sented. Review of Z
Attractions.

opered with a big attendance ant
every session has been well patror
ized. Marshall last year was the
banner ohautauqua town for the
Redpath-Vawter system and II
won't miss IL far this year we pre-
diet. The fact that the country IL
getting full OF autos is a great help
as visitors are coming in goodly
numbers from big distance in
the cars.
The program opened Thursday
afternoon with the Dunbar Sisters
a singing orchestra, followed by
an address by DR.. Mansen ON "The
Other Fellow" Both were srier-
did attractions.
In the evening Thomas McClary
"the man with the JOY face" gave
most interesting humorous talk.
Friday afternoons program was
opened by the Weatherwax Quar-
tctte and Miss Kearney In a talk
on "Dixie Land" The quartette
proved itself one OF the best. Miss
Kearney made a very acceptable
talk, especially pleasing to our
Southern people, yet In no way
Objectionable TO anyone. She Is a
fine speaker. That night the musi
cal program by the weatherwax
quartette was followed by a lee
ture by James Francis o'Donnell,
on the "Sign OF the Cross" with
Rome as the scene.
The lecture by Thomas Brooks
Fletcher Saturday afternoon was a
masterpiece. His subject: 1.-THE
Martyrdom OF Fools" touched on
the practices OF men and women
In all walks OF life and he
handed out thought food with
much .rapidity that brought out
all the "sins" OF life clearly boz
fore you. There was an unusual
disturbance OF old fogy notions
and pet follies In his address.
Saturday evening the Clarke
Bowers company entertained the
large audience very delightfully."-
for one hour, after which Hon.
Arthur X. Peek gave his illustra-
ted lecture on "Storm Heroes OF
our Coasts" The pictures were
imost magnificent. The features OF
most thrilling interest were the.
superb motion pictures showing
storms at sea, ships In distress
with sailors lashcd to the rig
ging, rescues OF near drowned
sailors by means OF the breech-
cs buoy AMI other scenes OF the
coast.
Sunday afternoon DIR. William Ed
gar Cell gave his interesting adj
dress on "a Giant in Pygmy Land"
DR.. Cell Is one OF the worlds fore
most explorers. His lecture dealt
with his explorations in Africa,
and he had happy and cleartcut
way OF expressing himself which
made his lecture a double delight
to the audience. He Is a fine speci-
men Of mankind, and brought out
the need OF manly men and woman
ly women In his lecture.
The big treat Of the week, TO
which everyone looked forward
with anxiety, was the lecture by
Hon Francis J. Honey which
took place Sunday evening. Mr..
Heney led the great fight against
corruption in San Francisco
until he was shot through the
head by a corruptionist as he
was conducting a trial against al
Doodle politician He
showed very clearly and in. a very
interesting way the hundreds of
corrupt ways by which elections
are won and lost in large cities
and suggested remedies for the
evils. Mr.. Heney is a good exam
