his own people alone, but the
people of all the world into his

Startling Announcement.

One afternoon, just as a Provi-
dence clergyman was about to
enter the pulpit to conduct the
service, couple from a nearby
town presented themselves,
making known their anxiety to
be married as quickly as possible.
Tie clergyman, whom the Bos-
ton Globe calls an extremely
methodical man, replied that he
could not oblige at that moment,
but that Immediately upon the
conclusion Of the service he
would take pleasure in making
them man and wife.
So after some Cemurring, the
couple seated themselves in the
rear of the church. When the
minister had finished his remarks
he cleared his throat and made
the following announcement
The parties who are to be
joined in matrimony will present

COMMONS APPROVES < THE AMERICAN LOAN
Expected to Receive Royal AsN,nt as
 Soon as House of Lords Acts.

London, Oct. 12, s55 D. m-A loan bill to confirm the action of the gov ernment in raising a loan, of $500, ,00O,- = 900 in the United States in conjunc- ton with France. passed through all stages of the house of commons this evening. It Is expected to. receive the royal assent as soon as the house of lords has formally passed 1t.
 Previous to the passage of the bill, Reginald McKenna, the chancellor of the exchequer, explained the reasons for the loan and It's terms and replied to criticisms as to the rate of inter est charged fore-the loan and the profit to be made by the underwrit- CTS. These criticisms were made by a few members of the house. A large majority of the members gave the bill their unqualified support and il was passed unanimously,
 It Is not believed hero that the pas sage of the loan bill will have an inn mediate effect on the rate of exvhange In fact, 1t Is believed the government will have to come into the market and sell exchange before any pronounced or perman1rit improvement can be at tatned. Today's news from New Yorh that the British financial commission was discussing the exchange problem and the establishment of a further credit had a slight hardening effect or the rate.
