THE PARS0N
PICKED Wife
FROM 1000

New York. May 1.-THE Rev. George
W. Brownback. who raised himself 70
farne as a scientific Investigator and his
home town from fourth -ciass 10 a
third-class postoffice by his advertise
ments for a wife. has conferred an honor
upon the state of New Jersey by selsctfng
a life partner.
She was Miss Blanche Decou. of No
1875 Walnut street. Newark. II has inst
been learned that she and the pastor
were married In Newark April 2s at the
South Baptist church
The Rev. William q. Fennell pertor,n.s
the ceremony ana his two daughters
witnessed II. The bride Is now in the
home OF the pastor in Reading. Pa.
The Rev. Mr.. Brownback hunted for
wife with all the care that Diosrne,
hunted for an honest man, and he found
IL nearly as hard a task He advertised
his wants In the spring OF 1902 Hs
needed a woman who was an sn9el In
the kitchen as we'll as on the street.
Most women are angels on the street
and devils In the kitchen" he announced
In the first week just 1000 "angels, an
piled. Five hundred OF them sent their
photographs. The dominic decided 70
investigate In person. His travels ex.
tended over the whole camp-meeting
season. He visited angels" IN Attjca-
H.. Montreal, Canada: Gloucester Point
Va; Kankakse and Kalamazoo.
The Rev. Mr.. Brownback came back
sad man. One hundred ard fifty young
women he had visited shook his faith
in angels Some of them wanted TO kiss
him on sight, some OF the young ones
were old, some OF the photograph must
have been mistakes and some OF tho
golden hair evidently would not stand the
test.
Can such duplicity exist?" thundered
the eloquent dominic az the close OF one
OF his sermons.
Some notorfety came to the minlster
and OF late tho Rev Mr. Brownback had
been carrying on his quest In a ouiet
way Now that he has won, some OF
the swains Ia Newark are wondering how
the one angel" in 100 got away from
them.
