DECATUR GETS CHAUTAUQUA (CONTINURB FROM PAGE ONE) change the picture, with the addition of a few strokes. He dosed with a picture of nature in colors, that was very artistic. He is certainly an artist of ability and drew much applause. The first part of the evening, and also of the afternoon, was the music by Sam Belllno, the accordeonist. Mr. Bellino is a native Italian and has spent his life playing the accordeon. from which lie can draw a wonderful melody. Sam was one of the star attractions as evidenced from the applause and the recalls that he received. Mr. Merton, the magician, closed Saturday evening’s program with his magical tricks, and also with an exhibition of ventriloquism that took us back to our childhood days. “Punch” was certainly good and made the audience laugh as they had not for years. On Prison Reform. The Saturday afternoon lecture of Jw.lge McKenzie Cleland was on "Prison Reform," and gave some very practical pointers along that line. He has made a broad study of the question and asserts that prisons make criminals Instead of reforming them. He urged that the cause of persons becoming cfJninals should be determined, removed and the criminal made normal and restored, instead of blindly punishing them, and broaden* ing their criminal tendencies. Kryl and His Hair. Saturday evening. Superintendent Rheinfrank relieved the curiosity of many Decatur people by stating Mr. Kryl’s hair is really Mr. Kryl’s hair. He had been asked by so many whether he wore a wig or his own true hair, that he made the public statement. He stated that Mr. Kryl bad two daughters, Josephine and Marie, who have just as wonderful hair as their father, which |s the envy of every young lady, and just as wonderful a complexion. The two daughters are very musical, and the younger, about fourteen years old, a talented violinist, has been at Brussels, studying with the great master, Ysaye. Brussels is only eight miles from the seat of the fighting, and she is said to have been injured by a bomb which exploded on the train on which she was rid ing. She is now on a ship homeward bound and her mother is in New York to meet her. Continuing about the wonderful Kryl hair, Mr. Rheinfrank stated that the Chautauqua had on Saturday evening a man who had just as much and wonderful hair as Kryl, and he then introduced Mr. Colby—whose head was as innocent of hair as a billiard ball. Mr. Rheinfrank stated that on Friday, after the concert. Mr. Kryl said he had not in five years a better audience than he had in Decatur—and that in spite of the rain. Mr. Rheinfrank gave his closing address last evening and of course said many good things in favor of Decatur and her enterprising people. Mr. Rheinfrank established tiie Chautauqua here two years ago, after much difficult work and feets a great interest in the chautauquas here. Mr. Tyndall in presenting the contract for next year in behalf of the business men of the community, highly praised Mr. Rheinfrank, upon whom much of the success of the Chautauqua here depended. He had been a hard and able worker. WRITE STORIES row MOVING PICTURE PLAYS MINMI New, Spare Time Profession for Men ■nd Women—One Man Makes $3,500 in Six Month*.
