THE COURSE OF LOVE.
Getting a Marriage License.
From the Chicag^Tribune.
Mr. M. Salmonson, who was formerly
tnarriage-li cense clerk for Cook county, has
produced —probably in the belief that all
the world loves a lover—a highly entertain
ing book concerning his experiences with
many thousands of persons who were on the
verge of matrimony. “From the Marriage-
License Window: An Analysis of the Char
acteristics of the Various Nationalities” is its
title, and it is for sale by the author. The
curious crisis in the lives, of people
which leads them to get a permit to marry
has been found by this observant official to
bring into prominence a countless variety
of amusing characteristics. It is clear that
the author appreciated the humor and
pathos of all he saw while looking out upon
countless bridegrooms and brides. Without
stirring from his office stool he beheld
couples in a marrying mood who hailed from
every country under the sun. He has
sketched race peculiarities, customs and
prejudices in a manner which is not only
interesting but valuable. The book affords
a bright and entertaining view of Chicago’s
wonderfully mixed population. There are
plenty of droll stories given. Here is one
of a nervous bridegroom:
“ ‘Yes,’ he says, with a little trembling in
his voice, ‘she has been married before; she
is a widow; her name is Miss R .’
“ ‘But I understood you to say that she is
a widow.’
“ ‘Yes, she is in a certain way, but by a
special decree she got the permit to resume
her maiden name.’
“The conception of the real fact is now
clear to the mind of the clerk. Her ‘de
ceased’ husband is only dead to her ; it is a
figurative demise, and his own living self
may be seen pacing the streets of Chicago
or some other place.”
Other good things gathered at random
from the book are here given:
“It happened once that a young man
let us call him Smith—signed the affidavit
‘Smith & Co.’ It was the force of habit
that made him sign the firm’s name. He
laughed heartily when the mistake was dis
covered. Sometimes such a young man has
not fixed the day for his wedding; he will
marry when he gets time.
“When a young man strides up to the
license window and, after having searched
his coat pocket, produces a double set of
certificates of births, certificates of vaccina
tion, certificates of confirmation, and some
times a certificate of his discharge from the
army, there is never a doubt of nis nation
ality—he is a German. In his native coun
try he always had to substantiate his iden
tity on all occasions. He comes from a
military country, where discipline is a law
strictly adhered* to and where any laxity of
duty is punished accordingly. As the young
man perhaps for the first time since his
arrival in this country finds himself in a
public office, it is quite natural that hi
should prepare himself for any emergency.
He is sometimes astonished to learn that the
clerk does not ohre to examine his certifi
cates and that he can get married in Chicago
without being vaccinated.
“A young man of anything but prepos
sessing appearance applied for a license.
When asked to raise his hand, both went up,
and he struck a position of suspicious char
acter when caught by the police and
searched at the station. It was later found
out that he was really a notorious person
who, in raising both'hands or arms, fol
lowed the force of habit. He is now doing
time in the penitentiary.
“A groom had taken out a license when
the door suddenly sprang open and his
fiancee came staggering in, throwing her
onus about his neck. She had been drink
ing, there was no doubt, for her breath told
the whole story. The couple wanted to be
married immediately, and the groom seized
the opportunity to explain that the lady was
not drunk.
“‘What else is the matter with her?’ in
terposed a bystander, on whose toes the
lady stepped with no light foot.
“‘I can’t tell, I am sure, uifless what a
doctor once told me concerning myself was
true, that I was loaded with too much mag
netism, that might influence my nearest
surroundings and bring them in a kind of
hypnotic or comatose condition. I guess
we better postpone the wedding till to-pior
row,’
“The next day the couple returned to the
office, wishing to know where to find a
justice. The bride-expectant was then in a
perfectly sober condition, while the groom
was strongly intoxicated.
“ ‘He is not drunk,’ the g ! rl explained,
‘but only suffering from intermittent fever.
He has for awhile been suffering, as you see
him now, every second day.’
“What a terrible fate? She being in a
hypnotic condition the day he is free from
fever, and he being sick the d-., Chen the
effect of her hypnotic condition is over.
