Every Program.
CHAUTAUQUA A CERTAINTY
FOR NEXT YEAR
management was Well Satisfied with
the Interest Shown by Warren
People.

The Chautauoua has come and gone
leaving with the people OF Warren
and vicinity many pleasant remen-
brance of those five days of recrea-
tlon and education Now that all is
past we can in greater degree than
ever before appreciate the efforts put
forth by the promoters of the affair.
The financial side is often a source of
great worry and it seemed for time
chat there was great cause for it, but
before the tent opened for the first
crowd, Sunday afternoon the man
agement had secured the necessary
amount. The question whether War
rem should have a Chautauqua next
year was for time dubious one,
but before two days of the five had
elapsed the managers felt they were
not running any great risk If they
signed up for another year, for the
enthusiasm shown these days, alone
assured its success.
The attendance during each pro-
gram was much the same with the
exception Of the last evening which
brought out packed tent.
ALI attractions appeared as adver
tised with the exception Of the Ar
thur Love Company which should
have appeared on Wednesday This
trio of entertainers had been just pre-
viously dissolved so in their place ap-
peared the Chautauqua trio composed
of a reader. a eontralto soIoist and a
pianist.
'"The Man Without Smile
In the afternoon Dehull NJ Travis
cave his lecture on "The Man With
out d Smile It was a talk on pris
on usage and criminal reform and
Mr.. Travis treated it as q man of ex-
nerience would. As a member Of the
Michigan Board of Pardons, ne had
made study of prison life and pen
ology in general. He explained the
difference between the old methods
and the modern. The foundation up
on which modern penology rests is
the reformation of the criminal, Civ
ing him humane treatment, ever con-
sidering that he is man, and thus
prevent crime, instead of causing the
unfortunate one to become hardened.
The prisons which have introduced
the modern ideas no longer follow the
antiquated theory of san eye for an
eve, and tooth for tooth" He
said that there are two causes for
crinninality, heredity and environ
ment. Society is the cause of crime,
therefore it should do something TO
purify life. The speaker was force
full and direct, at times dramatic. He
concluded his lecture by giving dra-
matte presentation Of the scene of the
bishop and Jean in Hugo's "Les Mis-
CRADLES"
In the evening Sumner r. Vinton
gave an illustrated lecture on India
or as he chose to call it Pagoda
Land" Mr.. Vinton has lived in that
far off country practically all his life,
he has for some time been instructor
of English in one OF the Burmese
schools, and has travelled extensively
studying the customs and the Ian
guage of the people. He threw on his
screen pictures of thousands OF pa
godas and the mode of worship with
in the same. Some of these are mag
u;ficent structures, the largest being
some 400 feet high and a quarter OF
. mile in circumference. Mr.. VInton
was a rapid talker, very interesting
o,d entertaining as well as instruc-
tive.
Father Cronin Talks ON Literature.
EVERY program was commences
strictly on time except the Sunday
and Thursday afternoon programs.
Trhase delays were caused by unavoid-
ahIe circumstances, so no persons
vuare at fault. Each troupe was con-
.aued by auto from Hallock, but it
g.s impossible to do so in the case OF
Farrante's Hungarian orchestra
which was compelled to come on the
af+arnoon freight which mode Of con-
rauance is seldom dependable. AT
~ time of opening the freight had

+on opened the program with some
daI;obtful songs, after which Father
rranin took the platform. His repu-
ta+;on had proceeded him mther and

- m,1ch had been said of his abllI-
s;as His subject, "The Weeds and
F,owers Of American Literature was
ora that concerned everybody, and
