BRIDE WON IN
FIRST DISPUTE
GROOM WANTED TO SAVE FIFTY
CENTS ON sERvicE-6RiDE
OBJECTED.

Fifty cents. the difference between
getting married at home and at the Of
| flee of Justice of Peace w. J. Berry
was the cause Of the first quarrel be-
tween Mrs. Mary ]. Savage and Henry
Adkins. But the woman won out-as
usual. But it took tears and the as
sistance of Justice Berry to induce the
groom to be married at home.
Yesterday afternoon the couple
came to Justice Berry's office and ask
ed his charge for ''marryln. Inc
Justice stated his rates, 81 at his once
! and $3.50 for performing the service
at the home. The bride Immediately
stated that he should come to the
home, as she had arranged for tne
wedding at the residence of Mrs. VII
liam Test 1908 Orchard street. she
had invited a number of her friends.
The groom interposed strenuous 3D.
iections, asserting they would be mar
ried at the Office while they were
there and save fifty cents. 1t was
economy at the start for true but MRS,
Savage thought they should wait until
after thew were married before the
economical process was established.
She insisted that the justice accom-
pany them to the Test home and tie
the knot there The groom said that
he was going to save that fifty cents
and therefore, they would be married
at the office. He declared 1t took him
a long time to earn half dollar ana
he was not going to spend 1t foolishiy.
The bride then began to cry (tne
feminine way of winning an argument
with the husband). But it looked as
if tears would be of no avail in this
case. Finally Justice Berry inquired
about the difficulty. When ne learn.
ed that his fifty cent extra charge Tor
coming to the home, was the cause,
he Immediately agreed to marry them
for 81. The groom then consented to
the home wedding and at $50 o'clock
the marriage was completed at the
Test home. The briue and groom
gained their points-Mr. Adkins say
ing his fifty cents and Mrs. Adkins &C.
curing her marriage at home.

COLLARD TELLS
OF TEMPERANCE
LECTURE TO WOMEN At Y. w. G.
A. YESTERDAY. AFTERNOON
PROVED INSTRUCTIVE. s

F. L. Collard, superintendent OF the
Business Mems Temperance associa-
ton spoke to women at the Y. w. G
A. yesterday afternoon, under the
auspices of the Christian Women's
Civic association. Mr.. Collard is a
numerical wonder, a statistical en-
cyclopaedia, a rapid fire talker, and
fully loaded with temperance ammunl-
ton to pump into his audiences. His
talk was based on his six years OF ex-
perience, and actual duty behind the
bar. He declared he had seen the in
side workings of the huge political ma
chine. had tested it's strength, and felt
it's mighty throbs going out to every
nook and corner of the country, and
had traced it's every move back to the
Saloons the source of all evil" !
In saloon business six years, he said
he came to enlighten humanity, through
his knowledge of the immense area the
liuuor traffic covers. He referred to
the terrible and hideous conditions OF
the under world. and OF the white slave
traffic which is worse than negro
slavery ever was. Mr.. Collard said in
part:
| "A man who is a saloon keeper, de-
terioates both morally and mentally.
He has no social or moral standing IN
the community, his tastes are lowered,
his animal nature is developed, and he
becomes a moral degenerate, hanger
on, like the man he serves across the
bar. 1t pulls man down to the level OF
his surroundings. =
"The good saloon is the bad saloon
for the reason that the good saloon has
an air of responsibility. The young
man enters to find himself amid gilt
ter of cut glass and mahogany, OF
music and flowers. He takes his first
drink, he comes again. The place is
respectable, rich men frequent the
place, and then he comes because he
I has acquired taste for the social
drink. He comes oftener and stays
later; but the place is 80 respectable
Then finally any old saloon will do
even the low dive. He loses his self
respect, and the poor saloon keeps
him, and sometimes he is saved by
their help and starts out right again
Would he have gone to the poor saloon
first? No. There was no glamor, sc
! the good saloon caught him, and the
poor saloon finished him. The wine
room is another evil in connection with
the saloon where women and girls are
| kept as PROGRESSES, and every mother
should know about Them and how they
are carried on.
"There is lack of organization and
of concentration in the temperance
forces; what has been accomplished
has been through the grace of God, but
we will win. The people must be
reached with the word of Jesus Christ
before the devil gets them. Be ar
evengelist to every one you meet on
! the street."

The taxicab had proceeded up

some unexplained reason the chauffeur
turned west on Rector street into
Church street, skirting the side and
rear of Trinity church yard. About
midway Of the old cemetery three men
sprang from the curb. One jumped on
the chauffeur's seat; the other two got
into the vehicle. The man on the seat
pressed revolver IN his overcOat
pocket against the side of the chauff-
eur Ginon Martini and commanded him
to drive swiftly on without making an
Outcry.
Inside the vehicle the two robbers
were belaboring the bank messengers
over the head Smith, one of the
messengers is 81 years old and he was
bleeding and almost unconscious when
the taxieab reached Park place, a few
blocks north. Wardell was badly
beaten about the head but was not so
seriously hurt.
At, Park place the highwaymen
jumped from the taxicab bearing tin
box which they had wrested from the
messengers and which contained the
currency In a flash they had sprung
into an automobile, which seemed
awaiting them and were soon lost in
he maze of traffic
Martini, the taxicab chauffeur contin-
ued to run his machine until he found
a policeman. Here he gave the alarm
and the two injured messengers were
taken to a police station,
