Lillian Russell Tonight in Her New
 Racing Comedy.

The sale of seats for the engage ment of Lillian Russell at the Fly perion theater tonight in her new racing comedy "Wndfre" indicates that this evening will be one of the social and theatrical events of the year. Miss Russell will arrive in her private car in the morning of the play If the weather is favorable she will take a motor ride in the after noon. She is a great believer in living as much as possible in the open air.
 Lillian Russell will never return to the operatic stage. She has made such a great success as a eomedienne that she needs fear no longer any such calamity as the loss of her voice. She can still sing as sweetly as ever, put she is even more entertaining playing parts than in singing roles. Joseph Brooks, under whose direction Miss Russell is touring, discovered that Miss Russell was a real come dienne and that all she wanted to put her at the head of the list was to get her good plays. The Butterfly" was the first of them and "Wildfire' is even more entertaining.
 NovelIi.
 The vers utility of Ermete Novell, the distinguished Italian actor, who is to be seen here at the Hyperion, Decem- ber 2S, for the first time, has made him especially notable and there is probably no other actor in the world who has mastered so many absolute ly different types of footlight charac- terization. In Italy, Novelli is accus- toned to sandwich in the most hilari- ous farccs between his performance of tragedy. One season he convulsed lis admirers by masquerading in the skirts of "Charleys Aunt" The come dies of Coldoni, Moliere and Scrive, the melodramas of Dumas, sardou and Hugo, the poetic drama of Dellvigno, lGstevan and others, in fact, almost any play from the "Ovipus Rex, of Sopho- cles, and the "Aulularia' of Pluto, to the great tragedies of Shakespeare are at his finger tips, He can go upon the stage at a moments notice and do any one of 140 roles while during his ca reer he has undoubtedly played a full thousand different parts. Tn one week in New York, for instance, he appeared as Shakespeare's 'Othello,' "Shylock' and ''Petruchio,9 as Dumas Kean, as Delavigne's Louis XI, as Goldonis old Bear Corante, as Byron's Butterman Middlewick and as Marcus Brutus Snap in A Night Of" He seems to be able to turn himself at a minutes notice into any sort of a character that he wishes-a very Proteus of the foot lights.
 MT. Novelli will be seen in "A Night Off'' Saturday matinee, and in The Tanning of the shrew" Saturday eve ming.

Successful Work at Charleston.
The Eastern Illinois State Normal

instruction in agriculture for num-

house and school room experiments
and a school garden. Practical mat
tiers concerning the soil and plant

en- crops and injurious insects are
dealt with. President Livingston C.

MOVEMENT TO TEACH AGRICULTUR
IN SCHOOL Is GATHERING FORCE

The breadth and depth of the new
about agriculture in the public schools
is further shown by a budget of re-
ports secured by Prof. Frank II. Hall,
Superintendent of the Illinois Farmers
institute. Five normal schools of Hill
nois are teaching agriculture or nature
study to teachers and showing the
methods and experiments by which
this subject may be taught in the COM
mon schools. Concerning this matter,
Prof Francis G. Blair, State Superin-
tendent of Public Instruction says:
II predict that within the next four
or five years there will be very close
union between the normal schools Of
the state and the university agricul-
tural college in regard to teaching agri-
culture If the university will help, as
am sure it will, they will be glad to
follow: Under the Indy" scholar

the farm districts are pouring into our

er some institution must decide upon
a certain body knowledge which ought

ted to do it, believe, is the college o.
agriculture. Five normal schools anC
similar institutions must place it be