“An elderly man in a very talkative mood,
having humorously depicted the life he had
lived with two of his deceased wives,
stretched out his hand to bid good-bv to the
clerk. Without any definite intention he
was finally greeted with the words “Call
again,' when he suddenly, with a violent
jerk, took back his hand, remarking that he
did not enjoy that kind of a joke.
“There are days in the year when a
license clerk will do well in preparing him
self for a more than ordinary large throng
of applicants. There are the immediate
days before the glorious Fourth, Christmas,
Thanksgiving day, and New Years.”
Monday of each week is a busy day for
the figeuse clerk. It is thought to be a lucky
day by. many, and the effect of Saturday
night balls and Sunday visits may also ble
observed on the marriage-license market.
Tuesday and Wednesday are light days.
Thursday is “fanners day,” many couples
coming from the country to lie married in
Chicago. Friday being unlucky according
to popular belief, affords littlo business,
while Saturday is too late in the week to be
more than a moderately busy day.
A HOPELESS ENTERPRISE.
The Panama Canal Doomed to Early
Abandonment.
FVom the NeufiYark Times.
M. Boulange, a French engineer who re
cently came from Panama to recuperate his
health, talked in English and his native lan
guage about De Lesseps’ groat canal scheme
last evening before the American Society of
Civil Engineers. Ho is a compact, wiry lit
tle man, with close-cropped black hail - and
a complexion tanned to a copper color, and
wears gold spectacles. What looked like a
plaster cast, but which in reality was a
unique model of the Isthmus with the line
of the canal marked in blue —the gift of De
Lesseps to the society—was conspicuous on
an easel and was used by the guest of the
evening for illustration. M. Boulange has
been three years attached to the canal eu
flneers’ corps from France, and therefore
new what he was talking about.
“The construction of the canal,” he said,
“has been very difficult work, and the com
pletion will be much more difficult. I have
grave doubt-s that it can lie finished, and, if
it is, the cost will be three or four times
what has already been expended. The New
York steam drill is being used by some of
the contractors, but witl such little success
at certain points that only about 11 ve blast
holes are made an hour. The climate is very
discouraging, and none of the engineers who
had plans for necessary dams could remain
long enough on the ground to finish them.
I was obliged to return to France inysolf,
and when I got home the isthmus fever
prostrated me for three months consecu
tively. •
“Even at this late day there is not a first
class map or profile of the canal. Neither
are them any official data of practical value
to the surviving engineers.”
For those and other reasons M. Boulange
thought the gigantic undertaking would
eventually be abandoned. Sneaking of what
had been done and tho cost, nesaid:
“Not more than one-fifth of the work luw
been done, or about ;50,000,(K)0 cubic metres
out of 140,000,000 cubic metres have lieen
excavated. It has cost 800,000,000f., equal
to about £200,000,000. Nothing has been
done in Colon harbor, but about 10 miles of
the canal route inland from tao harbor uas
been opened up. It is true, as reported, that
a dredge did not shift its position for six
weeks having all it could do churning out
iS.OTox? ?^ ay ‘ The great cut, which is to
5? * V' ln cl ?P t h, has been dug out about
tS-- 1 • the original survey made by Lieut,
Wise is of little value. There is very little
sand in the soil, but plenty of clay and more
solid rock. A considerable portion of the
route is through swamps and has not been
surveyed. Owing to the peculiar formation
of the rock in the big cut the blasting will
have to be more extensive than was at first
calculated.
!S rea f J has been experienced in
getting laborers owing to the unhealthy cli
mate. I was four months getting six men.
v\e have sent to Trinidad, Hong-Kong, and
other remote places with varied success.
We got about 800 Chinese, and they brought
then- own cooks and physicians for sanitary
reasons. Sixty per cent, of the common
laborers die each year. Eighty per cent, of
the whites perish. Last year our society
sent 73 engineers, agents', clerks, etc., to
ranama, and there are 11 of us left fit for
work. Forty-five died and the remainder
are as good as dead. It is a fact that there
is a sliding mountain on the line of work
which is, and promises to cause, no end of
trouble. Scotch dredges only are in use.
We got 170 coolies to go to work after
much time and money, and they stand the
climate and labor better than any other
class.
“We have funds enough on hand to con
tinue the work about four months. After
the money is exhausted I think De Lesseps
will be forced to abandon the enterprise for
goxi or for some years at least. The scar
city of money, impracticability of the pre
sent route, and unexpected obstacles are
reasons sufficient.
