A RARE CEREMONY.
Woman Is Released From Mar
rying Brother-in- Law.

New York, Aug Am extraordinar-
lily rare ceremony based by the Jews di-
rectly upon the teachings of the Old
Testament has just been performed in
this city when a young woman who had
Travelled 10000 miles was released from
the obligation Of marrying her deceased
husbands brother, says the New York
Times. The obligation of a woman
marrying the brother of her deceased
husband, according to ancient Hebrew
law, arose when her husband died be-
fore children We're born to the pair.
The young woman in the case is Mrs.
Coda Laos, a young Roumanian Jew
ess from Bucharest. A little over three
years ago she married Emanuel Laos
when she was but IS years old. Within
three months the husband died. All
this happened in Bucharest The
brOther-in-laW, whom, according to the
faith, the young woman must marry,
is Samuel Laos of East Forty ninth
street, this city Laos was already
married and therefore, of course could
not have married the widow of his
brother, even if he had wanted to.
The young woman opened negotia-
tions with her New York relative soon
after the death of her husband, but
her brother-in-law found 1t impossible
to travel abroad to have the ceremony
of dispensing with the obligation per
formed Without this dispensation,
according to the law, the widow could
not marry again.
Under the circumstances the widow
decided to come to America to get the
desired release, and it was this cere-
mony which was performed in a little
front room on the second floor of a ten
ement house on Norfolk street
A portion of the Talmud was read by
the rabbi who, at the end of the read
ing, produced a sandal of peculiar and
ancient pattern. It was made of two
pieces of leather and was fastened
with latches and two long thongs.
STOPPING he fastened this to the foot
of Laos. The widow was then directed
to kneel in front of the man, and use
only her right hand to unite the shoe.
After this was done she arose held the
shoe high above her head and cast it
on the floor in front of her brother-in-
law. The two principals We're then de-
elared free to go their own ways.

ARE AFTER BEVELLE.
Carriers RebelIing Against
Sidewalk Ordinance.

The paper carriers have declared war
on the bicycle policeman. Bevelle.
BevelIe makes it his business to sneak
up on bicycle riders who dare to ride
for a block or so on the sidewalks and
add the unfortunate wheelman to the
long list of arrests with which he daz-
zles the eyes of Chief Stahl.
Paper carriers are the special delight
of Mr.. Bevelle. Next to small children,
Bevelle likes to nab the carriers.
A delegation of carriers called at the
city building this morning to see the
city attorney and mayor. and try to
find out whether there is any way by
which they can get permission to ride
on the sidewalks. They were told that
the only way such permission could be
secured would be by the passage of
new ordinance, regulating the riding on
walks.
Bevelle arrested three or four carriers
Thursday afternoon. He arrested the
same man twice during the course of
the afternoon. It will take about all
that carrier makes out of his route this
week to pay for the privilege OF riding
on the sidewalks.
TT seems to me- said one of the car
riers today that the council ought to
fix some way by which people can pay
a license fee, or give bond. and get the
privilege of riding on the sidewalk The
boys who carry papers find it almost
unavoidable to ride on sidewalks. They
have to use a wheel to cover their ter
1llOrE, ana they nave 10 ride on the
sidewalks to get close enough to the
buildings to throw in the papers. 1t
looks TO me as though the enforcement
of the law was being carried to silly
extreme when a person is arrested for
simply riding across the sidewalk to
reach a house from the pavement That
was what happened to me last night
Ii Chief Stahl would put man of good
sense out to enforce the bicycle or
dinance there would not be much kick
ing but as long as he keeps a man at
work who simply tries to make a record
for arrests justifiable or not. then it is
inclined to make people mad
The paper carriers may hold q meet
ing and petition the council to pass an
ordinance amending the present strict
regulations against riding on the side
walk

ONLY TWO REMAIN.
Properties Which Are Condemned on
Santa Fe Shop Site.

The Commercial club committee an
nounces today that all but two pro-
pertes for the Santa Fe shop site have
been secured. Condemnation proceed
ings are now pending concerning these
two, which are lots 1 and on Branner
street owned by A. V. Newbold who
lives in the Indian Territory and who
has not replied to any OF the commit
tees letters; the other property is a lot
on Klein street near First owned by
George Fritten of Tecumseh.
The committee estimates that it will
not be necessary to issue over fifty
eight or sixty thousand dollars in
bonds at the outside. This will be a
saving Of $4,000, as the bond election
permitted the city to use as much as
$4,000 for this purpose.
About twenty eight houses and CON
siderable other movable property will
be sold tomorrow through the sealed
bids which will be received until Sat
urday noon.

Oh THTNGs PAss AWAY.

The editor Of the Indianapolis Sem
tinel formally renounces the free silver
cause in the following editorial in his
paper.
The editor of The Sentinel has been
a bimetallist ever since the coinage
question came to the front in 1878 He
gave the casting vote in 1880 as chair
man OF the platform committee of the
Democratic state convention of In
diana in favor OF a free coinage resolu-
uon- He maintains now that under the
conditions which existed then and for
some years later the demand for free
coinage was logical and rational and
ne believes that the country as "a whole
nand prevailed But the evil which il
was meant to heal has been cured by
other methods. There is an abundant
supply of primary money. The curse
of an approaching dollar no longer ex-
lists Practically all the public and
private Indebtedness now existing Was
contracted under the present monetary
standard The business OF the world
has adjusted itself to the actual coin
age system of this country and Europe
There is today no reason for agitating
the silver question. in fact there is no
silver question What there may be
IN the future The Sentinel will not ven
ture to predict. 1t IS not the prophet
nor the son OF a prophet 1T takes con-
ditiOns as it finds them. and tries to
deal with them as they are. not as they
have been or as they may be in the
future But for the relief which has
come to the country since 1886 from the
increased supply of gold-which is
recognized by Bryan, ToWne. NeWlauds
Warner and pretty much all the recog-
nixad silver leaders-the silver question
would be with US today. and even more
fnperat tive than IN 1896 The Sentinel
like Mr.. Bryan, believes in an honest
dollar and stable dollar. a stable
dollar Is always an honest dollar The
dollar now i'm use has not appreciated
for years. Tt has rather deprecated
So far as the coinage question is con-
rarned the situation is satisfactory for
the time being. The country has OBJ
tanned relief. not from the Republican
party. Nor from the Democratic party.
