The doctors could get nothing from her

ASBURY PARK, June IL. 1902. The
Committee on Confessorate of the General
Synod OF the Reformed Church in Ameri-
ca sprung not altogether pleasant sur
prise upon that body today by the intro
duetion of a resolution to the effect that
no student while pursuing his studies in
seminary of the church, shall contract
marriage without first obtaining the for
nal consent of the faculty of the semi
nary. and that a marriage of a student
without such consent shall terminate his
connection with the institution.
There was considerable diversity Of
opinion among the delegates regarding the
proposition and the synod washed its
hands Of the matter by referring 1t to a
committee to report next year.
Probably the first address ever delivered
by full blooded Indian to any religious
body was made today before the General

delegate from Colony, Oklahoma This
speech was made in picturesque sign lam

FORGOT THE CLERGYMAN
SO Or. Thompson Aroused
From Slumber Shortly
Before Midnight.

About All hour before midnight or Non
day. the Rev. Arthur Newton Thompson
was reused from his slumbers. hustled
into a cab and driven rapidly along the
Boulevard to perform a belated marriage
ceremony in which Miss Estella Howe,
of No. 145 St Paurs avenue, and Mr..
James Fillmore Cox were Joined in holy
wedlock.
Several days ago Mr.. Cox called upon
DR. Thompson and made arrangements
for the ceremony, which was to take
place at the home of the bride on Mon
day evening at $50 Therefore at that
hour DR.. Thompson sat in his full dress
clerical raiment, listening for the sound
of wheels, but they came not About ten
o'clock the reverend doctor decided that
the bridegroom had changed his mind,
and retired Half an hour later the cab
arrived and DR.. Thompson was driven to
the brides home where he found about
eighty guests awaiting his arrival. The
delay had been caused through some
mistake in sending out the solitary car
rage employed 10 meet Trains AOf out-
of-town guests. Occasionally train was
late or a guest did not arrive till later
train. 1t had been arranged to call for
the bridegroom and the minister last,
but by the time the carriage reached the
prospective benedict it found him about
to give up and walk. He took it for
granted that the clergyman was already
awaiting him. and sent the carriage back
in hurry when he discovered that that
important individual had been overlooked.
The marriage, however, was performed
at eleven O'Clock and all went merry.
although through the delay the happy
couple had missed their train and had to
postpone the haReymasnl- start till the fol-
lowing day. The best man was Mr..
George Maston of Waikiki, n. Y, and the
maid Of honor Miss Lulu Brink Of steri-
ing. Pa The bride wore white satin and
carried white roses. She was given away
by her father, Mr.. Fred Howe. The maid
of honor wore white mousseline de sole
and carried pink roses. Supper followed

tected by Mr.. Aber-

Under resolution of the Board of FL
nance, passed al its last meeting, the
Committee on Concurrent Resolutions
met yesterday afternoon at the City Hail
for the special purpose Of appointing
Forrest A. Heath assistant clerk of tho
Board, assits auditor The Board Of Street
and Water Commissioners had accused
Heath of giving out false statements
about certain claims passed by II and
certified to the Boaxd of Finance for con-
currence, and this led to the well known
disgraceful INCIDENT in which Mr.. Heath
was so prominent.
The matter led the committee to ask
that its action in using Heath as an audi

for information. said Commissioner Per-
ry this morning. This he will do merely
to see what the method Of procedure is.
not because lie thinks there viii be any
need of his being present as a guard to
Mr.. Heath"
None of the Street and Water Commis-
souers could be seen this morning. as
they were before the Grand Jury. but it
is thought that as long as Heath repre-
sents the whole Board of Finance, as ne
now does. he will be accepted by the
Street and Water Commissioners.
Mr. Heath said this morning that he
mad nothing 10 say about the matter at
all, and that he would continue to do his
duty to the Board of Finance as ne
