Wedding Bells.

Miss Ida Maltby were joined in
holy bonds of matrimony, Rev.
Father L. Pitoye officiating. The
large edifce was filed to its ut
most capacity with interested
witnesses of the ceremony 1t
made a beautiful sceue. The
chancel railing and other available
points were effectively decorated
with gracefully festooned Spanish
moss and bride roses with white
ribbons, while the light from more
than eight hundred wax candles,
burning in the mauy handsome
chandeliers, shed beautiful, soft
radiance over all.
AS the bridal party arrived at
the church, the strains OF Mendels-
sohn'S Wedding March peaIed
forth, the organ played by Mrs.
Annie S. Putegnat, being accom-
panied by several musicians of
the AnzaIdua band.
The bride entered on the arm OF
her father, II. A. Maltby. She
was most becomingly arrayed in a
rich white satin gown, trimmed
with satin applique and chiffon
yoke, a graceful veil of tulle
extending the full length of the
train. She carried a beautiful
bouquet of ferns and bride roses.
Miss Stella Yzuaga, as maid Of
honor, preceded the bridal pro-
cessiou. She was attired in
dainty white orgnndy with lace
and ribbons. The other attendants
were Miss SAME Kennedy with
Jasper MsIthy, the brides brother,
and Mss Olivia Yznaga with
Charles Conbe, a brother of the
groom. Miss Kennedy wore Il
handsome costume nf white net
over white satin, aud Miss Yznaga
wore pretty white orgnndy
gown.
The groom accompanied by his
best man, who was his brother,
DR.. j. K. Combe, met his fair
bride at the altar. While the
solemn and impressive ceremony
was being performed, the sweet
notes Of the angels Serenade"
we're played softly filling the
church with gentle melody. At its
conclusion, as the bridal pair and
witnesses went tu the sacristry To
sign the registry, the chimes in
the church tower rang out the
joyful announcement of their
union.
An infolm MA! reception was held
at the home of the brides father
on 18th, and lIevee streets, after
the wedding, at which only rela-
tives aud a few intimate friends
were present. The reception room
was handsomely adorned with
palms, pOt-plantS, aid roses, and
the happy pair stood in beautiful
bower under a true lovers knot of
white roses, while they received
congratulations.
Supper was served in the dining
room which was also very. taste
fully decorated. The table was very
effectively arranged, with ferns aud
roses and few pieces of handsome
Mexican drawn work to adoru 1t,
and white ribbons depending from
the chandelier were gracefully fast
ensd at the corners If the table.
The menu comprised cold turkey,
ham, aud potato salads, cheese,

"HARDrNED" CHILDREN.


Some people have an idea that chill
dren can be hardened to cold and
damp weather and thus be made to en-
dure seventies Of climate more than
they otherwise would do. At one time
the idea was quite prevalent. The prob
ability Is that by the hardening pro-
cess the physically weak were killed off,
while the strong survived. and thus the
conclusion was hastily jumped at, that
the strength Of the survivors was due
TO the hardships endured.
At least this appears probable from
statistics on the subject recently given
by a Carlsbad doctor before medical
society and quoted in The Literary Di-
gest. They relate to so children, OF
whom Is had been hardened during
their first year, Z later, and the rest
not at all. A distinction Is made be.
tween mild hardening" by daily cool
plunge or sponge baths, and severe
hardening" by cold shower-baths or
other cold-water treatments oftener
than once a day. Says the doctor
Great liability TO colds was shown
by 81 per cent Of the unhardened. 80
per cent Of the mildly and d2 per cent
of the severely hardened or severely
hardened young infants, 70 per cent
were very liable to colds. The effect

Incorporated at indianapolis, and II Is
expected Il viii spread all over the
Union. According to press repolNs us
object Is to direct It's efforts toward the
Improvement Of the soil and advance
ment Of scientific agriculture. 1t VIII
also encourage the building OF elevators
ana cold storage warehouses by tho
farmers In all localities whore necessary
to hold farm products for advantageous
prices. But the main purposes OF the
society are to encourage prohibition OF
aduteratlon OF food, to secure equitable
rates OF transportation, 90 encourage
the Improvement Of highways and the
irrigation Of land and to encourage the
settlement OF disputes without recourse
TO law,
A society with such objects in view
deserves encouragement, provided u is
conducted In practical manner, Gem
orally people bind themselves together
for the purpose Of, through legislative or
other means get the best OF their fellow
men In the shape OF monopoIlstic prices.
But here Is an agricultural organization
that aims at the bettefment Of the soil

utilizing It, as well az honesty in the
preservation Of food for the market.

aims and purposes.

