The Russell Brothers in "The Great
level Mystery"

AIingling their weIl-known speciality
with a nicely drawn melodrama. the
Russell Brothers begun what must
prove a successful week at the Acad-
emy OF Music last night. 1t was
rather novel to see the Irish servant
girls in their various female fmpersOna-
tiOns portray the part Of two successful
detectives in sowing The Great Jewel
Mystery" but they did it. and did IL
well. James Russell was the same
inimitable Gladys Murphy Of old. while
John was right there as the only Miss
Grabbenhaimer-
All of those representations made so
popular by the Russell Brothers were
given with their accustomed finish and
were so well worked into their play thai
each action was new. even II remin-
iscent.
The play Is well worked out, and the
cast up 70 every requirement Annie
COnrOy Russell as a rich widow was
excellent, as was also Kathryn Vincent
as a diamond smuggleT- Kate Good
rich, VINO is the ingenue of the com
pany, bids fair TO win a high place on
the stage All in all, 70 is a good show
and well produced.

Attention was called in these
columns several days ago to the
holes in the asphalt near Thomas
circle. That the pavement made
riding there in any vehiere-whether
automobile, carriage, or bicycle-a
dangerous as well as an uncomfort-
able proceeding, was manifested
that morning by an accident to

thrown from his wheel violently.
and Scared like a veteran of two
wars. 1t was noted further that
in Fourteenth street alone, within
a block of the circle, were twenty
two holes, not worn places or
cracks, but holes, four or five inches
deep.
Yesterday the pavement in that
locality was repaired. The holes
were filed, all around the circle:
and the repairers not only found
twenty-five, but went on and filed
eighty or ninety more. According
to existing standards, the streets
Of that vicinity are now in good
repair
Well they may be in good repair,
but they are not good streets. Many

men as Carl Schurz compete with

Of course, it is not common in
Germany or any other country to

Britain has for centuries been the

nowhere has there been at once

The Free Alcohol Bill.

After the rate bill, what? The
Senate will, of course, plunge into
a consideration of the appropriation
bills, in which legislation the upper
branch of Congress is far behind
the schedule. The question of Sem
ator Shoots retention of his seat is
likely TO occupy some of the time
of the Senate. The nature of the
report, affecting, as it does, the
right of a Senator to serve his State
in the greatest legislative body in
the world, is a matter of the high
est privilege eand takes precedence
over everything else.
But next 10 the rate bill-in the
Middle West almost before the rate
Oill-the free alcohol bill has the
widest measure of popular approval.
1t is designated IAN act for the
withdrawal from bond. tax free, of
domestic alcohol when rendered un-
fit for beverage or liquid medicinal
uses by mixture with suitable de-
maturing materials" From the
title, therefore, it is readily seen to
be one TO which the temperance folk
cannot with reason object. The
only open objection comes from the
manufacturers of wood alcohol,
which will be largely supnlanted
by denatured alcohol. 1t has been
often said that the Standard Oil
Company was opposed to the pas
sage of the bill. In his special mes
sage to Congress on the subject OF
the Garfield report, the President
urged the passage of the free al
cohol bill, stating that this would
tend TO destroy the monopoly. I'm.
mediately, the Standard Oil Com
Pany, in its reply, announced that il
was not opposed to the bill. The
great opposition, therefore, did not
amount to anything, or it has been
withdrawn.
This will be good news to the
farmer, who seeks sale for his un.
marketable produce. Many are the
by-products and the waste products
of the farm which can be utilized
in the making of alcohol. And when
denatured, under the terms of the
bill, it cannot only be used ex-
tensively in the arts and industries,
but for fuel, light, and power. As
an iliuminant, for example, 1t is
cheaper, cleaner, and as safe as
kerosene. Therefore. what house.
holder would not prefer it?
Earlier in the session it was said
that Senator Aldrich, as chairman
of the Finance Committee, would
oppose the passage of the bill on
the ground that it would "open the
tariff question" 1t is now whis-
pered about that the bill will be
passed in order to settle the tariff
question; in other words, to stife
the cry for tariff revision. With
the rate bill and the free alcohol
bill 70 their credit. the Republicans
hope TO retain control of the next
House.
