TO HOLD THE CUP Crack Militia Teams at Memphis Contesting Today. Capt. Domer Putting His Men Through Their Paces. GOOD WORDS FOR MORTONS Special from a Staff Correspondent.

The competitive drilling by volunteer militia companies will this ternoon reach an end. The program offers the best attrac- tions that Fave yet heen presented, and the attendance at Montgome will un- doubtedly far exceed that of any day the opening cf the encampment.

This morning after breakfast the Fenci- to camp, put up a beautiful drill and then set to work placing uniforms and equipments in shape for the inspection. The champions will appear before the judges clean shaven, the last mustache having been sacrificed this morning. Since the elimination the boys present a decided- ly youthful appearance and their friends at home would hardly recognize them at first glance. The Mortons Turn Out. The Morton Cadets retired early evening, but were up and on the way t Memphis at 7 o'clock this morning, headed by the Iowa State Band, to meet the in- coming confederate veterans from Arling- ton, Tenn, The turnout amounted to a good-sized street parade, and the Mortons were continually cheered to the echo along the line of march. The company devoted the remainder of the morning to preparation for their third pection. The team will march on the 2 o'clock end drill in class A ld a mpionship.

Domer has nothing to say in regard to the matter, and in'the fiossibility of the Sealys winning the big drill the Fencibles will make no claim to she cup. Further action on the part of Adjutant General Mabry is awaited with Interest. C.F.C. United States Regulars Drill. MEMPHIS, Tenn., May 17.—This morn- ing there were exhibition drills by all the United States troops in camp, under com- mand of their lieutenants, and practice drills by the compagles that take part in the competition this afternoon. This was followed by inspection of the different company quarters to decide the discipline prize. The event of the forenoon was the ar- rival of company B, Uniformed Rank United Confederate Veterans, from Arling- ton. RHODES STAYED MR. AWAY. at Account His Wedding 1 Not Take Place. Elaborate preparations were made in ad- vance for a wedding, which was to have at the residence of Mr. James A. Parker, 2013 11th street, last evening. The bride was a niece of the host. The wed- ding guests were bidden and were on hand in plenty of time. The priest was there and there was musie and refreshments ready for the entertainment of the party. Only one thing was lacking to make the occxsion a success in evtry way. That was the presence of a young man to fill the role of bridegroom. The youth who had been chosen by the fair bride-elec tand up with her and receive the pri blessing was Mr. Lu- ther B. Rhodes, who is said to live in Mt. Pleasant, where he plies the trade of a carpenter, and is supposed to be rather well off in this world’s goods. He called upon the maid of his choice yesterday morring, when the arrangements for the ceremony were talked over, after which he bade her a fond adieu, telling her that he would probably not see her again until evening, when he was coming back to be made the happiest man in all Washington. But he didn’t come back. At first nothing particular was thought of his failure to app: as It was sup- posed he had been detained over his per- sonai preparations for the auspicious event. White tics are such a nuisance when a man is in a hurry, and collar buttons have a most provoking way of getting lost on any provocation. The guests were the all right and they ed the time merril: for awhile. But the bride’s ner- ss soon developed into real anxiety. Il right for a young woman to be t her own wedding, but it is a slight w will brook when the man in the shows that he is in no hurry to have And occurred sight nor had anything ‘The guests had been enjoy themselves,and they forth- with proceeded to do so by whiling away the interim in the happy mazes of the dance. But the maid entered not into the spirit of the occasion. She retired to the sanctity of her chamber and there began the task of stéeling her heart against the man who could treat her so cavalierly. ‘Then she came down and helped to enter- tain the guests. The evening passed aw: and nothing was heard from the recreant lover. Nor had anything heen heard from him today, and the aork of stecling the t is still going on. i bride who was to have been is Miss Parker. Her parents live in this city, but for some time past she has made her home with her uncle. The young man w also responsible for this state of affairs. For a geod while he has been paying de- voted attentions to Miss Parker, but her mother objected strenuously to his atten- tions, so strenuously, in fact, that things began to get unpleasant at home, and the oung lady went to live with her uncle. She has been there for about a month, and during that time Rhodes has been con- stantly in her train. When Mr, Parker found that the young miss, who is just twenty rs of age, had a will of her own amd would not be shaken from her inten- tion to wed, he told her that he would do it up as it ought to be done, and have a wedding ceremony befitting the family po- sition. Hence, the guests, the music and the wedding supper. Father Foley of St. Paul's Catholic Church was invited to per- form the ceremony, but his services were not needed. Toward the end Miss Parker's mother became at least partially reconciled and she toox part in the preparations for, the wedding, but today she has nothing but unpleasant things to say of the man ho might have been her son-in-law. A Star reporter who called at Mr. Par lence today was told that nothing had been heard from Rhodes, and that the family hoped they never would hear of him again. Miss Parker, he said, was quite unnerved her awkward ex- perience, and had expressed the intention invited re: to see or speak to Rhodes again. “But,” said Mr. Parker, sententiously, ou never can tell W a woman will SATCRDAY'S STAR.

