A Unique Society In Berlin which I,
20 Hold Bis Celebration
In 1904,

Herr Monteur, a worthy resident
OF Berlin, is over 70 years old, but
will celebrate his eighteenth birth
day on February 30, 1904. He is pres
ldent of the Berlin society of leap
year children, the one organization
OF its kind in the world. The MEM
bers have had no birthday celebra-
ton for eight years, the extra Feb
ruary day having been omitted in
1900 according to the rules of the
reformed calendar. Therefore the
society is planning a great celebra-
ton on February 20, 1904. A COM
mittee of arrangements is already
at work, and something extraordin-
airy may be expected, as on account
OF the society's curious origin many
prominent persons have interested
themselves in the matter.
The month Of February in 1886, BY
the way, was even more interesting
than that which will be marked by
the unique Berlin celebration. It
mad no full moon, and in that was
the most remarkable in the worlds
history, for never before had such a
thing occurred. January of that
year had two full moons, and so had
March, but February had none.
How extraordinary this event was
may be judged from the fact that
according to the computation of
astronomers it will not occur again
for 2,50O,O0O years.

ART AND ATHLETICS.
Ahe OutdOOr Movement, 1t IL
Thought, Will Advance the Two
interests

The universally increasing atten-
ton now being given, especially in
Anglo-SaXon countries, to out-of.
door sports and to physical culture
is a sign of the best omen. No class
can have.a greater solicitude for the
furtherance of this movement than
the artists, for they cannot create
beautiful forms without having
beautiful forms around them from
which to draw inspiration. The art
of nation is but the mirror of that
nations ideals, and faithfully reflects
Their slightest change, says Outing.
This new conception of the value of
athletics will add dignity, interest
and standing, making it factor sec
ond to none in the development of
our civilization. 1t will be IA mighty
influence in the creation of new
and superior type of men and women,
1hat women are growing more and
more to realize this is evidenced bv
the athletic tendency of the modern
girl. If she will combine Herewith
an intelligent effort after well-bal-
anced and harmonious DEVELOPMENT
the results are bound to be satisfy
ing IN the extreme. for in many ways
the female body is quicker than the
male to respond to training.

Canvass of the Vote.

The close of the canvass of the
vote in the three counties will show
little variation from the early re-
turns. Thus far the Republicans
have gained one Representative.
In Sussex County the legislative
delegation will stand ten Republi-
cans and five Democrats. The
Democrats filed numerous contests
but withdrew most CT them, and
the contest by the Republicans of
the election of Thomas w. Jeffer-
son, Democrat, was decided in favor
of Jefferson whose majority is five.
The court made sensible decision
when it declined to throw out the
First election district of the Tenth
Representative district. The ground
urged for the application was that
the voters used an ordinary black
pencil instead of the indelible pen
Gil, but the court was informed that
the pencils used came from the bal
lot boxes and were furnished to the
voters by the clerks. The court
held that where few ballots were
marked with an improper pencil
they might come under the provis-
ion of law to prevent fraud, but
there the ballots of a whole district
were SO marked it could hardly be
fraud. The voters had q right to
rely on the clerks. The value of
the decision lies in this that when a
voter has complied with the law to
the best of his ability he is not to
be held responsible for the action of
election officers Otherwise the
voter would be subject to lose his
vote through no fault of his own.
Indeed there are enough ways APP
parently for the citizen to be cheat
ed out of his vote without making
1t almost impossible for him to vote
as he desires, and any protection
the court may throw about him is
in the line of right and justice.
In Kent County, the canvass has
closed with no change in the legis-
larive result as already announced.
The delegation from that county
will comprise seven Republicans,
seven Democrats and there is one
tie.
In New Castle County, the can
vass has been in progress three days.
Although James Kitchen, Republi-
can, was defeated for Representative
in the First district by thirty-hve,
Gael, Republican, carried that dis
trict for assessor by seventy-two.
The other four districts in town
stand the same on assessor that they
do on representative, two Republi-
cans and two Democrats. Brandy
wine Hunured elects Il Republican
Representative and a Democratic
assessor. A change is made IN the
standing of the New Castle delega~
ton in the Legislature, for the con-
test brought by Leonard V. Aspril.
1Jr., Republican, against James 7.
Shallcross, Democrat, i'll st. Georges
Hundred, the Thirteenth district,
resulted in favor Of Mr.. AspriL who
wins by one vote. The face Of the
returns elected Shallcross bv four
votes, The Republicans now have
thirty members Of the Legislature.

Monetary Situation Improving.

Good crops assure another season
of business activity and this has
unquestionably saved us from I'M
pleasant consequences, says Henry
Clews, the New York banker. The
monetary situation is steadily i'm
proving and this is cause for reas-
surance. Gold exports have not
commenced, and a larger outgo of
agricultural products is about due
and should defer an effiux of the
precious metal for period,
although our large borrowings
abroad, which at the moment APP
pear to be increasing, are likely tc
force gold shipments when settle
ment day arrives. Large sums of
money arc still locked up in syndi-
cate operations, and this, coupled
with the financing of important
deals and the activity of general
business, is likely to keep funds in
limited supply at firm rates, at least
until currency returns from the in
terior after crop requirements are
over

brought against the two pTrveyors
to the thirst of Congress, charging
them with violating the liquor laws
OF the district nay, more, with
dlsobeying the regulation which
prevents the sale OF liquor on
government reservation. The de-
cision of the Court of Appeals held
that Congress was selt-goyerning
body and could regulate its own
thirst in accordance with its own
will. There We're no Congressman

meantime, the soldiers in the army

they are soldiers and not statesmen.

made a change of some Importance in re-
gard to the form of marriage license in the
District. The new law amends section 1898
of the code by striking out the first five
lines and inserting in lieu thereof the fol-
lowing:
Form of lcense-Licenses to perform the
marriage ceremony shall be addressed to
some particular minister or magistrate au-
thorized by section 1888 hereof to perform
the marriage CEREMONY
Section 1888 unamended. provided that
the form of license should be- in part: ITO
any minister or other person authorized to
celebrate marriages in the District of Co
lumbia, greeting"
Now, it is necessary for the clerk of the
court to issue the license to Rev. John
Zoe, or to Justice of the Peace John
Doe, designating particular minister or
magistrate. The clerk yesterday declined
to issue licenses to a large number of
applicants until the latter were prepared to
give the names of the persons who were
10 perform the ceremonies. 1t has been the
custom for couples, especially those from
out OF town, to procure license and then
set forth in quest of a minister or magis-
trate, engaging the services of the one first
reached.
The law requires that any person per-
forming the marriage ceremony shall make
a return thereof to the clerk Of the court
WITHIN ten days. 1t Is stated that one OBJ
)ect OF the amendment providing for the
addressing of the license to some particular
minister or magistrate was to have a record
of the officiating person so that he could
pc reached in the event he failed to make
the required return.
