The greatest lecture ever given from the Chautauqua platform la the unanl- mous verdict pronounced upon the ad dress of Bishop Melntyre yesterday afternoon. Taklnsr as Jits subject, "The Evolution of Abraham Lincoln," the speaker rose to heights of eloquence never before heard In the groves of Gladstone park. The evolution of Lincoln enme through three things: his humor which Btarted him in life: his honesty, which -tarried htm forward, and his humanity which consummated his life. I'pon each one of these traits in the charac ter of Lincoln, the speaker enlnisi'd; and gave striking Instances to Illus trate his points. One eloquent picture after another, warm with adulation, wreathed in mer riment or dripping with th tears of a heartbroken country, the speaker j brought In rapid succession Derore nis audience which for two hour he held spellbound. ... . , One of his most magnificent rllghta of oratory was the illustration of the life of Lincoln ho found when he gasecl into Mirror lake in the Yosemlte, nnd aw the sun rise six times, from above that many mountain heights, each one of which he likened to the periods of Lincoln's career, namely, his lonely clillrthnnl the rmrlod of nreniirntlon ftr the bar.

In closing, the picture l.e drew of the funeral cortege, as It passed out or Philadelphia tietwton seven miles or solid humanity, uftcr the remains had laid In state for two days In Inde pendence hall, brought tears to every ye In the vast audience. Intense Heat Mo Drawback. Intense heat was one of tho perqui sites handed out to Chautauqua vis itors yesterday, but It seemed to he desired for thev came by scores from the surroundlnir country and by car loads from Jr'oruana una urtiuo City. To temper the heat a fine breere was stirring, which with tho dense shade of the historic oaks, kept people from suffering, and made them feel. hot as It was, a pleasant reller rrom th h.it nt flip town. With the prom ise of somewhat cooler weather Sun day, large crowds are expected for the religious services. nut one sentiment was expressed, wi.nn iht p-onir pounded for tho last lesson yesterday morning, and ,'good hve" was said between, teacher and nun s. and inm whs sincere r-ici. Stripped of the strenuousness of tho classroom, these lessons lane ine juini of familiar talks, nnd the relation be tween the teacher and the taught grows verv close. Among some there Is n feeling that something more sys tematic should prevail, and the regu lar Chautauqua course of study has been suggested, but to many thla Is the season of vacation and arduous work :"f'ould defeat the purpose for which they came. At the c1ob of Mrs. Miller's courtBe of domestic science she was fairly" besieged ior recipes from which she had been teaching, and if she gives but a small percentage of those asked she will have employment for the rest of the summer writing rthem. The readings from Uncle Remus andthe memorlaJ services which were hold at tho literature class of r Hondley brought tears to the eves of marw when they remembered that the last humorous an'l pathetic words have been spoken bv tnat Kindly soul, joei Chandler Harris, who for many years showed the best and truest side of the neero character to the world.

