will open it on Monday, April 23, at the Baptist church, at 10 o'clock a. m.,

ginia Smith, of Indianapolis, who will introduce new features and make it
interesting and beneficial to our children. This department will open on
March 26, at the Auditorium. $1.00 for the course, Including season
tickets.
MEDAL CONTESTS.
To the liberality of Col. J. W. Walters, Chautauqua is indebted for the
inauguration of what is one of its most hopeful features—the Medal Con
tests. The advantage of this contest, in exciting the Interest of children
and those accomplishments that make for higher culture, Induced another
friend of the Assembly to offer three medals more, and now the girls and
boys of South Georgia have the privilege of competitive trials of skill in
oratory and music.
TEACHERS’ INSTITUTE.
The Chautauqua management alms through this department to place
within easy reach of the teachers of this section Instruction In pedagogy
and methods of teaching that equals that to be found in the best normal
training schools in this country. Hon. W. B. Merritt, State School Com
missioner, and Prof. Lawton B. Evans will be the principal conductors, which
is a guarantee that it will be up to date In all respects. The homes of the
city will be open at very moderate rates for entertainment of the teachers
in attendance.
MUSICAL DEPARTMENT.
Music has been one of the most strikingly pleasing of all the features
of Chautauqua’s enjoyable assemblies, and the aim of the management 1b
to mahe that of tjie eighteenth assembly brighter and better than any of its
predecessors, If possible. With this end in view, Dr. Alfred Hallam, the
musical director of the New York Chautauqua, has been secured, and'we
bespeak for him the active co-operation of every musician In the city. It Is
our purpose to have the largest chorus' that ever graced the Chautauqua
platform. Miss Christine L. Giles, an accomplished soloist, will delight
Chautauqua audiences throughout the week.
The Assembly Orchestra will discourse sweet music at every exercise.
C. L. S. C.
This department, which embraces in Its scope the outline of the Chau-

Editor Herald, Albany, Go.
Dear Sir: Last year just before the
Chautauqua, 1 wrote a little paragraph
to be inserted in our local paper here,
the exact language of which I <lo not
now remember. Any way, I suggested
that the managers of tlio Albany
Chautauqua so arrange as to have the
Albany barrooms'closed one day—the
big day—that we might let our women
and children go and not be uneasy
about their return trip. There is a
crowd of folks that fo over therb and
fill, up and become a menace to all the
passengers on the trains.
Our local Methodist preacher told
me (he was then editing the local
paper) that you were very much dis
pleased with ray paragraph, and, from
the letter you wrote him, you seemed
to think it was unfriendly to the Chau
tauqua. When lie told me, I intended
to write you a letter about It; but did
not, and the matter was passed off
and forgotten.
Now the Chautauqua approaches
again. We who have children who
want to go to the Chautauqua are re
minded that several white men were
shot on the way home from the Chau
tauqua last year by drunken men.
Every boy in this country wants to go
to the Chautauqua and most of the
girls and a few men and \yomen.
My special interest In it is that I
have three boys that I have been let
ting go several years. When I was
well, I always went with them to try
to take care of .them, but now that I
am an invalid ahd unable to stand the
jam, I am unable to go.
I realize how you all are situated
about this business. I presume that
you have, to depend largely upon con
tributions from the barroom men for
funds to run tfie Chautauqua, and that
they would bo very much put out if*
you were to close them up a day when
there was a crowd in town.
The conllict arises between the peo
ple on the outside and, the people on
the inside of Albany. Which would
be to your interest financially? I don’t
know whether it would be to close the
barrooms one day and let the people
in the country know it, or to leavo
them open to please the barkeepers.
I have no doubt If It was generally
known that the barrooms would be
closed one day that there would be
hundreds of people who don’t go, whe
would go.
We send our children forth with ap
prehension and fear, knowing that, in
all human probability, on the way back
home, the cars will be full of drunken
men with pistols, and the inoffensive
fellow is'as liable to be killed as any
body else.
I presume it is too late to mention
this now, and It may be always too
late. But I, in common with many
parents in this country, do wish that
you would give us one day of safety
for our women and children to go to
the Chautauqua.
This letter is not the result of any
unkind feeling towards the Chautau-
qua. There never has been a time (ex
cept that year) that I did not spend
my money to send my children to it.
Last year I was an invalid and did
not want to risk them off alone.
I have got three boys that want to
go this time, and I am not able to go
with them, and I have got to let them
goi I can only say, “God protect them
until they get back home.”
Do you remember how many men
were shot on their way home last year
from the Chautauqua by drunken
men? / .
Yours truly,
H. C. SHEFFIELD.

Two Specials
A steel hypodermic needle Is never
inserted without leaving a permanent
blue specie in the skin of the patient
probably because of the, perhaps, very
small quantity of impurity—rust or
otherwise—which it contains: The
gold needle invariably leaves ,110 mark
whatever, says Leslie’s Weekly. , Ap
preciating these facts, efforts, in which
surgeons particularly have been inter
ested, have been made for years to
contrive a process for hardening gold
so that it could be used for the blades
of the instruments of surgery of all
kinds. This is just what Dr. Vaughn,
has accomplished after eighteen years
of experimenting and research. His
method consists of the employment of
heat and chemicals; but the tempering
process does not make an alloy of the
precious metal. Pure gold tempered
by this process remains pure; but the
surgical instruments which Dr. Vauhn
is now manufacturing, and which are
beginning to be used extensively in
hospitals and by practicing physicians
and surgeons, are of 14 karats fine
ness, these being as efficient, but not
as costly, as instruments of the purest
grade of the metal. Aside from its use
in surgery, which is the feature of this
new invention, which appeals first, the
perfection of Dr. Vaughn’s process is
of world-wide importance in many
