cHAUTAuoUA MEETINGS

Promoter Reeei~es Eneourasems1e
 From Prominent Local Men.

pr. Irwin P, McCurdy of Lansford, Pa, was here Wednesday forwarding plans for holding Chautauqua meet ings in Putnam the first week in Au- gust The encouragement he received from leading citizens he approached about the matter indicated that the meetings are almost certain to be ar ranged. Dr. McCurdy sought the sup port of fifty residents of this city and surrounding towns and early Wednes- day afternoon had secured more than one-third of the required number of signatures. Other men who were to be seen are known to be strongly in favor of the meetings for Putnam.
 Dr. McCurdy is asking the local peo- pie and those of the surrounding towns who go in for guaranteeing the propo- sition to assure his association of only a tent to accommodate 1.200 can be erected. permit, if necessary. from town or city for holding the meetings, and the cooperation of the people.
 Putnam gets the opportunity of having a series of Chautauqua meet fngs on account of the fact that the supporters of the movement in Spen- cer. Mass. have agreed with the man. agers of the ChautauQua circuit, first time in this section of New England. that owing to the general depression of business in Spencer 1t would not be well to hold the meetings, so Put nam gets the chance Dr. McCurdy was emphatic in his statement that the meetings are not held for money making purposes. but, to advance the interests of education and culture.
 The ChautauQua association that proposes to come here is the one that made Secretary of State Bryan famous. or vtca versa and Dr. McCurdy stated Wednesday that the distinguished gentleman is engaged for this circuit and might be heard In Putnam, though this cannot at this time be positively assured. Other speakers listed or Putnam are Judge Ben. B. Lindsey and
 Dr. Russell H. ConwelI.