COUPLES LIVED TOGETHER ILLEGALLY No More Marriages Inside the Po- lice Court Precincts. THE CASES TODAY —_—_ ++ The Utah act covers almost every phase of immorality as practiced by the unmar- ried couples living together as man and wife, us well as husbands who have desert. ed their wives and wives who have deserted their husbands and taken shelter under the roof of others to lead immoral lives. In the crusade against these people thus far the police have arrested only persons of the poorer class, while they know of others whose examples are calculated to cause more trouble. Several officers went out last night to look after violators of this law, and in Freeman's alley Sergt. Me- Taggart and Officer Auldridge went on a regular raiding expedition and succeeded in capturing four of the score or more cf couples living in this way. It was about 1 o'clock when they reached the alley, and when ore couple had been arrested the noise had the effect of putting others on guard, and several of the men managed to get out the back windows and escape. The result of the work under this law was a full dock in Judge Miller's court this morning, and the cases were heard. No More Marrying. Judge Miller has put his foot down on the-marrying of these people, and the vic- tims will now understand that the court is not a matrimonial agency. Lawyer Holland was in court when one of the cases came up for trial, and he said he thought they had better get ma a, He thought the law was a good one and should be enforced. When the first case had been disposed of he sent off and paid $1 for a license. Then he had a minister on hand, and everything was in readiness for the marriage. “But I've made an order about this bus- iness,” was what Judge Miller said, the marriage ceremony was not perfor “There are to be no more marriages court building,” Marshal Me the order not violated. Judge Miller explained that the court will not be a party to any marriages, for some of them may commit the more serious of- igamy, and then if prosecuted up the defense that their mar- 1. in the the judge said, and D=puty ‘ormick says he will see that Judge Miller said he had no objection to their getting married in jail or after they comply with the sentence. Would Not Agree. Robert Perry, a young colored man, thought Judge Muller was rather personal when he wanted to know about his private affairs, and had it not been that Robert's skin was so black he would have blushed. He answered the question, however, al- though he laughed and hung his head, and then went back because he had no money and was not married. “Why didn’t you marry the girl?” was the question asked. “I axed her fer ter marry me,” said Robert, “and she said no, and told’ me I'd have ter wait.” Helen Ball was the female, and she said she was nineteen years old. “How old are you?” Robert was asked. “Twenty-one my next birthday.” They said they had been living together two years and had buried one child. Judge Miller fined them $ or fifteen days each, and they were sent back to the cell. These were the people for whom the license was obtained, but they could not get married in court. Proba je Wedding. Albert Burnett and Hattie Johnson next appeared and plead guilty. Hattie carried a two-months-old baby in her arms, the result of their illicit relations. Albert is ‘twenty-three years old and Hattie is three ears nis junior. “Have either of you ever been married “Ww haven't you been married all this time?” the judge asked. “I suppose,” the judge adJed, “that it’s cheaper to live to- gether without getting married, because no license has tc be bought and there will be no divorce expenses to follow.”” Policeman Auldridge told the court that the boy supports the girl, and the judge said he did rot want to punish the woman, as that would necessitate the child’s going to prison. ‘A fine of $2 was imposed on each of the endants, and the woman was afterward ‘cd on ber personal bonds. When questioned by the court the de- fendants would get married as soon as released. ‘The judge told them that they had better get married if they intended to live to- gether, but warned them that if either of them was ady married they had better separate for good. ou r Cases. Next in line came George Peel and Lizzie Lrown, and they said guilty. “How long have you been living to- gether?” 3 “Four months.”” “Why didn’t you get married “[ intended to get married,” answered the man, “when I was able to take care of ‘Are you taking care of her now?” Some kind of aw he were tined $5 each.
