About 40 Tailor Made Suits ranging from $1O to $25, made by best manu- lecturers, sewn with silk, silk lined carefully tailored in every detail, all at one price, your choice $5 each; would hardly pay for the lining. This price seems ridiculous, but if you SC them you will purchase and save $10 on the purchase.

The board of supervisors of San Francisco has passed an ordinance in favor of the drug clerks hours of em- ployment being limited to 13S hours Of actual service in two weeks This means an average of ten and a half hours per day. It was due to the lat ter's standing with the organized labor movement that this result has been achieved. Tn many other cities where the drug clerks are not affiliated with the labor movement their hours of ac- tual service range from fourteen to eighteen hours per day.

NEW MARRIAGE LAW.
New York State Abolished the
Common Law Marriage.
In It's Place a civil Contract Form Is
Provided, which Must he Signed
Before Two witnesses and Then
Filed at Eourt House.

With the old year common-law
marriages in New York state ceased,
and new law recognizing marriage
by civil contract has taken effect.
BY the signing Of written agree
ment in the presence of two wit
nesses, acknowledging it before a
notary and fling the paper with the
county clerk, a man and woman may
legally wed in New York state.
In abolishing the old law, its abuse
by designing persons has been done
away With, and the services of cler-
gymen, justices of the peace and al
dermen are made no longer neces-
sary to tie the marriage knot. Law
yers who have given the new law at
tention say that it will require fur
ther amendment to prevent its being
used to the injury of one or the 9TH
er of the contracting parties by a
failure to make it matter of rec
ord.
Assemblyman John A. Weekes.
Jr., introduced the bill in the legis-
lature last February. 1t passed both
iOdSS3 III ~ pm anu ICCCiACd ChN CIV
ernor's signature.
1t is the last clause in the law that
has aroused criticism. If both par
ties contract marriage, but neglect
to record it within six months
through carelessness of the intent
of the husband or wife, The marriage
is invalid.
1t is pointed out that a husband
may wilfully deceive wife about re-
cording the certificate and after the
interval has passed may desert her.
1t is suggested also that the law pro-
vides an inconsistency by recogniz-
ing man and woman as husband
and wife for five months and 20 or
30 days. and then, if no certificate is
filed, declaring their marriage ille-
gal.
In advocacy of the bill Assembly
man Weekes pointed to many cases
in the courts in which designing
women had posed as widows and
claimed estates of men deceased.
The new law recognizes all marriages
solemnized by clergymen, and no de-
crease in the number Of church we'd
dings is expected.

jectile containing 500 pounds of nitro-
glycerin or other high explosive dis
tance of 5000 yards. The Hilton Head
gun threw 500 pounds of nitroglycerin
6,000 yards.
The difficulty operating against the
successful construction of dynamite
guns hitherto has been the inability
accurately to fix in advance the place
of conclusion. The shell was. apt to
go off in the gun unless extreme care
was taken to guard against chance ex-
plosion. On the other hand, if too
many precautions were taken to in
sure it against a chance shock it was
apt to fail to explode on impact.
The new pneumatic gun is so feet IN

so tons. The projectile is 10 feet long.
Five shots of the largest size were
fred in 20 minutes.

standard and initiate an organization
with the hope of securing control of all
the liberal elements prior to the next
general election.
Temporarily this diversion of the OPP
position viii greatly facilitate the
governments programme, the chief
item of which is a sweeping reform of
parliamentary procedure. The hope
less delay and confusion which at
present characterizes all legislative eff
forts at Westminster have reached a
point where parliament has become
ridiculous M the eyes of the country.
In the drastic recasting of the pro-
cedure many methods employed in the
United States congress will either be
adopted or given a trial in modified
form.
The chancellor of the exchequer, Sir
Michael Hicks-Beach, will doubtless
get all the additional war supplies he
requires, though special measures will
be necessary to raise them, and this
will give Sir Henry Campbell Banner
mans section of the opposition a full
opportunity for criticizing the govern
ment's policy in South Africa.
Some sanguine prophets also believe
the war will be sufficiently near its
end to enable the government to put
before the nation, during the session,
detailed plans for the settlement Of
South Africa. This belief, however.
does not appear to be shared by the
war office.
