Lecture Course for the Coming Season.

Lecture Course for the Coming Season.
At meeting of the educational commit
tee of the Y NJ. c. A. Wednesday evening
the following list of attractions was de-
cided upon for the coming years course,
the dates and arrangements having been
made by DR.. Kirkland as a special sub
committee for that purpose: Oct. 20 the
Mozart symphony club of New York;
Nov. Is, John Temple Graves; Dec. IA,
Prof John Denote Of Bryn Mawr, Penn,
in his famous lecture, 1.-THE Harp of the
Senses, or the Secret of Character Build
ing" Jan. IA, A. c. Dixon, D. D., and in
February the noted reader, Prof. X. l..
Cumnock of Northwestern university.
The course has been mapped out with a
great deal of care and investigation. The
doctor feels it to be one that will give
greater satisfaction to the public than any
heretofore chosen. 1t is an expensive
course, and at the extremely low price OF
$50 without doubt much larger number
of season tickets will be sold than ever be-
fore. Previous years the price has been
81 and $3.50. DR.. Dixon was here in the
first Star course and had for his subject
backbone Denote was here in the
last course and gave his famous lecture
upon electricity, but all who have heard
the one chosen for this year concede thi:
to be even better than that. Both these
lectures pleased our audiences as well a;
any that we have had, and the committee
feel sure the other three attractions will &C
ahead of any similar ones given here.

 asked MT. Hill how the new machines for making round-rolled bales were work ing. and he replied that they have been improved until they are now absolutely perfect MT. c. F. Fentress Manager of the cotton warehouse at East St. Louis, was present while we were talking about the bales made by the machines of the American Cotton company, and he said there had been received yesterday by him the largest car load of cotton ever brought to this market-over 66 OO0 pounds. all in round-rolled bales. "One man." said MT. Fentress. "can handle one of the new bales, whereas it took two to move one of the old square bales. ["
 MT. Hill is operating three plants at present-two in West Tennes- see and one at Maiden, Mo, and all a three are turning out 4OO- pound round bales, the covering for which (burlaps) costs only IS cents a bale. as against $1 per bale under the old process, while the '.tare" does not exceed four pounds as against twenty two pounds by the old process, and if the 66,000 pounds just referred to as hay ing come to market in a single Illinois Central box car had been shaped and pressed in the old way no two cars owned by that company could have transportd it. And so it appears that the promised revolution in the cotton trade is now assured. ..kNsslIk4
