The Republican State 6011111110112
The Republican State Convention for the
nomination of delegates to the National con—
vention to be held at Chicago,was held Wed-
nesday last in New Haven. The attendance
was large, and the meeting quite spirited.
One of the features of the day was the intro-
duction of au_Edmunds resolution by Charles
Dudley Warner. gAnother feature of the
convention was _“Gus” Brandegee’s little
speech. The eloquent ex—COngressman from
New London let loose the American eagle in
fine stvle,arousing- immense enthusiasm. The
speech was a telling one. Mr, Warner, of
Middletown, also let loose a telling little
speech upon the convention. There was a
good speech also by the chairman, Mr. Treat,
of Bridgeport, who skillfully drew the por—
traits of the various men named for the White
House. Sam Fessenden had to yield also and‘
come to the front when the convention's work
was almost done, and be spread himself 31s
usual, causing much satisfaction to all.
The Convention was called to order by
Chairman Cole of the State Central Commit—
tee. He introduced the temporary chairman,
Mr. Alexander Warner, of Pomf'ret, who re~
turned thanks, and spoke (frequently being
interrupted by applause) of the Republican
party, its works, its bringing order out of
chaos, maintaining the honor of the old flag
sustaining liberty, while since the war it had
taken the ship of state out of many threaten-
ing dangers. We must go on until we see,
bullets are not substituted for ballots, until
all men are protected in the enjoyment of life,
liberty and the pursuit of happiness. ‘
Clinton Spencer of Sufileld,and E. M. War-
ner of I’lsinfield, were elected secretaries.
The following Committee on Permanent
Organization was appointed:

(cheers) _

Litchfield County. _
, Secretaries—E. M. Warner of .Pluinfield ;

The following were~clected as members of
the Committee on Resolutions. .
' 1, Charles Dudley Warner, Hartford.

Charles Dudley Warner, who as editor of
the Hartford Press,battled for the Republican
party when it was a weak and struggling in-
fant, arose and presented the following:
Resolved, That the Republicans of Con—
necticut desire the nomination at Chicago of
a candidate who will best unite all the votes
of all sections of the country, and whose
character is a party platform; and that it
recognizes in George F. Edmunds, of Ver—
mont, (great applause and cheering, lasting
several minutes) or Elihu Washburn, of Illi—
nois,(more cheering) a statesman whose nom-
ination would need no defense.
Wild excitement followed. When calm
was partially restored, the resolution in the.
meantime having been sent to the chair, Mr.
Sherman, of Brookfield, in a strong, sonorous
voice,moved to amend to make the resolution
read: “Or any other man who shall be se-
lected by the National convention at Chica—
go,” and that the resolution be referred to the
Committee on Resolutions with other kindred
matters. (Uproarious applause.)
Then Mr. G'owdy, of East Windsor, want-
ed to amend further by placing in the resolu-
tion the name of U. S. Grant. (Applause)
Mr. Samuel L. Warner,of Middletown.pro-
tested. Are we to ask this resolution for
a voucher for the character of Gen. Grant '1‘
(Applause) I hurl it back. There is no
man whose character is a better guarantee.
(Applause) Is it so, sir, that Gen. Grant
who occupies the most prominent position in
this country, and of any of our countrymen
before this civilized world, needs a voucher
for a character? There is neither any sane—
tion for this in any convention in this State
since the organization of the Republican
party. Time out of mind we have refused to
give instructions to our delegates. ‘ The
speaker cited an illustration of the course at.
the convention when Abraham Lincoln was
nominated. (Applause)
Up rose ‘Brandegee, and soon his clarion
voice rang over the convention as of yore in
many a hard fought party battle. He spoke
as follows:
I hope that course will be taken, sir; It is
a long time since I have stood before a con—
vention. It seems to me that I never stood
before a convention composed of so many of
the good, intelligent, respectable freemen of
Connecticut. (Applause) I speak from the
body of the convention and I hope from the
hearts of the convention, representing the‘
Republican party of Connecticut, which does
not want to be handicapped in the Chicago
convention. (Applause) The Republicans of
this State do not want delegates to go there
with fettcrs on their tongues; but to go free
to that grand council of the national party,
free to plead and pray if necessary with that
convention to put up a man whose character
is a platform everywhere that the sun shines.
When the convention at Chicago pronounc-
es its authoritative edict, then every Repub-
lican worthy of the name will bow to it.
(Applause) Mr. President, the party in this
State has not made up its mind on any
ticular candidate as yet. We work slowly/
here. We’ve only begun to talk up candidates
within a few weeks. Now, friends, let us
to -day sink these little petty and personal
subordinate issues. I declare to you I am as
undecided as any man can be as to who shall
bear the banner to victorypfor it will be a
victory if we do not make it otherw1se our:
selves. Now, then. put away this resolution,
and send delegates to Chicago whose charac -
ter will be a guarantee that they will select
the best man for us all to battle for.” (Cheers
and applause.)
Mr. Brandcgee spoke with great rapidity
and earnestness and his remarks seemed to
make a marked expression.
Mr. Warner rose immediately. He said he
wassmisfied with the way in which the re-
solution was received. He did not mean the
resolution as an instruction. He would with-
draw his resolution. '
It was dtcided not to delay the presenta-
tion of names of delegates until the return of
the Committee on Resolutions, as some of
the delegates wished to leave town on the
1:21 train. Accordingly the following names ,
were presented, each of the delegates at large
being received with applause :
DELEGATES AT LARGE.
1. Dist. ,-—-Henry C. Robinson, Hartford.
0 “ ——John M. Douglass, Middletown.
~Augustus Brandegee,New London.
-Samuel C. Fessenden, Stamford.
COUNTY DELEGATES.
New Haven—Hobart B. Bigelow,NewHaven.
Hartford—Andrew S. Upson, Farmington.
Middlesex—Willian C. Hough, Essex,
Fairfield—Edgar S. Tweedy, Danbury.
Litchfield—N. Taylor Baldwin, Plymouth.
Tolland—William M. Corbin, Union.
Windham—Jeremiah Olney, Thompson.
New London-Daniel Chadwick, Lyme.
Vigorous cries of, “Fessenden,” “Fessen-
den," arose. There was no response. Mr.

