THIS IS LAST
DAY OF GRACE
MARRIAGE LICENSE LAW IN
EFFECT TOMORROW
REQUIRES JOINT APPLICATION
Rush Of Prospective Bridegrooms in
Closing Days Has Been Tremen-
dous, over Hundred Licenses
Being Issued

Today is the last day of grace in the
marriage license department and an
extra force of clerks will pe on duty
issuing the overflow certificates TO
prospective grooms for their prospec-
tive yet blushing brides.
The recent law passed by the state
legislature requiring that on and after
the 18th day of May all men desiring
a marriage certificate, or all women
desiring the same necessary document,
must be accompanied by the other con-
tracing party, upon appearance in the
county clerks office, will go into eff
feet Thursday morning.
Immediately following the passage of
the law there came a rush on the CAL
ifornia marriage market that would
have compared favorably with the
rush of the settlers of old, who took
chances in buying a wife for her
weight in tobacco.
From every point of the compass
residents in Los Angeles county have
been crowdng the marriage license Of
flee, and two clerks have been kept
constantly at work making out the
documents
Young men, old men, blind men and
some men minus legs and arms have
been among the applicants, and wo-
men who have lacked chances since
the year 1 have been snapped up by
farmers who have been affected by
the marrying fever.
Rush Becomes Heavier
Since the time of grace narrowed
down to the past few days the rush
became heavier, and more than 100
marriage licenses have been issued in
the last three court house days.
An old soldier was among the recent
applicants. The old man was celebrat-
ing from a recent state of hilarity,
and was sent away until he could
straighten up. When he returned a
few days later and made application,
all went we'll until it came to paying
for the license.
When the necessary 50 fee was de-
manded, the old man put on woeful

MUSIC AND
THE DRAMA
The KnelseI Quartet

1t is a rare privilege to enjoy anything
that is perfection and evidently Los
Angeles music lovers understood that
the Kneisel quartet would present a
memorable program, for a good sized
audience assembled last evening in
Simpson auditorium. Even though the
four men who We're formerly soloists
in the Boston Symphony orchestra have
won wide fame by their concert work,
it is difficult to believe that quartet
can achieve such wonderful effects as
those produced in the Interpretation of
the half dozen numbers played last
evening.
Beginning with the Beethoven quar-
tet in b fiat minor the Kneisel quar-
tet instantly proved its right to the
foremost rank of musical attainment.
such perfect attack, such exquisite
breadth Of tone and such delicacy of
shading have been rarely heard on the
concert stage. Although the Kneisel
organization made a visit to California
six years ago, even those who heard 1t
on the occasion of its former appear
ance in Los Angeles experienced de-
lighted surprise as the various move
ments of the Beethoven number fol-
lowed one another, The quartet has
something more than technique. sehol-
arly knowledge and a marvellous feel

to have the poetic gift. They find
the soul of the music. Franz Kneisel,
who plays first violin. and Alvin

tunities TO reveal their individual at
tainments as artists. but Louis Svec-

In explaining how it was done, Ma

1.-The Second Mrs. Tanqueray" is the
great modern triumph in dramatic
form. It's imperfections, it's limita-
tions, are the limitations, as William
Archer says, of the form itself, not
the limitations of this perfect example
of the neutrality-suspicious. drama.
Before this triumph of Arthur Wing
Pinero's, such fine shading, such Won
derful gradations of thought were not
shown that what, in analysis and char
acteriza ton, the master novelist can
do the playwright can put on the stage,
and however crushing the tragedy of
the drama, however cruel it's iron
moralities, it will last as long as Eng
lish lasts, typical nineteenth century
output.
1t is not the old story of the courte-
san in love that was told last night,
but the more tragic bodying forth of a
reversal, the mistress raised to the dig
nifty of wife, her past continually ris-
ing up to darkly color her present and
in her final VAIN longing to win the
pure love of her husbands child, prov
ing her ultimate tragedy.
Miss Anglin's Paula is a hysterical
creature. She strikes her highest note
at these emotional moments. But her
Paula, as a whole, is not Pinero's low
able, contradictory, brilliant, pitiful
creature.
In the first act we feel that Worth
ings Tanqueray would have found no
charm in this blooming woman of loud
tints and charms who looks what
she is.
In the final acts her work deepens
and strengthens into serious creation
which aroused the audience. But Miss
Anglin is not yet able to touch Pinero's
masterpiece.
The support is excellent. Worthing's
Tanqueray is a nervous, over-aesthetic
creature the author would not have
recognized. but it is a consistent crea-
tion Of marked cleverness.
The other honors go to Mrs. Whiffen
and Miss Valentine. The latter's Ell
lean was very charming. Arthur Law
renee. as Cayley Drummle. ruined a
great part. He chewed his sentence
endings and consistently missed every
opportunity.

Delays Are Dangerous

Many diseases are so deceptive that
hundreds of persons have them before
they even suspect It. They know they
are not well, but are perfectly Ignorant
of the deadly fangs which are fasten-
ing upon them, and must sooner or
later destroy them unless rescued by a
skillful hand. Are you afflicted?
Your case may now be perfectly
curable, but remember every moment
of neglect brings you nearer Its IN
durable stages, when, perhaps, the
most skillful physician can render you
no assistance. The present Is ours
The future may be TOO LATE.

GAS Law CRISIS NEAR.
Fate of Investigation Resolution
VIII Be Decided Tuesdag.
rBY rELEoRAPE ro zee TR1nuNr.l


Albany, March 12-After encumberng the whole
of the present session with ramihcatons and com
plications which have resulted in complete dead
lock in legislation the gas is last to reach
climax on Tuesday. Then the Page resolution call
ing for legislative investigation of the gas stua-
ton in New-York City will either be adopted or
beaten. In the latter the fight will probably
be resumed, possibly at a special session If on
the other hand it is passed then it will be possible
Tor the legislature to get down to the serious tax
problems now ready, for In point of fact the con-
gestioD the calendars is as to make speedy
activity necessary If the session is to before
May l.
On the probable outcome of the contest on Tues
day over the Page resolution. speculation is already
rife The plain fact that while twenty-sx of the
Republican total OF thrty-six votes in the Senate
must be had to pass any gas legislation at the
present moment only twenty are absolutely as
sured. In addition. however there are seven more
votes that present indications seem to put in the
column OF the majority. Senators Brown Burr
Barnes. Cobb. Davis. McEwan and Prime All are
fairly likely to be found voting for the legislation
favored by Governor Higgins when the crisis comes.
On the other side OF the question there are nine
Senators who have already received the distinguish
ing title Of ''McCarren Republicans" These are
Amber Cassidy, Coggeshan. Fechter. LHomme-
dieu and Wilcox. and the three Brooklyn Senators
Drescher, Cooper and Gardner.
The last week has seen number of direct and
sensational charges Of bribery made and prices for
votes have been quoted in press dispatches after
the fashion of stock quotations from 1.-The Street.
me real truth is that while the element of suspi-
cion has been present at all times not one Of the
-nIty senators wears price tag, and the slender
Unread on which itemized charges are based is
maze the more apparent because there has seldom
been legislature in which a more careful watch
has been kept for the purpose of detecting
corruption, and the slightest evidence would have
inevitably resulted in a public exposure But as
yet despite all suspicious the Scotch verdict is tbA
only one possible. There has been gas money in
Albany. every one knows that. 1t has been offered
