A. in llio first woman ordained to the ministry of religion in England. She is of (-icrinan birth being decent i'd of an old Prussian family. She received the greater part of I ier edu cation in (ireat lJrUiau and is a graduate of the l.'iiivcpdty of Kdin burg and ol Manchestor College, Ox ford. She completed her studies un der the. leading theologians of the University of Berlin. Miss Von Petzold has from her early girlhood taken a keen inter est in all movements of reform, es pecially those affecting lior own sex, She espoused the cause of woman suffrage before leaving college and has never since wavered in her al legiance to that movement. When the militant suffragists in England three yeartt ago aroused a storm of indignation by their bold tacticH she was among the first minisWirs in that country who dared to champion them. Although Miss Von Petzold haH not been a year in Iowa she is rec ognized !ih one of the leading women speakers in the state. Hie has pro bably more often spoken on women suffrage during the past year than any other women in Iowa. It is well known how she met Senator (Jilli Hand in public deb.te last summer. Senator Shirley Gillilland is of Scotch-Irish parentage. Twenty five years' practice of law give bini great ability in debate. He is wholly in earnest in his opposition touniversal suffrage, beliving that the women of America have no real grievance, that the agitation is eith er misguided or insincere, that it tends to unsettle the noblest ideals of womanhood, to belittle the home and motherhood, to weaken the marriage bonds ami disrupt the home. He argucK that there can be no such thing as inferiority or superiority or equality between the sexes for the reason that their en dowments and functions arc no dif ferent that it is plain that God nev er intended man and women should be rivals and contestants, bat al ways companions and helpmates. Senator Gillilland is not a grouchy old bachelor, but has a delightful family to which he is deeply devot ed. Florence E. Maybrick This relined and cultured Ameri can woman was lately released af ter conliuemenl in the English pris on for lifteen years, and now strip ped of the fortune, and torn from her children she returns to America to tell her sad stoiy. .Mrs. .May brick was tried in July, I88t, for causing the death by poison of her husband who was an English noble man of aristocratic family. She was sentenced to be executed, but this was commuted to a life sentence. So weak was the evidence against her that her conviction was a shock to public opinion both in America and England. A few months after the trial the jtiiticc who presided became hopelessly insane. Peti tions were signed by thousands of people of prominence in America and England asking for her release. Among the signers arc found the names of Levi P. .Morton, .1, G. Blaine, Chas. Foster. Cardinal Gib bons, General Breckenridge and others. .Mrs. Maybrick has visited the prisons in some twenty-six of the states since her release and her chautauqua lecture compares prison life in Europe with prison condi tions in America. "'Mrs. May brick's Own Story" is a number you can't afford to miss. The Highland Ladies Orchestra The Highland Ladies Orchestra is under the direction of Miss Etta Wood, who is a graduate of the Highland Park Conservatory is one of the fust violinists ol Des Moines. She has been leader of the Highland String Quartette, Ladies Orchestra which will appear at adozen of the best Chautaitquas in this country. 'Jt-TO-?'S,C lKyaaLEkiLBBlBLLLaB Charles Grant Jordan. In ten years Dr. Charles (Jrant Jordan will be widely known in every part of our great country. Though young in appearance, he is old in deeds. His career lias been ync uninterruped succc" from boyhood to the present moment, lie is a whirlwind of oratory, a cy clone of logic, with an overflow of spontaneous humor and a na ture beaming with good fellowship. While yet in college he was styled "The Little 3iant" because of his profound convictions, his genius for work, and his iuatc ability as an orator and debater. Ho has carried that title over this country and Eu rope. In less than live years after graduating from Princeton Semin ary lie was preaching to the largest Presbyterian audience in Ohio, ad dressing overflow audiences. At the Great Corn Palace, Mitchell, S. 1)., he spoke on the same platform with Taft, Bryan, ChaHnaud Debs and did not suffer by comparison but easily held his own us an orator and public speaker. In appearance he will remind you of Napoleon, in speech of Gough and in notion of Edwin Booth. By profession lie is an evangelist, by choice a student and by nature au orator. The world need Dr. Jordan and mauy more with such noble aspirations. liLBaBBliLLLLLLLELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLH bbtbtbTI Mfs ll lw..tm T bbMbtbtbii BBTaTaTaTl" ibtbbI bbbbkvR? tfc ,b WUSL J' TanbaB' JbbbI aRTjIWWrtW' TlaMiBWCrBPV-ai LKTtiWWrp toM&nVfixX JawFy Jw ate I The Royal Hungar ian Orchestra. Chautauqua and lyccum audiences have been acquainted with the Royal Hungarian Orchestra for many years. It success in this country .has been phenomenal, due to the unusual skill of its individual members. While the or chestra is Hungarian, its leader is American. Mr. James Thatcher was elected to head the organization because of his better understanding of ;;the American taste for music os well us his skill. The orchestra's playing is in spiring and its programs present a pleasing variety of the choicest music. Luther Burbank's Work. By Henry A. Adrian. Prof. Luther Burbank, "The Wizard of Horticulture," was born in Lancas ter, Mass., in the year 1849. His early days were spent on the New England farm, where as a lad he developed a wonderful aptitude for plants and plant life. His education was completed in Lancaster Academy and in the year 1875 he moved to Santa Rosa, Calif., which is now known the world over as the home of the Burbank Experimental Farms and Gardens. In the popular mind, the impression being assisted largely by the newspapers and the tales of the average tourist who viiita Santa Rosa, the work of Mr. Burbank has taken something of the uncanny mysterious qualities which are associat ed wlththeterm Wizard." .:22siiggggjffe- bbbbbEvbbbS BBBBBBBBBBBBBr AvBvBvBl BBBBBBBBBBBBBBBjK .

The young men have been to gether throughout the quartet's curccr and the demand upon their time keeps them busy throughout the Chautauqua season and for thirty-two weeks of the lyceum season besides in every year. Their program has a pleasing variety. Moreover, tho young mon themselves are pleasing in their personalty. The Oriole Trio.

He not only pleases and touches cords of human interest, but he arouses new enthusiasm in mo wnoie problem or right living.

Staurt speaks in com munities where he is known, hundreds are turned away because there isn't n hall big enough to hold all who come to hear him. There isn't n man on the Chautanqua programs this year with more and better recommendations from big men than Geo. It. Staurt hss. The distinguished Dr. Mclntyre suys he thanks God for his goodness in giving the world such a man as Staurt.

If youdonot want u lecturer that makes you weep and laugh, that stirs you to hate the evil and love the good and arousea you to shako the dust of dullness off your feet and to bo a live man, do not get Dr. Frank G.

It gives me great pleasure to say that Dr. Frank G. Smitn, pastor of Warren Ave. Congregational Church, Chicago, is one of the ablest and most persuasive pulpit orators I have heard in many years, and he is also able and eloquent on the lecture platform. Un derstanding that he is to enter that field I take pleasure in commending him to anyone having an interest in public lectures. I make this statement with out reservation and without qualifica tion. tHtfs&s BLLBs'r7' LLLLH BBTBBTBBTBBTKkLBBTBBTBBTBBTBl bHIWH BBBHr'lf HKfaBH BBBBBBKni' IS&BKBBBBBbI JEBtJnu2JIE4BBBBH HLbE&IbbHbbbbbB HuHBBBBBBBtiaBBBBBBBBBBBBaV BLbBPIbBBb!
