A Great Opportunity tor the Unmarried FO.
males In Massachusetts,.
BosToS, August 2,-The 10000 or more
Boston spinsters, young, middle aged
and aged grass" widows, fair divorces
and lone females generally, felt their
hearts tiutter to-day with an indescriba-
BILE sensation.
From the far northwest, from the push.
ing, hustling Washington Territory,
came good news. It was an offer Of mar
riage Tor each Individual Massachusetts
female who has been pining for the COM
ing Of some nice young man who would
claim her.
The offer came through Mayor Hart,
in the shape OF u letter sent by Mayor
Wheelwright, OF Tacoma, 10 which II Is
stated that the Territory Of Washington,
aud Tacoma In particular, Is filled with
sober, industrious and enterprising
young men who desire in the worst way
to enter the matrimonial State, there be.
ing at present ten young men there to
one young woman. This statement is
followed with a resolution; "That the
Mayor and Common Council Of the City
Of Tacoma appeal to the people Of Massa.
chusetts To send all women Of marriage
able age to this Territory and city that
can be conveniently spared, for the pur-
pose Of making happy thousands Of
young men in the holy bonds Of matrl-
mony." Also another resolution:
''That this resolution be forwarded 10
His Honor, the Mayor Of Boston, with
the request that he publish II broadcast
throughout the land, and the hope that
the newspapers print 1t once q week for
at least three weeks"
Mayor Hart will make no reply tothe
above proclamation. Colonel Ernst,
tue Mayors secretary, doubts the au.
thenticity OF the proclamation, and
thinks 1t a practical joke. Joke or no
joke, the Boston section Of the nnmar-
ried female population Of Massachusetts,
is exceedingly exercised. The State has
a surplus OF females amounting TO 1000
OF which number at least City per cent
are unmarried and with no prospect oi
a chance to got married. lfMayor Hart
does not answer the appeal II Is certain
that many OF the marriageable females
here will answer 1t.
