STAMPS A SPUR TO CUPID.
Clergyman Gives Commercial Induce
ments With Every Knot Tied.


MORRISTOWN, n. j., Feb. 22.-To
induce the young people of his church
to marry, Rev. oliver G. Horseman
has resorted to the novel experiment
of giving trading stamps with his mar
riage ceremonies. The last wedding at
which Mr.. Horseman officiated was
that of William Paul Smith and Miss
Alice Boniface. Among the wedding
presents the bride found a book Of
trading stamps donated by the minister.
She was greatly surprised and after
the festivities asked for an explana
ton.
Mr. Horseman reminded her of
conversation which he had with her
and half dozen other young women
few weeks ago. At that time he had
made a remark that, although a large
number of the young people of mis-
church seemed to be keeping company,
there was not a great deal of marrying
going on. 1t was suggested that if
ne make some inducements there might
be more marriages. He said he would
consider the matter, and at last ne de-
cided on the trading stamps.

New York, March 15.-The body of
woman who had been dead several
hours. and a man unconscious and ap-
parently dying, were found in a cab
which was driven up to a Brooklyn po-
lice station on d gallon early today
The man, who was suffering from alcO-
holism and possibly from the effects Of
a drug, may recover. Both he and the
driver of the cab have been detained
by the police pending an investigation.
Although the condition of the man was
so serious that he could give the police
little information which would aid
them in their investigation. He said
that his name was Thomas De Egan,
and that he lives in Monroe street, one
of the better class residential sections
of Brooklyn. The dead woman, he said
was Miss Mary Savage. 80 years old.
Both De Egan and Miss Savage were
well dressed
A police surgeon, after cursory ex-
animation of Miss Savage's body, de-
cided that she probably succumbed TO

HULL ATTACKS LAWRENCE.
Makes Fight for His Political Twin,
Fred Price.


Fred Price.
Alleging that personal i'll feeling Of
a certain senator had been the cause of
a reduction in the salary Of the assist
ant statistician in the legislative appro-
priatiOn bill tsenste bill No. 143),
Speaker Hull took the floor yesterday
afternoon and succeeded in inserting an
amendment providing 81, 500 instead OF
$4,000 for the salary of the assistant
statistician and the contingent ex-
penses of the department.
Hull was bitter in his charges that
spite work had been used by member
Of the upper house against Fred W
Price. assistant to Statistician Charles
De Noisy. He insisted that he had no
personal feeling in the matter other
wise than a demand for fair play, and
that he would oppose reduction in the
salary of his bitterest enemy under the
same circum stances. He did not men
ton the fact, however, that Price is
his political twin i'm the Second precinct
of Salt Lake City.
Senator Lawrence is the man whom
Hull had in mind when he referred to
a difference between d senator and the
assistant statistician. it was Senator
Lawrence who moved that the senate
should not concur in the house amend
ment- His motion, however, did not
prevail. The amendment was concuTred
in and from the upper house the bill
went to the chief executive.
The interhouse squabble is the last
echo of the circumstances fight for
the state engineer. Fred Price was ac-
tive in working for the appointment of
Tanner, and SO persistent did his plea
for the Provo man become that Law
renee iutimated that a little silence on
the subject was i'm order. Price did not
take kindly TO the suggestion, and as
d result he and Lawrence had words
Lawrence, according to friends of
Price in the lower house, then and there
made the assertion that a cut was
about due in the direction Of the Office
of assistant state statistician. Before
a vote was taken yesterday afternoon
in the senate on the house amendment,
Senator Lawrence denied that he had
any personal feeling in the matter.
Speaker Hull and a number of reDre-
sentatives were present when the final
concurring vote was taken. After Law
rence's motion not to concur had lost,
Larsen made a motion to concur in the
house amendment. This carried, Law

APPROPRIATIONS
OVER REVENUES
Legislature Spends $254,444.27 More
Than Estimated Income of State.
NOW UP TO THE GOVERNOR
HE AND STATE BOARD OF EQUAL
IZATION MUST FIND WAY.

HREE days consideration OF the
appropriation bill in the legislature
added much to the value of the
measure, while making it less desir-
able 1t came INTO the senate calling
for about 100000 more than the
revenues of the state promise to make
good. The senate boosted it almost
$4,000 and sent 1t TO the house The
house took its turn ut cutting it
DOWN and returned il to the senate
with more than $1,000 added TO the
total.
The measure was then sent to con-
ference and reported back to the sen
ate. The senate sliced few thousands
off and referred II again to the house
where the few thousands so sliced were
stuck back in il.
we might as well concur" NUT
tered Senator Williams. IF we keep
Oh this way we shall be here all sum-
mer."
His view, supplemented by the un-
deniable fact that each consideration
fattened the deficiency, appeared to be
the view of majority of the senators
and the final amendments of the
house were concurred in. Bamberger
alone voted against the measure.
Up to the Governor.
As the bill went to the Governor he
has the alternative of chopping about
q quarter of q. million out of it or TAX
ing a chance on increased revenues to
meet the deficiency. it is understood
the governor. will stand for about $780,
600 deficiency, which still leaves lots of
reduction for him. AS finally passed
the measure calls for about $1,000
more than when it first passed the SEN
ate.
The state board of equalization will,
1T is hoped. raise assessments enough
to meet part of the deficiency.
The chief row between the houses
on the bill yesterday hinged on the
appropriation for that highly orna-
mental Office, the state bureau of sta
tistics. The house insisted on a lump
appropriation of 81, 500 for clerical and
contingent expenses of the office. The
senate cut this to 81 900 and divided it
equally between clerical hire and
contingent expenses. The house
jumped it back to the $500 lump and
the senate at length concurred.
Big Appropriation for Bounties.
The passage of the new bounty law
compelled the leaving of the bounty
appropriation at $4,000.
The appropriation Of $4,000 for cot
tages at the state prison was put back
in the bin and the increase of $4,000
in the Agricultural college appropria-
ton stuck, against some objection.
y number of miscellaneous claims
for small amounts were raised and
added to the bill and several other
small appropriations, found to be
duplicates, We're cut out.
As the bill stands il calls for ST Sc
261.27 which is 1854, 444.27 more than
the estimated revenues of the next two
years.
