MARRIED LAST MIGHT

DOUGLAS, July 5.-Loves young dream scored an inning last night at II o'clock when United States Com missioner John Henson, at his office in this place, united Miss Bertha Soltis of Tacoma, and Heine Paulson of Treadwell, in the holy estate of matrimony. The groom is employed at Treadwell, while the bride arrived from Tacoma on the steamer City of Seattle which did not reach here until a few minutes before the hour at which the marriage took place As the new law, not only requiring a marriage license, but also increas ing the fee for the ceremony, went into effect only on the 3rd of this month. the young couple married last night has the distinction of being the first under the new law for the channel and the honor of performing the first ceremony under the new law is Judge Henson's. The couple married last night are the youngest on the records of the officiating com missioner. the groom being but 2 and the bride not yet 19 by a few weeks. They will make their home at Treadwel.

CURFEW LAW A DEAD ONE

DOUGLAS, July 5.--It is not that the officers of the law do not wish to do their duty, but that they are averse to arresting children but re- gently out of the long white robe of infancy that the curfew law of Doug las is a dead letter. But so flag rantly is the law being violated that the officers can not longer allow its violations to pass unnoticed. There are sections of town in which tots less than five years of age play out until as late as 10 o'clock and sometimes an hour later. The offic- ials have decided that something must be done to remedy existing con ditions and if children and their moth CTS crowd the municipal court room some morning, the latter will have no person to blame but themselves.

 Following the races came the base ball game, the contestants being the undefeated champions from Perse- verance and the Douglas Firemen's team. During the entire game the rain poured increasingly and the ball was as elusive as an eel and felt not unlike dead fish, making it diff ficult for the pitchers to exercise any control of it. However it was a rattling good game and many bril- liant plays were made, principal among them being a long throw by Anderson of Douglas center field to the home plate Both the pitch CTS, Herman for Perseverance, and Dermody for Douglas, did marvellous work, considering the conditions un der which they were placed by the rain. Hundreds who could not get seats in the crowded grandstand stood throughout the entire game while the water. toyed with the vet erans and Oozed out of their shoes The score was Perseverance 8, Doug las 3.

rons of ships have been taken by the navy for foreign service. All of these ships must be fully manned. Some of them are already in con- mission the crews being composed of men taken from war craft whose places must be promptly filled.
 The program is to add from 300 to 800 submarine chasers to the fleet, Counting a minimum of twenty men Ito a chaser about 10000 men will be used fer this purpose alone. Gen. eral Goethals has called for men for a thousand merchant vessels, which the shipping board is to build in the next eighteen months. On each of these vessels there will be full gun crews for at least four guns, as well as radio and signal men. This will mean a draft of from 30,000 to 40,- 900 men.
 More Line Officers Needed Fifteen merchant ships are still to be taken over. each requiring 750 men, or 10,250 in all. It is also the purpose to add 5000 men to the aviation corps. In addition, there will be need of men to man yachts which will be used for mine laying and sweeping A large number of tugs and other small craft will be sent abroad, also fully manned.
 The increase of the naval enlisted personnel will call for 3.400 line of- ficers. More than 400 officers will be added to the navy pay corps. The allotment of grades would pro- vide for an additional rear admiral. two new officers with the rank of captain and eighteen with the rank of commander.

RAIND0ES NOT

 ON THE ISLAND
Every Event Is Pulled Off; Irving Makes a Great Patriotic
 Speech.

DOUGLAS, July 5.-ADOut the Onl" variation in the weather of yesterday was that at times it rained harder than at other times. But something more than rain would have been necessary to damp en the ardor of Islanders on the natal day of the Republic. They had prepared for celebration and they had it, taking the program straight from top to bottom, from the first event at S:30 o'clock in the morning until the last mud-spattered base runner slide over the home plate at 6:15 o'clock in the murky mist of the evening, without missing any thing.
 Soaked2 Everything was wet, limp and tagging, save tnthusiasm. l At S:30 o'clock in the morning the Treadwell All-Star Band headed the mighty host from the mining town and marched down St. Ann Avenue to Douglas and at 9:30 o'clock the hose race started when some very pretty work was shown. Four teams were in competition, Douglas No. 3 winning first money in 20 seconds, and the Treadwell Machine Shop talk 1 ing second in 26 4-5 seconds. Doug l las No. 1 and Ready Bullion teams missed connection and ran again for third prize, both making remarkably good time, IS 4-5 and IS 2-5, the lat ter winning third Patriotic Exercises
 At the conclusion of the hose races the crowd went to the Natatorium, where the literary and patriotic exer- cises of the day were held. Chair man E. J. White of the celebration committee. called the audience to or der and invited Rev. E. s. Bollinger to lead in prayer, later introducing Mayor E. E. Smith, who made a few happy remarks and closed by intro ducing l.. C. Stringer, of Douglas, who made delightful and most op- portune address. After the National Anthem by the band, the chairman introduced Attorney George Irving, !. of Juneau, who delivered most ex- cellent and timely oration that was tingled throughout with patriotism, deepdyed Americanism and love of country. For elegance of dicti0n and vivacity of sentiment, both speakers acquitted themselves with honor and glory.
 The speaking at the Natatorium closed the exercises for the forenoon but at ? o'clock in the afternoon ev erybody was again on hands at the ball grounds where the track events were pulled off with the following re- suits:
 Mems 50-yard dash-Martini, An derson, Kletzing. | Mems S0-yard dash-Kletzing, Ker-' nan. Anderson.
