CHAUTAUQUA.
Rev. Price Writes Graphically Of
this Celebrated Region.

What word! What a place!
What an ideal
The word Chautauqua is said to
be an old Indian word, and means
"the bag tied in the middle" 1t
is the name of a lake IN the ex-
treme Western part of New York
State. The lake is about twenty
miles long and an average width
of three miles; but in the center
OF the lake there is a contraction
to one fourth of mile and a twist
which makes it look very much
like "a bag tied in the middle"
The place is wonderful and Guar
ming. 1t is distant from Lake
Erie only eight miles, yet it is S77
feet higher than Lake Erie. IL is
l450 feet above the level of the sea
1l50 feet higher than Saratoga, l,
800 feet higher than Lake Cham
plain, and 1900 feet higher than
Lake George. In fact it is the
highest navigable lake in the Uni
ted States except Lake Tahoe; in
California.
The landscape is beautiful; the
Lake glinting in the sunlight and
ripping TO the breeze is untiring
to the eye. The gently undulat-
ing hills are beautifully vsriegated
with faral and forest. The atmos-
phere is a tonic. Hence Chautau-
qua, with its delightful calm, it,
restful landscape, its majestic for
ests, its bracing air, its natural re-
pose, its sweet quistude, is an ideal
summer resort.
| 1t is a city in the midst of for
ey u has magnificent hotels and
halls, and school buildings, and
several hundred beautiful cottages
many of them four stories high
and capable Of accommodating
from fifty to hundred boarders,
and yet all these buildings are in
the midst of forest Tall trees
of beech, maple, chestnut, hem
lock, linden and hickory jut right
up against the houses and line the
streets and fill every vacancy. 1t
is a university as well. 1t has nu
merous school and college build
ings and probably forty courses oil
study are now in active operation.
You can get any course you want,
from cooking and farming up to
astronomy aud Greek. 1t is also a
clearly place. The sanitary con-
ditions are excellent. Wire bask-
cts line the grounds and you are
requested to put all refuse in the
baskets.
Nothing Intoxicating IS allowed
to be sold in the assembly grounds
No dancing halls or gaming tables
are permitted.
They have a variety of amuse-
ments for the young people, but
they are all under the direction of
Christian'men and women. A high
class of people attend Chautauqua
people of culture and refine
ment. The people are sociable
and mutually helpful Over $4,000
visited Chautauqua last year and
there were 200 pupils in the vari-
Gus schools.

qua Idea" next time.

OF course the wealth of these
towns is the cattle trade. General

these concerns must be enormous

much interest. An army post was
esta blished there in 1854. AT the
outset of the civil war the post
was abandoned, but was re-estab-

In 1889 the garrison was reno

since been a civilian town, All
the buildings of the post are yet
standing. The officers quarters

red sandstone. l was told that in
its military era the population of
the town ran into the thousands,
and at one time it contained four

the saloon was formally abolished
