SPOILED THE WEDDING PLANS.
An Indiana Nam who Had to Hurr,
to Washington.

to Washington.
Col o. H. Smith, superintendent Of the
new postoffiee building, claims to have in
one of his assistants the Ionesomest MAI
in Washington. He is George L. Maddy
of Decatur. Ind, who has just arrived in
Washington to take position under Col
oneI Smith.
Mr. Maddy's troubles were all brought
about by the suddenness of his appoint
ment conflicting with the arrangements he
had made to get married and for a while
it looked as if he would have to give up
his bride-to-b be or his appointment, but he
was fortunately able to keep both, though
he has not seen his bride since the knot
was tied.
The arrangements for the wedding had
been made for one day last week and about
two days before the time set, Mr.. Maddy
received a telegram from Colonel Smith
which read: Come to Washington by next
train; appointment secured; don't fail to
come"
1t was o'clock at night when Mr.. Maddy
received the telegram and the train for
Washington left at midnight and he was in
sore straits. If he left on the midnight
train, the wedding would have to be post
poned, and if he did not leave on that
train, he might not secure MS position and
that would be worse than having the we'd
ding set back, so he finally decided to have
a marriage ceremony performed and come
on to Washington the same night Going
to the home of Miss Josephine Couglelon,
his fancee, he explained the situation to
her and asked her to marry him at once
Marry tonight and not have the we'd
ding," exclaimed Miss Cougleton; THAT
would be too bad; think Of the disappoint-
ment of our friends!"
Cant help it," urged Mr.. Maddy. ''It is
either no wedding or no position, so she
finally relented and said she would marry
him right away
1t was nearly 10 o'clock then and it was
IL o'clock before the license could be Sc
cured and the Methodist minister sum-
moned to the brides residence where the
marriage was performed in the parlor with
only few friends present By the time
the ceremony was over and the congratu-
lations had been received, Mr.. Maddy had
to go to the train, and, hastily embracing
his wife, he started for Washington
He arrived in Washington In due time
and got his position. He has written his
bride to come to the National Capital al
once, but until she arrives Colonel Smith
says Mr.. Maddy will be ths "lonesomest'
man in Washington and Mr.. Maddy en-
dorses the colonel's statement

Lovers of the Shakespearean drama were
provided with fine production of THE
Winters Tale" last night at the National,
when the three-star combination of Louis
James, Kathryn Kidder and Charles B.
Hanford was seen in the final work of the
bard. The presentation was a sumptuous
one, and proved much in the nature of a
very big success. The management had
provided an elaborate equipment of seem
cry, costumes, and stage pictures, designed
after Edward Abbey's drawings, which
were published in one of the monthly mag
azines few years ago. and which are
popularly supposed to be correct likenesses
for use in the play. Miss Kidder scored
quite success in the double role Of Her
mione the Queen, and Perdita, the daugh-
ter. In the scene in which she faces her
accusers and defends her fair name. Miss
Kidder was especially effective. Mr.. Han
ford was cast in a much better role than
that given him in THE School for Scan
dal' and as a result this efficient actor
was literally applauded. Mr.. James vas
seen as the rascally Autofycus and gave
decidedly humorous performance. He
reminded his auditors of Mr.. Barnabee. of
Bostonian comic opera fame, and no one
would have been in the least surprised had
he broken out in melody and announced
himself as the Sheriff of Nottingham. Mr..
Hackett, Mr.. Kemper, Mr.. Johnstone, Mr.
Ellsier. Mr. Langdon. Miss Singer, and
Miss Barriscale were satisfactory in their
respective parts.
The performance, taken as a whole, has
never been surpassed by any Shakesperean
offering given in this city, and those who
enjoy presentations Of the classic drama
will find much to admire in the James
Kidder- Hanford production. 1.-The Win
ter's Tale will be repeated tonight at the

There is in treating of Creston c. Carke's
performance of Hamlet last night at the
Columbia Theatre very little necessity fof
long -drawn-out remark-even less than
there usually Is in reviewing Shakespe-
rean presentation. All the clever and
scholarly things that can be said regard
ing the Bard OF Avon have been said, and
it only remains for the writer to state
whether each new aspirant is or is not a
worthy one. Creston Clarke is. What is
more, nearly everyone in Washington who
is interested in such work knows the de-
gree Of merit which the star has touched.
His portrayal is conservative, intelligent
and almost wholly commendable one.
Never mediocre, it frequently approaches
heights unreached, II ever, by Hamlets of
this decade; by Otis Skinner or Thomas
w. Keene or Frederick Warde. This is
particularly true Of the climax to the
scene in which the players appear before
the King and Queen-a climax strongly
and not ponderously built by Mr.. Clarke
In the rendering of yester-evening the ac-
tor was assisted by Adelaide Prince, a
charming Ophelia, and the very capable
cast quoted above The production was
something more than adequate. Tonight

grave Father Lennon read the burial SER
vice.
Sister Beatrice had been in the order
fifty three years at the time of her death,
entering it at the age of twenty. She

ed. She became sister superior OF Provi-
dence Hospital shortly after the civil
war; and remained there up to the time
of her death, a periodsof thrifty three years.
She gave large Sums of her private means
to make the hospital what it is today, be-

moses. Then hundreds of frogs were
placed in the ponds, and from the or
iginal stock the increase has been so
great that, though thousands are sent
to market yearly, the Withdrawals
have no sensible effect upon the vast
numbers remaining. Frog ranching Is
not unlike cattle raising. There are
one, two, three, or four years olds,

always keep the young ones separate
and apart from the full grown, which
are cannibals Of the first rank, and eat

In California, as in colder climates,
frogs hibernate in winter, and in the

twenty miles from San Francisco, that

shores of San Francisco bay. In the
