REV. s. PARKzs cADMAN, D. D.

The Chautauqua management takes
extreme pride, and pleasure, in pre-
senting to it's clientele, Rev. S. Parkes
Cadman, D. D., universally conceded
here and in Europe to be the peer of
the most gifted and eloquent preachers
and platform orators of our time. He
comes from Brooklyn church, which
in its entirety counts thirty-five hun
dred people in it's membership. DR..
Cadman has occupied this prominent
and responsible passionate for term of
seven years, or since his thirty sixth
year. He has been notable figure as
thinker and pulpit orator ever since
he was 90. In brief notice little can
be conveyed of the rare depth and pow
er of this most. remarkable man. He
combines with a very thorough scho-
lastic training an unusual gift of the
highest kind of eloquence. His grasp
upon facts and principles, his apt and
incisive way Of putting things, and his
occasional bursts into rhythmic and
beautiful speech, make him one of the
foremost Chautauqua speakers of the
age Indeed, many claim he stands at
the top. He will prove to be better
than any statement that can be made
of him.

GOV. E. W. HocH, OF KANSAS.

In this day, when great states de-
mand great governors and when gov
ernors represent the political morality
of states, none stand higher than the
State Of Kansas and its great govern
nor. Gov. Hoch comes to the platform
with message from Kansas, the state
where the invincible oil monopoly met
unconquerable and successful opposi-
tion. While men look for advanced
legislation in the interests of all peo-
pie, they look toward Kansas, and the
central figure Of Kansas is Hoch, twice
nominated by reclamation, the cham
pion of all that has made Kansas a
model of advanced ideas in legislation.
No man stands higher in the middle
west in public esteem, ranks higher
as a reformer or surpasses the Kansas
governor in oratory or debate. He
talks straight from the shoulder" and
is rated as the most effective public
speaker Of the state. His message
from Kansas is one to stir the blood
and bring results. Every friend of
good government and higher ideals of
citizenship should receive it.

PROF. H. P. MILLER.

In this day of short courses and
farmers institutes, it was the idea Of
the Redpath Chautauqua System to
bring to the agriculturalists and the
communities most interested in agricul-
ture, an actual farmer with an experts
training, man who had taken adyan-
tage OF all the theory of the schools
and who had made a practical success
in actual farm work, standing in his
own plow shoes. To supply this need,
DR. 81. P. Miller, Of Sunbury, Ohio, has
been selected from among all the names
of men most worthy to be considered.
DIR. Miller early realized that the
farm and the animals upon it afforded
field for the largest application of
the sciences taught in the colleges, and
pursuant to that thought, he spent
eight years in colleges winning the COZ
lege degrees, Master of Science and
Doctor of Veterinary Medicine. He
shipped his trunk directly from college
to the farm he has ever since called
home and devoted himself to it as
though he expected always to remain
there.
He will present "The Economical
Feeding Of Animals" using charts to
make clear the comparative value of
feeds, and deal with the problems Of
the farm from the farmers standpoint
in practical way.

MAJOR GEO. L. COLE.


One of the most attractive numbers
of the course is the lecture on Pueblo
Indians by Geo. l.. Cole, an ethnologist
of high repute, who has devoted a
quarter of century to the study Of
the practically unknown cliff dwelling
tribes of this continent. Information
as to the manners, religion, peculiar
rites and ceremonies of the cliff DWELL
ers is hard to obtain and dangerous to
promulgate. His lecture is an absorb
ing relation of actual experiences
among these peculiar tribes, which have
kept alive the ancient Aztec religion.

United the mysterious powers of the
Aztec priests from one generation to
another since Coronado forced the mis-
sion priests upon them with fire and
sword after the subjugation Of Mexico.
The lecture is profusely illustrated by
stereopticon slides and by the aid Of
band of ten male and female Pueblos
who appear upon the platform.
Outside of their sternly guarded
secret societies DR.. Cole is probably the
best and most intimately informed man

AMERICAN MOVING PICTURES.

Mr.. Robert Goss, accompanied by
Miss Bartell, pianist and singer, con-
stitutes the American Moving Picture
Company. Mr.. Goss is among the most
expert picture operators in the world.
His equipment is Of the latest. He
produces the best pictures and uses the
most desirable subjects. No others are
like his, entirely free from flicker or
Objectionable features. He represents
the present limit Of the pictorial art in
his line.
This year Mr.. Goss comes direct from
New York City with the latest illus,
everything new and the best that can
be obtained. Joined to new illustrated
songs by Miss Bartell, Mr.. Goss' enter
tainment is one of the most pleasing
and popular of evening entertainments.

