COST OF MARRIAGES
Some People Try to See, How
Much Can Be Spent
Amusing 8tory of Clergyman In Lon
don Who Was Out for All the Cash
He Could Get 8ome of Acces
sories He Would Furnish.
London. Some of the fashionable
weddings that have taken place lately
would seem to Indicate that the people
concerned were anxious to see bow
much money could be spent on the af
fair. In England the ceremony is much
more complicated. The most usual
form of marriage is by "banns." Notice
is given to the clergyman of the
church where the young couple desire
to get married, the announcement la
given out three Sundays running be
fore the wedding day, and for this the
bridegroom pays the clerk 60 cents. If
neither of the parties live In this par
ish, one or other of them must do so
for three weeks before the ceremony
takes place, but this condition is often
filled by the bridegroom taking a room
and putting a stick or bag in it for the
required time.
Of course, you have to pay the cler
gyman something for performing the
ceremony for you, and the legal fee Is
$1.25, with 50 cents to the clerk, and a
further 60 cents for a copy of the cer
tificate of marriage, but each clergy
man asks what he chooses, and some
of them place their services rather
. high.
Recently a young couple who live in
the suburbs decided to get married at
one of the churches in the Strand, in
London, as this was a convenient cen
ter for all their friends, and also near
Charing Cross station, from which they
were starting for Paris immediately
after the ceremony. It was to be a
quiet affair, no bridesmaids, no bou
quets, no carriages, no red carpet, etc.
So one fine morning the brldes's father
started off to find the Incumbent of
one of these London churches, an in
dividual with a double-barreled name
r and, incidentally, a double-barreled lo
quacity as well. After a great effort
the father got him to talk about the
wedding, and finally inquired the fee.
"The fee would be 25," said his
reverence. "And, of course, you would
like some music? We supply that and
it woeld be $5." The father was about
to say something, when the padre
broke in again:
"And you would like some red carpet
put down, I suppose? We supply that
for $5."
"Oh," began the man out of whose
pocket the money was to come for all
this, when"
"And if it's a wet day, you would re
Quire an awning," continued the clergy
man. "We supply the awning and the
fee would be $5."
"Yes." gasped the father, casting
about in his mind for a way of escape,
when the other went on: -
"And, of course, yon would have
some flowers. My daughter always
does the flowers, and Tm sere the
would be delighted to do them for
you." Before the astonlsheo. ratner
could reply, the clergyman rang the
. bell and requested the servant who
answered It to ask "Miss Louie" to
step In." "Miss Louie" duly arrived,
and expressed herself enchanted at the
prospect of doing the flowers tor the
wedding.
"And what do yon think it would
. cost, dear?" asked Mr father. "Do you
suppose you could do It for $25 H
As this last straw was laid on the
poor victim's back, he joused himself
and managed to stammer that he mast
' consult his daughter before making the
final arrangements, and made for the
ioor. trusting to escape. But the cler
gyman had reserved a parting shot.

ter will like to read all about It, as she
is thinking of being married there."
"Thank you; I'll give it to her," said
the Innocent man.
"That'll be 25 cents," said his rev
erence, and the unfortunate father
placed the money on the table and fled
for hla life. Needless to say the mar
riage did not take place at his church.
FISHHOOKS BAD FOR FOWLS
Pennsylvania Chicken Fancier
lieves Old 8aylng Is In Need
of Revision.
Be-
Lewlston, Pa. John B. Clemmens, a
Pennsylvania railroad signalman at
Newton Hamilton, Is of the opinion
that the old saying, "Never count your
chickens until they are hatched," could
be well amended to read "Never count
your chickens." Clemmens is a chick
en fancier and had a flock of half
grown games of which he was espe
cially proud.
The other day his two sons returned
from a fishing trip and threw a num
ber of large eel hooks, baited with
pieces of veal, on the bank at the boat
landing.
An hour later there was a great com
motion among the flock of games and
an investigation showed that each had
swallowed a chunk of veal and an eel
book with it Clemmens killed six of
the chickens in removing the hooks.

GROUCH GERM
New Form of Bacillus Particularly Ac
tive In Hot Weather Found In
Kansas City.
Kansas City, Mo. A new germ, as
yet unnamed, has just been discovered
in Kansas City. It is a hot weather
oacillua and affects young and old
alike, being particularly noxious in
adults, it is said, and producing a
chronic case of what ordinarily Is
called the "grouch."
The discoverers of this germ are
Dr. E. L. Mathls, chief probation offi
cer, and his assistants, who constant
ly are making a study of human na
ture and, by the way, this particular
bug is one which attacks human na
ture only.
"It is a hot weather bug." said Doc
tor Mathlas, "and can produce the
worst case of grouch in a short time
that yon ever saw.
"Just now we Juvenile officers have
little to do so far as the Juvenile
court Is concerned, but we are kept
busy as bees looking after what we
call hot weather business.
"Somehow or other, this hot weath
er seems to 'peeve everybody. It
takes the form of grouch in adults and
the form 'of what the grown-ups are
pleased to call 'devilment' in children.
"A man lies down to take a nap of
a hot afternoon. He is Just tuckered
out by the heat, he says, and a. nap

gets comfortably settled, boys or girls
to the neighborhood begin to romp,
and, of course, they call back and
forth, and the would-be napper Is an
noyed. "Then the Irate adult goes outdoors.

en. Ever since Clifford B. Harmon took
up in his Farman biplane Mrs. Han
mon, Mrs. William K. Vanderbilt and
other women have declared their de

It is announced that three pretty
French women aviators are to follow
to this country shortly after the ar
rival of these small airships. They
will be costumed as the women avia
tor should be and will be prepared to
demonstrate and Instruct .American
women in the art of flying.
Yves De Villers, the representative
for the Vendome aeroplane, was at
MIneola. L. I., the other day, and said
that the little monoplanes are being
brought to this country as quickly
as possible. At least one of the three
machines wil be shipped to the avia
tion grounds in MIneola, where it will
make dally flights. It is the smallest
one-person fly-about In the world,
and weighs 60 pounds less than
the famous Santos-Dumont Demoi
selle.
The Vendome monoplane is the
work of Raoul Vendome, a French
builder of aeroplanes. It is equipped
with a 12-horaepower Anzanl motor,
and complete, ready for flying, weighs
180 pounds.

TUBERCULOSIS IN THE PRISON
Per Cent of Suffering Is Enormous
and There 8eema but One
Remedy.
From several Investigations that
have been made by the National , As
sociation for the Study and Preven
tion of Tuberculosis it is estimated
that on an average about 15 per
cent of the prison population of the
country la afflicted with tuberculosis.
On this basis, out of the 80,000 prison
ers housed in the penal institutions
of the United States at any given
time, no less than 12,000 are infected
with the disease. If the Philippine
islands and other Insular possessions
were taken into consideration the
number would be much larger. Some
of the prisons of Pennsylvania, Kan
sas and Ohio show such shocking con
ditions with reference to tuberculosis
that many wardens admit that these,
places of detention are death traps.
Similar conditions could be found in
almost every state, and in the major
ity of cases the only sure remedy is
the destruction of the old buildings
and the erection of new ones.