“It rains about nine months of the year
on the isthmus, day and night. The three
dry months are not entirely free of rain
either. The result is that thereare frequent
freshets along the line, and portions of the
work have had to be rebuilt repeatedly. At
one point, in January, 1888, the water rose
21 feet in six hours, and not only destroyed
our railroad bridge, but other valuable
superstructures. ”
M. Boulange was tendered a vote of thanks
by the society.
A TRAMP’S STORY.
The Prodigal Son Actually Driven
From His Father’s Door.
From the New York Evening Sun.
A stranger stood opposite a Forty-seventh
street house evening, one of a curious
crowd that had gathered to see a bridal
couple leave on their wedding tour. The
house was lighted from top to bottom and
filled with a merry throng, while in the
front parlor stood the bride and groom bid
ding farewells to friends. Wraps were
donned. A gray-haired mother wept on her
daughter’s shoulder, and kissed her a dozen
times or more while the father earnestly
talked with the man to whom he had given
his daughter. His parting handshake was
long and hearty, and at last the couple
were whirled away to the train. A hand
ful of rice was thrown from the area, and
the servants laughed as it struck the car
riage.
The crowd dispersed, and as the stranger
turned to go he bumped against a shabby
looking fellow.
“Scuse me, sir,” said the latter; “rather
toney affair that, eh?”
“Well, yes, rather.”
“Think she’ll be happy, my boy?”
“I guess so,” was the reply, and the
stranger started up toward Broadway. The
tramp followed. “Hold on, boss,” he plead
ed, ‘ ‘have you a dime about your clothes fer
a poor cuss that’s hungry?”
“Do you want a drink or a meal?”
“Something to eat, boss. I’m hungry. ”
“Well, really I have nothing but car
fore in my pocket. Why don’t you strike
the remnants of that wedding supper over
there?”
“Do you think they would give me any
thing to eat?”
“No harm to try it. Come, I will go over
and watch your venture.”
“Thank you, sir; I’ll try it.”
Crossing the street the man talked to him
self and said something about the prodigal
son. When he stopped under the gaslight
there were tears in his eyes and his hands
shook like palsy.
“I’ll get fired, I know I will, but here
goes.”
He mounted the steps, rang the bell with
a fierce pull, and a seavantcanietothe door.
He said something and the servant retired,
shutting the door leaving the tramp in the
vestibule. A tall, portly, gray-haired man
opened the door. The tramp removed his
hilt and again spoke. The man listened,
and then retorted loud enough to reach the
stranger’s ears, “No, sir! not a mouthful!
not a cent! get off my doorstep!” and
then slammed the door iu the poor fellow’s
face.
He came down the steps and joined the
stranger.
“Just as 1 expected. Treated worse than
a dog would be, but I’m case hardened.
I’m used to it. Might as well ask for a
brown stone front as a piece of bread and
butter.”
“Well, here’s my car fare. I’ll walk
homo.”
“Live far?”
“Two miles.”
“Well, boss, if I wasn’t starving I wouldn’t
take it. You would think amid so much
plenty that man might have given me a
meai, wouldn’t you f"
“Certainly; but then he may be annoyed
by tramps. ' You should have gone to the
basement door.”
“Huh! I have a right to go to the front
door. My dear sir, there are strange things
happening in this world. I’ll tell you, be
cause you are a brick. That happy bride is
my twin sister, and that man, who is worth
half a million, is my father.”
A Base Ball Sermon.
Rev. Mr. Woolsock, popularly known as
“the Deacon,” in his sermon up the creek
last Sunday, as reported by the Oil City
Derrick , made a few remarks pertinent to
base ball. Pointing out of the window at a
game in progress on the adjoining Wilson
flats he said: “See that loiter with the bird
cage on his head standing like a straddle
bug behind the bat. He is not desecrating
the Sabbath day by playing ball, because he
isn’t playing ball. He can’t play. He im
magines he can, of course, aud he goes
through all the painful contortions of a real
ball player; but in the devil’s score-book he
is charged ten times over for every error
and a nice record he will have when the
season is over and the time for his eternal
rest should be at hand. It will be a sorry'
eternal rest for him.”
Just then someone made a long hit, and a
shout went up from the crowd.
