The new church wan beun en June SI,

made en that day. The flrat sloue wan laid
en July 8 of the same year. The new struc
ture wan built up around tbe old ene, and
thus sorvicen wero net interrupted. The
dimensions of the old church were 1K by M
feet and accommodated 34.1 poeplo. The
prnsent church in 100 by flTi loot and has a
seating caiiaeity of 1,000. The base or the

cornerstone of the church wan laid with Im

Nhanahan, blnhep of Uarrlsbttrg. The coro cero core
monlra en that occasion were marked by a
iwrade of the Catholic hocIeIIoh, of which
eh n llanslng was chief marshal.
The completed building has u aplendld
front en (St. Josenh stroet, and is built arter
the old claixlcal l'.enian style of archltecture.
Three stately towers rise, from the centre et
which the spire pelnu heavenward. The
walls are of prensed brick laid In black mor
tar, and the threo entrances are by lieavy
oaken doers, which lead Inte n estlhiile and
thenee Inte the main auditorium. It should
be mentloued that the preaeut spire la only
temporarily fixed. The new brick work ex
tends as far up as the clock part or the tower,
but In the near future a new spire will be
added that will be many feet hlgher than the
present one.

The Intorler of the building Is very boititl beititl

is particularly tasteful. Kev. Clrotemyer ex

contain only plain glasn, but It in (he inten
tion te place, lnslde the present glass, glass
of a stained variety, which will net only add
te the beauty et the church but te Its warmth
during the winter. The spacious gallery
oeutalns the old organ of the church which
has'been retouched. Here also are some of
tbe old pewH that long wero placed In the
body of the church.
A large basement is undorueath most of
the auditorium, and here Bemcea have been

Which le Make Application,
The inarrlage llonnne law ban bad ene
year's trial In thnstate et Pennsylvania, and
there Is but llttle complaint against Ibl pro pre
visions. The principal objectors te It are a
few clergymen, whose parishioners skipped
te New Jersey te get married. The questions
asked In seme or the counties of this com
monwealth by the clerk issuing the marriage
license are numerous and frivolous. In
Htieks and ethor countles nineteen questions
ate aiked the applicant for matrimonial bliss.
Lancaster county's clerk asks as few ques
tions an possible, and he has reduced the
tiumlwr of questions te seven. They are :
Age of the groom, of tbe bride, applicant
evor marrrled, weuld.be brlde ever married,
realdence of groom, of bride, and whether
any Impediment exists by roaseu of relation
ship botweeu the parties.
During the past year til.l marriage licenses
were issued by Clerk Keller. Of that num
ber seven woreot the Quaker faith, leaving
UM licenses Issued for all ethor denomina
tions vi f that number '2 were never re
turned, and the presumption Is that the inar inar
rlaeo ceremony was net performed In at
listst 20 of these cases. The only ene te re ro re
eort te the clerk the failure te return a inar inar
rlaeo certltlcate wan a young countryman,
who said the girl's (Mrents would net allow
her te wed him. lie holds en te the I Icen no
yet, and still heKM that some day they will
change their minds and allow the marriage
ie inau piscu.
Tin: mtsT da v.
On the first dsy en which the law went
Inte elfect Clerk Keller had a large number
of visitors, among them many et the younger
membersnf the bar, all of whom wanted te
sue the llrnt license granted. They lounged
about the olllce all that day, but net an appli
cant p resen ted hlmsell. Karly In the morn
ing of the secend day or October last year,
however, a young man working In tbe coun
try, but whose home wan In tills city, stepped
up te the counter, answered all the questions
sitlsfaflerlly and was granted a license, for
which Win. D. Weaver, a bachelor lawyer,
fiald, he having agreed te pay for the tlrst
Iceuse Issued, no matter who the applicant
wan. Kev. C. Llvln Houpt snlemnized the
tnarrlage or the couple named In the first
license.

As will be seeu by the above, September
wan the beat aud July tbe worst month.
Thore wan net mero than a deien working
dajs In the year en which licenses were net
Issued. Saturday and Monday appear te have
been the favorite days, the year out. The
greatest number Issued en ene day was 12,
which number wan Issued en two occasions,
the 7th of Nevember of last year, and Oraiid
Army day, a lew weeks age. Thore wero
lower licenses Issued en Friday than en any
ether day.
The ages or the applicants varied from H te
(K The lormer agu wan that of the yenngent
brlde, and the latter the age of the eldest
groom. Nlno-tenlhaof the applicants were
between the ages of lb and 30, and nlne times
out of ten the groom wan the eldest.
The In rtibLluKNCKUafewmenths age pub
lished many Interesting statistics In reference
te marriage licenses, showing discrepancies
holween the parties an te ages, happenings
connected with the Issuing el inarrlage II II II
cotisea aud ether notes of Interest.

The clerk of the court leeks for a better bunl bunl
ness tlie coming yetr, aud he gives as rea
sons fur the faith that In in him that the
young poeplo new knew exactly what they
Tiavote dn te procure h llccufce. When the
law tlrst went Inte etfect, there were all sorts
of rumors atleat about the questions asked
and that scared many, who Instead of giving
Lancaster preachers a chance at Ibem,
skipped evor the river te Jercey aud were
wedded where no questions weroasked.
Tbe rocerdn show that Lvncasler brides
wero in demand se tar an ether states and
territories are concerned. One applicant
came from Fert Ilulnrd, Dakota, te Lancas
ter for his brlde ; nearly overy Wostern state
sent a representative and several of the
Southern states new claim Laucaster county's
daughters as their residents.
ltLSKWIIItrti: IN TUB hTATI-
Lebanon county's clerk Issued 2U9 licenses
during the year aud Schuylkill county leads
Lancaster a trllle, l,02,ri having been issued
In that county, but then woareuearortoNew
Jerxey than Potts vllle la.
The Philadelphia 7Hmc.t ban thin te say
about the law : The new inarrlage law, which
has heen In operation one year, seems te have
rosulted, se far an thin city In concerned, In
allowing the Camden preachers te perform
twenty-ttve per cent, of the Philadelphia
marriage ceremonies and pocket the fees.
This, however, does net argue against the
general geed ellectef the law. Of the two
thousand couples who went across the
Delaware te be married thore were prohably prehably
iiiany who could net have secured a llcensa
under the Pennsylvania law, and knew they
could net. Te this number must be added
these who ter various reasons were anxious
their marriages should be kept secret. Te
thin must also be added the usual proportion
of fellows who think that te beat the legal
elllclals out eT fifty cents a sign el exceptional
smartness. On the whole, the probabilities
are that the 0,007 inarrlage licenses represent
the bulk of the number who ought te have
get married auy way and tbe law Is te be
credited with having glven no countenance
te clandestine or otlerwlse improper mar
riages. It In a pity that New Jersey hasn't
an senslble a inarrlage law.
