In the state, judged by the records

bership is $50.
President T. T. Staples took up the
question or increasing the member
ship list and stated that circular let
terS and application blanks were go
ing out this week to every automobile
owner not a member of the club He

small that it seemed as If every mo-

Chautauqua Lecturer Lauds Eng
lish Statesmen-St0ry of
Late Gov. Johnson

Lauding Lloyd-George Of England
as the man who in the future will
probably be recognized as the great
est statesman of his times, the Rev.
DR.. Daniel w. Howell spoke at this
mornings session Of the Chautauqua
assembly in Colonial hall on Fairfield
avenue.
Bad walking cut down the attend
ance at the lecture, but the audience
was of fair proportions and listened
to the speaker with the deepest atten-
ton.
DR.. HowelPs talk today was in a
sense continuation of yesterdays
discourse on books, for this time he
on number of statesmen of the pres
ent day.
Among the notable examples cited
by the speaker was Lloyd George,
England's great liberal leader DR..
Howell sketched very interestingly the
career of this statesman and showed
how 'tthe widows SON. had risen to
politics and the liberal thought of the
world.
Another notable example, this one
nearer at home, was the late Governor
John Johnson Of Minnesota.
DR.. Howell, who was personally ac-
of the rise of this statesman in the
face of tremendous difficulties and of
the aid and inspiration Gov. Johnson
often spoke Of having derived from the
reading of books, under the guidance
of a Chautauqua circle.
DR.. Howell quoted an address made
by Governor Johnson, in which the
latter spoke most highly Of the Chau-
tauqua influence and showed how his
own life had been entirely guided and
his future shaped as the result of the
reading obtained by his joining a
Chautauqua circle in his early youth.
The speaker also recalled to the au
dience Governor Johnson's first cam
paign for the governorship, in which
his enemies published a pamphlet ac-
cusing him of being the son of a
drunken pauper and a washerwoman.
When the managers Of Governor
Johnson's campaign called his atten-
tion to this pamphlet and demanded
that he should issue denial at once,
he said
81 can't deny it. It's absolutely
true.''
"Then that settles you," retorted the
politicians-but it didn't, and john
son was elected by a substantial ma
jority and was sent back for a sec
ond term by a still larger vote, and
was mentioned conspicuously for the
Democratic nomination for president
of the United States.

The immediate honeymoon plans Of
Lord and Lady Decies have not been
announced. 1t is likely that they will
| go to Jeckyl Island, Georgia, one Of
the George ]. Gould's properties, re-
,, turning to New York to sail on the
Carmania on Feb. Is. They will make
the Mediterranean trip to Egypt and
will spend some time in that coun-
try before going to Seton Park.
The great disparity in the ages OF
Lord and Lady Decies added a note
Of interest to their wedding. Lord De-
cies. whose full name is John Graham
Hope de la Poer Beresford, Baron
Decies, of County Waterford, ireland,
first met Miss Gould while he was ex-
hibiting horses at the New York show
several years ago. She was then in
short dresses. but it was seen at the
outset that he was greatly interested
in the child, as she then was.
Lord Decies, who is only two years
younger than his father-in-law, has
seen much service as soldier. having
been in the Boer campaign. Being an
gested that his stories OF his travels
and fighting may have won the heart
Of Mss Vivien. for Lord Decies was
a frequent guest of the Goulds, at
their Georgian Court and town resi-
dences. Lord Decies, however, denied
the impeachment that he had played
Iago to Miss Gould's Desdemona.
Lord Decies himself thought it moth
ing unusual that a man of A should
wish to marry a girl OF Is.
why, I'm not DID," he said to the
New York interviewers. I'm England
a man of A, especially If he has lived
actively in the open air, as I have
done, is considered right in his prime.
Differences In ages such as between
Miss Gould and me. are very common
in England
In addition to being a soldier, Lord
Decfes Is one of the most prominent
sportsmen in England. He owns a
small racing stable and is known as a
cricket and football player, a hunter
and boxer.
The country seats over which Lady
Decies will be mistress are Kilcorney,
Ireland; Seton Park. Slaugh, England,
and Beresford Ladge Kent.