“Yes, hoopla!” yelled the deacon, raising
his voice above the din, “hoopla till tho
cows come home, but unless you raise your
voices in hosannas to the Lord, you will
never reach the shining home-plate of ever
lasting life. That was a long hit to centre
and I give his ml* there credit for taking it
in, but the devil will take him in just as
slick on the last inning of all. You may
send in your curved halls, and smash the
leather in the nose to the right or to the left
field; you may steal from bag to bag and
slide in home on your pantaloons, but finally
you will get a goose egg in the kingdom come.
Aye, |xmnd on the jsjaly gates with your
base ball bat, but if there is a shadow of a
Sundav game on it, down to tho eternal
roast you go. Saint Peter careth not
whether vou belong to the Sniqidrogons or
the Whaiigdoodles; if you swing your fes
tive willow and pound the bags on Sunday,
sultpetre will not save you. There goes an
other long hit to left, and another howl goes
up from the assembled crowd of dudes and
loafers. Chase the ball, aye, leg it till your
ungodly heels beat a tattoo on your coat
tails, but my word for it, the devil will
never got away from your elbow. Old
Clootie is a base runner and a ball chaser
himself, and he will stay with you till his
own dominions freeze over and have to lie
abandoned for an ice pond.” The deacon
made a few more remarks, exhorting his
boarers to shun the seductive boll field and
the trout pond on Sunday, and announced
services next Sabbath morning and evening
at the rwi schoolhouso in Sugoivi oek,
THE MORNING NEWS: MONDAY. JUNE 20. 1887.
A VERY HASTY MARRIAGE.
A Strange Story Told by a Woman at
Sanitary Headquarters.
From the New York Times.
Jennie Schneider, a native of Riga, who
says she is 35, but who appears to be 40, and
weighs at least 325 pound?, had an odd story
to tell Deputy Register Nagle at Sanitary
Headquarters. She came to this country in
1880, and is a Jewess, speaking hardly
any English and very poor German.
Four years ago she became the ser
vant of a pawnbroker in East Eightieth
street, and on Sunday, Juno 5, a friend,
Annie Sammt, asked her to take a walk with
her. They went to Annie’s brother’s, at 9
Avenue B, and Mr. and Mi’s. Sammt began
to condole with her because she was a ser
vant. Jennie admitted that she had to work
very hard and had little leisure. Why didn’t
she get married was asked. Jennie replied,
with a half-acre of blush, that it was polite
to wait until one was asked. The Saimnts
said they knew a nice young man made to
order who was dying to get married and
was able to support a wife, as ho earned $35
a week as cutter in a clothing house. Jen
nie became nervous and embarrassed, but
finally confessed to a feeling of weakness
for moe young men and a horror of spin
sterbood, and so the choice of the Sanimts
was sent for. He said he was Adolph Brau
liet and pleased Jennie, who confessed to a
fortune of slll sewed up in her under
clothing, some small change and four gold
rings worth SBO.
She was willing to marry Braunet, but
pleaded want of preparation for such a seri
ous undertaking. Braunet and the Sanimts
worried her until she consented to be mar
ried immediately, and Mrs. Kanimt took
her to the Mikeveh„pr ante-nuptial bath,
and aided her in performing her ablutions.
On her return to the Sanunt’s apartments
all was ready for the ceremony, and a rabbi
was sent for. He proved to be a greasy,
curly-haired fellow, clad in a klaftan and a
skull cap, and he speedily made Jennie and
Adolph one. Then he gave the bride what
purported to be a marriage certificate in
Hebrew, which had been signed by two
witnesses unknown to her, and which had
not been signed by either tho rabbi or
Adolph. After the rabbi had gone Mr.
Sammt took Jennie aside and demanded $lO
for brokerage. She l ipped open the depos
itory of her fortune and gave him in the
money. When she returned to her husband
he said it was usual in such cases to realize
on the wife’s assets as quickly as possible,
and he swindled her out of slOl and the
rings. Then a couple of quarts of beer were
drank and Adolph departed, saying he was
foing to buy furniture, but was called back
y Mr. Sammt, who dunned him for SSO
due for board and got the money. Jennie
pined at Sammt’s until Tuesday, spending
all the money she had.
