SCHOOL LECTURE COURSE

Again we come before the good peo-
PIE of Yale with five number lecture
course to be given under the auspices
of the high school and the proceeds if
any devoted to its interests. Even
though the profits from the course are
not large, we feel that the lecture
course brings TO our city series of en-
tertainments that are of high order
and source of both pleasure and prof
it to all classes. We should very much
dislike to get along without the course
and trust that its support this season
will be such as to warrant its continu-
ance. Before buying the present
course we consulted with n good mum
ber of citizens and aimed to secure tai
ent that had never appeared in Yale
and think we can assure you course
the equal, at least of any of its prede.

below some fairly representative esti-
mates of each number.
Eagle Bend Mimi News.-It was a
good sized and appreciative audience
that listened to the lecture by III. v.
Adams. Under the unique title
Grapes of Gold" the lecturer presented
philosophical but popular discussion
of the power of thought as it makes
for health, happiness and goodness.
For a consideration of so abstract
subject i'm a manner at once entertain
ing and instructive for all classes, the
lecture could not be surpassed. Mr.
Adams manner was free, his words
were well chosen, his stories new and
sparkling, well applied to simplify
some of the deeper truths presented.
For nearly two hours the audience lis
tened attentively without thought of
the flight of time. Everyone is looking
forward to Mr. Adams return for
another lecture.
Prof. n. w. Gaines, Louisville, Neb.-
Mr.. III. V. Adams gave Louisville the
greatest treat she eyer had. He's not
an orator-he's more. He's an enter
tainer, a lecturer, musician, who does
not sing or play and yet who causes
the harmony in the souls of his audi
tors to furnish them music. The name
Adams will always call up sweet re-
membranes in the minds of LOuisvil-
lians. You have a man in Adams who
would suit any audience on earth.
New Salem, O.-The Old Plantation
Male Quartette appeared here the even
ing of Nov. Sth Their work was the
most satisfactory of any number that
we have ever booked. Every man is
an artist. Their genial disposition and
willingness to respond to encores can
not fail to please. Curtis l.. Berry.
j. L. Stalker, Attorney, Clayton, ILL.,
| The lecture delivered at Clayton Opera
House by Mr.. Frank Mcclure Chaffee
is generally considered one of the most
delightful ever given here. This
speaks much for Mr.. Chaffee although
comparisons are odious--when we re-
fleet that some of the very best lectur-
ers on the platform have visited us.
lie is bright, scholarly, instructive, en-
tertaining. In making up another
course we hope Mr.. Chaffee will be in
cluded.
A. l.. Fillebrown, Pastor M. f..
church. A. B. Shepherd, Prin. Public
School, Woonsocket, :. Dat gives us
great pleasure to recommend the Bos-
tonia Trio. Each member is an artist
of the highest rank. The repetition of
their program called out a still larger
audience than greeted their first ap-
pearance. Every production called for
encores and all who heard them pro-
nOunced the entertainment the best
ever given in this city. We recon-
mend them to Assemblies and Chau-
tauquas as well as the usual lecture
courses for their programs are par ex-
cellence."
Concord, VT, Press-The entertain
ment given i'm the lecture course last
Wednesday night, which consisted. of
dramatic readings by Osceola Pooler,
was the best entertainment of the
course thus far, and exceeded anything
in that line ever given here. In her
presentation of the great drama, "lf /
Were King" she proved herself very
versatile indeed and held the audience
through the tragedy and romance of
the five acts by her clever impersona-
tions and charming personality. She
closed the entertainment with very
laughable selection which captivated
everyone.
Citizens season tickets will sell at
the usual price of 81 and students tick
cts at SOC. We shall sell single admis-
sion tickets to the lectures for 25c each,
not because we do not consider them
worth more, but to induce larger
number to attend and get the benefits
of these, the really strongest features
of any course. Single admission tick
cts to the Male Quartette and the Bos-
tonia Trio will be 35c each and to the
Pooler entertainment 30c.
Two numbers may be checked of on
