~chautauqua advertising matter some
mention of the leading numbers:
We are indeed fortunate to have on
our programs DR.. Newell Dwight Hills,
the successor of Henry Ward Beecher
and Lyman Abbott. 1t is quite prob
able that no man in America or Eu-
rope in this age brings to the platform
such learning, eloquence, patriotism,
such devotion to humanity and such
passionate earnestness to do good.

ton of a great career.
Rev. Charles Nelson Pace, d. D., is
a native and product of the Middle
West. He was born and trained in the
schools of Southeastern Iowa. In col
lege life he made a conspicuous record
in winning oratorical honors. Enter
ing the ministry his popularity as a
preacher attracted attention and won
him rapid promotion. He is a student
of men and books. He is acquainted

In presenting Liberati's Band and
Grand Opera Company ch%autauQua pa
irons are given an opportunity to zeal
the best the country affords in band
vocal music. This is the world famous
band which was first organized in the
early eighties and since that time tour
ed the United States from Coast to
Coast, time and time again.
Indeed there is scarcely a city in the
United States of any importance,
where Liberati's band has not appear
ed one or more times. They have play
ed at the great State Fairs, many of
them from four to six times. Likewise
they have appeared as the principal
musical attractions at every National
Exposition in the last twenty years,
save one.
Miss Fola La Toilette, daughter of
Senator Robert NJ. La Toilette, of Wis

especial value in her advocacy, all
over the country, of the cause of wo-
man suffrage, to which she is at pres
ent devoting most of her time. Not
only have her lectures On various
aspects of this question brought her
speedy recognition as one of its fore
most opponents, but she has won a
wide reputation for her skill, and will
ingness in answering questions from
her audiences. Her quick humor and
wide sympathies add force to her own
firm convictions.
Rev. John DAILY, whose gifts of ora
tory have delighted thousands through
devoted himself to the care and edu-
cation of homeless and neglected chill
dren. In this particular field he has
won a high place among the leaders in
Juvenile Court Work. His experiences
and advice are eagerly sought by So
cial workers and his generous sacrifice
of life and earnings to homeless chill
dren has endeared him to all who love
the pool and down trodden.
On the platform Father Daily is a
pronounced success. The brilliant
play of wit and stories in his lectures
illuminate the tears brought forth by
the pathos of scenes described from
life.
