The attention of New York state
cergymen is called to tho law passed al
makes it unlawful for a girl under Is
years of age to marry in the state, with
or without the consent OF the parents. In
the future the registrar of vital statistics
will be obliged to refuse record to such
marriages and cergymen and contract
ing parties will find themselves in en-
barassing predicaments. The revenue
of some of the jamestown ministers is
also likely to be somew hat curtailed from
this section on account of this rather
stringent statute.

"A terpsichorean maestro announces
that the jig, in dancing, is to again become
fashionable. The goose-like movements
of the two or three-step as the case may
be, are to he supplanted by the good old
fashioned jig-the jig that makes young
people neat, graceful and quick in their
footwork. Modern dancing tends to

death an operation had been performed
in the hope of saving her life, but her
physicians, Drs. Dunn and Detar, found
such complication of trouble that they
had small hope of the child's recovery,
although she rallied we'll from the opera
ton and for time the symptoms seemed
quite favorable. The child was aged IL
years, aud was bright, winsome and
lOvable little girl, who had endeared her
self to all who knew her, and the neigh

has overtaken the fond parents in her
taking away. Funela al sci vices were con-
