In deciding the case of Amelia C.
Travers vs. the Sisters of the Visi?

the District of Columbia, the Supreme
Court of the United Stales today
dealt with the regular marriage of
.lames Travels to Sophia Grayson,
which occurred in Alexandria. Va., in
1805, holding that notwithstanding
the defects the two were husband
nnd wife. The opinion was by Jus?
tice Harlan,, who hehl that in view of
the fact that the couple had lived to?
gether as man and wife for eighteen
years they were such in law. In
reaching this conclusion he consid?
ered the effect of the laws of Virginia,
where the two were supposed to have
been married j those of Maryland,
where they lived the greater part of
the eighteen years and of New Jer?
sey, where the Travers' will was
made in Ills wife's favor.
lit Virginia there is a requirement
that there shall be a marriage license
and in Maryland that there shall he
a religious ceremony, but both ot
these exemptions were disregarded
and t!fe Xew Jersey practice recog?

stoicism and fanaticism but the recent
Catastrophe seems to have- completely
unnerved them, as they have up to
