OBITUARY.

The following well-merited notice of the
late Mrs. Chambers q. Davis, whose death
was recently noticed in the MORNING APPEAL,
is from the New York Graphic of the 9th in
stant
Adrienne Webster Davis, the wife of
Chambers C. Davis, of Deadwood, Dakota,
died on the Sd instant in the Black Hills
Onr readers may remember some letters from
Deadwood City signed "Adrienne," which
were from the pen of this beautiful and
gifted lady. There were three Misses Web
ster, all accomplished and charming women
They we're well known in New York society
some eight or nine years since. Adrienne,
the eldest, was piquant, blonde lady of a
very peculiar and rare type of beauty. She
was highly educated, and was deserved
favorite wherever known. Accompanying an
invalid sister to Colorado, she married Cham
bers G. Davis, then in the Government en-
ploy at the Mint in Denver. He was subse-
quently employed in the Bonanza mines, and
of late was the chief mining expert and
assayer in Deadwcod City. Mrs. Davis's
letters to the Graphic were full of interesting
facts, were written in nervous English and
we're widely copied by the press of the coun-.
try Her death was due to local causes. She
was about thirty years of age and left no
children.

THE AMATEURS TONIGHT.

We once more, and for the last time,
because we won't have another chance, re-
mind our friends that the Carson Amateurs
will give an entertainment this "wednesday
evening at the Carson Theater, the per
Torrance commencing at 8 o'clock The pro
gramme embraces the Boston Dip, a mu-
steal interlude ,..and the Rough Diamond, ;"
The performers excuse us, ladies and gentle
men, if this is too strongly favored of the
theatrical shop-are young ladies and gentle
men residents of Carson, some of whom have
already appeared quite creditably as amateurs.
The interlude will consist of piano solo, a
violin and piano duet ("La Dame Blanche')
and the Highland fling. danced by young
lady of Carson. The entertainment will be
first class, the object is a good one, and the
Carson Theater ought to be filled tonight.
