man and young woman appeared on
the lower floor Of the M. E. Church
South where the Epworth League was
holding services. When the services had
closed the couple approached Rev. O,
d. Bulls, pastor of the church, and told
him that they desired to embark upon
the Sea Of life as man and wife and re.
uussted him to tie the nuptial knot. The
couple seemed to be shy and desired to
be married as quietly as possible and
without any unnecessary witnesses being
present. Mr.. Bulls told the man and
woman that he had no time to go to the
parsonage with them, and suggested that
probably but few people we're 10 the au-
ditorium of the church at the time, and
he could marry them there. They fol-
lowed the minister up stairs, but upon
seeing several early corners in the church,
their nerve failed them. The anxious
couple then proposed that they return
to the room where the Epworth League
had met, supposing that by that time,
the room would have been deserted,
but few members still fingered and
they again Ainched at the thought OF
being married even before that CorporaPs
guard. Mr.. Bulls then told them that
10 about eight minutes he would be ex'
pec.ed in his pulpit, and if the young
nan and wonoan yronld aOreA he would
accompany them into the George X.
Hill Memorial Hall, now approaching
completion, and there perform the mar
riage ceremony. By this time the
curiosity of some persons had been
aroused, but before any number could
assemble in the new structure the couple
had been pronounced man and wife. A
young lady, however, upon realiEingwhat
had trsnspired, took seat at the piano
and dIscouusd the wedding march as
the newly-wedded pair sought the street.

the secretary to receive registered
certificates as a basis for circulation
as well as for government deposits is
highly commended and no doubt IS
expressed that this additional quality
given to the certificates will greatly
stimulate public demand New York

TO BRING OUT HOARDS
CorteIyOas Certificate Plan viii
Attract Money in Hiding.
FINANCIERS APPROVE IDEA
Believed Secretary's Scheme viii Re-
move Stringency and End Neces-
sity for Importation Of Gold.

New York, Nov. 1S.-The announce
ment Of the plan of President Roose-
welt and Secretary Cortelyou TO issue
$50 900 900 in Panama bonds and $780,
100000 In one-year treasury certiti-
Gates bearing per cent interest was
the chief topic of discussion in finan-
cial circles here. The short term GER
tificates attracted most discussion be-
cause of the comparative novelty Of
such an issue in this country.
1t is the general opinion that the
two measures, and especially the offer
of the certificates, will draw much
money from small boards. as was the
case with the popular loan of 1896. II
is believed that these certificates
would be acceptable at the Bank OF
France if it should be necessary to
obtain more gold there, according to
the plans which were under discussion
last week. Some bankers here be-
lieve, however, that the issue of the
certificates win make it unnecessary
to obtain more gold. If the premium
on currency is once broken it will
change conditions of foreign exchange
so that the profit on gold imports will
be reduced or wiped out. Some bank.
ers believe that this will not be an UNI
mixed evil. because we already have
drawn SO much gold from Europe.
They fear that this gold will be taken
back soon under the pressure of high
discount rates and the monetary
stringency at London, Paris and Der.
lin and they believe that the Amer.
lean market should cease to disturb
European markets when 1t is found
that further imports of gold are not
required to maintain our position.
