Economic Seminary.
The Seminary will hold its first meeting since the holidays on Monday evening. January 4th, at half past seven o'clock, in the Seminary room of the Department of History and Sociology. J. H. Engle will read a paper on Topolobampo, a Communistic Experiment, and S. S. Brown will report on an important article in a recent economic periodical. All members should endeavor to be present promptly on time. The meeting will be a very interesting one.
Dean Penny has made some important changes in the work of his school, which are announced elsewhere in this issue. He is again using the room in the north tower lately used for the gymnasium. A number of years ago this room contained the whole of the Department of Music, which has now expanded into the School of Fine Arts under the able management of the Dean.
Fred Funston.
The lecture to be given this evening, on Alaska will be well worth the students' attendance. Mr. Funston's years of experience in the less known parts of Alaska give him information of great value and interest.
The fact that he has many friends in Lawrence, that he is an old University student, and that his lecture is given for the benefit of the Athletic Association, will add to the crowd which will go to hear him. His very interesting lecture on Alaskan Indians delivered under the auspices of Science Club a couple of years or so ago, gave him a reputation as a ready and interesting talker, which will bring out all who heard him upon that occasion.
Mr. Funston will soon start out upon a lecture tour through the state. We prophesy for him a very successful trip. Those who do not hear him will miss a treat.
The Cricket on the Hearth.
Read the Capital for legislative news.
The excellent dramatization of this charming story of Dickens' will be given again, by request, on the stage of Unity Church tomorrow evening. Those who saw the play when it was given before, say it was very well rendered. The actors have had considerable previous experience, and they are so well adapted to their roles that the performance was free from obtrusive amateurishness. Those who won especial mention in the daily press were M. A Barber as Caleb Plummer, Eva Brown, as Blind Bertha, Marthilde Henrichs, and Frank Menet, who makes his "Old Tackleton" "as disagreeable as Dickins intends it should be."
The proceeds of the entertainment will go toward paying for installing the pipe organ soon to be placed in Unity Church.
Adelphic.
Where the Student Buys the Oil.
The Adelphic will meet as usual this evening. A very interesting program has been prepared and all interested are cordially invited to attend.

How can I pass, and spare the midnight oil?

"It pains me very much to think of flunking you; but -" Now, professor, we are beginning to think alike about this matter. Can't we arbitrate?"
George D. Bahen, the Georgetown College football player, who was so badly injured in a game on Thanksgiving Day that for a time his life was despaired of, is in a fair way now to recovery, but it is feared he will be a cripple all his days. The fifth cervical vertebra was fractured and the consequent pressure upon the spinal cord produced paralysis below the neck.-Ex. Our readers will remember that this case was mentioned in the Columbian Letter published in our last issue.
