After the Bachelors.

Boston, April l9.-At the eighth
annual reunion of the Irish of the
st. Marks Parish of Cambridge.
Thursday night, the Rev. Thomas
Scully took occasion to speak few
plain words to the unmarried men
of the parish.
He declared that hereafter he
proposes to tax all unmarried men
in his parish over twenty-five years
of age go year until they reach
the age of thirty.fve, when they
will be exempt from the tax. as
the priest says that no woman
would care to marry them then.
II do not propose to open a aImat-
agency, but something
has to be done to keep so many of
these bright, intelligent young men
from becoming bachelors.
