Are Still the Most Popular Source
of Entertainment.
Rev. J. W. Taylor is arranging for
another lecture course to be given at
the Methodist church this winter. The
course given last year was a decided
success. The financial gain to the
church was fair. The educational feat
ures of the course were appreciated by
all who attended. There is still one
lecture due. that to be given by Bishop
Newman. Mr.. Taylor informs us that
Bishop Newman is still expected. and
all who hold tickets for his lecture will
be entitled to heal it.
The course to be given this winter
will be equal to that Of last winter, and
in some respects superior. Two new
lecturers and two who have lectured
here before have been secured by Mr..
Taylor.
President Frank Pierrepont Graves,
Phi. D., will appear for the first time in
this course, as a lecturer before a Lara
mie audience. Wherever DR.. Graves
has lectured throughout the state the
people have been delighted with him.
The short time DR.. Graves has been at
the head of the university, not only the
students but the citizens of Laramie
have come to esteem him very highly.
The people of the university city will
anticipate with pleasure hearing DR..
Graves in this course.
Rev. 7. C. nif, D. D., who opened the
course last winter has been placed up
on the course again. Many thought the
lecture given by DR.. Tiff last year the
best in the course. He certainly is a
charming lecturer and will be heard
with pleasure again.
Rev. George F. Hall. Phi. D., Of De-
catur, H., one Of the most popular lee
turers in the United States and who Is
employed by the Redpath Lyceum
bureau. will lecture some time in De
cember. DR.. Hall has written several
books, is a clear thinker and finished
scholar. He will deliver his famous
lecture, The New Woman"
OF course Chancellor Mcdowell has
been placed in the list with the above.
A cours Of lectures in Laramie with
out Chancellor Mcdowell would hard
ly be complete. 1t is with pleasure and
profit that a Laramie audience listens
to Denver University's popular chan
cellor.
What the musical attraction in the
course will be we are not yet able to
state. We are informed, however, that
arrangements are being made for one
Of the great vocal or instrumental
quartets OF Boston or Chicago to give
a recital in this course. Owing to the
great expense it is, Of course, impossi-
BILE to get such performers without they
are coming as far west as Denver or
going through to the coast.
These lectures will be given under
the auspices of the Epworth league.
Mrs. Frank Eggleston's progressive
euchre party last Saturday afternoon
was a merry affair, enjoyed by about
thirty ladies. A dainty lunch was serv-
ed and the fortunate winners carried
away beautiful tokens in hand painted
vases and ring stand.

Mr.. and Mrs. Campbell. Miss Howell

weather last Sunday by taking a wheel

enjoyed q musical and literary treat
last Wednesday evening at st. Mat
