Party to Marriage Resides.

Pittsburg, Pa, Jan. IA pastoral
letter to be issued early in the APP
preaching lenten season by Bishop
Canevin of the Pittsburg diocese OF the
Catholic church, as well as the other
bishops, will impose new regulations
governing marriages upon all who pro
fess the Catholic religion. The letter
will give full force and effect to the
rescript of Pope Plus X, promulgated
several months ago, providing that no
priest Of one parish shall unite in mar,
rage persons who are residents of an.
other parish.
Illicit Marriage.
Under the new regulations marri.
ages celebrated outside the parish of
the residence of either the bride or
will be declared Illicit and such
marriages will be possible only by
false representations. The marriage
may not be declared invalid, but it
would be clandestine and Illicit unless
a special dispensation were procured
and the celebrants would be deprived
of the benefits of the church.
Prevents EIopements.
The law will be practically pro
hibitory of Opponents and of ill-con-
sidered marriages" said a local official
of the church. 1t will place an ad-
ditional obstacle in the way of the
marriage of Catholics with non-Cath-
olics. to which the church has always
been opposed, as they are almost in
variably productive of unhappiness.
Clergy Responsible.

to know their people, and if persons
desiring to wed within the church are
compelled to do so under the eyes of
their own religious guides there will
be fewer rro and subsequent heart

Pure Wool Resolutions.
Whereas, A great many of the tex.
tile fabrics that are on the market at
the present time contain adulterants
and are sold under names that lead
purchasers to believe that hey are
pure; and,
Whereas, Clothing is recognized as
a necessity of life, next il Importance
to food; and,
Whereas, The state already protects
the people from fraud in the sale of
food; and,
whereas, The people OF wyoming
are not only consumers of the finished
products of the textile industry, but
one of their most important industries
is the production of wool, which is the
principal raw material displaced by
cheap ad~ulterants; and,
Whereas, A law compelling fabrics
to be properly labeled II honestly
sold would benefit the people of Wyo'
ming, not only as consumers, but also
as producers; therefore, be it
Resolved, That we favor the enact.
ment of a state law regulating the sale
and labelling of textile fabrics that will
operate along the same broad and
equitable lines that have been alrea,
dy established by our state pure food
