FRENCH IN MOROCCO.
Socialist Leader Demands Explanation
 of Frances Position.

Paris, February 10.-The demand made in the chamber of deputies today by M. Jaures, the socialist leader, for another explanation from the government of Its Moroccan policy. did not result in the ex- citement that had been anticipated. In fact the incident passed off very quietly In reply to M. Jaures, Foreign Minister Pichon announced that Germany had am swered the protests of Abd-el-Aziz, and Mulai Iafid against the presence of French troops in Morocco by saying that France was not violating the Algeciras act and that the two Moroccan sultans should address themselves to all the pow CTS that signed that act, and not to Germany alone. An investigation made by the French government showed that the protest of Abd-el-Aziz was verbal, and that it had reached Germany through the German consulate at Rabat. Consequent ly the importance of the protest was diminished. Furthermore, the government board Of Morocco had told France it had no complaint to make. In conclusion, NJ Pichon appealed to the chamber patfi- oticaIly to support the government in a most difficult problem, the pacification of Morocco. The appeal of the minister was greeted with applause. and the incident came to an end.

 sThe relation of the physician to mar riage and it's results, seems too import ant. too powerful, too far reaching tO be discussed in a brief article. It Is the life, the business by day and by night of a physician to see and know those who should not marry, those whose par ents should not have married, those who should be divorced, those whose parents should have been divorced-or better, never married. The professional knowi- edge and practice of a physician enables him to see and know better than any one else in the world the results of mar riages which should have been prevent ed or annulled before evil resulted.
 Speedy Result.
 'If the men and women of this pro- fession nobly giving their lives their strength, their talents unselfishly in the Christ-lilse service of minstering unto and healing the sick bodies and minds of their fellow men and women will them selves, or amongst themselves, in aid of the church or to the state, or to the church and state combined, determine to use their knowledge and power to re- move forever the disease-divorce-from civilized communities, 1t will be accom- plished speedily, surely and effectually, to the everlasting glory of the medical profession.
 'The lawyer has opportunity and power to aid us to an almost unlimited extent. The training for and practice of his pro- fession fits him to be lawmaker, to make rules for such relations of living as will result in peace, happiness and prosperity of his native land. It is with in the province of the lawyer to assist in the unmaking of marriages, whence he must necessarily learn great deal as to how and why the mistakes are made, which lead persons to seek dsso- lution of a marriage, and study will en- able him to advise the best methods sof preventing such mistakes.
 From the legal profession have come more than from any other one the .Bea- con Lights of our country. May we not look to that profession now to lead us to enact the laws and so administer them as to bring our country eternally glor- ious renown as the leader of all cviliza- ton, the origin and source of success ful reform, establishing throughout the world humanly perfect marriage regula- tions banishing divorces to desired obloquy, if not to entire oblivion.'

WEDDING PARTY IS
 PUT UNDER ARREST
VIOLATION OF LORDS DAY ACT IS
 ALLEGED AGAINST JEWISH PEO-
 PILE WHO ASSEMBLE FOR AsAB-
 BATH MARRIAGE.

St. Paul, February 1v.-A special to the Dispatch from Winnepeg, Manitoba, says:
 Sunday afternoon squad of police raided the Sharry Shomayim synagogue and stopped a wedding being performed there, on the ground that under the Lords Day. act no work must be done upon the Sabbath. It was the first we'd ding scheduled for the new synagogue, the contracting parties being two of Win nipeg's most popular young people in Jewish society. The event has been the topic of conversation in Jewish circles for weeks past and the crowd was so great that the synagogue could not con- tain all the guests.
 Just as Rabbi Levine started the cere- mony several husky policemen arrived and forbade the ceremony, taking the names of the persons and applications will be made to the attorney general for leave to prosecute, his sanction being necessary in all cases under the Lord $ Day act The importance of the we'd ding may be judged by the fact that a full band had been engaged for the cere- mony, and each band man will also be proSpcIlted.

Wealthy Italian Robbed.

Joe Marisicano, a well known and wealthy Italian, was robbed at his home early this morning. Marisicano lives near the Kansas City crossing and accord ing to his statement made to the Ensley police, was awakened about daylight by three Italians, who covered him with a pistol and threatened to kill him if he made any outcry. After binding and gag ging him they ransacked the house, se- curing about s100 in money, several pieces of jewelry and all of his deeds and pa pers. He was unable to recognize any of his assailants and could give but meager description of them. Marisicano owns con- siderable property in Ensley and Birming- ham, besides holding quite a number of mortgages and notes.
