LATE PASTOR RUSSELL

The sudden death OF Rev. Charles
TaZe Russell on a railroad train in
Texas, yesterday afternoon in men
toned elsewhere in the Gazette. He
had been sufferer from heart
troubles for some time.
Pastor Russell, as he was gen.
orally known, attained universal
notoriety during the past few years.
Many AleNandrians heard him
preach when he appeared in Wash
ington,
Through the Bible Students As
ISOLATION of America his sermons
have been given worldwide circula-
tion. A few years ago they were
printed in the Gazette. He advocat-
ed religion of such breadth that
he included Protestants of all de-
nominations among his followers.
The deceased probably had moe

nespapers, tracts and books than
any herald Of the gospel in ancient
or modern times. His addresses APP
pealed to thousands who lack in
terest in the orthodox theology of the
different denominations. While not
original in his deductions, he brought
about a Renaissance which set many
persons to thinking. $50
Pastor Russell had made the pro-
phetfc portions of the Scripture a
close study. Like al such students,
he believed in literal fnlhliment Of
The many forecasts Of the Old and
New Testament. i. e.. the restora-
zion Of the Kingdom of Israel. the
immenence OF the SECOND advent.
the glories of the coming ages. etc:
His theology. was generally re-
puGiated by sboth Protestant and
Catholic divines, but he persisted in
spreading it in all the world.

Let us hope, however. that the ciV'l

Thel,Teal power that will govern

lis prime object is to compel all Of
ficers of the state to enforce rigidly,
impartially and diligently the pro-
hib;tion measure. When the law was
first presented it applied solely to
the officers of the state who were
charged with the duty of preventing
the sale of liquors. Members of the
legislature at once agreed that the
law would be good thing for all
officers and it became a general in
stead of specific statute.
Under the prohibition law. the com
missioner and his corps of officers
are to see that the civil officers dis
charge their duties as applied to IL

is stringent, and when any citizen
makes complaint against an officer
for dereliction he must answer in
court. Judges, prosecuting attorneys,
sheriffs. constables, police officers are
required. under the general law of
the state, to make report to prose
cutting officers and to courts of ali
violations that come under their no
tice, failure to do so making them
liable to removal from office.

MANY OE.IIENT FEATURES
IN LYRICS NEW SHOW

Eclipsing in general merit even the
excellent bill presented the first half
OF the week, the new show that came
to the Lyric yesterday delighted au-
diences that filed the theater at each
OF the three performances.
Among the features of this all-big-
time bill Is one OF the best dramatic
offerings of the season. Bessie Rempel
and her company presenting an In
geniously contrived parsphrase of the
allegorical drama, real novelty in
the form of a four-part sketch, en-
titled Think You" While the two
central characters in a romantic lit
tie courtship. which eliminates in q
proposal of marriage. are proceeding
with the conventional shams and de-
ceptions employed by familiar type
OF frivolous young lovers. their real
selves represented by two cynical
characters. look on unobserved and
express the actual thoughts and emo
tons OF the pair in comments and
quips that reflect what is passing in
the minds of the man and the girl.
The piece is smartly acted by Orris
Holland. impersonating Everybody:
De Forrest Dawley, as Everybody
Real Self: Jane Pyle. cast as Every
ElFl. anu 2IISr 1SeIIipH as E4NtEyEifI .
Real Self. Think You" was written
by Harriet Rempel, who must be
credited with a most felicitous idea
in sketch-writing. and was staged by
Alexander Ieftwich, who Is remem-
bered here as the very capable stage
director OF the Lucille La Verne Stock
Company at the Academy of Music
about a year ago. Think You" is
palpable hit.
Another number of unusual calibre
Is the entertainment in which the
Breen Family OF five. three girls and
two boys. display their remarkable
versatility. The Breens supply COM
edy. Juggling. acrobatics and some
exceptionally good dancing. The
dances include soft-shoe. clog and &C.
centric numbers. and one of the girls
Is an artistic toe dancer The act Is
remarkable for the quantity as well
as the good quality OF the entertain
ment. The Breens won much WELL
deserved applause.
Betty Washington. a pretty violin
iste, capt 'ated her audiences with her
clever performance. The little wo-
man is an accomplished musician and
has q most engaging personality. Cos
TUNED as a strolling musician. the
winsome Miss Washington presented
charming picture one pays WITH
fine expression and depth of feel
ing that stamps her a genuine little
artistic.
Val and Ernie Stanton. nut"
comedians, kept the big crowds laugh
ing for a quarter of an hour with
their ludicrous comedy antics, and a
capital eccentric comedy. singing and
dancing skit, called The Theatrical
Agency" was put over In breezy fash
ion by Walter Schrode and Elizabeth
Mulvey.
The new show Is without a weak
number.
