel in the United States
may solemnize marriages, and in many
States judges for one or more classes
of courts may ofiiciate. In all save
half dozen States. too. Justices of the
peace have the privilege of officiating
at the highly important function.
In some parts of the United States
the person performing marriage cere-
mOny must have personal knowledge
of the identity, names and residence of
the parties, and inasmuch as such laws
are enforced in some Of the Western
States where young people frequently
drive long distances to be married. the
stipulation has on occasion caused
more or less Inconvenience. In most Of
the States two witnesses are required
to be present at the sOlemnizatiOn of a
marriage, although in some States
single witness is sufficient There is
still in force in Pennsylvania an old
law which prescribes that twelve wit
nesses shall be present, but this ex-
action is seldom if ever enforced Per-
haps the strangest stipulation of all is
that which appears in the laws of Ten
nessee, and is to the effect that the
validity of a marriage shall be in no.
wise affected by the omission of the
baptismal name of either party in the
license and the use of nickname in
stead provided the parties can be iden-
titled. Any person cOnversant with the
conditions prevailing in the mountain
districts of Tennessee will appreciate
the wisdom of this unique proviso.
Common supposition is to the effect
that the fee for performing the mar
riage ceremony is dependent entirely
upon the generosity of the bridegroom,
and 1t will doubtless, therefore, sur
prise many persons to learn that in
several States the law has hand in
the matter. In the old dominion for
instance there is a statute which pro-
vides that the person solemnizing a
marriage is entitled to a fee of one
dollar, and that ANY person exacting
greater fee shall forfeit to the party
aggrieved $50" In West Virginia it is
stipulated that the fee be lat least one
/ dollar" and the Idaho law says that
-ho1 10
greater sum voluntarily given by the
parties to such marriage" In sixteen
States OF the Union a welded couple
may obtain a more or less elaborate GER
tificate of their marriage.

her Canadian niece is avenging the

People Who Wear the Kilt.

The wearing of the kilt is a GUS

est society in Scotland. Many peers
and some wealthy commOners who are
chiefs of clans take special pride in
the national costume. The Duke of
Sutherland and his sons the Duke of
Argyll, and his brother. Lord Archi-
bald Campbell, Lord Kinnoull, and en-
titled chieftains, such as Cameron of
Lochiel or The Mackintosh-all these
and many more - wear the Highland
dress when in Scotland. A gentleman
of high degree dons a kilt of palmer

The OLD GARDEN.

know of haunted garden where the
old-time flowers grow;
There are hollyhocks and lilies in
long and stately row;
There are lilac trees by the gateway, and
roses white and red
And the Southern woods spicy fragrance
follows the careless tread
a memory haunted garden, out of life's
busy way,
Where the spell of vanished summers
fingers the livelong day.
The hands that planted these flowers
have moldered back to dust,
But their hearts are true and steadfast,
and they seem to hold in trust
The memories of the old-time, and those
whom men forget.
Perhaps for the lilac and lily the dead
are living yet
Those whom our eyes can see not may
tend them still-who knows
or the strange, sweet secrets hidden in
the red heart of the rose?
Does grandmother come to gather its
pnks and its pansies still
From the grave which kind hands made
her in the churchyard on the hillf
Does she know when the lilacs blossom
that she planted long ago:
The question must 90 unanswered, but
fancy it may be so.
And so from the dear old garden not
flower | take away,
But leave them all to be gathered by the
hands that are dust to-day.

a good public school education. His
parents were respectable and well-to-
do. He learned the trade of a black
smith and made a good living. In 1867,
being out of work, he fell in with bad
company and was induced to come to
New York. Here he took part in a
burglary in October, 1867, and was SEN
fenced to five years in Sing Sing. Hav-
ing served that time, he went back to
Chicago, and in October, 1873, was
caught in the act of burglary. This
time he got fifteen years in Joliet pris-
on. After completing his term he re-
turned to New York. In 1888 he was
again arrested in Brooklyn for the
same offense. This time he got four
years and seven months in the Kings
County penitentiary.
Being released, he kept straight I'M
til 1894, when he was caught at burg
larry, and under the name of George
Collins he was sent to Sing Sing again
for two years and six months. Again
in October, 1897, he bungled a job in
New York, and was arrested. This time
it was five years in Sing Sing and his
term expired on July last.
Then he went to Hoboken and was
arrested as a suspicious person. Burg
lars tools were found on him, but he
managed to slip the law.
Then he started for Paterson but got
off at Passaic by mistake. He entered
Iawver William Scott'S residence and
got away with 500 worth of jewelry
He was caught and sent to the cOun-
ty Jail to await trial. He had a full
set of tools for picking locks. On his
trial he pleaded guilty.
The old man sat in the prisoners row
in tears, and an aged woman, his only
friend, tottered to the bar, and spoke
few words for the prisoner. She
meant well. but she knew nothing
about the prisoner that would helI
him.-New York Journal.
