Freaks Who Have Been Joined In We'd
1ock-Many Cases of Marriage by Proxy.
Welded by Phonosraph = symboIical
Marriages Of India.
The conventional idea of a wedding
does not agree with the tastes of Some
people, and occasionally very eccentric
and sometimes romantic marriage cere-
monies are solemnized. Men and wom-
en- entirely opposite in disposition and
character frequently unite in the holy
bonds Of matrimony-sometim much
to their mutual regret. This peculiar
fact, IL woald seem, also applies 10 Gddi-
ties of human nature. In many OF the
travelling shows the freaks who help u
draw money from the public in;ermsr-
~. and 1t is not an unusual thing 20
find the fat man welded to the skeleton
woman and the tattCCed man to the
bearded lady.
Mrs. Hannah Battersby, who enc
time toured the country as fat wom-
an, was married TO Pennsylvania
man, and it is stated as q curious fact
that no sooner were they married than
she began to lose flesh and he to gain
it. His weight Increased SO rapidly that
he soon took to exhibiting himself as q
fat man. An exception TO this rule Of
contrast, however. was Colonel Glover,
the giant who stCcd q feet Z inches. He
was welded to Martha Peabody, the
American gi;ntcss. Several years ago,
when they Appeared in public together.
they used To receive as much as $3.50 q
week.
The Italian consular agert at Cincin.
natl performed the NEST peculiar mar.
riage ceremony On record. The groom
| was a well to 90 resident of the Ohio
city, and his hide lived in Italy. The
contracting parties We're thousands q
miles apart when the wedding was per.
formed, the marriage being ly proxy.
The consul filed in "a blank certificate,
| which he forwarded to authorities IL
Italy, who Ill the presence Of the parish
priest exhibited it before the bride, wht
affixed her signature, accepting il as lei
action. The marriage was perfectly
binding.
A very similar ceremony was per.
formed some time ago The affair tool
place by proxy, and Miss Maple Wa,
married by . clergyman in New Yorl
to man who at the time of the mar
riage lay dying in q Texas town. Tht
bridegroom was represented in the cere
mony by the brides cousin. who mad,
the necessary responses and signatures

as his proxy. The two lovers had been
engaged for a long time, and Miss
Maple wished to bear the name Of her
betrothed even though she coald do SO
only as q widow.
The all important ring is sometimes
forgotten, and in more than one case
the door key Of the church has had to
do duty, but it is not often that portions
Of the marriage service are omitted. In
a southern town. however, little while
ago, after the party had left the church,
1t was discovered that the clergyman
had forgotten the words, with this
ring l thee wed," ETC., thus relieving
the bridegroom of the most serious part
of his obligations. and the fair bride
was minus u wedding ring. Instead Of
sitting down to the breakfast the party
hurried back to the church and were thus
practically married twice in one day.
Cupid ran amuck some years ago
among the old folk of Georgia town.
An old soldier, IS years Of age, led to
the altar an aged damsel who had seen
az summers. There were three brides
maids, whose ages respectively were 60,
So and 20. They were all spinsters
The best man, who was 75, brought the
combined ages up to 423 years.
An unusual kind of marriage was
celebrated in New York recently. This
was between a couple both deaf and
dumb. They held prayer books while q
friend pointed out the different passages
in the service as they were spoken by
the clergyman, and they made the Gus.
tomaTy responses in the deaf and dumb
alphabet.
An ingenious couple once conceived
the idea Of being married by phono-
g{aph. In the place where the BRIDE
groom resided he and the minister went
over the marriage service. and he recited
the proper responses into the instrument.
The photograph was sent TO the lady,
she willingly supplying the requisite,
Il WILL" and Il do" in the presence Of
her pastor, who then pronounced the
pair united in matrimopy. No explana-
ton is given of how they got over the
difficulty Of the ring.
A well known anthropologist, in de-
scribing various marriage customs, re-
fers TO a strange sort of symbolical mar.
riage which is supposed to have origi-
mated in India 1t is marriage with
trees, plants, animals and inanimate
objects. If any one proposes TO enter
upon q unicn which Is not IN accordance
with traditional IDEAS, il is believed
that ill luck which is sure to follow
may be averted by marriage Of this
kind, the evil consequences being borne
by the object chosen. In various regions
q girl must not marry before her eldest
sister, but the difficulty is overcome by
the eldest daughter marrying the branch
of . tree. Then the wedding of the
younger daughter may safely be cele-
brated. -Buffalo Express

You may inquire what influence i
think the free and unlimited coinage
n al nf To
have on the purchasing power of gold
and silver money. If such coinage
shall increase the volume of circu.at-
ing money the effect will be, to the ex-
tent of that increase, to raise the prices
OF commodities, and in the same pro-
portion to reduce the purchasing power
of money. Stated in another way. 1t
Will make property dearer and money
cheaper in proportion to the amount
of the increase of the volume of mon
ey. And this is the reason why the
plutocratS SO earnestly oppose free
coinage. 1t is their policy and to their
interest to have dear money and cheap
property and labor. While it is to the
interest and should be the policy OF
the industrial classes, who make the
wealth of the country, to have a suf-
ficient supply of money to stimulate
enterprise and industry, and make the
country prosperous and the people con.
tended and happy. And by restoring
silver as a part of the standard money
| the demand for gold will be somewhat
| reduced, and it will, to that extent
be less valuable as compared with the
| property of the country. But the free
| coinage of silver will cause no seriou.

Hanna's Methods.

Liberty and plutocracy are incom-
patible. If the few may control the
means Of livelihood of the many there
can be no liberty. 1t is only necessary
to look about us today and note the
devices adopted for coercion of the peo-
pie into support of Mark Hanna and
his puppet to estimate how slender a
shred of liberty the Entertainments Of
plusocracy have left to the people.
Vote for Hanna" cry some to their
employees. "or see wages cut and your
positions forfeited vote for our
ticket" cry others, "or expect such a
calling in of loans by our banks and
trust companies that you will be ru-
ined and your property put under the
hammer" vote for u.s." cry others.
or we will build you no more elevated
railroads. we will charge you more to
carry your wheat and cotton to market.
we will repudiate your insurance poll
cies. we will even deny you a liveli-
hood. Vote for our man or we brand
you as anarchist and communist. and
declare you should be shot down.
