The Alpha Senate of the State Normal is in full blast. Where is the Moot senate of K. S. U?. Must it wait for the election returns?
Judging from the report of its meeting in the Quarterly the society at the State Normal known as the Lyceum should change its name to "The Grand-Illoquent."
"The State Normal has its eye on first place" in oratory this year, but with chapel rhetoricals that eye will surely be knocked out by K. S. U.

A Republican Club
About seventy-five republican University students met and organized a college republican club at the K. of P. hall last Saturday night.
The object of the club is discussion and consideration of the principles underlying the different political parties, believing that the open discussion of all questions affecting the people from a social and political standpoint should be the object of every citizen. Patriotism and not partisanship is the motto of this club. A permanent organization was effected by the adoption of a constitution and by laws the selection of J. A. Rush president, E. E. Hopkins vice president, W. H. Platt secretary, W. W. Reno treasurer, W. Kinzie, sergeant-at-arms, W. Ellis and J. M Steele executive committee. The club issued invitations to John J. Ingalls, Gov. Foraker and other prominent speakers to deliver addresses in this city under the auspices of the club.
The next meeting will be held next Saturday night at which meeting at least 150 young republicans will be present and arrangements will be made to participate in the republicans rally on the 19th.
THE BALL GAME.
K. 3, U. Wins by a Score of 15
To 6
Notwithstanding the lack of interest lately manifested in base ball, on account of the vigorous foot ball practice for positions on the team for the Denver trip, a large crowd witnessed the game between K. U. and Haskell, on the Haskell ground's Saturday morning.
The fact that a crack twirler would throw for K U and that Jim Kelsey would be behind the bat as usual induced many students to attend. K U takes the field with Goar in the box.
The Indians couldn't touch the curves of the man from the northeast except for only one or two light taps and at the close of the third inning no score had been recorded.
At the beginning of the fourth inning, Gear retired. Phillips taking his place in the box for K. U. The Indians faced our new pitch or rather nervously and failed to score.

Buckhart was now on third, Mackey on second and Augusta on first. Pigeon went out on foul hit. Buckhart scored on an error. Mosaw struck out. Mackey and Augusta dying on bases

Kinzie took Phillips' place in the box at the seventh inning. Mackey got base on balls. Augusta mada a base hit, and Mackey took second. Pigeon made a hit to left field. Augusta and Mackey scored. Mosaw made a base hit and Pigeon scored. Things were getting exciting now, but simmered down for Blue, Pedonquette and Baird were struck out in one, two, three, order.
Kinzie was now at his old time throwing and the Indians failed to score during the two remaining innings.
In the first inning for K. S. U. Matti-
son went out on foul. Sherman out at
first. Hogg got, first, being struck by

