necessary and he died under the opera
ton.
A pitiful fate was that Of Major Richard
Russell. another veteran of the Crimean
War and Indian Mutiny.
At one time he was one OF the bravest
and most enviable men In her Majesty's
service. and yet he died miserably In the
Belfast Workhouse and was buried In q
pine coffin provided by friends.
During the last nine years Of his life
this gallant soldier lived in one room in
the Belfast slums and eiled out the scan
test living by selling tea to his poor
n~eighboys.
He was too proud TO accept the help
of the friends of his happier days, and
when his strength failed him he was re-
moved to the workhouse.
Wellington's army held no more heroic
soldier than Colonel Maclagen. and none
more eager to court death. Because Of
an unfortunate love affair he swore never
to return to England alive. He distin-
suished himself among his fellows as a
man of reckless valor.
He fought in more than eighty engage
ments and skirmishes. led half a dozen
forlorn hopes Inc twice he charged the
enemy s~ingle-handed, but the death he
sought never came near him.
When the campaign was over he made
his home n Holland. and q few years later
died from a pin scratch, which resulted in
blood poisoning.
General Andre. one Of the most noted
duelists of his day in Europe, met q sin
gular fate.
One day he was recounting one Of his
adventures before the ofacoS1 at mess and
was seized by such q violent at Of laugh
ter at the remembrance that he burst q
blood vessel and died within IN hour.

DEATHS OF
CELEBRATED HEROES

WRITTEN FOR THE SUNDAY REPUBLIC.
There are many instances Of men who
have braved death in a hundred forms and
at last have been killed by some common
place accident.
A type of the surprises which Fate
seems to lave in store for those who seem
to. have charmed lives is the accident
which ended the career OF Captain Charles
de st. Croix.
He was one of the heroes who had sur
vived all the horrors of the Crimean War
and lived face to face with death in all
forms during that time.
He seemed to invite death by volunteer
ing for any specially dangerous duty. but
lie remained untouched while his COM
ranions fell all around him.
In later years he earned a reputation
for being the most daring and lucky big
game hunter in India and subjected him
self to a thousand risks, any one of which
might have proved fatal. Yet his life
was spared to be crushed out Of him under
tho wheels Of a London omnibus.
A companion of Captain ST. Cfoix, Major
Hanson, met an .ven moro ignominious
death.
He had SO many and marvellous escapes
IN the Crimean War and in the Indian
Mutiny that in the army he had gained
the nickname of The Devils Own"

tured his thigh. Amputation became

the artist: Make for me something fine

HIS ONLY FAD.
Sothern's only fad is a most remarkable
one.
1t Is a collection Of old stage doors.
These he has collected from old historic
theaters in this country and in Europe.
Among e is the one through which his
father first entered as a star in this coun-
try; another. the old New York Lyceum
Theater stage door, through which
Sothern himself first entered as a star,
and has recently received from Sir Henry
Irving the old door leading to the stage
of Irving's recently demolished Lyceum
Theater in London. Sentimental reasons
for the memories these doors have held
are Sothern's excuse for making the col
lection.
Sothern's father, the great Dundreary
Sothern. was a man who loved the COM
partnership Of his friends.

Sothern inherits some of this quality,
although he has added studiousness.
Sothern commenced his career as an
artist, made his fame as an actor. has
written plays and is now winning recog-
milton through his poetic and literary tall
ents. This versatility stands him in good
use when he presents a new play.
When Sothern accepts d play he care

the author and makes suggestions. This
Is where his skill as a writer and play
wright comes in. While Justin HuntIy

greatly beloved by all his associates,
by reason of his many excellent quail

a widow and an adopted daughter,
who reside at 1919 Washington street
NE, where the funeral was held on
Monday morning last, thence to st.

mass was offered up. Rev. Father Lee
preached a powerful sermon on the
sad occasion, in which he spoke of the
good Christian life Of the departed and
admonished all to be ever ready for
the final summons. The remains were

Chas. D. Raymer, the well known
bookman, announces Bernarr Macfad-
den, who comes to the First Baptist
church Saturday evening, Nov. 9Th, to
deliver a lecture on 'The Cause and
Cure of Weakness" Mr.. Macfadden
is undoubtedly man with message
of interest to all thinking people. what
ever their station in life may be. He
is generally conceded to be the lead
ing exponent of the doctrine of health
full living, and has long been con-
sidered the chief apostle Of the Physi-
cal Culture Cult. The large sale of
his several novels, and the various
books he has written, as we'll as the
enormous success of his several Physi-
cal Culture Magazines, published in
America and England, would seem to
indicate a very considerable interest
the unique doctrines he advocates. Mr..
lacfadden is a man of wonderful
Magnetic personality. He is an earn
est speaker, and the evident sincerity
of purpose which characterizes his
every thought and action is continu-
ally in evidence. His lecture will I'M
doubtedly prove interesting and in
structive. His unique phraseology
and plain spoken epigrammatic sen
fences occasion considerable amuse-
ment, and at the same time teach a
wholesome and lasting moral.

promptly, which some of his traducers
would do we'll to emulate. He has
fought hard for South st. Paul to Sc

people got kind of used to Mr. Hodg-
son, who held the Office for eight
years, and he was Republican at
that. He was let out some way or
another, but is now up again. Now,
by this time Mr.. O'Keefe has proven
to the satisfaction of all the people
that he is. competent, ready and hon
est to do their work, and most I'M

we hope, be reelected.
