Social Event in the Russian Colony
at Rosedala Was Celebrated
An Day Sunday.

A double wedding in the Russian
colony at Rcsedaie seven miles
south OF Alexandria, took place Sun-
day morning, and which lasted until
late in the evening hours before the
service was finally com pleted. The
names of the parties are Joseph Man
die and Katherine hofer, and Michel
Nadner and Katherine Gross. There
is much 10 the Russian service OF
marriage and after 1T is gone through
with there is little disposition OF
the contracting parties to ever with
draw from the bans. Several Mitch
ell people we're present and witnessed
the cere IRONY from beginning to end.
The ceremony was begun in the
morning at 10 O'Clock in the little
stoua church, in which the old Gus
tom OF the men and women sitting
on opposite sides OF the church still
prevails. The Russian priest de-
liyercd q long sermon previous to
the marriage ceremony. and at IL 20
O'Clock he called the contracting
parties to. the front Of the editice,
the womQn going up first and then
followed by the young men. The
ceremony proper so far as could be
understood, as it was given in Rus
isan, was more or less American and
lasted but a short time. 1t was
followed by a prayer and a song and
then the brides and grooms returned
to their separate seats, and the
priest followed with more talking
and more preaching.
The brida! costumes of the couples
we've very simple, the maidens wear
my llannelette gowns with a hand
kercilief tied over their heads. The
groo.ns, however, were dressed a
little more fastidiously, i'll that they
wore u regular wedding suit, chief
Of which was a long coat. A pecul-
iarity about the coat is that it is
worn by every bridegroom in the set
Element, two coats being kept in
the settlement in case OF a double
wedding, and whether the groom
be long or short, large or small the
coat Inust do its duty.
With the ceremony over the guests
and the bridal couple went to the
eating house, where a big dinner was
served, which was composed o!
noodle soup, bread, beef, sauer
kraut, whiskey and wine. The
women occupied one long table and
the men another, but the bridal
couples were allowed to sit together
on this occasion. With the dinner
over, came the interesting part of the
ceremony, and that is the love scene,
which follows a Russian wedding.
There is little love INDUCED in be-
fore or after the ceremony, but on
the day of the wedding ample OPP
%portunity is offered the brides and
grooms to get all the happiness pos
sible The company went to what
is called the love DON in one of the
houses, where, before the assembled
crowd, the brides and grooms sat
with arms around each other, billing
and cooling oblivious to the comments
and watchful eyes of the Others. AS
sort of a break in the monotony
for the brides one of the young ladies
filled the aprons of the brides with
peanuts and candy. which they
munched with complacency as the
joyous festivities proceeded. At
O'Clock the love scene broke up and
the day of the wedding came to an
end. Next Sunday will occur another
double wedding at Elm Springs
colony.

Columbia Theater.

Little Jack Horner" is the title Of the
combination Of music and vaudeville spe-
cialties which served to entertain holiday
audiences at the Columbia Theater yester-
day afternoon and evening, when the regu-
lar season at that playhouse was opened.
Gabriel, characterized as Americas toy
COMEDIAN, was featured as a star in the
title role, and together with his faithful
canine friend, Spot. impersonated by
George Ali, made much merrment for the
audience during the brief periods they were
permitted by the construction of the piece

or the piece there is an intimation of a
story, but this is entirely lost sight of as

players are too much engrnSsed with other
things-and the final curtain falls quite sud

blonde young lady. The .specialties, how
ever, provide an interesting entertain
ment. Billy Clifford danced with his old
time nlmbleness, and assisted materially
with songs and comedy in entertaining the
AUDITORS. Blanche Deyo was warmly APP
and in song was materially assisted by
the quiet comedy of a specially engaged
payer IN one of the boxes, to whom she ad-
dressed the customary coquetries of the
Observation-Disclosures soubrette. The Dinus

Rice and Provost scored a screaming hit

notice.

Special Correspondence OF The Star.
BOYDS, Md. September 4, 1906.
A distressing accident occurred yesterday
afternoon at Reels Mills. a little station
about ten miles east of Washington juno
ton toward Frederick, as the result of
which Mrs. Walter O'Brien, aged thirty
two years, was killed by shot from a cat
rifle in the hands of one of her little chill
dren, who was careessly playing with it.
A son, aged ten years, had been out shoot
ing at birds with the rifle, and when he re-
turned to the house to his mother he placed
the rifle near the wood pile. when his five
year-old brother picked 1t up and. in trying
to open the breach, caused it to explode
The cartridge passed through Mrs.
OBrien's heart while seated in a rocking
chair in the kitchen. She died almost in
stantly. The eldest son, badly frightened
notified close neighbor, and a physician
was sent for. but there was of course no
hope of saving the mothers life.

WILL OF JAMES L. TONER.
Courts Order Under Recent Litigation
Proceedings.

Justice Gould, presiding in the Probate
Court today, cited Martin F. Morris, re-
tired justice Of the District Court of APP
peals. to show cause October 10 next why
the order admitting to probate the will of
James L. Toner should not be revoked.
The citation is based on the caveat filed
August II last by the heirs of James L.
Toner residing in Pennsylvania and Cali
fornia, who inform the court that subse-
quent to the date Of the execution Of the
will probated here Mr.. Toner signed pa
per writing which in express terms re-
voked the will filed here.
1t is contended by Attorney Andrew Y.
Bradley for the heirs that the revocation
executed by Mr.. Toner has the effect of
multiplying the will and making Mr.. Toner
interstate as to real estate In the District
of Columbia. He also suggested that the
mere filing of the caveat under the pro-
vision of the code had the. effect Of revok-
ing the probate, but as a precautionary
measure he decided to take a rule against
Justice Morris. SO that the judge might
have an opportunity to be heard on the
question
