ILLUSTRATED LECTURE ON
 ssMOLLIERE AND HIS TIMESv

Members and patrons of the Drama league enjoyed a rare treat Tuesday afternoon when MT. William w. Els worth. former president of the Gen. tury Publishing company, delivered his famous lecture on the French dramatist and actor, of whom it was said: "Of all dramatists, ancient and modern, Moliere is perhaps the one who has borne most constantly in mind the theory that the stage is a lay pulpit, and that its end is not merely amusement, but the reforma- tion of manners by means of amusing spectacles. In brilliancy of wit he is among dramatists inferior only to Aristophanes' and Congreve."
 MT. Ellsworth possesses keen sense of humor. the faculty of ap- preciating the salient points in a sub ject and made his address more en- tertaining and realistic with the col ored stereoptcon slides with which he embellshes his lecture. With these he took his hearers on a trip through the Paris Moliere's time, in order that they might catch the atmosphere and be better able to appreciate the re- markable man who furnished the subject of his talk.
 Moliere himself was also pictured In some of his remarkable roles, and picture of the lovely Amande Be- jart, who became the wife of the dramatist Tn 1882. was greatly en- loved

IA LOT HERS INFAMOUS } 1l MEN
MOTHER OF ANDREW JACKSON

MOTHER OF ANDREW JACKSON
 True to American tradition, An drew Jackson, soldier and President, spent his youth in rough and more or less impecunious circumstances. His mother. typical American woman of the early days, was hard working, good woman, who combined the two qualities of common sense and understanding.
 Mrs. Jackson, who was left widow few months before the birth of An drew, her third son, was a strong, kindly and intelligent woman. Both before and after her marriage she earned money as a weaver. Andrew because of peculiar circumstances at his birth, was even dearer to her than her other two sons, and her fondest wish was to see him in the ministry.
 Fate, however, willed it otherwise, developing the boy into a strong, better than he did sermon, whose prowess was almost entirely along athletic lines. The mother was dis appointed, but far too wise to make any great effort to bend him to her inclinations. She saw that he was intended for different life from the one she had chosen for him. and resigned herself to the inevitable.
 His so-called wildness, which caused much comment in the neigh borhood, did not worry her very much. She recognized it as the nat ural ebullition of youth, especially likely in that section of the county.
 Unhappily, she did net live to see his greatness, for she went to a heroine's death, after losing one son, Robert, in the Revolution. She vol unteered as nurse to fight the smallpox plague that was raging in the camps, and after doing some he roc work she succumbed to the malady herself, and died within a few days.
