Ayres Performs the
Marriage.

Seldom does the clerk of district
court have to stand the strain of decid.
ing weighty legal questions, however
in the urse of his official areer as
dispense of permits to wed, he has
run up against some obstacles that
for a time have held the expectant
ones in suspense. An instance that
illustrates the stress under which the
genial county clerk and his staff are
sometimes placed took place this
morning and for a time threatened the
expected happiness of two, whose
hearts hoped 500 to beat as one.
Groom is II Years.
Wade H. McReynolds, aged II, &C
'companied by his life's hope Miss Mel
lie Scott, aged IA, both of Martins
burg, approached the deputy clerk OF
court, James Gee and asked for the
necessary license with which they
might seek the welded state. They
were accompanied by the mother OF
the bride elect, Mrs. Louie Cattle, also
of Martinsburg. All progressed very
fine and as the appearance of both
parties denoted that they were old
enough to take care of themselves
and possibly each other, Deputy Gee
was greatly startled when the ages OF
the c~onstacting parties were given at
Ia and IL respectively.
Ask Advice.
A hasty consultation was begun be.
tween Deputy Gee and Clerk Phillips
as to the mode of operation in the
case as it was bordering on the jul
venile to a greater extent than is Gus
tomary. 1t was finally determined by
the clerk and deputy to obtain legal
advice in the matter and a local at.
torney was taken into the counsel and
decided that if the proper permission
accompanied the request for marriage
license, it would be legal to supply
the wants of the applicants.
The youth produced a permit from
his parents to place him within the
limits of the law, while the young
lady had her mother in tow, who gave
the desired permission. In signing
the articles releasing her daughter
the age of the mother came to light
and 10, it was a greater surprise than
the daughters age, as she had com
pleted but 20 summers herself, ano
the daughter is fourteen.
They Are Married.
Justice G. C. Ayres was then brough
into the case and soon arrived at the
court house, where at 1880 he per
formed the ceremony that bount

What a simple and inexpensive solving
OF the fat womans problem the Marmola
Prescription Tablets provide. She takes
one of these harmless. pleasant, little tab
let's after each meal and at bedtime and
loses from IL to 1t ounces OF fat each day
and yet suffers no harm, creates no dig
turbences inwardly, and produces no
wrinkles, This elegant preparation made
exactly in accordance with the famous
Nnrmola Prescription has rendered exer-
cising and dieting for the reduction OF ex-

oLERGYMEN CHANGE FAITH.

DIR. William McGarvey and six Other
former Protestant Episcopal clerRymen
we're received into the Catholic Church
by Archbishop Ryan in the Csthedl al
Chapel 10 Philadelphia yesterday.
In the whole history of the Oxford
movement, which led Cardinal New
msn and many other distinguished men
of The Estlblished Church of Enelsn
into the Catholic Church, it is said
there Is no record of seven clerymen
taking that step in body, and together
making the required profession OF
faith.
The six who knelt with DR.. Nc
Garvey at Archbishop Ryan's feet ard
made the profession of the Catholic
faith were Rev. Maurice l.. Cowl, Rev.
William L. Hayward, and Rev. William
Fl. McOlelland, former assist ,nts at st
Elizabeth's Pr tsstant Episcopal Church,
in Philadelphia, of which DIR. McGsr
vey was rect r; Rev. Edgar N. OOwan,
of Milwaukee and former ss.itsnt of
st. Mtrk's Church in Philadelphia, and
Rev. Charles E Bowles and Rev. OF
w. Gromoll, both OF Chicago.
After making their profession of faith
all seven we're conditionslly bsptised, so
q, 70 leave no doubt as to the validity OF
their original bar tsm.
This mcrning, whsn Archbishop
Ryan cslebr, ted his daily mass in the
Cathedral Chapel, the seven former clei-
gsmen received their first holy CON-
munion It his hands. FOllo"ipg the
mass the archbishop administered TO
them the sacrament Of confirmation.
All seven expect to enter the Catholic
priel thood, for which some of them will
probably study in the Seminary OF ST.
Charles BorromeO, st OVerbrook. Two
or thres, il is said, may become mem
bers of Catholic rel giOus orders.
