Why should we use cheap, impure, un-

Marriage Boom in
st. Joseph.

Mr.. John w. Needham, county clerk
of Berrien county, Mich, is making a
snug fortune out of his marriage Ii
cense fees. Michigan's marriage laws
are lax. Wisconsin's legislature has
passed a law which prevented secret
marriages in the state. Chicagos
sweethearts seem to have a dislike to
being married in their native town. Mr..
J. II. Graham, president of an excur-
sion line with boats running between
Chicago and st. Joseph. suggested to
Needham that he make that town the
Gretna Green of Chicago.
Needham advertised extensively in
Chicago papers, setting forth the adj
vantages Of being married In St Jo-
seph. Owners of the excursion line
announced that they would furnish
free on certain days orders on the
county clerk for marriage licenses to
any of the passengers. The result was
all that could be expected. Needham
has been kept busy ever since issuing
licenses. His residence across the
street was crowded with couples who
were being married.
1t became necessary to set apart
bridal room" Mrs Needham. the
young wife Of the clerk, acts as brides
maid On Sunday a minister and a
justice of the peace remain at the
house Candidates for matrimony can
have their choice Of civil or reli-
gious ceremony. There have been more
than 1900 marriages in the town with

day was sc, on July A.
Marriage clubs are being formed in
several neighboring cities. They char
ter special trains and go to st. Joseph.
The latest club was formed at Misha-
waka, Ind. and q couples will go to
st. Joseph next week on a special
train. Two ministers and one justice
of the peace have been engaged 70 per-
form the ceremonies.
According to the laws of Michigan,
the county clerk receives $4,000 year
and the marriage license fees. The le-
gal price is 81, but the usual price paid
Is 81. Nearly all the couples arrive
on the Chicago boat. The excursion
lists are met at the wharf by a police
man, who escorts the prospective bride
grooms to the county clerks Office and
house. At the house the couples sit

event of the strike being continued for
a long period, the entire congregation
