WORTH WORKING FOR
THE BRYAN ESSAY PRIZE TO BE AWARDED DURING COMMENCEMENT WEEK.
"THE COST OF WAR."
The Announcement Concerning the Bryan an Essay Prize Has Been Posted on the Bulletin Board Near the Door of the Chancellor's Office.
For the encouragement of literary effort and interest in questions of National interest. Mr.W.J. Bryan when in Lawrence two years ago donated $225 to the University. This money was placed in the hands of three trustees and put out at interest the increment to be offered annually as an essay prize.
Under the careful supervision of the trustees, Professors Hopkins, Holder, and Dunlap, the interest this year will amount to about $20.
In comparison with older State Universities K. U. offers very few scholarships, prizes, etc., for the reason the contest, or the Brvan prize will have added interest.
The list of names in charge assures us that the contest will be impartial and decided purely upon the merits of the production. A great many will be able to enter an essay contest who would, be hand-capped in debate and oratory, both in time conumed in committing the production to me mory and expense of drill in rendering it. On the other haud, ability to think and present the thought, in a clear logical manner will be put to a sharper test.
Out side of the mere reward, which is a generous one and worth working for, the honor in having presented a winning essay in a University contest is considerable.
The subject is broad, and can be treated in whatever phase the contest desires. The length must be between three and ten thousand words. Productions must be handed in by the rst of May.
Eighteenth century Literature.
There will be some further modification of the course in eighteenth century literature this year. The first eight weeks will be given to the history of English literature in the eighteenth century, Gosse being used as the text-book accompanied by the pamphlet of questions. Special lectures on the chief writers will be given each week. The rest of the term will be given up to the study of poetry, its elements, forms, and metrical structure. In connection with this part of the work, selections will be read from poetry of all periods, including some recent poems of general interest. The text for the work in poetry will be Pancoast's Standard English Poems. Gummere's Handbook of Poetics, though not required, is strongly recommended as a book of reference.
All Scphomores are eligible to the work. Freshmen with three years of entrance English may be admitted if they can satisfy the instructor that they are able to do the work. Freshmen, however, are advised to wait till the Scphomore year,—H. F. Jones.
Forget your exams, forget your name even forget the address of your hash house, but remember the "Jollification" Friday evening, January 26, in Library hall.
Everybody come, faculty and Freshmen,
Sophs and Seniors, male and female, and
make it an enthusiastic time.
Post Exam Jubilee.
The Fowler shops have been the recipient of a number of donations the past week, among which are two valuable collections of blue prints, one from the Baldwin Locomotive works and the other from the Babcock & Wilcox Bollier Co.
The Westinghouse Brake company has given the mechanical engineering laboratory a semiforge gauge.
The only other donation by this company has been to the school of railway engineering at Purdue, Indiana.
The Buckeye Malcable Iron works of Columbus, Ohio, has given to the mechanical laboratory a set of the new patent car couplers.
Donations to Fowler Shops.
SEMINARY OF ECONOMICS AND SOCILOGY.
Colorado College has organized a Golf club.
The Seminary of Economics and Sociology met last Tuesday afternoon in Fraser hall, with but a very small attendance. Prof. Cone, in the absence of Prof. Blackmar, conducted the meeting. The first paper read was a report by Mr. Scholer upon The American Economic Ass. Publication of March 1999, which is series of essays upon the subject of the Federal Census. The report brought out the criticisms found in the essays upon the scope and methods of the eleventh census, and summed up the suggested improvements to be of use in the next census.
Mr Overlander next read a review upon the subject of the Growth of American Commerce, and traced the beginning, early in the century, of the complex system of domestic and foreign exchange to the great results of the present day. He showed the effects which war, tariffs, free trade, legislation prosperity and depression have had upon it, and gave data of the relative gains and losses in conservative periods of our history.
it is bored that her or forth more interest will be taken in the secondary and that its a success which can be irradiated only by active interest of all members, will not be prevented through the neglect of a part for its independent research and free discussion with them a benefit for the students of its branches unattained in any other way.
AMUSEMENTS.
HOYT S "A STRANGER IN NEW YORK
Some how there is an unnameable strength in the Hoyt trade mark which appeals to the most fashionable as well as to the masses. This fact is very forcibly demonstrated by the enormous demand for seats for the engagement of Hoyt's "A Stranger in New York" at the opera house next Tuesday evening. "A Stranger in New York" is reported as being this popular author's greatest work, and as at money maker it has compled all record, even surpassing the record of his famous "A Trip to Chinatown." This successful comedy comes to us this time in almost entire new garb. Every part of the music as well as the specialties is new, and best of all the scenery and stage accessories are said to be the most exavagant ever seen on a comedy stage.
