A ROMANCE PUNCTURED.
MIR. Fate Could Not Secure a Bride
and bridegroom.

George Fate, marriage-license clerk in the
county clerks office, had planned a roman
tic scheme for some couple to get mar
RED just as the new year and new century
was being ushered in. and the only thing
that prevented the fruition of the scheme
was the absence of the two contracting
parties Mr. Fate has been diligent. and
all likely looking couples who applied for
license were solicited to have their names
go down in history as being the first couple
married i'm the twentieth century. Such
progress was made that plans were laid
for having the ceremony performed at
Englewood Christian Church after the
watch meeting there
AS no contradictory announcement was
made. everybody thought there would be an
event worth staying up till midnight to see.
and so strong was this sentiment that 1t
materially increased the attendance at the
watch meeting. The congregation had just
finished singing n hymn when a reporter
entered Everybody nudged each other.
Some considered him the bridegroom. while
others thought he was the forerunner of a
line of carriages bearing the bridal party.
The hour OF midnight passed. and no white
ribbons and dress suits appeared; neither
Was the quiet disturbed by the rumble Of
carriages. The doxology was sung the
congregation was dismissed. and all won
dered why the strange young man who en-
tered did not say something Finally the
people began TO Leave. Later IL developed
that the two subjects for the romance that
Mr.. Fate had procured had changed their
minds. They were TO have notified him at
o'clock yesterday afternoon. and instead
formation was carried that they would
not or could not wait till the end OF the
century To be married. and had the cere-
mony performed earlier

as on 123 days out of 365 reduced rates were
gwen on account of some convention, cele-
bration or political event. On several Sun
days from 5000 to 5000 people were brought
70 Indianapolis on excursion rates, and
While the general passenger agents, after
careful investigation, concede that IL cuts
into regular travel somewhat, the revenue
from the Sunday excursions handsomely
offsets the shortage in regular travel.
The ticket agents In charge of outside OF
fees report an increase from 10 TO 20 per
cent. In revenue from sales of tickets as
compared with those of 1899. Charles Stilz,
general ticket agent Of the Union Station,
thinks the increase including sales of
interchangeable mileage. will be II TO - per
cent. All lines centering here have bene-
nted by the increased traffic. II. Nj. Bron-
son, assistant general passenger agent OF
the Big -Four, states that every month or
the twelve their business has shown IL
handsome increase. C.. X. Daily, general
passenger agent of the Lake Erie & West
ern, says their line has no reason to COM
plain of the volume of its business.
Through better connections with the Lake
Shore IL has profted in a perceptibIe man
ner. W. w. Richardson. district passenger
agent of the ePnnsylvanis lines. says the
business Of both the Panhandle and Van
lila show considerable increase over 1888.
and District Passenger Agent Algeo. of the
Cincinnati, Hamilton e. Dayton and the
Monon. says his superior officers will have
no reason to complain of the results at
Indianapolis.
Without question. there has never been
year in which passenger rates have been
so we'll maintained as In 1900. The inter
chanegable mileage books. after three
years test. have become more popular, and
the travelling statesmen would dislike TO re-
turn to the old mileage ticket method. The
excellent business the roads have done the
past year gives evidence there is more
money in the country and people are re-
turning to their old habit of travelling
more.
