DE. TAlmage's Lecture the Great Event
Other Interesting Lectures.
The second day at Glen Ocho Chau.auqua
opened with affairs in a much better condition
ton than at the opening. The electric rail-
road especially was running much more
smoothly and the crowds were handled
WITH considerable celebrity. The big event of
the day was naturally the lecture by DIR. Tai
mage, entitled up and Down in the Holy
Land"
Mrs. Coleman +. Bishop on Delsarte in the re-
ception tent Her lecture was more of an in
formal talk on the practical advantages to be
gained by the practice of Delsartian methods.
At II o'clock the body Of the amphitheater
was comfortably filled to listen to a lecture by
Rev. Russell Connell, ID Of Philadelphia on
acres Of Diamonds" Or. Connell began by
relating the story OF an ancient oriental gen.
tieman :. who travelled in order to
nnd diamonds and after he had
which he lived was found to be rich in pre-
cious stones. This. said the doctor, was the
mine OF GolGotha and the moral was
that a mans fortune was close to him
II he only knew how to find it. He advised
every one to get rich, but did not naturally
favor dishonesty.
Mr.. Harry James, formerly connected with
police headquarters. has been APP
pointed superintendent of public comfort
and Mr.. Enoch Faibley was appointed assist.
ant secretary. The camp is polieed by a
corps Of police under military discipline, who
patrol the grounds at all hours. They are
neatly uniformed. Until the Chautauqua opened
there we're $50 men at work on the grounds
but not case Of sickness occurred. The
crowd at the afternoon exercises today was
large and yesterday the electric road carried
something over 1000 people.

the dividend would be reduced to 81 per cent,
as in the case Of Rock Island. The meeting for
the declaration of the dividend will be held to-
morrow, and it is stated authoritatively that
the Missouri Pacific quarterly dividend will be
per cent. There were also rumOrs that Louis

be traced.

fneries were especially weak in the second
