CHAUTADDUA

IS VERY FINE ENTERTAINMENT AND ATTENDANCE GROW BETTER SUNDAY'S PROGRAM With Bishop Fallow's Powerful Ser--. mon Was an Exceptionally Pine One The Exercises. Weather that could not have been better, a program that was one of the strongest,1' broadest and best of the entire Chautauqua and an attendance that far exceeded the highest hopes of the managers, all combined to make yesterday the chief "big day" of the Chautauqua, the. best day that has ever been seen at a Richmond Chautauqua.. By 12 o'clock the grounds were filled almost to overflowing with people, large numbers coming out immediately after the closing of the churches with lunches, intending to spend a pleasurable and profitable afternoon and the speaker's large tent was crowded Avith hearers long before the commencement of the program. By 3 o'clock within fifty feet of the outside circle of the tent was a crowd of people, standing and sitting, all intent on hearing the fine program. The Chautauqua grounds were all en ; fete, and everything seemed at its best. The breeze, cool and soft, blew gently through the trees and counteracted the sun's warm rays. The advantages that the Glen has for a ." Chautauqua ground were shown in a fine manner yesterday and many comments on the beauty of the park were heard everywhere. The crowd was the largest by far of the Chautauqua and it was estimated that about four thousand people were present, the Chautauqua offering a pleasant place to spend a Sunday afternoon. The interurbans brought in large - crowds from all surrounding towns and hundreds -of countryfolk drove in to spend the day, the lane back of the grounds being filled with carriages and horses. Sunday Afternoon. The program was one of exceptional excellence and interesting to all. At 2:00 p. m. Bishop Samuel Fallows of Chicago, delivered a sermon that for powerful ness and general excellence has seldom been exceeded in this city. Bishop Fallows delivers his sermons in a masterly manner, speaking in, a full, powerful, yet not loud voice, and his use of gestures is a strong point in his talks. The sermon, appealed, roused and strengthened all in one. With a strong subject the Bishop delivered a stirring sermon, and at the close, after a powerful invocation, the interest of his hearers was centered in, not only the splendid words that issued from his lips, but in the personality of the man himself. After the sermon knots of people were seen discussing it, showing that it had sank deep into (Confinueu on eisrhth page.) BISHOP FALLOWS PRAISES LOGAN. Bishop Fallows, of Chicago, paid a glowing tribute to the name and memory of the late General John A. Logan, at the Chautauqua, last night, before he introduced Mrs. Logan. He said he fought under General Logan when lie commanded the army of the Tennessee. He said the history of the rebellion would never be complete until the part Mrs. Logan took in it was made a part of that history. He intimated that Logan was one of the greatest generals of the rebellion, and many a head nodded assent. Being a personal friend of the family he said it did him great honor to be able to introduce the widow of his illustrious commander.

SCAFFOLDING

On the Grace M. E. Church Comes Down This Week. The last of the scaffolding on the Grace ,M. E. church will come down this week and the last of the lengthy repairs will be" completed. The fine appearance of the .building with its new "pointed" brick, which resembles pressed brick, is the source of many comments. The appearance of the church is greatly improved by the recent repairs, most of which have been on the outside. Of Stanley McCormick and Katherine Drexel. The engagement is announced of Stanley McCormick, of Chicago, to Miss Katherine Dexter, daughter of the late Wirt Dexter, of Philadelphia, and it is expected that the marriage will take place at an early date. Although Cyrus II. McCormick, brother of Stanley, said last night that he did not know definitely when the wedding would be celebrated, other friends of the engaged couple said that it was likely the ceremony would be set' for September 10 in Paris. Mr. McCormick has been abroad for six weeks, his latest address being Paris, while Miss Dexter has been traveling abroad all summer in company with her mother. She has recently been touring Germany. INSTITUTE DF OPENED THIS MORNING AT THE CHAUTAUQUA CHANGE IN PROGRAM Mr. Leon Vincent, An Able Speaker, Takes Place of Professor L. D. Bonebrake. This morning was given the first lecture of the Wayne County Teachers' Institute, which is being held in conjunction with the Richmond Chautauqua this year, the lecture being attended by several hundred teachers from all the towns and districts in this county who receive pay for attending the lectures. An important change in the list of speakers is the substitution of Leon Vincent, of Chicago, or Prof. L. D. Bonebrake, State Superintendent of Public Instruction in Pennsylvania, whose business interests compelled him to cancel his engagements here. Mr. Vincent is a man even more capable than Mr. Bonebrake in the same line, but his fort lies in a little different direction than does that of Mr. Bonebrake. Mr. Vincent is very highly recommended by Mr. Shaw, who knows him personally, as a speaker of a high order of excellence. This morning Mr. Vincent made his first address and he was well received. Mr. Speed gave a nat ure study lecture and Professor Shaffer a lecture on teachers' work. The institute promises to be an exceptionally good one and the teachers are very enthusiastic concerning it. Son of Dr. Bowers Fell Over a Tent y Rope. Cyril Bowers, the young sou of Dr. L. G. Bowers, suffered a painful injury yesterday afternoon at the Chautauqua. He fell, or was pushed, over one of the guy ropes of the tent, '. falling on his left arm and breaking it. His loud cries drew many people to the spot and he was taken to his home. " ' ' ' '

