PROF. VINCENT

WS THE LION (Continued From First Page.) individualities. Professor Vincent began by contrasting the hurried and neglected funeral of Carlisle, one of England's' greatest men, with that of a.opular horse jockey who died at about the same time, the latter's obsequies being conducted with great ostentation, attended by many of the great aristocrats of English society, the Prince of Wales having sent a wreath. Professor Vincent emphasized Carlisle's real lovableness despite his captiousness, moroseness and selfishness in little things, for Carlisle was only selfish in little things not in the great ones. This was illustrated with the story of the destruction of the first volume of "The French Revolution " in manuscript, the latter having been loaned John Stuart Mill and by him lent to a woman of his acquaintance whose careless maid used the manuscript for kindling her mistuess's fires. The frightful explanation which had to be made by Mill left him jn a state of collapse, altho' Carlisle insisted to his wife that Mill should not know that that was the only copy, all notes even baring been destroyed, and it was only after several hours that Mill discovered the result of Carlisle's great work had been entirely destroyed. In this Carlisle displayed the true spirit which really always animated him. America was the first to recognize Carlisle's genius substantially, at three different times IboO checks having been sent him by an American publisher who was under no contract or business obligation to do sp on account of anomalous copyright conditions, while on the other hand, the English publisher who. had been in position to do so had met every claim before that of the author. Carlisle disliked appearing on the platform so intensely that after his first series of lectures, arranged by Harriet Martineau, he refused to appear again and did not do so until some twenty-five years later at the time of being made Lord Rector of the University of Edinburg. Professor Vincent's picture of Mrs. Carlisle was one of a vivid, brilliant, fascinating personality, with the intellect of a man, yet possessing the most subtle charm of femininity, a beautiful girl with many lovers, whom she delighted to torment, and for whom she cared not in the least; an overwhelming sense of. the ridiculous, an impulsive temper, a tongue like a lash, the artistic temperament, in short, a woman to whom happiness was an impossibility under anv condition. That the Carlilies loved each other sincerely cannot be doubted !r those reading careot be u illlv all fv the chronicles of their lives, Carlisle having been unfortunate in his biographer, Fronde, who, with the best intention gave to the world a false picture of their domestic infelicities. After Mrs. Carlisle's sudden death at the time Carlisle was in attendance on the ceremonies at Edinburgh, Carlisle ceaselessly reproached himself for not having been kinder, more indulgent, but this is a more or less universal lamentation. Professor Vincent expressed himself as reparding Carlisle as having no equal in literature, and being absolutely unique. . Professor Vincents compelling manner of presentation, his humor, his gentle ironies, and absolute knowledge make him one of the most charming lecturers of the day. The members of the Dixie Concert company, known generally as "The Jubilee Singers," captured their audience the instant they stepped upon the platform yesterday afternoon in the "first of their appearances in the series of Chautauqua entertainments, and their hearers were delighted to L-nnw 4lior wirmTjl n niuar twico rlailv untn the q tfae Chantau The company is made up of Mr. W. C. Buckner, manager and basso; Mr. Moore, first tenor; Mr. Hall, second tenor; Mr. Board, baritone; Madame Buckner, first soprano; and Miss Hecker. Although put at some disadvantage by the noise made by the rain on the roof of the tent and the confusion consequent upon the discomfort caused by the downpour, the company gave the following program in great form, and with much dash and spirit, omitting the purely sole numbers that were to be given without the addition of ensemble singing. Possessed of all that dramatic instinct and intuitive feeling for melodv, rhvthm and harmonious ensemble effect characteristic of their race, with an instant comprehension of the . calibre and mood of their audiences, these delightful people inspired their hearers with the greatest enthusiasm testified to by the overwhelming applause at the close of each number, and, had time permitted the program would have been doubled by the insistent encores. The following is the i program in detail : ,

