12 UNIVERSITY COURIER. flattering everything and suppressing unpleasant facts, or to speak the truth, however much it may nettle those to whom it applies. Although it may not always be the smoothest course, the COURIER believes the latter is the only method of producing a readable paper, and shall continue to criticise freely in the future, as it has in the past. If it tramps on any one's toes let them squeal. Miss Florence Finch has accepted an invitation to read a paper before the South Boston Club, her subject being, "Women in American Politics."—The Woman's Journal. Go to Mettner's for photos. John T.

Four months have not elapsed since they began, yet they have a large hall, thoroughly fitted and everything in excellent working order. A reading room has lately been added to their hall. Any style photos at Mettner's. Troupe come to this place which little benefit those who attend, but the Hess Acme Opera Company, to play her January 13th, we can recommend as one which students will thoroughly enjoy. The New York Tribune, a paper not given to flattery, says: "The Chimes of Normandy' were rung merrily last night at the Standard Theatre by the Acme Opera Company. The scenery was elaborate and the costumes of the actors were brilliant. Henry C. Peakes, as the miser was wildly applauded and called twice before the curtain." Mettner will give you satisfaction. Don't fail to hear the best play of the season. "Esmeralda," January 19th. The COURIEB, has been delayed by the serious illness of John Reuhl foreman of the office. If you want a good photo try Mettner. Our last three departments have been cut short this time by the delay of the issue.

MISCELLANY. JUNIOR CLASS RHETORICALS. Through a desire of the managers of the COURIER to publish for the benefit of its readers the entire list of contest productions, the following rhetoricals were crowded out. To avoid any charge of partiality or neglect, the editors of the department of miscellany have thought best to insert them in the present issue, although they may seem to have some smack of age. It is hoped that the circumstances of the case will be a sufficient apology for the delay: Thursday morning, November 17th-W. T. Findley delivered an oration on the Rise, Progress and Decay of Nations, which showed good thought but a lack of time in committing. Friday morning, 17th-Miss Mary Gilmore pronounced a fitting eulogy on England's great queen-Elizabeth. The characteristics of the good "Queen Bess" were delineated in a way which was gratifying to the admirers of Elizabeth. Monday, the 20th—J. P. Jacke discoursed very sensibly on the subject of Philanthropy. He claimed that the Missionary is the most philanthropic of all mortals. Tuesday 21st—Miss Mary Griffith made a pleasant speech on the character and reign of Louis XIV. Wednesday, 22d—Remarks on the subject of temperance by the Chancellor. Monday, 27th-A spirited defense of Voltaire and his principles by Walter Britton. TO THE PUBLIC We wish to say, If in Need of Boots and Shoes, THE FAMILY SHOE STORE!
