Wedding Fans.

New York Times: There are some
people who attend weddings with
Just as much enthusiasm as a base

invited or not. and seemingly enjoy
the excitement Of the moment and
the attendant fuss and feathers.
There are said to be funeral fans,
too: people who attend funerals
merely out of morbid curiosity. OF
course, the wedding fans are most
in evidence at the big town weddings.
which mark the alliance between two
prominent and wealthy families, or
the marriage Of an American heiress
to penniless duke.
They are mostly women, and they
attend regularly all OF the smart
weddings. II they cannot edge their
way past the sexton who takes the
invitation cards, they congregate
around the street awning and are fire.
quently Of such number as to inter-
fere with the street pedestrians. Tho
wedding fan, in fact, has become a
highly Objectionable feature at all Of
the large churches in the social zone,
especially on Fifth avenue, and extra
precautions are strenuously observed
in order to keep them out Of the
church.

PROCLAMATION NEEDED
Election Judges Will Sit for Both
Primary and Suffrage saiIotina
But Don't Get Extra
Pay.

So many questions have been asked
the attorney generals Office with
reference to the conduct OF the wom-
an suffrage election in connection
with the holding OF the June pri-
maries that C. A. Robbins, assistant
attorney general, who has been look
ing up this question, has issued the
following statement dealing with all
of the questions asked:
First-That the election as TO such
proposed amendment is a special cleo
ton requiring the issuance by the
governor of proclamation under sec
ton 1861 Of the code.
Second-That the sheriff of the
county should publish such proclama-
ton in some newspaper printed in
the county at least ten days prior to
June 5.
Third-That the primary election
judges and clerks should sit in con-
nection with this special election and
that no separate set Of officers will
be required.
Fourth-That separate ballot boxes
for the suffrage amendment are per-
mitted, but not required.
Fifth-That separate poll books are

cal question rather than legal one
and if proper provision is made either
in the same or in a different poll
book for keeping a separate record
Of the person voting on the constitu-
tional amendment, either on sepa-
rate page or column. in my judgment
the same would not be held illegal.
Sixth-That the election judges will
not draw double pay because Of the
two elections, but will. be paid by the
hour for time consumed as provided
by law.
Seventh-That while the time for
opening and closing the polls tor gen.
eral and special elections differs
slightly from the hours during which
the polls are to be open for the pri-
mary election, yet, as the legislature
has specially provided that the con-
stitutional amendment is to be sub
mitted at the primary election, the
hours governing the opening and
closing of the polls for the primary
election will govern for both elections
to be held June 5.
The following provisions with ref
erence to registration should be COM
piled with in cities Of more than
$500.
How to Register.
The registrars should meet on the
second Thursday, Friday and Satur-
day prior to June at the usual vot-
ing place in the precinct and hold
continuous sessions from 8 o'clock in
the forenoon until 9 o'clock in the
afternoon as required by section 1877.
They should also meet in the same
place between the same hours on the
Saturday Immediately prior to June S.
Mr.. Robbins holds further that
this board should also be in session
on election day and that they should
prepare a new registry book for this
election by copying from the poll
book Of the preceding general election
all of the names found therein, add
ing thereto those of all persons regis.
tered and voting at any subsequent
election. A voter already registered
is not required to register anew for
the primary election, but must regis
ter anew before the general election

gest street car strike in the city's his
tory.
Although the company heads re-
fused specifically to agree to recog-
milton of the union - the Amalga-
mated Assn of Street and Electric
Railway Employees of America-they
conceded the big issue the men
fought for. This was the right to
uniOnize and promise to receive COM

ton.
The victory, greatest ever won by
the union, was the third big victory
in three big cities in a little over
three years. The other triumphs
were in Boston and Chicago. Where
extreme violence marked the Boston
affair, the peaceful victory won a
year ago in Chicago was exceeded
in orderliness by the New York tri-
umph.

GERMANS BREAK
UNDER new bL 0W

London, Dec. 1S.--The French are
continuing their great offensive IN
the Mouse sector of the Verdun front
and have made further gains. The
British also have made progress and
succeeded in raiding enemy trenches
near Ransart and southwest of Wyt-
schaete, gaining a foothold in both
cases.
The German war office admits the
loss to the French OF the village Of
Bezonvaux and wood to the west
of that place, but asserts that the
French thrust further to the north
ward broke down before the German
fire on height north of BezonvauX.
The new French lines at Vacherau-
Vile and BenzonvauX and in the
Chambrette farm region have been
hetavily bombarded by the German
guns. North OF the Ancre river, in the
Somme sector, the British detach-
ments attempted to enter German
trenches, but were repulsed,

A thrust by the Russians near II

accomplished only after three desper
