70 listen to Miss Sherry in her
domestic science work This is
"ne of the interesting parts of
the chautauqua work. The
afternoon program was begun
bv the Hungarian Orchestra,
who again pleased Tho audience
with their rendition of \ Various
selections. The Icclnro given
by DR.. Herbert was given close
attention and seemed To please
those IN attendance. OF course
the weather was rather threat
ening at the afternoon session,
but even then. there was a fair
attendance. DIR. Herbert is q
speaker of force and power. He
will be heard again tonight.
The evening program was
oneof unusual interest. The
Hungarian organic ation gave
their final concert to a packed
tent. All of their numbers
were greeted with anp'ause
and it is With sincere re.r-a'-
that we part with them. Their
manager stated yesterday that
it is his intention to make ;n
engagement for sometime this
coming winter at the local cp-
era house; and we believe they
could pack the building with
their admirers. The Cavenv
Company, consisting of Mr.. ard
Mrs. J. Franklin Caveny. were.
then announced and delighted
the audience for more than an
hour. Mr.. Caveny in his chalk
talks or crayon work, made a
| big hit with the audience both
for his skillwith the crayon and
with his jokes. Mrs. Caveny
sang several songs, which were
very appropriate and we'll re-
ceived. 1t was so late before
Mr.. Caveny had finished his
work in clay modelling that he
did not attempt the impersona-
tions as expected, but we will
say the evening was one of
pleasure to all.

quick TO lay many of our misfortunes
to our color. But my friends, it is
not that, that makes our progress SO

than the Negro.

JUDGE TAFTS GOLF.
It's Not Only a Weight Redueer,
but His HObby.
By Walden Fawcett.

Ever since William Howard Taft was nom,
mated for President and from an earlier date
he has been looking forward to the present
month of August For Judge Taft August spells
both rest and recreation, or as close an approach
to it as any Presidential candidate has any right
to expect, and Mr.. Taft has felt the need Of a
genuine vacation for some time Although he
handles big tasks more easily than most pub
lie men, a year of interspersed globe trotting
and political activity has sapped the biz
Ohioan's energies to some extent Moreover
he has all along realized that he must fortify
himself for a strenuous two months beginning
September i.
1t is not that Judge Taft has always had
August set aside on his calendar as the vaca-
ton month On the contrary. during much Of
his public career. and particularly during re-
cent summers, when President Roosevelt desig-
mated him to hold down the lid" at Washing
ton. he has found it necessary to take his an
nuaI vacation when opportunity offered The
point is though that Mr. Taft has always had
the vacation habit, and he has no intention Of
departing from custom in this the most active
wear of his career, so far. AS soon as a date
late in July was officially selected for the for
NAL notification ceremonies Judge Taft an
nounced his decision to keep the thirty-one days
of August clear Of important engagements and
to devote the interval to genuine relaxation
and incidentally to a course Of athletic training
intended to reduce his weight

Totem Poles VIII Point Way.

Special Correspondence to the Herald.
Seattle, June, 3G,-An entrance
such as no other Worlds Fair ever
had for its gaiety boulevard has
been planned for the Pay Streak at
the Alaska Yukon Pacific exposition
which will be held at Seattle in
1909. Totem poles and modern
adaptation of the architectural
style of China and Japan will con-
stitute the principal features of the
entrance.
The Pay Streak is the name of
the amusement avenue of the Paci
fic Worlds Fair, corresponding to
the Midway at Chicago, the Pike at
st. Louis, the Trail at Portland and
the Warpath at Jamestown. The
approach to the Pay Streak will be
in the form of exact reproductions
of famous totem poles. There will
be line on each side of the avenue.
At night the eyes and grinning
mouths will be Illuminated by
electric lights, which will produce
an odd effect. The actual entrance
will be a grand archway of a com
Lination of Japanese and Chinese
architecture.
