THE LYoEUM ESTABLISHED.
Some of the Attractions 1t VIII Bring
to Savannah.


Savannah is to have a lyceum, which
will bring to it the best of American tai
ent now on the platform. The lyceum is
one of the most potent means yet devised
of entertainment and enlightenment. The
course will be opened early in January
by Mr.. Leland T. Powers, who stands
York and in our southern cities where he
has appeared the difficulty is to get houses
that will hold his audiences. Coming on
the stage entirely alone he makes his
audience see the dozens of characters that
throng a play.
He viii be followed by John B. Denote,
with his Harp of the Senses" which,
great in itself, is illustrated by bril-
liant experiments, made by means of
apparatus collected by Prof. Denote
himself in America and Europe Denote
is undoubtedly the most entertaining
scientific lecturer on the American plat
form, and an immense amount of valua-
BILE information comes along with the
unequalled entertainment. 1 is illustrated
throughout with stereopticon views and
scientific experiments. not such views
as would naturally be suggested by the
term stereopticon lecture, but scientific
theories and truths embodied and pre-
scented tangibly.
George r. Vending, who has earned
for himself a place in the very foremost
of American thinkers and speakers will
be here in February The power of this
master of the platform is attested by the
urgent demands for his lectures in places
where he has been again and again. In
enc southern city Mr.. Vending has lee
tured seventeen different times TO eVer-n-
Creasing audiences
The famous English traveller, orator
and scholar, Mr. Robert Hooper, will be
here in March in one of his illustrated
1 travel lectures His own views, together
with the fine instruments made for him
in London. make his work the finest now
before the public. In New York, Boston,
and Philadelphia, where he appears in
the great courses from year to year, he
eXcels Talmage in drawing.
These are some of the attractions the
lyceum will bring to Savannahians. The
lyceum is cooperative and the cost will
be reduced TO the minimum. Season tick
