Marriage BY Photograph.

A new use has been found for
the phonograp and one likely to
popularize the instrument to a
wonderful degree. It was used in
stead of clergyman at a wedding
at Binghamton, n T., and proved
not only a success, but delightful
innovation.
The marriage was that of a
young man to young woman who
had been suffering with dipthera
No clergyman in the town was will
ing to brave infection, and so the
happy idea was hit upon of having
one of them talk the marriage SER
vice into the photograph, and with
the machine in his pocket the hap
.py bridegroom FASTENED to the
house of his fiancee, and there the
two were joined in wedlock by the
metallic uttcrances of a swiftly re-
volving cylinder.
T. 1t can now be seen how useful the
photograph may become in this
connection. No longer will it be
necessary for clipping couples OF
those who lind it necessary to mar
ny in a hurry to go chasing abour
to pull clergyman out of bed at
unseemly hours of the night.
Photograph cylinders charged
with the words necessary to the
marriage service can be placed on
sale at the corner drug store and
all that is needed is to purchase
one and set the instrument at work.
If carried TO logical conclusion,
the marriage service by means of a
photograph can be sold with the
marriage license, and matrimonial
ly inclined couples can have
their weddings as lavish or
as private as their means or incli-
nations permit without having to
take a clergyman in to considera-
ton at all.
AS for the latter it opens up a
new field of industry, and one
which should be profitable. The
minister can spend his leisure time
in talking into monographs and
place the cylinders on sale. at the
most convenient points in the city.

fell q friend Of mine some time ago.
The friend in question was city editor
Of great daily, and in the course Of
his manifold duties it fell to his lot to
take to task one of his reporters. The
reporter in question was an English
man, slow Of thought and action and
misery of speech. Through the TRADE
to which he was subjected he said
nothing, and when it finally ended he,
left the presence Of his superior with
out any comment.
"But, as the result proved, he did
some tall thinking. City editors when
'Hled,' as Is well known, are not par
ticularly choice or economical in the
language they bestow on their unfor-
tunate reporters, and among other
things the Englishman had been told
that he was no better thanh fact,
was-a crazy man and that his proper
habitat was a lunatic asylum and not
the hall bedroom Of Chicago board
ing house which he occupied.
The Englishman took this part Of
the city EDITORS remarks as his text and
acted upon them. He promptly went
to an asylum. had himself thoroughly
examined by three OF four alienists
and secured from them an official GER
tdcate to the fact that he was sane.
With this he appeared at the Office of
his paper the next day, and, entering
the editors sanctum, he slapped it
down before his astonished and dis
mayed superior. Now, you go and get
one.' was his only comment and for

Professor Rogers and DR.. Dale were

noticed that his colleague, who always
spoke first, made the same speech. In
fact, so often did the professor give
that speech. that the worthy doctor
knew it off by heart, and this fact led
the latter to think Of way Of taking
the wind out Of his friends sails.

to allow him to speak first, an arrange

agreed, SO DR.. Dale rose and proceeded
