The Lecture Course.


A thoroughly satisfactory lecture
course being assured by the Woman's
reading club, too much cannot be said
of the entertainments selected. Ihe
real merit of each is acknowledged
by. all, and it is hoped the patronage
accorded them will show, not only
the appreciation of the entertain
ments themselves, but of the object
for which they are given-the benefit
of the free public library.
The course will be opened in Octo-
Der by the Couthoui Concert Co., a
combination of star performers. Miss
Couthoui is one of the finest elocu-
tionists and dramatic readers before
the public, and has with her the tall
ented soprano, Miss Salome Thomas;
George II. Wilder, the gifted flute
virtuoso, and Miss Ida Low, who is
the accompanist and an accom-
plished musician.
The second number Of the course
will be lecture by Jahu Dewitt
Miller, orator, philosopher, scholar
and wit. The North American Re-
view says of him: "All who have
heard him once require no reminder
of the pleasure experienced, for Mr..
Miller is really eloquent. Indeed, in
l,.1l tn a.
speaker of extraordinary interest
and power, Mr.. Miller is richly en-
dowed."
The third entertainment will be a
lecture by George Kennan, the cele-
brated and well known Siberian ex-
plorer. The editor of the Omaha
Bee says Of him: "As a lecturer Mr..
George. Kennan has impressed me as
the peer Of any man | have ever
heard on the lecture rostrum. His
voice is clear and sonorous, his die
tion pure, his delivery earnest and
forcible, and his gestures graceful
and free from mannerism. He holds
his audience spell-bound from the
moment be opens to the last sentence
and syllable by his magnetic power,
pleasing presence and thrilling mar
ratiye.n
The fourth entertainment is by
John Temple Graves. President
Cleveland says of him: "He is the
most brilliant and statesmanlike or
ator heard in New York for years" "
Gov. VIM. Mckinley: zone Of the
most brilliant and beautiful speakers
] ever listened tor Hon. Benz. II.
| Hill, Uuited States senator: "He has
the finest gift of oratory ever heard
The fifth number of the course is a
lecture by Robert Mcintyre. Gen.
| Alger, ex-governor of Michigan and
! commander Of the G. A. r., says: 81
heard Robert McIntyre's war lec-
ture. 1t is a thrilling picture, and
will stir everyone fortunate enough
to hear it, And John A. Logan
wrote of him: "The lectures Of Rob-
ert Mcintyre are very fine. COM
mend them to all G. A. r. Posts as
inspiring and instructive"
The sixth and last entertainment
will be given by Leland 7. Powers,
the impersonator. Bishop Vincent
says: "The readings by Mr.. Leland
T. Powers, at Chautauqua this sea-
son, surpassed anything in the line
of elocutionary entertainment we
have ever enjoyed here. They have
been unique and brilliant New
York Tribune: "His impersonations
were wonderful. and called forth un-
stinted applause" Cleveland Plain
dealer: "Mr. Powess is whole com
pany rolled into one man. His work
is finished, forceful and magnetic"

Letter from Rev. F. w. Straw.

To THE EDITOR: / wish to write u
few words in commendation of the
lecture course, which has been ar
ranged by the Woman's Club of this
city, and of their enterprise in Sc
curing the class of talent they have
engaged. The attendance on the
lecture course last winter showed
that large number of our people
appreciate elevating entertainment.
The difficulty in arranging q course
is, that our people are not satisfied
with anything but the best talent.
While this speaks well for the taste
of the people, we can easily see how
hard it is to get such talent, on ac-
count of the expense, for good lect-
urers command large prices. In Sc
curing such speakers as DR.. Mcln-
tyre, Geo. Kennan and John Temple
Graves, the Woman's Club has made
it possible for us TO hear the best
speakers of the country without
leaving our city. ] mention these
three because of having heard them,
and consider those alone worth the
price of ticket for the entire course.
Nc doubt the others will give equal
ly good satisfaction. OF the remain
ing three; / know Of some larger cit
les which have gone wild over the
Couthoui concert company; Rev.
Baskerville, of Madison, told me he
had re-engaged j. Dewitt Miller for
this winter because his people were
so well pleased with him last season,
and Leland Powers has national
reputation. This is a course equal
to any which Platteville gives, but
which has not recently been at
tempted in our city. ] think none but
the ladies would have dared aim so
high, and hope they will be well
supported, so that a first-class lect-
ure course may become a yearly
matter in our city. 1t cannot help
but benefit Us. Il. w. STRAW.
