The ceremony was performed at the

Wheeler, pastor OF the Taneytown
Lutheran Church. While the fact
that they were to be married has been
known to friends OF Mr.. Douglas and
Miss Reindoliar for sometime, the
date set for their marriage was kept
secret, and the wedding was a sur
prise to all but very few persons.
The couple had an engagement with
a number OF friends to take supper at
picnic for the Catholic Church In
the woods near Taneytown and Mr..
Douglas went 20 Taneytown osten-
sibly to keep this engagement. In

The Augusta (Georgia) Chronicle
of Monday last gives an interesting
account of banquet rendered by the
Augusta Press Association to William
Buehler Seabrook. The Chronicle
says editorially. Mr. Seabrook, who
has Just returned from tour Of
Europe on foot, was the city editor
of the Chronicle. His correspond
ence while abroad has been pro-
nounced by leading publishers among
the very best that has come out of
the Old World during the last ten
years. On his return to America. Mr..
Seabrook was offered and accepted a
position on the Atlanta Journal Mr..
Seabrook is affectionately regarded
by the newspaper men OF Augusta.
They recognize him not only as a man
of ability but a fine fellow. There Is
no better reporter He knows news,
knows how TO go after It and knows
how to handle it-gets II all, gives
the best and presents II accurately.
But there is another Seabrook, a big
hearted, wholesouled mana man
who would do no one an injury; who
would take advantage OF no man IN
the greatest or smallest thing. lie
fears nothing except wrong. and
would divide his last penny with the
humblest person IN Christendom
When he scoops" you, he is sorry

If you get In beat on him, he cIaps

He will walk OF the sidewalk to avoid

fight the biggest man in the city, and
fight him all the harder and the more
cheerfully II the big man was also
the town bully. He would deny him

TaxaiIon of Dendl, Weapons.

One OF the things that has perplex-
ed Congress at this extra session has
been the certain provision for revenue
siii1cient 10 meet the growing federal
expenditures. In public affairs, ex-
perience has demonstrated the ina
biltty TO retrench, and the ease with
which expenses are increased 1t
was this perpleXity that led to the
proposition for an income tax that
was not ineorporHPd into the Senate
bill, and of the corporation tax that
was Incorporated. Last week Con-
gresham Sisson, Of Mississippi, intro
duced revenue proposition OF merit
that might have prevailed had II been
advanced early In the season Much
can be said In its favor. II proposed
a tax on every deadly weapon and
every cartridge sold or manufactured
in this country. This is the practical
way OF securing the revenue and on
the theory that the consumer always
pays the tax the burden would be
widely distributed The schedule
calls for q specific tax OF 81 on pis-
tolls, dirk knives, sword canes, stilet-
tos, brass or metallic knuckles, and
similar weapons with the addition of
25 per cent ad valorem.
On cartridges of 22-caIber or UNI
der II proposes tax OF one-tenth of
a cent ON each cartridge, and on
cartridges over .22-caliber the rate
proposed is one-fifth of one cent each.
Weapons or cartridges sold to the fed
erl government or to the various state
governments for the militia are ex-
empted from the tax.
