A young nan who is very evidently hovering In tnat uncertainty between the blissful stat of holding young worn in s liund throe hours every night and the danger of mussing the creases in lus trousers by (jetting on his knees before tiiis young lady, write The TrIBDNI as follows: Si'BWTon', Jan. U, 1SIH. Editor Of The Tumi xr: Dbak sut- seeking Information, i know of no better source thau through your jour nal, if not too muoh trouble, will you at an early.date kiudly print in TltK Titni i m: Pact! regarding the marriage license. What 1 wish to know is: First- Is it necessary that the names of parties obtaining license be published V Second -Must notice of marriage be pub lished' Thud Is license obtained in one couutv cf this state good anywhere in Pennsyl vania or only ia county where granted? Fourth Form id application for licettsei By complying with above request you will greatly oblige yours trulv, A SUBSORIBSR. If the tit irriug 9 license editor of The TribUMI only knew which particular subscriber of this paper's many thou sands is the author of the above he could hotter famish the desired infor mation. It might be that Punch's ad vice of "Don't" might be applicable to Subscriber." The editor's ideas re frding tiie questions asked are of the opaque variety to much in vogue now adays among newspaper men who are compelled by the pleasures of their occupation to labor from fourteen to twenty-three aud a half hours a day. However, with tho aid of the offlje boy, be will do his best to enlighten "Sub scriber.'' Fust question: "Is it necessary that the natnea of parties obtaining license be published?" IT IS SOT NECESSARY. Tim editor of Thk Tumi ne Joes not thiuk it tiny more necessary to print the names of all persons who pay 00 cents for a marriage license thau it is to eat pie with the aid of a fork. Still it's quite fashionable, and "Subscriber1 should follow the prevailing style re gariiiug this matter.

It must, if any of the hustling young reporters of a well regulated newspaper like thu TuiHiNE Knows of the event. "Sub scribers" friends would all bi greatly delighted to hear that he has agreed to pay a young lady's board biil for au indefinite prioJ. Besides, a wedding i- wav ahead of Christmas, or a birth day so far as the matter of presents from loving friends aud rslatives is concerned. UCEKBEOOOD FOR OKI COUNTY. Tidrd question- "Is a license ob tained in one county of this state good wuywhere in Pennsylvania, or only in the county where granted';'1 The editor regrets very much to state t.. fcul seribar that if he gets a marriage license in Lackawanna county lie must patronlss the home ministers. aldermen, or justices of the peace. This is in keeping with the true Republican pol icy of protecting local industries. Bnt if "Subscriber" and the young lwlv upon whom he calls every night are petint persons, they can, by waiting until Oct, I, 1805, secure a license at tho Lackawanna court house and me ander over to Wayne, Sturjuehantis, Luaerne, or in fact any other county in the state, where the marriage license Will be found to work just us well as here at home. But wn would advise "Subscriber" not to wait, as the aver age young lady is mighty fickle, and she may at some near day or night -object to the not altogether pleasant odor of a celluloid collar, and want to rend in twain their mutual agreement of love, sweet love. Fourth question: "Form of marriage licenses?' The &C&ANTON TftllitST. is sold for 3 cents a copy, whereas a mnrriage li cense costs 60 cents. We a re afraid that genial Clerk of the Courts Tliomns would object if we ruined his marriage licenes business. We have information in great large wads and we aro always :::- I to distribute it among our fri"nds, bnt we are rVher shy on mar ringe licenses.

