Liberty Millett has been quite
sick for the last three days.
| Died, at his home near Hager-
| man, Idaho, Aug. "a, 1903, Herbert
z. Purdy, aged 35 years, OF peri
tonitis. Deceased was born in
Toronto, Canada. He emigrated
from there to Colorado in 1888,
and from there to idaho in 1905.
In company with his mother, a
sister and two brothers he came to
Hagerman from Camas Prairie just
a year ago. The family purchased
the farm OF Geo. Workman, where
they have since resided, and they
have won the universal esteem OF
the community. Mr.. Purdy was
man who had the respect and
friendship OF all those who knew
him and the news of his sudden
death was shock to nearly every
one in the valley. He was sick for
eight days, but his ailment was
not considered dangerous until the
last day, when DR.. Monroe was
called in, but it was too late for
him to render any assistance. The
last hours of the sufferer were
passed in gentle sleep from which
he did not awaken. His widowed
mother, a sister and one brother
were with him during his last
hours. One brother, DIR. Purdv. |
was in Soldier when summoned |
by telephone, and although ne
made a hard ride was several |
hours too late to meet his brother
in life. One brother in Los An
geles, Cal, and a sister in Carter
vile, S. c., were absent. The fun-
eral services were held in the
grove at the family residence Tues
day, and were conducted by Rev.
J. S. Rogers, who delivered an ell
)quent sermon which was listened

people. The handsome casket was

riends and neighbors. Words OF

AT THE THEATER

Truly n comic opera was THE Bur
gomaster," presented last night with
three of the cleverest comedians that
have visited Savannah this season,
Oscar l.. Figman, Thomas Ricketts,,
and Charles Sharp. 1t is not a one
man play, although Mr.. Figmans wit
is sufficiently scintillating and his
Dutch accent sufficiently good to have
supported the piece alone and made
1t exceedingly funny With Mr.. Rick
etts as e. Booth darlington, an actor
in hard luck. whose take-off of a we'll
known stage type was perfect, and Mr..
Sharp as Doodle. another Dutchman,
whose accent was also above criticism,
it was funny all the way through.
1.-The Burgomaster' differs from
operas of the "Florodora" and "Sulver
Slipper" type in having no sentimental
interest. The plot turns entirely on
the adventures of the Burgomaster,
and his secretary, who fall asleep in
New Amsterdam and awake in modern
New York. and the songs, many of
which are very taking, are with few
exceptions humorous. Miss Ruth
White, who is pretty and graceful, APP
peared as a gay young man about
town, Willie van Astorbilt and make
the part very engaging, although her
voice was too light for the songs. This
was a common fault in the presenta-
ton last night, but the byplay was so
amusing that the songs made very lit

The theater orchestra played and did
it very well.
For over 400 times at the New York
Casino "A Chinese Honeymoon" has
already delighted New Workers.. The
hold that the play has on metropolitan
theater-goers is not so remarkable
when the excellences of the production
are considered. 1t has undoubtedly the
best story and wittlest lines of any
musical play which has been produced
in several decades. Musically, it has
not been equalled since THE Mikado."
But, in addition to this, Shubert and
Nixon 81 Zimmerman have given it
production so lavish in equipment that
they have set a new standard for other
play producers to follow. The excep-
tionally clever company of stars in the
leading roles includes Mr.. John T..

of Mr.. James Walter Bailey and Miss
Bessie Virgins, the ceremony being
performed by Rev. r. A. Brown, pas
tor of the Presbyterian Church.
Only few friends and relatives of
the couple were present, and after the
wedding a short reception was held,
the guests then being ushered into the
dining room, where light lunch was
served. The interior of the house was
very prettily decorated with evergreens

The groom is a young man who is
very popular about town. He is regis

A feature of last nights programme
was the piano playing of Prof. Hubner
