.CHAUTAUQUA
TOMORROW.
MANY ENTERTAINING and INSTRUC-
TIVE FEATURES PROVIDED.
Tent TO BE Erected On Athletic
FleId-SeaSOn Tickets For Sale
AT $500.

q number of our citizens are taking
great interest in the Chautauqua,
which begins tomorrow, August 81,
and continues until Friday, September
| 6. The large Chautauqua tent will be
erected on Athletic Field. Tickets
have been on sale this week at the
Office of The Advocate, the drug
stores, Sentinel Office and other places,
and committee of ladies has been
canvassing the town.
In order for town TO secure the
Chautauqua it has always been the
rule of the management for a local
committee to guarantee the sale of at
least 600 tickets at $500 each. Such
an effort was made here but finally
abandoned and the Chautauqua is
coming ION it's own hook as it were.
But it will be of such great benefit to
our community that we hope large
number of tickets will be sold and
that id will b. made an annual event
In Westminster.
The cost Of running this Chautau-
qua is estimated at more than $4,000.
This great educational work is not
run as money making scheme, but
il backed by several philanthrOpists
to give the people something worth
while, both instructive and entertain
ing.
Each day will see two sessions, one
in the afternoon commencing at 2
O'Clock and the other IN the evening
at 7.3O.
The Chautauqua stands for pleas
ure, delight, enjoyment. Not only
does it eXalt the good, the beautiful
and the true, but it emphasizes the
humorous as well. Some of the at
fractions listed for Westminster are
Circillo's famous Italian Band, said
to be the best band since Creatore's,
the Apollo Concert Company, the
Reed-Doerr Recital Company and the
International Operatic Company.
George Linn Kieffer will show more
than two hundred of his famous views
of the grounds and the battle of Get
tysburg. Frank Dixon, the wit and
logician is one of the lecturers; Reno
B. Melbourne, scientist, and Mrs.
Anna Sturges Duryea are other lee
turers, the last named having made a
thorough study of the work of the
various Peace Conferences, will speak
on ''The Larger Patriotism
Perhaps the most interesting lee
ture of the week will be delivered by
Mrs. George e. Pickett, widow of the
dashing Confederate who led "Pick-
ett's charge at Gettysburg" She fol-
lowed the army through the last two
years of the war, undergoing many
vicissitudes but making the acquaint-
| ance of a number of the leading
statesmen and soldiers of that period.
Mrs. Pickett has fine reputation
both as a speaker and a writer of
history.
Walter Bentley Ball will give an
American folk-song recital; and Ger
main, the wizard, will be one of the
most popular performers at the
Chautauqua. He is skilled in sleight-
of-hand and legerdemain tricks, and
does things almost unbelievable.
| In addition, we are promised an in
teresting debate on Socialism by two
well known men (: Hon. William III
Berry, the Keystone party candidate
for governor of Pennsylvania, and
Prof. George R. Kirkpatrick, a great
believer in Socialism.

H. Turner will lecture. The series of
lectures that he will present il en-
titled 'The Place Of Religion in
Human Development" Mr.. Turner
