The consent of the parents to toe

they co-operated with Parker and his
friends in trying to break down the le-
gal barriers to the marriage, but the
only way out apparently is for the
young pair to cross the river again and
utilize the license obtained at Vancouv-
er Wednesday.
Parker was arraigned before Justice
Bell Saturday afternoon, being charg-
ed with having taken from her nome a
girl under the age of Is years for the
purpose of marriage, a charge by the
way that is seldom used. Parker'S law
yer explained that the girls parents
had Withdrawn their objections to the
marriage. and the case was according
ly dismissed with the understanding
that the parties would go to the court
house at once and procure a marriage
license. To the court house accordingly
they went, but when no one would
swear that the age of the bride-to- be
was more than Is years the license
clerk took the matter before Judge
Gantehbein Of the Juvenile court.
Judge Gantenbein declared that as
the law expressly forbids the marriage
of girls until after their 10 birthday
no license could be lawfully issued in
this instance. So the groom, the bride
and their father, mother and brother
had to go away without the license.
AS soon as Justice Bell learned that
no license had been issued he ordered
the case of Parker continued. so unless
the Washington license can be brought
into service the groom, who is % years
old may be brought into court again
Parker and the girl eloped from her
home at ST Johns Tuesday night and
secured license at Vancouver the next
day, but Parker was arrested at the

TRIAL MARRIAGE
HOWLING SUCCESS

San FRANCISCO, Feb. 1.-Trlal
marriage is a success
So says A. w. Robins, proprietor of
vegetarian cafe in this city. Robins
has tried the trial marriage for five
years. His contract with his wife
ended today
We have agreed to separate to the
extent of occupying separate apart
ments, but 1 do not mean by that
there will be no communication or
friendly relations between u.s." said
Robins this morning I'VE will not
renew the contract, because there is
no necessity of it, We can live to-
gether without a contract if we choose
and it will be the affair of no one
else"
Robins stated that he had no feeling
against marriage as an institution and
that if people can live together in love
and harmony there is no harm in their
being married, but he thinks marriage
in that case is unnecessary. Robins
said:
Marriage does away with personal
liberty People are bound together and
often grow to hate one another for the
very reason that they cannot part.
do not think one man should have to
live with the same woman all his life.
You do not see any such thing in the
lower animal life. Why should human
beings have to 30 it?'
Robins is a small man with a keen,
intelligent face. He has a remarkably
repOseful and quiet manner. He speaks
of his wife and affairs quietly and
with the air of a philosopher or
stole. His only objection to marriage
is the restraint which, he claims, does
not appear in trial marriage or free
love.

GOSSIP OF THE RING.
BY Knox BIockoff.

NEW YORK, Jan. 3O.-When Tom
my Burns had completed his triumphal
career in England and sailed for Aus
tralia, he took with him practically all
of the loose coin that had previously
adhered to the pockets of British
sporting men. That the latter have
not recovered from the financial on
slaught of the foxy Tommy is evil
danced by the stinginess of the purse
offered by the National Sporting club
of London for the bout between Jac'-
Johnson and Sam Langford for the
worlds heavyweight championship
The winner will get only the equiva-
lent of 1000 American dollars, while
the loser will get as a salve for his
injured feelings only the insignificant
sum of $4,000. Each man will get $3.50
for training and travelling expenses
The National Sporting club certainly is
not going broke on this MILL
When it is considered that the black
chamnion could probably get at leas
$4,000 for fighting a much easier
mark than Langford in California, it
would seem that his manager is le ok
ing in financial acumen to take up with
any such proposition as is offered by
the London club. However. Fitzpatrick
isn't such a fool as he looks. The Ma
tional Sporting club financed Johnson
for his long trip to Australia to inset
Burns, with the understanding that
the big black would return to England
for his first subsequent battle. These

LOOKS GOOD TO
THE YOUNG MEN

VANCOUVER, Feb. Especial Cor
reSpondence)-A Matrimonial Boosters
club is one of the proposed additions
to tne list of Clarke county organiza-
lions, movement having been sug-
gested that mammoth matrimonial
bureau be established
1t is well known fact that a large
percentage of the men who come to
the west are single men and large
percentage of these remain single, rot
from choice, but because there are nor
enough single women to go around
In the vicinity of Orchards, a small
place near Vancouver, it has been in
vestigated and found that there are
40 more single men than women Of
manageable ages. The woman who
first suggested the matrimonial idea
was Informed by woman visiting in
the east for three months, WAC noted
that the majority of the young men
had gone west from there to Alberta,
Canada, or western states in the
United States, leaving the old homees
filled with old married men and women,
and the single women, daughters and
widows.
The prime mover in this plan says:
How little expense it would be to put
an advertisement in an eastern paper
