SUNDAY

Sunday, the closing day of cur
second annual Chautauqua
brought one of the largest crowds
of the entire assembly. The
weather was perfect and each
train brought many visitors from
our neighboring towns, until at
the hour tor the opening of the
program several thousand people
were on the grounds.
The very best of talent had
been reserved for that day and all
were eager for the opening num-

was held In wrapt attention from
start to finish. 1t is to be hoped
that Mr.. Camp can be obtained
for the program next year.
The evening was given over to
the LaDe1l-Fox Co., who gave
quite an extended program. Miss
LABEL is a reader of reputation
and was forced to respond to sew
eral encores. Her child work is
especially fine. George Fox is
master of the violin. He gave
several splendid selections which
were of rare merit. The vocalist
Miss Bertha Crawford sings with
splendid expression and has a de-
lightful soprano voice of great
range and sweetness. AL were
sorry when this splendid musical
program was brought to a close.
FRIDAY
Notwithstanding the extreme
heat on Friday afternoon, the ia
bernacle was comfortably filled at
the opening of the program.
Those assembled were first enter
tanned by the speakers in the w.
C.. II. u. contest. This was a
feature unexpected and proved
very entertaining, as each young
lady presented her subject in
splendid style. Then followed a
short prelude by Smith & Gorton
in clay modelling,
Rev. Sam Small was introduced
at 3 o'clock and held his audience
in close attention for more than
an hour in his presentation of
"Pis Majesty, the Devil. He
showed them the devil in his diff
ferent phases and explained who
he was, what he was, where he is
found, closing his remarks by
saying there is no such person as
the devil, but that the picture we
have had of him was formed by
the priests of olden times and
should be discarded as a supersti-
ton. His lecture was exception
ally good and greatly enjoyed.
In the evening Smith & Gorton
the Imperial Entertainers gave a
splendid exhibition of their abil-
ity in Rotations, representations,
sand etchings, clay modelling, etc,
which was very fine and proved
one of the most entertaining fea-
lures of the entire assembly.
A pleasing feature not on the
program for Friday, was the ad-
dress before the teachers insti-
tute by Father LOhren of Daw-
son, on "Some things to think
about and things to do" 1t
was both instructive and help
full. Among other good things
Father Lohren said:

Mr. Jacob Benedict made a short
speech In which he advocated the CO.
operation of the teachers, and showed
how teachers In Chicago had urcov-

expressed hope that Paducah should

the opposite party.
''Great and sinister moneyed inter-
ests which have shown such hostili-
ties to the administration and now
to Taft. have grown to oppose the ad-
ministration on various matters not
connected with those which mark the
real point of difference. For instance
the entire agitation over the Browns
Vile affair was in a large part not a
genuine agitation on behalf of the
icolored men at all, but merely on
phase of an effort by representatives
of certain law-defying corporations to
bring discredit upon the administra.
ton because it was seeking to cut OUT
the evils connected, not only with
corrupt alliance between certain bust.
ness men of large fortunes. but GER.
tain politicians of great Offices.
1.-The venomous hostility of these
Interests and of their special repre-
sentatives in public life and in the
press to the nomination of Taft, was
merely a natural sequence of their
hostility TO measures OF the admins
tration for regulation OF great corpor-
atoms doing interstate business, and
to the attitude of the administration
in consistently prosecuting all Of
Tenders of great wealth. precisely as
II has prosecuted all other offenders.
