URGES KIN
WEDDING SERVICE
Dr. Anna Shaw 8ay« “To Death
Do Ua Part” la Only Hol
low Mockery.
Philadelphia.—“The marriage service
usually used has outlived Its usefulness
and should be relegated to oblivion.”
This In a nutshell Is the view of Dr.
Anna Shaw, president of the National
Woman Suffrage association, as ex
pressed In an Interview. She said:
"Tile marriage service, for one thing.
Is a poll parrot affair. The method as
used In reciting the pledge Is rldlcu
Ions, to say the least. There Is no
solemnity, dignity or character to that
kind of a marriage.
“I have been accused of making light
of the nuptial ceremony because 1 re
DB. ANNA HOWABD SHAW.
rose to follow this fashion. To me
marriage Is too sacred an institution to
permit any allotted promise;
“I have always believed In making
the ceremony fit the occasion. In oth
er words, 1 have a different service for
each marriage; Long ceremonies are
boresome Therefore 1 try to make
mine as short as possible
“As for the word ‘obey,’ I had only
one girl who wanted to make each a
crazy promise. In fact, she Insisted on
It. There was only one thing for me
to do. 1 refused to marry her. She
had to take the bridegroom to another
minister.
“No woman obeys her husband No
man with common sense asks his wife
to obey him. In fact. It Is a greater
disgrace to expect than to give such a
thing. No man would respect another
man for demanding lb Therefore I
think it Is positively wicked to use
thia word In the marriage contract
It Is spiritually and morally wrong to
encourage a woman to make a prom
ise she knows In her heart she will
not keep. She becomes a fool and a
perjurer at the same time.
“1 have been criticised for cutting
out till death do us part’ It has been
said that 1 advocated trial marriage.
But how do I or any other minister
know whether the couple will be flying
to the divorce court In a year or two!
We cannot look Into the future.
“Why. then, should we try to force
ourselves to believe that they will live
happy ever after, when the divorce
records, showing the large percentage
of separations, stare us In the facet
In such cases they may be sincere
enough at the time—most of them are,
for that matter—but the love and affec
tion die out with time. To them the
saying of till death do us part* Is only
a mockery."
DYNAMITE KILLS A COW.
No. She Wasn’t Blown Up— Bosey Ate
the Explosive.
Middletown. N. V. — Eating several
■ticks of dynamite did not agree with
a cow on the farm of George Kilpat
rick at Kerr’s Creek In Delaware coun
ty, and the animal Is dead. Several
other cows which tasted of the explo
sive were only slightly affected.
The dynamite bad been placed In
sections of the pasture for use In blow
ing out boles for telephone poles.
While the cow’s owner thinks the
company which placed the dynamite In
the pasture should pay for the animal,
the company contends death was not
due directly to the explosive.

Married the Day They Met.
Horace Greeley and Mary Young
Cheney were married the first day they

when he appeared before her, having
proposed and been accepted by letter,
