THE BARBARY COAST.
Mr.. Holmes Lecture on Cities That

A Delightful Subject Charmingly Pre-
sented by Word ana Pictures.

The illustrated lecture of Il. Burton
Holmes at Infantry hall last evening
was certainly one Of the most delightful
in the series SO far, and perhaps one of
the greatest CAUSES for this delight was
created by the fact that Mr.. Holmes told
his hearers Of the charms and history of
a land which is practically unknown,
except 10 the close student of the history
of the present century. The subject OF
the Iecturs was, "Cities Cf the Barbary
Coast, From Algiers the White, TO Con.
stsntine the wonuerful.
Mr. Holmes commencsd bis le3ture by
stating that the lands that lie between the
Mediterranean and the Great Sahara arc

mountain villages OF habylia and the
of the beauty, the Iioturasquen,s and
the impressiveness of the Baibr ry coast.
