II took two licenses 10 get Archie Tolles and Edith Y Clayton, each from Derby, married in this city yes terday but they got through all the formalities after fashion Toles and his bride to-be both of age. decided to come to this city and be married quietly, so they came in yesterday af ternoon and Toles repaired alone to city hall to get the necessary license. While he was seeing to this important formalty his brlde-to-be awaited him in place appointed. so she did not ap- pear at city hall and thereby hangs the story
 Toles did not have a very distinct idea of the name of the officer who dispensed tho marriage licenses so ho decided that the city clerk would bA good enough for him Some one in. formed him that he could get license from the city clerk and for what else could licenses he issued except for marriage?
 Experience answered Tolles went to tho city clerks office and assistant City Clerk Moran made his aoauain 'ance lie asked for license M other specifications so Mr. Moran de. cided ho wanted hunters license which are in great demand these days and arc tho only licenses which the city clerks office is dispensing anyway 90 he took the age, height color Of eyes and hair of the applicant and all about him but asked nothing about the girl This did not seem strange to Tolles however and secure in the possession of something tagged a license ho went his way. With the girl he went to the minister who was to perform tho ceremony and the ser. vico was just about to start when the minister Innocently asked for the license In all due pride Tolles pro. ducod q license to hunt in the state o | Gonnccticut
 The minister looked at f. He looked again, Then he gently awakened | Tolles enough to make him compre hend that a hunting license did mol answer the purpose in that case aut that he must produce something more ! In keeping with the solemnty If th. ceremony he was about to participate
 in, Tolles hastoned back to city hal and rushed into tho registrar of vita statistics office just before it closed
 There he was safely fitted out with tht

Pittsburg, Pa, Oct 21-~P. R. Fuller of Beaver Falls, Penn, national legisla- tive representative of tho Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers, Bremen and Railroad Trainmen tonight gave the Associated Press copy of letter which he yesterday mailed to Presi- dent Roosevelt, commenting upon the presidents letter to P. II. Grace. fn- ancler of Lodge No. 36, Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmtn. who in behalf of himself and associate railroad employees wrote the president asking how they could best serve their own interests in the present campaign. The presidents reply urged the support of Judge Taft for the presidency and discussed at length the candidates attitude on uues. tions affecting labor.
 In his letter MT Fuller says:

The most important part of Mir. Tsft's labor record Is conspicuous by it's ab- sence from your reply. and if Is to sup ply this deficiency that write this let- | ter
 Mr. Fuller then refers to the decision of Judge Taft in the United States cir cult court for the Southern District of Ohio. April 90, 1894, declining the petit tion of employees of tho Cincinnati.

The court Is limited in the exercise of it's discretion to such action AS may bs consistent with the preservation of ths property and it's administration in the interests of those who own lt." The reduction was approved
 May 3t. following. Mir. Fuller's letter states the employees petitioned the court to direct the receiver to modify the wage scale which Judge Taft de- clined to do The decision on this petl- ton is quoted at length. including ref erence to 2 change in pay for overtime. which virtually was g reduction in wages
