MARRIAGE LICENSE
NEEDED IN new YORK
Beginning of Year Sees
Law in Force.

NEW YORK, Dec. 27.-(SpeciaD-
Beginning with the New Year, every
couple married in New York must
have a license, which will be the first
time within the memory of any New
Yorker that licenses have been re-
quired preliminary to the marriage
ceremony. No longer will it be pos
sible for the romantic couples, who
after a midnight auto ride, or din
ner party on the Rialto, to decide sud
denly to wake up a parson an dget
married, leaving it to the homefolks
to read the news on the front page of
the newspaper the next morning.
The city clerk has remodeled his
office, and established the matrimon
ial bureau in prominent place in
City Hail. 1t is going to be neces-
sary for both bride and bridegroom
to appear when taking out the license,
but otherwise it will be a very sim
pie matter. This probably marks
the end of the famous Little Church
around the Corner
A fee of one dollar is to be charged
for each license, and at last years
matrimonial rate, this will add about
$4,000 to the local treasury in 1908.

PROPHECIES END
OF WORLD IN 1908
Some of Gloomy Things to
Happen.

YORK, PA, Dec. -(SpeciaD -
Lee J. Spangler whose prophesies
have attracted the attention of people
all over the world, has issued his
1903 bulletin 1t is more startling
than some of those previously issued
for he announces that the world will
come to an end.
Spangler has made many prophe
sizes. One of his most recent was the
prediction of the Wall street trou-
bles and the suicide of banker
Some time ago he issued a state
ment in which he asserted that the
United States would go to war and
would be victorious; that it would
ride the sea with its vessels and be
supreme on the high waters, and that
all the nations would be involved in
the coming war The following is
his last bulletin over his signature:
THE Treasury will go dry.
People will carry their money in
their pockets and hide it in their
houses.
Families will steal it from one an
other. This is the gold that is piled
up for the last days. This gold will
be rust in your pockets. 1t will give
you more trouble than good.
Labor organizations will come
under one head and rule the land.
There will be great wrath among
the people; hatred; killing one ano-
Their; hanging themselves, and child
rem will rise aginst their parents, two
against three and three against two;
mother-in-law against daughter-in-
law.
"AlT plaques that are written in the
Bible will be brought forth. The
land will be full of lice, frogs, crick-
cts and locusts. Whosoever will be
stung of these locusts will die.
There will be no signs in the sun,
in the moon and in the stars.
"In the end of time the sun will
be black and the land will be in dark
ness. The moon will be as blood, the
stars will fall and the heavens will
be shaken.
This coming summer and fall the
elect, the saints, will be gathered to-
gether. For unto Jesus shall the
gathering be- The Bride is getting
ready to meet Jesus, the Bridegroom,
and we will be changed in the twink
ling of an eye and see the Lord in
the air"

BIG NEW YEARS
CELEBRATION IN N. Y

NEW YORK, Dec. 27.-(SpeciaD-
Ring out the old, ring in the new"
is the signal for tremendous cele-
bration in New York, and the police
have made arrangements to keep
order in the crowd that will turn out
on Tuesday night to welcome the New
Year. No occasion, except the cele-
bration of a Presidential election
calls forth the enthusiasm that is
demonstrated on New Years eve.
The principal streets are packed with
a seething mass of people, equipped
with horns, bells, whistles or any,
thing that will make a noise, and for
several hours, traffic is blocked and
the city is given over completely to
the New Year jewellers. OF course,
Broadway is the center of activity,
between Fourteenth street and Times
Square, and every restaurant and
cafe is taxed to it's capacity, while
the fashionable hotels reserve tables
far in advance at a big premium. For
two hours before midnight, the big
crowd marches up and down Broad
way, singing, shouting and dancing,
and while the police are on every
hand, to protect the crowd against
pickpockets and ruf1ians, still for
the most part the celebration is given
a free rein and the New Year gets
a royal welcome.

INSURANCE COS.
QUIT WISCONSIN

MILWAUKEE,, WIS, Dec. 81
(SpeciaD IA majority of the big in
surance companies doing business in
Wisconsin have concluded arrange
ments to quit the State as a result of
the new insurance laws which are
to become operative January first
The chief objection to the new laws
is the provision affecting the actuarial
phase of the insurance question.
Some penalties are also offending,
while a provision requiring COM
panies to send their policy holders
the detailed statement of the source
of their earnings and the nature of
their expenses is regarded as i'm
possible to comply with.
The penalties provided for a viola
ton of the law are $4,000 for the
company and $1,000 for the agent,
and the section special provides for
payment, even if the law is violated
in ignorance or by misconstruction.
The fines provide for punishment for
the writing of policy not strictly
conformable with all the laws. The
companies that have decided to with
draw their business in preference to
conforming to the new law are carry
ing nearly $100,00O,OOO of insurance
in Wisconsin.

BOOSTING ROOSEVELT

Instead of giving up his self-ap-
pointed job of saving the people, as
he announced, he was going to do
when he secured control of Bay State
Gas, Lawson is going to go to even
greater lengths
From news dispatches sent out from
New York, the Boston man is on the
eve of forming a new political party
to run Roosevelt for President no
lens, volens. Gov. Johnson of Min
nesota, is slated as Reoseyelt's run
ming mate.
The job which Lawson is reported
to have tackled is the largest he has
undertaken in the political world.
But if he is really going to do what
report credits him with, Lawson will
no doubt scatter some of his coin, for
which a certain class of politicians
will be eager bidders.
The position which Lawson is Gre
dited with taking is that Roose-
welt should be compelled by the peo-
pie to complete the job he has com
menced, "the rescue of the country
from the wholesale thieves of Wall
| street"
1t is nearly a year before the cleo
ton of a President and in that time
much can be accomplished by the
use of unlimited capital. Party ties
are not as close-fitting as they once
were and such a task as Mr.. Lawson
is said to have in mind is not the i'm
possible one it could have been a
few years ago.
Nevertheless the chances of lining
up 100000 voters in new party
is a herculean one, and even the in
defatigable Lawson could hardly ac-
complish such a miracle Still, the
attempt would give very spicy flavor
to the campaign. On with the
dance.
