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.

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.
