A Secret Marriage

A SECRET MARRIAGE.

LEGISLATOR AND NORMAL GIRL THE GUILTY PARTIES.

Four Legislative Marriages Since the Last Legislature Met—McCallum Law '98 the Latest.

Manistique, Mich., July 28.—Hon. George P. McCallum, of this city, deputy collector of infernal revenue for the eastern district of the upper peninsula and representative of the Delta district in the Michigan legislature, and Miss Agnes E. Forshar, a popular and accomplished young lady daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Forshar, of South Manistique, were married some time in March at the home of a friend of the groom in southern Ohio. The bride was then in attendance at the state normal at Ypsilanti.

The parents on both sides were not apprised of the marriage until Sunday last by the young people. No reason can be given for the secret marriage other than the fact that the bride was a student in the normal. Their acquaintance dates back several years.

It is learned that immediately after adjournment of the legislature the young couple took a short honeymoon trip to Niagara Falls.

The legislative session was productive in marriages. Carton, of Flint, led the procession, but he was all through with his troubles before the session actually opened. Kerr, of Houghton, was next. He made no secret of it, so the members had lots of fun with him and his wife. Their arrest and trial was one of the events of the session.

"Doc" Duff was foxy. He never said a word, but went away and got married. As he did not bring his wife to the capitol for a month or more there was no circus over his splicing. Harry Gustin, of Alpena, was foxier still. He waited until he got his fish bill off his hands and then took an indefinite leave, of absence. He didn't show up again. But Mac has taken the prize.

No one even dreamt that he was in love and when he was joshed about a nice fellow like himself being still unmarried, he never turned a hair.

"Dave" Heineman and "Gus" Weier are the only handsome bachelors left on the hooks.
