We earnestly hope that certain persons will give us a rest about that "Junior Promenade." It is becoming an out of date chestnut.
H. G. Landis has invented a new battery for medical purposes. It consists of carbon plates placed in a solution of sulphate of mercury.
Dana Templin was taken sick quite suddenly Monday morning in the Chemistry building. He was reported better after a few hours
Several of the Engineering students at tended the party given by the I. Y. L. Friday evening. All the boys reports an excellent time and are high in the praises of the "Barb" girls as entertainers.
Mr. Ward is repairing one of the old steam pumps which was discarded as useless by the University some ten years ago. This is the second pump that he has rebuilt since the Electrical Engineering department was established. A new pump would cost the University about two hundred dollars.
The Best Attraction
The last half of the University musical and lecture course is the best half this year. The attractions yet to come are among the best ever brought to Lawrence, and there is hardly any question but that there will be a great demand for seats at each one.
The first of these is the lecture on next Monday night by George R. Wendling, of Chicago, on the "Man of Galilee." Mr. Wendling is known from one end of the American continent to the other as the most eloquent orator in the United States and is everywhere given orations such as are only accorded those who have the ability to please
and move the people. The attraction following that of Mr.Wendling is the joint program to be given by Mrs Scott Siddons and Mrs. Clara Murray; Mrs. Siddons is too well known to need anything said about her, and Mrs. Murray is a harpist of note, having graduated from the Chicago conservative of music and since that time having been a great favorite with all who have heard her play. The last attraction of the course is the lecture to be given in April by Eugene Field.
It will be seen by this that the three coming engagements will each of them be rare treats The tickets for each one will probably be 75 cents each, but for the entire course tickets have been put at the low figure of $1, and can now be purchased at the Santa Fe ticket office It is not often that the people of Lawrence have had the opportunity given them to hear such noted men and women as are now on the list, and a positive contract has been made by the University musical and lecture course management for each one, so that there is no doubt of their coming, and to show that the efforts are appreciated they should all be greeted with houses to the very doors.—Lawrence Journal.
Chancellor McDowell, Lectures.
