BAND A FEATURE.

Announcement was made yesterday
OF some of the preliminary plans for
the coming Chautauqua this summer.
The session will last six days, open
ing upon the first day about 2:3O in
the afternoon. There will be music,
entertainment, lectures, games for
children, band concerts, etc, for the
entire session. The programs come
three times a day, after the opening
day, when there are but two.
Ben Chaplin has been engaged to
give his great production of Abraham
Lincoln This is regarded by many
of the big Chautauquas In the east
as the best attraction appearing on
any program. The audience, apparent
ly sees Abraham Lincoln, himself.
come out on the platform and discuss
for an hour and half the old Civil
War days with the troubles that beset
the president in those dark times.
There is the presidents noted humor
as well as his pathos, and as you ap.
parently see President Lincoln him
self, it Is said to be one of the finest
attractions that has ever been pre-
sented on Chautauqua
Also the White City band of Chi
cago, which is regarded by many as
the best concert band in this country
today. This splendid attraction, cost
ing thousands of dollars to bring to
the coast, will be here for two con-
certs on the fourth day of our pro-
gram. Accompanying the band is
company of grand opera singers, and
known as The Thaviu Grand Opera
company. Those who have heard this
band and the Thaviu Grand Opera
company say that this one attraction,
for the two concerts, is well worth the
price for the season tickets to the en-
tlre Chautauqua program. Among the
entertainers engaged are the WinOna
Ladies, of Indiana; the Chicago Male
quartet, for two concerts; the Georgia
Jubilee Singers; Harrell, the Boston
magician, and the splendid Artists
Trio. Each of the above-named at
fractions will appear twice during the
program.
Several lecturers of note have also
been engaged. among them Senator
Burkett, who will give his great lee
ture on "The New Woman and the
Young Man." Senator Burkett always
draws big crowd and entertains
them most royalty.
julius Caesar Nayphe, Greek lee
turer, will come to US from Greece,
though he is graduate of the Oxford
University In England, and while here,
Will lecture on the subject of the
"Balkin Question or the Crescent and
the Cross
Miss Belle Kearney, of Mississippi,
who is noted as lady speaker and
has addressed many large audiences
both here and in Europe, will be here
for one lecture. Her subject will be
"The Old Days in Dixie Land" This
is an intimate study of the south be-
fore the war and up to the present
time. She takes the southerners'
which is especially inter-
esting to northern people.
The Chautauqua this summer will
be replete with entertainment, there
being ten concerts and five special
events. besides the many lectures, In.
dian games for the children, etc.
The Seton Indian work for children !
Is also especially attractive, as the !
lady leader comes here for the week, !
takes charge of the children, teaching
them the Indian games and custom,
how to make fire without matches, and
how Indians live, hunt, etc. Children
will learn how to build camp as In
dians build them.
1t is of interest also to know that
a season ticket to the Chautauqua ad-
mits one person to everything. The
season tickets are transferable In the
family. Announcements
for the Chautauqua, the place and date !
will be made, definitely, about May /.
In the meantime let everybody get
ready for good time this summer,
because we want this to be one of the
best Chautauquas in the entire west
