What It Costs, Sometimes,
to Get Married in England
Special Correspondence Of the star.


LONDON. July II, 1910.
COME Of the fashionable weddings that
~ have taken place lately would seem
to indicate that the people concerned
were anxious to see how much money
could be spent on the affair. This would
apply to members of the fashionable set
on both sides Of the Atlantic, but when
one descends to ordinary everyday folk
conditions are different. When an Ameri-
can boy and girl wish to marry they can
without fuss or feathers.
In England it is much more complicat-
ed. The most usual form of marriage is
by "bannS." Notice is given to the clergy
man of the church where the young cou-
pie desire to get married, the announce
ment Is given out three Sundays running
before the wedding day. and for this the
bridegroom pays the clerk 80 cents. II
one or other Of them must do so for three
weeks before the ceremony takes place.
but this condition is often filled by the
bridegroom taking room and putting
stick or bag in 1t for the required time
OF course. you have to pay the clergy
man something for performing the cere-
mony for you, and the legal fee is $l.25,

50 cents for a copy Of the certificate OF
marriage. But each clergyman asks what
he chooses. and some of them place their
services rather high, as the following in
cident will show:
Recently young couple who live in
the suburbs decided to get married at
one Of the churches in the Strand, in
London, as this was a convenient center
for all their friends, and also near Char
ing Cross station, from which they were
starting for Paris immeditely after the
ceremony. 1t was to be a quiet affair,
no bridesmaids, no bouquets, no car
riages, no red carpet, etc.
So one fine morning the brides father
started of to find the incumbent of one
of these London churches. an individual
with a double-barreled name and incl
dentally a double-barreled loquacity as
well. After a great effort the father got
him to talk about the wedding, and final
ly inquired the fee.
1.-The fee would be $26," said his rever-
ence. And, Of course, you would like
some music? We supply that and 1t
would be S." The father was about to
say something, when the padre broke In
again:
"And you would like some red carpet
put down, 1 suppose? We supply that
for S."
oh" began the man out OF whose
pocket the money was to come Tor all
this.

Capt Julian De Court Of the Philippine
Scouts recently was convicted by court
martial at Palawan, P. l., Of behaving
with disrespect toward his commanding
officer. He was sentenced to be suspend
ed from command for three months, to
forfeit $50 of his pay per month for six
months, and to be reprimanded.
Brig. Gen. Potts, commanding the De-
partment of Luzon, approved the SEN
tence of the court. Capt De Court, -
said he, has been guilty of deliberate
defiance of the laws enacted by his coun-
try for the government Of Its officers
and soldiers. In spite of what his years
Of service have taught him that regard
for the twentieth article of war is neces-
sary to the existence Of military force.
he has struck a grievous blow at the
cause of discipline and good administra-
ton. The department commander re-
Dukes Capt. De Court for his failure to
subordinate himself to the law and the
requirements of discipline, and for his
| unwillingness to trust to the existing
machinery Of orderly administration, to
correct possible evils in the regular way.
His course in this case is the manifesto
ton Of tendency toward lynch law
that has no place in the heart of an Of
ficer of the army. The suspension and
forfeiture are RENTED because his long
arrest, much of it close, and the ex-
cient to satisfy these requirements of the
sentence. Capt. De Court will be re-
leased from arrest
Relieved OF Their Posts.
The orders relieving Col c. Fl. LAUGH
heimer, adjutant and inspector of the
Marine Corps, and Col. F. l.. Denny,
quartermaster, from charge Of their re-
spective departments in this city have
already become effective. Lieut. Col.
Hanes is now in charge of the Office
of the adjutant and inspector, and Lieut..
Col. .McCawley of the quartermaster' S
department. Col Lauchheimer left
Washington for Baltimore yesterday,
and will leave the latter place on the
9th instant for San Francisco en- route
to Manila
Col. Denny is scheduled to leave Wash
ington for San F'rancieco August 2.
However, it is understood that he may
be ordered before retiring board be-
fore his departure. He has not complied
with the requirements of the physical
test order, there having been postpone
ments in the case, on the advice of the
physicians. He was recently directed to
take the test, but upon the usual prelim-
mary physical examination made prior to
taking the ride the surgeons reported
against his compliance with the require
ments. 1t is for that reason that he
may be examined by a retiring board.
The board will probably consist of Col.
William P. Biddle, Col. Littleton w. T..
Waller and Col George Richards. of the
Marine Corps, and two members of the
naval medical corps.

