TRIAL MARRIAGE LAW
In FORCE in new YORK
Freak Provisions of the Law Almost Against Human
Conception. Minor Children May Marry and
Divorce at Will-Aged Grocer Dead.

New York's editorial" green grocer
is dead. Early workers who passed
L. T. Galatians shop the other day
used to being entertained by the huge
signs that Callahan painted ard hung
with his own hands, were disappointed
to see that a bunch of crepe and a
typewriter. notice of L sllahan's death
were the only signs visible. They
marked the passing of an eccentric old
man whose racy opinions on politics
were ,or many years handed out along
with his advertisements Of his wares.
Through the closed door could be
seen the last editorial painted by
Callahan, who cxnec.cd to display it on
the day that he died. 1t said:
"The tariff is now a law Stop
bgrunting. Put your sh ~ der to the
wheel, and make it success. No bill
can stop the welfare and prosperity Of
this country
Several years ago Callahan wrote to
the late Mayor Gaynor. telling that
a certain weights-and-meas ordi-
nance he had signed was inpracticable.
Mayor Gaynor replied: .'What you do
not know about the grocery business
will fill great big book"
Attacked the Mayor.
That was too much. From that day
on Callahan never missed a chance
or a day without attacking the mayor
in his grocery editorials" in which he
often made Gaynor ridiculous. The last
Gaynor squib appeared the day before
the mayors death. Callahan's writings
were almost as diffuse as those OF
Gaynor. He advocated that New York
should be split up into two states, adj
vised women on how to buy false hair,
told how to select diamonds and pet
dogs, and how to pick husband.
Callahan, between his political "edi-
torials" and poems on the old home
stead, mothers sweet old face, and
Kitty's eyes, sandwiched the praises OF
pure virgin olive oil, shrimp paste, as
paragus tips and finnan and haddle.
Finally, the big signs were not big
enough to hold all that he wanted to
tell the public, and Callahan printed
little monthly magazine, which he gave
away to his customers. The cover de-
sign of the pamphlet was the picture
of Clanokilty, Cork county, Ireland,
where Callahan was born Is years ago
and which he left so years ago. Though
he owned big steam yacht that was
always in commission, Callahan was
always at his store before a. m. sort
ing sampling and selling his own goods
and painting his editorials he
never left the store until the last clerk
was gone.

NEW YORK, Nov. 1O.-They have
trial marriages in New York. The law
+ Of the Empire state provides for mar
riages on probation, the martial tie to
be dissolved by the courts If the ven
ture proves unsatisfactory. Supreme
Court Justice Samuel Greenbaum went
further and declared that New York
licenses trial marriages for children.
True the august statutes do not refer
to trial marriages specifically. The
law in question, severely condemned
by several prominent jurists, provides
that a marriage contracted by minors,
or when one fthe parties is minor,
whether with or without the consent
of the parents or guardian OF the NIL
nor shall be annulled by the court
when application for such annullment
is made by the minor party. TO Obtain
the legal annullment, it is not neces-
sary to set forth grounds why the mar
rage was not success. Nor IS IL ne
cessary for both parties to consent to
an annullment.
Seven Grey Hairs.
"Another trial marriage for chlloren
dissolved" said Justice Geigerich, IN
passing on the most recent case
fsv DAYS ago. Seven gray hairs IN
seven months of matrimony was INC
reason for eannulment given by Cnes-
ter J. spaulding, a 17-year-old PAM
clerk Chester ran away with siri
not as old as himself and they were
married The venture was a failure.
When the boy-husband awoke the otheF
morning and looked in the glass, ne
saw seven gray hairs, he said. Inc
nrosnect of one gray hair month LOT
the rest of his life while married ap-
,palled Spaulding and he ran to MS
LAWYER. The lawyer took him to the
snnreme court and Justice Giegerlch,
while deploring the circumstances
could do nothing but annual the mar
rage. The girl-bride was not consult
cd The law did not provide for 1t.
Runaway Girl.
Mildred Rudd, the champion run
away girl of the Bronx" is barely
eighteen. She went to party whjie
sbe was still under age. She was IN
troduced to a youth who called nm
self Vincent Day. They eloped and
were married that evening. Mildred
learned that her new husband was
vincenzio Micari, her fataher's chauf-
feur. She went home to papa, and the
marriage was annulled by Justice
Greenbaum. Previously Mildred mad
run away four times. She has run
away again since her marriage was
dissolved. 1t was Mildred's case that
made Justice Greenbaum stand agast
at the strange flaw in the law. The
boy and girl, he said, had clearly hao
a trial marriage" and the law could
do nothing but legalize the affair.

