Chief Magistrate of Baltimore Laughs
When Maryland Law of
1877 Is Cited.

BALTIMORE, May 17.-Robert NJ. Nc
Lane, whose marriage TO Mrs. Van
Bibber in Washington Saturday sur
prised nearly all his friends, appeared
at city hall yesterday morning at IL
O'Clock, having reached the city an hour
previoUs.
Mr.. McLane laughingly expressed con-
Germ over the rumor that he and his
bride are subject to a fine of $10O each
for marrying outside the State without
proper authority.
The city solicitor. at the mayors re-
quest. read this section of the Maryland
statute:
If any person belonging to this State
snail go out of the State and there marry
with any person belonging to this State
without license or publication, each of
the saic parties, on conviction. shall be
fined SIS0"
1t is thought the law, which was

OF PRICES
At BALL GROUNDS
Covered Seats Now 35 Cents and Grand
stand SO Cents-Tuesday and
Friday Ladies' Days.

A popular move has been made by
the Washington baseball club in reduc-
ing the price of seats in the covered and
grand stands. Seats in the covered
stands, which formerly sold for 80 cents,
may now be had for 95 cents.
A half-dollar will from now on be
charged for seats in the grand stand.
with the exception of the first three
rows, for which 70 cents is asked.
The present bleachers proved too
small and often crowds were forced to
stand on the field. This price reduction
will gain many more patrons for the
covered stands, and the bleacherites,
the real rooters, will have an oppor-
tunity 10 sit down and see the game
Today will be ladies' day and tickets
may be had at the gate for the asking.

Chant Will Be Adopted.

Many Catholic priests who know the
Pope and his ideas of the manner in
which Catholic services should be con-
Quoted, said today that there was no
question as TO the Popes intention to
restore the old GregOrian chant He
has made up his miro TO II and will
undoubtedly carr out his purpose
They further say that he will not in
sist In everything being given in the
chant. There are many writings of
Catholic music which are dignified and
wholly in harmony with the spirit of
the services which the Pope will un-
questiOnably retain. These compost
lions do away with the many repetitions
and operate forms Of musical writing
which. in the opinion of the Pope and
many pre3ates Of the church, have done
much TO overshadOW the real purpose
OF the musical form Of Catholic Church
services.

BOOKS IN PRINTERS HANDS
Order May Be Modified to Suit Certain
Churches in Some of the
American Dioceses.

That Pope Plus Y has definitely de-
termined to enforce his order relative
to the use of Gregorian music in all
Catholic church chOirs seems beyond a
doubt, as he has published another letter
stating that the Vatican printing Of
fees will publish liturgical books con-
tanning the chant
Several newspapers have said that a
letter had been received from the Pope
informing American bishops that the
order would be enforced and that. after
the books had been published by the
Vatican printers, publishers of other
countries would be given the privilege
of issuing these works provided said
publishers would guarantee 10 faith
fully reproduce the forms of chant.
Legation in Ignorance.
Nothing Is known at the papal lega>
ton or among the priests of Washing
ton concerning such a letter. 1t was
said at the legation this morning that
a 'motu proprio," as the letter is re-
ferred to, is not an encyclical, but a
sort of personal letter from the Pope
which is published in the Roman papers
and in this way transmitted to Catho-
lies Of the world. Such letters are never
sent to certain bishops" or, in fact,
TO any, but are given to the Roman
press, where all heads Of dioceses may
read.
If such a letter has been given out
Washington pastors know nothing of IL
Neither have they been notified of this
decision Of the Pope.

No Petition Sent.

IT was further announced at the le-
cation today that recently published
statements regarding a petition sent to
Rome through the apostolic delegate
from American bishops asking a modi-
fication of the order were untrue. A
few weeks ago K was said that a pc
tition was sent to the Pope from
number of American bishops who re-
allied the inability Of parishes in GER
tain parts of the United States 10 con-
form to the order. and so had signed
a paper asking the Pope TO grant
leniency in these dioceses.
Many of the bishops, ii was said.
signed the paper in order. to favor
Cardinal Gibbons, Archbishop Williams
of Boston. and several other bishops
whose respective dioceses included cities
where ii would be most difficult to carry
out the order.
The petition did not go through the
hands of the apostolic delegate II 1t
went at all.

Old Fashioned Pole.
From The Indianapolis Ne,os.

Mrs Louisa A. Wright of 7i2 North Senate
avenue has Just returned from the Kankakee
River where she gained the reputation Of
having caught more fish than any one in
LaPorte county. This in Itself may not seem
such strange thing. but one must take into
considera ton that. ms she expresses il, she
is only child of 80 years During Mrs
Wrichts outing she celebrated her eightieth
birthday with a party and IA fish fry. She
is a remarkably well preserved wonrn and
does not appear to be more than 6Oyegrs old,
In speaking of her experiences to-day. she
said YES. I gained the reputation OF being
the best fisherman on the stream. and he
levei earned It, Why. the men IN the
party, MIR. Kerr and Frank Burton and Henry
Smith and others. gave UP in despair and re-
fused to fish near me-said the fish wouldn' Z
pay any more attention TO them than an ele-

agents and were glad to get posts in som
orchestra. If every man who had young
Guhlka's experience committed suicide
there would not be many violinists left
The numl er of pianists who disappont
the expectations Of their friends Is just as
great as that of the violinists, and there
are as many singers as either.
@One lesson ought to lie drawn from this
case, said the musician to whom The sun
reporter was talking, land that is the inn
portance Of keeping young musicians IN
this country.
There are very few talents 30 remark
able that they have to be taken to urope
for cultivation. The average musician
can do very well here.
I'll admit that with some rare talents
il may lie necessary or at all events ad-
vantageous for them to go a. road for
final study. But nine out Of every ten
young Americans who 60 az road TO study
the piano or the violin could do just as
we'll here. The same is true in measure
OF the American singers who do not expect
to make operate careers.
In studying here there is economy, and
il IL posi- lie to keep an idea OF what prog
ress a pupil is making. There are none OF
those rose colored reports OF greatness that
come from EUROPE and make the failure SO
much more difficult to Lear when it comes.
-The violinist may he disappointed in
his ami itions here, Iut he Is always a lie to
earn good income; and there ought to lie
enough satisfaction in that to keep him
from committing suicide"

all proper recreation and outdoor life, II
1t were not for the physical instruction they
receive.
1.-THE majority of women come to college
In need Of general building up. / give
them a certain amount OF body building
work at first, and then a little later, If they
need them, special and corrective exercises.
One OF the first things teach them is to
stand correctly and to walk easily, so that
they do not waste energy, but put every
bit of necessary exertion to the best ad-
vantage.
my great aim is to make the girls thor
oughly enjoy their work and see the use
of it. There Is nothing more important
than to make the pupils thoroughly happy
in their gymnastics, SO that they will enter
into 1t heart and soul. For this reason like
to have mutic accompany the exercises.
Il do not mean that certain exercises
should be given simply because they are
pleasant We never make a single move
rnent unless there is some purpose In that
movement. By letting pupil know just
what 1t Is she is accomplishing through
certain exercises 1t is always possible to
keep her interested in practising It.
Il find that one Of the best ways In which
to make the girls thoroughly enjoy their
gymnastic work is to give them a little
free time out Of each class-six or eight
minutes in which to do as they please
Sometimes they will practise fancy dance
steps, but they are particularly fond OF
having a game in these few minutes.
Certain forms OF tag are popular. also
games with a small ball or with the large
basketball. Prisoners base is always pop
ular with the girls.
TOO old to enjoy such games? No
