osi,ions laid down by the lecturer
/ Ga TUESDAY evening by request.
l. I. Handy changed the Institute
program, and Instead Of giving his
lecture, 'The American Idea," gave
the large audience his lecture EMIT
led, "patrick Henry Statesman and
Orator." in masterful manner:
what historian Weems did for
George Washington, Handy is dong
for Patrick Henry, painting his sub
ject III the choicest word coiors so
that he stands before his audience in
the light almost of a god man.
Handy is George Washington mar F.,
but only after Henry has been con-
side:ed and placed upon the pinnacle
of The temple OF American greatness.
He opened up H.nry's pedigree, stat
ed his birth, his WOO irgs, his mar
IiaIe, his business ventures aud fail
ures, his ora:ory and political ca.eer,
his last dose of medicine, III such
glowing language that some of his
audience hung almost breathIess up
on his word painting expecting to
see him pull aside the veil that hidss
the future and usher his subject in
to the golden streets of the New
Jerusalem.
On Wednesday evening the Ariel
Quartet enter; aimed the Institute with
one of its pleasant concerts. The
young Ladies, Miss Anna Fernandez.
| Miss Gertrude Christie, Miss Fannie
E. Holt, Miss Emma V. Foster, de-
lighted the large audience in the rem
dl,ion of old and new time songs and in
strumental music, fiddle and piauo.
They are the prettiest and most musi
Cal quartet that has appeared here III
many DAYS. and their talent was highly
appreciated, but the most unique fca
ture of the entertaiGment was tee &c
Compartment Of VIM A. W. JdcCorm,
lex, whistler and bird imitator. His
limitations of bird songs and animal
b b,rks, creaks and squaks, patfs and
blows of machinery, proved that the
human voice can be cultivated to imi
tate songs Of the birds of the ar,
noise of the beasts of the field, and
the hum of the machinery of man.
