JURISDICTION OF JUSTICES OF
 TIE PEACE UNDER THE CODE

Montgomery May 15.-(Special)- an opinion given to Governor Conner with regard to jurisdiction of justices of the peace, Attorney General Garber holds that they have authority over offenses de- find in section 6733 of the code, local laws to the contrary notwithstanding. He says:
 ter that some doubt has arisen as to the correct interpretation of the above sec- tion of the code on account of the follow ing provision contained in section 10 of the new code, which is as follows: Lo- cal, private or special statutes |. are not repealed by this code
 ''It is my judgment that this provision should be construed to mean that all local, private or special statutes shall continue in force, unless expressly repealed by the code.
 We gather from the face of section 6733 of the code the clear and manifest intention of the legislature. After de- fining the jurisdiction of justices of the peace in their respective counties, in di- rect and positive terms, it is provided that all local or special laws in conflict herewith are expressly repealed
 T hold, therefore, and so advise you, that justices of the peace have jurisdic- tion over -offenses as defined in section 67y3 of the new code, and said section must control although there may be local or special laws, passed by the legisla- ture prior to the adoption of the code, which are in conflict with the provisions of this section.''

From the Chicago Inter-Ocean.
 When is bride?
 On wager that he would be the first to kiss the bride, James Carroll, 5607 San gamon street, almost broke up the we'd ding of Edward Carey, 5SS West Thir teenth street, and Miss Jennie Bolan, Il De Kalb street. on Saturday
 While MT. Carey and Miss Bolan stood before the altar at St. Jarlath's Church, and Father Kenney, the pastor. was in the midst of the wedding ceremony, Car roll leaped from a front pew, threw his arms around the young woman's neck and kissed her before the eyes of the as- tonished crowd that filled the church.
 The bet was with the bridegroom. and was for a months flat rent. But Carey refused to pay the wager. He declared Carrols wild escapade and kiss came at least 30 seconds before Miss Bolan became a bride.
 The affair was as exciting as the ques- ton it had raised. The priest had reached that portion of the wedding Ser- vice where he had ordered the bridegroom to place the ring upon his affianced's fin- ger Miss Bolan had removed her white glove, and Carey was fitting the circle of gold upon her haud, when Carroll threw the wedding party into confusion by his daring act The priest was dumfounded. The bridegroom was petrified. The bri- or that is Miss Bolan-wrenched herself free and turned frightened face upon Carroll.

 Then, in the midst of the confusion, he explained to the priest.
 ''It was a bet, father" he said. q bet Carey I would kiss the bride first, and l win"
 NO, you don't" said Carey. she's not bride yet
 Father Kenney finished the ceremony amid great good humor and laughter. When he had pronounced Carey and Miss Bolan man and wife Carey took the girl s face in his hands and kissed her.
