ALVAH AND ADELAIDE LYMAN pREEN.
JA BARREL OF FUN”
Alvah Green, the Original Barrel-of
Fun Man, to Be a Feature of the
Coming Chautauqua.
An enthusiastic committeeman re
cently wrote to Mr. Green’s manager
as follows: "That Green man of yours
arrived as you promised, and sure
made good. He’s certainly foolish,
wise and otherwise, and the title of "A
Darrel of Fun” could not be beat.”
That is just one of the many similar
letters that have been received, com
menting on Mr. Green’s work. It is a
notable fact that in all the years of his
Lyceum career, not one complaint has
been filed with his bureau.
A short time ago, in discussing his
work for the coming summer, Mr,
Green said there will be two barrels of
fun this season. That was just Mr.
Green’s way of saying that he would
be accompanied and assisted by his
wife, Adelaide Lyman Green, that ver
satile artist who achieved fame a few
years ago as Adelaide Lyman, at that
time a member of the Wilbur Starr
company.

A large delegation of O’Neill people
went to Inman last Friday and helped
the people of that little village
properly celebrate the nations birth
day. The ball team went down and
crossed bats with the aggregation
from Dorsey and went down to
inglorious defeat, losing by a score of
about 20 to 3. It is said that the
score keeper got tired keeping track
of all the scores made by the Dorsey
ooys and quit before the game was
finished. Aboik everyone on the
O’Neill team was out to see how many
errors he could make and the game,
on their side, is said to have been a
comedy of errors. They say they are
going to give the Dorsey boys another
whirl and try and redeem themselves.
Everybody who went down to Inman
report having had a good time, many
amusements having been provided for
their entertaiument.
Last Friday night a litt le girl lifteeu
years old, named Jessie Benson,
arrived in the city and stopped over
night at the Golden Hotel. The next
morning she asked where Frank
Ellis’ place of business was and inform
ed the landlord that she had come
here from Iowa to marry him. The
authorities were notified and the
little girl, who is nothing more than
a child, was placed under the care of
a family in this city. Wednesday the
county attorney filed a petition in the
district court alleging that the child
was neglected by her mother and step
father and that she came here with
their consent to marry Mr. Ellis,
which account of the great difference
in their ages, Ellis being about 60, it
was not for the best welfare of the
child and against public policy. After
hearing the particulars in the case
Judge Dickson ordered the girl sent to
the industrial school at Geneva to
remain until she reaches the age of
eighteen years.

SOUTHLAND JUBILEE SINGERS.
ALWAYS POPULAR
Colored Jubilee Troupes Take Well
With Lyceum and Chautauqua
Patrons.
“Yes, Jubilee Troupes are always pop
ular with the public. It may be a little
difficult to explain the psychological
principle involved, but it is there,”
said a lyceum man the other day. He
went on to say that when lyceum com
mittees experience a deficit, they al
most invariably call for a jubilee com
pany, or something similar, to help
them pay out on their courses, and the
beautiful part of it all is that commit
tees are rarely disappointed in their
expectations.
As a Chautauqua attraction the jubi
lee troupe never fails—that is if it be
a good one. The Southland Jubilee
Singers, which come here during the
Chautauqua, was first organized twen
ty years ago. and reorganized five
years later. It is one of the oldest and
strongest, companies in the Chautau
qua or Ivceum field.

Descendant of Alexander Hamilton,
Revolutionary Patriot, to Appear
Here During Chautauqua.
Dr. Harry Otis Pritchard was.born
just one hundred years after the sign
ing of the Declaration of Independ
ence. It was in a little farm dwelling
of four rooms, down in old Hoosier
dom, that he first saw the light of day.
In discussing his early history a few
days ago, he said that he grew to man
hood amongst the pumpkins and
squashes and looked very much like
one of them.
DR. H. O. PRITCHARD.
The name “Pritchard” is Welch and
the family tree goes back to Roger
Pritchard, a co-laborer with Geotgel
Fox in the founding of the Friends’!
church. But there is other blood min-i
gled with the Welch. On the maternal]
side it is Scotch and goes back to
Alexander Hamilton. One paternal
line is English and another is Irish. So
in Dr. Pritchard we have the blood of
Wales, Scotland, Ireland and England.
He possess the characteristic qualities
of each nationality: The will of the
English, the logic of the Scotch, the
humor of the Irish and the piety of
the Welch. Indeed, he might will be
termed the man of many nationalities.
SEASON TICKET PLAN BEST.
You may go to the Chautauqua with
a season ticket, or a single admission
ticket you buy at the gate. On the
season ticket plan the cost is about
half of what it Is on the other plan
The season ticket may be used by anj
member of the family. Besides, the
community's interest in a Chautauqua
Is measured largely by the season
ticket sales. The Chautauqua s perma
nency depends on them.
Matthew Arnold and the Girls.
Of Matthew Arnold ns a school ex
aminer a tale Is told by a fellow in
spector of a class of girl pupil teachers
that he asked Arnold to examine for
him. Arnold gave them all the excel
lent mark.
"But,” said the other inspector,
“surely they are not all as good as they
can be. Some must be better than oth
ers.”
“Perhaps that is so,” replied Arnold.
“But then, you see, they are all such
very nice girls.”
Professionally Considered.
“The Declaration of Independence is
a wonderful document,” said the patri
otic citizen.
“Yes,” replied the legal expert "It’s
one of the ablest documents I ever saw.
And the most remarkable thing is that

body nppears to have received a cent
for d:awing it up.”—Washington Star.

“Ah, pretty lady,” said the fortune
teller, “you wish to be told about your
