FLETCHER AT CITY HALL TO-
NIGHT.
Opportunity of Lifetime to Hear
Americas Great Dramatic Orator.

Last season after Ex.-Goy. Hoch's
lecture in Augusta, hundreds who did
net attend because it was merely a
lecture" awoke to the fact that they
had missed a very rare treat-proba-
bly, the finest lecture ever given in
this city. ~.se
The same management brings to
City hall this evening in Thomas
Brooks Fletcher, an orator ,acknowl-
edged to be superior to the famous
Ex-Governor of Kansas and whose
remarkable lecture 1.-THE Martyrdom Of
Fools has created a sensation, wher-
ever given. To fail to hear this great
dramatic orator tonight will be, miss
ing the opportunity of a lifetime.
The New Bedford Standard says of
Fletcher: HE Is in a class of his own.
His personality is magnetic and he is
the master of every phase of dramatic
art. A graceful Delsartean one mo-
ment, a thunder bolt hurting giant the
next, he combines impassioned oratory
with the profound reasoning of a
| judge. Fletcher, who is a giant men,
| tally, is master in the use of lam
| guage, whether-i it be biting sarcasm
| scathing condemnation, tender plead
| ing or strong exhortation. All this
power and dramatic art is combined
for enc purpose-to startle, to awaken
and then to burn into the souls of his
J hearers, convictions in matters politi-
cal. social and religious His lecture
was wonderful and his hearers We're
| spellbound."
Seats for to-night's lecture are sell

Com of n. Y in regard to the pro-
tested game with the Cony Alumni.
on Dec. s. "A player once removed
from game cannot play again in
that game, and if the disqualified

violation of the rules" Mr.. Hepproh
further says: The only incident IN
this game where you could enter
protest, is where player once dis
qualified was allowed to return 10 the
game, and that the decision OF the
committee in this case is that the
game should be played over from the
point where the disqualified player
was allowed to return to the game
and all points made after this player
returned to the game do not count
In regard to the alumni part OF the
game Mr. Hepb1on says in part: De

rules that a protest cannot be pasea
on these grounds, as the referee was
