Tho harvest season for tho talkers
has approached, and they are already
asseiibling for labor. The West is
the sCtion of country which is to
be talked to this year, also snlg t
and otlierwiso amusod. Mr. Beecher
is tho first lecturer, He begins i
Mtichigan, and goes as far vest as
California. Mr. Beecher can alroid
to lecture ; aniiyl)ody can that geti
from $500 to S1,000 a night for fees.
He cleared ,40,000 from his last
trip, besides imking a nice little
sum for his agents. However, Mr.
Beecher is what they call a "sensa
tion ;" ho only lectures occasional
Suasous, and is wise enough to lot a
sufficiwit nuimber of years elapse
betwen his appearan ces. Now Mr.
Gough has lectured thirty-liv!
years without missing it season, and
ho goes year after year to the samo
places, and peoplo never tire of him.
He has addressed the same audiences
moro times than any other lecturer
in the world, and always opens sev
eral of the leadiig courses. He has
from $100 to 1300 a night, but to
small places, where h thinks he can
do good, he will go for loss. Mr.
Gough has a nice little incomo, as
you may iagine, and lives c.rm
inlgly at West Boylston, a little town
just oUtside of WorcestOr. le IsI
no chih1rn, but lie has adopted four
niecCe- of MIs. 0IIImgi's, lively girls,
too, anid loooiks on them quito Ias his
own. He is a clat-miung host, and
as ve1sati 1 m1 bik'tit in the homo
circle ats lie is On the phtf 'ia.
'To ee all the I'ionS" of the pit
form uncged and at full liberty,
you have only to spend the day, or a
porluioit of it, at the rooms of tihe
Luetire Bureau :Any time duriiig

make you very velcome, will give

Al aomo corner of the business office,
whoro you shall see and hear and be
rarely entertained. Familiar faces
smile (own u)lpon you from the walis,
and their living prottypes startle
you by putting in ueCXpce ted ap
poa.ranicos. They are full of life and
vivacity and experience, and aro
fond of comparing notes and relat
ing adventures.
soME LADY LEcTURER'IS.
Mrs. Mary A. Livermore usually
p)uts ini an early appearnce, for she is
one of thme busiest and miost sought
after wvomen of the country. ~She
shares popularity with Gough, and
earns the sanme amount of money.
To seo her you never wvould iimagineo
that she was "to the foro" as a roe
former ; she is a motherly looking
woman, with a world of good nature
amid kindliness in her face, a cheery
mianner. anid the jolliest laugh I ever
heard. Somo day Tm gon to tamke
you to her p)retty home in Milromo'
and showv you how the most iniluen,
tial lectmi or on woman sufYrage and
that sort of thing looks sulrrounded
by her family. You wvont like her
any the less on the platorm. hoe
hats a wonderful powor of controll
ing audiences. I reamomber a few
years ago, wvhen tile q1uestiOnl of giv
ing the*sulflrage to women was boen
Ifore tile p)eople of Vermont, it wvas
dlecided to conduct a regular camn
pain in the State by Massachusetts
advocates of the cause. Mrs. Liver
more, Mis. Julia Ward Howe, Mr's.
Lucy Stone, William Lloyd Garri
son and others wvere among the
speakers who wore to hold conven
honis ill the leading towns of the
State. All went wvell enough until
thme party reached Burlington, inl
which town there was an open lies
tility to them. Dturing the first
evening's session when Mr. Garuri,
son appleared, he was greeted with a
stormi of hisses ; 1h0 held his oJwn
and finished his speech, but in the
midst of the greatest confusion.
Mr's. Livermore wais tihe next speak.
cr. She camo to tho front of the
platform and stood in the quietest
manner, with mioro reoal dignity in
app)loaranLcO than11 I ever saw before.
She did not open her lips, but she
stood there looking about- over the
vast audience until from very shame
and out of respect which they could(
not withhold, silence was fairly
compelled. There was no more dis
tiu'bance, and at the close of hoe
address the demonstrations of pleas
uire exceeded tile previous ones of
disapproval. Mind you, I don't
assor t that the audience woro con
verted to a belief in the suffrage,
but they certainly had a very differ
ontopinion both of thQ social and
intelloetualf status of the women
who advocated it.
nEL.N orTER.
