Prof Farrell attended the lecture song recital in Kansas City Tuesday given by William Shakespeare, the great London vocal teacher.
FINE ARTS DEPARTMENT,
Miss Anna Hoffman returned Tuesday and has taken up her work again in the musical department.
The faculty will give a series of three concerts this year. The first will be in a bout two weeks. They will be assisted by Prof Hopkins.
The Fine Arts department was quite well represented at the Padarewski concert Those who attended were Prof. Preyer, Prof, and Mrs. Farrell, Prof. Griffith, Elizabeth Hudson, Clara Winter, Laura Thorp, Bessie Criss, Zoe Smith, Edith Davis, Mrs. Worley, Cora Moore, Maure Brom, Anna Hoffman, Ethel King, Ella Nungesser, Viah Cross, Harold Henry and James Campbell.
Miss Mattie Brom has resumed her work again after an absence of a few weeks.
Mr. C. C. Jones had an accident in the shop the first of the week. He was grinding a lathe tool on the big grindstone when the tool slipped off the stone and his hand was caught between the stone and its frame and so tightly wedged as to stop the stone. The first joint of his thumb was ground nearly to the bone.
ENGI NFERING DEPARTMENT NOTES
W. Hoad, 97, has been on the bill several days the past week. Mr. Hoad has a position in the Territory as civil engineer,
The number now enrolled in the shop is 81.
The telegraph association extended its lines a half a mile the past week. The lines are scattered over the student quarter of towns from the University to the goo block on Tennessee street. There are now twenty-three in the association. Membership in the association is not limited to engineers. Anyone in the city of Lawrence is eligible to membership. In fact the association desires to increase its membership as long as it can add the names of persons thoroughly interested in amateur telegraphy.
It may be of interest to know that since the shops opened a year ago all the casualties of any seriousness have been in the metal room, instead of the wood-working room where on account of buzz-saws and rapid turning lathes the accidents usually happen. Within the last year two persons have had fingers cut off. A short time ago Mr Dent had a large vein cut in the back of his hand and Mr Jones completes the list to date.
The only accident in the wood room is credited to Dr Naismith. He was turning something out of a piece of cord wood when the cord wood broke lice and went through the window. The serious part of the accident was that the doctor had to go out and dig his wood out of the snow.
The work now of the Juniors and a part of the Sophomores is steam engine engine. These engines are about fifteenhorse power engines. One of them is partly constructed and another will be begun soon.
The large engine was disabled last Tuesday by an eccentric getting hot. This accounts for the turning off the lights in the offices and corridors of the main building on last Tuesday. The engine is again in working order. This is the same engine that went through the fire at the old shops and was repaired by the employees of the shop, and put into the new shop. This is the first time it has given any trouble, and this certainly reflects some credit on the work of the employees who did the repairing.
Difficulty has been met with in arranging shop hours so as not to conflict with other studies. The shop has to run on Satur days to accommodate those who cannot take the work at other hours. There is not enough instructors in the drafting department.
Nebraska University will send her track team for the meet on the 26th of May. Meets with the S. I. Lakota University track team at Sioux City, Iowa, and with Missouri University at Columbia. are being arranged by Manager Gray.
Nine ex-University men are located in one building in Kansas City, the Water Works building.
Tomorrow the association service will be addressed by Prof. Templin on the subject "Habit." This talk should be heard by every man in the University; do not fail to attend, at North college, Sunday 2:30.

Y. M. C. A. NOTES.
The boys of the Y M C A House entertained Thursday evening in honor of W B Sutton who was in town on business
One of the most important meetings of the association will be that of Sunday, February 25 when Capt Haskell will speak. His subject is "General Principles in choosing a life work."
Mr. Haskell is well known on the hill as one thoroughly qualified to discuss this topic. Advice which comes to a young man has much more force when it is given by a man who has shown himself an expert. Many individual students have their lives wisely directed by words from this venerable sage, and a large audience should now take advantage of this opportunity to hear him upon so vital a subject.
A very successful social event occurred Friday evening when the Association received the Laws in honor of Judge Benson of Ottawa. The home of the Association at 1029 Kentucky Street was crowded with guests and a thoroughly pleasant evening was enjoyed. [Judges Benson and Martin] the guests of honor, spoke briefly in a very pleasing manner.
This address will inaugurate a series of life work addresses to be given by competent men in various lines of work. Among the topics to be discussed as far as possible will be "Science," "Law Teaching" "Business," "Ministry," "and Journalism." The importance of these services can scarcely be overestimated.
The Universal Day of Prayer for Colleges was observed in our association Sunday. The World's Student Christian Federation is now organized in twenty four different nations, including South America Africa, China, Japan, Ceylon, and Australia and now has a student membership of almost 50,000. Our local association is an integral part of this movement which is bringing Christianity in an aggressive form to the educated classes of every land.
An Editorial That Made a Man Famous.
The editorial, What's the Matter With Kansas? which gave to the Emporia Gazette its first impetus and -which was written by William Allen White, the author, was to a certain extent an accident.
Mr. White, who is only 13 years old now, had lately bought the gazette, after serving a long apprenticeship in editorial writing on various Kansas parcs. He left his town for Colorado, where his bridle was spending the summer. Before leaving he wrote this editorial and burg it on the copy hook. When he came back he found not only himself but his paper famous. The Republican National committee sent it out as a campaign document, and among the letters of commendation he received none was more valued than that from Speaker Reed which greeted him on his return from the west.
Mr. White, contrary to general belief, finds it more profitable to devote his time to his newspaper than to fiction. While he is a republican and has been offered political o fices, among which was the Emporia postoffice, which is worth $3,000 a year, he is a stickler for local reforms, and he has steadfastly declined to receive any money that he does not earn. He says the highest compliment that ever was paid to him was by an Emporia back driver who drove an eastern visitor from the station to the editor's house.
"Oh, he's all right, I guess. But he's trying to make this town too infernally good to live in."—Saturday Evening Post.
"How does Mr. White stand in Emporia?"
The Man With the Hoe.
The first edition of "The Man with the Hoe" and other poems published only last May already sells for double the original price. Even more valuable are copies of the San Francisco papers which originally printed and copyrighted Mr. Markhamg' famous poem; one of these papers was bought recently by a collector for $10.

