ILLEGAL MARRIAGES.
Fourteen solemni.ed in English
Churches Found to BE Void
ON Trivial Grounds.

It will come as a disagreeable shock
to any surviving couples who were
married in St. Johns old church,
Sleighs, in 1928, to learn that their
marriages were not legal, says the
London Daily Mail.
Such, however, is the startling fact,
and the remark applies not only to
this church but to 10 others, in all
of which marriages have taken place,
although they were not licensed for
the purpose.
In order to legalize these unions,
Lord Belper has brought forward .
bill in parliament.
The chapelry of Ugglebarnby, in the
York diocese, possesses three of these
churches, two of which may be
called the patriarchs of illegal
marriages. The church of the
Ancient Chapelry of Ugglebarnby
conservation. Its fellow-patriarch, st.
Johns old church, also in the chapelry,
has had no license since 1927. The
other of the trio is St. Johns new
church, in which illegal marriages
have only been performed since 1895.
At Cadney-cum-Howsham marriages
have been illegally performed in two
places-the parish room of Cadney
and the chapel of Howsham.
In the case of the parish church of
Llansaintffraid Cwmtoyddwr, of Cwm-
dauddwr, in the. diocese of Radnor. it
has been ironically suggested that it
was deprived of its license in 1865 be-
cause marriage certificate bearing
the name of the church would have
been too unwieldy.
The number of marriages which have
taken place in the IA churches cannot
easily be discovered, but some idea of
the number may be gathered from the
fact that at St. Andrews church, Dali
ton7le-Dale, between 300 and 400 have
been solemnized.
The other churches are New Bas-
ford church; Christ church, Bradford:
church of the new parish of the Lodge,
Salop; St. Helen's church, Ore; st. Sa-
viour's Ringiey; St. Johns, Ipswich;
St. Peters, Woodmansey.
In addition to these, the church of
st. Mary, Greenhithe, has been used
as the parish church of the residents
of the two training ships lying of
Greenhithe. Before October II, 1899,
these residents did not belong to the
parish. The banns published and MARI
riages solemnized before that date are
legalized by Lord Belper's bill.
Clause three of the bill freely for
gives all the ministers concerned. and
absolves them from any penalties in

STARTLEs THE BAPTIsTS.
Rev. Johnston Myers Tells Audience
at Mexico, Mo-, That Work of
Church Is to Save from He'll.

Rev. Johnston Myers, pastor of the
Emmanuel Baptist church of Chicago,
startled the State Baptist Young Peo-
pies union at Mexico, Mo-, the other
day in his address on ''Soul Winning" :"
He told the preachers and delegates
that there was something wrong with
the churches of to-day. This is why
the country has Christian Science,
faith cures and other strange doc
trines, he said. .'The people are look
ing for something the churches are
not affording them, heartfelt religion.
A variety of fads have swept the
churches and preachers in some cases
have gone after them instead of after
souls. The ministers are in society.
They are good fellows instead of soul
winners. I like to see people SO afraid
of me that they will walk over on the
other side of the street, fearing that
will talk religion to them. That's my
only business, to save souls.
1T is not the part of the church to
educate men, for thousands of uni-
yersity graduates go down to hell. If
had $1,o0o.o00 | would give $100 to
education and the rest to salvation.
The church is to save men from hell,
not to educate them

Mrs. Fannie Hall, 5423 Wentworth av-

home delirious with Joy over the re-
union with her husband and her baby
Helen. Mrs. Hall lives in small apart
ment in two-story frame building in
Wentworth avenue. She is not rich.
Her husband is master mechanic in
an automobile shop. But she prefers
the society Of her husband and child
to that of the rich and distinguished
peoplefto be found in the old world.
She started for Europe Decoration
day. She had hardly passed the statue
of Liberty on the outward voyage
when home sickness. seized her. For
every wave from Bedloe's island to
southampton she shed a tear, and
when she got there she could hardly
wait for the gangplank to be lowered
before she was asking directions to the
first boat back to New York. She had
return ticket and money waiting her
at Baden-Baden, but she couldn't wait.
She drifted aimiessly about London for
three days. and then boarded the Kai-
ser Wilhelm der Crosse for New York.
When she arrived in Gotham she was
penniless. A dispatch to her aston
ished husband produced the necessary
funds, and she at once took passage
on "a fast train to Chicago.
Hereafter Chicago is good enough

preferred the route partly because
1T is shorter than the open sea course
and partly because it is easier to adj

course, in passing through He'll Gate
than in passing through the narrows,

pretty well in getting through unless
there should be tangle of craft.
The battleship got through ship

course. There is plenty of water in
the gate and the navigators of the
Massachusetts knew by chart and ex-
perience just where to find it.

OF the navy yard, did not approve

trade, as the representative of the
Snoqualmie Falls Power company of

plaque, which is eight by ten inches

high, which is higher than the Some,of
the capital. The power from the falls
is transmitted 81 miles to Seattle and
A to Tacoma. The base of the plaque
is solid silver. while the figures in bas
relief are of gold. The figures in gold
represent the flour mills, smelling
works, street car lines, the Seattle dis
tributing station, the underground
machinery chamber, and a sketch of
scenes along the route. The present

GENEROSITY BRINGS WEALTH
New York Man Is Richly Rewarded
for Kindness shown to
Friend.

Registrar James B. Howe, of Brook
1yn, bought 400 acres of swamp land,
including lake, in Florida a few years
ago to help out friend whe was in
financial trouble. He never gave the
property any thought until few days
ago, when two men called on him and
made an offer to buy it. The strangers
seemed so eager he put them off tenn
porarily and took trip down to Flori-
da. Investigation proved that the bot
tom of the lake where pfs property is
situated is a solid deposit several feet
deep of the valuable clay known as
kaolin, from which the finest china
ware is made-enough, in fact, to last
for genera tions.
He refused to sell his property and
took shares in the company which the
two men represented. A Agigantic plant
has been erected on the spot and the
stock company cannot be bought. Mr..
Howe is vice president. There are only
a few places in the world where this
kaOlin has been discovered One de-
posit is in China, which gave to crock
cry its name. Two others are now
known in the world. The deposit upon
Mr.. Howe's property is enough to fur
nish the United States, and there is
reason to believe he will be immensely
wealthy as the result of his generosity
to an old friend in need.

NEW HORSE DISEASE.
Ten Thousand Horses in Manhattan
succumb in Week, and Doc-s
tors Are Puzzled

Zen thousand horses in Manhattan
have succumbed within a week to a
new epidemic, which so far has puzzled
the veterinarians, who admit that they
have not yet been able positively to
determine the cause and nature of the
disease or successfully treat it. The
trouble first became apparent week
ago, and since then the outbreak has
been general, affecting the high bred
roadsters and coach horses, as well
as the beasts of the truck1nen and
peddlers. The disease, however, is
more prevalent among the heavy draft
horses in the downtown districts
than anywhere else.
The symptoms are high fever, q
cough, loss of appetite, and general
weakness, in many cases amounting
to complete collapse in harness.
Although there have been no deaths,
DR.. +. j. McCaferty, of the New York
Veterinary hospital, said the other day
that the new epidemic was the most
serious outbreak Of disease among
horses since 1874, when the epizootic
killed thousands and made ten times
as many useless. The epizootic last
ed six weeks in this neighborhood, and
IN that time horse on the streets of
New York was something of curios-
ity. Most of the trucking was done
with oxen.

He says he finds the skilled labor good,
