Wedding fees have caaeed
something of a scandal at Cum-
berland, Md., or, if not the fees,
the division of them. It seems
that certain clergymen there have
been in the habit of paying hack*
men for every couple from across
the state line that may be brought
to them, and the result has been
the establishment of a regular sys-
tem of what amounted to little leas
than blackmail. The local minis-
terial association has taken the
matter up and every parson in the
place will soon be asked to sign a
promise to pay no tips to drivers
for bringing custom of this kind.

Resolved, that this lodge ten

richest blessings upon the widow
