SCARCITY OF
MARRIAGES.

For some unknown reason there
is great slump in the matrimon-
ial market in this city. Local
ministers are becoming worried
over the small number of marriag-
es but are unable to give any
reasonable cause why there has
been SO few marriages the first
week after lent, when they are tie
ing knots during that week. 1t
has been suggested that the very
liberal inducements offered made
by Alfred l.. Schafiners Select
Matrimonial Bureau has had q
bad effect on those who might
have been thinking seriously on
the subject. Schatf'ner offers to
arrange happy marriages for tho
sum Of one dollar. This is thought
to be to cheap by the marri lgable
ones and they are waiting TO an
advance before they take the final
step.
The ministers however do not
believe that Schatfners matrimonial
bureau has anything to do with
the situation, but attribute tho
unlocked for slump to the un-
usual early Easter.
They are looking for sudden
boom in the above line in few
days. 1t is a matter Of fact that
there has been fewer after Lenten
marriages in Wilmington this
year than for many years past,
The matter was commented on
this morning by very prominent
local minister. He said that 50
far he has not performed wedd-
ing ceremony since Easter whero
in former years the first week after
Lent lie would have one or more
every day. Many other ministers
also say that they have been call
ed on to oHiciate at but few wedd-
ings.