THE ARBITRATION QUESTION


President Roosevelt's declination to
act as arbitrator in the Venezuela trou-
Bile, Is said to be disappointing to Ger
many. but there are excellent reasons
why the questions involved should be
submitted 10 The Hague tribunal, in
stead of to commission appointed by
the President.
one Of these Is this that II the presi-
dental decision should be that Vene-
zuela must pay the claims, our govern
ment could not protest II the allies pro-
ceeded 10 collect them, II Ven-
ezuela were slow In paying.
They could then make war
upon the country in earnest, land
troops, take custom houses. levy trib-
utes, and hold territory as security. But
the trouble with this arrangement
would be that II might some time be
necessary for this country to force the
allies TO leave the country, since they
generally are not in hurry to eyacu-
ate territory in which they have OBJ
tained foothold on some pretext or
another. Witness the British occupa-
ton Of Egypt, or the French aggression
In Siam. II is much better not to en-
courage the occupation OF territory on
any pretext at all. TO avoid future COM
plications. and our government is en-
tirely free to act as shall seem best TO
Il. when the arbitration and the accom-
panylng responsibility are not accepted
by the President
Another reason is equally plain. Ven
ezuela is not the only American coun-
try in debt to Europe. According TO
figures given by the New York World,
the Argentine Republic has debt Of
more than s50O,0OO,OoO the annual in
terest charge being over s, per capita
Of her population, and the payment OF
it ahsords nearly 40 per cent Of its
total revenue. Brazils debt amounts to
siSVVVO,OOu, bearing interest at from 1
to per cent, the receipts Of her Gus
tom houses being pledged TO European
bondholders. chile's debt OF SllsoOo.OOO.
bearing interest at ~ to per cent, Is
similarly secured. Uruguay population
$4,000 owes over siOO,O0O,o0O. Hon
duras owes almost as much with pop
ulatlon Of about 100000. and has paid no
Interest thereon TO her creditors-Euro-
peans, most Of them-since 1872. Peru Is
wholly in pawn to her European credi-
tors. In 1880, having paid them no In
terest for fourteen years. she agreed
that she owed them SECS 100000, though
her total population Is but 100000.
II Is therefore quite probable that The
Venezuela episode is bnt a prologue to
series OF similar proceedings. and ii
sannot be desirable for this country to
place Itself in a position Of moral and
financial sponsor for the entire south.

THE SIMPLE TRUTH IS ENOUGH

We notice with pleasure an editorial
in the Salt Lake Tribune OF this date,
IN line with the remarks Of the Deserst

exaggeraling the condition of affairs IN
this city. We have no desire to pro-
mote the suppression OF facts IL is
expected that live public journal VIII

not necessary to give undue prominence
to AFFAIRS Of scandalous nature nor 70
magnify evils, the existence OF whlon
is sufficiently deplorable when only the
truth is told.
sensatlonalsm may have its attrac-
lions, and therefore us excuses from
newspaper standpoint But even tna'
need not be so highly eolored as to De
positively untrnthfuL Tor so imagina-
tive as 20 be absurd. In the long run
II VIII be found that facts Will be more
valued than fiction, and permanent
reputation for reliability win count Tor
more than temporary success through
yellow coloring.
There are evils In our city that need
the attention Of the peace oficers'
Crimes are committed that startle the
public. Vices flourish that ought to be
restrained. But we maintain that SAT-
Lake Is not TO be classed with those
"wide OPEN towns and centres OF cor
ruption that are notorious for their de-
praylty. as some writer's and agilators
try 10 make II nppear, We do not OBJ
ject to the telling Of the truth; we
merely protest against It's distortion
and exasgeration.
Prosecutions for crime and repressiye
measures against vice can be conduct
ed without those alarms and cutcries
which some Jealous people mistake for
efforts at suppression, but which mere
Nv agpraya.e and advertise them. Ihe
laws and ordinances now IN force
should be executed Due diligence IN
that direction should be required II
additional legislation is necessary IL
should be enacted. But the hue-and-
cry that is urged will serve to put this
city In false light before the world,
without materially improving condl-
lions at home. More work and less
talk Is the thing that is needful under
the circumstances.
