by the past, and, as women have always held a position withdrawn from the business of the world, it is very plainly the will of God that they should live in the secluded quiet of the home rather than in the reckless bustle of the political world.
"The most interesting feature of these objections," said the lady, interrupting herself in her reading, is the certainty on the part of the antisuffragists as to the plans of the Creator. How any one can be so sure of the divinely-appointed sphere of woman in a world so full of uncertainty as ours is more than I can see. However, there are more objections," said the lady, unrolling her manuscript its full extent and exposing a yard of written page. But perhaps I had better spare you: they can all be classed under two or three heads. When they don't betray the grossest ignorance and selfishness, they show that the objectors have given very little deliberate and unprejudiced consideration to the question.
"And perhaps the most that can be said in favor of the question." continued the lady "may be summed up in the following: Women are individuals, the same as men; are subject to the same laws as men, and ought to have a voice in the making of those laws. We do not make you any promises for the future. We do not know the result any more than you. We have our opinions, of course; some of us think matters will be better, some worse. But we believe that woman's suffrage is inherently right, whatever the immediate result, and we are willing to trust the future to the Divine Ruler of the Universe. Shall I go on with the objections?" The lady dropped from her serious words into her former one of mock solemnity so suddenly that the editor laughed outright.
"No." he said, at the same time inscribing his name in her book. He handed her the book, which she took, and rose immediately.
"Good afternoon Madam," said the Editor, bowing very low.
"I thank you very much," said the lady.
DR. BELL'S GIFT.
At last a School of Medicine as a department of the University of Kansas is assured. Dr. Simeon S. Bell, of Rosedale, Kans., has deeded to the University property valued at one hundred thousand dollars, with the condition that this property shall be used to build and equip a hospital where the clinical work of the school can be carried on.
When Chancellor Snow returned from his vacation trip he found a proposition from Dr. Bell awaiting him. He went to Rosedale, examined the property and accepted the gift. The Regents meet today and tomorrow they will go down, and after looking the property over, formally accept the gift.
Dr. Bell has intended for some time to devote his property to founding a medical college, but it was through the efforts of Dr. Tiffany, of Kansas City, and of Professor Sayre that the University was chosen as the recipient of Dr. Bell's munjienfe. John Sullivan, of Kansas City, acted for the University in arranging the details of the transfer.
The property consists of one hundred and one lots in Rosedale and thirty-two acres of land, to be used as the site of the hospital. The land is all in Wyandotte county, only half a mile from the Union depot, and is on the Metropolitan street car line.
The present plan is to establish a four year's course in medicine. The first two year's work will be done here and the last two years—which will consist largely of clinical work—will be done at Rosedale. The course will be so arranged that a student can, by selecting the proper work here, finish it in two years after receiving his bachelor's begree from the school of Arts.
LAW NOTES.
Examination of candidates for the junior law class was held Thursday afternoon. Many students were admitted from accredited schools.
Examination of candidates for the senior law class was held Friday morning.
The junior law class will at once begin the study of Lawson on Contracts under Prof. Green the hours of recitation being from 10 to 12. The senior class begins the study of Torts under Mr.Riggs, the recitation hour being 9 to 10.
The additions to the faculty of the law school this year are Judge Humphrey of Junction City who teaches Constitutional Law and Judge Dobson of ___ who will take Corporations. Both of these gentlemen stand high in the legal profession being two of the brightest lawyers in Kansas.
Prof. Green strongly discountenances all endeavors of the law students to take studies in the art school. He is not alone in his belief that the subject of law is broad enough to occupy the whole time of any student.
Students of the senior class are advised to review the subjects of the junior class especially those of Contracts, Agency and Commercial Paper.
Kent club will be called to order at 9 o'clock for the purpose of ecting officers for the ensuing term. All students of the School of Law may become members by signing the constitution.
The reception given by the Baptists to the students of the university was a very pleasant affair and all present had a very enjoyable time.
Dana Templin is back in school and will take post graduate work.
THE GEOLOGICAL SURVEY.
Professor Haworth's summer school in geology was very successful during the past vacation, and quite an addition was made to the already large collection of minerals.
