While the the Green Forest boys
and girls failed in the Judgment of
the judges to win a medal, yet we

Declamation:-A speech made in pub
lie IN the TONE and MANNER of an ORA

Piled ESPECIALLY to the PUBLIC SPEECHES
and SPEAKING Of students in colleges,
PRAcT1eED for exercises in oratory. It
is applied also to public speaking in
legislature and in the pit.-Noah
Webster.
The Judges say that if the selections
had been Classified several more medals
might have been awarded. J. r. Stogs-
dill, f. O. Butt, j. A. Worthington of
Green Forest, w. F. Jackson of Berry
vile, and Thomas Evans of Eureka
Springs are spoken of as best in class
which may be termed cratorical. 4
In future con tests it to will be better

morous-Dramatic, Heroic Dramatic,
Humorous and Oratorical are suggest

May II, 1894. In each Of the forego-
ing quotations the emphasis is mlne.)
Now Mr.. Editor I am puzzled and my
logic makes the confusion worse con-
founded.
The Grady Lyceum and the May
flower Club, through their presidents,
say the medals are offered for the best
DECLARATIONS. Webster says declama-
ton is a speech made in the tone and
manner of an orator. The Times
Echo, speaking from the judges, Gas is
clearly shown by the context) says
"Stogsdill, Butt, Worthington, Jack
son and Evans are spoken of as
BEST in class which may be termed
oRAToR1cAL." With these facts look
ing us boldly in the face, it is just
LITTLE difficult for US to see why at
least one of the above mentioned boys
did not get a medal. Can you re-
move the difficulty? To which class
or classes designated by lone of the
judges" were the medals given? Why
was that class or those classes given
precedence over the oRAToRIcAL? In 80
advancing them, was not every PUB
LIsHED condition Of the contest vIo-
LATED
Ifin the announcement, there had
been the slightest intimation that
EITHER Of the OTHER "CLAssEs" would
have precedence over the oRAToRICAL,
our pupils would not have thought for
one moment of entering the contest.
They are endeavoring to to fit them
selves for the BAR, the PULPIT or LEGIs-
LATIvE HALLS, state and national, and
NOT for the OPERA HOUSE or THEATER,
They have no taste, and have had no
no training in that direction.
They understood from the announce
ment the contest would be oratorcal.
They prepared for it under that inn
preston, and they are very much
chagrined to find from the article in
the Times-Echo that they had entirely
misapprehended the occasion. They
bore their defeat manfulIy and without
until they discovered that
they had been led bindfolded to the
shambles. H. p. BURNEY

FOUND IN THE SIERRA MADREs.


a Strange Prehistoric City Accidentally
Uncovered by an Adventurous Miner.
Malvern W. CresWorth, an English
mining man well know throughout
Southwest Mexico, arrived at Map
imi, Mexico, recently from a long
overland journey through the Sierra
Madre Mountains, his starting Loint
being Culican, nea the Pacific coast,
in the State OF Sinaloa. He claims
TO have visited a section of country
never core visited by a white man
Of the present generation, and that
he discovered a large and beautiful
deserted city. lie told a correspond
cnt Of the st. Louis Globe Democrat
that the wonderful city is situated
about eighty miles west of Lake
Colorado in the very recesscs of the
Sierra Madres. 1t occupies a basin
about ten miles long by eight miles
wide. Perpendicular cliffs surround
the basin on ali sides, rising TO a
height of hundreds Of feet. The
only entrance to the city is through a
deep canon, which has a width of
about thirty feet. Mr.. Cresworth
states that he stumbled onto the Sc.
cret entrance quite by taCcident. lie
gives Il vivid description of the de-
serted city. The buildings, he says,
arc constructed of red stone blocks
resembling granite. The business
blocks are two ana three stories in
hois hit, and are entirely different in
architc tural design from the struc-
lures built by the Aztecs and Span
lards. The streets are very narrow,
but are laid out in regular order. In
the city is small park, which is
overgrOwn with rare flowers and
tropical vegetation. lie entered the
business houses and decaying resi-
dcnces, but found very little of value
except some remarkable and strange
ornaments mIdo of stone. lie be-
lievcs that the city was looted at the
time that it Was deserted, whenever
that may hay6Nen. No re ords or
writings OF any kind were found, nor
did he discover any skeleton that
would give an idea as to the race OF
people who at one time inhabited
the city. None Of the natives OF
that section of country had ever
heard of the deserted city. Mr..
CreswOrth is making diligeut in
Qujry OF them. Mr.. Cresworth's
story is very startling and remark
able, but 1t is believed by tho C to
whom lie has related his experiences.
lie will organize an expedition to
make Il thorough exploration OF the
rity.
