THE STATE OF OHIO
Puts a Quietus To the Quick Wed
ding Business,

The General Assembly Of the
State of Ohio has put a stop to
young people from West Virginia
hiking into that State by crossing
fhe muddy waters of the old Ohio
and getting married. At it's re-
cent session the assembly enacted
a law which knocks prospective
weddings without the consent of
parents or guardian skyhigh.
A lazy has been enacted which
makes it compulsory for girl
who is to be married to be a resi-
dent of the county at least sixty
days. No excuse will be taken
and the young man making APP
plication for a marriage license
at the County Clerks at st.
Gainesville will hereafter have to
produce convincing proof that
the girl Of his heart is a resident
of the county of Belmont, and has
been for sixty days or more.
For years past st. ClairSville
has been a mecca for young peo-
pie residing in Wheeling and vi
cinity who desired to get married
without the knowledge of rela-
tiveS or friends. 1t was an easy
matter to secure buggy with a
prancing steed, go skimmering
over the dusty pike to st. Glars
vile, secure the license, hunt up
a preacher and return to Wheel
ing as man and wife, much to the
surprise of parents and friends.
This is now a thing Of the past,
and what the lOvesick ones will
do is a matter Of conjecture. The
fint-hearted members of the Ohio
Legislature surely must never
have been in love or they would
not have played such havoc with
the feelings of lovelOrn maids
and youths of West Virginia.
1t has been an established custom,
this trip to st. Clairsville, with a
wedding at the end, but now
will be numbered with the things
that have been.
The authorities of Ohio did not
even wait until the bill had been
passed and made a law by the
assembly adjourned the county
officials throughout the State
were notified to observe it.

''Hamlet.''

Few plays are more welcome than
"Halnlet' which will be seen at the
Gennett Theatre next Friday evening
with Edward N. Hoyt in the leading
role. Though closely following the
traditional lines of "Hamlet" in his
impersonation, Mr.. Hoyt finds that
he is compelled, at times, to depart
from the beaten tracks and thow
side-lights or original treatment up
on several of the situations and cpl
sodes of the play. Whatever he does,
Hoyt is true to art, though he may
not at all times, evince so absorbing
a respect for old methods as some
of the old timers might desire. The
support is up to the standard of mer-
it set by the firm of W. j. Hanley
& Co., who have directed the tour Of
Robert B. Mantell for the past seven
seasons. They have a long contract
with their new star expectations re-
allied. All the special scenery and
effects are carried. II

comedy to season it so that there isn't
dull moment in the entire perform

they appeared exceptionally well-far

Dumas Love for His Porthos.
Like Balzac, Dumas was fond of his
own creations. Among them all he
loved Porthos best. The great, strong,
vain hero was a child after his own
heart. One afternoon, it is related, his
son found Dumas careworn, wretched,
overwhelmed.
What has happened to you? Are
YOU sick?" asked Dumas fills.
NO" replied Dumas pere.
well, what is it, then?
Il am miserable"
"Why?"
"This morning killed Porthos.
Poor Porthos! Oh, what trouble

it! But there must be an end to all
things. Yet when l saw him sink

Gar Arrested-For a Minute.

Motorists will be amused to hear OF
an adventure which befell the cZar
when he was staying at Darmstadt
short time ago. The czar was driving
in a motor car with Prince and Prin-
cess Henry of Prussia and the Grand
Duke of Hesse, and, when passing
through Bockenheim, suburb of
Frankfort the car slipped on the
greasy cobble-stones and came in con-
tact with the wall of house. Happily
no harm was done, but the car had
hardly been backed into the road again
when a policeman stopped it and de-
manded the name of the owner. The
car replied 81 am the Emperor of
Russia" and the policeman was so
taken aback that he let the car go on
without taking any further steps. The
cZarina was much amused at the in
cident, and it is said that she has
made the momentary arrest of the
czar the subject of one Of her carica-
tures.-London Sketch.

who on taking leave of a French
friend, said, eau reservoir" instead Of