The class consisted of J. G. Hall, Gerge L. Adams, of the class '93, Rev. John Bennett, rector of the Episcopal church in Fort Scott, and J. Z. Gilbert, a graduate of McPherson College. Mr. Gilbert and Mr. Adams are now at the University taking post graduate work in geology and kindred sciences.
Classes similar to this summer class have been carried on under the direction of Professor Haworth for several years. The work has been done principally in southeastern Kansas. The various systems of rocks, minerals, and shales have been traced and diagramed quite thoroughly. Records of deep wells have been kept, and says Professor Haworth, "we are now in possession of sufficient data to make a complete detailed geological map of southeastern Kansas."
Professor Haworth also found time during the summer to spend a week visiting the lead and zinc mines of Joplin, Mo. He expresses himself as very well pleased with the summer's work.
Among the three thousand pounds of specimens collected this summer is a fine large specimen of calcite, weighing over nine hundred pounds. The specimens are all fine ones, and they will soon be on display.
The Bismarck Fair
Everything is booming this year. The University is starting out with a rush that contrasts most favorably with the spirit of the last few years. The same spirit is to be seen about Lawrence. Bismark Fair which will be held at Bismark Grove from the 24th to the 29th of this month is a fit representative of the returning good times.
The enterprise of the management is shown by the many special features that will be added to the regular ones. Besides the farm, stock and machinery exhibits, which are seen at all fairs, there will be a fine speed ring. On the political days the students will have the opportunity of hearing the foremost representatives of the different political parties of Kansas. The men who will speak are orators of fine reputation such as the Hon. David Overmeyer, and the Hon. J. R Burton. The military battalions of Haskell Institute will be in camp during the Fair, and show what good soldiers the red-skins are. The Lawrence Cycling Club, whose members belong to the National Lengue of American Wheelen, have arranged for a series of bicycle races, and fast men have already made known their intention of entering.
In fact we believe our students will think it fortunate that they came to Lawrence, if only to attend this Fair. Admission is twenty-five cents. Bismark Grove is reached by the Lawrence Street Car Line, and is one of the most beautiful natural forests in Kansas.
The steamer Portia, upon which Professor Dyche had taken passage for New York, ran into the schooner Dora M. French, in a dense fog. This accident cost four of the schooner's crew their lives.
Through the press dispatches comes the news that Prof. Dyche has met with another accident.
Since our last issue Mrs. Dyche has received a letter from the professor stating that he was in good health. He had collected about a thousand dollars worth of specimens, which were all lost.
The students will remember that this is the third wreck with which the party in which Prof, Dyche went has been connected.

We believe that a very large majority of the students will be glad to learn that the faculty of the school of Arts has petitioned the University Council to do away with the plan, which was adopted last year, of having a half holiday on Wednesday and a half day of school on Saturday. The old plan of having five whole days' of school and a whole day's holiday on Saturday is much more satisfactory to professors and to students. Often instructors have occasion to be absent upon University business and, as a half day is seldom long enough to allow for the trip, they are obliged to dismiss one or more classes. The students, too, have found that two half holidays a week are no holiday, as far as to what can be accomplished in them, and that they interrupt regular work very seriously. Especially have the students of the natural sciences been discomposed by the plan of having two half holidays. They often wish to go some distance from Lawrence to special localities for the purpose of collecting geological, botanical or entomological specimens, and such an excursion cannot generally be made in much less than a day. By all means let us return to the old plan of five days school and an all day holiday.
WHAT will be done this year in regard to tennis? This excellent sport has been allowed to get on as best it could for the last two years without any care from the athletic association. A few years ago, when the University controlled the Warren street courts, very enjoyable tournaments were given from time to time. There are plenty of good players in the University this year, so why would it not be well for the athletic association to lay out tennis courts on MetCook field and have a tournament soon? Good games would secure a good attendance of students and the association could make a neat little sum in this way, at very little expense.
In the tennis tournament at Kansas City last year Russ Whitman won the medal as champion in singles of the four states. Consequently he did not enter in the singles at the tournament held this week. He has only to defend the medal won last year against the winner in this year's tournament, he entered, however, in the doubles