TARIFF REDUCED
ON INFANT GOODS
PROBABLY MOST POTENT REDUC-
TION WILL COME IN SEWING

Seems Every Feature necessitated FOR
the Use of "Baby" will Come
Cheaper Hereafter.
By Bond p. Geddes.

(Staff correspondent of the United
Pres5)
WASHINGTON Nov 10.--There's at
least one feature of the new demo-
cratic tariff law that is bound to make
it immensely popular, if predictions OF
democrats and admissions by republic
cans materialize. Democrats predict
and republicans admit that it's going
to cost quite bit less than formerly
to entertain that world-old visitor who
seldom fails to call after Cupid has
scored with his bow and arrow. Re
ference is had to Old Doc Stork. Ever
1, the most eloquent, exhaustive and vol
liable democratic booster OF the new
tariff refuses to admit thai tee trainers
were looking so far ahead for voices
but however that may be, race suicide
is given a potential wallop by tax re-
auctions on almost everything which
the new arrival must have.
Tariff Greatly Lowered.
From safely pins to go-carts, the ar
ticles the new papa must buy should
be cheapened for the tariff has been
greatly lowered. Even calendars, on
which are recorded the wondrous do
ings of the baby ought to be cheaper
Safety pins are cup Is per cent, and
$500 are expected to be imported
next year. Pure CASTLE soap for the
little ones bath can be brought into
this country under six per cent I'M
port tax reduction. Import atoms ag-
gregating 100000 pounds are looked
for during next year.
Boracic acid, a very necessary adj
junct in the toilette of Sir lnfant-or
Lady Infant, as the case may be--may
cost two cents pound less than 1t has
formerly. Castor oil. another heal
necessity, is reduced twertyt two cents
a gallon on the former import tax, and
while the retail price viii not be great
ly lowered there ought 10 be enough
reduction to help some.

MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, Nov. TO-
Eloquent appeals for the throwing off
of the yoke of false, criminal modesty
which has retarded the work of better
ing the morals of the world" were
made today at the fourth days ses-
sions of the International Purity con-
gress which is holding it's seventh an
nual meeting here. Speakers scathlng-
ly denounced the opposition which has
developed against instruction in sex
matters and hygiene, as 'criminally
negligent and inhumanely ignorant
1t was pointed out that two classes
"blind themselves to the social evil,
and oppose any movement, which
through widest publicity and statement
of facts however much they hurt, is
meant to better conditions" The first
class. it was declared, are those who
"viciously and immorally fight any
movement which would mean lessening
of their sordily secured financial re-
turns" The second class, it was de-
clared, comprise "prudes, supersensl-
tive people who, in their supreme lg-
norance and innocence, refuse to be-
lieve there are sores in every city
which should be treated as such"

Tax OF on Many Things.

Although the law takes tax OF TWO
cents a gallon off of fresh condensed
milk, there is only slight chance that
this lowering of import duty will be
felt by American fathers and mothers.
Still, since to import the stuff may
bring down the price Of American
manufacturers to retailers, there might
be a very slight reduction in retail

then. according to the authorities
which maintain the no-sale doctrine,
it might be argued with some force
that neither Ferry or the defendant
thought a sale Of the whIskey was be

But / venture to assert without
fear Of contradiction that neither OF
the parties or the other members Of
the club ever heard Of such niceties
Of thought.
In my judgment the defendant
thought he Was selling the liquor to
Ferry and Ferry thought he was
