A new departure for the Assembly are
the series of talks given in the woman's

each day by Miss Eliza Burleigh of the
Sanitarium who will give series of in
formal talks on Proper Foods and Hy-

ance here on Saturday.
Yesterday Miss Burleigh spoke upon
the Preparations of Grains" and DR..
Riley lectured upon alcohol and Its
Effect Upon the Body" and both at.
tracted much attention.
In the afternoon in the auditorium.
Rev. Thomas Malone, of Denver, lee
tured upon "Socialistic Fallacies." His
lecture was an eloquent statement of the
fallacles and dangers of the socialistic
movement and stirring plea for the
government against the forces that
threaten it.
At4 D. 1n, in the Woman's Council,
large crowd gathered to hear Mrs. Sher-
woods lecture on "The Value of Art in
Education" The pavilion was decor.
ated with flowers and greens and hung
with pictures representing the highest
types OF Motherhood. Art, Sculpture.
Mrs. Sherwood is firm believer in what
she calls Unconscious impressions" and
believes that the higher ideals of child
are greatly influenced by the objects that
surround him. She made an earnest
plea for the school rooms decorated with
the highest type of art, and urged the
of the mothers of pupils in
this matter.
One of the brightest events of the day
was the Round Table question box in
charge of the Chautauqua favorite, DR..
Homer T. Wilson. His questioners were
merciless. They asked the unlucky man
whom he considered the "handsomest
woman on the grounds" to which he 10y
ally replied, "Mrs. Homer T. Wilson.
They enquired it he believed in woman's
suffrage, and he looked around on the
ranks of Colorado women present and
meekly replied that he did. They asked
him what would be the improvements at
the Chautauqua next year and then he
scared. He prophesied everything from
a ten story hotel to. natatorium, llber-
al arts building, and in short any and
eyery improvement known to the sons OF
man, It is believed that he has by this
time recovered sufficiently to be able this
morning to deliver his famous lecture on
"America's Uncrowned Queen" |
Last evening in the auditorium Edwin
Barker made one of the hits of the sea-
son with his synopsis of David Copper
field. which was arranged by Mr.. Barker
who seems to have keptin mind the fact
that it was to be heard by those who had
not read the play. The story of little
Em'ly's fight and the characters of Uirah
Heep and Micawber were given with
true sympathy and wonderful power.
Mr.. Bakers originality OF method and
power Of expression place him in the
foremost ranks of dramatic art. He will
this afternoon give the play LEND Me
E.v, ch;l1in0s" which has been made
