Although compelled to wait nearly
two hours before the curtain went up
at the Keylor Grand. last night, the
big audience that filled the house felt
well rewarded when the people from

appearance.
The delay was occasioned by late
trains and although a special was run
from Wallula it was nearly 10 o'clock
when the company appeared
The play is all that has been claimed
for it and won the hearts of the au-

expressions of appreciation. Blanche

IN place Of Miss Cook. who recently

was of high standard and thoroughly
pleased her hearers. The other charac-
tiers were all good and as a whole the
play is one which will last long time

POLITICAL SERMONS.

Much reflection for cOntemplatlve
clergvmen will be found in the incident
reported from a little town in Illinois
concerning a conflict between represent
tatives of the clergy and lalty. Inc
minister had delivered sermon OF
political cast to which local poll
tician. a member of his congregation,
took exception and became unpleasant
ly personal in his remarks. When the
politician refused to withdraw the
offensive terms there was seemingly
nothing left for the preacher bur 10
thrash tho politician with all the ardor
If indignant righteousness.
The minister might have cited in his
own defense numerous precedents for
the delivery of political sermons. From
the beginning of the agitation for a
rcnublc Americans have heard from
the pulpit burning words of pollucal
j,nnort. The revolutionary patriots
were accustomed to political express
siOns from partisan pastors Forty
wears later the federaliSt preachers did
mot hesitate to vent their opinions OF
the political situation in their pulpit
r1.tnrarceS. When the country was
'ana1nc with excitement over the Kan
sas and Nebraska bill it was frequent
ly a conception of the northern pas
tors duty that he should voice such po-
iitical sentiments in his sermons as
would guide his flock to a better appre-
Ella ton of the grave issues at stake. SO
the Illinois minister to this extent has
merely followed in the footsteps of
many great and eloquent preache
AS for the subsequent physical en-
counter and the refusal Of the pastor
to turn either his other cheek or his
back. opinions may differ. 1t would
seem. however. that in this instance
the victorious preacher not only backed
up his privileges and rights as a ma
ligned private citizen. but completely
indicated with his strong right hand
and worthy arm his prerogative to
preach a political sermon or any kind
of sermon. He may justly and mod
cstly claim for himself the eXemplifi-
cation both of the church militant and
the church triumphant. and if there
is any politician in the neighborhood
who entertainS n contrary opinion he
must hold it on his own responsibility.
The Illinois preacher has demonstrated
that he is one Of those who. can
Prove their doctrine orthodox
BY apostolic blows and knocks.
1t is not likely that any member Of
his congregation or any citizen of the
village in which he lives will dispute
henceforth his right to preach a politi-
cal sermon.

"ThE eUTTeRFLY."

THE Butterfly" with Lillian Russell
in the role of a fascinating young
widow. will be presented soon at the
Keylor Grand theater. by special ar
rangement with Joseph Brooks. The
play tells the story Of a lively heiress's
hunt for a title. The amusing COM
plications possible under the diverse
divorce laws Of the country supply
enough comedy situations to keep the
audiences in a good humor while the
playwright works out his plot The
scenes of the play are laid in New York
and Saratoga at the height of the sea-
son. This gives Miss Russell the oppor-
unity to wear the gorgeous gowns
for which she is noted. Never since the
first day she ever appeared on any
stage has Miss Russell looked more
beautiful and charming. Her de-
Velopment as an actress of the lighter
rolls of comedy has been nothing short
Of marvellous. In THE Butterfly she
makes a distinct departure from her
former roles by which she gained the
title of a comic opera queen. 1t is to
be regretted that her change from
singing parts were not made earlier in
her career. She promises to rival in
the history of the stage such women as
Nance Oldfield. Mrs. Bracegirdle and
Fanny Davenport. Mr.. Jos. Brooks
has surrounded Miss Russell with one
OF the best companies that has ever
appeared in this city. Prominent in the
roster are Eugene Ormonde, Fred Ty-
Ter, Fred l.. Tilden. John Flood and
Isabel Richards.

Mr. Willard who returned from his

recommences his engagement and to-
night the powerful story of THE Gam
bier ana the Girl will be produced.
This play has made an exceedingly
strong impression, wherever it has been
produced. it being full of heart inter-
est and comedy and the melodramatic
being conspicuous by its absence.
There are many good lessons taught in
this play as we'll as many good hearty
laughs to be INDUCED in as the come
