Bishop J. H. Vincent, who was to deliver the Baccalaureate address at the University this year, has received positive orders from his physician to cancel all engagements, and consequently he will be unable to fulfill his engagement here.

Mrs. Gardner's millinery opening was a great success. A large number of ladies were present and seemed greatly pleased with the handsome styles and the large amount of millinery displayed. The prices were found to be much lower than at any other millinery store in Lawrence, while the goods excelled all tothers in style and trimming. The sales have been very large but the completeness of the stock has not been marred.

First debater, E. W. Palmer;second debater, G. W. Schumaker orator, S. W. Baxter.
About a year ago a correspondent in the STUDENT'S JOURNAL called attention to the rattling of the windows in the chapel. He stated that it was a great annoyance, and inasmuch as it would be remedied for a trifling outlay, there was no reason why the nuisance should not be abated.
Rattling Windows.
His statements are as true now as then, and the more frequent use to which the chapel is now put makes the change more imperative. The Monday and Tuesday evening lectures are attended by hundreds of people—students and citizens—and the time for the spring oratory contest is close at hand. The Superintendent of Buildings or the Ortonical Association, by stopping the rattling of the windows, would earn the gratitude of the entire student body and of many of our friends, the citizens.

THE FIRST GAME OF THE SEASON.
The McCooks Win in the Ninth Inning-
Details of the Game.
A small crowd saw the McCooks of Fort Leavenworth defeated by K. U. in a closely fought game last Saturday. The game was called promptly at 3 o'clock at McCook field with Mr. Maxwell, of Illinois University, as umpire.
The teams were both in pretty good shape and played as follows:
McCloosh R. C.
Fieldcamp C Kelsey
Hunter 2nd B Alden
Sickles C Field Chamberlain
Booth P Wagner
Crow 3rd Base Hogeboom
Lacy SS Matteson
Brown 1st Base Mitchell
Dyer L Field Hogeboom
Conley R Field Steinberger
The scoring commenced early in the game, and when the first innning was over K. U. had four rumb to her credit and the McCooks two
In the second inning K. U. got a man on second base but failed to score, and the McCooks started in to play ball. Brown led with a two-base hit and Dyer reached first through a glaring error of Mitchell's. A wild throw to second let's Brown in and Fieldcamp takes a base on four balls and things begin to look lively, but Hunter knocks a foul and is run out. Sieckles knocks a high fly to center field and the side is retired.
The third inning was short. Mitchell made first on an error by Brown, Hogeboom advances him to second by a sacrifice hit, but Wagner and Alden fail to reach first base and no score is made.
The game throughout was close and interesting, the score being 5 to 6 in favor of the McCooks.
SNOW HALL.
The taxidermy department has just received three very fine pairs of elk horns.
The taxidermy department has received a collection of small mammal from Texas.
The result of the force of gravity upon the direction of the growth of plants is being tested in the Botanical Laboratory by a direct experiment. A lily is placed top downwards under the influence of a side-light only. It is slowly rotated so as to receive an equal amount of light on all sides.
Lewis Phillips, who has been collecting small mammals under Prof. Dyche, has resigned his position.
Miss Wellman is making some charts showing the anatomy and illustrating the life history of insects.
Tucker is busy duplicating lautern slides for the German department of the University of Nebraska.
The experiment performed last week by the botany department shewing the effect of a centifugal force upon the direction of the growth of plants was a decided success. The stems, instead of growing upward, leaned greatly toward the center of the rotating pan while the roots grew outward instead of downward.
The entomology department has received from New York in exchange a collection of some forty specimens of posse of moths. In this collection are several hybrid specimens—crosses between two different species. They are already beginning to hatch and the moths are being comfortably nurtured. Most of them are of very large varieties measuring as much as five inches between the tips of the wings.
An experiment is now being performed by the Botany department to measure the force with which the roots of plants drive the sap upward through the stem. A U tube containing mercury has one end attached to the growing stem which is cut off above the ground. The height to which the mercury is forced in the other arm of the tube indicates the amount of force with which the sap is driven upwards into the tube. The test will be made upon plants of different habits—tall growing trees and low bushes; quick growers and slow growets.

Monday Holidays.
The recent change from all day Saturday holidays to two half holidays a week (Wednesday and Saturday afternoons) while on the whole a change for the better, is not entirely satisfactory. Probably no plan could be devised that would suit everybody, but it is the opinion of many that Monday holidays would be the best.
Only a few students are affected by the Wednesday half-holidays; a large majority still have the Saturday holiday as formerly. Under this system the majority of students do not study much between Friday and Monday. Tired of books, they seek rest and recreation, while study is post-poned, first to Saturday morning, then to the afternoon, and again to evening. Saturday evening, however, is not a good time for study, and many again postpone the day of labor until to-morrow. On Sunday the same process of post-ponement is gone through with, and finally the last hope is put in early rising on Monday morning.
Probably four-fifths of all the students study more or less on Sundays, yet the instructors agree that Monday's lessons are the poorest of the whole week. The truth is, students do not study much on holidays; or if they do, they do not learn much. To make matters worse, the students do not enjoy themselves; the consciousness of work undone spoils all their pleasure.
If the Monday holiday were established, students would rest on Saturday evening and on Sunday, and by Monday morning they will again be ready for work. Tuesday's recitations would be as good as those of any other day, and Sunday would not be spoiled by the contemplated performance of work that is felt should have been done the day before.
**trof, Lee the Mesmerist**, is turning Emporia to topy turv. **Tuesday's** Gazette says: "In the exhibit in hypnosis at the opera house last night, if V. Burdem, one of the best known business men of the town, was one of subjects and was under the control of Prof. Lee. Mrs. Adkers was placed on a backboard behind her feet on the back of one chair and her feet upon another, then the professor stood upon her unsupported body which could not be seen even under his weight.
AMUSEMENTS.

Students, Dolly Graber will be found at his usual place of business with his beats in fine shape and ready to accommodate you.
DOING HER DUTY.
I saw her at the village pump,
Beside the broken wall;
I heard the handle creak and thump,
I heard the water fall.
She placed the pail upon her head,
And as she passed me by,
"I've just been milking, sir," she said,
and winked the other eye—Ex.
This week's Courier speaks of the new Fraternity, Kappa Alpha Theta. It mentions the name of Prof. Dains and Fred King as among the old members of the Frat now in school. It further states that it is a Sophomore frat and that members of the other gentlemen frat are eligible to membership. The local editor of the Courier evidently has Kappa Alpha Theta on the brain. Perhaps, his best girl—but we are surmising.
