RESTRICTIONS ON MARRIAGE.

Some states are stern in their decision
as to whom one may marry. Marriage
among whites and persons of negro de-
scent is prohibited in twenty-six states.
Marriage between whites and Indians
is prohibited in four States and whites
and Chinese in five states. In Virginia
provision of old English common law
is still in force, which prohibits man
from marrying his deceased wifes
sister, though other States have laws
permitting woman to marry any and
all of her brothers in-law who may be
willing, provided of course, she marries
them one at time. Connecticut for
bids feeble minded women to marry.
New Jersey decides that as the deaf and
dumb do not come under the head of
imbeciles, they may marry within her
borders. The lawmakers of Vermont
have gravely ruled that man may
marry his mother-in-law if he likes.
In some States man is prohibited from
marrying his sons wife, and woman
from marrying her daughters husband.
Ohio forbids the marriage of a drunkard,
and will refuse to grant license to a
man who is drunk at the time he asks
for it.

PROPOSED TO EXTEND
 NEGROES LICENSES
Cornell To Consider Permitting Them To Continue Business Till January
 1 At Special Session.

Will negroes sell whiskey until Jan uary I? Is question which the Coun- ell, previously having declined them licenses. will consider tonight.
 By a special call of the Council to assemble at o'clock this evening the aldermen will hear arguments for and against continuance of liuuor H. -censes held by negroes until the first of the next calendar year. when theig. State and Federal licenses will expire. If the licenses are extended the new Council will have authority to termf- nate or iengthen the terms of their licenses.
 According to the cali last night H. censes are to be considered, but it is understood that the call directly af- fects only the several licenses request ed by negroes to sell liquors by retail. Other matters. by unanimous consent and suspension of the rules, may be offered.
 g It is expected that the negroes ii- censes will be extended to the first of the next calendar year. It is said that not only the petitioners, who are pro- prietors of the saloons, but many mer- chants of Montgomery. signed their pe- titions.

 Made Es only Partly True.
 It may be that so7nc persons will be Inclined to doubt tho statement made by Ian eminent authority, at a recent meeting, that with mixture of dan sdelion. kargon and sarsaparflia, he would give prompt relief to any saf- ferer of rheumatism. or the usual forms of backacfle. caused by inactfve. clogged kidneys. yet many cases of long standing that had been entirely relieved were cited to prove the truth of his assertion. The same authority further stated that many cases which failed to yield to the healing waters of the famous health resorts, or the usual remedies as prescribed. salicyIate of soda. potash. colchicum, etc.--were readily relieved by the use of this simple mixtures: Fluid Extract Dande- lion, one-halfounce; Compound Kargon, one ounce, Compound Syrup Sarsapa. rilla, three ounces. Take a. teaspoon full dose after meals and at bedtime.
 A well-know druggist, when ap- preached upon the subject, stated that while this prescription, as written, Is new. the ingredients are continually prescribed by the best physicians, and any good prescription pharmacy hes them; they are inexpensive and harm less to use. and are mixed by shaking well in bottle.
 If the claims. made for this mixture. are only partly correct. t would seem that no sufferer here could afford to leave the prescription untried.

The first long distance telephone used 1y s railroad .ss Alabama wsS .z- stalled on the Mobile and Montgomery division of the Louisville and Nash vile yesterday morning. Two phones were put in, one in the office of Chief Train Despatcher Frank Young in the union station and the other in the Gov ernment street office of the road in Mo- bile.

Young In Mobile and hearing with as much distinctness as if 1t were over one of the focal phones instead of 1S1 miles away. These phones will be a great con- venience and win expedite business wonderfully, for while 1t uses one of the telegraph wires 1t does not inter- fere in the slightest with the regular business of that wire.
 Formerly when the morning reports were sent from Mobile into MT. Young g ofiice. most of the other Mobile busi- ness was temporarily suspended. Now the reports can be sent from Mobile over the phone. the regular business going on at the same time just as if there was nothing else happening.
 Four more of these phones will be in- stalled at once--one at Flomaton, one at the local shops of the Louisville and Nashville in North Montgomery, one in the Mobile shops and one in Geor- glaE@
 While nothing definite has been done as yet, 1t is probable that every bag gage car of every through train on the Mobile and Montgomery division will bes equipped with a phone. When this is done no matter how many miles one of these trains is from telegraph station a message can be sent to Mont gomery, Mobile or points along the line.
 With the phones in the baggage cars, all that would have to be done to get connection would be to connect the phone with the wires just a few steps away The convenience of this arrangement to say nothing of the safety to travellers. can readily be seen.
