Place for the CoIored Soldiers.

The Contributor of the Waterbury
American went over TO Burlington.
Vermont. one day last week, and was
much interested in what he saw and
heard He noticed three colored
troopers of the Tenth Cavalry riding
in the trolley car on which he was a
passenger, and. apparently, without
attracting the attention of any one
but himself. The conductor. observ-
ing how much he appeared TO be in
terested in their movements, fell into
conversation with him, and recur-
ring to the recent discussion of the
unfriendly attitude OF Burlington so
ciety 10 these colored soldiers, said
that so far as the trolley men met
them, they were much more agree
able and gave far less trouble than
the white soldiers" This is both in
teresting and important. II shows
that the army chiefs knew what they
were doing when they assigned the
colored troops to Fort Ethan Allen
Post, and that hereafter little
trouble should be found in obtaining
a comfortable place for the colored
soldiers BY all means they should be
assigned to duty where the people
want them, and as Fort Ethan Allen
is a first-rate military post, all the
colored troops should be kept there.

recent years the scarcity of weddings
has become a serious question. Com
plants have frequently been made be-
fore the authorities, but under the old
regime nothing radical in the way of
amendment could be done, as every
attempt at reform was considered to be
a political crime"
The present Sheik-ul-Islam has abol-
ished all the impositions of expensive
marriage formalities and reduced the
whole transaction to its simplest forms.
Henceforward there will be no obliga-
tion on the part of the bridegroom to
pay to the parents of his future wife
any money for the furnishing of the
nuptial chamber. No costly presents
will have to be sent, no eXtravagant
expenses to be met in connection with
any of the marriage festivities. The
prices of the nikiah as an indemnity in
case of divorce has been fixed at only
101 piasters (about So.
The heik-ul-Islam has, of course
foreseen that parents will raise objec-
tions to this simplification of the mar
.riage rite and will in consequence put
obstacles in the way of wedding cele-
brations. He has therefore decreed that
young people who are of age need not
have the consent of the parents, as
that consent is not enjoined by the
sacred writings of the sheriat.

DICK FERRIS CANDIDATE
FOR LIEUT.. GOVERNOR
kilograms Received from Promo
ter Tell of His Decision
to Enter Fight

Richard Ferris, popularity known in
Los Angeles and Minneapolis as Dick
Ferris, promoter, theatrical manager
and clubman, is another aspirant to
office who yesterday announced his
candidacy for the nomination for lieu
tenant governor of California on the
Republican ticket.
Mr.. Ferris decision to enter the COM
ing campaign was received here in let
ters and kilograms to friends who for
some time have been urging him to
make the race.
Those in charge of the Ferris home
Ferris, who are at present on their
way here from Minneapolis, will arrive
in Los Angeles tonight, and Mr.. Ferris
is expected to begin at once a campaign
which he and his friends hope will
secure for him the coveted nomination
and later the desired office.
Mr.. Ferris for some time has been
prominently identified with Republican
affairs, but this will be the first time he
ever has been a candidate for any
office. He is best known as an amuse-
ment promoter, some of his notable
successes in this line being the man
agement of an automobile show and
the promotion of the aviation meeting
held here last January, the first of its
kind in America.
Mr. Ferris and his friends have until
August 16 to make a whirlwind cam
paign, as that is the date set for the
primary election.

DECIDE ON SILK HAT BAIT

Members of the newly organized con-
vention league are planning novel
and spectacular way of getting 10000
boosters into the organization in one
day. 1t Is proposed that all who are
now members, on a date to be fixed at
the meeting to be held next Monday
night, put on dress suits and silk hats,
devote a whole day to a whirlWind
campaign and make the tally sheet
show, when night comes, that 10000
men have LINED the league. Scores OF
automobiles probably will be used to
accomplish this result,
The members of the finance and
membership committee of the organiza-
tion held a meeting last evening. The
members of the committee are Al Levy,
G. M. Swindell, representing the cham
Der of mines; John j. Akin of the Los
Angeles railway; Walter McStay, rep
resenting the produce exchange; John
j. Jones of the North, Northeast and
Northwest Improvement association;
L. e. Behymer, Major II. u. Osborne
and II. B. Gurley, representing the
chamber of commerce.
Between now and Monday an effort
will be made by the present members
of the league to bring in ten new
members each and the following is
CODY of the application blanks that will
be printed and sent. together with a
letter at once by the committee, noti-
flying each member of what is expected
of him.

other meetings for Los Angeles. (EX-

Denver secured 112 conventions in
four months time by an organization
of the kind, and Kansas City raised
$50. 900 for its convention hall by popu-
lar subscription" said Mr.. Rehymer
and these statements lent enthusiasm
to the local movement to secure gather
ings as we'll as money to bring the
gatherings to Los Angeles.
In the big campaign, in addition to
the foregoing application, buttons, as
at Kansas City, showing membership,
will be given to those who join the or
ganization Those already belonging
who will seek new members, will be at
tired in full dress suits and silk hats.
Automobiles, too, probably will be
pressed into service, and the day Is to
be a gala one.
The league, although new enter
prise in Los Angeles, but two meetings
having thus far been held, is being re-
ceived with much favor.

WEDDINGS MADE EASY
FOR TURKISH COUPLES
Ancient Marriage Restrictions
Abolished by Sheik-uI-IsIam

A step of great Importance to the
Ottoman empire has just been taken
by the Sheik-ul-Islam, the, religious
head of the Shah section of the Mos
lem world. This reform abollshes the
complications and restrictions con-
nected with Turkish marriage and re-
duces the ceremony to terms of al
most Gretna Green simplicity.
According to the Constantinople cor
respondent of The Herald, it is a mis-
take to suppose that every Osmanli
has several wives and that he is at
liberty to marry as many times as he
likes, and that for him it is just as
easy to divorce a wife as to change
an overcoat The correspondent says:
"Polygamy is the exception in Tur-
key and not the rule, and divorce is
much less frequent than in Christian
countries. By far the weightiest reason
for this is the intricate character both
of the wedding and of the legal separ-
alton between husband and wife.
ITO begin with, a Turk desiring to
marry has to hand over to his brides
parents a sum of between &10 and
$500, or even much more, according to
the social position of the couple, in
order to furnish the nuptial chamber
He must send to the bride a number
of presents, consisting Of bracelets, ear
rings, brooches, rings, ETC., of a price
frequently beyond his means. If the
presents are considered by the parents
inferior to their pretensions they are
Immediately sent back and the engage
ment is declared off.
'The girl has, on her part, to de-
fray all the expenses connected with
the marriage and the frequent recep-
tions following, which is always cost
ly as we'll as a snowy business with
the Mussulmans. After the engagement
comes the so-called nikiah, kind of
civil contract
Should the husband subsequently in
tend to send his wife away or to di-
vorce her he must pay to her a sum
of money decided upon at this nil1iah-
sum varying from &10 to $1,000 or
more. 1t is natural that the parents
should try to fix this sum at as high
figure as possible in order to safe
guard their daughter from the possible
caprices and arbitrariness of their SON.
in-law.
"Should a Turk be inclined to take a
second wife--the legal number must
never exceed four--he is obliged to pro-
vide for her a separate house in every
respect similar to that of his first wife,
as we'll as an equal number of servants,
slaves and eunuchs. This is done in
order not to excite jealousy.
"These difficult and costly conditions
always tended to discourage the reck-
less contracting of marriage, and of
