Schoonmaker's Lecture.

The first of the course of three lee
lures to be delivered here under the
management of the Thomas Lyceum
Bureau, of San Francisco, was deliv-
cred by Hon. F. X. Schoonmaker, of
Plainstield, New Jersey, last Tuesday
evening.
Thesubject was 'China, The Shadow
of the World, " and for two hours and
fifteen minutes the learned gentleman
furnished palatable intellectual food for
his large audience. Those who were
present did eat and were filed. The
absent ones will never know how much
they missed. The lecture was fully up
to expectations, which were on stills.
Mr.. Schoonmaker is good thinker
and fluent talker. The people of
Jackson we're well pleased and hope to
hear him again some time.
A pleasant feature of the evening
was the graceful introduction of the
scholar by Senator John F. Davis.
