Welded Mt High Noon.

In San Diego. Cal, at 10 o'clock on the
18th inst, Mr.. W. M. Grouse, son of Mrs.
Maggie Grouse of this place, and Miss Lena
Polhemus were married at the brides home.
The ceremony which was simple one.
there being no attendants, was performed by
Rev.Mr. Spaulding, of Colonoda, in the beau
,iful ritual of the Episcopal church.
The bride. unattended, passed down the
stairway between the festoons of smilax and
asparagus fern, which reached from balus-
trade to ceiling, curtaining 1t completely.
She was beautifully gowned in white silk
crepe de chine over white taffeta, with pearl
trimmings and rich Hontan lace and carried
a bouquet of lilies of the valley. The dec
orations of the rooms were in green and pink.
After the ceremony the bridal party partook
of wedding breakfast the table being set
with banquet top. The place cards which
bore dainty designs in apple blossoms paint
ed by the bride. held pictures of the bride
and groom.
The bride was one Of the founders of the
lilac rowing club, for some years has been a
teacher in the public schools and is now
president of the county board of education.
The groom is one of San Diego's substantial
business men.-San Diego Tribune.

December Weather.

The Climate and Crop Servics Of the
Weather Bureau for December shows that it
was a cold month, the mean temperature for
the entire territory being IL degrees below
normal, the record at Mt. ST. Mary's being
exactly that of the entire territory. The
highest temperature recorded was 70 at Eas-
ton on the 22d; the lowest "A, at Deer Park
on the 10Th.
December was also wet month, the rain
fall being 6 inches or $40 above normal for
entire territory and 2 5 inches at M. st. Ma
rvs, these figures being almost double thu
average rainfall for the month In estimat-
ing rainfall, unmeted snow is reduced by
actual measurement.
1t was great month for sleet, 1t being re
ported Ga from two TO six dates. Snow fell
on from one day at Annapolis to nine days
at Sunnyside. There was thunderstorm at
Frederick on The 5th, The two heavy sleet
storms that occurred on the 18th and 18th
were very destructive; at places in Allegany
county trees three feet in diameter were over
turned. Mr.. ]. j. Rutlege mining engineer
and geoIogist who witnessed the destruction
in the Allegany mountains writes: 81 have
seen paths cut by small tornadOes 10 the
West, but the destruction was not greater
than that caused in spots by these two
storms.

Publicity.

1t would be very proper thing for the
Board of Charities and Corrections OF this
county to prepare summary Of their re-
ceipts and expenditures for general pubica-
ton in the newspapers of the county. The
board publishes annually in two newspapers
an itemized statement of their financial trans
actions, which makes large and expensive
advertisement and gets into the hands of
comparatively few of the taxpayers. A COM
plete summary would occupy no more than
one.fourth the space and if given to the sew
eral papers published in the county would
not be a very considerable item of expense.
All of the taxpayers have a right 10 this in
formation and the two that publish the state
ment do not provide the medium essential
thereto.

The Danger Point Passed.

After period OF suspense that was prob.
ably warranted by the serious nature Of
things in South America, it now seems GER
tam that Il peacable settlement of the trouble
will be made. There can be little doub,
that but for the watchful care taken by this
country and the splendid tao, and courageous
attitude OF Minister Bowen, n very different
ending would have come and the European
powers would have installed themselves in
South America. 1t may meyer be proven,
yet it is strongly suspected that Germany
WAS not avcrse to the proposition Of war,
having for its final object permanent lodg-
meut in South America; her behavior from
the beginning bctokcned a purpose TO force
matters to an extreme that would render u
many has always found successful war II
pretext for territorial indemnity; it does her,
therefore, no injustice, in the light of her
history, to assume that had she succeeded in
fastening war upon Venezuela, the great
cost Of that war could not have been met by
the pay ment of money Indemnity and that
territory would have been demanded Our
government seeing such result promised,
could only prevent an open test Of the ab'l
ity Of this country t. uainta n the principle
Of the Monroe Doctrine, by preventing war
between Venezuela and the European pow
ers. This We believe has been accomplished
and thal ii has required both skill and cour
age to accomplish it must be believed, if the
idea that the allies desired that il might
come to the worst Is to be accepted.
The outcome of this imbroglio will dem
onslrate finally that the United States must
be taken into account whenever questions of
peace or war arise between Europe and any
people IN North or South America; that it is
our purpose to maintain both the spirit and
letter of the Monroe Doctrine and that
should diplomacy fail, our every resource OF
National strength will be taxed to uphold it,
While there has been most commendable
absence of lingo war talk, it is none the less
true that National sentiment was already
deepening and warming and should it yet
become necessary that plain words be spoken
by this government, the people will be found
ready to justify the administration in any
hands of policy which by stress OF circum-
stances it may even yet be forced to adopt,
Congress and the people lost their heads
in 1903; in this instance they have protiled
by that experience and it is the voice OF the
demagogue who hits it only to say Germany
and Spain are widely different propositions
to be considered by the United States. If at
any time conditions have been really serious
il was not only polite but patriotic TO alb
stain from acts or utterances calculated to
render il more difficult for the administration
to meet delicate md dangerous situation.
