Washiugtonians do not hurry home
from work. If you are anybody at
all in Washington you must be leis-
urely. Only as tourist do you hurry,
and after a conductor has held you
at arms length when you are too
hasty in boarding or leaving a car
you begin to slow down, too. There
is no rush hour in Washington, and
there are cars enough to go around.
Likewise you can cross the street at
any point along the block without
danger of being run down, yelled at
Or told to ''step lively"

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 a 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,
its mystic ceremonies and have trans
mitted the mysterious powers of the
Aztec priests from one generation to
another since Coronado forced the mis-
sion priests upon them with fire aud
sword after the subjugation of Mexico
The lecture is profusely illustrated by
stereopticon slides and by the aid Of
a 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

TRIBE OF AMERICAN CLIFF

A unique and especially interesting

or cliff-dwelliig American Indians. The
difficulty of securing information upon
these secretive and peculiar tribes may

Few white men have been permitted to

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 van
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,
culiar communal dwellings on the high
cliffs and kept their tribal integrity
handed down the mysterious powers
of the Aztec priesthood, preserved their
ancient arts as potters, weavers and
tillers of the soil. The Pueblo Indian
is vestige of the first real civiliza,
ton on this continent. His knowledge
is that of the earlier time, his life as
nearly as may be that of his ancestors

Jesuits first entered what is now New

REV. S. PARKEs 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 a Brooklyn church, which
in its entirety counts thirty-five hun
bred people in its membership. DR..
Cadman has occupied this prominent
and responsible pastorate for term of
seven years, or since his thirty-siXth
year. He has been a notable figure as
a thinker and pulpit orator ever since
he was 90 In a 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.

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-
lure, an actual farmer with an experts
tage of all the theory of the schools
and who had made practical success
in actual farm work, standing in his
own pillow shoes. To supply this need,
DR.. II. 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
a 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 a practical way.

THOMAS BROOKS FLETCHER

is new man who grew into public
knowledge and appreciation from his
first appearance. He is a new man and
a 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 a lecture
platform.
Fletcher is, when all has been said,
simply Fletcher. He is an enthusiast
as we'll as a thinker, an idealist with
faith in the ideal. He has never been
an experiment, but a product in pro-
cess or finishing to plan. He believes
with complete conviction and asserts
with complete courage He believes in

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 fill the
college auditorium to standing room,
the president said: "Here is a 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

Fletcher.
Three great subjects have beer
wrought into as many great lectures

their titles suggest somewhat of the
virility of their authors thought ant

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 it's great govern
nor. Gov. Hoch comes to the platform
with a 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.

this association and DR.. Will have
urged, pleaded and pointed out the need
and remedy. Fence posts have become,
so scarce and costly that farmers are
turning reluctantly to steel and cement.
Lumber has gone so high that good
frame houses are the perquisites of the

the Yellowstone magnificent waterways
offer water transportation. That we
have at last turned to consider is due
primarily to the agitation created and
kept alive by the American Forestry
Association.

worked so hard and accomplished so
much, will appear at our coming Chau-
tauqua in an illustrated lecture which
will explain what Roosevelt and the

WHICH THE BETTER PLANe

The Redpath Chautauqua System, as
the Incorporation which will put in the
1908 Chautauqua in this city is called,
is an instance Of brains, energy and
capital. May reduce cost while raising
the standard of products. Hundreds Of
public-spirited citizens in Missouri and
elsewhere know how the management

must do the work. Thousands will re-.
call the regretful twinge that came
with the call to make good the deficit
they had personally guaranteed. The

part of the Chautauqua to keep up
with the demand.
1t brings to Chautauqua program and
management years of expert experience.
the ability to make long contracts with
talent, the skill to place this talent in
its proper place for the best results. 1t
makes the cost of Chautauqua the
price of a season ticket to the indi-
