Mr.. Thomas J. Foley, of New York
and Miss Adeline E. MOTIF, of Havre dc
Grace, were married at St. Patrick s
Catholic Church on Tuesday evening by
Father Fitzgerald. The bride was gown
ed in white radium silk and valenciennes
lace over white silk, with a veil caught
: with orange blossoms. She carried
bride roses and lilies of the valley. The
matron of honor was Mrs William
MOTIF, of Philadelphia, cousin of the
bride. Misses Mary and Clara Parks, of
Havre de Grace, were the flower girls.
The ushers were Messrs. Robert Gorsuch,
Albert Smith and John Welsh.
While it gives the -Egis pleasure to
chronicle the success of the telephone
lines, both OF which are rendering the
people of this county such excellent SER
vice, we think that they have hardly
grown to the point of requiring sub
scribers to call by number instead of
name. This necessitates lot of useless
work and serious delay and is of no posi-
BILE benefit to anyone. Of course it might
sound "big," but we can afford to be
modest for a while. The complaint of
all the subscribers against this regulation
of both companies is one that the mana
gers cannot afford to ignore, as their
business interests are frequently hampered
without the slightest good.
The musicale given under the direction
of Miss Bessye Cover in the Assembly
Rooms of the Masonic Temple, Bel Air,
on Friday evening, was a pronounced
success. The professional amusement
was furnished by Mr.. Charles Andrew
Mccain in his inimitable style He has
always been a favorite with Bel Air |
audiences, and his reception on Friday
night was none the less cordial. The home |
talent furnished very interesting part
of the programme. AS an elocutionist,
Miss Wright acquitted herself creditably,
Mrs. William H. West and Miss Annabel
Webb rendered choice solos, and excellent
numbers were given by |
Miss Cover, Miss Worthington and Miss
Martha Abel Hunter. The proceeds, a
neat sum, will 60 for the benefit of the
Bel Air M. P. Church.
County Clerk Forwood has made up
the statement of the court costs for the
fiscal year to May 1, 1906. The amount
is SO, 1873, which includes number of re.
moved cases, the Winder trial alone
being nearly 81, 900. The court costs in
1905, were $40, 400 55; 1904, $12,O93,-
40; 1903, SIS, 1923. The three years
last mentioned include the salary of the
states attorney which is 81 500 year.
The above statement shows that there
has been tendency in the county to
avoid litigation when compared with
former years. This is commendable and
will be thoroughly appreciated by our
taxpayers. AS the years go by, there is
more and more desire to settle differ
ences out of court; the least expensive
proceeding foreveryone. Wecannot fail,
however to commend the excellent adj
of all of our court affairs
and we believe that as years go by even
the present costs will be materially
lessened.
The Bel Air base ball season will open
under suspicious circumstances on Satur-
day afternoon. The game will be with
the strong Baltimore and Ohio team, one
Of the best in the state. For the occa-
sion, general manager Norris will run a
special train from Baltimore to bring up
the city rooters. Bel Air is expected to
turn out a good home crowd, and the at
tendance will probably tax the capacity
Of the grounds. The Bel Air boys are
little out of practise, but they have been
taking advantage OF the last few after
Moons to Timber up, and will doubtless
play we'll together. The line up of Bel
Air will be as follows: Bonthron, catch;
Calder, Miller, Russell, pitch; Reckord,
st base; James End base; Proctor. short
stop; Carroll, Sd base. The felders will
be selected from the following: Hanway,
James Carroll. Clinton
Reckord, Stier, Scotty, Harlan. Bowling
will be unable to pitch on account of an
injured arm, from street car accident
last fall in Baltimore city.