In the afternoon Adolph appeared. He
was much interested in her welfare, wanted
to know if she had worried, and showed a
bill for furniture which he had put in an
apartment at 49 Tillary street, Brooklyn.
He had to be off immediately to see about
his trunk, which he had forwarded, and
threw a kiss at his better two-tliirds as he
jumped on an Avenue B car. Jennie pro
cured an express wagon and, accompanied
by Mr. Sammt, went to Brooklyn
with her trunk. At the house on
Tillary street Adolph received them
and took Jennie to an unfurnished room.
He left her almost immediately, saying that
he had to go and see about the furniture,
but he did not return, and Jennie found
that his trunk, which had been left down
stairs, hail been emptied. Yesterday, hav
ing procured some money from a * friend,
she went to the Essex Market Police Court
and for $5 a shyster lawyer gave her the
information that when she produced a cer
tificate of her marriage from sanitary head
quarters she could procure a warrant for
Adolph’s arrest. No certificate was on file,
and Jennie was advised to take more severe
measures against Sammt, Braunet and
company.
TROUBLE IN HONOLULU.
A Revolution Threatened in the Sand
wich Islands.
A dispatch from San Francisco to the
New York Times says: News from Hono
lulu, brought here by the steamer Australia,
which arrived to-day, shows that the gov
ernment there has been searching for and
detaining arms on the ground of public
safety. It is claimed that the people have
become exasperated at the King's uction in
fortifying the palace walls and taking in
supplies of ammunition there, and that the
American and British residents huve ap
pealed to their respective governments for
protection, and h%ve asked that a man-of
war be ordered to Honolulu. It was even
rumored that a revolution has begun.
Rev. Dr. J. A. Crusean, who has been in
Honolulu for several years and who re
turned on the Australia, said: “IVhen I
left Honolulu on June 7 the place was in a
condition of seething discontent, but the
King had not been deposed. What has
happened since, of course, I don’t know nor
do 1 believe any one else outside of Hono
lulu has any accurate information. Every
body in the islands had agreed that some
change ought to nnu must at once tuke place
in the mode of government. The Chinese, I
am told, have been arming themselves of
late with rifles and revolvers. A rifle corps
has also lieeu organized by the whole popu
lation of the island, ostensibly for target
practice. The Chinese are the most discon
tented people iu Honolulu. There are two
Chinese companies there, one of
which paid tho King SBO,OOO
for the opium monopoly, $30,000 of
which was turned over to the Treasury and
the remaing $50,000 retained by his Majesty
as “backsheeth.” Too] other company aho
Slid S7S,(XX) to the impecunious 'King.
uring the reign of the fourth King a bill
was presented to him for his approval by
which a civic government was to be estab
lished. In a furious rage he.tore the docu
ment containing the radical innovation into
pieces, remarking hs he did so that he would
have no man in Honolulu bigger than him
self. Of the SO,(XX) inhabitants of the capi
tal about 8,000 are white. During my stay
in the island I was pastor of the Fourth-
Street Congregational church, which was
one of the principal churches which
the English and Americans attended
on Sunday. I have come to the Pacific
slope to remain and shall not return to Hon
olulu.
J. D. Sprockets, President of the Oceanic
Steamship Company, who has not lieen on
friendly terms with the Hawaiian govern
ment,owing to business conflicts, said: “Af
fairs arc almost in a revolutionary stage on
the islands. The extravagance and misman
agement of the kingdom of Kalakaua have
created a feeling of great
amrtng the foreign residents- ‘xLid 1 would
not lie surprised at some ai-riving
with news of such a state of aflßrs.” Tho
palace, he says, has been mrrioadod
and supplied with arms aii'^^itnmu
nition, fend citizens of
tries have gone so far A on
their home government w> HcnVJr.cn
of-war for their protection. Ac insOTnc.es
of the extravagance there, Mr. Spreckels
stated that. £40,000 had been expended on
the funeral of the King’s sister and £BO,OOO
in fitting out as a man-of-war a tub or a
steamer which hail lieen purchased origi
nally for £20,000, tho remaining £<!0,000
being expended on her equipment. In re
sponse to inquiries, Mr. Spreckels said the
roads on the islands were in bud condition
and in need of repuirs, and that tho harbor
needed dredging, none of which necessary
improvements were receiving attention.
