As CLERK REFUSES
LICENSE TO COUPLE
Elopers From Virginia Told
They Must Prove
Their Ages.

Dannie Cupid got an awful setback
this morning at City Hall, when a
couple of Virginia elopers, after waiting
in Washington since Saturday after
noon, were denied licenses to marry be-
cause they looked too young to take the
plunge.
The couple are registered at the st.
James Hotel as N. l.. Johnson, of Cow
ington, KY, and Miss Mary Brown, OF
Cincinnati, Ohio, although they claim
they eloped incognito, and that the
cognomens furnished the hostelry are
fictitious. They also said this morning
that they lived near Wytheville. Va.
AS far as they got was their respect

Young, clerk of the District Supreme
Court, today, and then the young man
was told he would have to prove his
assertions before a license could be
issued. The would-be benedict claimed
he was twenty-one on February 81. last,
while his intended wife reached the
eighteen mark on March 26, last
You'll have to furnish us proof OF
your ages" directed Mr.. Young, who
has been seeing couples show up at
City Hall for the past twenty-od years.
Greatly peeved that his veracity
should be questioned, the youth went
away grumbling that he would look
elsewhere for a license. probably Rock