moved he be sent for. Mr. Fessenden wasat
last obtained, andiinV answer to appeals took
the platform, and addressed the convention“
said : Gentlemen of the Convention—My
distinguished friend from Brookfield has
I {asked me,now that the Fourth Congressional
district has by unanimous vote designated
me to be a representative to' the Chicago'con-
vention. how I should act in that con~
vention. I answer (with emphasis), I am
for the nominee of the nominee of the Chi—
cago convention. (Great enthusiasm and
hurrahs,) And whether he is to be, sir, that
distinguished leader who clutched revolution
by the throat at Appomattox Court House
(applause), or whether it is one as gifted and
pure as the sun ever shone upon in the
granite hills of Vermont, (applause) or
whether he is to be the leader of leaders who
in every State Of this continent and in the
halls of Congress, in every position and at all
times and under all circumstances, has been
the champion of the Republican pa'rty, be it
my choice. (Great applause and cheers). It
has been said that the man who carried us
through the war could not be nominated for
a third term because it would offend some
Republicans. There never was a time when
it was such vital importance to carry the Re—
publican canditate into the White House.
wlioever he may be, as now (applause). We
are menaced by a solid South, by rebel shot—
guns menacing the peoplc. Is there a man
here who thinks that a Republican will get a
single vote of that solid South? It is the duty
of . the Republican party to support any can-
didate and be ready to move on and place that
old flag where it will forever be free. (Ap-
plause).
Charles Dudley Warner, from the Com-
mittee on Resolutions, said he had been in—
structed to make the report and it was in one
resolution, as follows:
Resolved, that this convention pledge itself
and the constituency which it represents, to
the hearty, vigorous and loyal support of the
Republican National Convention“. Chicago.
The short, sharp, decisive resolution was
greeted with emphatic cries of “Good.” It
was passed by a thundering vote of acclama.
tion. Brandagee rose and shouted to the con-
vention to rise. All rose and there was quite
an exciting, enthusiastic time. At the some
time Mr. Brandageecried excitedly, “Three
cheers for the choice of the Chicago conven—
tion. We have them on the run ; keep them
at it.” The convention cheered and cheered
again. .