Prof McClung has received a condenser of hi b power and an eye piece for his microscope. Both instruments were made especially for his use.
This week the Biological Club listened to a discussion on the "Evolution of Higher Plants" by Prof Stevens. Parts of the address dwell on the theories of the origin of life and the manner of structural modifications which cause difference of species. Illustrations were used.
The Graduate Club.
The attention of all graduate students is called to the meeting on next Wednesday at 5 p. m., in room 15. No one will deny the intense fascination of some special piece of work pursued continuously and exclusively.
Still the very absorption that results is a source of danger. False perspective almost invariably results if it is not checked, and false vision is not scientific. Also contact with our fellow workers is after all the richest source of inspiration. It is only a non-genius who can read valuable results in isolation.
The Graduate Students Club is an effort to partially at least, bring about a personal contact between the graduate students and should receive the support of each and every such student.
The State Oratorical contest has been held in Emporia twice, in 1889 and in 1891.

Whit; Eby, "The Hungarian Patriot; "College of Emporia, A P Barnett, "The Hero of Contention," the judges on thought and composition are W A Demmon of Ann Arbor, A W Sherman of the University of Nebraska, W Brockett of the University of Colorado. The orations are now in the hands of these men. The judges on delivery who were chosen several weeks ago are all unable to be present. The president of the Association, G V Keopf, is in trouble, but he is sure to have competent judges ready by next Friday night.
BURKE LITERARY SOCIETY.
At the last meeting, the regular program was dispensed with and every member delivered an address on the Philippine question. The society then chose the two best speakers to represent Burke in the preliminary for the Kansas-Missouri debate. Mr. Flint and Mr. Halcomb were selected.
Burke meets every Friday evening at 7:30 in the east Law room, Frazer ball. Visitors are always welcome.
Visitors are always welcome.

Y. W.C.A. NOTES
The regular meeting of the Y. W. C. A' on Wednesday afternoon was one of the most enjoyable which has been held this year. Maud Nodgleton led the meeting, the subject of which was 'The Angelus'. A short description of the artist Millet and his productions was given by Miss Leach, while Miss Hedgton made a study of the artists most famous picture in its two lights: that of the mere painting and that of the lesson derived from it. The meeting was concluded with the usual prayer and praise service.
The Y W C A meeting next week will be led by Miss Josephine March.
On Thursday of every Week Miss Henderson will conduct a class in Bible study on the Life of Christ. This class will be held at Prof, Olin's residence. It is hoped that many of the Y W girls will take advantage of this course of study.
The intercollegiate committee under Miss Nina Drake has some interesting work before it. Through this committee the Y W C A will be brought into touch with similar organizations of other colleges. Kansas and Nebraska will not only have a common interest in football but also in Y W C A.
Miss Henrietta Henderson, ex-president of the W Y C A, was made a member of the Sigma Xi fraternity at their last meeting. Miss Henderson deserves the honor bestowed upon her, and has the heartiest congratulations of her W Y C A friends.
The social committee of the Y W C J have entered upon their new work with enthusiasm. Several social functions have been planned for the coming term, the first of which will occur at Mrs. Bailey's this afternoon.
The second meeting of the Deaconess Circle was held on last Monday afternoon at room 5. Miss Augusta Hall gave a very entertaining talk upon the history of the work. She told of its organization, traced its growth in the different lands and concluded with an account of the work being done now in Chicago, Kansas City and other large cities of America. The meetings of this Deaconess Circle promises to be very interesting. The members will be kept in touch with the work by Mrs. Rider Meyer, head of this movement in America, and will also do some practical work on the line. All who are interested in this cause are urged to attend the meetings which will be held on the first Monday of every week.
The Y M C A and W Y C A will entertain the members of the family and the seniors at the Y M C A house on February 22.
The philanthropic committee has arranged a party for the poor children of the industrial school for Saturday, the 24th.
The Philanthropic committee of the Y W C A met with the Associated Charitates of this city on last Tuesday evening. The University committee will work with the city organization during the coming year. In addition to assisting in the sewing, cooking and kindergarten departments of the mutual training school, the young ladies of the committee will make visits among the poor of the city. This is a difficult work and a very creditable one.
Eight new members were taken into the Y. W. C. A. at their last meeting.
The Quill club mettween last week, on Monday and Thursday afternoons at 4 o'clock. After a short business meeting at which it was decided to change the time of regular meeting from Monday to Thursday. Ed S. Lindsay read a thesis on Dean Wen Howells and his works. Miss May Hotchkiss Spencer, A.B., '94, LL.B., '68, was then introduced to the club. She explained to the club the proposition to found an alumni magazine in Kansas University, and invited the members to cooperate with and assist the management to maintain the department which will be devoted to University affairs. At the meeting on Thursday Miss Elizabeth Sellars read a short story.
