they find they were mistaken.
Five inhabitants of st. Joseph have
had almost monopoly of the pros

John Needham, Justices ]. G. st.
Clair and w. M. Smith, and Ministers
Thomas McRoberts and James Ham
ilton. They have gathered harvest
from licenses and marriage fees. Two
thousand couples have been married
by these five men within the last
year. They have been kept busy.
During the last week they were so
busy that two of the number, Clerk
Needham and Justice st. Clair, so
forgot their dignity as to discard their
coats and officiate in shirtwaists.
1t is only for the last year or more
that St. Joseph has enjoyed a popu-
larity among brides and bridegrooms.
Prior to August, 1899, Waukegan and
Michigan City were the popular
marriage resorts.

Nearly all the marriages take place
on Sunday at Clerk Needham's resi-
dence. Here on an average of 40
| couples are married every Sunday by
one of the four ministers and justices
already named. Since June 100
couples have been married every
week.-Chicago Tribune.

HETTY GREEN'S WEALTH.
She Would Have City of Palaces If
Her Mortgages Were Foreclosed.

Her Mortgages Were Foreclosed.
No one knows precisely the extent
of Hetty Green's wealth. 1t consists
for the most part of government bonds,
railroad stocks and mortgages, &C.
cording to the Ladies' Home Journal.
She says she is not so fond of govern
ment bonds since the finances of the
nation have become polluted with poll
tics. Good mortgages of any kind are
now her favorite form of investment.
If all the mortgages she holds were
foreclosed tomorrow 20 churches of
various denominations, in almost as
many states, would become hers, and
four cemeteries would be added to her
real estate. Besides there would be
blocks of great business buildings and
splendid city houses, theaters, livery
stables and hotels, country residences,
farms and ranches, factory buildings
and thousands of acres of valuable
land in all parts of the country. Sew.
eral years ago she made tour of in.
spection of all the property on which
she held mortgages. She spent two
years travelling and stayed at 40
hotels, In as many cities. Since then
she has added largely to her holdings
of this kind. The most conservative
estimates place Mrs. Green's wealth
at $bO,o00,OO0, but it is probably more

MARRIAGE FEES.
81. Joseph Weary of Being a Matri-
moniaI Mecca

monial Mecca.
Cupid's reign in ST. Joseph, Mich. is
nearing an end. For a year or more
ne has been supreme in Chicago's
Michigan suburb. and during his term
on the throne 1000 couples have been
united in matrimony by the ministers
and justices Of the peace of the little
town.
Now the residents of st. Joseph are
talking of securing the resembling of
the marriage laws of the state of
Michigan, and the men who hope to
represent the people OF st. Joseph in
Michigan state legislature may be in
duced to place an anti-quick marriage
law plank in their platform.
The revulsion of feeling on the part
of the people of st. Joseph is o.
casioned by the belief that they have
bought a gold brick. When the mar.
riage laws of Michigan were amended
m 1897, and when the excursion
steamers began to unload crowds of
prospective husbands and wives on
the Michigan shore, the people of st.
Joseph were jubilant. They welcomed
with open arms the runaway lovers
who had been barred from Milwau-
kee. But it was a spirit OF CONNER.
cialism and not of romance by which
they were actuated.
The people Of st. Joseph lad be-
lieved that the newly-wedded pairs
would bring prosperity to their town.
They thought that the grooms would
