at some point between here and Rich

persons from Richmond and other
points in Virginia.
ut seems they don't care to give
their names this year" Mrs. Gill said
last night. Before, I had no trouble
in getting a list OF those who mar
ried. Until this trip. 1 had brought
nearly 200 couples to Washington to
wed. But I suppose there were many
each time who kept the matter a Sc
cret, just as they evidently are doing
this time"
Mrs. Gill, who is superintendent of the
Richmond Male Orphan Asylum, could
name but one couple who said they were
to get married. and their names did not
appear on the records yesterday.
The Cupid special has made biennial
trips to Washington for twenty years,
according to Mrs. Gill. 'I will tell you
how l came to start the Cupid Special"
II was all an accident. I decided to
run an excursion to the Capital to raise
funds for the institution of which 1
am superintendent, and when came
back. some enterprfsing reporter learned
that there were eleven couples married
while we were away. He dubbed the train
the Cupid Special and when I started
to get UP another excursion found