Chorus from , Oratorio "While to

Musie Entrancing" Sextette "A High Old Time." "Hannah." , v. ; - "Ding Dong Bells" (omitted) ...... Miss Hecker. , "Camp a Little While", .: Mr.' Hall "Suawnee River' ' Water Fall ' ' (omitted) .......... Madame Buckner. "Great Camp Meeting". .Mr. Board "Dese Bones Shall Rise Again" .... Mr. Buckner. The quartettes for nvui's voices were substituted for the above omitted numbers, these being "The Irish Jubilee," and "When the Great Day comes." The company has been filling Chautauqua engagements continuously since the fifteenth of June, closing the summer season on the 9th of September in Wisconsin, having been as far west as Boulder, Colorado, during this period. They travel under the direction of the Chicago Lyceum Bureau nd already have 100 engagements arranged for the coming winter itinerary, going to many of the best known lecture courses given in the large cities notably that in Denver. Evening Concert. The second concert of the Jubilee Singers was given at a quarter to nine o'clock last evening and was, as expected, one of the enjoyable events of the day. The program was longer and more pretentious than in the afternoon, several solo numbers, notably that of Madame Buckner being received with tremendous applause. Madame Buckner before her marriage ; with the manager of the Dixie Concert Company, was the famous Neil Warner, one of the best known colored sopranos on the American stage. She has, and has had, very few equals among the contemioraneous singers of her race and her sole appearance in an entirely solo part last evening elicited delighted comment from her audience. Mr. and Mrs. Buckner were for some years members of the "Tennesseans"," or "Fiske Jubilee Singers,'' who were the original Jubilee Singers but since that Company disbanded have sung in The Dixie Concert Company, under Mr. Buckuer's management, this latter Company having been in existence for five years. Madame Buckner has a mezzo-soprano of remarkable sweetness and range, with charming lyrical quality, and her future single appearances are looked forward to with eagerness. The most unique entertainment so far, from the standpoint of absolute novelty, was that given by the Kaffir Boy's Choir, managed and directed by Mr. James II. Balmer, who is ably and charmingly assisted by Miss Elsie Clark, both Mr. Balmer and Miss Clark being residents of South Africa, the entertainment being made up of Old English and Native Kaffir songs and short talks by Mr. Balmer and Miss Clark on various phases of life among the natives of what is popu larly known as the "dark continent." The most appealing member of the Choir is the smallest and youngest who came to this country alone all the way from South Africa some two years ago and who at once captivated the audience by his clever little personality. This little chap is very imitative and his imitation of the sounds made by a cat, a dog, a donkey, and a native bird known as the "wooddove," called forth laughter and applause from the audience. The duet given by this engaging youngster and the next most juvenile member of the company was delightful, their enunciation being astonishingly distinct and clear, and the impersonation of two characters alternately addressing each other in song being wonderful ly effective. The patriotic Song, with a finale of waving flags, was encored again and again, being given with great spirit, dramatic effect and verve. The primitive native air by the choir in ensemble was, perhaps, the most in teresting number musically on the program, being full of melodious cadences, and sung with fine appreciation of shading and color, a sort of melancholy chant of a primitive people. This is a Kaffir melody harmonized specially for this Choir and should be interesting to the student of folk songs. Miss Clark attired in native costume of the Kaffir women, or, as she wittily put it, several costumes in one, entertainingly talked of life and conditions among these people, she having been born and having lived among the Kaffirs- until a young woman, her father being a business man, not a missionary. She stated that people unknowingly made no distinction in the meaning of the word "native," for while she was a native of South Africa, her parents were white people. Because one is a native of America it does not necessarily follow that he is an Indian. Because Miss Clark was born in South Africa it does not follow that she is a Kaffir. Miss Clark's Colonial manner of speeeh is very fascinating and that both Mr. Clark and Mr. Balmer are thoroughly conscientious is shown by the entertainment given last evening. . i Mr. Balmer is an interesting person-

