THE MARRIAGE RECORD JUSTICE HAS JOINED 10,000 HEARTS IN MATRIMONY, -- p-- Unique Weddings--Has Married Couples in Balloons. in Lions' Dens, and on Top of a Loity Standpipe' Bloomington, IIL, Feb: ' 10.-- Justice W. I}. Hendryx this week married his five thousandth couple, and now holds the world's record, uniting more per- «ome than any other marrying officer, he he parson or justice. bishop or judge. His famous marriage parlors, known all over the United States, have been made more pretentious than ever, a magnificent mirror, which cost him 2500, being added last week, oc- copying one entire side of the apart ment known as Cupid's domain. This mirror, which has a heavy frame of gold, was manufactured especially for the marriage parlors, and, it is need- lesa to say, it is the delight of blush ing brides who wish to see that their hat is on straight, and also to secure a reflection of the entire martial par- ty just before the binding words are uttered. The marriage parlors are attracting more attention than ever hefore, and they are absolutely unlike anything else in existence. They are strictly in n class by themselves. Mettoes calcu- lated to promote matrimony adorn the walls, such as 'Perfect Union," "Wedded for Life," "Cupid's Head- quarters," and the like. Costly paint ings adorn the walls. An organ for the rendition of a wedding march oc- cupied one corner. There are fresh flowers every day to be presented to happy brides, There is a marriage certificate, which in its elaborate get- up adds dignity to the marriage tie, and is richly prized by every recipient. This document, like the marriage par- lors, is originel with the marrying justice, and always produces an in- atantaneous and effective hit with the matrimonially inclined. Cupids and hearts are numerous and | there is a facetious guarantee that every knot tied is indissoluble. The fama of Squire Hendryx extends the country over. He bas married couples from 'every state in the union. Not only has he the remarkable distinc Many DON'T STOP CHILD. May Be Budding Inventive Genius According to Educator. New York, Feb. 11.--In future, do not punish your child for demolishing lany beautiful and attractive toy you have presented to him. If you do, you will be nipping the sudding genius of your imaginative child before it starts. That is, according to Harold E. Gorst, who has come over from Loadon to tell bow modern education is at fault. He explained to the mem- bers of the Women's University Club, New York, yesterday afternoon. What makes the child break his toy, accor- ding to Mr. Gorst, is not the instinct to destroy but rather the craving to discover what is inside and further the desire of the young producer to util- ize its component parts by exerting ideas of his own. The whole trouble with education, tyoth on this side and in England, Mr. Gorst declared, is that the talents and virtues which nature has bestow- ed are interfered with by an artificial methods of stuffing the intellect with a lot of useless rules and dates which do nothing toward fitting the average pécsan for the place he is intended to ill. "Remembér this," admonished Mr. Gorst, "every. time: you drive a fact into a child's head you drive out an idea of his imagination." . Just when the child's thinking ma- chine is starting to work, he main- tained, the school steps in. and crams into his head a lot of arithmetic, his- tory, French and what not, stopping his natural development and inclina- tion to think for himself, aud jam- ming into his head a lot of stufi which he promptly forgets. Also it stops the working of a genius, as wit: ness the dearth of geniuses nowadays as compared with times When educa: tion had not been carried so far. To remedy matters, Mr. Gorst's idea is to send a child to a school of selec- tion at the age of seven. This is to Le a place where his individuality i fostered and his productive activity continued under proficient direction It is to eeplace the schoolhouse with a workshop' made up of many smaller worshaps, such as elemental labora: tories, gardens, kitchens, and if pos sible a model farm. There he said the task of discovering the individual bent of the child would be comparatively easy. It would be divided 'into de- 1 1s tion of marrying more couples than any othlier person, but he has officiat- ed at more unique weddings. He cently married a couple in a den performing lions brought here by carnival company. Twenty-five: tawny beasts held subjugation by their - keeper rounded the little wedding party ina | nerve-testing circle. Another couple wished to he married in a balloon, and the. squire assented, the knot beilg performed several hundred feet in the air. A third chose the lofty. stanapipe of the Bloomington water works here, and were made ove, while on a nar row platform . 250 feet 'above the earth. He has married numerous cou- ples on the stage of = theatres, while others were made one on rapidly mov- ing railway trains while running away from an irate parent. Squire Hendryx has brought to Moomington through 'his unique marriage parlors, and this city has become a Gretna Green that probably has no superior on earth. The justice opened his marriage parlors in 1871, when hd was first elected justice of the peace. He was a gallant soldier of the civil war, and was badly wounded. It was fivd years before he recovered. He is now 'marrying the children of cou- ples that he married twenty and thir- 16 of a in fame partments devoted to scholarship and scientific investigation, engineering and its related subjects, art and the decorative trades, agriculture and tinance, ARE SITTING UP. C.P.R. Has Secured Very Valuable Space. Seattle, Waeh x Feb. 11.--Representa tives of the big American Transcon- tinential railroads are beginning' to sit up and take notice of the almost scan- dalows manner. in which the Canadian Pacific railway is flirting with the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific exposition.
