New Law for Marriage.
The new law introduces an important
innovation in the form of civil marriage,
designed for the sects having no clergy,
but of which non-members can easily

of a civil ceremony, have lived together

from the Roman Catholic church, whose
numbers are rapidly growing on the Ger

The Universities of st. Petersburg and
Kazan, two of the most important in
Russia, were closed last night by order
of their faculty councils on account of
the violation by students of the stipula-
ton that open political meetings should
not be held within the college precincts.