SHE INVESTED HER MONEY. According to Mrs. Rosenngh-'s story told on thestaiid yosterd By Judge Hund ley told her tho coinp iny was doing a prosperous business and displayed a book showing her that he had a large block of stock iu it aud that other prominent citizjns of the city were sl,o stockholders. He told her the stock would pay six per cent, dividends, and personally agreed to pay her that amount. Ou this ahowiug she agreed to take thirty shares of the stock at par, and a certificate was accordingly made Out for her. At that time she did not know the works of tho Wyoming Man ufacturing company consisted of a coal mine in West Virginia. On her stock she was paid by Judge Haiidley three seuii-aunuai dividends of if!i() each. Tbey w.re paid in Jnlv, 1884; January, 1885, and July, 1886. o June, 1880, she received a copy ot ths Star of Charleston, West Virginia, which conveyed to her the unpleasant Information that the Wyoming Manu facturing company was insolvent and that the coal works on the Kinawt river were about to lie sold at commis sioners' sale. She never re.iliz-d any thing on the sfS, 000 stock she had in tho company. Although sho demanded that Judge ilandley nuke good the amount sue hud lost in the company, he refused to do it. EX-.ICUHE HANUl.F.V TKSTldES. Ex-Judge John Ilandley was called by the plaintiff on cross examination alter Mrs. Kosenagle had retired from the stand. He said that he was presi dent of the Wyoming Manufacturing company but never drew a cent ol money as salary although the company allowed him one, The company began operations in Wfst Virginia iu 18M and the follow ing year the board ot directors decided to give two shares of stock for one to new stockholders as an iiidiicvineut for people to ir.veHt. This extra share of stock was in the nature of au advance dividend. Tho company wanted money to build a railroad troin its coal works on the mountain across the valley to the Kanawa river so that its coul could he shipped in boats and took that means of raising it He allowed Mrs. Rrnenagle to elect whether ahe would take thu two for one stock or purchase a portion of his stock at par and receive the guarantee of a dividend. She took the stock at par, as she wanted an assured income from her investment. He felt that he could safely guarantee tho dividend, as he bad great faith in the future of the compuny, (STOCK ABOVE PAR. "What did you consider Hie stock worth at that time'.'

Ill Associated chari ties has taken up tho mutter in dead earnest, and a test cn-e is to be made. For years the city tins been infested with a class who, although being not in needy iliroumstBUCSS, instruct their progeny to daily go out begging from door to door, asking for and taking everything conceivable, from a loaf Of bread to a pair of shoes, a hut, a shawl, a dress or a coat. Even iu the city's most prosperous condition the begad ng has been prac ticed with profit, ami the mendicants are not confined to any particular por Hon of the city. CHrls, and even boys ot tender years, aro sent out. and in stead of Independence mid selfreliance, they are taught to become hypocrites and prevaricators The public generally will rejoice Hint an end is to be put to this disgraceful practice, and il tho effort proves suc cessful, as it undoubtedly will, it will aid very materially in separating the deserving from tho unworthy, and will place the latter class where it properly belongs, behind the bars of our penal Institutions. A 'I EST CASE. A little girl, apparently under IS years of age, is the first person to be arrested, and a test cuBe Is to be made of her. The little one, who is from the West Side, was picked up on Lacka wanna avenue yesterday. She gave her name us Uumbrowsld and ad mitted that she und her mother went f i oiii door todoor hogging. The mother herself is liable to prosecution for send ing the chili) out in the deplorable coil ditiou in which she was found. She was in a pitiable condition when found. Siie was illy clad and, judging from her appearance, the water mains ot the Scranton tins an 1 Water com pany are not laid in tho vicinity of her home. The little one wan picked up by Mrs. Pettigrew and taken to Colonel Rip ple's office in the Third National bank. An officr was sent for aud thu little Waif was then taken to the city hall. Eater in the day Mrs Dnggan applied soap and water with 'good effect and the child was then sent to the orphan age, whets she will remain until Mayor Oonusll'S return from New York, when the hearing will take plat.

Colonel Ripple, president of the As sociated Charities, thus defined the intentions of his organisation in tbS premises to a TRIBUNE reporter last evening: "We aro acting in the cause of hu manity. We want to put an end to bogging, it is our desire to separata those worthy of relief from tnose that are not. To the former class we will accord nil that the msana at our dis posal will allow.
