Caracas, Dec. 9.--All the British

high officials are Englishmen.

more numerous. They are found at
the head of important commercial
houses and banking institutions. The
railroad from Caracas to Valencia is
a German concern. The census OF
1894 places the number of Germans in
Venezuela at 962.

there were married at the home of the
brides parents, Mr.. and Mrs. L. Nj.
Baer, Mr.. George Sprecher and Miss
Grace Baer. The wedding ceremony

officiating, in the presence of a few i'm
mediate relatives only. The happy
couple left on the early morning train
for brief honeymoon season to be
spent in Hot Springs, South Dakota
The date and hour of the wedding
was kept a close secret and thus the
friends of this popular couple were pre-
vented from that out pouring of rice
and music which had been 80 studious-
ly planned. 1t is said that even the
prospective best man was not informed
of the time of the ceremony and the
boys were completely fooled.

having secured for his help-mate