CORRESPONDENCE.
ROWAYTON, CONN, March 29, 1880.
It is a fundamental article of our creed
that heaven in a pe iar manner superin
tends the manufacture f our young Ameri—
can damsels. And the workmanship, as a.
general thing throughout Connecticut is hard
to improve upon. 'We remember some years
ago (at which time we made referfl'ce to the
matter in the New Haven Palladium) of a
hapless maiden in one of our large cities was
not of our opinion. She had no relish for
the ruddy complexion which old Mother
Nature had bestowed upon her, and deter—
mined ’to “beautify” by the use of arsenic.
She bought two ounces of the embellishing
poison, and being unskilled in chemical lore
began witha teaspooaful at a dose. It is
perhaps unnecessary to add that the popula-
tion of New Jerusalem was speedily aug-
mented by the arrival of one more faithful
angel of the feminine persuasion, and that
the grief-stricken maternal ancestor of the
ill—fated aspirant after pearly cheeks and
alabaster neck, found it difficult to decide
between a rich mourning craps and an ele-
gant black cashmere. Now, we had in
view when commencing this article another
absurdity, which is not quite so speedy a
‘means of producing death, but that it is
equally abominable in a physical sense ‘can
be readily proved. We refer to the almost
universal custom of the wearing of corsets,
anda goodly share of the ills that female
flesh is heir to can be traced to that very
custom. The wearing of them is justified
by the wearers on the grounds that it tends
to give a more symmetrical and pleasing
form, while on the other hand the evils pro-
duced are of an alarming nature, as can be
shown. ‘ They contract the lungs, liver, and
functions of these organs, prevent a proper
circulation of the blood, and from these
causes result oftentimes diseases so peculiar
to females, also headaches and quite often
chronic constipation. Physicians say that
corset wearing has been known to speedily
produce cancer, from undue compression and
defective circulation,and when it isborne in
mind that forty per cent. more females than
males are afflicted with cancer, the statement
is thus proved to be but too true. Now, the
moral to the affecting little incident first de-
scribed, and our advice to the dear girls, is
to be natural, be sensible, be intelligent,
amiable and good, and don‘t use dangerous
and ruinous cosmetics, as no doubt some of
you’in Norwalk do, and you “'1“ always be
beautiful enough. Read, think and cultivate
the insides rather than the outsides of your
heads. Strive to acquire the charms of mind
and soul rather than of body and costume.
Labor to make yourselves truly educated and
accomplished, strong, pure and refined-wo—
men, and you will be lovely_ enough for all
practical and poetical purposes. Don't try
to be angels with artificial forms and wings,
nor birds of paradise with borrowed plumes,
Don’t paint the lily or
varnish the rose, neither try to improve upon
the form God designed you to have. Be
yourselves “worthily’ ahd you will befworthy
of any one else—worthy to grace any place
or station beneath the broad canopy of
heaven. C. R.
While a good deal is justly said about the
oppressions of capital, and the growing pow-
er of monopolies, we are not allowed to for-
get that organized labor is not always free
from similar criticism. The piano makers of
New York do not stop'simply at a demand
for more wages; they also kindly undertake
to decide how many apprentices may be em-
ployed'to learn the trade, and, generally,hOvv
the proprietors may conduct their own busi-
ness.‘ But they make no more absurb and
outrageous demand than that all the workmen
belonging to their Union shall receive the
same rate of wages. both by the day and by
the piece. They force an equality which
nature itself is perpetually opposed to. There
is,to say the least,as much difference between
men as between horses. One man' is not
only skillful and competent, but he has
a conscience which impels him to‘ do a fair
day’s work, whether under the eye of his
employer or not. Another man is con-
stitutionally lazy and morally dishonest. He
acts as if he thought a half an hour passed
without doing a stroke of work is a positive
gain to him, and he chuckles 'over the idea
that he has secured a benefit at the expense
of'another. His nature makes it impossible
for him to do an honest hour’s work in the
absence of an overseer.‘ His one object is to
put in time, no matter how, so he is on hand
on pay day, and gets his money. He laughs
at the idea of taking any interest in the con—
cern he is workibg for, except asaffecting
the permanence of his place, and the regular
payment of his wages. As to his work it is
no matter how it's done if it will only pass.
If he is a cabinet-maker, or machinist, or
painter, and spoils fifty dollars’ worth of ma-
terial it is no matter'if he can only cover his
blunder where the “boss” won’t see it. If
he is a compositor and “pies” a lot of type,
he will, if he can do it without detection, put
the debris in his pocket and chuck it in the
first pond or cess pool he comes to. If he is
an engineer or ship-wright, he will risk the
safety of the vessel and the lives of all on
board, to save himself from a difficulty or
diSagreeable piece of work,when his neglect
can be covered 11‘ and nobody but himself
know anything about it. In short, be hand
more conscience than a crocodile, and no:
more sense of duty than a pirate. A labor of
a man of this stamp can never be worth as
much as that of an honest working-man, and
any system which prevents an employer from
discriminating between individual men ac—
cording to their integrity of character and
skill as craftsmen, is a palpable. outrage.

