 The opening lecture given under the auspices of the New Haven University extension and Yale university will be given this evening in Woolsey hall by Dr. Russell H. Conwell, the famous pas tor of the Baptist temple in Philadel- phia, The title of the lecture is The Silver Crown" and Dr. Conwell him self considers 1t to be his best and most popular lecture. Those who have heard this lecture say that 1t fairly sparkles with wit and humor, and holds the at- tention of every listener
 Dr. Conwell is known as one of the most famous orators of the present time, in fact many of his fervent ad- mirers say that he is combination of Henry Ward Beecher, John B. Cough and Wendell Phillips, and lie has cer- ' tainly many if not all of the fascinat- | ing and wonderful qualities of those orators of the last generation. He is more sought after and has larger au- diences than any man on the lecture l platform to-day
 | The lecture which he delivered in the ] university course last year, Acres of Diamonds" was of such intense and thrilling interest that it held his hear CTS spellbound for full two hours, not a single person leaving the hall, and the many who heard him in Acres of Dia- l monds' will welcome his appearance in his new lecture, "The Silver Grown"
 Dr. Conwell has the largest Baptist l temple in the United States, holding from $500 to 4,OO0 persons, and when he breaches there, it is crowded to the very doors, and when he lowers his voice 10 make some passage more inn I pressive the silence of the vast audience is so profound that you can almost hear a pin drop. The crowds which have attended Dr. Conwells lectures in other cities have induced the committee on the lecture course to hold this lecture II Woolsey hall, believing that the op- portunity of hearing an orator and preacher of international reputation will fill Woolsey hall Dr. Conwell i! known in his home in Philadelphia, moi only as a famous preacher, but also a, { q phianthropist, in fact the entire pro. eeeds of his lectures are given away ir charity He has been on the lecture platform forty years, and has probably addressed more people than any other living man, averaging 200 lectures z year, besides preaching to the thou sands who throng his church on Sun days and addressing the largest con yentions that assemble in America.
