.PAWNED RECORD
OF MARRIAGE
Mrs. Matte MCVeieh Said Her
Husband Disposed Of the
Certificate
He WAS HELD FOR COURT

That her husband had pawned their
marriage certificate was the singular
assertion made by Mrs. Matte Nc
Weigh in City Court this morning, when
she charged with non-support the hus-
band, John McVeigh.
In giving her testimony against her
husband Mrs. McVeigh stated that al
though he had been making good wages
lat the barbering business for several
weeks past he had given her but 81 a
week on. which to run the household
and provide food for herself and her
two children. Frequently, she said, he
gave her but five or ten cents a day
to buy provisions and he was addicted
TO drink to such an extent that he
did not make an attempt to look after
the welfare of his home and family.
Assistant City Solicitor Satterth-
waite inquired OF Mrs. McVeigh how
long she had been married to Nc
Weigh and she replied that IL had been
so long ago that she had almost for
gotten the date.
Were you ever married 70 him." ask
ed. Mr.. Satterthwaite
Il certainly was" replied the witness
Where is your marriage certificate"
was the next question asked by the AS
sistant City Solicitor
"Oh," answered the wife, "he pawn
ed that long ago. He and 1 have been
married about nine years to the best
of my knowledge"
Howell S. England, representing the
defendant, attempted to prove by Nc
Weigh that he had contributed to the
support of his family but in rebuttal
Mrs. Mary Cannon, a neighbor, testi-
ged that she had frequently given Mrs
McVeigh and her children things to
eat.
In holding the defendant in $500 bail
for the Upper Court Judge Joslyn said
that he was somewhat familiar with
the circumstances, as he had known
McVeigh for many years.

An Ancient Irish Custom.

In the district known as "the barony
of Forth" In County Wexford, Ireland,
is to be found a race of Woodworking.
Industrious peasants living In matched
cottages with clean, whitewashed walls
which by their perfect wilderness at
once arrest the attention of the visitor.
These people differ in many respects
from the inhabitants of the other parts
of the same county and have habits
and customs peculiar to themselves.
When a funeral takes place two wood
en- crosses are provided. On the way
to the cemetery a halt Is made at a
certain spot by the side of the road
Here prayers are said for the deceased
after which one cross Is deposited In d
hawthorn bush or under 1t. The pro
cession then goes on It's way. and after
the interment the other cross Is fixed
at the head Of the grave. This strange
custom dates from time immemorial
as the great pile of crosses by the road
side indicates.
