The bride wore a dress ot cneap Drown serge and a neat black l-nt 1 J. 1 3 11 1 uab euiu juun.ou oue ami a preuy girlish face, and looked happy. The groom was a strapping, stalwart fellow, who was thoroughly comfortable in a halt-worn suit ot gray tweed. He and the bride smiled and blushed when asked if they would take each other for husband and wife. This bridegroom was more generous than the other and produced four 6ilver dollars, which he handed over to the judge with a broad smile, as if he considered the money well spent.

Then came the signing of the marriage certificate, the bride's father unblusbingly announcing the fact that he couldn't write his name, but that he would make his mark if that would do. Then came the bride's uncle, a big, hearty fellow in working clothes, burst in at the door, gave his niece hearty hug and kiss, and all went away rejoicing. "How do you account for it, judge?" asked a reporter who had been sitting quietly in a corner throughout the two ceremonies. "Account for what?" asked the judge. "Why, for the fact of people coming to a place like this to be married.

How do you account for it?" "I have thought of it many times," said the judge, "and I can only account for it in this way There are a great many people who do not consider that a mairage ceremony performed by a clergvmanis binding. They prefer the sanction of the law. I think this way of looking at the thing amounts to al-rxost superstition with some per sons. They consider that the law is more binding than gospei, although a great many persons who come here to De married belong to various churcnes. There is another reason, and that is econ omy.

A marriage here ie certainly a great economy of time and mone7. There is no body invited, and those who wear wed ding garments are the exceptions to the rule. That bride was the first one sho ever dragged a white satin dress into this place. Peculiar, wasn it I sup pose they got the dress thinking to have the wedding at home, and then changed their minds. The two weddings you saw were happy ones indeed.

"You should have been here one day when I was about to send a fellow to jail for having betrayed the girl whom he had promised to marry. He was very sullen and morose a terrible fellow in fact, with an overhanging brow, a heavy unkempt beard, and a general expression not unlike that of a bull-dog. He stood and scowled when I sentenced him, and wnen i naa cmsned ne turrea to me quickly and said: 'Judge, I can marry the girl can't saidl. "'And then I needn't go to jail, "No," saidl. 'Very eaid he.

"So we went out for a license and for the girl, poor soul, who came in breathless and happy at being thus summoned to have her woman's honor restored to her, and I married them. Then the bridegroom turned to the bride: 'Go to- said he, 'I won't live with The last I saw of the pair they were walking way from here. Whether they lived to-ether cr not I don't know.

"Yee, I am Mary McCormick. Who am Well, I am master workman of assembly 7707 and president of the organization to be known as "Our Girls' Co-operative Clothing Factory." We have been granted a state charter. There are 1,000 shares valued at each, and nearly all subscribed for, and we have 60,000 Knights of. Labor to back us. If we fail we are only $10 out; but we don't intend to fail.

We are not that sort of women. Our object? To give tailor-esses the means of earning a decant living. Just have a chair and I'll give you a few bits of information that may interest your readers. Some little time ago the Knights of Labor advised us to organize. We were then working from 7 till 7, the stoutest and strongest of us earning no receiving an average of 88 a week, and the lees expeditious, though equally capable, getting $3.50.

Things were getting worse rather than better; our condition could not be more miserable, and willing to pin hope to any tangible fabric or plan, we acted on the suggestion of the Knights of Labor and entered their circle. When our movement became known the fires cf our purgatory began to blaze, and they have tcorched and singed us ever since. We were called "dynamiters," "Anarchists," "snakes-in-the-grass," and kindred pet names by the non-union girls. Our movements were questioned, our motives suspected, and in all the indignities offered, our tormentera were sustained by the contractors for whom we worked. "You see we have already twenty-five machines; the room will be supplied with steam power, and if there" is any money in co-operative work we mean to have it.

The only difference between this factory and the ones we have been slaving and starving at ever since we began the business is this: We will negotiate directly with the wholesale houses instead of through middlemen." Miss Mary McCormick is a short, sturdy, little woman of 25, wiharuddy, healthful color in her cheeks, and a dimple, too. A lawyer in New London is credited in the Hartford (Conn.) Times with this hrillin out- burst "When this slander, gentlemen of the jury, reaches the ear of the strong arm of the law, it will awav everv obsta le and with its lips declare, No, sir; no, sir-ee, sir."

Rook, Leoti. IN COURT. Many People Think the Ceremwny is not 15 ina in lie ii Performediby a Minister Two Queer Weddings. Denver Tribune-Republican. They came to a Denver magistrate's court to be married.

It was a queer place for a bridal. The windows and floor had never been washed: the etove was rusty; the stiff backed seats had never been painted there was a elimy ooze of water trickling down one side of the wall, and the odor of Chinese soap suds from the other side of the parti tion was plainly evident. Everything was dingy and grimy. The dirt was of the kind that had been long ground in, and ground in again, until there was not a semblance of cleanliness in the place. Men had spit tobacco iuice on the floor or years together, and the man who swept out the place had swept away the filth with a dry broom until the floor was dirty in streaks which time had failed to wear away.

It was an interior the expression of which reminded one of crime, but never of merrv marriage-bells. The room was perhaps the most absolutely cheerless place in the whole city. The ludge sat cooped in his little throne in the corner, and the place was as quiet as a grave, save for the swish-swaeh of the soapsuds in the adjoining laundry. It was late in the afternoon, and there was little doing criminal circles. Presently two carriages drove up, and there entered a party consisting of six persons, men and women, all of whom looked straight ahead of them, nor seemed at all unfavorably impressed with the dingy fur-roundinge.

First came the mother and father of the bride; people with honest faces, wearing queer, countrified clothes, to which a holiday air had been added by the addition a white vest to the man's toilet and a white bonnet to the woman's. After them came a younger brother and sister of the bride, a rosy-cheeked pair the boy twirling his thumbs and the girl looking straight down at the floor and after them the bashful bride and groom, the former positively arrayed in a cheap white satin, a veil, and imitation orange flowers. The white satin dress had a train which the girl allowed to drag on the grimy floor in recklees inconsideration of the consequences, and which the groom stepped on frequently between the door and the railing which separated the judge from the main apartment. The represe ntative of the law bfid them all ttand before him aEd imrrediate ly perforned the shortest of cert mot ies which by the watch took less than four minutes, and which was concluded with the incisive sentence: "Then in the eyes of the law I pronounce you man and wife." There were no kisses, no congratulations, no expressions of any kind. Those chiefly interested did not so much as smile.

The simple fact of the marriage was bard enough to have satisfied even old Gadgrind himself. "How much, judge?" asked the bridegroom, running his hand a loDg way down into his trousers pocket and looking anxious. "As you please," said the judge. The bridegroom's hand came slowly out of hie pocket and two silver dollars were deliberately produced and handed over the railing. Three xrinutes more were occupied in signing the marriage certificate, and tho thing was done.

"You can go now," said the judge. Thus dismissed the bridal party wend ed tbir way back to the carriages, end another party made its appearance These people were as jolly as the others had been solemn, but there was no white satin dress and there were no carriages; the people came in their working clothes, and all were laughing and jolly. The dreary atmosphere of the court room didn't depress them in the least There were only four of them this tima, and.
