son has officiated in many a marriage the
circumstances attending which were highly
romantic.
An instance sometimes occurs in which
the bride is only Is years Of age. while the
groom is a widower Of from 40 to 60 years.
At times the reverse OF this happens, tho
groom being a mere youth who has per-
mitted the cunning Of some gray-haired
but risky widow to entrap him.
An instance is on record where a youthful
mountain boy and girl rode up to Parson
B~urroughs's home on a mule. the girl seat
ed on a coffee sack behind her lover. The
jeans and wore a %sunburnt SLOUGH hat and
brogan shoes. and the girl on the coffee
sack was gowned in a faded blue calico and
wore a gutta percha Engagement ring.
Pulling on the reins to stop the mule the
youthful mountaineer yelled ''helloi' Par.

the youngsters reply, and without waiting
for the parson to cut the price he spurred
the old mule and started OF in the direc-
ton Of the Tarheel State. Ffv days later
that couple came back. the worse for tho
wear and tear OF O fruitless journey, and
were married by Parson Burroughs.

TENNESSEE PARSON HAS MARRIED
A THOUSAND RUNAWAY COUPLES.

Special Correspondence OF The Sunday Republic.
ten years the Reverend Alfred Harrison
Burroughs. now Is years of age, has fig
ured conspicuously in the romances of life
on the boundary line between two States.
In August, 1889. when he leased the Nick
els House. BristoTs Oldest hotel, a pair OF
rural lovers strolled into the hotel office.
The prospective groom accosted Mr.. Bur-
roughs with, Cant you marry us?' Up to
that time Mr.. Burroughs had thought little
OF marrying people as a business, but he
made this a starting point. It was done
well for a green hand and it encouraged
Mr.. Burroughs. This first couple were Vir-
sfnians. and they had come across the
border line into Tennessee to avoid the Vir-
GINA marriage laws. which prohibit the
marriage Of minors except with the writ
ten consent Of parents. Thought Mr.. Bur
~roughs, II will establish a Mecca for flee
ing lovers. and l shall be known as the
Parson."
This was the beginning Of what proved
to be a big business, yielding to Parson
Burroughs several thousand dollars in fees.
From that eventful day in August it has
been a prominent feature of the business
at the Nickels House. and this '.pHnce Of
matrimonial parsons" as he has been
dubbed. has married hundreds Of couples.
and last week the number amounted to an
even thousand.

roughs Cupid has practiced his wiles to his
hearts content. and the gray-haired par

London. and none have been the recipient
Of more marked honors at the hands of
royalty than she.
American pluck, determination and ener-
gy have never been more strongly demon
strated than In Nine. Blauvelt's career
abroad and at home. Beginning as a child
violinist in Brooklyn. it was soon discov-
cred that she had a voice. instrumental
music was abandoned for vocal, and shortly
afterwards she became the solo soprano at
the Plymouth Church in Brooklyn. She
studied for two years with Mgr.
Jacques Bouhy at the Grand Opera. Paris,
and sang for the following two years in
concert and opera in Russia and Germany.
Seven years ago she returned to America
and established an enyiable reputation in
this country In appearances at oil the great
musical festivals and concerts.
In March: 1898, she was in Rome on a
announced a recital Of Verdi's Requiem.
The singer who had been engaged for the
soprano part was taken Ill and Count San
about to announce the abandonment OF this
programme when he heard that Nine. BIau-
Welt was in Rome. He called on her and
the Requiem: She accepted and learned it
In Latin in four days. She created a sem
sation. and her success was written about
in all the principal papers Of the Continent.
Queen Margherita summoned Nine. Blau-
welt to the royal box and personally COM
piimented her on her success.
When Nine. Blauvelt sailed for Europe in

her present Homecoming, and to return to
London for the approaching season. Be-

The Same Old Story.

The legislature just adjourned be-
gan its session as many of its prede-
cessOrs had done, in song of praise,
harped almost in unison by the press
of the state.
Before its labors had fairly begun it
encountered snags, and, PERHAPS, no
legislature was ever more roundly
abused.
The following extract from the PEN
sacola Journal is a sample in kind:
The legislature that has just pnt up its shut
tiers and famed off its eloquence is one OF the
worst political problems with which the people
of Florida have had to deal for many year.
Seasoned veterans, who have since the days OF
reconstruction survived the rigors of the ITALIA
hassee climate, all agree in describing the pres
ent session as the most corrupt and inefficient
that has since 1891 disgraced the state.
In that year the late John Dunn, of ocala, was
done to death by his so-called friends and SIX
wears later another eminent son of Florida was
struck down in the house of his friends.
The men accused of these things are still in
the front rank. The men they deceived and
ruined are long since dea but what shall be
said of an administration whose inspiration IS
all derived from source so suspicious

The South's Prosperity.

The south Is in clover these days.
1t is estimated that its cotton crop in
1900 will be worth from $3.50 O00, 900 to
S5O0,000,000, as compared with an
average of s3OO,OO0,0OO in recent pre-
vious years. Moreover a larger
portion of the crop is being man.
ufactured every year by southern
mills. In 1901, according to estimates,
the mills of the south will use 1885,
900 bales, as compared with 1880, 900
in 1899. Here are gains in both direc-
tons for the south which ought to
make that section supremacy happy,
as undoubtedly it is.-St. Louis Globe
Democrat.

The credit for so large an appropria.
ton is almost wholly due to Hon.
George w. Wilson, president, and
Hon. John d. Galloway, secretary, of
the board of trustees.
Judgment, tact, skill, diplomacy
and rare executive ability were re-
quired, all of which were displayed by
these gentlemen, as the results show.
This, perhaps, will be more clearly
understood when it is remembered
that ten thousand dollars is the
largest sum ever secured by any pre-
vious board of trustees.
Mr.. Wilson invited the president of
the State Agricultural Society, the
president of the State Horticultural
Society and prominent members of
the State Farmers Institute from va
rious sections of the state to go before
the committee and plead for the APP
preparation, which, together with the
statement from the committee on the
part of the board of trustees, had a
most telling effect.
The amount asked for was unani-
mously recommended.
We believe it will prove fortunate
for the state of Florida. We believe
it is the best days work ever done by
any legislature.
1t is now in the power of the board
of trustees to found college that will
reflect honor on our growing state and
rebound to the good of its youth of
both sexes.
