The Newtown bee., 1898-10-28

when he drew each evening full house |
and all who then heard him, most kindly |
remembered him. But this time, for |
some unknown reason. he did not draw |
the crowd. His lectures last week were |
very thinly attended and the entire week
passed without seeing anything like one
good audience. The writer considered it
shame on the part of the public In not
approaching man like Prof Bsteman,
who IL fluent, almo't eloquent, in lau-
guage, rich in knowledge of men and the
world, as he has extensively travelled in
this and foreign lands and is DESTROYS of
impartng very cheaply his information
| tn the rest Of the world so far as his
voice and portraits and knowledge reach
| them. Your correspondent sincerely
hope he may find In no other place visit
ed an audience so small as greeted him
him here, nor proceeds accordingly so
| light, but wish him the best of success
still In his laudable undertaking and pro
| fession. His last lecture here on Satur-
dav evening upon the Lost Arts" was
considered his best effort. However only
81 were present to listen to it.
