California Justice BaIkS at
Strange Contract and Wed
ding Is Delayed.
MUCH CRITICISM EVOKED
Sets Aside Usual Marital Con-
ventions, but Magistrate Is
Found to Perform the
Ceremony.
lBy Telegraph to The Tribune.

Los Angeles, Sept. 15.-There was
CONSERVATION yesterday in the home of
Marian Foster Washburne, author and
lecturer, in Pasadena, when Justice
Robert W. Mcdonald declined to unite
in marriage her son, Carleton w.
Washburne. and Miss Heluiz Chandler,
of Philadelphia, because Of pre-
nuptial agreement entered into by the
contracting parties. The justice knew
of the marriage contract before he
went TO the Washburne home, but his
courage failed him at the eleventh
hour, and he refused to proceed with
the ceremony on the ground that ne
could not subscribe to the principles
laid down in the contract and would
not place himself in the attitude of in
dorsing them by being a party to the
marriage.
The unexpected hitch in the arrange
ments left beautiful young woman in
bridal finery and perplexed young
man in a decidedly uncomfortable sit
uation. Both the bride and bridegroom
were not only willing but anxious to
be married, and there was no one TO
perform the ceremony.
Friends were pressed into service. and
after a hurried scurrying about the
services OF Magistrate William North
rup, Of Alhambra were obtained. This
magistrate assured them he enter
IL. nj. nj At in
agreements, 50 long as the marriage
ceremony was performed in accordance
with the laws Of California. At noon
to-day. in the presence Of the bride
groom's mother, the interrupted rites
were resumed and Miss Chandler be
came Mrs. Washburnc.
The marriage of Mir. Washburne and
Miss Chandler has aroused nationwide
comment. not so much because OF the
social prominence of the young people
as because OF the unusual marriage
contract signed by the young people
before their marriage. The romance
attached to the hurried union. the bride
and bridegroom having met for the hrst
time ten days ago, has been overlooked
in the storm Of criticism that met the
public announcement of the pre-nuptial
agreement
The features OF the romance lies In
the remarkable marriage contract
which the young people drew and
signed. This tramples ruthlessly upon
accepted marital convention, in that
it specifically sets forth that the mar
rage shall not be bond giving elther
any control over or possession OF tho
other. that It shall not be a bar TO
other marriage should this prove uh-
fruitful; that the tie shall terminate
simultaneously with the death or love
on either side. and that neither snail
have the right 10 restrain the other
should he or she see TT to incur other
parental responsibility.

Little Things That Mean
Many Dollars in the
Long Run.

With groceries as high as they are at
present II is more than ever necessary to
see that one receives fair measure. After
all the exertions Of state and city bureaus
TO stop petty pilferng there is not so
much danger from the use Of false scales
as formerly. but there are other ways in
which the dealer can cheat the house
wife.
Scales that are perfectly correct may
sometimes be the medium of fraud. For
example. some dealers place sheet Of
paper on them apparently for the sake
of cleanliness. Under the paper they
will surreptitiously slip few nails or a
bit Of lead when they think there is no
danger of their being caught. The scales
are thus weighted down a tribe. and
even though it may be but fraction Of
an ounce II may mean several ounces,
even pounds, in the course OF a whole
days trading.
A merchant may sometimes place his
finger tip carelessly on the scales when
Weighing goods. In spite OF the apparent
carelessness that finger Is pressed down
firmly enough to make a slight difference
in the weight. But these slight differ
ences are not at all slight when a months
grocery bills are taken into consideration.
Another trick is to get the customer into
conversation regarding the weather and so
on. Her attention is drawn from the
scales and before she realizes IL her
goods are lifted from them and are being
wrapped up. As he wraps them the deal
er announces the price and the weight.
adding an ounce or more TO the actual
weight and extra pennies TO the price.
The customer hesltates TO ask to have the
stun weighed over, as she did not look st
the scales herself The only thing for
her to do is to weigh It when she gets
home on her own scales, and then notify
the dealer politely that there has been a
mistake. When he realizes that the Gus
toner has scales at home he will, II he
has common sense. not allow such "ms-
takes" TO occur again.
A dealer should mark the weight OF
goods purchased upon the bill, but many
will carefully refrain from stating in
black and white the amount OF goods by
weight and measure which they have sold
or course, such dealers lay themselves
open to suspicion, and the housewife will
do we'll to be on her guard. II she be-
lieves she has been cheated It will be
more difficult TO get Justice without a
definite statement on the bill as to the
amount supposed to have been sold to her.
The same, too, is true II she orders 10
cents worth or 25 cents worth OF any
thing, or IS so foolish as TO order by the
bagful or pailful These terms signify
nothing i'm law.
In buying goods by the dry measure the
law allows heaping measure. as heaping
as the commodity itself will permit Dry
commodities that are sold by the quart