He said that, in case of a revolution a re
public would probably be set up.

WALKING ON THE WATER.
A Frenchman Astonishes a Noisy
Crowd at Clark Street Bridge.
From the Chicago News.
A perspiring throng stood on the Clark
street bridge in the blazing sun an hour
yesterday watching a gentleman wearing a
silk hat and a Prince Albert coat strolling
along on the smoked-glass colored surface of
tho Chicago river. Alphonse King, tho
water pedestrian, was taking his usual after
noon exercise. Ho sauntered along the
water boulevard between the Clark and
Wells street bridges oil a bicycle, lifting his
hat to noisy admirers and smiling good
naturedly at sundry suggestions from the
docks. Then he put on his water gaiters
and strode out on the loud-smelling river.
Some persons said tho exhibition was not
a fair test, as the stench that lingers about
the Clark street bridge was strong enough
for a man to walk on.
Mr. King calls his water vehicle a bieyelo
probably because it has only one wheel.
That wheel is set between two tin tubes
pointed at each end. The tubes are about 8
inches in diameter and 10 feet long. The
wheel is armed with small paddle* and sur
mounted by a seat similar to that of th#
ordinary bicycle. A rudder at the stern be
tween the tubes guides the craft. Mr. King
made fair speed and rode with apparent
ease. The rear windows of the buildings on
South Water street were filled with men in
their shirt sleeves, who howled occasional
remarks of approbation at the slender
Frenchman. “Hi, there! cully, swing de
bridge,” shouted a burly dock hand. “Ilist
yer jib,” “Let go yer spanker,” roared a pair
of sailors.
Mr. King was nervous and a little squally
when he stepped into his big tin shoes and
saw the awful dose he would have to swal
low if he took a header into the murky,
filth-laden water. He contented himself
and satisfied the crowd with walking from
the west dock to the centre pier of the Clark
street bridge. His shoes are S3 inches long,
8 inches wide, and 9 ruches deep. In the
centre of each is a hole for the foot. On
the bottom are half a dozen paddles, which
drop into the water when the forward, slid
ing motion of the foot ceases, and prevent
it from slipping backward. One shoe slicks
its claws into the water, so to speak, while
the other is being moved forward.
The exhibition was especially satisfactory
to a Bible-reading marine, who wore a sage
brush patch on his chin and a red flannel
band around his neck. “Hooray for the
man who walks on the water,” he said,
jerking off Ills tattered soft hat. “Ye must
be a relative of Saint Fayter, the first man
who walked on the watar.”
SENSATION IN COURT.
A Woman Denounces the Judge as
Unjust.
From the Cincinnati Enquirer.
When Judge Matthews’ Divorce Court
was opened yesterday morning no one would
have thought that among the many females
present there was one who would have the
temerity to rise from her seat and denounce
the court as unjust. Yet such was the case.
The scene was sensational and created con
sternation in the court room for a few mo
ments.
The case of Margaret Gordon against
James S. Gordon was called tor trial. The
attorney for the defendant asked that the
case be laid over until October, as he could
not get some witnesses here whom he
wanted. To this Mrs. Gordon’s attorney
objected. He said he wanted a trial at once.
Since the suit was filed Mrs. Gordon has
been slandered in public places by the de
fendant, and there were witnesses in court
to prove it. They desired to have this mat
ter settled at once.
The defendant’s attorney replied in a
somewhat sarcastic tone, and Mis. Gordon
at once rose from her seat and started
toward him. Her blank eyes flashed fire
and the expression of her face meant busi
ness. She was held back by her friends,
however, and compelled to take her seat.
The court said he would lay the ease over
(intil October. Then came a scene. Mrs.
Gordon rose to her feet quick as a flash, and
straightening up to her full height
exclaimed: “That is not just!” She
was seized by her friends and again com
pelled to sit down. She was very much ex
cited. As she rose to leave the court room
she turned to her husband, who stood near,
and said: “This will do you no good, Mr.
Gordon.” His lip curled m a scornful smile,
but he made no answer. All was excite
ment for a few moments, and all eyes were
turned on the woman who had thus in her
excitement so far forgot herself as to de
nounce the court. Sue was led out of the
court room weeping bitterly.
