HOPKINS. Dr. Frederick BE. Hopkins, who is to appear on this season’s Lyceum Course, ifs a brilliant, magnetic and charming speaker, an entertainer and an educa- tor. He has a command of the Eng- lish language that is particularly inter esting to those who sit beneath his spell. 5 : During the last seven or eight’ years of Lyceum work Dr. Hopkins has ap- peared on more than 500 courses, and in every case the audiences have been enthusiastic over hig work. He brings ta the platform a much needed mes. . sage, and it may be safely said that { no man in years has made a more em- FREDERICK E. HOPKINS. phatic success with Lyeeum audiences. Certainly no one is better equipped for such work. Recently the Chicago Examiner com- mented as follows: “The Rev. Fred- erick BE. Hopkins has stirred up the biggest agitation Chicago has known for a generation. Strong, virile, ear- pest, he is the man that has started something.” The New York Sun says tbat Dr. Hopkins is perhaps the most notable living example of the moderii and im- proved sort of gospel carrier. The Sun adds. “When Parson Hopkins preaches the ciurch is always ‘jui- med to capacity,’ and no wonder at all.” Rhode Island and Textiles. The first cotton mill in the United States was builtin Pawtucket in Wash- ington’s first administration. The mak- ing of textiles has become Rhode Is- land’s first industry. Some 60,000 per- sons work in it, and its output is about 50 per cent of the manufactured prod- ucts of the state, which, little as it is. is fourth in the making of cotton goods and third in the making of woolens and worsteds.