ality, being a member of a number of

scientific organizations, riot ably of the Royal Geographical SoeietvyC-which ke was recently made a "Fellow," in recognition of his valuable contribution to certain phasts of research and discovery, this being ail organization of an exclusive and special character, which also honored Livingstone, Stanley and other celebrities. Mr. Balmer was well acquainted with the great Cecil Rhoades, whom he describes as a lovable man if once the outward shell of reserve and crustiness was penetrated. He was delighted with the work accomplished by Mr. Balmer and had a social performance arranged for his own benefit and pleasure. Mr. Balmer, with his company was in this country for several seasons twV years ago but returned to South Africa for fresh voices and other material. In England he has been given the most pronounced appreciation, appearing before a number of the members of the Royal Family, including the Princess of Wales, the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh, the Duke and Duchess of Teck and main' other notabilities at great social functions in London. Their present season closes shortly in Michigan. Miss Clark wore a beautiful bead apron, last evening as a decorative element of her costume, stating tkat this apron, when worn by a Kaffir belle, was the latter's anly adornment. Things are very much reversed in this country according to Miss" Clark's account. While the man sits I in the house doing beautiful ''fancywork, his wife, or wives, for the native Kaffir is a gentleman of Mor mon proclivities, plow the fields and engage in all the hard manual labor generally supposed to be done by the u.en of a household. Tliere is, also, a special instrument, known as the wife-beater, literally, being manufactured for the sole purpose, says Miss 71ark, of keeping unruly wives in a state of subjection. The whole entertainment given by these ieopIe is novel, fresh and interesting, and their ?econd and last appearance this afternoon will draw an audience of the same huge proportions that greeted them last evening. The Kaffir boys in native costumes were picturesque objects, but they suffer very much from the cold. Mr. Balmer states, however, that danip weather affects them curiously and that he finds them more difficult of control than when it is colder but not so humid, their climate being very dry and the dampness affecting them unpleasantly. They afe on the whole tractable, says Mr. Balmer, however, and very clever, teachable and bright. Mr. Leon Vincinet should not bo confused with his relative, Professor George Vincent, a professor of sociology in Chicago University. Mr. Leon Vincent is a resident of Boston, although a westerner by birth, Chicago being his native city. However, he is to all intent a New Englander having had a residence there almost all his life, his scholarly tastes fitting in with that environment more harmoniously than would be the case in a place with the atmosphere of Chi-, eago. Mr. Vincent is one of the best known writers on purely literary subjects in America as well as one of the most popular lecturers on themes of this character, his lectures on English and American literature being made up of four series, the first including Chaucer to Dr. Johnson; the second, Wordsworth to the Present Time; third, American Authors; this series being presented in Richmond this week,and fourth,French Authors. Hi series of brochures on French Literature are well known; these books being in the Morrisson-Reeves library, and are attractive volumes in format. "American Literary Masters" covering the period from Washington Irving to "Ike Marvel,". (Donald G. Mitchell) is in press and will be issued bj Houghton, Mifflin & Co., in the spring. These essays will treat of nineteen of America s greatest literary men and it will doubtless be one of the successful books of next spring's publishing season. Mr. Vincent is a book lover and collector, owning a number of rare, old and first editions, being the author of that charming little book "The Bibliotaaph," which orinigally appeared in the pages of the "Atlantic Monthly." Mr. Vincent upon departure from this city goes to New York where he will be the guest of Mr. Francis Wilson at his country home in New Rochelle. Mr. Wilson, is, by the way, a fastidious collector of books and' objects of art, and has many valuable editions, manuscripts and the like. Mrs. Nelly Hough Sudbury, one of the well known teachers of Muncie, is the guest of Mr. and Mrs. D..L. Mather in their tent, near the west entrance. to the Chautauqua grounds. Mrs. Sudbury has, in addition to ler success in teaching, made a success as a subscription agent for a number of well known publications, notably the Saturday Evening Post, in whieh many of the poems of Edmund Vance Cook have first appeared.
