Too Few Marriages.


In a recent review of the increased busi-
ness activities of Baltimore in 1898 the
Sun noted the decline of matrimonial ven
lures i'm that year. There were fewer mar
riages than in 1897. The same phenomenon
has impressed the Rev. L. G. NJ. Carroll of
Jersey City, who in an address TO his con-
gregation deplored the small number of
marriages. Contributions had increased to
SIG. 200 but there were only fifty-three mar
Tages. Il am afraid he said, that our
young women are altogether too stylish
and expect too much. They want a house
and lot and the house furnished before
they will consent to marry Their parents
did not have ali these things. 1 have been
told that some of the young men and
young women In this parish have been
keeping company for from six to ten years
That is altogether too long. l hope the
young men will take more courage on this
question of marriage, and 1 also hope that
the young people will not try to be too
well off before making up their minds TO
get married"
Now that business is brisk in Baltimore
and real estate is low, there ought to be
more transactions in our matrimonial mar
ket instead of fewer Possibly the excep-
tionally high tax rate in 1897 was the cause
of the slack flow of proposals and accept
ances. Careful people do not like to buy
lots on a falling real estate market. In
Jersey City marriages are fewer than they
might be, according to Rev. Carroll, be
cause the girls do not promptly bring their
beaus to the point of popping the question.
Is this due to the lack of skill, or to the
superior sweets of counting in comparison
with housekeeping? In Baltimore there Is
no lack of diplomacy, and housekeeping is
an art in which intending wives excel. The
question is popped as soon as the girls
think 1t timely But when is it timely?
That is what no fellow can find out"
Father Carroll says timeliness comes in
New Jersey with the possession of a fur
nished house, but hearts are trumps with
Baltimore girls.

Finance Committee Has Not Yet De-

Ilnhhce committee HAS Not Yet De-
cided on a Recommendation.
The france committee of Council met
at the city exchange yesterday afternoon
for the purpose of investigating the city's
financial condition, with a view to revis-
ing the budget for 1899, so that il will
come within the amount of estimated rev.
enue. The meeting lasted some time. but
the committee did not reach any definite
conclusion.
Before the facts are sufficiently obtained
to enable the committee to decide on a
Recommendation, il is expected several
meetings viii be had. The committee IS
well supplied with data. so that there will
information that may have been desired
from any of the departments.
Chairman Tiedeman was seen after the
meeting, but stated that the committee
had not reached any conclusion, and was
not ready, therefore, to give out any in
formation He is against giving out in
formation about the report before 1t be
comes public property in Council.
A great deal of interest centers in the
committees action This is especially
true with city employees, who are wonder
ing whether the intention is to recon-
mend a cut in salaries. Some feel they
are getting as little now as they can af-
ford to work for, and fear that a cut at
present may bring hardships upon them,
or force them to draw the lines Of econ
omy closer.
Alderman Tiedeman said, however, that
he is opposed to using the ground rent as
set, or any other investment the city may
possess. He does not approve using up
interest, principal and everything else to
live on. He said the committee will make
its report at the meeting of Council We'd
nesday night, before which there will
probaly be nothing to give out.
