Rev. Gertrude
Von Petzold
Kov. Gertrude- Von Petzold M.
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.

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.

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."

When Geo. R. Staurt speaks in com
munities where he is known, hundreds

If youdonot want u lecturer that

when ho lectures. Like cloth that is all
wool and a yard wide, he wears welL

Dubuque, la.
Senator from Iowa.
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
