Whitney Brothers Quartette and Reader

Whitney Brothers Quartette and Reader
AS announced in last week REG.
IsTER, fine series of lectures and en-
tertainments have been arranged for
the season of 10000 by the Shep-
herd College lecture management.
The names and dates of the season s
attractions follow:
Whitney Brothers Quartette and
Reader, November Is.
Gov. Bob Taylor, Lecture, Decem-
Der s.

Reader, January II.
The Floyds, Magic, Mind-Reading
ETC., February 2.
DR.. Guy Carleton Lee, Lecture,
April II.
AS noted above, the Whitney Broth
ers Quartette and Reader appear on
November Is, as the first attraction.
Judging from the statements of the
Central Lyceum Bureau management
and from press comment, this must be
a very fine organization, pleasing
their audiences not only by their su'
perb singing, but also by the excel
lent readings by one of their number,
Edwin NJ. Whitney. The Buffalo
Courier says of them "The Whitney
Brothers concert last evening carried
one of the largest audiences OF the
season by storm. The four brothers
are magnificent specimens OF young
manhood. They are all fine singers,
each perfectly adapted to his part
The whole concert was pronounced
success" The LIE Roy News says
among other things: "lt is seldom, il
ever, that one hears programme oil
such variety and excellence. " The
Danvers MASS Mirror says: 1.-The
concert was a delight from beginning
to end, and the voices are ofthe same
quality, which blend beautifully.
Of Edwin NJ Whitney, the reader,
the Belmont Bulletin says: ITO say
that his readings and representations
pleased would be to express it too
mildly = He took the audience
by storm, being recalled again and
again" Henry L. Southwick, Dean
of Emerson College of Oratory, Bos-
ton, of which Mr.. Whitney is grad
uate, writes of him He possesses
remarkable power as character ar
fist, is decidedly original, and leads
his hearers from the grave to the gay,
with equal power.
Season tickets for the season s
course of FIVE numbers will be sold to
the general public by students OF
Shepherd College, at the rate of 81
50 each The admission charge for
any Individual attraction in the
course will be so cents for adults and

If President Roosevelt is bitten by

surrounding the bite will be cut out

effectually prevent incubation, should
the mosquito be one of the yellow te-

that such drastic measures will be
necessary, for every precaution will
be taken to prevent the president
getting bitten, but if a mosquito does
land on him he and DR.. Rixley are

From information cleaned from a

traffic, and an engineering expert was
sent here to make observations. His
report evidently satisfied the officials,

at the time. The low condition OF
