evening for all who had listened t,
him were we'll pleased with his mes
sage.
MIR. Thatcher. the baritone soloist,
and his accompanied. Miss Drace.
delighted the audiences on Friday
afternoon and evening. Mr.. Thatcher
gave some Of the selections which
are attempted only by the best voices
and demonstrated his ability to sing
them we'll. His lighter numbers were
WELL chosen and very pleasing.
DR.. Hopkins of Chicago delivered a
strong lecture in tn. afternoon, max
ing a plea for earnest individual
thought and action. His topic was
"l'he Land of the Golden Fleece. :"
and taking the old myth as basis Of
Thought he showed that this is the
land Of the golden fleece, and that all
may gather up the gold. the diapcnds
and the pearls of life If they are
but sincere in their endeavor. Do
not trust to luck and chance but to
sincerity.
Rev. Father Daily Of Milwaukee
was invited to speak Of his work of
rescue among the children Of his city.
He spoke earnestly OF this worthy
work and scored roundly the parents
who do not keep track of their children
and bring them up under strict yet
loving home influence.
One Of the most popular numbers
Of the week Was the monologue. "a
Message From Mars" BY Adrian M.
Newens. The story represents . mes-
senger banished from Mars to the
Earth. condemned to banishment till
he has found and changed the heart Of
the most sDlfish man on the planet.
This he does to the great benefit of a
multitude Of people and to the entire
satisfaction Of the audience. His in
depreciation Of the emotions Of the
human heart is wonderful and no one
who heard this entertainment alone
could fail to think the Chautauqua
success.
The ever popular Royal Hungarian
Orchestra was present ON Saturday
both afternoon and evening and it is
useless to try to tell how they pleased
their audiences. Everyone understands
that the "Hunearians'' with Prof.
and Mrs. Lipski as leading violinlsts
stands for the best we enjoy in the
musical line.
The meatiest address delivered dur
ing the entire Chautauqua was that
given on Saturday afternoon by Con-

and showed that we were getting but

followed the flag after; that came the
American Wholesale house. branch

social and business life which must
be had to insure reciprocal trade.
The array Of facts end figures pre-
sented y the speaker were astounding
and convincing. 1t was no new doc
trine to Denison people as Secretary
Shaw has for years been one of tho
western statesmen large enough to
see beyond the prairies and to COM
prehend that the Atlantic ocean was
as much part of Iowa as of New
York.
Mr.. Landis told no funny stories.
and in this way he was a relief from
the funny men Of the week. He
spoke like man greatly in earnest
and told his story impressively and

friend Of Hon. ]. P. Conner while in
