y young man in the congrega-
ton was about to leave for South
Africa. but the Sunday before he
departed he attended the church
service.
In the course OF his lecture the
minister used an illustration in
which were the words, "A man
can easily purchase two sparrows
for threepcnce.
The young man. after being alb
sent for about three years. re-
turned. and on the first opportu-
nifty attended divine service.
Strange TO say, he heard the same
narrative By the same minister,
the phrase stricking him most
being about the " two sparrows
for threepense.
At the close Of the service the
minister, in his courtesy, came
and shook hands with the youth
and, welcoming him back to his
home, asked him if he notiCedany
change about the place.
The young man, evidently
quite unconoerned, replied in a
pawky tone: Aye, man, there's
twa or three changes. but there's

Death Of rdrSs GOT0elia g.
Wurrays an Old apd Eop.
OTsd Resident.

~ CT ENSSi0STlI.
Mss. Cordelia Murray. whose
recent death is regretted by many
friends in this county, was born
in Mathews, November o, IS45.
IN the home of her father, Will
lam Williams. near Williams
Wharf, where her sister Eugenia
and Mary nov reside. She
fCordelia Carey Murray) was the
youngest of the five sisters that
grew 30 wOmanhood, two. Louisa
and Lucy, having died when
children.
When about thirteen or four
teen years of age, she united
with the Methodist Protestant
church, becoming a member of
Bethesda. Later, when Christ
Church, generally known as
Kingston, was re-opened with
Rev, John McGill as rector. she
was confirmed and joined It's
membership, and has ever since
been one of its staunChest sup
porters.
Several years after the civil
War, and in the twentythird
year Of her age in 1868, she mar
ried Heron Campbell Murray of
Baltimore, and become the moth
er of six children; two Of these
died in babyhood, and the re-
naming four survive her.
After her marriage Baltimore
became her home, for ninetecn
years, her summers, however,
being spent in Mathews, from
which she was ever loath to part
and where, in 1874 her husband
built the home with which her
memory will be mostly associat-
ed.
In Baltimore Mrs. Murray was
first an attendant at Emanual
church, but soon joined St. Peters
of which she was for many years
an earnest and helpful member,
in which she was largely known.
DR.. Julius L. Grammer, a man of
broad sympathy, and an eloquent
preacher, was rector during her
membership there, and became
"a close friend Of herself and fam
lily.
Her husband died in, 1880, and
eight years later she removed
with her family from Baltimore
to Mathews, and renewed her
membership at Christ Church:
joined its Parish Aid Society and
became a teacher in its Sunday
school. She was ever an earnest
Christian woman. q faithful wife
and mOther,and a devoted friend.
Her health has been poor for
many years. She was three
times under the surgeons knife,
and after the final operation, last
summer, never regained her
strength.
She died in her old home in
Baltimore, and her death will
be greatly mourned.
She leaves an endowment of
one thousand dollars to Christ
Church, of which she has been so
loyal supporter. Her surviving
children are Archie c. Murray
of Baltimore, Mrs. ]. VIM. Vaw-
ter of Gcenheld, Indiana, William
II. c. and Milton Murray of this
county.

"Ma's New Husband"

One of the seasons big laugh
ing successes, which is announ.
ced as the attraction for Sunday
Dec. %. This is a musical com
edy of the farcical and affords
amusement of a hilarious kind to
playgoers. 1t is heralded as
having a perfectly sane plot. with
none of the extravaganza so
common to pieces of it's class.
The central figure. which is
denoted in the title. is a clever
ingenious actor, with whom for.
tune has dealt hardly. Punched
financially by his failure on the
road and through inability to
market his plays. he is at his
wits end to make both ends
meet. To heighten the misery
OF his plight, he is in love with a
charming widow whose worldly
goods have also been swept away
by misfortune. This widow has
a rich, bachelor cousin, who
luckily invites her to his home
when her affairs look most for
4 .
bidding. She is passionately at
tached to her actor lover and
cannot bear the thought of par
ting. Together they conceive
the plan of making him pose as
her son and SO they visit her
cousin. whose home becomes the
scene of the most side-splitting
complications, owing to the sup.
posed relationship.
Guests. tutor, servants and
lost, as well as the lovers are all
involved in the merry train Of
circumstances, until the actor
declares his identity and proves
lis right to the title of Mas
Jew Husband" instead of son.
The musical numbers are re-. !,
erred to as being tuneful and {
'opular, the kind that catch the
ar and become familiar in the
ONE and on the street. Mana.
ers Scott and Raypor have as
'gned the characters, it is said, J
