TIN FOIL HIS
WEDDING FEE

The Rev. Thilo Corr rector OF the
German Lutheran Church, Camden,
N. j., who received a piece of tin foil
IN an envelope handed him by bride
groom after he had married a couple
in that city yesterday, isn't the only
preacher to be served so mean a trick.
On one occasion In this city the Rev.
George l.. Wolfe, who has probably Of
iciated at more weddings than any
other clergyman in Wilmington, mar
ried a Philadelphia couple who left
him an envelope, which from feel be-
tokened a liberal fee. When Mr.. Wolfe
investigated, however, he found, much
to his chagrln, several sheets of tissue
paper neatly folded to represent pa
per money.
Unlike the Rev. Mr Corr, the Will
mington preacher soon dismissed the
matter from his thoughts, but there
after opened all envelopes in the pres
ence of couples. The Camden minis
ter took a different view. and invest-
gated the addresses given by the cou-
pie he married. they having given the
names Of Daniel J. McNichol, No. 416
MiclSle street. and Florence NJ Essex,
No. 1923 Mickle street, and found that
the parties were not known at either
address AS It is a violation of the
law to give wrong addresses. the Rev.
Mr.. Corr laid the facts before City
Clerk Brown, OF Camden.

OLYMPIA HAS
TROUBLE THIS TIME

Olympia and the United States Ma
rines' football team, are playing at
Front and Union streets. The navy
boys are one of the strongest and
hardest lighting aggregations that
ever rubbed shoe leather against a
pig skin. They have humbled their
opponents seven times this season,
without a man crossing their own
goal, and say that Captain Sam
Snitcher's team is due to follow the
trail OF the seven other unfortunates.
The local boys are not talking
much, but intend to go into the game
with the determination to win, and
the sailor boys will have to play more
than simple football TO beat them.
For the past week the Olympia team
has developed wonderful defense
and the line plunging of the back field
has astonished the spectators. The
team is in first class condition and
should play the game Of its life
, against Uncle Sans boys.