The idea was long prevalent that the-living
bodies of human beings and animals might,
under certain circumstances, take fire spon—
taneously and be completely consumed.
Alleged cases of this kind were even placed
on record. The utter impossibility of any
such result was demonstrated by Liebig, who
showed that no amount of fat, alcohol or
phosphorus which a living body could possi-
bly contain would render it combustible.
A remarkable discovery was lately made in
theregion of the Pyranees. InI a cave of the
paleolithic or “old stone” period there were
found teeth of the cave-bear adorned with
drawings, some of which represent human
beings covered with long hair. These rude
pictures must date mauy'thousand years
before the dawn of historic times-
It has been claimed by several writers that
more than one of the so—called "annual
rings" oftrees may \be formed in -a single
seasOn, but the question has never been con-
clusively settled. The observations of Mr.
L. Kny in England last year, seem to show
that two rings may be formed in the small
branches of trees during a season, but that
extend to the trunks. Consequently, it may
be considered that the number of; concentric.
rings of wood in the trunks of trees repre—
sents very nearly their actual age in years.»
A peculiar substance has been found by

Some'two years since, according to foreign
medical report; a girl of seventeen received
a severe fright, which within a few days
thereafter resulted in a total loss of her hair.
None has grown since, and she remains com—

A process has been patented in 'Germany

variety of purposes, such as rugs, carpets,

In Prussia one person in every four hun-

The Generation of the Wicked.
The Scientific American of February 21,
1875, considering the “Generation of the
Wicked” and the “Knife Remedy,” states
that “certain phases of criminality are not
only consistent .with, but are usually accom-
panied by abundant animal .vigor,'capable ct
indefinite propagation, and the probabilities
are that the criminals of future years will be
chiefly descended from the sturdy sinners for
whose restraint the police systems of today
are required. The criminal class, like the
ary caste, representing the uncivilized and
uncivilizable elements of the community.
How to deal with this class, how to turn its
perverted forces into useful channels and
make its perpetuation difficult, if not impos—
sible, is the great social problem of the day.
Every boy and girl now growing up in beg-
gary and lawlessness is the possible ancestor
of a long line of parahs, and neither pru-
deuce nor philanthropy can tolerate the neg-
lect of them. Siciety has as little right to
allow the future to be afllicted with the per-
nicious fruit of such pernicious stems. asit
has to stock the fields with poisonous plants
or knowingly establish the conditions for the
development of future pestilence. The ra—
tional tendency of ahigh civilization is to-
ward a diminished birth—rate. The waste of
life that goes on in ruder societies, through
wars, public and private, improvidence and
unhealthful conditions of being, is immensely
lessened in civilized conditions, and with it
the need of many births. A vastly larger
proportion of the children born are able to
attain maturity, and the average duration is
much increased. A- low birth—rate is, there—
fore, perfectly consistent with high national
power and progress and the development of
all that makes life desirable, and, as we have
said, the tendency of civilization is always
to obtain such an economical birth rate. But
the less civilized grades of society, improvi-
dentin all things, are equally so in human
'life. Careless of the responsibility of parent-
age, they breed like vermin, the criminal
grades being especially prolific more than
make up for the destructive influences of
crime. The lusty vagabond lendsa jolly life,
merous progeny to pay the penalty of hisi
constitutions, depraved tastes and wasting
diseases and other conditions of early defeat
in life's engagements, and the morally and
physically healthy are taxed for the support
of almsbo’uses, prisons, asylums, hOspitals
and other places of refuge for them. For
the victims as well as for humanity at large
it were better had these never been born, and
we can only regard it as an illustration of the
power of popular prejudice, that people who
find nothing to condemn in the extermination
of individuals whose murderous nature seems
incompatible with public safety are ready to
hold up their hands in. horror at. the 'most
guarded suggestion of the advisability Of

