Entered into eternal rest and peace st Pc.
pect Hill, Charles County, Md, on May End
1898, after proraeted III health, Hon RichAld
II Edelpn, in the 69th year fins aRs.
The loss Of good and distinguished man
by any community is ever sensihly felt and
deplored The sense Of such loss was felt
Throughout the length ard breadth Of bis
native county with pang Of deepest sorrow
when it was koown that the Hon. Richard Il.
Edeleu had suecumbed 10 the last enemy aud
bad closed his kindly eyes in death Gentle,
kind, generous, honorable and true--he was to
bis many and devoted friends the living en-
bodiment of all that is admirable, lovahle and
attractive. AS q gentleman, be vas cultured,
genial and refined as friend, be was sim
cere and sieadfast--As a ciuzen, be was be-
loved and honored as a christian, be was
ever humble and consistent in bis blameless
walk with God-in word, lie contained in
al eminent degree those exalted traits Of
character that constitute the honest man and
christian gentleman
When such man lays down the burden OF
life and goes from out our midst, public sor
rev mingles with private grief and the best
expr, ssion of that sorrsw is the universal
sentiment Of profound regret which to-day
6nds a place in the saddened hearts and afFec-
tons Of the people Of his native county.
May the sod of earth rest gently on the
bosom of the beloved and honoied dead and
may the Angel Of Mercy, brooding over the
troubled and bitter waters Of bereavement,
breathe comfort and that peace, which The
world cannot give or take away, into the
many loving and grief-stricken hearts which
in anguish lament the absence of husband,
brother and friend
behold door was opened in Heaven and
The voice which heard was Come up hither."

DYSON-Died of Cancer Of bone, on Mon
day, May 30, 1898, Mary Helen Dyson be-
loved daughter of W W, and Catherine
Dyson, age years, 3 mo 30 da. She was a
sweet and obedient daughter, fond and low
ing sister and leaves FIVE brothers and two
sisters to mourn her loss. But what sweet
consolation to the griefstricken heart to
know that Helen now adorns Gods temple
as mirror of his great glo.y, Weep not
dear father, mother, brothers and sisters, hut
remember that Time at last makes all things
even and while it may never obliterste the
recollection of this keen agony, it can AT
least remove the sharpness Of the sting.
Little Helen was our darling,
The pride Of all our hearts at home,
But an Angel came and whispered,
Little Helen, do come home.h

Pleasant Entertainment

The members of the La Plata Privats
School of which Miss Louise Cockerelle is the
teacher gave an unusually interesting enter
tainment in the Town Hall Wednesday night.
The attendance was large and everyone pres
ent seemed struck with the manner in which
the young actors and actresses performed
their respective parts, The programme as
whole was very interesting and everyone who
participated In the same appeared in appro-
PIRATE costumes. The following young ladies
performed very nicely on the piano: Misses
Maud and Emily Cox, NJ. A. Wilmer,
Katherine j. Ferguson, and Ola Wade
Mss Eta Roberts who also took part in the
entertainment played very pretty accom-
painmept to the Piano on the violin. MISS
Ethel Cochrane also took very creditable
part in the exercises. The play,
Beauty and the Beast' was very in.
teresting and entertaining to the audience.
The principal feature of the evening, however,
was the sing, yankee Dewey" which was
sung ia patriotic tones by Master Jack Fer
gnsson. The programme was concluded with
the song, Star Spangled Banner which was
sung by the entire school, and as the sweet
words of patriotism were uttered each one
waved aloft the stars and stripes of our grand
old country. After conclusion Of the programme,
chairs were removed snd dancing was indul-
ged in for about an hour. Miss Cockerelle
certainly deserves great commendatiou for
making the entertainment such a success and
the excellent work of those whotook part in
the same reflects much credit upon her