THOMAS BROOKS FLETCHER

Is a new man who grew into public
knowledge and appreciation from his
first appearance. He is q new man and
big one. There is no doubt that this
man is one Of the greatest orators and
thinkers with one of the greatest mes
sages ever delivered from lecture
platform.
Fletcher Is, when all has been said,
simply Fletcher. He is an enthusiast
as well as a thinker, an idealist with
faith in the ideal. He has never been
an experiment, but product in pro-
cess Of finishing to plan. He believes
with complete conviction and asserts
with complete courage. He believes in
himself. At college he devoted part
of each day to practicing oratory and
his system was lampooned in the COL
lege periodical. When four years after
graduation he came back to ill the
college auditorium to standing room,
the president said: "Here is man who
is already bringing renown to our col
lege and his success is based on two
things ability and grit" He left his
| work on a newspaper because it re-
fused him the privilege to disturb con-
ditions which called for reform. He
quit. II have only few brain con-
volutions," said he, "but 1 want them
for my own use. l can't be faithful to
a newspaper corporation when its edi-
torial and commercial ethics conflict
| with my own. Therefore 1 owe it to
them to quit. I am going to quit un.
til can have a newspaper of my own
and until that time will go on the
plstform, where men are free" That's
Fletcher.
Three great subjects have beer
wrought into as many great lectures
by the man. "The Martyrdom Of
Fools" "The Modern Judas" and
Tragedies Of the Unprepared," by
their titles suggest somewhat of the
virility Of their authors thought and
speech.

TRIBE OF AMERICAN CLIFF
DWELLERS.

A unique and especially interesting
feature offered this season by the Red
path System is a camp of ten Pueblo
or cliff-dwelling American Indians. The
difficulty Of securing information upon
these secretive and peculiar tribes may
be quickly understood by anyone who
will refer to the very limited data
furnished by the best encyclopedias
Few white men have been permitted to
share their secrets or observe their
lives. To bring representatives abroad
from them is a task requiring the ut.
most tact and efforts. Ten of these
people, five male and five female, will
be on the Chautauqua grounds, display
their arts Of weaving, pottery, ETC., and
the home life of the Pueblo. They will
be used in the evening to illustrate the
lecture by the well-known ethnologist,
Geo. L. Cole.
These Indians are not to be confused
with the ordinary American Indian
tribes. They represent real and vau-
ished civilization and have been con-
sidered by chronological experts as de-
scendants of the first aborigines, the
moundbuilders and the ancient Aztecs.
They have preserved their ancient arts
and religion. Never warriors except in
defense they have lived in their pc.

cliffs and kept their tribal integrity

JUDGE BEN B. LINDSEY.

That the Redpath Chautauqua Sys-
tenn is able to again present Judge Ben
B. Lindsey, of Denser, to Chautauqua
audiences, is matter for mutual con-
graduation No attraction is in greater
demand and few lecturers have less
available time to give the Chautauqua
platform. Judge Lindsey is as popular
abroad as among the newsboys and
children of the underworld of Denver.
He is live wire of feeling and ut
terance, a hater Of graft and sham and
a champion Of the square deal for
everyone. His words drop white not
from the crucible Of his intense desire
to protect and defend child life and
politics, civic and general, from the
lknave and the CRATER.
Judge Lindsey is the best known jli-
venile judge in the world. He repre-
sents new idea in action. Unpur-
chaseable and unafraid, the dive keep
ers of Denver fear him. Denied re-
nomination as county and juvenile judge
by his own party, the newsboys of the
city of Denver banded together aud
marched through the streets in public
protest. The forces of decency awolie
and the man who had written into the
law that the keeper Of wine room
should be responsible for the ruin oi
girls and children and who had made
that law living force for reform and
a terror to evil men in the city OF
Denver, was triumphantly reelected
Lindsey's no pounds of energy is OF

fers some idea Of the demands made
upon his time and strength, and gives a
glimpse into his immense popularity.
With no lecturer does personality
count for more. No other has greater
and more comprehensive grasp of the
great questions of the day. He is the
personal friend Of practically all the
prominent men who are doing things in
social reform, knew the great writers
and reformers Of third of a century
ago as he does those Of the present,
and is thus equipped with a fund Of
incident and anecdote out OF the wealth
Of an experience such as few Others
have known.

ed States navy. AS BELTS his record,
his plea is for wider patriotism and
for American supremacy. Six feet in
stature, deep chested and broad of
shoulder, Hobson is physically, as in
tellectually, a type of the best Ameri-
canism. He is persuasive and mag
;netic, deeply imbued with his subject,
a full man and true American. Those
who hear him are anxious for his re-
call. Those who fail have much to re
greet. Captain Hobson is one of the
most sought of chautauqua speakers
and the Redpath System presents him
with confidence to the most critical OF
its patrons.
