Local. Ed Wheeler has had the entire supervision and management of this issue of the Courier. Athletic Notes Our exchange editor is one of the most enthusiastic of base ballists. The Phi Gams have a lightning tennis team, Deford and Jackson. Dr. Lippincott and wife will entertain the Seniors this evening. Jep, our genial captain says, "the Prof. does not pitch a swift ball but he fools 'em every time." The gentlemen of the Beta Theta Pi fraternity entertain their lady friends next Friday evening. Miles and Delo have accepted Postlethwaite and Swope's challenge. They will row for the championship of the University one week from tomorrow afternoon. The game Tuesday between the University and Lawrence nine was one of the most exciting of the season. The following is the score: University...Runs. Lawrence. Runs.

Casstone struck out nine men, and Smith four men. Berry made one home run. The principal feature of the University nine's playing was their errors. Albert Gregg, the second baseman for the town nine was so unfortunate to break his leg above the ankle. BRAINS VS. WIND. The faculty and the Seniors crossed bats Wednesday. As it was rumored in the halls that Prof. J. H. Canfield was to play short stop, a large and enthusiastic audience gathered to witness the game. The following is the score: Total...24 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 Sterling .0 1 0 1 1 1 1 0 Canfield .1 1 1 1 1 0 1 Michols .1 0 1 1 1 1 1 Marin .0 0 0 0 1 0 0 Marvin .0 0 0 0 1 0 0 Aldrich .1 1 1-0 0 Snow .0 0 1.0 0 Carruth .0 0 0 0 0 0 Franklin .0 1 0 1 0 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 Davis ... 0 1 ... 1 1-1 0 Lippincott ... 1 0 ... 0 0-1 0 Jenks ... 0 ... 1 1 1-1 0 Hurrington ... 1 ... 1 1-1 0 Markley ... 0 ... 1 0 1 0 McAlpine ... 1 1 1 1 0 Crane ... 0 0 0 0 0 Smith ... 0 ... 2-0 0 Blair ... 0 0 ... 1-1 0 Sterling, Canfield, Marsh, Marvin and Snow did fine work, considering that they had not been in the diamond for many years. They excelled the Seniors by far and with a week's practice could "do up" the University. Davis, Jenks, McAlpine, Lippin- cott, and Harrington played a good game and tried to get even with the Profs. for four years pounding. Yesterday afternoon the Phi Delta Thetas and Sigma Nus met on the diamond, the letter Phi maintaining its record by a score of 18 to 10. The game was quite even until the sixtn innings, when the Phis crossed the home plate ten times. In the absence of the mask in the first inning Jep Davis received a bad eye. The Washburn nine will come down to-morrow and will play our nine at the park in the afternoon. We hope that no student of the University will be so penurious as to remain away on account of the trifling admittance fee charged. Everyone should consider it his moral duty to come out and encourage our players by applause and also to bring along his lady friend. Rhea and company opened the opera house Monday night, and as there were about 200 students in the audience, a few words concerning the performance would not be out of place. The play was according to the French "idee" and was of course eminently silly. The requisites for a modern French or English play; stern father, aristocratic mother, noble son with dark bay moustache, dutiful heroine in $4 tow wig who loved her but can't marry him, no particular reason assigned, one hour of agony interspersed with jokes, etc—all these were present, and a few walking people to distract the hearers' attention from the poverty of action in the play. The play was written more to suit the costumes than anything else. Rhea's costumes, our lady friends tell us, were elegant, but her acting was very common. She had a stereotyped smile, a charming French accent and an excellent management of a three-foot train. She got worked up once or twice and took a promenade up to the foot lights, making a wild grab for the fringe hanging on the lower corner of the right hand box and said something in upper C which nobody understood. The play contained too many Noble "Jukes" and "Me Lords" for an American audience. However, it was Rhea and the best people said it was good and so everybody was satisfied. The faculty have given Monday of Commencement week to the Senior class of the Pharmacy Department. The following program has been arranged: Address of Welcome, Will Dick, Historian, Sam Lindsay. Prof. Wallace will lecture at the University on May 6th. Review of Theses, Frank Prentiss. Some prominent pharmacist will address the class. The First Regiment Band has been engaged for the occasion; and the boys, since the faculty have at last granted them a day, will undoubtedly make it a success. Address to class, Prof. Sayre. No.33 We have a good lot of "views" this week from the students to which we commend the attention of the students and Profs. We are always glad to publish the views of any student upon any subject, if the subject is deserving of notice and handled decently. Review of Theses, Frank Prentiss. The Dixon Club which has been holding meetings in the court house Friday evenings, has adjourned until next fall. The society has entrusted the care of its books to Mr.H.C-Riggs and will meet again at the old rooms on the second Friday after the fall term begins. The Seniors have completed their examinations, and are wandering to their homes to prepare their addresses and theses. Would that we could give them some word of advice as they enter this cold, dreary and lonesome world. But alas, this is no place for the valedictory. The Seniors held a meeting Monday and appointed the following representatives for class day: President of the Day, Luella Moore; salutatorian, Edward G. Blair; hat speech, Jepha D. Davis; address to undergraduates, Chas. L. Smith; prophecy, Olive Thompson; valedictorian, Denton Dunn; orations, Messrs. Nickle Markley and H. D. Smith. What