Hoyt's latest and best comedie effort A Stranger in New York" comes to / the Bowersock opera house on Tuesday evening, January 3rd. The record of this great comedy is unprecedented. Its engagements of thirty weeks in New York, first at the Garrick and then at Hoyt's theatre, were remarkably successful. At present it is being presented by three Hoyt companies: the American company, which will be seen at the Bowersock opera house on Tuesday evening, the English company now touring the provinces, and the third playing at the Princess theatre at Sydney, Australia. Of all the plays that Mr. Hoyt has presented to the stage none has proven a greater drawing card or become more universally popular than this his masterpiece. In the cast will be seen Paul F. Nicholson, Jr., who was the hit of the "Alice - celson OperaCompany" the past season. Among the talented dancers areHooker and Davies. MaBelle Lavies is the acknowledged female dancer of the world, and Charles Hooker as a trick dancer is in a class by himself. The singing element of the company is in the hands of Harry Rogers, who created the part of I. Collier Down with the original company, and George Tallman, Douglas Flint, Sydney Grant, Tom Martin, Gract Norton, Sadie Kirby Marie Denbl, Charlotte and Bell Darling.
Mr. Frank Ruffie, an old University friend of the editor of the Register has been visiting him yesterday and today. Mr. Riffle graduated from the University twenty years ago and started in life without a collar that he had not earned himself. He is now manager and part owner of the Wolff & Zwicker Iron Works of Portland, Oregon, next to the Union Iron Works of San Francisco, the largest ship building concern on the Pacific coast. His firm is just completing a torpedo boat destroyer for the government and other big contracts. Mr. Riffle returned to Lawrence today and will start to Portland the latter part of the week.—Iola Register

BASE BALL PROSPECTS
IS UNUSUALLY GOOD-EIGHT OLD MEN BACK AND A LOT OF NEW MATERIAL.
A GOOD SCHEDULE IS PROMISSED
Including Games With the Blues, Missouri, Nebraska, and a Possible Trip East Besides Local Games.
Captain Frank Parent is happy over the base ball prospects for 1900. There are eight old men back among whom are Barnett, Housh, Moore, Hall, Poorman, Frebert and Parent. There are about thirty other men trying for places on the team. Many of them are old base ball men and are taking a deep interest in the team. Where the Varsity was weakest last year was in the box. It now seems that this will be overcome for there are already five men entered for this position. Among them are Hall, Pray Stanley, Malbtry and Allpine. Wade Moore, the head catcher of last year, will hold the same place this year. The team will be coached early in the season by Dale Gear of the Kansas City Blues.
Manager Nichols has not yet effected a permanent schedule but the 'Varsity will have two games with the Blues early in the season, a game and return with Nebraska and with Missouri and possibly a trip to Illinois and Indiana when the 'Varsity will meet the 'Varsity teams of those states and possibly other teams.
those these games there will be Besides these games there will be the usual state league games with Baker, Ottawa. Washburn and micellaneous,games with schools in the state that do not belong to the league.
Practically on the places on the team are to be filled. Captain Parent is working hard to bring men out just as often as the weather permits. If the fellows do the right kind of practicing early in the season and stick to it the 'Varsity can have a winning team this year.
The Adelph c.
The first feature of the program was the in augural address of Pres. Pownull, which was full of good ideas and suggestive hints, as to how the success of the society might be increased and its members correspondingly benefited.
The Adelphic Society held a very interesting session on the evening of January 12 and it enites upon the new year with every prospect of success.
The other officers elect then took the cath of office and the program was rendered.
Mr. Gillen spoke upon the rights of congress to expel a member. His talk showed that he had given some thought to the question and then followed an amusing solilqy by Mr. Vinton.
The question resolved, that the University should maintain a business course was thoroughly discussed, and decided for the negative side, which was upheld by Mr. Murphy and Mr. Mowery.
The program for Jan. 19 follows:

SNOW HALL NOTES.
.
Mr. E. H. Sellards has been detained in his room during the last week nursing a sore throat.
Miss Weeks took up her work again Tuesday.
J W. Beede of Eiflingham came down last Saturday to bring the manuscript for the next volume of the Geological survey. His subject is "Carboniferous Invertebrates." Mr. Beede received a nice Christmas present, a handsome mate who will prepare his lunches in future.
The instruments for dissecting arrived Thursday. The store also received a on-signment of goods.
Prof. Stevens has had a large electric arc light put in his laboratory. The brightness in his room only serves to emphasize the darkness of the rest of the building.
The entomological department has received 2,000 specimens from the Iowa experimental station for identification. The privilege is given the department to keep all the specimens desired. A number of fine specimens were also obtained from Mr. E. Brown's father, an enthusiastic entomologist. These specimens were from his private collection and had never before been found north of Texas. Prof. Kahl feels justly proud of these valuable additions to the museum.
The manikin from Paris arrived Thursday morning. It consists of 2,000 pieces and was secured for $1,100, but its usual price is much greater; there was no duty on it.
Dr. Williston lectured to the Zoology I class on Wednesday in the "Relation of Living and Fossil Forms." Next week Prof. Dyche will lecture on the "Distribution of Animals." Prof. McClung who has charge of the class is making the course as broad and general as possible, which is much appreciated by many of the students who want only a general knowledge of the subject and dont desire to specialize.
Dr. S. W. Williston has received an invitation from Prof. Gaudry, one of the directors of the Paris exposition, to attend the international congress of geologists which will meet in Paris next summer.
The physiology department has received a complete set of physiological journals consisting of seventy bound volumes. These books were purchased in Germany from the library of Prof. Eimer of Tubingen and are very valuable.
The first of the series of "Life-Work Meetings" in the Y, M. C. A. is postponed from Jan. 28 to Feb. 18.
