A Charity Circus.
While in Kansas City the editor was seen in regard to a charity circus by Lloyd Brown, a young man of no small ability as director and a large experience of stage manager.
A similar circus in Dayton, Ohio, for charity, is reported to have made $13,000 out of the venture. Of course this would be for the Athletic association. It was suggested that Prof. Dyche's animals could be used in cages for the parade and menagerie, Mr. Tisdale's old stakes could be used for a "Wild West." Abe Levy has volunteered his talent for clown and Mime. Sam Usher might be persuaded to do the great bare back riding act.
All supplies are donated, such as lemons, sugar, peanuts, lumber for seats, etc., and the society leaders of local repute will appear in Bowery dress as bawkers of circus lemonade and peanuts, and "spealers" for the side show.
Base Ball.
Why not take a brace in base ball the coming year? Why wouldn't the organization of a base ball association of the western universities be a good thing?
The following is the copy of an article from Harper's Weekly:
"Iowa, Kansas, Missouri and Nebraska, which comprise the western foot ball association, had their second contest in base ball this year, although they had played foot ball for three years. A game was decided as Kansas City between Kansas and Missouri, the former winning an easy victory, 17-4. which, so far as form is concerned, was far below the standard of the two universities, as may be judged from the fact that the Missouri pitcher gave Kansas 19 bases on balls.
This year the universities had nines, but the games were unimportant and of the scratch order. Base ball in the Missouri valley has not attained nearly the position of foot ball either in or out of the universities.
The only other base ball contest between the two universities of this section took place in the spring of '91, between Kansas and Nebraska at Lawrence and the game was one of the most interesting that had ever been played in the western country, Kansas tieing the score and winning in the last half of the ninth inning. 5-4.
Miss Howland's Death.
The older students of the University were greatly shocked to learn of the death of Miss Marcella Howland, which occurred last Sunday morning at 5 o'clock at her home in this city.
Miss Howland graduated from Kansas University with the class of '90 and the following year pursued post graduate work at Bryn Mawr. She was a member of the Kappa Alpha Theta fraternity and her death has cast a great shadow over her Theta sisters. It is seldom we meet a young lady who was so universally beloved by all. Her pleasant genial wins won the friendship and admiration of all who knew her, and the bright, always cheerful face will be greatly missed by a wide circle of friends who sympathize deeply with her stricken parents and sister.
K. S. U. Boys in Kansas City.
The funeral services were held Tuesday afternoon.
Kansas City and the University of Kansas are intimately connected both in a business and an educational way. Kansas City furnishes a large number of students for the University and the University furnishes a larger number of business and professional men for Kansas City. A large number of University students upon graduation enter business and professional life in Kansas City and constitute some of her moft substantial and prosperous firms. Among the young men are Preston King, a member of the firm of Dennis Hat Co., 1066 Main. Mr King belonged to the class of 9t law and is a member of Sigma Chi fraternity. This house owns some of the finest furnishing houses in the city and all the K. U. boys will find a warm greeting at Preston King's. Mr. King was lately married to Miss Montgomery, of St. Joe. At Twelve and Broadway are Voetrel and Norber with Hugo Eysell and near the Coates House is Hi Adams. These young men are able and skillful druggists and holding good positions.
The lawyers from Kansas University are numerous and are doing well. In the New York York Life building is John Sullivan, the great democratic politician and backer of Congressman Tarsney. The latest addition is the new offices of Hadley and Brown and Paul Merril. All these boys have run University papers and know how to hustle and notwithstanding these hard times are doing lots of business. Among the K. U. boys who have been in Kansas City longer and built up a good business are Gilmore and Crane and Keed & Reed, of Kansas City, Kansas.
