Dr. Madison C. Peters, in his lectur at the Baptist Church of the Epiphany last night, epeaking of the modern im-| pediments to marriage said | “Of the decline of marriages there ean be no doubt. The fact has been| @orcoborated by full and trustworthy etatistics. There are to-day about) four millions of men in the United| @tates rast thirty years of axe who | gre not married, and the number of hem is constantly on the increasc./ ‘Why do not these young men marry’) ‘WMI {t become so in the future that @omparatively few men will marry? “Independent careers are becoming more and more impossible to the young men in our land; women, too, are filling positions which) men should occupy to make nomes; the salaries | of our young men even in good posi- tions are low—good salaries running from $12.00 to $25.00 a week. How can @ man support a wife on a preseat-day salary? Marriage Is Discouraged. “Marriage is being effectually discour- aged by the constantly and greatly in- creasing cost of living both in town and country, Parents without fortunes support thelr @mughters in luxury, and girls expect to be thus cared for after marriage. It cowta more to sustain such a girl than the average man can earn, and the time is coming when only the exceptionally fortunate man can matry. The Snordi- nate passion for dress is a terrific im- pediment to marriage. “The domestic life of this country is fm an appalling conditon. Many a man has given up all high ambition for | study, for self-denying service of his fellow-man, stifled the voice of his con- science when {t demanded sacrifice and Gevoted himself to the one object of gaining the wherewithal to keep sun- shine in his house by uniimited tndul- | gence of a faahlon-pampered woman's fanctes. “Many @ woman would be willing to @acrifice for the sake of becoming a man’s wife, but most men who do not marry on the pretext of econany are persons who would marry If they wome comfort, to.be increased as life went on. But no, they must start where their parents left off; they must & dash; they love their pleasure too mwuch to sacrifice any portion of it for domestic bliss.

E. Kroll, on the occasion of her fifth anntyersary tn that office. She did not object to Miss Kroll, bu | she Mell that it was unfair to teachers receiving small salaries to be asked to pay for a gift for a teacher recelving more. As a result of her protes: the | amount was reduced t $1, the gift, a!

In the arrest of Charles Bilsen, nineteen-year-old boy, who gave his dress as No, 134 West Thirty-sixth @reet, detectives at Poilce Headquar-_ ters have accomplished what they call | a “back draught pinch." Rescued from the vernacular, this means that they have run down a theft by beginning at the wrong end.
