Philadelphia Pastor Discovers Des
crease in the Number OF Mar
riagea and Tells the
Reason Therefor.

According to Rev. Russell 81. Con.
we'll D. D., pastor of the Baptist tenn
pie of Philadelphia, the fact that the
number of marriage licenses issued
during the last year in that city were
fewer than in the previous year by 1000
or more is due to the rapidly increas-
ing number of young woman who
have acquired business college edu-
cation and are, therefore, fully
equipped to enter the lists of the com.
merciai world and earn comtorta.
BILE livelihood.
No longer compelled to endure q
life of enforced idleness, often with
out a fixed income, while waiting for
an eligible young man to turn up
with a proposal of marriage, the aver
age young woman of the industrial
classes, DR.. Conway AYERS, now has
@ substantial position to occupy her
time and to enable her to be indie
pendent.
Leaders of society in this city agree
with DR.. Conwell that the decrease in
the number of marriages has been
confined to the industrial classes.
Mrs. Cornelius Stevenson said to-
day that there had been no apparent
change in the fashionable spring and
autumn marriages, but on the other
hand. there had perhaps been more
engagements announced during the
last year than for several years. Cd"
The books of the marriage license
bureau show that, despite the fact
that last month broke all records for
November in the history of the bu-
reau, and June, "the month of brides"
went far beyond the average this
year, Dan Cupid has been caught nap
ping.
Although one day toward the end
of May more than 100 licenses were
issued, this being the greatest single
days record since the bureau was es-
;tabilshed in 1885, there was steady
falling off of requests for licenses com.
pared day by day with the previous
years.
1.-The secret of the decrease in mar
rage licenses" DR.. Conwell said, smay
be attributed, in my opinion, to the
significant fact that throughout the
city the business colleges are turn
ing out thousands of young women
trained for the playing of an active
part in the commercial world.
Ihe young woman of to-day, who
formerly had little or no income. is
no longer dependent upon the love
OF some young man she may be fortu-
nate enough to win. There was a time
when girl of the working classes was
threatened with poverty and was con-
fronted with grave perils until she
married. and often she would give
nerself to the first eligible man who
cnaneed to come her way.
Now she is well equipped with a
practical business education and is in
dependent She is able to support her
self and there is nothing to force her
into matrimony," l..

HATS MADE OF RICE STRAW.
A New Industry About to Be Estab-
lished by Japanese In the
Southern States.

According to Col. S. F. B. Morse, gem
eral traffic manager Of the Southern
Pacific railroad, the Japanese colony
at Port Lavaca will establish a plant
for the manufacture of mating and
hats from rice straw, says the New
Orleans Times-Democrat. The Japan
csc are the pioneer rice growers of the
world, and cultivate the staple on q
more scientific basis than the Ameri-
can farmer. In Japan every product
OF the rice crop is utilized to some pur-
pose, while in the United States the.
planter relies entirely upon the rice
proper for his home.
"The Japanese Of Port Lavaca," said
Col. Morse, .wili soon begin the manu-
facture Of Japanese mating and the
finest Of hats from rice straw, and 1t is
only question Of time till our own
rice planters in Texas and Louisiana
will take up this industry, thus making
the south the center Of supply for mat
ting and straw hats Of the finest tex
ture and manufacture. The best mat
tings in the world are made in Japan,
while the high grades Of the rice straw
hats are known the world over. There
are several kinds Of grass growing
along the gulf, SO the japanese tell me,
that can be utilized for making mat
ting Of q good grade. They tell me It
y identical with that used in Japan
for this purpose, and there is no reason
why this should not become paying
