| MARRYING PARSON'
buys HOME ON FEES
OF 4,5l7 WEDDINGS
Omaha Minister. Discussing
Cupids Wiles, Advises Pros
pective Bridegrooms.

Rev. Charles w. Savidge. Omaha
marrying parson." has received ap-
proximately $4,000 in wedding fees
in the 43 years he has been per-
forming marriage ceremonies, he
said yesterday.
He had just finished pronouncing
the knot-tying words for the 4,l57th
time.
Il suppose the fees given me will
average a little more than SO for
each marriage" he said. They're
offering the minister more than they
used to, you know. Thirty years
ago I was marrying couples for. 81
and So each. Nowadays, the BRIDE
groom seldom offers me less than
S. and fees of $40 are not at all
infrequent. Money Is more plenti-
full and they can afford to be more
generous"
Admonitions, to Bridegrooms.
Here are some admonitions Rev.
Savidge offers prospective bride
grooms in regard to fees to minis
ters:
"The fee should not be less than
S.. A $40 bill always will look even
better to the minister. He has plen-
ty of places to use the money. A
man ought not to be married more
than once in his life and he can af-
ford to be generous.
1T is bad form for the bridegroom
to turn to a minister and ask, How
much do I owe you?' or. What is
the charge
The bridegroom should have his
offering in his pocket and quietly
hand it to the minister"
Second Fee Smaller.
II believe the fee offered is usually
less in the case of second mar
riage, unless the man has greatly
increased his income since his first
marriage" Rev. Savidge declares.
Out of his collections for mar
riages and his salary as a minister
he did not save a cent until after
he was 81 years old. Rev. Savidge
says.
"All of my extra cash l contri-
buted to charities of various sorts,"l
he says. Then I came to the con-
clusion it was my duty to provide
for my old age. In the last Is years,
| have paid for home and made
part payment on a farm of five
acres south of. Omaha"

Men and Women Restoring

Alleging that they have been
treated with gross unfairness, "a
employees Of the county treasurer's
Office presented a petition to the
board of county commissioners yes
terday demanding that their pay be
adjusted to a decent living basis.
The signers of the petition are 10
girls and IA men whv are employed
in restoring the county treasurer's
records destroyed in the FIRE OF Sep
tember %, 1919.
The petition was headed by John
Connolly and was signed by every
clerk engaged in restoring these
records. Further action may be
taken unless the county commits
sioners meet the request.
The women were employed at a
salary of Sl00 a month and the
men at SIPS month. On Decem-
Der 81, 1919, the county commits
sioners passed a resolution to pay
by the day, the girls at the rate Of
$685. and the men at $3.50 day.
In January with its 81 days, this
made no great decrease in earnings
of the workers, but when they re-
ceived their pay for the last two
weeks of February, a storm of pro-
test went up. The girls pay ch6cks
