ministration's proceedings against the
beef trust" remarked Mr. Otto Gresham.
OF Chicago. a son of the late Walter Q.
Gresham. Secretary of State under
Cleveland. last night. Mr.. Gresham is
at the Arlington, with his mother. But
the Republican party will gain no
strength as result of its action against
the packers he added. unless some
definite result is achieved. Mere will
ingness will not count for much
The packers are apparently ready to
make long fight of 1t. and it promises
to be some time before the final points
come to an issue. The case will in
volve some OF the very points at issue
in the famous Debs contempt case.

Announcement.

There has been no entertainment
of recent years more successful In
satisfying the better class of lyceum
patrons than the Rogers. Grilley
Recitals. Their program has been
selected with especial care, and en-
braces what Is best and choicest In
the realm of literature and music.
They are both earnest students In
their respective lines, and their
many seasons experience with the
leading artists and combinations
has fitted them to give an enter
ment which Is not only artistic, but
at the same time highly entertain
Ing.
No adequate description can be
given of the beauties embodied In
the artistic rendition of gems of
literature when interpreted with the
accompaniment of the harp. The
instrument Is particularly adapted
to the human voice, and their Sc
lections givsn together produce an
impression which linger long In the
memory. 1t Is an intellectual en-
tertainment for quick-witted, broad
minde1, liberal, thinking, cultivated
audiences. An audience made up
of this class will thoroughly enjoy
an evening spent in their society.
This excellent troupe will be here
In the High School Lecture Course,

Poverty In Language.
From the Chtcaro Tribune

There is an intellectual poverty which
many people are suffering from and which
none Of the new educational theories seems
designed to alleviate. This is the poverty
of words, Of spoken words. Increase your
vocabulary" is one Of the first rules Of the
rhetorician. but he generally means the
written words, and be believes It would be
an artificial performance consciously to at
tempt to cultivate the art of conversation
AS a consequence of this neglect the college
graduate frequently makes but a poor
showing In conversation and reveals but
faint gltmpses OF the learning that Is sun
posed to lie behind his bald words. What
has been called the greatest line In English
literature relates to the isolation In which
each individual dwelis. to-
The unplumb'd, salt, estranging sea
that separates human beings. Bridges
might be built over this sea ii each indi-
vidual could cultivate vocabulary faith
full to the coioring Of his own Spirit and
designed to assist him in the midst of those
pathetic verbal fiounderings which is the
common spectacle in every day converse

Romantic History.

The romantic history of Iceland, its an
cient literature, the rude deeds Of valor OF
its heroes. the discoveries of its explorers
to whom America would have been so IN
debted If they had only established them
selves more firmly, or told the rest Of the
world what they had found. add vastly to
the interest Of journey to Iceland. In Wis
iting Thingvellie and some other spots one
feels almost as he does at Stratford or Bed
ford or in the lake district OF England; that
he Is on sacred soil. consecrated to great
names in song and story.
The people Of Iceland are good-hearted
polite, virile. primitive race. as becomes
their ancestry and their surroundings.
They wear few fine clothes but many Of
them are of nne lber. and. though very
poor as whole. with few resources In their
