New Departure.

Romance has received a---eadly blow.
The little church around the cotuer,"
in New York. has turneU lis back IN IL.
Hereafter lovers pursuVa by Angry
papas; overnight acquaintance smit-
ten heavily by Cupid ) darts; rough and
tumble tacklers of matrimony without
previous training for the ordeal; in
fact, all unconventional persons, who
want TO have the knot tied with as lit
tie ceremony as possible, will have to
hunt another Gretna Green.
DR.. George Clark Houghton, the
rector, who succeeded his uncle at the
Church of the TRANSPORTATION, has
laid down the law. The game is too
strenuous for DR.. Houghton, and, in
the language Of the stage. he cuts it
out.
This is official, for he has published
il in the Kalendar, the monthly paper
of the church. Here is what he says:
This autumn has brought me grea,
many experiences and among them a
large number OF weddings. which have
been obliged to decline, because | did
not know the parties. Ii is necessary
that | should know the people who
come before marriage, or they must
be vouched for by persons whom |
know, and they must have acceptable
witnesses. There is limit to the in.
depreciation of charity, and | limit
secret marriages and marriages un.
supported by family recognition"
"The little church around the cor.
ner' has been famous for years as n
place where any person pming for
matrimony could get the knot tied
without more bother than was legally
necessary, \ great many theatrical
people rc>orted there for that purpose
and il came to be looked upon as the
especial church Of the theatrical pro.
fession.

SPURN RHODES GAIT
German Students Unwilling to Ac-
cept Scholarships at Oxford.
Plans BeinE Laid for the Distribution
of the Two Hundred SECULAR
ships ia the Inited states
and british Colonies.

A commission appointed by Emperor
William, consisting of DIR. Friedrich
Schmidt, of the ministry of education
of Germany, and Prof. Kielhorne, has
been at oxford making inquiries as to
the arrangements for the reception
of scholars from Germany, under the
will of the late Cecil Rhodes. There
are constantly increasing signs that it
will be difficult to find German stu
dents of the best types who are will
ing TO accept the scholarships. The
German hatred of the English seems
a. strong among students as in other
classes. 1t was recently resolved at
q representative meeting of all the
German university corps or dueling
clubs, which was held at kosen, that
the members of these corporations
should have nothing TO do with the
Rhodes scholarships. Anyone with a
knowledge of German universities vii
appreciate what tbs means.
DR.. George r. Parkin, the commits
siouer who is charged with the dis
tribulion of the Cecil Rhodes scholar
ships in the British colonies and the
United States, has returned TO Amer
lea from England. There are some
200 scholarships To be distributed in
the states and colonies" said DR.. Park.

II have been at oxford for several
weeks trying to get the wishes of the
oxford authorities as to the manner
OF distribution. There are Il college.

ar,hips as are awarded Il to come un
der its own peculiar rules of entrance

sulting with the leading educators OF
the states and colonies as to the hes,
methods of selecting candidates for
the various scholarships. Each OF
these scholarships carries with il
$500 year for three years, and il i,
an interesting question just wha
classes of men are going to apply fol

WANTS KISSING STOPPED.
Requiring Physicians Certificate
Before ejaculation Is PERM TIT ed.

In the Virginia house of delegates
the other day DR.. K. i. Ware. a prac-
ticing physician, introduced a bill to
make promiscuous kissing misde-
meanor. It is the first measure he has
presented except by request. The act
reads in part as follows:
whereas. kissing has been decided
by the medical profession to be a
medium by which contagious and in
fictitious diseases are transmitted
from one person to another; therefore,
be it enacted by the general assem-
bly, of Virginia that it shall be unlaw-
full for any person to kiss another I'M
less he can prove by his family physi-
clan that he hasn't any contagious or
infectious disease"
Violators of the proposed law will
be fined not less than one dollar nor
more than five dollars for each offense.

The German Fleet society, to which

through the society's monthly publ
cation, statement of the considera-

The communication deals with Ger

sibilities. 1t does not contain the least
trace of iingoism, but concludes with
a carefully phrased paragraph saying
that 'Hermans must make mp their
minds whether the business already
created shall be protected and extend
ed or permitted to anguish. If the
former alternative is accepted the navy
