Tho new ruling of the County
Register Of Allegheny county with re-
gard TO the obtaining of license presents
to the speculative mind the question
whether it is intended as an obstruction
to matrimony or as preliminary test
of the fitness Of the aspirants. Hereto
fore it has been supposed that to comply
with the requirements of the law it was
sufficient for one of them to appear at
the license clerks desk to swear and to
foresweaf, and to obtain the needed
document. Presumably the groom was
the proper person to discharge this
function, but in cases where he lacked
nerve or the price Of the license the
bride has been known to mean business
and get the document. But now it is
ruled that both together must appear
and make affidavit, failing which you
shall not get married unless you side
step the edict by trip to Ohio or West
Virginia.
