FIRST cousins MAY NOT MARRY.

A bill makink 1t unlawful for first
cousins to marry has gone into effect in

out marriage lictpscs In Philadelphia.
said Monday:
Some Of these beople make me very
weary. The law goes into operation
today, and some df the people who
don't understand English as we'll as
they might will say they are cousins,
and first cousins, and start out to prove
1t by Argument. Then when they have
convinced ne OF the fact tell them
ths law on the aubje and straightway
they go on the other track and tell me
that no tie Of blood exists between
them, or ut most they are only ADD
cousins twice removed. "
In passing this law Pennsylvania Ia
In line with New York, MasHaoh usetts,
Virginin, California, kentucky, indiana
and louisiana The law on the subject
makes the marriage Of man and
woman related by blood within certain
named degrees acrime under the COM
mon law, and under the ecclesiastical
law IL is yoidahle BY statute such
as has just been passed by the Legisa-
ture it is void. This disability Is based
remotely on the laws OF Moses as laid
down Ia Leviticus 18th and directly ON
the statute of Henry VIII and similar
statutes enacted in this country.
The books Of medical Jurisprudence
go more deeply into the subject aud
declare that the issue Of marriage
between first cousins 10 apt to be i'm.

known case of Henry Clay, who married
his fret cousin, is cited, and those 81
