DIR. Banning lectured last night at the

and gave illustrations that served to in
terest his hearers in a lecture that was
both new and novel to them and that
teemed with information as TO the man
agement of the voice, generally so little
understood. Dr.. Banning lectures again
on Thursday and Saturday nights gratui-
tously, in the lecture room of the First
Cumberland Church. Subject, "Mechani-
cal Laws of the Body, and Physical Edu-

rvs deputies, was no service, and null
and void. After hearing the argument,
the Judge reafiirmed his decision. but
