i Men of Smelter City In
Entertaining Manner

| w. E. Fenno of New York delivered
his first address yesterday afternoon
in the Orpheum theater His audi
| ence was composed of over one nun
| dred men who gave the very best at.
| ten ton while Mr.. Fenno spoke to
them on the topic, cover the Falls. .
Preceding his address C. E. Bucn,
ner of the Bisbee Y. NJ. C. A. con.
Quoted a song service, while w. d
/ Georgeson sang a solo in his usual
pleasing manner.
Mr.. Fenno proved himself to be a
speaker with a style all his own, eIo-
quent and practical, with a rund OF
humor that kept his audience with a
smiling face while he talked of ser
ious matters. He made the state.
ment that he wanted to be very care
full about what he said as he under
stood that the men of Arizona wore
siX-shooters for watch charms, but
, that if he pulled through this service
all right he was going to soak them
proper" next time.
1t developed in his talk that his oc-
cupation previous to taking up the
special work of the character in
which he is now engaged was that of
a telegraph operator, and his address
was based on what he had heard and
seen while working as an operator in
Niagara Falls. His application was
to the effect that men are in the cur
rent and on their way to the falls and
unless they take advantage of the
opportunities that come to them they
will be swept over. There was a
noticeable absence of pathetic stories,
or of appeal to the tear duets of his
hearers. His talk was the straight
presentation of business PROPOSE
ton which seemed to meet the APP
proval of his hearers.
Evening Services.
In the evening at 7:15 the young
people of the various churches met at
the Orpheum where Mr.. Fenno spoke
to them about Service"
At p. m. the union service of the
evening was started as announced
Mr.. Buchner of Bisbee, assisted by
large chorus from the various
churches of the city, led the song
service, Rev. George Logic read the
scripture lesson, after which Mr. Fen
no delivered what was really a re-
markable address to an audience that
completely filed the large Orpheum.
He drove home as with a sledge ham
mer point after point, illustrating
with some homely illustration, or
humorous epigram, until his audience
hardly knew what was coming next.
Many people left the theater at the
close of the service with the feeling
that they had the truth put to them
in a startling manner and their own
inside life brought to the surface, so
that they could look at it and see of
what use it was.
