PROF. CLARK'S READING. Most Favorable Criticism Evoked By His Dramatic Ability. Grand Rapids (Mich.) Herald. Professor S. H. Clark of the Uni versity of Chicago gave a reading of Stephen Phillips' "Ulysses," before an audience composed almost entirely of teachers in the public schools of this city; also members of the board and others interested in educational matters. Professor Clark is a dramatic read er of great intellectual force, keen, interpretive insight, strong power, and withal, is gifted with that sub tle element called, for lack of a bet ter term, magnetism. Professor Clark's voice is also of a rich, well modulated quality, which expressed the various shades of emotion and de grees of passion with equal ease and effectiveness. Mr. Clark is notably free from af fectation of mannerisms, and he is at all times simple, direct, and nat ural. Stephen Phillips' "Ulysses" is strongly dramatic, yet Mr. Clark's rendering was never overacted. He was at no time inclined to "tear a passion to tatters," but the dramatic climaxes were strong and forceful. The literary quality also was re vealed with a most appreciative clear ness. He -gave it all a vitalizing touch. He made it appeal to the im agination with a vividness which was, in a way, creative. GENIUS GONE ASTRAY. Comments Evoked by the Pronounce ment of a Chicago Professor. From the Chicago Inter Ocean. Prof. Cumnock, of Northwestern, is one of the great living elocution ists. This fact is recognized not only all along our beautiful north shore, but along our beautiful south shore. as far south as the Midway. His masterly comand of a musical voice, his inimitable gesture, his su perb powers of imitation, his thor ough grasp of the outward manifesta tions of all the humr , emotions known in Evanston, are qualities that make him a favorite in the education al and social life of the center of sub urban culture. Prof. Cumnock. moreover, is an elocutionist of the advanced school. The time was, perhaps, when he read such pieces as "Curfew Shall Not Ring Tonight," "Bingen on the! Rhine," "The Village Blacksmith," and "Casey at the Bat," but he keeps abreast the times, and is happiest when rendering something modern, or when giving an imitation of Foun tain Square in the midst of the Sun day season. When in humor the professor gath ers around him a select group of di vinity students and girls from the fem. sem., draws upon his wonderful store of elocution and ventriloquism and reproduces with startling realis tic effects all the sounds that are heard in the popular resorts of Davis street of a summer evening. nemay hear distinctly on such onccasion the gurgle in the drug e cellar, the giggle of the golt gr,and the merry laughter of the co-ed, as she orders pineapple mash or nigger squirt. And aron, comes the husky voice of the Evanston po litician as he calls for a dash of sar saparilla. The popping of apollinaris corks, the sizzing of the seltzer, the ringing of the cash register gong, the waying of the crowd as the apothecary opens a fresh keg of root beer, the excited Evanston alderman who insists upon a little peppermint to put an edge on his wild cherry bark; the commotion -of the joyous, careless, heedless throng as it surges in and out of the establishment during the hours that Evanston socie V is in its most friv olous mnood-al rhese things one can hear, and many of them in fancy one can see, as Prof. Cutmnock plays upon the imaginati.Cl Now,. if the p)rofessor WCr.( only1 that he can axcel in a tk!d that i at his either by inheritance or right of p)re-emption. He is pursuing the unattainahle when he aims to be known as a connoisseur of woman's eyes. He tells the fifty girls in his elocu tion class that black eyes are the most popular with men, thereby making forty-five girls in his class whose eyes are nqt black angry enough to mob him. The professor fails to un derstand that when a man praises woman's eyes he should praise the eyes of only one woman at a time, and then only the eyes of the woman he happens to be talking to. There are all sorts of eyes in Evanston. and, of course, a fair rep resentation of all sorts in Prof. Cumnock's class. Beside the coal black eye. which is in the minority, there is the soft brown eye, the cold gray eye, the eye that reflects the azure of the sky, the eye that has in its limpid depths the blue tints of Lake Michigan, the whitish, watery eye, the pink eye, the roguish eye, the penetrating eye, and the eye that looks out for number one. It would be a sad thing if an ill considered remark should lead to a coldness between Prof. Cumnock and those with whom he has ever been so justly popular. It is still possible for him to make a retraction. But if he persists in declaring that the black eye is the only eye that melts the heart, the eyes of all other beautiful hues on the north shore will refuse to fill with mosture the next time he renders "The Death of Little Nell, by the late Charles Dickens. The Lousiana Purchase Today. When the Lousiana Purchase. the one hundredth anniversary of which the St. Louis fair commemorates, was made, there were people who believ ed that fifteen million dollars was too much to pay for a patch of wil derness west of the Mississippi. To day the income of one year from ag riculture alone in this vast tract would repay this purchase-price much more than a hundred times over. Even now this emp're has vast re sources untouched. Only a snal' portion of the land is under cultiva tion. and the mineral resources are just coming to light. Scarcely a decade has passed since Cripple Creek wvas discovered. and it is now pouring forth millions of wealth annually. Within the past few months there have been oil deposits unbottled in south-eastern Kansas which bid fair to rival the great oil fields of Penn sylvania. while the same locality has enough natural gas to light the na tion. The income from its farnva and ranches last year was $1,876. 184.431. The manufactures of this region last year amounted to $i,oo6, 332,6I1, enough to buy the province of Lousiana sixty-sevent times over The mines of Colorado and Montana and the other states with mineral wealth last year turned out products to the value of $239,909,128. The total product of the four states of Missouri, Kansas. Iowa. and Minnesota amountedi to more than two billion dollars last year. divided as follows: Missouri .. .......$761,087,530 Kansas .. .......462,576,810 Iowa .... ........447,995.560 Minnesota ...... ....389,188,930 Total. .. .. ....$2,06o,848,830 The prairies of Kansas and the fields of Minnesota are today, the world's greatest granaries, the former of winter wheat, the latter of spring wheat. These two states furnish one-fourth of the bread produced in the entire country. From the farms of Missouri, Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska, Minnesota and the Dakotas come mil lions of cattle and swine, and from the f'anches of Montana and Wyo ming countless numbers of sheep. No other like territory on the face of the globe produces such an abun dance of food products. A Loss To Winthrop. Winthrop College. Rock Hill, Oc tober 26.-WVinthrop college has sus tained a great loss in the death of Miss Anna Teresa Lichtenwanger of Knoxville. who died of heart failure on Sunday. October 23. atter a painful illness of awo weeks.

She was en tering upon her fourth year at WVin throp, where she held the chair of) T.atin and where she had the admi ration and respect of her fellow teachers and the students. Her char acter and influence stood for culture and right thinking and dutiful living -praise which does not come through "that full voice that circles round the grave," but which was the united testimony of her co-workers while she lived and wrought among them for the things that are worth living.
