CIRICILLO'S
CIRICILLO'8 ITALIAN BAND COM
ING TO CHAUTAUQUA.
This Laud one of the world's really
great bands will give two concerts on
tbe Chautauqua program here. This
means that we will have one of the
most notable "baud days" of auy
Chautauqua In the country.
It will be known as Music day on
the Chautauqua program, for the
Thavlu Grand Opera Company Is to
join with tbe band at night In giving
a great music festival. In the after
noon Clrlclllo and his men give the en
tire program. Tbe members of this
band have traveled together for ten
years, and that means much to an or
ganization of this kind.
The band will give a popular concert
in tbe evening preceding the "music
festival" by the Grand Opera Compa
ny. The entire Dana win assist tne
Thavlu company In this festival, mak
ing It one of tbe biggest music fea
tures ever presented on any Chautau
qua. All the thousands of dollars that par
ents spend upon their children every
year in musical education will not ben
efit as it should unless the children
bave a high musical ideal set before
them. This Is what Ch-icillo's great
band does. The band has toured the
world, playing In all of the important
cities of America and in most of the
large cities of Europe.
It Is probable that many parties from
other towns will attend "music day"
at tbe Cbautauqua.

DR. THOMAS E. GREEN, WORLD
FAMOUS ORATOR.
Only occasionally does a genuine ora

affairs, and when he does he always
finds an audience awaiting him, no
matter where he may speak. Dr.
Thomas E. 3recn Is one of these ora
tors. Dr. Green, who is to lecture on our
Chautauqua on "The Burden of the
Nations," Is literally a world lecturer,

PETER MAC QUEEN, WAR CORRE

tauqua, is one of America's greatest
war correspondents. He served In

pines with General Lawton one of the
most famous olficers in the army and
still later served as war correspondent
attached to Madero's army In Mexico
when Mudero ousted President Diaz.
His services as war correspondent
however, represent only a small part of
bis travels.
MacQueen has traveled all over the
world, spending bis time In odd spots.
He was in South Africa before Roose
velt went there to hunt. He was in
Servla when the king and queen were
murdered in fuct, wherever anything
of worldwide '-jterest is happening
MacQueen seems to be lucky enough to
be there.
His lecture here will be especially
timely, as It will be on the subject
"Mexico and South America." He will
illustrate the lecture with 1T5 beautiful
views. He carries bis own special
machine, and an expert operator travels
with him. In dealing with Mexico he
will tell of the Btrnngeuess of a land
ylng at our very doors. The lecture
gives a complete description of Mexico
today and as It was four centuries ago.
FROM PRIZE RING TO PULPIT.
"All the world loves a lover." Then
all the world must admire a man whom
love leads to better things. We pre
sent the picture of one such, F. R.
Wedge, "the fighting parson of the
Barbary coast." Wedge Is to lecture
on the third day of the Chautauqua
here, and It is doubtful If any man on
the program has lived a more exciting,
strenuous life than has he.
Wedge was forced Into the street at
a very tender age to make his living
as a newsboy. Soon he found that he
must defend Ills rights with his fists,
mid thus he received his first training
in giving and taking hard blows. He
found that he had a natural aptitude
as a fighter, for he whipped all the
street arabs who jumied on to him.
As he grew older he decided to take up
fighting as a business. He found a
malinger and soon won a name for
himself In the prize ring. One victory
followed another until he became

Then Cnpld challenged him, and In
a short time "Kid" Wedge was a dif

on the smile of a charming young
lady who waa a college graduate and
the daughter of a wealthy phyetdaji.
She pointed him to the right path, and

tered college, graduated witn nign Hon
ors, became converted, entered the
ministry, married the girl and, well,
all well regulated stories end there,
don't they? But we'll tell a little
more. Wedge has been fighting as
hard for worthy things as he used to
In the ring. He did a lot of fine work
along "the Barbary coast," as Frisco's
red light district is celled, and came to
be known as "the fighting parson." He
appeals to boys and shows them the
right pathway In life. He knows, too.
MONUMENTS TO THE POTATO.
There Are Sevaral Handsoma Ones In
England and Germany.
' Although America is tbe original
home of tbe potato, it Is only In Eu
rope that monuments bave been erect
ed to honor tbe familiar vegetable.
Tbere are several such monuments In
Germany and England costing large
sums of money and presenting the
work of famous sculptors. Tbe most
elaborate Is that at Offenburg, which
honors Sir Francis Drake as the first
man to Introduce potatoes Into Europe.
The monument consists of an excel
lent statue of Drake, rising from an
elaborate base " decorated with gar
lands of the potato plant, with full
grown ' tubers. Several tablets are
placed about tbe base stating that
Drake first brought tbe potato to Eu
rope, with various laudatory Inscrip
tions as to the value of the potato to
civilization. A similar monument to
Drake and the potato has been erected
at Murz.
As a matter of historic fact, Drake
had nothing whatever to do with In
troducing the potato to Europe. It Is
generally supposed that Sir Walter Ra
leigh was the discoverer of the potato.
and stories are told of bis appearing
on the streets of London wearing a
buttonhole bouquet of potato blossoms
In order to attract attention to the new
vegetable.
According to one version, the potatoes
were first planted by Drake In Ireland.
Tbe fact is that tbe potato was first
taken from America by the Spanish
long before the exploration of either
Drake or Raleigh. Pittsburgh Dis
