us by one whose accurate analysis o.
them and vivid portrayal makes then
real people. The eager interest and close
attention of his hearers proved theil
appreciation of President Chapman's
series of word pictures as he gave the
characters in king Lear"
All who heard him must have gained
deeper insight into the motives and
dramatic actions Of the play, even
though it had been read many times
The audience especially enjoyed the
illusions to modern conditions and
questions of present interest which
showed him to be thoroughly In touch
with the times.
In delineating the character Of Lear
he said; What he lacked was man
linessliness. 1t is a lack with which
we as American citizens can feel
great deal of sympathy, for 1t is our
national falling. 1t does not mean that
we are towards, who do not dare to
go out upon the field of battle and die;
that is not true. But when 1t comes
to defending. day by day. the rights
and liberties which we have won upon
the battle field; when it comes to de-
manding of our public servants that
they serve us truly; when 1t comes to
keeping up the daily struggle with vice
and civic crime, then we sit down in
our cowardlce and allow the vile to
triumph over us
In regard to Kent he said; Kent
is the man whom we all like to hear
and read about, but whom we should ali
hate If we had him to deal with in
daily life. He is the man who always
tells the truth"
No one can afford to lose the remain
Ing lectures of President Chapman,
whose presence in the city is so well

THE WATER WORKS BIDS.
Detailed Statement of the Entire Num-
ber of Bids

Below a table is given showing the
various bids in detail, on the construc-
tlon of water works. 1t can readily be
seen that the committee selected by the
commissioners had no easy task on
their hands, in summing up the great
mass of figures given. The table shows
the totals as found by the committee
after carrying out each article bid on,
and does not give clear idea of the
great amount of labor necessary to
gain this result
One or two of the contractors still
remain in the city, and those who have
departed for their homes expect to have
men on the ground in short time The
Pacific Paving Company expect to COM
mence operations as soon as the COM
missioners have the finances In shape,
which will be In few days. The work
will be pushed through to completion,
and 1t seems the determination of the
various contractors to finish up fkc

Aavertise your Christmas Goods.

November and December are the great
buying months of the year, and the ma
iority of merchants can afford TO at
least double advertising special during
these months, returning after the holt
DAYS to their usual space. but he who
stops his advertising after the holidays
loses a very large percentage Of the extra
profit to be made by holiday advertising,
for thousands of people buy after Christ
mas, and may forget the holiday adyer-
tiser, if his advertisement is withdrawn
after Christmas.
The liberal befOre-holiday advertiser
can do the best of the local business.
He can if he be shrewd enough, and
without dishonoring himself, so present
his regular wares that they will appear
dressed in holiday attire. He must make
everything in his store attractive. He
must have more light, more counters
more everything for the convenience of
his customers, and he must add as much
propOrtionally to his advertising expen-
SEES as he does to any other legitimate
expense coming with increasing bust
ness

bOtt, vice presidents; Mrs Girault, sec
rotary; Miss Redmond, corresponding

opened i'm the afternoon by a short relig-
iOus service, conducted by The pastor,
and by the reading of historical sketch
Of the early days by the president of the

George Il. and William II. Feldmeyer.
Mr.. Henry Schreyer gave solo on the

as the colony itself. A generous donation
to the expenses of the church was made
by those attending. A large orange cake,
holding fifty candles WAS in the centre
Of the room, and slices and candles We're

occasion. The evening closed with a very

praise is due the ladies for the beautiful
decoration of the room, the pretty invi-
tatiOns issued and the delightful and sue
cessful character of the entertainment
generally.
