The friends of j. W. Blythe say that
he is not in the city to discuss this
measure, at all, and that he cares
nothing about the anti-pass bill. But
is interested in the primary bill and
is understood that he hoped, while

opponents of the measure to in
re its defeat.
This and the political situation that
is bound to grow out of the present
legislative session were the things
that brought him here. He did not
hold what may be termed a formal con-
ference but his quarters were filled
with politicians and members of the
legislature all of the time. Definite
plans for the future may not have been
mapped out. but there is no doubt
about his having expressed himself

number of marriage ceremonies ever
performed by one man.
He was ordained to the gospel min
istry in June, 1869, and in 1877 he with
drew from the Hague Synod and or
ganized the Independent Evangelical
Lutheran Church. 1t was In Chicago
that his career as a tier of matrimonial
knots really began. 1t made no differ
ence to him who the persons were who
wished to get married, or what re-
ligious faith they professed. At his
home In Chicago he always had the
front room fitted up for emergency
marriages. There were mirrors for the
bride and everything was in readiness
for marriage on a moments notice.
AS the minister grew older his abIl-
tiles We're not impaired, but seemed to
grow with his popularity. Several
times, it is said, he was kept so busy
marrying people that he had not time
to prepare his Sunday sermons, but his
excuse was always we'll received by
his congregation.
He had no stipulated fee for per-
forming a marriage ceremony. II the
bridegroom happened to have much of
this worlds goods, the fee was large.
II the couple was poor, probably need
ing the fee more than the minister. tho
ceremony was always performed graf
Is. 1t was his chief aim to encourage
matrimony, he said, and the matter OF
few fees was nothing.
After he took to his bed from an M.
ness caused by overwork his greatest
regret was that he was unable to CON.
tinue his work. Hundreds Of couni..
came to him in the last three montb.
OF his life. but all were sorrowfuirv
turned away by his wife. On tho dsx
he died three couples came to be mar

When other children pass me BY,
Again thy face see.

That here no more remains,
Forget, tho early banished hence,
What memory retains?
Alas! and couldst thou look upon

Thy heart, compassionate, would plead
And, haply, not in vain,
As Angel Guardian, home to lead
The wanderer again.

whole floor. except a few inches by the
walls. The floor of the windows were

tastefully and luxuriously furnished.
