 Rev. Joseph Cooke and wife, who have been visiting here several weeks, left Thursday for Boston, where they will spend the winter. They nave visit ed Mrs. Cookes parents Mr. and Mrs Willis Hemingway MT. Cooke is much better than when he came from his home in Ticonderoga, N. Y, the sniff of fox loJa 1, able to ride, and also walk out nearly every day during his stay. MT. Cooke, as is well known, is a prominent iec- turer having been in the lecture field exclusively for a number of years. It is long time since he was here last and on that occasion lectured to a crowded house in the large First church. For number of years he gave sthe Monday midday lecture to business men in Fremont Temple Ros- ton, and always had a large number of hearers. He will not be able to do any work this year, but hopes to begin lec- turing again next year, if his health continues to improve. MT Cooke pos sessed a. strong and vigorous constitu- ton, great endurance and capacity for long continued work, but this &C., tivity in the lecture field and the labor of preparing new lectures, completely broke him down, compelling a complete relinquishment of all his engag agements. He was taken i'll in Japan, and al- though it was a severe journey for so sick a man. he was brought to the United States and for several months rested at the sanitarium in Clifton Springs, N. Y, later going to his home at Ticonderoga, N. Y. His many friends would be glad to learn of his complete restoration to health. CONCERT AND PROMENADE
