he visited Hannibal, his boyhood

Prominent on Lecture Platform.

Senator Tillman probably earns
more money every year on the lecture
platform than any other American
who talks to the public for pay. From
an authoritative source the statement
comes that the South Carolinian's net
proceeds thus far this year from his
lecture tour are $4,000. Senator Till
man is paid from $3.50 to $500 lee
ture and he is constantly in demand.
His season Is not confined to the sum-
merry ChautauQua course and he fills
nearly as many dates in the winter
rs at any other time Of the year. In
the last four years 1t is said that he
has laid aside over 100000 from his
lecture receipts. Henry Watterson
perhaps comes next in the matter of
earnings on the platform. Champ
Clark. of Missouri, ranks high as a
popular favorite and makes about
twice as much as lecturer as his con-
gressional salary.
