TRUE IMPROVISATION OF
DICKENS CHARACTERS.
BATHS knowledge of His Work and
Excellent Facial Expression Make
Him FavOrite.

Rosani was truly as he had been
advertised, prince of jugglers. >
His exhibitions of Juggling were re-
markable in every degree. After he
had won the admiration of the en-
tire audience, and especially the
children, he told them the secret of
his success. He explained to the
] younger spectators that since a
small boy he had never tasted iq-
uor, or used tobacco in any form.
Total abstinence, he said, had de-
veloped in him a steady nerve, and
it was to this that he attributed his
ability in being able to accomplish
so many wonderful feats.
The Dietrics were present both
afternoon and night. They were
| very entertaining with numerous
cunning tricks and slight-of-hand
work. The music was also very in
teresting, although Mrs. Dietric's
rendition of the wedding march was
little overdone.
In Introducing the impersonator,
Rev Perry called attention to the
fact that his middle name was Sterl-
ing and before he had completed his
performance, everyone realized that
more appropriate name could not
have been given. In William Sterl-
ing BATHS the Chautauqua Associa-
lion offered the Cambridge public
true representative of Charles Dick
ems Lacking affectation, and not
in the least exaggerated, Mr.. BATHS
gave true portrayal of the char
acters which his author had created.
Saying that an audience generally
desired to know something of the
appearance of Dickens, he imme-
diately transformed himself into
striking reproduction of the orlgl-
nal He then proceeded to give an
representation of characters with
whom the whole world is acquain-
ted. Undoubtedly, his greatest
work was in the portrayal of Uriah
Heep, that slippery, scheming, cum
ming creature, who is positively eX-
asperating in his efforts to be nice,
in order that he may satisfy his in
satiable greed. In striking contrast
to this despicable person, he depic-
ted the happy, contented Mr.. Micaw-
Der. Hounded byehis creditors and
unable to meet the demands his
family made upon him, he exposed
the underhand dealings of Uriah
Heep.
The death of little Nell was Il
very pathetic scene, and portrayals
from Oliver Twist were filled with
horror and misery. AS Capt. Cut
tie, he was jolly and witty, while
in the form of stephen Carton, in
a Tale of Two Cities, he represen-
ted man Of sacrifice.
This afternoon Rev E. r. Perry
gave the fifth of a series of lectures,
taking for his text today, THE Out
come; Progress and Prosperity" At
half-past three O'Clock the Com
monwealth Male Quartet won favor
with the spectators Tonight, in
addition to the quartet, Ex-Governor
Glenn, of South Carolina, will be
present and deliver a lecture.
Tomorrow afternoon Rev. Perry
will address the audience upon 1.-The
Mess of Pottage Redeemed" The
night service will be in charge of
tie Ministerial Union, and there will
be a sermon by DR.. S. P. Cadman.
The Commonwealth Quartet will
give sacred concerts at both sessions
of the Chautauqua.

The Lame.OuCk Lobby.

ITO my mind" says Senator Bur-
ton, of Ohio, 1.-The most dangerous
method of influencing legislation is
that of bombarding Senators with
inspired kilograms, letters and reso-
lutions of commercial, civic and 9TH
er societies.
This is the lobby brought down
to date. In the old days it appear
ed in the first person with money,
entertainments, promises and ground
floor investments. Now it pretends
| to act in a representative capacity.
All that it asks of members of Con-
gross is that they accept its word
| as to public sentiment and vote
accordingly.
If Senator Burton had gone into
details he might have said that
these onslaughts by letter, telegram
and petition, which are quite as eX-
pensive perhaps as the old cam
paigns in which individuals were to
| be corrupted, always have as their
purpose the reversal of the peoples
will as expressed at the polls. The
ancient method was bribery and de-
fusion. The new is intimidation
and delusion.
When the people have elected a
Congress and a President, nobody
else appears at Washington in their
interest. No lobby at the capital
is enlisted on the side of the ma
jority. There are no eX-Senators
and ex-Representatives seeking to
make the popular will effective
There is never lawyer or an agent
of any kind charged with the duty
of enforcing the pledges upon which
the peoples servants were elected
If President and Congress do not
represent the people, there is nc
such representation.
The Senate committee which is
now investigating the lobby vii
soon come to this phase of the in
quiry Washington is full of eX
Senators and ex-Representatives
men who have been repudiated a
. home, who are always active wher
important measures are pending
They are always against the people
If they had been for the people, mos
of them would not now be eX-Sena
tors and eX-Representatives
Every one of these men shoult
be subjected to the same inquisi
ton that the Senate has applied t,
itself. What selfish interests d.
!, they serve? How much are the,
paid? Whose votes do they hop
to influence ?-The World.
