Nelson A. Seymour, for many years

for the past nine years in charge of its
mechanical departments and foreman of
the Job department closed his labors
with this office Saturday night to the
genuine regret of the force" as "Nelse'
was one of the cogs in the machine and
prominent one too. While we regret
his departure we trust that success NAV
be- his in whatever line he may follow.
Mr.. Seymour is as yet undecided as to
his plans for the future but it is to be
hoped that he will not migrate to anv
great distance. The Register company
appreciates the many courtesies the
Office has received through the efforts of
Mr.. Seymour and trusts that the many
customers who have in the past been
served by him may continue to call
when in need of our services and we
shall try to serve them as conscientiously
as did Mr. Seymour.
OF the many attrac lions that the ladies
of the Century club have presented to
their patrons during the existence of the
club it is safe to say that the number par
excellence was that of the lecture of Rus
sell H. Conwell delivered at the opera
house on Thursday evening of last week
To say that Mr.. Conwell is a magnetic
speaker is stating it mildly and to say
that he has the courage of his convic-
tons is still milder assertion. He calls
spade a spade and his style of oratory is
not of the brand termed ver-tongued."
DIR. Conwell, taking for his theme "The
Silver Crown spoke for over an hour and
half. While his remarks were inter
spersed with sallics of wit wisdom pre-
vailed and although he found it impossi-
BILE to coincide with all, in many of his
views, his logic was by no means all
wrong. He was a past master of sar-
casm and while he introduced many
homely illustrations he also bore down
rather heavily upon scientific and pro-
fessional men which while pleasing many
was rather ludicrous to others. The
speakers fund of anecdotes was seeming
ly unlimited and they were all pat to the
occasion. DR.. Conwell presides over az
student body numbering about three
thousand and is the pastor of one of the
largest Baptist churches in Philadelphia
In addition to his duties as pastor and
president of an educational institution
he is delivering an average of 210 lectures
each year. He devotes the bulk of his
income to assisting young men to secure
educational advantages they are unable
to attain because of lack of funds.
