LA Toilette and
FOLK TO SPEAK At
The CHAUTAUOUA

The managers Of Chautauqua Week
have secured two celebrated speak
ers in Ex-Governor j. W. Folk, Of
Missouri. a Democrat and Senator
Robert NJ. LaFollette, Progressive of
Wisconsin. The committee is looking
for a Republican speaker and hopes
to announce one next week.
The two men already booked are
so widely known that it is not nee
essary to tell Chautauqua audiences
who they are. The announcement
that they are to speak is sufficient
to draw the biggest crowds of the
week.
Many people are buying season
tickets in order to hear these two.
With transferable tickets and thirty
other events, it is far better finan-
cially to get season tickets. Wilm ng-
ton has been allotted only one thou
sand of these course tickets, and the
committee urges everyone to buy
early, in case they should be all gone

was sorry. however. that Mr.. Cassidy
had completely disposed of his fnan-
cial interest, although Mr.. Cassidy
assured him that he would continue
to support the team and to aid it
wherever possible. This is to be eX-
pected. moreover, because Mr.. Brown

been associated through the ups and
downs of league baseball in Whining

player. He was first baseman on
Baltimore for several seasons, and