Celebrated Safes,
In purchasing a Safe, we wish to call your
attention to some of the important advantages
our Safes possess over all others, and. which
make them the cheapest and best Safes now
made.
lst. Our “PATENT INSIDE BOLT WORK"
consists in placing the bolts and locks on the
inside Of the door (as shown in the cut above)
where they are at all times accessible, and
can be cleaned and kept in order, and thus
prevent them from unexpectedly locking you
out. In all other Safes the bolts are placed
next the outside plate of iron, being covered
completely by the filling, consequently im-
possible .to oil or clean them without digging
out the filling, which is expensive, besides
losing the use of the Safe several days. As
the filling in our Safes is between the locks
and bolts and the outside plate of the door,
in most cases we can unlock our safes on the
combination after they have passed through a
severe fire, which saves breaking them open.
2d. Our “PATENT HINGED CAP” consists
of the back plate of the door being hung on
hinges, and fastened by a. thumb-screw,which
enables one to have access to the locks and
bolts by simply removing the thumb-screw.
3d. While other safe-makers use three
wheel locks on their fire-proof safes (reserv-
ing the best four-wheel locks for bank safes),
we put on our FOUR-WHEEL Locxs on all
safes, from the smallest to the largest, and for
simplicity and durability cannot be excelled.
4th.. All our Safes are IRON-LINED INSIDE,
instead of wood-lined as in other safes,‘ which
enables us to use the the greatest amount of
water in our filling without danger of ,the
Safe’s being damp. All corners of the Safes
are secured with angle iron, which, together
with the very hard nature of our filling, pro.
vents them from injury from falling, or fall—
ing walls or timbers. Our Safes have THREE
FLANGEB instead of single or double as in
others, and are made with and without inside
doors. In the great Boston fire our Safes had
the champion record, as was fully proved at
the time, to these important improvements
do we owe our success and the great popular-
ity our safes have attained throughout the
country. After that great fire we published
a complete list of our Safes exposed,those that
failed to preserve their contents, besides those
that were successful, and for months chal-
lenged our competitors to follow our example
which they would not do, as they knew that
by so doing they would only assist usin dem-
onstrating to the world the superiority of our
Safes, and our claim to the champion record.
Although that Great Fire so conclusively ‘
proved the superiority of our Safes to resist
intense heat, we believed that we could im-
prove them,‘ and we have, therefore, since
that time, increased the thickness Of the walls,
added to the number of flanges, and strength-
ened them in various ways, until we. now
manufacture a Safe better than ever before,
and unequalled forits excellence. It has been
our constant aim to make the BEST SAFE that
can be produced, believing that, especially in
purchasing a safe to keep that which may
have cost a lifetime to accumulate, the best is
decidedly the cheapest. In these dull times
it is the custom of many safe—makers to man-
ufacture several grades of cheap safes, and
recommend that which can be sold the cheap-
est, without regard to quality, and many
safes are now in use that are painted finely
outside, but are worthless to preserve their
contents from fire. We make but one class
of Safes, which is the best we know how to
produce. Send for descriptive catalogue.

“Accepted and will Appear.”
One evening while reclining
In my easy chair, repining
Over the lack of true religion, and the dearth
of common sense,
A solemn-visaged lady,
Whe was surely on the shady
Side of thirty, entered proudly and to crush
me did commence:
“I sent a poem here, sir,"
Said the lady, growing fiercer,
“And the subject which I’d chosen, you 1' e-
member, sir, was Spring.
But although I’ve scanned your P8P"
SIr, by sunlight, gas and taper,
I've discovled of that poem not a solitary
thing.” '
She was muscular and wiry,
And her temper sure was fiery,
And I knew to pacify her I would have to~
flb like fun.
So I told her that her verses
Which were great, had come to-bless us,
We’d received just sixty one-on “Spring."
of which w’ed printed one.
And I added, we’ve decided
That they’d better be divided
Among the years that follow one to each suc-
ceeding spring.
. So your work, I’m pleased to mention,
Wilt receive our best attention
In the year of nineteen-forty when the birds
begin to sing. ‘

