TO PAVE THE ALLEY.
Abutters Want Work Done on That
West of Commercial Street.

The alley through block 10 SAT- Lake
City survey, Is an object OF anxious
contemplation by II number Of abutters
anxious TO see the ordinance relative
TO paving the alley carried out The
grade is considerably above that Of the
properties on either side, and when the
wet weather comes, the place becomes
a bog which drains down into the busi-
ness premises on the west, and makes
things unpleasant for the dizzy denl-
zens on the Commercial street side
The alley would have been paved long
ago but for the temporary Injunction
granted on petition Of a small minority
Of abutters at the upper end, who are
regarded as obstructionists by the 9TH
ers. And 1t is not believed that the
court win make the injunction perma'
nent. The petition, among other things
alleged over assessment for the I'M
provement but II Is argued that this
ought not TO bar the work, and that
the obstructionists would DO wen TO
seek the relief they allege they want, in
some other less annoying way

AS TO HAWAllANS.
County Attorney Hands Down Writ
ten Opinion on the Question.

In accordance with verbal opinion
rendered at the time the question arose.
County Attorney Christensen yesterday
handed County Clerk James a written
opinion on the question OF the mar.
rage OF a fun blood Hawaiian ana a
white person. The opinion holds that
a Hawaiian Is member Of the Mon
gollan race and, as marriage between
a Monaghan and white person - pro-
hiblted by the statutes Of this state,
a Hawaiian IS prohibited from marry
ing a white person,
The point was raised by the county
clerk several weeks ago when a Ha-
waian residing at Murray, accompan-
led by white girl, applied for a mar
rage license. The clerk refused the
license and Immediately sought an
opinion from the county attorney, who
at that time held that the action Of
the county clerk was perfectly proper.
The Hawaiian and his intended bride
did not take well 10 the county clerks
action aud sought the assistance Of an
attorney who demanded that the license
be issued.
His efforts were OF no avail and the
license was not issued. The case has
since attracted considerable attention
all over the country and It viii probab-
ly be followed In many states as pre-
cedent on that point.

NEW ARMY UNIFORM,
Chaplain Ayton the Proud Possessor Of
One of the Latest.

Chaplain Axton Is out with his new
uniform, built according TO the recent
ly devised rules gotten up after much
mental wear and tear by an army
board, The coat Is no longer the semi
mediaeyal affair so long imposed upon
the suffering chaplains but the regula.
ton army blouse with the insignia OF
the branch OF the service on the collar,
and the shoulder strap with a much
smaller cross In the center The col
lar insignia Is reglmental for the in
fantry and cavalry, with n neat eagle
with spread wings and ~. S, A." above
IT, The pants are black broadcloth
with broad black mohalr stripe down
the sides. While the black felt hat still
remains. army ohaplains feel sure of
getting permission to wear the regular
army cap when desired. II Is not so
long since chaplalns were compelled to
wear a sort Of antique twelfth century
garb that was perpetual eye sore to
them, and old Chaplain Jackson Of Fort
Douglas used TO worry over II more
than n lNle" Chaplalns were wont
once TO say that II seemed as though
the uniform regulation board not only
Of the army, but OF the navy also, were
bent on making chaplans look as
ridiculous as possible, TO bellttle their
calling.
