Incidentally the priest has registered e ‘ 09, ,\e’ ‘/ an emphatic protest against secret marriages generally, these two toples A forming the burden of separate sermons to-day, which have excited lively in- terest even in San Rafael, and will doubtless create a flurry in San Francisco and Oakland. For several years this city has been the Mecca of persons desirious of having the nuptial knot tled with as much secrecy as possible, and the fact that the newspapers have never failed to print all about such unions when the contracting parties were of any prominence in the social or business world does not seem to have interfered in the slightest with the county exchequer as tallled by County Clerk Graham.
