NO CHANGE IN THE
 STRIKE SITUATION
IT IS PROBABLE THE BEssEMER ROLLING MILLS WILL BE CLOSED DOWN FOR AN INDEF- MITE TIME.

Bessemer, May 25,-(speclal)-The sit nation at the rolling mills, where the strike Is on remains unchanged From the present indications 1t looks as if the mill will be closed down for some time, So far as is known neither side has made a move to adjust the differences.
 Several weeks ago the workmen in the mill struck on account of some differ ences arising between them and the su- perintendent, relative to new schedule. At that time both sides made statements in regard to their respective claims and ever since they have appeared to be de- termined to not recede from their first positions.
 Recently all the machinery has been painted to prevent rustng and all the salaried men have been informed that their services will not be needed after June 1.

MARRIAGE Oddities.


r. J. Lupson of Great Yarmouth
who has attended over 1000 we'd
dines as a parish clerk and given
away about 1900 brides of ages rang.
ing from 70 to 60, has published under
the title Of "Cupld's Pupils a record
of his experiences, relating many in
iteresting and quaint marriage incl
dents
He recalls one marriage that was
solemnlzed eight years after the banns
were first published. 1t was post
poned from 1876 to 1884.
Among romantic marriages Mr.
Lupson mentions those of a clergy
mans son to poor country laborer's
daughter and of a rector of a parish
to the daughter of a farm laborer
forty.two years younger than himself.
A comely girl of IS, who married
negro. is referred to.
A queer wedding party was that in
which the Bridegroom was a weak
stripping the bride six feet high, and
her brother. who accompanied her
giant of seven feet six inches, weigh
ing thirty-four stones.
Among the brides whom Lupson
has given away have been two spin
sters married to dying men and a
spinster from workhouse married to
a tramp.
Lupson recalls the fact that one
Sunday morning the clergyman had
to publish the banns of fifty-eight
couples. He tells of quaint blunders
by brides and bridegrooms; of a
couple who found they had not enough
to pay the marriage fee, and had to
postpone the wedding; of bridegroom
who borrowed money from his friends
at the last moment, and of others
who paid the fees in coppers
A member of waiting wedding
party was once found smoking his
pipe as he listened attentively to the
prayers of the communion service, and
in another case the Bridegroom urged
Lupson to tell the clergyman to hur-
ry up as he was perishing of cold.
One unworthy bridegroom was so
drunk that he had to see a chemist
and take long sleep before the
clergyman would unite him to the
girl of his cholce.-London Express.
