VINCENT

AND

HIS LOWELL MENTALITY OF BIRDS VIEWED g BY PROF. SPEED DR. N. C. SCHAFFER Continued His Discussion of the Methods of Thinking Teachers Pleased. . (By Prof. W. A. Fiske.) Dr. Vincent gave his third lecture at Chautauqua this morning on Lowell, the man, poet and American. lie disucessed the great author as a boy, youth and a man, describing in a most fascinating manner his personal habits, methods and dress, likes and dislikes, etc. Lowell was not a great genius in school, many features of which he disliked, and during his last days at Harvard was placed under discipline, not being permitted to be present at graduation time. After returning to Harvard as one of its foremost ' instructors he still possessed many peculiarities with regard to his work, and yet there was something about him that made him popular and drew all to him. Some time was spent by the speaker in considering his writings. He referred to the letters, of Mathew Arnold, 'Robert Louis Stevenson, Edward Fitzgerald and Elizabeth Barrett. Browning as being remarkable productions, but those of James Russel Lowell were regarded as the most brilliant of all. His letters show that he loved the fommou people, and "VpeefaIIy7pfc pretended to be. . .' ";' " V . '.V" . ' . His Americanism manifested itself in his abhorrence for self advertisement and believed the productions of an author should be based upon their merits alone. It was also shown by the defense he put up against undue foreign criticism of his native land. Here the attacks made by Dickens upon our manners and customs when he visited our country in 1842 also those of Mathew Arnold, were referred to by the speaker. Mr. Vincent does not regard Lowell as the greatest artist, but he does consider him the most brilliant bard, and he thinks we should do homage by reading the writings of a man "who was a great poet and scholar a gentleman and patriot foremost in the school of refinement and culture.' ' Mr. Speed. Mr. Speed next lecteured on "The Mentality of Birds, and birds as a .flying machine." (Continued on eighth page.) Prisoner Accused of the Crime Ends His Life in His CelL Ascoli, Italy, August 30. The photographer, Rocchiggiaiii, who was arrested on August 17 in connection with the theft from the Cathedral of Ascoli of a riceless cope, which was afterward bought bv J. Pierpont Mor gan, of New York, committed suicide today by hanging himself to a bar in his cell, lie had refused nourishment for several days. . The cope, which was very ancient 'and considered priceless, was stolen from the cathedral in 1S02. It mvsterionsly disappeared while repairs were being made to the cathedral, and though the government took measures for its recovery, the efforts were unsuccessful. A London dispatch of July 10 last announced that Mr. Morgan had loaned the cope to the South Kensington Musuem, where it was on exhibition. It is described as a beautifully embroidered piece of work done in France in the thirteenth century and presented to the cathedral of Ascoli by Nicholas IV. , A sensation was caused here last ;week when Mgr. Santarelli, the rec-

tor, Father Lueidi, a professor; Father Dangelo, administrator of the seminary and Father Ortolani, the parish priest of Ancarano, were summoned to appear before the Court investigating the theftv of the cope. During a search of the house of Rocchiggianni the authorities found the sum of $3,000, which it was claimed increased the seriousness of the case against him, as he was looked upon as being comparatively poor.

SAKHABOFF SAYS BATTLE CLOSED AT NINE O'CLOCK ON TUESDAY WITH RUSSIAN VICTORY JAPANESE LOSS HEAVY Russians Occupying Positions Prom Which They Had Been Driven Loss About 3000. (By Associated Press.) St. Petersburg, August 31. General Sakharoff telegraphed that the battle closed at 9 o'clock Tuesday night The Japanese attack on the center was. delivered first, -but fa"Jed-at4 jp, ra. an atempt was made to turn the Russian right. After severe fighting the Russian reserves came up and not only repelled the attack, but turned the Japanese left. The battle closed with the Russian reoccupying positions from which they had been driven. He estimates the Russian loss at 3,000. lie says the Japanese loss must have been heavy. New York, August 31. The entire absence of news up to noon today from Liao Yang is not explained by any advices from either St. Petersburg or Tokio. Inasmuch as it is now midnight in Manchuri.i the only surmise is the telegraphic line is cut north of Liao Yang This is more probable because Sak HarolT reported yesterday that the Japanese force was advancing northwest of Liao Yang. If true this means Kuropfakia communication with Mukden has been served. At the Fair Attended by Many from Here. Indinana week, the present one at the World's Fair, takes a great many from this city. Yesterday and today many Richmondites left to spend a few days at the great exposition and many others will go during this week.

Further immense audiences at yesterdav's sessions of the Chautauqua . . . . . t testified to the success oi the unuertaking and the appreciation of the attenders for the superior order of the program's features so far presented. The morning sessions which are really the meetings of the . County Teachers' Institute, are largely at- ' tennded by the frequenters of the Chautauqua as well as those of the pedagogical profession. Professor Leon Vincent's lecture on Literature being among the most interesting giv-' en in this city under any organization's auspices for several season's,' Professor Vincent's prestige as a wri- J ter lending added dignity to the whole affair. Indeed Richmond people should . consider themselves fortunate in hav ing the opportunity to listen to this distinguished lecturer and author. Edmund Vance Cook.

Mr. Cook might even be accused of playing with his audience a bit now and then, for his own amusement, altho' this does not in any wise detract from the pleasure he gives, Indeed it enhances it after a fashion as ne is too conscientious aiw rare an artist to make this particularly pronounnced. Mr. Cook's entertainment was given in two parts, the first under the head of "Impertinent Poems and Others," the other under "Chronicles of the Little Tot." Mr. Cook was especially happy in his delinneations of child, character, this portion of the program being more heartily applauded, if possible, than the previous numbers. Mr. Cook has

Mrs. Drake in "Old Mammie's Lullaby," a study in negro dialect, quite surpassed herself and to the long continued applause gave a spirited bit of verse in Irish brogue, which was ennthusiastieally appreciated and Mrs. Drake repeatedly acknowledged the applause but did not give further readings. The trio following bv Miss Grinnell, Miss Levin and Mrs. Tinker was one of the most effective on the program for the afternoon, and "Illinois," given by the Quartette was sung with a good deal of feeling and elicited the heartiest applause given to the quartette numbers. The final number "The Serenade," closed the program for the afternoon. A tremendous audience greeted the second appearance of Father Vaughan lecture being the largest and most impressive gathering at the Chautauqua so far, and when it is known that the tent will accommodate 2.500 people and that every seat was taken and the chairs (Continued on Page Five.)

The lady in the case this time is pretty sixteen-year-old Mary Buttles, daughter of U D. Buttles, of Madison avenue, this city. Although she is not yet out of the high school, she has attracted the attenion of the young Korean Prince, and while formal announcement of an engagement has not been made, such a promul gation is expected.

Ohio, he became enamored at, different times. Prince Yee now lives at Salem. Ya., where he is studying under a private tutor. Miss Buttles and her mother spent the summer at Mountain Lake Park, Md., which is not so far from Salem,

so that the Prince could - run over

there to enjoy the pleasures of the re sort. After Prince Yee! met the carP tivating Miss Buttles he devoted him-T. self almost entirely-io her, and just betore her .return to this citv he crave a dinner in. her honor. Coaching : and riding parties for her were numerous. - The Prince always has been averse to walking for the reason that in his faraway country, he says members of royalty are hardly permitted to walk at all. It so haDpens that Miss But tles 's hobby is walking. She succeeded in getting the. tired Prince to trudge all over the mountains, and in his own language he "first became fascinated because she succeeded . in making him do that which he abhorred." . .y;--The Prince will visit here early in the winter and he will be lavishly entertained by the Buttles and their friends.
