CHAUTAUOUA UNDER
WAY HERE Thursday
Mrs. Booth, a Visitor, to
Visit WOrkhOuSe While
Here
LA TOILETTE TO
BE A SPEAKER

Mrs. Ballington Booth, who opens
Chautauqua week in Wilmington next
Thursday, June A. will be the guest of
the Rev. Charles l.. Candee of Westmn-
ster Church, while she is in the city.
Mrs. Booth has branch of her Prison
League in the New Castle county work
house, and will probably go over to
see the prisoners when she is here.
Secretary of State Thomas W. Miller
is in communication with Senator
Borah, trying to secure him as a
speaker for the Chautauqua. Governor
Goldsborough OF Maryland, is hoped for
if Senator Borah cannot come.
Frank Dixon sent a questionnaire to
the committee about the city of VIII
mington, assing many things about
city welfare; and his talk will be
therefore to the point as to what viii
mington possesses, and looks to make
it the ideal community. A city, like
an individual, may well say:
20 wad some power the giftee gle us
To see ourselves as ithers see Us"
Senator LaFOlette will speak on Rep
resentative government His State of
Wisconsin has tried more experiments
in representative government, under his
guidance than any other State in the
Union, so he ought to be able to give
soc valuable suggestions 20 Delaware.
Ex-Governor Joseph b. Folk, of Mis-
souri,. is trying the famous New Haven
railroad case at present and is in every
newspaper of the land every day. His
I IL s.F
railroad is remarkable, and in line with
his work as a roformer in his own
state some years ago.
On Sunday afternoon, June Z, the
Tuskcgee double quartet will lead the
congregational singing in the big tent.
Wilmington pastors, with DR.. George
Edward Reed of Grace Church as the
presiding clergyman, will conduct this
great service. Last year, the largest
meeting ever held in Wilmington as
sembled in the Chautauqua tent at Del
aware avenue and Union street, and the
swing and force of the occasion have
not yet been forgotten by those who
were there. This Sunday afternoon
meeting is free to all.
Members of the Chautauqua commit
Tee interviewed various members of the
Board of Education, urging one session
of the schools during Chautauqua Week.
II is gratifying to quote that this is
to be done and the committee hopes
that its plea had something to do with
it, aided of course by the noble assis-
tance of the weather.
The music of the Chautauqua this
year will be especially attractive. An
opera company. a fine band, the Tuske-
gee singers, the Chautauqua trio and
the Russian quartet, offer a series of
treats to the public.
Not one penny from the sale Of Chau-
tauqua tickets goes to any organiza-
/ tion or person in Wilmington. II all
goes to paying the expense of the Chau-
tauqua, and making it better still next
year. There is no commercialism in
Chautauqua. Wilmington has been al
lotted 1000 transferable course tickets
in order to pay its share of Chautauqua
expenses. These tickets are only on
sale until June 4. by Millard f. Davis.
