BARGE OFFICE MARRIAGES.
MRS STUCKLIN THE CHAMPION M
TERNATIONAL MATCHMAKER.


Female Immigrants Pass, and She
Brings About an Average of 100 We'd
dings n Year - Elopera from Europe.
The champion international matchmaker is
Mrs Regina Stucklin, who Is entered on Uncle
Sans payrolls as an inspcctrcss at the barge
Office. Her marriages average three every week Of
the year she is on duty and as she has now been
in the immigration service fifteen years her grand
total Is enough TO make an East Side schatchen
Jealous Mrs Stucklin is supposed TO watch ex-
cusivey over the female immigrants and doesn't
pay any attention 20 male arrivals except as they
happen TO concern her own charges In her
fifteen years Of service she has passed on tho
morals OF more than two and one half million
women and girls She doesn't pretend that her
judgment is infallible Many women whom the
law intends TO keep out have no doubt managed
10 pass her eye, but the number she has detected
would amaze a criminologist or psychologist see
ing her at work And not the least cause for
wonder would be Mrs Stuckns inattcntion TO
the signs Of criminaity and immortality as Grim
inologiss and psychologists have defined them.
She doesn't know anything about abnormal ears
and noses and eyes and hands Indeed, II any one
can outline her methods il is more than she
herself has been able TO do.
She has n desk in the centre Of the registry
division Of the Barge Office and on the desk is
kept list OF incoming steamers When the
transfer boats with their loads Of passengers
fresh from the storage OF the latest arriving
steamers approach the Barge Office the medical
inspector takes his position where he can meet
the line OF immigrants as they land. just beyond
him on the opposite side of the line Mrs Stucklin
