lOTSOF WISDOM AT LONG BEACH
The Proceedings of the Chau-
tauqua Assembly.
The Attendance and the Interest
Both Increasing.
The. Physical Culturs and Docking
Schools Meeting with Great
euccess-Yes
Addresses.

The attendance at the Long Beach
Chautauqua assembly was larger yester-
day than on any previous day, in conse-
quence OF which the enthusiasm has
grown. The officers Of the assembly are
working indefatigably. and success has
already crowned their efforts.
Yesterdays programme was one OF the
best and most enjoyable yet held. The
session was characterized by several
able addresses, the speakers being Jahu
De Witt Miller, r. Kelso Garter, DR..
Kent and others.
The usual hour was given over to de-
Rev. +. 0. McIntier Of Santa Ana.
Following came the normal Bible
class. The subject was The Mission of
Amos. DR.. Kent led the class in his
usually intelligent and impressive man
ner. Under his guidance and new meth
DDS he has large class, all OF whom
take deep interest in the work.
The various departments took up their
work and went through with it with
willing hearts. 1t has been found
necessary to divide the school of elocu-
tion and physical culture, owing to such
q large class. Instructions in physical
culture will be given at seperate hour
from that OF elocution. Miss Alfrey is
meeting with great success in her de-
partment.
There is much enthusiasm in the
class Of conchology. Many eager stu
dents greeted Professor Keep this year,
and the studies in this department will
evince more interest each day.
The school of cookery is seemingly one
Of the most attractive departments.
Miss Whitaker, the instructor, prepares
her material and gives instructions at
the same time. She is ably assisted by
Mrs. NJ. B. Cooper, of San Mateo county.
The instructor herself being an enthusi-
ast in her work, she soon had her class
we'll organized. Each dish in prepara.
tion was tested at the end of an hour.
At 10 am. Professor Anderson again
met his class in the study of American
literature.
At IL o'clock the school OF cookery and
the chorus were at work. 0. Stewart
Taylor is receiving much encomium for
the musical ability exercised in the
work of his department. The school of
art is by no means less important than
the other departments, and the interest
in it is increasing.
AFTERNOON SESSION.
The afternoon session was opened at
2:S0 O'Clock with lecture by Captain
Carter. His subject was The Science of
Paradise Regained. In point OF excel
lence the lecture was twin to the one
delivered the previous day, full of ecien-
tific thought and scriptural teaching.
As basis Of his remarks he chose the
scriptures, together with scientific re-
search, foretelling the end of the world.
His remarks were loudly applauded.
The large audience only wish that he
could remain longer. iHF
The round table work concluded the

The evening ,sssS ion. vas opened, with
apneluds by Miss Marie sParkV n. and after
prayer by DR.. WelIefl the remainder Of
the evening was. taken up with y lecture
by Rev. Jehn : Dewitt Miller. His
chosen subject was Strangers at Our
Gates. The attendance was much
larger than at his previous lecture, JUS
tifying the assertion that his ability as
a speaker has spread beyond the classic
precincts of beautiful Long Beach. His
remarks we're, attentively listened
to, but the stiffness was quite
frequently broken by rapturous
applause. The audience was stirred
completely when, in his remarks upon
immigration, he referred to the pardon
ing by Governor Altgeld of the anarch-
lists from the Illinois penitentiary as
one of the most indefensible acts that
ever characterized any American official.
He was strenuously opposed to immi-
grafton as it pours into our country to-
day, and gave q fine discourse on the
disastrous effects OF the immigration
privileges as they exist. If the foreigner
will not assimilate, shut him out.
The receipts of the assembly during
the first session amounted to $558-$2OO
more than on any previous assembly
session. The assembly is most sue
cessful affair.
