WARM WEATHER HINTs.-Writes an
eminent physician in the Scientific
Monthly:
II am convinced that three hearty
meals are too many in warm weather.
AbsOrbents cannot care for so much
carbon, and is not assimilated, remain
ing an Initiative foreign substance until
rejected. Breakfast and dinner alone
should be complete in this respect :;
luncheon and supper should be very
light. 1t is essentially necessary to
change clothing, but the difference
should be in external garments only,
at least in material. Neither in warm
nor cold weather ought undercIothing
to be other than wooden, and it is sup
piled at present of such fneness of
texture as to be soft as silk. With
skin we'll protected in this way,
outer garments may conform to our
sudden changes with considerable i'm
putiny.
JOHN SIPPLE, father of DIR. G. W.
Sipple, who came TO this town in Jan
uary from Harrington with his son,
died at their residence on South street
on Wednesday last aged 70. His re-
mains were taken to Dover on Friday
and inferred in Silver Lake Cemetery.
The deceased, from his feeble health.
advanced years and short residence
was not known to many of our people,
but persons living elsewhere who have
known him for long while speak of
him as a man of true and sterling Quail
tiles. He held the office of local
preacher for a number of years but has
not been able for some time to minis
ter from the pulpit though he did lead
class acceptably. He was born and
grew up near Willow Grove, and has
been resident of several towns in the
county, some fifteen years ago residing
in Leipsic, where he held the office of
collector. His wife, who is also ad.
vanced in years, survives him.
IN the publication in the Philadel-
phia papers a month ago of the death
of Elizabeth Mason by an overdose of
opium at the age of 79 years, it seemed
to be difficult TO fix her identity
here, Smyrna having been named in
those papers as her former home. 1t
was certainly known that she was not
the widow of Gen" Geo. Findlav
Mason, as some of the Peninsula pa.
pers had it. A local correspondent
who writes this week to set the matter
right, says she had rot lived in
Smyrna for 35 years. Her right name
was Elizabeth Duling having married
a shoemaker here of that name, but he
was imprOvident and they did not live
together long. She preferred the name
of her first husband by which she was
generally known. Our correspondent
says ;-"she was the daughter of
"Auntie Crockett and lived with the
RaymOnds and afterwards Mrs. Mar.
tha A. Cummins, and was the neice of
the widow of Isaac Shorts.
THE Excelsior Band came out last
evening about 8 o'clock to serenade
the new bride and groom, Mr.. and
Mrs. JOS. BurchPnal. The latter were
at the time in the house of their ad.
joining neighbor, Mr.. John P. Collins.
The groom acknowledged the compli
ment, told them ne enjoyed the music,
but couldn't make them a speech. He
said, however, that his friend, Mr.. Col
lins, would take them to the ice cream
saloon, which he did, directing them
to Mr.. Stevensoh's. 1t was an even.
ing when music seemed to be in the
air, the temperature having been
greatly improved by the shower before
nightfall. The Independent Cornet
Band, without being actuated seem
ingly by the fact of bride and groom
in town, marched up Commerce street
following the clear, resonant notes OF
JOhnson's E fat, and played several
tunes, the other band having the ben
edt of complimentary serenade near
by while enjoying their ice cream.
The concert at the Opera House on
Friday evening was one of the most
delightful in the way of first class mu-
sic that we have bad this season. and
deserved fuller house than there was.
True, it was appreeiatiVe, for there was
something to appreciate, but it was not
as remunerative as desired, a result
possibly growing out of the fact that
there have been so many entertain
ments lately. The pieces were with.
out exception, well executed, equal to
anything our local talent have rendered
for year, and Mr.. qordon's violin
numbers were of high order and en-.
Joyed as such, as are all his musical
performances. Miss Thomas of Balti-

evening, so to speak, and her vocaliza.

the pleasure of hearing her again, with
the noticeable advancement since her
former visit. -
