Seldom was seen . larger, more
expectant and representative a
crowd than was assembled last
Wednesday, the sth. instant, in So.
Mary's Church, Bryantowu. the o.
casion being the marriage Of Miss
Adele Edelen, daughter Of Mr. and
Mrs. B. NJ. Edelen. 70 Mr.. Norbert
Bowling, Of Seattle. Washington.
A marriage scene il always inn
pressive. but this, 70 the writer,
was peculiarly so. from the fact that
its solemnization was In the church
near which he was born and reared
and in and around which are clus-
tered the sweetest and nost tender
memories OF youths happy hours.
Precisely at IL, A. n, the bride,
to the strains OF Lohengren's we'd
ding march, entered the church,
leaning on the arm Of her father,
and slowly marched up the broad
aisle. preceded by the ushers and
six bridesmaids, to the altar rail
where she was received by the r.
diant and expectant groom.
The bride was beautifully gowned
in white crepe-de-chine, elaborately
trimmed with pearls and wore q
tulle veil caught up with orange
blossoms and carried brides roses.
The bridesmaids were attired in
white organdie. with white satin
sashes and wore black velvet pic
ture hats.
1t required only q few short mo-
ments for the contracting couple 70
stand before the hymeneal rail and
hear pronounced those solemn and
sacred words that proclaimed them
man and wife.
The Rev. T. ]. Gardiner, 8. j., Of
White Marsh, Prince Georges, a
cousin OF the bride, performed the
ceremony. He reminded the wed
ded pair, in few apt and well cho-
sen remarks OF the new duties and
responsibilities the marriage tie i'm
poses, and urged them to bear and
forbear, each with the others short
comings. and be prepared, with
God s grace, to meet resignedly life's
troubles and trials that will loom
up. ever and anon, in time 8 path
way to eternity.
After the ceremony, a reception
was held at Sunny Side," the
brides home, at which over 100
guests were present. The house
was beautifully decorated. and light
ed with wax candles dimmed with
pink shades. A collation. was serv-
ed by Baltimore caterer.
The bridal presents were varied
and numerous, among them one hun
dred dollars from the brides pa
rents, twenty-five dollars from each
of her two nncles, DIR. Walbach Gar
diner and James deBarth Walbach,
and ten dollars from her cousin and
sister-in-law, Mrs. Bonnie Edelen,
TO say nothing of the innumerable
pieces OF iewelry, silver and china
ware displayed in a spacious room
for the guests inspection.
AT 1:3O, P. NJ, the bridal pair left,
amidst q shower OF rice, for WAL
dorf Station, where they boarded
the North-bound train for q short
trip to Washington and Baltimore,
after which they viii return 10 the
home of the brides parents prepar-
atory to their departure TO their flu
ture home in the far Northwest.
We will follow them there in imag-
ination, leave them, we trust, TO ex-
pand in that progressive country of
their adoption in peace, contentment
and prosperity; and, as the years
roll on, picture them in their tran
gull home-life surrounded with the
choicest blessings, spiritual and
temporal, that q kind and merciful
God can bestow upon them.

THE ADVOCATES OF LICENSE
ARE MAKING MANY CLAIMS.
LICENSE Is BETTER THAN
pEAK-EASI -

Is it better to sell more liquor than
less lNo intelligent man would risk his
reputation in stating that more liquor is
used under Local Option than under Ii
cenSe, else why do liquor men want Ii
cenSe! 1t is prepoSterouS,.
Is 1t better to have it sold publicly than
i'll some ont of the way place?
Is it better to have speak LIQUIDS than
"Speak-caSics z" Is it better to put it on
the street corners than in the alley?
Is it better to crowd the street corners
with loafcrs, swearing. splitting and OBJ
Structing the pavementS where ladies and
gentlemen pass, than to attract them
somewhere out of the way. if they will
have it?
The speak caSy" is WRONG and an
abomination. but the speak loud is
WORSE, because it does more of the
same work, and does it with the license
and under the protection of Christian
people.
"PROHlBITION DOES NOT PRO
HIBIT."
This may be SO in Il measure. but not
more so than the law against stealing.
gambling. bribery. etc. Who would want
to repeal these laws! Who would want
to grant license to permit these acknowl-
edged evils ! We could find plenty of
takers who would pay bonus. as some
doubtless are doing to-day.

~ LSEWHERE in dis ISSUE we
X publish Il letter written by Rev.
II Il. Allen Castleman to the Edi-
tor of the Cecil Wing" on the
workings of the Local Option Law in
Hartford county. This letter was in re-
Sponse to an inquiry from the Editor of
the Wing" who was anxious to lay be-
fore his readers Il statement of the prac-
teal workings of the law and his selec-
ton of Mr. Castleman was with the
view of getting these facts from an I'M
biased standpoint. This Reverend gen
tleman covers the ground in Il very thor
ough manner and reflects almost our own
identical views on this troublesome sub
ject. We realize that The Aegis" has
been under the fire of an unjust criticism
for the past few weeks by those, who by
their statements, display their ignorance
of the true situation. Our motives have
been questioned and doubtless Mr.. Cas-
tleman will be subjected to attacks of a
similar nature. This however, will not
have the slightest effect on our deter
mination as a conscientious public jour-
nal, to do what we deem is best for the
welfare of our fellow man. We have
seen too many drunkards made under the
present Local Option law to deter us
from doing what we can to promote the
cause of temperance. Local Option is
like perpetual motion. 1t works well in
theory, but when it comes down to the
actual fact, so far as our local com.
munity is concerned, it does not accom-
plish the intended good.-Belair Aegis,

sentative Of the people Of this District.
During this campaign. the bittcrcst
Democratic opponent of Mr.. Jackson.
has not dared to whisper aught against
him as Il man or IL citizen.
On the contrary. they eXtol his quail
ties. as a generous and charitable man.
and always speak kindly of him rs Il

They concedc he is very desirable
person to have in any community.
The only objection Democratic partiz-
ans urge against him is-that he has
money.
TO them this is serious O. objection.
and as ridiculous as it is novel.
And yet III the same breath that they
make it, they admit that they made
every effort in their power to secure
candidate with money. but COULD NOT
FIND THE MAN.
They begged, bcSought and almost be-
labored Ex-Governor Jackson to run
