since DR.. Atkinson has displayed
much erudition in his series of Bible
talks given each morning the past

only being indicative of the careful
researches of a student but of the
highest spirituality.

Reno, the magician, gave an interest
ing exhibition of the tricks of his Pc
culiar art last vening to an appre-
ciative audience. Reno having an ex-
tended repertoire of mysterious per-
formances which delight children and
adults alike, and proceeding in a
rapid fire manner that does not per-
NIT interest to lag.
Unlike many of his confreres in
this field, Reno does not employ an
assistant but concentrates attention
on the work he is doing himself, and
neither does he indulge in alleged fun
ny stories as a filler as is often the
custom. He gives a clean bill of the
magician's art and is one of the most
entertaining of his class who ever ap-
peared here.
A charming affair was that of yes
terday afternoon when the children,
under the direction of Miss Anna
Neale, gave a number of fancy drills,
which were highly effective and show.
ed surprising efficiency considering
the short time for re hearsals and
the difficulty under which they were
held. The flag, hoop, Roman and
scarf drills were given in costume by
the girls, and the clown drill, which
made hit for it's comedy effects, was
presented by the boys. The little
children gave the doll drill and gave
it with that appeal made by the per-
formances of very little people. 1t
was altogether delightful entertain
ment, and Miss Neale is to be con-
graduated, especially on account OF
the difficulties under which it was
given The original arrangement was
the presentation of an operetta, but
this was abandoned as not practicable
as Reno was obliged to use the stage
for his paraphernalia.
Miss Neale is especially happy with
children and is engaged in work OF
this character, in addition to being q
dramatic reader. She is graduate
of Sargeant's dramatic school in New
York.

WEEK VERY DULL.
The past week has been dull one
socially and only very few parties
and affairs of prominence have been
given. This is partly due to the fact
that many hostesses with their fami-

ed in vaudeville, has met with such
overwhelming popularity, and there
has been such q demand for enter
tainments OF this sort, they have many
imitators.
The fact that the lyceum and Chau-
tauqua public in common parlance go
crazy" over a semi-theatrical presenta-
ton of this character, only goes to
prove what the great author OF Alice
in Wonderland" says, namely, that
one OF the strongest passions in hui
man nature is a taste for acting. That
this is demonstrated in many more
ways than one is illustrated by the
amateur theatricals CIV
en- continually throughout the country
some of them good, many of them
bad, although surprising histrionic
skill is often found in the most unex-
pected sources.
In instances of the immediate fore
going was the Earlham student who
last winter appeared 50 successfully
in Sweet Lavendar," and who was
partment and, at odd moments. act
ing in the capacity of pastor In the
nearby metropolis of Dublin. The fact
that preachers are often very good
actors in the pulpit and out. aside
from any amateur dramatics they may
essay, Is an observation that may
sound trite, if true. The line of
cleavage between the cloth and the
laity is not as clearly defined as it
once most unhappily was. Or perhaps
happily. Who can tell? Anyway it
stands that many preachers are ex-
cellent actors.
What are the ideals of the Chau-
tauqua?
cation means the development of all
the refinements of the social fabric,
then the ideals of the frequenters Of
the Chautauqua should be courtesy as
well as Christianity: politeness as
Well as intellectlectual culture; con-
sideration in the personal relation to-
ward society at large. ...
This is merely predatory to saying
that the Chautauqua should give dis

set of very rude young men and wo-
men who have been on the Chautau-
qua grounds this year. These people
supposedly belong to the best element
of the community and to represent
something other than the manners of
the street, and yet a few of them
very far from being all but a few none
theless, have been giving an exhibit
ton of bad manners and breeding that
one would expect, say, in Goosetown.
To be specific on various occasions,
the writer has been informed. visitors
to the Chautauqua have been serious
ly annoyed by loud and violent laugh
ter and audible personal comment Of
an unpleasant sort when passing a
group of these young men and wo-
men seated in the doors Of their tents.
This sort of thing is neither cute, fun
ny, smart or witty. It is merely rude,
ill-bred and disgusting.
AS has been said, it is the sort of
thing that one might expect in Goose
town. But hardly at the Chautau-
qua.
