NAME THE WINNER.
Here is the List of Orators—The Contest Will be Close.
Last Friday evening the faculty committee that had been chosen to select the six orations that should be delivered in the oratorical contest made its report. The one of these winning the contest that occurs in about two weeks, will represent the University in the state contest that occurs in Topeka on the 12th of February.
The chosen six with the titles of their orations are W. W. Brown, "War an Obsolescent Factor in Progress; W. H. Riddle, "Voice of the Middle Ages;" F. Lutz, "The Individuals Ideas of Life and Its Social Influences;" J. M. Challis, Shylock and Justice;" E. F. Robinson, "A Story of Conquest." R. D. Brown-The Spirit of Dissent a Factor in Progress."
Every man in the above list is a strong one and the contest will be the closest and most exciting ever held by the students. Mr. W. W. Brown is a senior and a member of the Sigma Chi fraternity. He has always been known to have a style peculiarly his own and will give his friends reason for their belief in his oratorical abilities. Mr. W.H. Riddle is a junior and also a Sigma Chi. He has never made any pretense of great things n this line, but will be sure to do well, as he words hard at everything he undertakes. Mr. Ernest Robinson is a son of Prof. Robinson, a junior and a Phil Psi. This is also his first attempt but he has a very pleasing delivery and will surprise those who do not know him. Mr. J. M. Challis is a general favorite among a large portion of the students. He has such a telling way of putting things that hisoration is almost sure to please. He has a very powerful voice and a magnificent physique, and will rustle hard for a good place. Mr. Frank Lutz is a dark horse. No one knows what he can do, but hints are going round that he has a surprise in store for somebody. Mr. R. D. Brown speaks the same oration that won so much favorable comment last year, and the large amount of hard work he has expended since then will tell when the time comes.
The judges selected are as follows: Thought and composition, Messrs Emery, Nevison and Russel, on delivery, Messrs Learnard, Howland and Quayle.
Notice.
The Lawrence Weekly Record in order to extend its circulation among the students and patrons of the University will hereafter devote a portion of its space each week to University rews. A faithful record will be kept of all minor occurrences on the hill while the oratorical contests, local, state and interstate, the base ball games, the tour of the Glee club, etc., will be written up at length. Special rates to students. Orders may be left at the Record office or with Mr. W. P. Harrington at the University.
Seminary Today!
The Historical Seminary will meet this afternoon at four o'clock. Civil Service Reform is the subject to be considered Mr. Truitt will read a paper on the Development of the Spoils System. Mr. Fullerton one on the "Adoption and Operation of the Pendleton Act, and Mr. Cann's paper will be on the Advantages of the Merit System. It will be a very interesting and profitable meeting.
Another new student, Mr. Swansea,of Kansas City, Kan., entered the senior law class this week.
The Baker Contest.
Baker heid her local oratorical contest last Friday evening with four contestants for the honor.
The four speakers and their subjects were as follows: T. C. Lockwood, The Race Problem of the South; Mert Rice, The Stability of Our Nation; Bert Scott, Progress and Triumphs of the Laboring Man; Percy Willetts, The Dominant Epochs in Progress. The judges gave Mr. Willetts first place. The contest was a strong one and its winner, Mr. Willetts, will give the other contestants 'n the state contest something to do.
A Scheme's Afoot.
Yesterday at 1 o'clock the stock holders of the Oratorical association met in the chapel. The meeting had been called by circulating one of those ever present petitions and the majority of those present were totally in the dark as to the purpose of the aforesaid meeting. President O'Leary with his usual presence of mind immediately called the meeting to order but omitted to state for what purpose they had assembled. After some discussions as to what on earth they were there for, it was moved by R. D. Brown that a committee be sent after Prof. Templin to see if he could reveal the psychological phenomena. The professor was not to be found and after some more scattering discussions it was moved that a committee of ten be appointed to confer with the faculty and ascertain if possible for what reason the meeting had been called. The committee upon finding out the aforesaid strays or stolen object of the meeting, were ordered to issue another call and lay the matter again before the O. A.
The Cardinal Dead.
LONDON, Jan. 14.—Cardinal Manning died at 8:20 o'clock this morning.
His Eminence Henry Edward, Cardinal, priest of the Roman church and Archbishop of Westminister, son of the late William Manning, E.q., M. P., merchant of London, was born at Calteridge, Herfforshire, July 15, 1808, was educated at Borrow and Balli college, Oxford, where he graduated B. A. in first class honors in 1830 and became a fellow of Merton college. He was for some time one of the select preachers in the university of Oxford, was appointed rector of Lovington and Groffhaus, Sussex in 1834 and Archdeacon of Chichister in 1840. These preferments he resigned in 1851 on joining the Roman Catholic church, in which he entered the priesthood and in 1857 founded the ecclesiastical congregation at Bayswater, entitled Oblates of St. Charles Borremo. The degree of D. D. was conferred upon him at Rome.
After the death of his Eminence Cardinal Wiseman, Mensignor Manning was consecrated archbishop of Westminster June 8, 1865. Pope Pius IX created him cardinal priest March 15, 1875. The same pontiff invested him with a Cardinal hat in the consistory held at the Vatican Dec. 31, 1877. He was the author of a large number of religious books besides numerous sermons and pamphlets. Cardinal Manning was well known, not only for his work as a Roman Catholic prelate and divine but also for his exertions in the cause of temperance and social reform. He has taken a leading part in the settlement of labor disputes with which London has been troubled for several years past. The celebration of the Cardinals Episcopal jubilee took place on Sunday June 8, 1890.

Tongue Twisters.
The following is a collection for our orators and the elocution class next term:
"Of all the saws I ever saw, I never saw a saw saw as this saws."
"Up the high hill he heaves a huge round stone."
"Amidst the mist and coldest frost,
With bare wrists and stout stouste buns,
He thruches his fists against the post,
And still insists he sees the ghosts."
"Theophilus Thistle, the successful thistle sifter, in sifting a sieveful of thistles, thrust three thousand thistles through the thick of his thumb."
"Peter Prangle, the prickly pear picker, picked three pecks of prickly prangly pears from the prangly pear trees of the pleasant prairies."
*Crazy Craycroft caught a crate of crickled crabs,*
"Villey Vite and viefe vent a voyage to Vest Vindser and Vest Vickiam von Vitson Vednesday."
A crate of crickled crabs crazy Cravercroft caught;
If crazy Graycroft caught a crate of crickel crabs,
Where's the crate of crickled crabs crazy
Graycroft, caught?"
"Thou wreathd'st and muzzled'st the far-fetched ox, and imprisoned'st him in the volcanic Mexican mountain of Pop-o-cat-apet-l a Con-i pax-i."
Moot Senate.
All the students on the hill seem to be heartily in favor of a moot senate and in all probability one will be organized immediately after examinations are over. The plan if carried out as proposed is most assuredly a good one and will give a better idea of senatorial proceedings to all who take part in it besides giving all our would be orators a chance to develop into full fledged Peffers. Prof. E. D. Adams has consented to act as presiding officer and Prof. Blackmar will help in giving aid to the future statesmen in drafting bills and in inaugurating reforms that will show the U. S. senate how such things should be done.
It seems the proper thing for all Kansas towns to have a Keeley institute, but nobody has said anything about one here.