Arnold, a last year's pharmacy student visited the University Friday.
Marshal William McChesney, of the Orange police department, has instituted a novel feature in the working of the police system of this city, which bis-fair to prove a success and be worthy of emulation.
Biclevels for Policemen.
For the past week the marshal has had lessons given in bicycle riding to all the roundsmen and sergeants of the force. Safety bicycles of the latest patent are used and the men are rapidly becoming proficient in their use. In the near future the police station equipments are to be enlarged by the addition of several safety bicycles and one or more tandems. The roundsmen, whose territory includes several widely separated posts, are to be mounted on these silent steeds and will be able to approach a patrolman without any warning.
In cases of outbreaks or disturbances in remote portions of the city the tandem will be brought into requisition and two athletic policemen will wheel themselves to the desired point. The wheels will all be painted a bright red or other equally distinctive color, and a heavy penalty will be inflicted for interference with one by any unauthorized person.
Marshal McChesney is enthusiastic over his new departure in police work, and declares that the "sand papered" roads of the Oranges can be turned to as good account for thief catching as for record breaking by bicyclists. The officers are to wear the regulation police uniform, with an option of knee breeches or pantsaloons full length.-Cor, New York Times.
Hop Growing in the West.
Experiments made during the past year in Kansas and Iowa prove that with irrigation hops can be made very profitable in the prairie states. The absence of fogs and the breezy atmosphere ripen them perfectly, and there is nothing to hinder a valuable industry being added to the west's growing features. The perennial nature of the hop plant and the pleasant manner of gathering the product make the year's work seem easy and congenial. The west, if it takes up hop culture, will find that it has secured a business combining profit and pleasure in a pleasing ratio.—Chicago Herald.
The west is rapidly taking hold of hop culture, and fields are being planted in many states, and particularly on the Pacific slope in the northwest. California and Wisconsin are also prominent, eighteen states in all being more or less engaged in the business. New York still leads them all, but Washington is climbing higher in the ranks each year. The clear skies, pure air and rich slopes of the foothills of the Sierras are particularly adapted to hop raising, and the time is coming soon when the Pacific slope will be the leading producer. There are new uses discovered constantly for hops, and the demand for them is increasing.
A Tiny White Shoe.
It is not the adolescent youth who returns from his summer vacation to the place behind the counter wearing an easily bendable bungle about his callow wrist who is most to be pitted. Ah, not! That is sad and sweet, but may be trusted to wear off in time, as salaries do not increase. The saddest case is that of a broth of a boy who cherishes a tiny white canvas shoe. It is a dainty No. 2 and as pure as the snow on Alpine peaks. Of course he stole it, for no girl in her senses would give any man her shoe. But all the same he is bothering his sister with bribes to make a Cinderella cushion of that shoe, filling up the incep with stuffed satin of a realistic flesh colored tin, into which he would no more dare stick a pin than in the warm, quivering little foot of his fair amorata.-New York News.
A Wedding Without a Bridegroom.
A Wedding Without a Bridegroom.
Something like the performance of the great Shakespearean drama with the principal character absent has taken place at Ivry, a borough in the southeastern part of Paris. Two young persons, who may be referred to as Francois and Marie, had resolved to enter the bonds of wedlock. Everything had been prepared not only for the ruptual ceremony at the mayor's office, but also for the marriage feast. The eventful hour was approaching, Monsieur le Maire-girl with his "cash of office" and accompanied by his registrar, was waiting at his desk. The bride, all gay bedecked with orange blossoms, had arrived at the mairie with her friends, but Francis, the faithless, came not.
Scouts were sent out after him, but they searched for him in vain. He had vanished from his lodgings and had left no message behind for anybody. The disappointed damsel in the white dress and orange blossoms, instead of pining like Mariana and wishing she were dead, left the mayor's office and led the way to the restaurant where the feast was set. There she occupied the principal seat and gaily partook of the viands and fluids which had been ordered for the occasion. Afterward the fiddlers and pianist were directed to strike up, and dancing was indulged in for several hours as if there had really been a wedding.—Paris Letter.
The Second Largest Diamond.
The second largest diamond in the world is undergoing the cutting process at Antwerp. Its weight is at present 474 carats, but it will lose no less than 274 carats before it is ready for market. Even then, however, it will be the second largest diamond in the world, standing between the eighty carats of the Persian diamond, "Great Mogul," and the 197-7-10 carats of the Russian "Opoloff" brilliant. Roughly speaking, the Antwerp stone will be about the size of a pigeon's egg. In its present state it measures 2.841 inches by 1.767 inches. Its polished surface will measure 7.58 inch each way.
Barbarian Food
Some idea of the enormous expense of the transmutation of these costly trifles from the natural to the commercial state may be gathered from the fact that the great English crown diamond, the Kohminor, which has only the comparatively modest weight of $102\frac{1}{2}$ carats, cost no less than £8,000 to cut and polish. The polishing of a very large diamond is a very slow process, and it will be a long time before the actual value of the Antwerp stone can be determined, as its luster and water cannot be decided until it has left the polisher's hands.—Ueber Land und Meer.
The Naval Parade.
The coming naval parade in New York harbor on Oct. 12 will not be as imposing an affair, so far as naval vessels are concerned, as the centennial parade of three years ago. Then, as now, Acting Rear Admiral Walker had command, but he had on that occasion the Chicago, Boston, Atlanta, York town, Kearsarge and the Jamestown. Notwithstanding the fact that a dozen new steel vessels have been added to our national fleet since 1889, yet all Admiral Waller can muster in October will be the Chicago, Atlanta, Philadelphia with two torpedo boats, the Vesuvius and the diminutive Cushing. Our other vessels are widely scattered, where they are absolutely needed, and there are twelve vessels slowly approaching completion. The Carnegie strikes have had considerable to do with the backwardness of the armor plating of the new cruisers, and it is doubtful if such vessels as the Maine, New York or Puritan will be ready for the grand celebration—Brooklyn Eagle.
