the lecture by Shoreland F. Fenno

following four members :-
ALEXANDER ht. SKIBINSKY
A Russian violinist of remarkable
ability. He 18 (0 fact one of the very
best violinists it has been our good
fortune to secure for Chautauqua.
Mr. Skibineky uses his violin with
dashitig, careless confidence, .energy,
true intonation and marked facility.
The remarkable thing ahem 141311)10.
sky is that he had his left band shat-
tered in an accident eight years ago,
losing the greater portion of his index
finger and now fingers his violin as
well as ever with the 0333033301110151(5(3 in.

dex which he himself invented -a
wonderful example of determined
perseve)'a)lce.
HART WELL DBMILLE
the well known p9pular Canadian
baritone, who has just finished a
Summer's engagement with us with
remarkable acceptance, He pleases
immensely both by voice and manner.
Mr. DeMillie renders both classical
and popular selections, blending the
serious and the humorous in a way to
thoroughly captivate his auditors.
MISS BEISTHA. WELLS
Reader, Trombonist, Entertainer.
She has personal magnetism in a
"sleeked degree. Her repertoire is
varied, and her interpretations are
characterized by a manifest sincerity,
Her trombone work adds variety to
the program.
In the two Sisters Wells, there is
found the perfect ensemble that
rightly belongs to members of one
family, and this shows excellently in
their Trombone and Piano svoik,
while each as a Reader manifests that
naturalness and simplicity to be found
only in the good artist.
MISS MILDRED WELLS

14
Accompanist, Pianist, Reader. Her
character delineations are of rave
merit. As a Pianist 81)10 15 sympathe-
tic, and completely unites herself

support needed to secure the best re.
sults. Her character delineations re-
veal lier an artist with discrimination
in sketch and character that render
her work a delight.
SHORELAND F. FANNON

a heed hitter, with a vital message,
He will give his well known lecture

valent in the imagination of fault-

The Chaplain Writes Relating to
Death of Pte. W. Denman
Following letter was received by D.
Denman, Brussels, from a Chaplain,
concerning the death of one of our
town boys
DEAR 51B. DENHAN t-1 ant writing
to a.ssure you of the sincere sympathy
of our whole battalion with sem in the
death of your sou, Pte. W. Deuraan,
who wee killed in action Sept. 3rd,
during the battle in which the Oana-
diens broke through the Drucourt
Queant line and won back so many
miles of territory from German hands.
While he was advanciug with his
platoon against the village of Saude-
mont he was instantly killed by a
direct hit from a shell. Two days lat-
er his body was removed from the
battlefield and given Christian burial
in the British Military cemetery at
Duey crucifix, the exact location be-
ing Plot 1, Row A, Grave 82. His
persoual effects are being forwarded
to you through the regular channels,
but please do not look for them much
before the New Year. Your son join-
ed the battalion only a few weeks ago,
while I was away wounded and I did
001 118.70 the opportunity of getting
to know him, but all the men with
whom he was associated in "B" Com-
pany speak in the highest terms of
him aud of his conduct during the
fight up to the time Ile was killed.
May the knowledge of 1118 self-sacri lice,
following in the footsteps of our Lord
and Almighty God's consolation be
your comfort at this time. No life
laid down as was your son's is in vain
nor will he surely fail of reward at the
hands of a merciful and just Creator.
In sincere sympathy I remain faith -
folly yours,
A. H. ParEsT, Chaplain.