cit was not long before registered
letter came through with money gone.
The inspector put his lips to the seal
of the envelope, tasted the mucilage,
referred to his book and at once named
the Office at which the particular drug
had been placed in the mucilage. Then
a lot of decoy letters went to the ONCE
and the dishonest postmaster secured the
contents and the inspector secured him.
This, l think, was one of the clever
est pieces of work ever done by the de-
partment. The inspector who put the
trap into execution was an experienced
chemist and knew what he was doing.
There are but two successful ways to
catch a post Office thief-constant watch
and decoy letters. With these, and q
large supply of patience, the game will
be landed. 1t often requires months
and sometimes years to accomplish
this. 1t Is one of the most annoy
ing and difficult lines of detective work
man ever engaged in. and requires
the most earnest application Not single
circumstance or detail must be over
looked.
Sometimes luck helps us out Of our
difficulties. remember once in a city
not very far from Washington things
were In a fearful state in the distribu-
tion division of the ONCE. 1t appeared
as though we would never catch the

From one point of view it is wonder
full that there are so few thieves among
the many thousands of clerks who ham
die the mails first and last, for great
temptations surround them. They handle
millions Of valuable parcels. 1t is known
that these clerks soon learn to tell by
the very touch of letter whether 1t
contains money. If SO inclined. it would
be an easy matter for the dishonest clerk
to slip letters into his pocket and open
them In the privacy Of his room. That
few is a high tribute to the moral quail
tiles of the post Office clerks.
Years ago on one Of the old star
routes out in New Mexico hundreds of
letters containing money, drafts, checks
and other valuables were stolen. At first
letters and all disappeared. but the
thieves changed their mode Of operation
and simply stole the contents, resealing
the letters and sending them on.
LAS letters pass through the hands of
many clerks, 1t Is difficult to locate the
thief Months of faithful work resulted
in nothing being discovered as to the iden-
tity of the thieves. Finally there was a
happy solution of the trouble. One of
the inspectors procured quantity Of
different kinds of drugs and sent other
inspectors over the entire route with in
structions to make tour of book inves-
legations, and while thus engaged to place
some of one kind of the drugs In the
mucilage bottles at each Office. taking
care to make memorandum which
would show at what ONCE the drug had
been placed.

''Woman in former times worked in

and was therefore sometimes fought for
and defended by the man because she
was valuable as property. In the present

BLAME OF

At Primero Mine is Charged to the

directly with murder in allowing con

which resulted in the recent loss of n
hundred lives. In Il resolution passed
by the union, they make demands which
placed the governor of Colorado on the
defensive and have called upon several
forclgn governments to demand Il search
ing inquiry into the conditions existing
III the mines of Southern Colorado.
The resolutions declare that "the ex-
plosiou in the Primero mine which killed
about 100 workers, may be charged with
certainty to criminal neglect and inconl-
potency upon the part of State Mine In
spector Jones, Superintendent Kilpat-
rick, the mine bosses and the manage
ment Of the Colorado Fuel and Iron
Company.

5000 men, not one is safe. Most of
them are in dangerous condition as
the Primero mine.
The union makes the following de-
mands-not requests-for the relief of
conditions which, it says, have made the
Southern Colorado mines, too dangerous
for men to work in:

to remove Immediately State Mine
Inspector Jones and to appoint a prac-
focal miner in his place, taken from the
rank and file of organized labor; to or
