1t appears that the publication of

long before there was any general
law on the subject, since Gregory w

given out in church, according to Gus

France about the ninth century. and
In 1176 was enforced in the diocese
Of Paris.
The earliest enactment on the SUBJ

the synod Of Westminster in 1900 to
the effect that no marriage should be
celebrated till the banns had been
published In the church on three sew
eral Sundays or feast days. This rule
was made obligatory throughout the
church by the fourth Lateran council.

is NOT
FAR AWAY
PASSING OF THE GRAND ARMY
OF THE REPUBLIC FROM
THE STAGE OF ACTION.
Cannot Be Recruited from Descend
ants Of It's original Members Nor
from Any Source Save one-Dis-
banding Of New Jersey Post En-
phasizins the Coming Elimination.

The recent disbanding OF a post Of
the Grand Army Of the Republic at
Gloucester, N. j., because of the dwin-
ding away Of its membership has
served as a vital reminder to many an
old veteran of the civil war that the
time is not far distant when the great
order must pass away, says the Phila-
delphia Record. Unlike most organi-
cations of its kind the Grand Army Of
the Republic cannot be recruited from
the descendants of its original mem
bers or from any source save one
which Is constantly shrinking. None
but soldiers, sailors and marines who
fought in the civil war are eligible, and
when all of this dwindling host, surviv-
ors of a conflict which ended forty
years ago, shall have answered the
last roll call, no others ear take their
places.
The Grand Army Of the Republic
was started in 1866, the first post be-
ing organized at Decatur, ILL.,, in April
of that year by Major B. F. Stephen
sen and Captain John S. Philips, but
it's growth was not at first rapid. 1t
was not until more than ten years la
ter that General Grant became a mem
Der, being mustered into George G.
Meade Post, No. /, of this city by Post
Commander George w. Devinny. The
maximum membership was reached in
1890, when it was 4O9,4s9. For the
last fifteen years it has been steadily
decreasing; not only this, but the rate
of decrease has steadily grown.
The annual death rate among mem
bers of the order in 1886 was ninety
three in every 10000. Today, having
gone up steadily through the interven-
ing years, it is 1852 in every 10000. In
1894 the membership of the national
body had fallen to 1863 ,O83; a loss,
since the period Of maximum member
ship, Of about 10000 a year. In 1904,
according to the last annual report
made at the encampment in Boston
last year, the membership was 24s,-
|261, showing a loss since 1894 of more
than 10000 a year. The figures for the
membership to the Department Of
Pennsylvania for the last ten years
are. 1894. 44,101; 1895. 36,S76; 1896.
35,141; 1897, 1929; 1898. 3O,9s7;
1899, 2s.937; 1900, 1904; 1901, 27.576;
1892, 26,6Os; 1903, 25,763; 1904, 25,-
1853. Philadelphia's membership is
now about 5000. The separate posts
now number 6,149, Of which 524 are in
Pennsylvania and thirty-six in this
city. Employed in the various govern
ment departments in Washington at
the time Of the last annual report were
2,175 members of the order of whom
226 are over 70 years of age. 1877 be-
tween 65 and 70 years and 1888 be-
tween 5s and 65 years.
But If the Grand Army Of the Re-
public must, from the conditions set
forth, soon cease to exist, 1t will be re-
membered by at least one Of the in
situations which have sprung from 1t.
This is the Sons of Veterans, which Is
composed of the u.rect descendants
of men who were eligible to member
ship in the Grand Army Of the Repub-
lie, and on the growth of which the

cost about 81, $50.