Tat f tall, grly-eyc(l, graceftil
woman lin such carnest conversation
with Mrs. Livo1rmore is Helen Pot
tor, the reader and impersonator.
Her entertainment is quito unique,
and consists of reading and imper
sonations in costuimo of lecturers
arnd readers. Last year she pocketed
1 a8,000, after bor commissions nd111
ot.hor expeso wore palid. Shle began
ats teacher in Onida, Now York, and
worked her owNI way a1long though
overy diftivi'ltyV ilnali('ed, un11til she
reached hier )resellt position. One
of her best impeli'nations is of
Ania Dickinson, both as lecturer
and actress, and she has lately had
to encounter Miss Dickinson's op
position. At her appoirance in
Philadelphin last April she had ad
vertised to do the "letter" and
"quarrul" seues in "Crown of
Thorns," and just as sie was going
uipon the stago an inljiuetion was
served upon her to prevenLt the imi
tation. Shie was ready for the
Omergency, and had a lawyer thoro
in a few minu tes, found sho could
do it at no risk except that of a
lawsuit, so she (lid it, mu11Ci to- the
delight of lier audience, which nimin
bered niony of Miss Dickinson's
puls(inal friued. There 1has been
no suit brought against Miss Potter
as yet, and I don't bulieve there will
he. Some ill,natured person. told
Miss Dickinson that Miss Potter
burlesqued her and lier play, an
assvrtion witirely unfounded, for her
imitations are all entirely free
from anything of tho sort.
SURFEITED wITn TALKERS.
Dit--I wonder if it's a sign of the
degeneracy of tile times-locturing
isn't lialf such profitable business a1s
it was half a dozen years ago, and so
it alippoins that, with the exception
of the few really popular spenkers,
the majority of the talkers do not
find themselves in demand. The
public wan!6 now to be amused
rather than inistructed, and musicia
ando dronatieal combinations, read,
ers and impersonatiois aire taking
the place of tile lecturers in tile ly
eumillis, and you meet as many artists
ats you do talkers ill the rools which
havo lcretolcre been considered
"sa:ued to the Lycotm talkers."
MMIes AND VOCALISTS.
You will sco genial Sol. Smith
Russell, who is adding E istern fame
to his Western popularity. Jules
Lombard, who has the deepest bass
voice in the world, and 'ranks with
the hitherto incomparable Whitney.
By the way, it's very funny to hear
the two talking togetherl ; One won,
dIs if tho voices come from their
boots. I think Lombard goes a
little tile deepest for his. Why is it
that bassos are ahmost always so
11h better natured fellows than
tenoers ? Thely soom to take the
world ten timles as easy. There is
preCtty Laura Schimer, who, Adolaide
Phillhps says, has the linest soprano
voice iln tlio countriy, anid that added
to the most p)iquanlt face and win.
ning manner, makes her a most
fasoinating little body.
TWO MAINE GIRLs.
There is merry, mischievous Dora
Wiley, who sings "Annie Laurie" as
it never was sung before, I believe,
and11 whlo has a brighter' future be
fore lher, if sheO had a mind to accept
her oppo rtnities, thlan alny
other of our young singers. Miss
Wiley is a1 Maine girl, as yet in her
early twoenties, and ill fiho face of
many obstales sile 1has won a good
position inl the mnusic:d world.
Apropos of Maine and its musical
girls, there isi anotiler who is mlak
iag a ropnmtationl ab)road. I meanll
Miss ClaraI Nichols. Sheo is young,
yretty anid aLttractive, andl had1
already become quite a favorite her'o,
when Annio Cairry spirited her off
to Europe. Sile took hor to Mos
cow and St,. Fetersburg with her',
and finially loft lher ab Milan to study.
Sho has appeared there iln opera
most successfully-a real and not a
newspaper success, by theO way
and she wvill prob)ably return to
America for the next Cincinnati fos.,
hival, whiere she is to appear' with
lher friend, Miss (Cary. Tihe Lee
ture Buireau claims her1, for thoy
mlado all liar enIgagemnts beforo
she weont away, and1( will have hier
