IIIN Aililri-HK llpforiCliittiliiiiiiiin Circle
nt riiv-l Mctlt'iillMl.
An address by W. r. Ourloy en "Oratory
and Orators" was the main feature of the
program which entertained the members of
the Chautauqua circle of the Kir at Methodist
church l.ift evening. The address , however ,
wao prcc dcd by two excellent papers on
subjects Incidental to the line ot study
which Hie circle Is now pursuing. J. T ,
Dctwpiler contributed a very Interesting talk
on the cotton glu and Its effects on the In
dustrial and agricultural world. He gave
n brief history of the development of the
Invention and pointed out the Important
beating which It had on the cotton Industry
of the world.
"Tho Uffcct of Machinery on Labor" was
dlsciuued by II , L Day , who took Issue with
the asrertlon that when a machine was In
vented by which one man was able to do the
work of ten , the other nine were thrown
upon the street. Ho < howcd how the sur
plus labor was absorbed Into new channels ,
and held that the greatest objection to the
development of labor saving machines was
that It had a tendency to make machines of
men , and to circumscribe their Intelligence
and energy Into narrower channels.
Mr. Ourley received a very Mattering re
ception In beginning , he remarked that the
question might be n keil , what had we to do
with oratory nud orators ) In this ago of
whirling wlnels and spindles , when the prac
tical was everywhere crowding out the
superllultlps of life. Ho declared that wo
nllll should have tin Interest In oratory , It
for no other rfason because oratory waa
history. The great orators _ of the _ world
were the history makers of Gil ages , in re
ferrlng to some of the greatest oratoM o ,
history , ho began with Demosthenes Hi !
was the great voice that comes to U9 mil
ot the depths ot antiquity raised for humar
freedom and human rights. He was thi
first man of Athene , when to bo the flrs
man of Athens meant to be the first mar
of Greece. He stood for thirty jears at' '
Umptlng to Impress the Grecian heart am
mind wltli the glory of their pist and ti
Ineplie thorn to resist apgre'ulous of I'lillll ]
ot Macedonia. But his efforts were In vain
and It wat < truly said that ho was the oratoi
of an Inspiring ra > .
Cicero was a great orator because h
fpolvo for ropubllcinlsm. He was the las' '
prcat orator of republican Home. It vvai
against his voice that the" republic wen
down and that grand democracy was swal
lowed up In the dynatty of the Caesars
Hut his voice was heard all thrcugb the ages
It spoke from the lips of Kossuth , of Mlra <
beau , of Patrick Henry , of Wendell Phllllpi
and of Henry Ward needier.
13mlbo do C"a tro was alluded to as cne e
t' ' c greatest of 1 vine orators As a pro
fc sur In the unlvor&lty at Madrid he eit
thtifcd his bludcnts by his portrajals o
hlbtor cal scenes , and he finally cost off thi
piofessar's gown to assume the garment o
a tribune. Hut his vision ot a Spanish re
public , founded on the ruins of Castlllai
lojaltj' , vanished almost as soon as It wai
formed. But his words were Immortal , am
they would echo until the emancipation o
Spain from the burden of rojalty evoutuill :
came ta pass.
Lord Chatham , John Bright , Edmund Burk :
and others were alluded to as examples c
Hngl'sh orators , but the speaker , declarci
that of all the orators the world had eve :
known the greatest were Wendell I'hllllpj
and Henry Ward needier. They were grea
bpeau o they spoke for human liberty In i
country where their countrjmen were op
posed to them. They spoks for the ncgn
in the face of the most bitter criticism , am
thej boat and hammered at the columns o
the Institution of human slavery until the ;
crumbled before their touch. Bcccher ex
celled all orators in his mastery of his art
All his resources were at h s instantaneou :
command , and as an extemporaneous spcake :
bo was without a reer.
Mr. Ourloy contended that courage was ai
essential to the true orator. He must havi
the conviction that he Is right and have IK
hesitation In expressing Jits ideas.
He close 1 his remarks by relating a num
b = r of anecdotes which Illustrated the dls
Unction between art and artifice in oratory

slou , I would be sure to disobey bis order1
and getn > self locked up. Tlnally. I wai
talked Into going , and went. We tool
quarters at the Hcffman house , and wen

about my relationship with Butler was tha
my hatred for him turned In the o tci

Twcntj-flve jears ago Mr. Smith located
on the Red River of the North. "All that
part of the country was a wilderness , " he
said. "The only Inhabitants were redskins ,
Wahpcton and Brcckenrldge were unknown ,
The nearest house occupied by whites was
forty miles east of us Now Wahpoton and
Breckenrldgo are two thriving cities. 1
named the city of Wahpcton. It Is the site
of an Indian village In the od ) reservation
ot the Wahpetons. I returned to New Yoik
several years ago to live , but still have
property Interests In the Red river valley
and go there every jcar. "
Mr. Smith Is now a staunch republican , a
are all the other members of the party , ex
cept Mr. Purcell. They call him the black
sheep of the flock. Mr. Purcell Is a Cleve
land appointee He Is not counting on u
democratic victory In North Dakota thlt
jear , but thinks the party may make It at
the next presidential canvass , provided the
silver craze dies out by that time. He says
that North Dakota has lots of silver bugs ,
but that the republican party will carry the
state.

$15 and $16.50 they arc now $12.00 , Others for
merly selling at $12 and $13.50. and worth consider
able more than that , arc now only $10.00 , and so

Mr = > . OrmlBton Chant spoke before tl
Woman's club jcatordny afternoon at tl ;
First Congregational church. Her s > ubjc <
way "Tho Mother In Education. "
This was Mrs. Chant's fourth kctuio I
the city and there was no vacant seat In tl
largo auditorium.
Much of the discourse was in the natur
of an account of personal experience wit
her own children ; was , In fact , a hearl t
heart talk.
In brief , Mrs Chant stands for all th
newest thought upon child culture. Glv
the children sound bodies , let them cllm
trees , play In dlrl and be natuial , the sma
savages nature Intends them to be. Reduc
the ncceaary arbitrary obedience to a mln
mum , but let commands be absolute. Abov
all , keep the child unconscious of hlmpel
To do this avoid allowing lemarks made I
his pros'onco of which ho Is the rubjec
Tbo child mind has no light to be tunic
In upon Itself. That It Is turnel to Is o
the loot of many of the serious and annoyln
faults among children. Mra. Chant spok
earnestly ot a child's spiritual need Do nc
try to leach him many things regarding the
ology. Tlio ilmple fact that God made th
moon , the eartli and all we ee Is i-utllclon
that ho ( the child ) Is a little pirk ot God'
thought , and hcnco nmut "trlve haul to le
this thought shine with its best light. Of
hereafter , It Is perhaps sufficient to say tha
there Is another world callcJ heaven , vvhlc
Is our homo after death.
In the tulle of Mrs Chart's own home an
children the pronoun "our" slipped from be
tongue In so easy n manner that It mlgh
have been n relict to the people who ar
fearful that the progressive woman Is goliij
to exclude her bus-ami fiom the managemcn
of her family.
After the lecture , which lasted an hour
a reception was given In the purlois of th
church. Probably 000 Oiniha women per
sonally thanked Mr = . Clnnt for the re
Infircoment flic had given to fie thought
which they all In some part think and strlv
to realize In living
The pleasure of the occasion wa heightens
by the presence of Miss Knld Smith , win
will speak to the nnulcal depaitmcnt o
