Married One thousand Couples.

Rev. John Henry Burroughs, Of
Bristol, Tenn, married hs;s Que thou-
sandth runaway couple during the
past "eek. BE iscommoniy and wide
" known as ''Parson Burroughs.
His sole profession for Tho last eleven
years has been thss Of marrying, and
his phenomenal record has baen gained
IN :hss time. Bristol is situated
squarely on the Tennessee and Vir-
ginia State line. This gives Parson
burroughs an advantageous location
for his calling. To him apreater part
of the one thousand couples have come
from Virginia, where the State law is
more inimioal to the matrimonial in
tentions Of the young than in Tennes-
see.
Main street Of Bristol is tie central
street Of the city III Tho SStsie line runs
in the middle Of the street. The
quarters of the marrying parson are
OH the Tennessee side Of the street
aud conveniently near the depot.
Theae one .hc1saud marriages nave
taken place in the parlor Of the Nick
els house, which serves also as the
Office Of the marrying parson. The
Nickels house is respectable hotel
which Mrs. Burroughs looks after
while her husband is attending to his
| more serious duties. Mrs. Burroughs,
however, is matron Of honor at all the
weddings and takes motherly inter-
est in every bride. She is quite as
we'll known in the marriage ceremo-
| nies in the N;cke,s house as her hus-
hand.
Parson Burroughs meets the incom-
ing trains with the regularity Of a
hotel porter. Any who may be seek
ing his services could not be misled
by his appearance. He always ap-
pears at The depot in his Prince Albert
coat and wearing white neckties and a
digni6ed derby hat. His bearing in
all respects is ministerial. His small
Ggure may be seen nervously aud
quickly pacing up and down the depot
platform. Wherever there is couple
of young people or bevy of them
about tho depot, there he will most
| consPicuous.y present himself, not as
vulgar prier or eavesdropper, but
with a delicate appearance Of uncon-
cern. If the prospective bride aud
! groom desire his services his atten tion
may be easily attracted, whcreupon
he leads the way to the Nickcls house
the Gretna Green of Tennessee and
Virginia.
His presence ut the depot, it is
claimed, has put it into the heads of
many couples to go to the Nickels
house and be welded at once out of
an impulse to be romantic, who before
had not given serious thought to mar
riage.
farson Burroughs has the distinc-
ton among those VINO oficiates at
Grctna Greens Of being the only one
who makes it his sole occupation. It
has been worth his while between the
marriage fees he has received and the
board money his wife has made.
tie has no fixed marriage fee. He
has received various amounts, ranging
from 30 cents to $50.
Before giving himself up to his
matrimonial business Parson Bur-
roughs was Methodist minister,
regularly ordained. His standing in
his community is high and overv Bris-
tolian has kind word for their famous
"parson.''

MONIES IOr mlltlOnS or men where there
are now only hundreds. Coal is ex.
ceediugly expensive, and there is little
wood to be had. If the sun motor
will pump water, it will also grind
grain, aud saw lumber and run elec-
trio cars. In Central California, in q
section where there is large. stream
of water available for supplying the
power, the promoters Of an electric
enterprise are hesitating about the out
lay of large sum of money in build
ing dam and are thinking of using
solar motors because the initial ex.
pense would be only half the cost of
the dam.
In any land of long sunlight there
need be no stop over night of the ma
chinery run by solar motors; for tho
storage Of electric power by III. ne
ohiue is promised by engineers.
Of the many former aud unsuccess-
fnl devices to utilize the suns heat
for power-aside from the mere toys
Of tinkeriEg inventors-Ericson's is
the most famons The MUD that
modelled the Monitor gave years
to this problem. But Ericson's sun
motor was not successful. Other
mcchanically-minded men tried 70
trap sun. beams and make them work
for q living, but they danced through
all the meshes of the strange nets
spread for them by eager hands. Pro.

| Future ages may see the seat Of

earth now barren and desolated under
intense solar heat-countries which,
for that yory cause, will not i,nprob
ably become the seat of mechanical
and hence political powcr. Whoever
finds the way to make industrially use
full the vast sun power now wasted or
deserts OF North America or the shores
Of the Red Sea, will effect greater
change in men s affairs than any con
queror in history has done; for he vii

alona and will run until the sun gets
80 low that there is no more heat.
Then it will stop, rest over night; and
all that is needed to start it when the

years experimental work and of
very considerable outlay of
money. Device after device was made
and rejected. A model was built and
set up in Denver year ago, and its
feeble workings convinced the pro-
moters of the plan that they were on
the way to success.

RAILROAD PASSES

To the Editor of The Herald:
The interest manifested with respect

Judiciary and other public officials rid
ing on passes, received, retained and
use as a courtesy CD from attorneys
representing railroad companies, 1 hope
will result in corrective legislation. l
can conceive of no proper reason why
the custom heretofore existing in Utah
should not be checked
The argument that such courtesies
are customary does not furnish a Suf-
fcient excuse. for it is generally con-
ceeded that such a custom is bad
one, and Tor that very reason II should
he discontinued. If there be no i'm
propriety in JUDGES riding on passes
why was it thas men of such unques-
toned integrity as Judge Marshall of
the federal court and Judge Hiles of
out state court returned the passes
sent them by the railway companies?
If public officials, including members
of our state Legislature, are to continue
to receive passes from railway officials,
how long will it be before the legis-
lature in obedience to the mandate of
our constitution. vitaliZes article u,
section 10, which reads as follows:
''The legislature shall pass laws eStab-
fishing reasonable maximum rates of
charges for the transportation of pas
sengers and freight. for correcting
abuses, and preventing discrimination
and extortion in tates of freight and
passenger tariffs by the different rail
roads, and other common carriers in
/ the state and shall enforce such laws
by adequate penalties
Instead of obeying this plain mandate
of the constitution, we find the tenden-
cies Of the peoples representatives are
/ TO grant favorable legislation for rail
roads unparalleled in the history OF
| the states.
The whole pass system is an evil
as now existing. and should either bt

New York, Missouri. Kentucky. Ar

ing forfeiture of office for any viola

those who are least able, not only pay
their own fares. but the fare also of
those who ride free. If this infamous

An extract from a speech delivered
by James A Garfield in congress June
Y, 1874, is appropriate here He said:
: 1T is painfully evident from the ex>
perience of the last few years that the
ef1orts OF the states to regulate their
railroads have amounted to d little
more than feeble annoyance. In many
cases the corporations have treated
such efforts as impertinent meddling,
and have brushed away legislative re-
stT1ctlons as easily as CULVER broke
the cords with which the Lilliputians
attempted to bind him. In these con-
! tests the corporations became conscious
+ of their strength and have entered the
work of controlling the states. Already
/ they have captured some of the oldest
and strongest of them, and these dis
! crowned sOvereigns now follow in
/ chains the triumphal chariot of their
conquerOrs. And this does not imply
/ that merely the officers and represen-
! tatiVeS of states have been subjected
/ TO the railways, but that the corpora
! tons have grasped the sources and
/ foundation OF power, and control the
| choice of both officers and representa-
| tives."
1t is to be hoped that our legislature
viii arouse itself to a full realization
| of the Importance of the duties which
it owes to the people and to Htigants
and at the same time, see to it that
railroads and public officials shall, at
| least, be restricted to the same proprie-
ties which attaches to the common cit
/ izen.