Larre as the amphithe atre was on.e baa to nuatie lor a van tace ulac. I'romptly at the appointed hour the iirsi piece waa set oir ana ior over an hour there was a steady pjrrotaohnloal display that has exceeded any that have evor before been shown on the grounds ami woulitrlvtu earns or the best that have over Peen offered In Portland. No accident happened to mar the rileaaure of the evening, and altogether It formed a nappy ana satisfactory conclusion. There waa the usual mad rush for cara, everybody believing they were go ing to oe lert Ann not a soul to say ' I told you so" after the cara had pulled out. The entertainment offered by Profes sor Grille)' under the auspices of the Young Men's Christian association did credit to the teacher and the associa tion. Few Campers leaving. Time wus when every camper on the ground thought it waa his duty to take time by the forelock and get out before his neighbor, and by Saturday night the grounds were almost deserted. This yeur has been exceptional In that respect. Everyone seems to have a de sire to linger on. so that verv few will move out before Monday, and a few are contemplating staying on for a few dflVS Or A WAk illflt 4 tr Iha lilun .ii ra . . t camping, provided the water supply will be continued. K subdued feeling cf sadness and re- rrret pervaded the Chautauqua grounds ast evening when the lights went out at the close of the last program of Hie season, when the "Oood Night" ushed from the flold down below tho diamond and the last car went rolling through the grounds and tho tenters realised thut only a Sunday, to be good In, remained of their rest and vacation anil season of study. Kow epKons. however, have closed with sucTli entire satisfaction and good will as this one. From the atari n feeling of good will aiul harmony be tween management and patrons llia ex Isted. consequently things have gone unouiiii). ana wnn me routing or the tents will come the determination to be among tho early returners nut vmr The breaking up of the Chautauqua camp Is always of peculiar sadness and regret. On the other hand, many friend ships are made that Inst for years, and the coming together time after time at i nnuiauqua Is like the gathering of a great family on a festive occasion. To these the fact that the asseuibly this yKr niis ueen a nnanciai success Is great Joy. for it means another and an even oetter session next year. THIRD ANNUAL FLOWER SHOW OF MULTNOMAH COUNTY SCHOOL CHILDREN SURPASSES ALL PREVIOUS EXHIBITS , V V n J., AXFRED UAMMEb, Curious Mexirun Indiitns. From the Mexican Herald. Rurled in the heart of a civilized powerful unii progressive foreign peo ple, a little hundlul of Indians have liven ror .nm years, and have contrived to keep during all thut time their na tional characteristics, their traditions and their individuality. If you seek them yon will find them In Amatlan de los Reyes, a tillage in (he state of Vera Cms, Mexico. They are the Amutccas. The Amat'ocas are perhapp the only people in the republic who have suc ceeded in retaining for themselves what Is practically self-government. , It must not be understood for a moment that they make any pretensions to being in dependent of the control of Mexican government. National Dish of ISrazil. "After existing in South American countries for the las' eight months it's good to get back to town where one can get something to eat." eaid R. q. Bree den, a San Francisco mining engineer. "Most of the time I've been In the south was spent In Brazil. In that coun try the national dish is jerked beef and black beans, and one sees nothing else. Nowhere In South America, excrpt in Buenos Ayrea, can a stranger from the Vntted States get a meal that will tickle his palate. The South Americans surely don't know the rudiments of cooking. Every dish they bring you Is something in grease and garllo and so dosed with peppor as to nearly strangle you. Once moro the annual flower show of the Multnomah county school' children has come and gone and those who have seen the exhibits of the various years declare that the one held In the city hall yesterday was by far the finest of the three. In discussing the show. Su perintendent R. F. Robinson who orig inated the idea and upon whom has de volved the expense of the shows, salu that the sweet peas exhibited yesterday far surpassed those of former years. 'rTwo years ago," declared Superln-! tendent Robinson, "there was but one exhibit of King Alfred sweet peas. At that time they were the only up-to-date variety shown. This year we hnd many displays of King Alfreds besides many aispiavs or stin newer varieties. this fact shows that the children are enter ing into the spirit of tho show. Excellent Exhibits. "There Is only one drawback to hold ing the display at this time of the year. Many school children who have spent several months In growing their flow ers were unable to attend the show be cause of the necessity of their presence in the berry patohos. Perhaps next year the exhibits will be local and In chareo of the parents of the locality rather than eentrai display. Unite another view was taken bv the children who exhibited. They were in ror the competition with great zest and their beautiful displays confirmed Su perintendent Robinson's estimate of the show. Two of the prettiest displays were exhibited by Maurine Thurmond of St. Johns. This particular miss took third prize last year, hut she took care this year that her display should be better and it was so much better that Instead of a third prize she took two first prizes. Her exhibit of Spencer lyortcis and creamy whites attracted favorable comment from visitors. Other Successful Ones. Faye Robinson, a voung daughter of Superintendent Robinson, was another successful competitor and had" the dls- 0s "v- A -vWvt 1 ; lit I Vt: J-iW-' ' ' R S'V A I ;k- :V- .
