"a MISFIT MARRIAGE.'-Afte two
weeks of the serious drama the Columbia
Theater will offer to its patrons on Mon
day evening next an entertainment in a
lighter vein, and judging from the previous
efforts of the author. whose work will be
seen there on Monday evening, October 3,
a highly enjoyable performance may be an
tcpated. The play to be presented on that
evening will be a new farce called "A Mis-
fit Marriage written by Mr.. H. A. Du
Souchet, who has furnished to the stage
during the past two seasons those admira-
BILE comic constructions My Fried From
India and 1.-The Man From Mexico" A
matrimonial union, in which the wrong
bride is joined to an expectant husband, Is
the principal incident in the new piece.
Additional complications are furnished by
the ludkcrouS mistakes of two Of the chief
personages, who, unaware of each others
identity, have engaged in a personal con-
flict and the action is further enlivened by
some absurdities incident to the great
Madr Gras festival in New Orleans. Mr..
Du Souchets success in farce writing has
been signal. His pieces are clean, bright
and original, and many of the situations in
them irresistibly funny. Judging from re-
hearsals his latest work is fully as enter
tanning as any which have preceded it.
The company which Messrs. Smyth & Rice
have engaged to present the piece, contains
Max Figman, Clayton White. Henry Her
man Malcolm Bradley, Thomas Meguar,
Frank NJ Kendrick, Ina Hammer, Katha-
rine Mulkins. Millie James, Lucille Num-
Anne Warrington. The prestige now at
taching to the name of Mr.. Du Souchet
who is an American author. is pretty GER
tain to insure a notable gathering for
first night to one of his plays.

Hon. Richard Il Edelen, q Esli-knowH
llawyer Of this county died at the residence o.
his aster-in.law, Miss Lizzie Hamilton, near
La Plata, Monday evening at O'Clock AFTER q
lingering illness, in the eth year Of bis age
The deceased was DESCENDANT OF one Of the
frst families Of the county. Amer receiving
a collegiate education be taught public school
and read law, coming 10 the bar after two
years study where be at once became promi-
nent as a strong and foreible advocate He
filed the position Of States Attorney for two
terms, afterwurd retiring altogether from
politics until 1875, when be was nominated
for the Legislature, but was defeated Ia
1878, be was a prominent candidate for Con.
gress, but was defeited the nomination going
to the late General A. G Chapman, deceased.
The contest between him and General Chap
man Was very spirited aud bitter, opening a
breach in the Democratic party in this county
which only healed with the death Of General
Chapman. In 1885 be was candidate for
the State Senate and was elected, filling the
position with great distinction. He took the
lead on many Of the most important questions
that came up before the sessions Of 1856 and
1888, winning anne in defeating the effort for
a new constitution. Upon the expiration Of
Ez-Judge stones term IN 1890, as Chief Judge
Of the Judicial Circuit, be was rendered BY
Governor Jackson the position, but owing to
his then failing health declined ii. Since be
has lived retired life, struggling against
disease Of the stomach which was sapping bis
life. He wife was Miss Mollie Hamilton, who
survives him. They never had any children
In religion be was a devout Catholic.
His funeral which was very largely attend
ed, took place from the home OF the Misses
Hamilton, Prospect Hill, at 8 80 O'Clock
Wednesday morning ana he was buried in
s.. Thomas Church cemetery at II O'Clock.

Watch tender things tina, might he saved By

parts Of the country.
II we are not greatly mistaken there Is
much tendency TO very active storms each
day from about the 10th to 18th Of May. II
we are right this tendency will be increased
this month BY a regular storm period, central
Gu the 10Th. Look for very warm weather
aud general depression Of the barometer, end
ing In heavv storms, during this period.
Another fall Of barometer, rise 10 tempera-
lure and general return to storm conditions
will be the order about 18th % 18th. Change
TO nigh barometer and cooler may rush In be-
bind this low area, but change to much
warmer With a marked fall Of the barometer,
ending in a series Of daily rain and thunder
storms, may be reasonably expected from the
goth to 24th Watch all vicious looking
storm clouds about Saturday, Sunday and
Monday, 2ist 70 23rd. II wind currents,
temperature and barometer do not change by
the 23rd, daily cycle Of rain and thunder
storms may be expected until such changes
do appear, even il they last up to and through
the reaetionary period central on the 9th to
goth. Very high barometer and change to
much cooler, with danger of heavy frost far
northward, are very probable when storm
conditions break up and the high baro.netric
area comes on from west and north.
We do not calculate that May this year will
bring an unusual number Of hard dangerous
storms. The last half Of June and the first
half Of July seem from our stand point Of
reckoning to premise more violent disturban
ess than May. We also believe that there
will be ample moisture to mature all early
crops over most parts Of our country. Many
low lands are likely TO have to much rain in
June. Hot winds and drOuth will effect The
regions vest and northwest, the last half Of
summer and into the autumn. We predict
that good seasonable rains will prevail over
all the south side OF our continent and well up
into the Central States, so thsi all who plant
promptly and work vigorously may hol. to
realize abundant early crops.
