ON AN ETHICAL HONEYMOON"
SOCIAL SETTLEMENT WORKERS
OF NEW YORK Welded.
They Will Continue in Their Chosen
Profession, Endeavoring to Solve
the Problems Before Them.

Dr. and Mrs James II. Hamilton of
city are in Washington spending what
the newspapers of New York have chosen
to call an ethical honeymoon
Dr. and Mrs. Hamilton were married
last Saturday in New York. DIR. John
II. Elliott, a prominent social settlement
worker of New York, performed the cere-
mony. as it was not considered necessary
by the couple to have either an alder
man or a parson.
DR.. Hamilton met his bride. Miss Eta
BrodSki. while she was a social settle
ment worker. and for two years she has
been one OF his staff of assistants in
Rivington street. New York. Whether or
not the enga cement was a close or an
open secret Is not known. but DR.. Hamtl-
ton said last night he tried his best 70
keep 1t a very close one, and even the
wedding was kept secret to all but two
or three persons until after the honey
moon had begun.
DR.. Hamilton said last night that he
would talk only on general subjects. All
questions as to why he chose to be
"ethically' married were tabooed. In
the course Of the conversation with a
reporter for The Star he did, however
say that he and Miss Brodski and two
or three witnesses went to the home OF
LII JOulf Eillott, after DdNHHS ptO'
cured marriage license, and were mar
ried. DR.. Elliott is at the head Of the
Hudson Guild Settlement House in New
York. and an associate of Felix Adler
in the Society for Ethical Culture Prob.
ably because DR.. Elliott talked for a few
minutes of the duties OF marriage. as
viewed from an ethical standpoint, New
York has chosen to call the marriage al
ethical one.
DIR. Hamilton said that Mrs. Hamilton
would continue in the settlement work
and that together they were going tc
try to work out the big problems pre-
sented in following the profession they
have chosen. He Is looking forward Gag
erly to his return to the work at the
end of a short wedding trip.
Mrs. Hamilton Is favorite with the
workers at the Rivington Street Settle
ment House. She is about twenty-ont
years DID, has brown hair and a very
vfvacious smile. When she first appeared
at the settlement about two years ago
DR.. Hamilton took very deep interes
In the young woman and the interes
continued, and soon grew into a genuine
romance. Recently the man workers be
gan to suspect that there was something
besides professional interest In the doc
tors attitude toward Miss Brodsk ane
when 1t was announced. that the wedding
had taken place there were very few
of them who were surprised.
Miss Brodskis father. who lives ir
Brooklyn. is said TO be an atheist, teach
Ing his children only the religion o.
nature.

Owners for Clipping Horses In
Winter-Oficers Elected.

dress at the annual meeting of the Wash
ington Humane Society yesterday alter
noon in the Warder building. scored GER
tain members of the Capital city's social
set who have their horses clipped
throughout the winter season To give
them stylish appearance. He also "e-
cared that the society contemplates ask
ing legislation forbidding the clipping of
the animals except in summer
In the course of his address Mr.. Snow
also called attention to the fact that
many of the colored people OF the city
drive animals which are the most
wretched specimens of horsetiesh on this
side of the globe
In closing Mr. Snow submitted his an
nual report. which showed that during
the year the society was instrumental in
having 332 horses which were unfit for
service killed. He declared that many
colored men buy animal for about So
and after attaching it to rickety wagon
conduct a precarious transfer business.
When they are arrested they make the
plea that the Humane Society is trying to
rob them of an honest living.
The society prosecuted 645 cases during
the year and only II were acquitted, In
416 cases drivers worked lame horses
and in ia cases CALLED horses were driven
about the streets until the agents of the
society had the owners arrested. One
man, according to the report, Slashed
mule with razor and another was prose-
cuted for beating dog with club.
