The remarkable large receipts played to this season by Mr. Whiteside and his excellent company has caused no little comment in the theatrical circles. In St. Louis, Indianapolis, Baltimore, Montreal, St. Paul and Minneapolis and other large cities, the audiences many nights each week tested the capacity of the theatres. Through one night stands crowded houses have been the rule. Mr. Whiteside's beautiful production of "The Merchant of Venice," that most popular of comedies, has been received with the greatest favor, and the Actor is
rapidly regaining his small fortune which he lost by the burning of the Coats house last year.

Chemical Atoms.
During the last two weeks the number of books in the library has been quite materially increased by the addition of the Jahesbericht, and Richters Lextun der Kohlenstoffbinding.
Dr. Bartow met with what might have proved to be a serious accident last Monday. While he was boiling a mixture of sulphuric acid and alcohol the delivery tube became stopped up and the flask exploded throwing its hot contents all over the Professor. Luckily there was plenty of water close at hand and aside from the loss of a suit of clothes and a few burns on his face and hands he is none the less for his experience.
The qualitative classes begin on their first "unknown," Monday and the "unknown machine" has been put in order in anticipation of the coming rush. This unknown machine is one that was built last year by Herbert Bailey under the direction of Prof. Cady and so far as known it is the only thing of the kind in existence. By its aid it is possible to make a mixture of twenty-five different substances and automatically register what three substances are.
Dr. Franklin and Professor Cady have been putting in all their spare time since early last fall on some special work on the speed of the ions in liquid ammonia. On account of the low temperature at which the ammonia has to be kept and the numerous difficulties that arise in consequence of this low temperature they were unable to get any results until this week. This work over which the two professors have become so interested that they have even eaten their dinners in the laboratory bids fair to become a very important addition to our scientific knowledge.
--plies to Christians as well as to the unconverted. His words, full of deep sympathy and encouragement proved a source of inspiration to all who heard them.
Mr. Whiteside's engagement has been announced for Mar. 21. This fine actor, his excellent supporting company and production of the beautiful comedy, "The Merchant of Venice" will no doubt call forth an immense audience.
Y. M. C. A. Notes.

Mr. Roy Moodie left yesterday afternoon for Toronto, Canada, where he will attend the convention of Student Volunteers.
Y. M. C. A. members received a good share of Phi Beta Kappa honors. It is certainly with best interests of the Association that the members maintain a high grade of scholarship.
Dr. Walton of New York City, will address a men's mass-meeting of the City and University Y. M. C. A. Sunday afternoon at 3:30 in the Congregational Church.
Most of the delegates to the convention will start Monday afternoon at 5:20. Arrangements have been practically completed for sending another delegate. This will make ten in all.
The Association has seldom been more fortunate in securing a speaker than it has been in Mr. Griffiths who addressed meetings Saturday, Sunday, and Monday. Mr. Griffiths has a way of speaking which compells attention throughout.

PHI BETA KAPPA.
In these days when various seniors are proudly wearing pink and blue, it may be interesting to know something of the history of Phi Beta Kappa, the mother of all fraternities.
Brief History of Its Organization.
It was in the stormy nays of 1776 at William and Mary's College in Virginia, that a band of young men met and formulated the principles of the fraternity among the founders John Marshall's name is the brightest, but of the immortal forty-four, many were prominent statesman. The original purpose of the society strangely enough now, but naturally enough then, was the union of the separate colonies. The fraternity was then in reality a club devoted to practical political philosophy.
From William and Mary's Elisha Parmele carried the frauenity to Yale in 1730 and to Harvard in 1781. The origina chapter died in 1787, was revived in 1855 and again perished during the civil war. Its records are lost.
When William Morgan was killed in 1826 presumably for divulging Masons secrets, a great crusade was waged against secret orders. Under the pressure of John Quincy Adams, Harvard Alpha then voted to publish all the secret work. This was done and all the secrets were known except a few symbols on the Key and they have since been lost.
From this time on the fraternity was more than ever devoted to scholarship and philosophy. Its growth has been natural but only in the very best schools. Several state institutions have been refused charters. Among the noted members have been the Adams, Emerson, Holmes, Hale, Garfield, Arthur and scores of others equally famous. Five presidents have been Phi Beta Kappa, including Theodore Roosevelt.
Engineers' Banquet.
The Engineer's banquet was held last Saturday evening in I. O, O. F. hall. The details of the affair were mentioned in our last issue. The program given herewith could not be secured in time last week for publication. Prof. Marvin was toast master and the following toasts were responded to:

Mr. Baines-Griffiths of Topica addressed the Association at its regular midweek meeting last Wednesday. He took the text "Lo, I stand at the door and knock," and showed very forcefully how it ap-
Senior Class Meeting.
To the Seniors convened yesterday to discuss several important topics. It was decided to wear caps and gowns during the Commencement Week. A committee was appointed to purchase class pins, the design of last year to be retained. It was further voted to have an indoor spread next Saturday evening, details and location to be furnished at a later date. The Business Manager of the Annual was present to urge all Seniors to deposit their photos with him as soon as possible.
"OLD JED PROUTY."
Homely Yankee Farm Life has the Boards at the Theater.
"Old Jed Pronty," which was revived by Mr. Richard Gold and his company at the California Theater last night, is undoubtedly one of the best plays of Yankee farm life. It is far better than "Way Down East" and as good as the "Old Homestead." Like the latter veteran, it destroys the natural sympathy for its hero, a simple, affec
tionate, tenderhearted but ignorant old man from the country, by taking him to the city and making him ridiculous among the surroundings of urban civilization. Jed Prouty, who is naturally all smiles and tears, homely humor and heart-wrenching kindness and goodness, becomes a clown when he is made to feel upholstered chairs with wonder and to start back horrified at the sight of his niece in evening dress.
The scene in the rural court where Jed defends the bad boy of the village with such a grotesque imitation of the manner of sophisticated pleaders in law, but also with so much righteous wrath, is full of wholesome fun and laughter that comes from a happy source. The very ineffectual and constantly repentant villain, in his intervals of blackheartedness affords Jed a chance to display his tears. The pathos of "Old Jed Prouthy" reaches the heart because it is not overdone. It is so intermixed with humor that it is gone almost before the sympathetic women of the audience have been able to get out their handkerchiefs.
