Belfast, Sept. 30.--Continuance of rioting and bloodshed in this city is viewed officially as creating an in- tolerable situation, and Ulster's pro- posal for armed civic guards is likely to be adopted by the government if {the disorders continue. Thregts by the Sinn Fein that the organization of such guard would be taken as "a | declaration of war' with a resultant uprising of Irish nationalists are not taken seriously, it being asserted | that the 'existing situation cannot podsibly be worse." It is claimed that the government cannot afford to maintain sufficient military forces in this eity to cope with the disturb- ed conditions, and must rely on the co-operation of loyal subjects to maintain order. Many Were Willing. A certain rector, just before the service, was called to the vestibule to meet a couple who wanted to be mar- ried. He explained that there wasn't time for the ceremony then. "But," said he, "if you will be seated I will give an"epportulity at the end of the service for you to come forward, and I will then |} rform the ceremony." The couple agreed, and at the proper moment the clergyman said, "Will those who wish to be united in the holy bonds of matrimony please come | forward?" Whereupon thirteen wo- | men and one man proceeded to the altar, Superinduced Dis-ease. "Was it a high fever your husband had?" "Well, we didn't think so until the doctor sent in his bill."
