THE HERO HOBSON Os Merrimac Fame Gave j Good Lecture at Geneva Chautauqua. “NATION’S DESTINY”! Large Audience Listened With Great Interest More Than Two Hours. Geneva, Ind.. July 21—(Special to Daily Democrat)—The Geneva Chautauqua on Wednesday w r as well patronized, and the entertainments given were well received. At 3 o'clock p. . m. the Elizabeth Weedman Concert | company gave a performance far j above the average. The readings of Miss McCormick were good, especially Riley's "Old Sweetheart of Mine. The pantomime "America,” as given by her was far above the average and the singing of Miss Weedman, the soloist. was excellent. Miss Post, the cello player, was gooo. while the pi- ■ anist. Miss Bogart, was a very graceful and efficient player. At 7 o'clock the Geneva Merchants' band gave a ; concert of thirty minutes, followed by a concert by the Elizabeth Weedman ■ Concert company. In which Miss Weedman again rendered a solo that was again well received, concluding l with a pantomime by Miss McCormick, "Lead, Kindly Light.” At S i o'clock Superintendent Horton, in a f few well chosen remarks, introduced ■ to the vast audience Lieutenant Richl ard Pearson Hobson. As he appeared I on the stage our minds reverted to the morning of June 3, 1898. when Lieu- » tenant Hobson, in company with six 1 brave men, left their commander's - flag ship and were put on board thej r Merrimac to perform a feat that '.o - think about, was almost impossible. But they did it. as history only tells. ; And we also thought of the thirty- - three days that he was confined in a i- Spanish prison and exchanged for Spanish prisoners held by our soldiers and permitted to return to his supe"e ior commander.

perilous trip. Mr. Hobson gave his famous lecture. "Our Country’s Destiny." in which he held his audience spell bound for two hours and ten minutes, and no one left the audience disappointed, as praises and comments on his lecture were heard on all sides. The only objection was "l wish he had spoken longer.” Mr. Hobson, in the course of his remarks, said he favored a larger army and navy in order to protect our possessions in the - acifle ocean and on the western coast of the United States. He also spoke at some length on heleouy and he urgently and persistently urged a war on intemperance. He showed by seien.mc calculation 1 that King Alcohol has slain more people than all wars combined. *ne I closing climax of his lecture was that ! the only way to avert war and bloodshed was the Christianization of world and to do this it should he taught in our schools, and especially in our Sunday schcools, and then and only then would the way be paved for the .iristianization oi the wond Mr. Hobson went from here to Spencerville, Ouio, where he will fulfill an engagement on -arsday evening.
