will be as near perfection as art and
skill and lavish expenditure of money
can lake them.
DR.. Emerson of the Emerson School Of
Oratory SAYS of Mr.. Lewis: He is a
great man-great in body, great in
brain, great in heart, great in soul.
These gifts, brought well nigh to pertec-
tion by years OF culture and practice,
have made him the finest product OF
civilization, great orator"
The Troy Times has the following
notice of the lecture:
"The wonderful views Of the great
northwest were faithfully portrayed and
made doubly attractive by the gift of
perfect description possessed by DR..
Lewis. The views were beautifully pre-
sented and were through a vast section
OF country famous for its scenic beauty.
The wonderful railroad, mammoth rocks
and trees, and the mighty glaciers were
faithfully given"
Tickets to this illustrated lecture are
sold at 25 cents.

banks, Mr.. and Mrs. w. P. Stafford and
Mrs. B. G. Howe, acting chairman of the
social committee.
A pleasant feature Of the evening was
the greetings given to former residents OF
the town and to manv young men and
young ladies who were home for their
holiday vacation. During the entire
evening an orchestra rendered varied
selections which every one enjoyed.
In the banquet hall were prettily ar
ranged tables, and in social groups the
company were served to coffee, ice-cream
and cake. Mrs. Agnes Blodgett, Mrs.
Fannie Woods, Miss Annie Ide and Miss
Elsie Ranney served at the ice cream

An Enjoyable Entertainment.

Those who go to Music Hall on Thurs
day evening will be sure to be entertain
ed by Leland T. Powers, the unexcelled
impersonator. He gives the best part of
Lord Chumley" and introduces into the
sketch 10 characters. Mr.. Powers is no
stranger here and he has often delighted
our audiences with his clever work. He
does his best work in this play which Mr..
Southern has made famous and it is full
of humorous situations. How anyone
can change his appearance so easily
without making any change OF costume
is one of those xplicabe things that
Mr.. Powers can do and do well. OF his
impersonation of Lord Chumley" the
Providence Journal says:
Certainly nothing more genuinely
funny has been seen here than his delinea-
ton of"Lord Chumley" and the adven-
lures through which he is made to pass.
1t is not in the broad differentiation OF
the character represented that Mr..
Powers exercises the subtlest form oi
his art, but in the minor touches, the in.
finite variety of expression, the wonder.
iul play OF feature, the suggestive pose
the always appropriate and never exag
gerated gesture. He throws off and puts
on the characters with the ease that goes
with removing and replacing ones hat
and in an instant OF time he is this, thai
or the other as he chooses. 1t is per
tormance that must be seen to be appre
ciated. The audience wer every demon
strative, and justly so.

it had been her object to prove that too
much was being done for the Indian, and
that that branch of the missionary work

could be curtaiied. Instead of this. how
ever. she found the needs of the people
greater than she had supposed, and she

which were unknown to her. but which
were beneficial. One thousand FIVE hun
