Elizabeth Powell, whose critical ILL.,
ness was mentioned In the RRPUBLIoAN
of Saturday, died this morning at ass
o'clock, at tho residence OF her son,
Arthur Powell, 1914 ''Bn street. Up
until last Wednesday, when Mrs. Pow
ell had q paralytle attack, the hope
was feebly cherished by her children
and her many friends that she would
have heightened out the centenary OF
her birth, which would have occurred
on the Esd of February next. The Goth
anniversary OF her birth was celebrated
by a large gathering OF her friends,
at which she was amongst the liveliest

ripe shock of corn, she has been
gathered by the great harvester, death

Powell, has been a prominent object
OF interest In South Wilmington for
many years. Nobody knew her but to
love her, and probably none did
more TO build up Aladeley NJ. L.
Church than she. Her place in the
church during the preaching of the
word, the prayer services and class
meetings, and Ler seat In the Sunday
School Bible class were never vacant
IL she was physically able to be there.
The sick room was her favorite
place of resort. and II anybody took
sick in the neighborhood she was rea-
sonably sure to be sent for. She took
great delight in gathering up children
and bringing them into the Sunday
school and inducing people TO attend
church. Mother Powell will 10 very
much missed in the community In
which she moved and the good that
She has done will only 10 revealed in
that day when she has been told that
she has been faithful over few things
and he asked to enter into the Joys of
her Lord, where she shall be made ruler
over many things.
Mother Powell was born in England,
and was raised toa life Of hard, honest
toll. When u number of her children
came to this country they sent for
their mother, then widow, who came
on and lived with them. She was never
married but once, and was the mother
lof sevente en- children. Four of them
are living in this country. Arthur and
David live here in Wilmington, Mrs
Davis, in Richmond, Va. land Il daugh-
ter is the wife OF a Protestant Metho-
dist minister, in Pennsylvania.
A son is supposed TO be living in
Australia and another in England but
us far rs known the other eleven chill
'dren are all Gend.

ell will be held In Madcley NJ. Il. Church

All lovers of emotional comedy
drama should see Miss Kate Purssell,
as Queen OF the Plains, at the Acad-
envy Of Music, the first three evenings
of this week. This is new play writ
ten by Miss Purssell, and is one Of
those fortunate creations which are 30
well adapted to the person performing
the part, as to make 1t real. true, life
like to that degree which seems to re-
move all thought OF impression OF
acting. but makes the part one of such
naturalness as to be not only interest
ing but impresses parts in plays which
are drawn from life, which generally
possesses quality we call soul, that
goes to the heart, because they have
been lived and felt.
Such part in this play has been
drawn for Miss Purssell, and she Is
fully equal to the part. No actress
has ever been more successful in her
portrayals, possessing splendid per
sonal appearance, a magnetic in
iiuence which takes hold and enthus-
eses her audiences Of the production
itself and the supporting company.
An elaborate carload OF scenery,
which was prepared under the direc-
ltion of Miss Purssell, will be nsed. The
performing horses Fire Fly" and Kate
are wonderful and seem to possess hu-
man intelligence. All lovers of this
kind of drama should go TO the Acade-
my of Music during this engagement.
Children, accompanied by ladies',
will he admitted free at the Wednes-
day matinee.
