Th! Enlarged Ptiladelpbia Sunday Prei-
The Sunday I'rets is a pretty large
paper already, but it is impossible to
get into it ail we wish without making
it still larger. beginning with next
.Sunday, April 26, therefore, the Sun
day '-rr readers will find two big
color arid half-tone sections added to
what they have been receiving hereto
fore. One of the new sections will be es
pecially tor women, and will be con
ducted by Anne Rittenhouse. It will
be a magazine of fashion, beauty,
strength, social customs and every
thing that is understood to be of
ipecial interest to w.jinen readers.
Voting people read the Vrrx but
they want a larger representation in
it, so the second ne color section
will be for children of all ages. They
will find there puz.'es, games, stories,
conrcsand instruction in how to make
things. A fascinating serial story,
"The New Uoy at Dale," will begin
in the first issue of this young people's
color section.
This means no diminution of
strength, variety or interest in the
other sections of the paper. Buyers
of the Sunday J'rtss will get all they
have been accustomed to with a great
deal of bright, lively and interesting
matter in addition. It will pay for
everybody to get the Philadelphia
Sunday 'rest of April 26.

Anti i ree Lunch biil, which was

The bill provides that no saloon

Governor gives the fo'.lowinjf rea
sons for not signing the bill:
This bill makes it unlawitil for
aiv Honor dealer 'to give in con
nection therewith any c-ataV.es in
the form of meals or lunch except
crackers, cheese and pretzels.' The
bill doe not make the violation of
its provisions either a crime or a
misdemeanor, but it provides that
upon conviction the dealer shall be
subject to a penalty of S'oo. There
is nothing to indicate what is the
force of the word

it should be an olfense for a man j
who is making a sale to give some- i

do it. If it be wrong to make a
gift, it is difficult to understand
why there should be an exception
in favor of crackers, cheese and
pretzels. A roll or a piece of bread
would appear to be as innocent as
either a cracker or a pretzel. It is
not wise to enact legislation which
is so easily evaded. If the bill
should become a law there would
appear to be no difficulty in selling
the crackers, cheese and pretzels
and giving away the liquor or in
making a sale of the liquor, crack
ers, cheese and pretzels for the
same price at which the liquor
would otherwise !: sold.

The Marriage License Law-
The Officers Are More Inquisitive Now
Than Before.
Hereafter clergymen and others au
thorized by law to solemnize marri
age will receive ail information re
garding the parties to whom the
licenses are issued under the new act
passed and approved by the governor
on March 27th. The require
ments of the new law provide that
the license shall state whether A. 13.
and C. D. are of full age and whether
married before. If neither of said
parties be not of the full age of
twenty-one years then in lieu of the
words "of full age" his or her age
shall be stated and the ract of con
sent of parents or guardians shall like-1
wise be stated and if either of said J
parties shall have been married pre-1
viously to the issuing of such licescE, '
then, in lieu to the words "never pre-!
viously married," the number of times I
he or she shall have been previously
married and the mode by which said
prior marriage or marriages was or
were dissolved, shall he stated and if
by divorce, the cause for which such
divoice shall have been granted.
This act gives the marriage clerk con
siderable more work, he being com
pelled not only to ask many questions
but also to send all his information to
the officiating clergyman or jus'ice.

Ithaca'Concert Band.
The Ithaca Band comes to us with
a reputation second to no other band
in the State of New York, and its
leader, Mr. V. S. Conway, has won
an enviable place among bandmasters
by the excellence of his programmes,
and the ensemble music which he
gets from his carefully selected 40
men. The men made so great a
reputation at the Pan Am. Exposi
tion that the '-Express" of that city
speaks of their concert as follows :
"The expressions of piaise given the
band at the Pan-Am. were none too
extravagant, as certainly no such
music was ever given out by any
j band in the State, and as the Buffalo
I papers said, no band could be com
pared with it except Sousa's or the
marine band at Washington, as cer
tainly Mr. Conway is a worthy suc
cessor of that Irish bandmaster,
Patrick Sarsfield Gilmore."
