Saturday afternoon was o memorable.
Chautauqua day in more ways than one.
Between two and three thousand people
were In attendance to hear Sam Jones.
The band concert was one OF the best
and was highly appreciated by the vast
audiencs. The selling Of stock at that
ppportune time was also happy
thought and o large load lifted from the
shoulders OF the management in the
selling of thirty shares OF the stock.
Miss May Carter sang at her best and
though manysof the audaence had bean
waiting IN hour and o half TO hear the
great Sam, they were still ID good husnor4
and listened an hour and forty minutes
longer without apparent fatigue. .1
SANS ROAST.
The title Of the lecture, .Get there
and Stay There''was hardly expressive
OF theme, though i'm many places appli.
cable. The frst division Of bis lecture
consisted IN showing mp socially, morally
politically and rsligiouaIy the detects Or
individuals, society and government,
and in pithy, antithefic Saxon phraseol-l
ogy he did it TO q brown turn. Heis an
adept at ridicule and excoriatea without
mercy, but In the antithetic turn Of his.
sentences brings out some comical idea
which helps laugh of the sting. His
ridicule nowhere rises 10 the dignity of
sarcasm but even the coarse in Sans
lecture, touches popular chord that il.

mixed up with q familiarity that il dar-s
ing and evokes the admiration soe the

ETY.. None felt 80 keenly as the followers
OF the populist party his merciless stabs
at their folblsa and yet no one on the
American platforE 90 nearly resembles
them In calamity howling. AS Sam
doubly discounts them at the business.
however, grievance against h,m may be
actuated more by jealousy than ia the
truthfulness OF Sans statements.
Some OF the edifying thoughts OF his
lecture were where he paraphrased
Burns, Cottar's Saturday Night. or tho
country home, as against the seltishuess
II the rich, the needo OF higher standard
in political morals and his tirm stand for
prohibition. The difference in msn's
estate Is the result OF organic rather
than legal conditions. Hence the need
OF the spirit OF life, action, in q man, the
spirit Of patience, tha spirit of courage,
the spirit Of kindness and universal
charity.
