Pay your subscription. Now that share No. 8 has been declared to belong to Mr. Brewster, the legality of the last election can not be questioned. This determines without a doubt that Mr. Horton was the legal delegate at Emporia, and was only defrauded of his seat by treachery. Political Science. Political science club met Friday evening. The attendance was not so large as usual owing to the scandal trial in the law department. Miss Godell read a paper on proceedings in the state legislature. Mr. Reed reported on proceedings in the U. S. senate—nothing doing. Mr. Caywood reported the House proceedings. Miss. McKinnon read a very interesting paper on finance and industry. Mr. E. E. Squire read a paper on "The Greater Half of the Continent," which he decided to be Canada. Canada is a better climate than people here are accustomed to believe it to be. There is a wonderful abundance minerals and undeveloped resources which will yet make Canada one of the leading countries of the globe. As to the annexation fever, it seemed to be mostly in the dreams of American partisans and very little in Canadian hearts. Miss Florence Reasoner read a paper on the "Influences of Factory Life on Girls." She reasoned well, and concluded that the only elevation in factory life for girls was in marrying out of it. Mr. Mushrush reported on "Misrepresentation in Congress." He characterized Mr. Bryce's article on that subject as the "grumblings of a crank," and said that the only source of misrepresentation from which we have anything to fear is the control of politics by rings of corrupt demagogues, who, by manipulating ignorant votes, control elections in defence of the wishes of the intelligent classes. Meeting then adjourned. The class in Freshman chemistry enjoyed a visit to the gas works last night and were restrained from mischief by the watchful eye of Prof. Bailey. Science Club. The postponed meeting of the Science club was held last Friday evening in Snow Hall. Professor Miller explained the methods used in indeterminate analysis. He said that the most eminent living analyst lived in Clinton, this state. Some illustrative problems enabled the hearers to gain some idea of the intricacy of this subject. The professor worked out several examples on the board, among which was one that had been sent him from Pennsylvania for solution. Ned Slosson read an interesting paper on alluminum alloys. He described the various complicated processes of obtaining this metal. The oxide of aluminum is the most abundant of the earths, and occurs in clay and granite. Aluminum resembles silver in color, is very malleable and ductile, approaches iron in tenacity, while it is one-third lighter than iron and does not rust. The subject was illustrated by samples of the pure metal and alloys with other metals. Prof. Bailey reviewed the scientific happenings of the week. After transacting some business the club adjourned. A jolly crowd of young folks enjoyed the pleasure of a sleigh ride last Monday night. After spending several hours in this delightful manner, they were ushered into Phi Gam hall where the ladies with their usual wisdom and foresight, had spread an elegant luncheon, to which all did ample justice. The remainder of the evening was spent in conversation and dancing. Those present were Misses Tisdale, Harrison, Wébster, Lyons, Roberts, Webber, Southard, A class of beginners will commence Feb.18.

Madam Janauschek is the greatest living tragic actress. She will present "Meg Merrilies" at the opera house Mounday night. The Chicago Telegram says: "Last evening a large number of admirers of profound and subtle art acting assembled at the Columbia to witness the world-renowned tragedian Janauschek in a grand production of the musical and romantic play, a dramatization of Sir Walter Scott's novel of Guy Mannering, entitled "Meg Merrilies." The character of Meg Merrilies is one calling for an artist thoroughly schooled and educated in the most difficult lines of prossional labor and gifted with the genius peculiarly adapted to the interpretation of complex characters. Being thus qualified in the higher ranks of dramatic art Madam Janauschek is eminently fitted to wear the mantle of the late Charlott Cushman. She has a voice that thrills and electrifies, and by its pleading tones of anguish she wins from the strongest heart emotion and sympathy. She holds her audience spellbound by more than wonderful magnatism and power of eloquence. She has a power and emotional force greater than Ristori, a nervous and fiery intention equal to Rachael, and a skill for elaboration and finish only equaled by Barnhardt."