The program this morning at the Chautauqua grounds was opened by Mr. Vincent, of Chicago. His subject was "Hawthorne." Mr. Vincent is a pleasant speaker and not only instructs but entertains. He described Hawthorne's early youth in a very interesting manner, showing that he was not much impressed with school, but took more kindly to sports. In meditating upon wrat his vocation for life should be he said to his mother he could not be a preacher and live by the sins of the people, nor a lawyer and live by their quarrels, nor a doctor and live by their diseases, but that he might be an author and at the same time have upon his book shelves whole rows of books, the backs of which would be labeled "The Works of Hawthorne." The lecturer referred at some length to the married life of Hawthorne and his remarkable ability to aid in the duties of the home. He considered it impossible for any ordinary man to do these things as was his custom, and at the same time be able to wTrite the Scarlet Letter. The speaker regards Hawthorne as a genius and in this (Continued on 4th page.) Pamily Will Hold Reunion in Greene County, Ohio.

BLEACHER FELL

At the Chautauqua Yesterday No One Was Hurt. One of the newly erected "bleachers," or tier-seats on thr south si.lo of the big tent at the Chautauqua collapsed yesterday atternoon. The joist gave way at a knot hole and one section of the structure slid to the ground. The loud cries attracted many people to the bleacher, but the worst accidents suffered by those on the structure was a bad scare. One lady's neck was badly scratched. THE IffRlCTION. "The Struggle Between Capital and Labor" at Gennett. Owing to the failure of the paper for the "Struggle Between Capital and Labor" to arrive, Manager Murray and the attaches of the (Jennet t are not smiling pleasantly on the many inquirers who ask why the show has not been advertised on the boards. Accidents of this kind are not unusual, however, and many cases are on record where shows of an unknown quantity have played to packed houses on a "one day's showing." The odd title of tomorrow night's bill at the Gennett has attracted much attention, and as the piece promises to be unique in many respects from the ordinary melodrama, it is not unreasonable to expect a big house, notwithstanding the existing handicap. Look up the theatrical column in tomorrow evening's Palladium.

CHARGE

WHILE PAYING A VISIT GEORGE M'KINSTER GET S INTO TROUBLE. He Was Arrested by Officer Bundy and Had a Preliminary Hearing This Morning. George McKinster was arrested last nifht a little after 7 o'clock near the home of Thomas Paynter in North Fourteenth street. The charge placed against McKinster was assault with at tempt to rape little Miss Simons, a girl about sixteen years old, the daughter of Mr. Albert. Simons, who lives at G27 North Thirteenth street. McKinster is probably about twentysix years of age. The arrest was made by O ulcer Bundy at the instance of the father of the girl, who was very much wrought up over the affair. The case was called in mayor's court this. 1 morning. Several witnesses were examined and all evidence tended to sustain the charge. McKinster, when put on the stand, said he was more than surprised when arrested. He had done, nothing that would cause his arrest and could not understand it. He said he had known the girl since she was a baby and always felt like a brother toward her. He had no immoral intentions in the world and only walked along hand in hand like he would with a sister. He said the little girl called him yesterday morning when he was passing along the street and when he responded -to her call she told him how "fine and dandy" he was looking. This "kinder" flattered him a little and he said "he was glad to hear her say it." They walked along like couples do in "The Good Old Summer Time," climbed over barbed wire fences and crossed dusty roads and shady lanes" and sat on a log "Under the Bamboo Tree," while in his pocket he carried a bottle of stuff that was not labeled "AnheuserBusch," but good old blackberry and whisky. To all of this the witness subscribed in his own way, with an occasional question by the prosecutor. He told the court of his visiting around among his acquaintances in the north part of the city in a social way and of the great surprise his arrest caused. . After hearing the testimony Mayor Zimmerman sent the case to circuit court and placed McKinster under $1,000 bond. He was remanded to jail. ' ' ' ; . . RELIGION OF LAUGHTER. ; -Of the 4,000 persons who heard Herbert Leon Cope last night in his humorous lecture "The Beligiori of Laughter," it is safe to say not one person was displeased. His very presence is an inspiration to mirth, and the audience from the first was put in the best of humor. That laughter and tears go hand in hand was fully demonstrated last night when persons found themselves laughing and crying at the same time. Mr. Cope said there was a great similarity between laughing and crying. For instance he said the photograph of a lady taken while laughing would easily be mitaken for the picture of a lady crying. One stroke of the artist's brush would change a crying scene into that of a laughing one. He"said that one stroke from his good old mother's rod often made a great change in him, too, and she wasn't considered much of a painter, either. Laughter-should occupy a prominent place in every one's life. It is sunlight to the sol and medicine to the body. . The entire time allotted Mr. Cope was resplendent with beau tiful axioms. .r! ;
