sPURRED ON TO MARRIAGE.
Priests Hint Way Result in Five
Hundred Weddings.

SOUTH BETHLEHEM Pa. April IL
! The Rev. Philip McEnrOe still believes that
! marriage is q necessary step TO true hap
/ piness and a necessary adjunct to a moral
! life. He thinks the young people of his
! parish need no further advice on the sub
J ject. and he looks to a healthy boom in
/ Ihe matrimonial market after Easter
The young men in the parish are awak
| ening to the fact that the best and pref
| tiest girls in the State are in the Holy
| Infancy congregation. and the priest ex-
poets that 500 Of them will soon be happy
wives.
The good priest enjoys greatly the let
ters he receives, particularly those from
men who desire widows. In many cases
the men who want widows ate widowers.
John c. Clark. OF Kansas, is one of them.
He is fifty-two years old. has eight grown
sons and a farm of Ie0 acres. which is en-
tirely free from debt. He also has some
money saved. He thinks a widow would be
more economical than single girl He has
been married twice. both wives being
dead.
After calling attention to all his own
good qualities Clark asks that the priest
also use his influence to get a widow for
his neighbor. a bachelor forty-nine years
old who has big farm on which there is
a mortgage of only 81. 100.
A young fellow from New York. who
begs the priest not to mention his name.
writes that, from what he has seen of girls.
he thinks a widow would make him the
better wife. He is a cOmpositor by trade
and works at night He thinks a widow
would know how to keep herself occupied
during the day so she would not be lone
some for him. He prefers a blonde be-
tween the ages of twenty-five and thirty,
and says as he was born in the country.
he prefers a wife from the country.
4 widow from Paterson wants a young
husband She says her friends say she is
d new woman, and she thinks an old hus-
band would be too much out of date for
her style Of living.
Father McEnroe has answered only one
CT the letters. This was TO a widower
named Harllins in a Massachusetts, town.
The priest wrote him two letters and re-
ceived three and then made up his mind
that the fellow was a fake and wrote him
his opinion Of him Father McEnroe will
pay no more attention to any letters he re-
C5ives.

BRIDGEPORT, Conn, April 11.-Jennie
Harwitz factory girl, has danced herseli
into madhouse. The young woman is
now an inmate of the insane pavilion,
where she waltzes until forcibly restrained
by the officials She was the envy of hun
dleds OF young women because of her pop
ularity among the young beaus, who eager
ly sought her at all dances. She has taken
several prizes this winter at masquerades
and hops given by various organic tions.
At these functions she was always sur
rounded by young men seeking a number
on her programme.
a few weeks ago Miss Harwitz became
melancholy. Her shopmates noticed the
change from her usual happy disposition,
hut they did not know what TO attribute it
to. Yesterday she decided not to go TO
work. but remained in her home. at No. 209
Hamilton Street.
Suddenly she was seized with mania,
and taking a chair. began to waltz about
the room. Everything in the way fell be-
fore her with a crash. including bric-a-brac
on a table. The occupants of the house
tried TO restrain her, but their efforts only
maddened the girl. and she dashed about
wildly until help came. She was removed
10 the insane pavilion. where the employees
are obliged to watch her closely to prevent
her becoming unduly excited.
The young woman has had passion for
dancing. and during the last winter has
been night after night at receptions. She
learned to dance when little girl. and
since then has won many prizes for her
graceful steps. The physicians think she

NEW YORK, April u.-Heirs and fela-

lionaire rubber and oil king, who died on

gathered around safe in his library yes

When Mr.. Martin died his will was in
his safe and no one knew the combination.
In addition TO the bank accounts and the
will. it is supposed to contain several bags
of gold coin.
A real old time burglar, tame and well
behaved, was what was really needed, but
such cannot be had at demand, so the heirs
called in Policeman John Faulkner. the

He was sent TO the beautiful Martin
residence, on the RaTitan, yesterday, and
he soon concluded that he had tackled the
contract of his life. In the first place, it
was necessary to work his way through
three fireproof doors in the vault before
he reached the safe itself. The safe was
small enough, but had been constructed

treasures within. Professional CTacksmen
would have had the hardest sort OF d time
with it.
FauIykner found that ii was built Cf the
best chilled steel plates. and that ordinary
safe bits were soon ruined after contact
with it. He finally began drawing the
steel rivets and removing plate after plate.
AS he worked, the Misses Martin, sisters
OF the dead man, watched the proceedings.
and other relatives waited in another
room. Faulkner worked hard, and il -
expected that some time today the Will,
bank books and bags OF gold coin will be
taken out.