Thc Balance of Trade.
The remarkable flood of imports coming
into the country since the advance in prices
was established is awakening very natural
apprehensions of a return to the adverse
balance of trade of former years. The tone
of expression in regards to it is as of some
impending calamity, and the renewal of large
gold exports would possibly disturb the
,monetary condition and possibly revive a
demand for gold not easy to supply. Yet
the circumstances so far disclosed are not at
all threatening, and much worse appearances
have been passed,without trouble,heretofore.
The first and most important question is
whether the exports have materially declined
and on examination it appears that they have
not; in fact they are larger than they were
last year, although not quits so large as in
1878. The exports from the port of New
York to foreign countries, for the week end-
ing Monday, March 22, were $8,146,413,
against $6,098,015 for the same week last
year. .And from January let to the 22d
inst., they amounted to $76,607,129, against
$72,092,497 during the same period of 1879,
and about $80,000,000 the year before.
The very large export movement begun in
1878 is really fully sustained, and the wide
distribution of manufactured articles, as Well
as the volume Of staples of food to Europe,
practically show no serious abatement—in
fact no abatement at all. The advance in
prices does not cut off the export of menu.
factured articles, much to the surprise even
of shippers themselves; and in grain and
provisions the same pressure of necessity
exists for the supply we furnish, under these
higher prices, as before. The situation in
this respect is not changed, in fact; and the
relief we have in exporting our surplus, as
well as the positive profit derived from this
source, where little or none was derived in
former years, would have a controlling in-
fluence in preventing a moderate export of
.gold from becoming a grave misfortune.
The export trade is likely to prove its value
as a conservator of business even more de-
cisively now than while the imports were
down to the small proportions of a year ago,
and gold was coming in by the millions
weekly.
On the other side, the imports are undoubt-
edly excessive, and for three or four months
have been one-half greater than either in
1878 or 1879. This flood has been due to
special causes and to temporary influences,
rather than to any permanent revival of the
former trade in standard lines of goods.
Very heavy purchases _of iron in its crudest
formsepig, bar and plate—rather than in
the form of completedmanufactures, were
made to meet the necessities of large con—
tractors, and to avoid a corner in the very
small stocks of raw irons available for such
consumption when the sudden advance in‘
prices came. Nobody anticipates a return
to the regular supply of iron and steel from
England which prevailed until a recent
perid, say three or four years since, only.
Undoubtedly large special importations of
iron will be made hereafter, and a consider-
able amount of exchange will be required to
pay for these and like importations, but
neither will the value be so large as in 1870
to 1873, nor will the supply of exchange
drawn against our owu outward shipments of
merchandise be so small as then.
The actual balances of foreign trade against
the United States were continuous for a
long period of years—from 1848 to 1875,
inclusive—the apparent exceptions in 1858
and 1802 being due to the sto'ppage of im—
ports, rather than to any increase in the ex—
ports. The panic in 1857, and the war in
1861, suddenly stopped the usual large im-
portations, and the consequences in' each
case were a balance in our favor. But the
general course of trade was not permanently
reversed, as it now is, and for ten years—
1864 to 1872 inclusive—the average adverse
balance of merchandise alone was $150,-
000,000 each year. In 1874 a small bal—
ance in our favor was offset by an equal
adverse balance in 1875. The next four years
gave :
1376. 879 6-13 4151 1878 $259 811 2
1377, 15135sz4 1879: 26116011663;
These are very remarkable figures, in view
of the long-continued opposite condition,and
they could never have been attained if there
had not been a radicalichange in.the sources
of commerce themselves. The United States
have become. self-supplying in regard to the
staples of manufactured goods, and they
supply other countries liberally with super-
ior products. It is not pleasant to see so
many foreign goods sent here to try the
newly awakened markets; but they take
their chances§as extraordinary supplies. The
mei'e payment for these, if not attended with
a diminution of exports, will not renew any
large shipments of gold, and an occasional
diversion in the movement of specie will
not entail serious consequences. We have
produced gold in excess, as it was thought
and have exported it as a surplus product.
The natural production of the precious met-
als is large, and they: must accumulate if not
exported. Their accumulation is desirable,
but a moderate export might be made of sil—
ver as harmlessly as of copper or of iron.—

A young. girl, now apparently living in
Lerpzrg, Is In a deal of trouble owing to the
fact that she cannot prove she exists. She is
to be married; that is a young man is ready
and so is she, but the law forbids. Although
sh says she is herself and her mother takes
oath to the fact the German government re-
fuses to allow the marriage until the girl can
by written ev1dence prove that she has been
born. People who get into the world by '
other means than being born, are thus in
Germany tndered very rare, as they are for-
hidden to marry and increase. In the case
of this family the distress did not end with
the unmarried girl. There was a son who
was forced into the army because he too had
no documentary evidence of his birth. At
last the mother, both the children having
been really born, and born in New York.
wrote to New York authorities for informa-
tion Did they have been forwarded copies of
the birth records of both the children. The
letters are now on the way and the law and
all hands are.to be satisfied.
