NINE WEDDINGS IN SEVEN
HOURS HURRY MINISTER
Marrying Parson Kept on the
lump in Response to Cupid

TRENTON, N. J., July 4.-The mar
rying record was smashed by the Rev.
Charles H. Elder, pastor of the Trinity
NJ. E. church, when he united nine
couples in seven hours. At 8 o'clock
Mr.. Elder went in an auto to Mercers-
vile, five miles away, and married Miss
Annie Jones to George Young. The
clergyman barely had time to take one
kiss from the bride before he hurried
back to the auto and returned swiftly
to Trenton. Here he welded another
couple at $3.50.
The marrying parson" had a rest
until 5 o'clock and began to fear he
was growing unpopular. But at that
hour a third couple appeared, more or
less blushing, and thenceforth until 10
o'clock he was engaged in his favorite
speciality In fact, couples entering
and leaving the house were humping
into one another most of the evening.
The multiple marrying would not
have been so difficult task had Mr..
Elder been able to make his study the
place of every hitching. But certain
girls wanted to be married in their
homes and he had to hustle to fill all
his engagements.
Two Weddings took place in the
home of William G. Wooley. The first
was that of Lillian M. Wright and VIII
liam c. Wooley. Next Miss Marietta
Wooley and Samuel T. A. Wright, re-
spectively sister of the first bridegroom
and brother of the first bride, were
married after being bridesmaid and
best man. Mr.. and Mrs. Wooley were
matron of honor and best man at we'd
ding No. 2.
Wright was travelling in India when
he received a letter from his sister
telling him of her engagement to
Wooley. She also told her brother
what a nice sister her sweetheart had.
Wright started a correspondence with
Miss Wooley. When he got home he
wooed her and the bond between the
families was made double.

over his victory in the Republican pri-
maries in New York county yesterday
and at the same time said he was to
take a hand in drafting Republican state
platform.
Naturally am gratified at the re-
suit" he said. 1T was no less than
expected
He said that James B. Reynolds was
coming from New York later in the day
to go oyer with him the labor planks
in the platform.
Colonel Roosevelt was asked about re-
cent reports that he might accept the
state craftsmanship and. that an effort
might be made to force the nomination
for governor upon him. He replied that
there was no possibility of such a thing.
Colonel Roosevelt feels that he has too
much work outside of New York state
to assume the responsibility.
The ex-president 2eels that the question
OF the Temporary chairman is one which
can be best settled when the time comes.
Colonel Roosevelt refused to make any
comment on the statement issued yes
terday by James Barnes. Jr., in which
Mr.. Barnes said that Colonel Roosevelt
was a dangerous man.