the Courier Would Like to Know. What you think of "D—— it all." Why K. S. U. cannot be run on the plan of a German University. Why a tardy mark counts a zero with some of our professors. Why our "devil" does not fall into another scrape. Why our majestic manager crowds out the fraternity games and if he hath an eye for the almighty dollar in so doing. Why we do not have a tennis tournament and why "our girls" do not learn to play that pleasant game. If the Washburnites still feel as confident of success and if "he who laughs best is not he who laughs last." Why our crack tennis players do not arrange a series of games with the Washburn team. Who will be the next editor-in-chief of the Review. Who will be the next to pay his or her subscription to the "Lever." Mlle Rhea visited the University last Monday and was shown over Snow Hall and the main building. She was more than pleased with Snow Hall and enjoyed her visit to the main building very much. While examining the philosophy apparatus, upon Franklin attempting to sing "Pansy Blossom" in French she murmured something about "asylum" and hastily left for the hotel. --- The students will have the pleasure of listening to a lecture by Prof. Wallace, the eminent English naturalist, May 6. The duel which was to occur at the "munnery" last week has been indefinitely postponed on account of one of the participants failing to appear at the appointed time. The Hon. Henry Grady, of the Atlantic "Constitution" has been invited by the Regents to deliver an address here Commencement week. Mr. Grady stands foremost among our most noted writers and orators and his famous address on the "New South" is familiar to all. Still improvement continues. An elegant drive, paved, etc., is being made from the main avenue around Snow Hall. Shade trees are to be planted on each side of the avenue and it will present an elegant appearance. The University can now boast of the finest collection of concreations of the Dakota groupe to be found in the world. Judge West has worked hard in that department of Natural History and has at last obtained a collection we should feel proud of. James Mears after donning his war paints and loading his shot gun with salt and pepper for some wayward students whom he supposed to be making raids on his flower garden on the campus, stood watch one night and it being quite dark, on hearing a slight noise in that direction, took aim and fired, and instead of making some boy feel uncomfortable for a short time, he killed a rabbit who in sullen silence was enjoying the sweet juice of the tulips. Mr. Mears wishes to apologize for his forcible language used toward some of our students and will hereafter wreak his vengeance on the rabbits. The Juniors have completed Edwards on bills and notes and are now taking story on sales. LAW. Judge Horton delivered a very interesting lecture before the two classes, on Wednesday morning. His subject was the "Right of Eminem Domain" and was well received and greatly appreciated by the class. M. L. Nelson has returned to his home in Independence, Kansas, an account of sickness. He will return in a few days. The Senior class of the Law Department held a meeting Thursday night to elect their representatives for Friday evening of Commencement week. The following program was elected; President of the Day, J. W. Jackson; valedictorian, B. F. Hutchings; salutatorian, F. S. Pentzer; Historian, J. B. Harris; Prophet, B W. Blair; hat speech, Isaac Bradley; class poem, George Forrelich; music, Dan Crew. This will probably be one of the most interesting programs during the week. Personal. Miss Alice Ropes went to Topeka Saturday. J. J. Mastin visited last week in Kansas City. Prof. Canfield has a pet mouse in his class room. Joe Harris, of Chicago, visited Julius Liepman, Tuesday. Mrs. Wilkinson, of Seneca, visited her son Paul last week. H. E. Finney goes to Kansas City to-day to hear Booth. W. A. Jackson returned Monday from a visit to Leavenworth. Alice Horton is the latest to join the ranks of the I.C. sorosis. Armstrong received a pleasant visit from his mother last week. Julius Leipman returned last week from a short visit to Fort Scott. Wheeler carries his nose in a sling from the effects of a carbuncle. Sam Cook, a graduate of '55, visited his Phi Delt brothers last week. Mamie Anderson will make a short visit to K. S. U. in the near future. May Page has returned to school after an absence of three weeks on account of sickness. Miss Stella Overton is expected up from Wyandotte to-day to visit friends at the University. White, our local fiend, is at work on an entirely new "gag" which we hope to give our readers next week. W. R. Armstrong has changed his pledge to that of a brother and now wears the shield and dagger of Phi Delta Theta. B. W. Woodward gave the Pharmacy class a very instructive lecture last Friday on "How to Become a Successful Druggist." The many friends of Ross Wemple will be glad to learn that he has recovered from his recent illness and is again at his post at the Santa Fe depot. P. P. Campbell, of Baker University, was in town Monday on a shopping expedition preparatory to his departure for Bloomington, next week. Hereafter Sam Lindsey will be known as the champion pill compounder of the Pharmacy class, as he is at present at work on a pill the size of an average person's head and which will be used in the graduating exercises of that class. Our sympathies to the recipient. J. W. Gleed has recently been in Washington, where he argued the celebrated Mugler case before the United States Supreme Court. Mr. Gleed represented the State of Kansas and Senator Vest was Mugler's attorney. Mr. Gleed thinks that a majority of the court will sustain the State law. It is a high compliment to Mr. Gleed to be employed upon such a case. Buy a Straw Hat of Abe Levy.
