Farewell. farewell to the old.
We bury the dead years joyfully
To find them again in eternity.
Farewell. farewell to the old"

Smile as you like at the big key and the
solemn verger unlocking the gate; at the
rows Of many-colored seals that testify to
work done; at all the small "pomp and
circumstance" that make up these final
days; it is still all good; all part of the
new life. itself but hint of more and bet
ter to come.
| All over the United States circles have
formed and are forming. The remotest
village feels the stir, and its people learn
how to work together on broader basis
| than they have ever known. 1t is an en-
larging and deepening of lives for all. and
each year will lessen the sectarian element,
already far in the background, and make
of it, what its founder hardly dared to
| hope it might one day be-a university
| for the people.
| Chautauqua is vital part of the many
| sided work that more and more marks our
passage from century of material growth
and thought into the nobier one so near at
hand Let me then end this most imper-
feet word with better ones from master
| 1t is Victor Hugo who shall tell You, as
hardly another man of the nineteenth CEN
tury could what is to be, and in this is-to
| be, Chautauqua will own a share larger
than any Of US have ever dreamed might
For four hundred years the human race
has not made step but what has left its
| plain vestige behind. We enter now upon
| great centuries. The sixteenth century
will be known as the age of painters; the
seventeenth will be termed the age of
writers; the eighteenth the age of philos-
! ophers; the nineteenth the age of apostles
and prophets. To satisfy the nineteenth
century, it is necessary to be the painter
of the sixteenth, the writer of the seven
teenth. the philosopher of the eighteenth,
and it Is also necessary like Louis Blanc,
to have the inmate and holy love of hu-
manity, which constitutes an apostolate,
and opens up a prophetic vista into the
future. In the twentieth. war will
be dead, the scaffold will be dead,
animosty will be dead, royalty will be
dead, dogmas will be dead, but man will
live. For all there will be one country
that country the whole earth, for all there
will be but one hope,-that hope the whole
heaven. All hail, then, to that noble twen-
tieth century, which shall be our chill
dren's and which our children shall inher-
| it,"

bers, Succumb to La Grippe.
MUscoSEE. /. T., Dec. l6.-The reports
Of the deaths Of the two leaders OF the
Cherokee nation has been fully confirmed.
Joel b. Mayes, principal chief Of the ma
ton, died Monday morning and Henry
Chambers, the second chief, also passed
away St TalleQuah. The nation IS there
fore left without ruler.
Both men are understood to have died OF
Ia grippe. which is very prevalent In the
nation
Both men have been very popular among
their people and, although considerably up
in years, We're hale and hearty up to within
a few days of their deaths. The loss at this
particular time is a great disaster TO the ma
ton and will greatly delay much needed
legislation, the sale of the strip being one
of the questions low before the council,
which it was hoped would be disposed Of,
and the cool judgment of Mayes, with his
great influence, would have greatly facili-
tated the closing up OF the deal between
the United States commissioners now at
Tallequah and the representatives Of the
nation.
The offices made vacant by the death Of
these two men will have to be filled by the
council, and that body being largely Down
ing will, of course, elect two Downing men,
and one Of them will most likely be Tuhee,
who was defeated by Chambers. Henry
Chambers has held many positions OF
trust in the nation and was a leader in
politics. He was national treasurer for
many years. Mayes was serving his sec
ond term as chief. having succeeded him.

of the Romans enabled them 10 swal-

as Prof. Huxley reminds us. even
ladies carried about them peacock 5

Seneca in the time OF Nero, re-

northern parts OF our island Kitchen
