MARRIAGE LICENSED. H. and Sub
scriber, City During the recent session
of the Legislature OF California an at
tempt was made to have a law passed re-
uuiring that at least one Of the contract
ing parties to a marriage should be res
ident of the county in which the license
was to be applied for. with the idea that
that would prevent elopements, but 1t
failed to pass. There was a change in
the law, which was approved by the
Governor, and this provides that ''all per-
sons about to be Joined In marriage must
first obtain a license from the County
Clerk of the county in which the mar
rage is to be celebrated and upon oath
must answer questions for the purpose of
establishing the identity Of the parties,
their real and full names, their places of
residence and their ages" In order that
the County Clerk may obtain this infor-
nation each of the contracting parties
must appear before him at the time OF
applying for the license 30 that he may
administer the necessary oath to each.
The law does not require that either
party shall be q resident of the county
wherein the application for license is
made. for the reason that it would pre-
vent from marrying in California. say,
