The Crystal Springs Chautauqua.


A mon-h hence Chautauqua lovers
in Mississippi will have to make
ready for their annual outing beside
ChautauqUa Lake, just beyond the
corporate limits of Crystal Springs.
This growing city is reached with
case, being but half hours run

trees, which abound and upon the

central feature is an old-time audito-
rum, built in "Auld Lang Syne," to
accommodate the Methodist preach
ers, like G. K. Marshall and his class
during the great summer camp meet
ings.

precedes the Chautauqua, SO fami-
lies desiring to spend the month on
the grounds will find something
doing most of the time.
The recent addition of modern
lighthouses, where ladies and chill
dren can take their daily plunge,
will give the cottages and visitors
great pleasure, and on the lakes
shaded banks fishermen will find
''bites" enough. The directors have
arranged an interesting two weeks
programme, which embraces many
of the best lectures, musicians, pol
.iticians and magicians to be had in
the South. All the candidates for
the United States Senate will attend.
Among the speakers will be such
notables as Colonel Gordon, the
Gentleman from Mississippi;
Sunshine Hawkes., Sophie Wright and
others. A complete programme OF
the season is in the hands or L. M.

stirs UP the spirit Of anarchy in the
hearts Of wage -earners and toilers. the
Rev. DR.. George Chalmers Richmond, in
his sermon this morning at st. Johns
Episcopal Church. denounced the display
al the Goud-D rexel wedding
What an awful sight that was" he
said. "at the Could Drexel wedding in
New York, where crowds fought and tore
one another's hats simply to see a very
ordinary sight.
The bride was a girl unknown in our
world of moral upbuilding ana reform. a
girl who inherits wealth largely made by
a grandfather. whose methods would not
be countenanced in these days; a girl
who has nothing to boast of except this
money.
she was married To a youth who has
never helped any social. religious or
moral movement in his city in any ex
ceptional degree. The pageantry of the
affair was sensational and vulgar.
In the end the pair will probably land
fin the divorce court; "a bad and sensa-
tional beginning means a bad ending"
