K. U. BOY IN AFRICA
A. S. O'Connor Writes an Interesting Letter to Lawrence Friends.
Here are some excerpts from a letter to A. S, O'Codnor wrote to a Lawrence acquaintance. It was written at Salisbury, South Africa, Oct. 16, and was about six weeks on the road. "If you are an artisan you are sure to do well in South Africa. Otherwise you take your chances. You may do well and you may not. I should say brick makers get as good pay as any. A good brick maker can easily command two 'quid'—$10, per day. It is about the best trade in Salisbury, as there are not enough good workmen to supply the demand. Buildings are invariably of brick or stone, there being no base buildings. Carpenters in Cape Town-goet 14 shillings per day while in Mashonaland their pay ranges from 30 to 40 shillings per day.
They don't ask you what school you graduated from down here. There is not a school of any sort in Salisbury or Neutali. If you are a salesman and can tear off giagham by the yard or otherwise you can get work. Americans, however, are usually handicapped in not having the English money system down fine. One needs a lot of recommendations too. They are always called for and are given more weight than in the U. S.
South America is a queer country and has been called the grave of lost reputations. Here you will find the nobleman from the continent chumming with any malenl. If death levels all ranks so does the veld. The best hotel accommodations in Salisbury come at 40 "quid" ($200) a month and would be considered third grade in any other country. The rough ways of living make men reckless. In the majority of cases they become rolling stones without much stability. If a young man has pluck and energy he will do about as well in the United States as anywhere else. He can make more money here but it will cost him so much to live that there is not much difference.
I just returned from a two month's trip with a transportation train. My wages were 30 "quid" per month. Two days before we reached Salisbury I had the good fortune to shoot a roebuck which I sold to one of the hotels for 10 "quid" ($50.)

Outland is Elected Captain of the Pennsylvania Team.
"Kansas—Outland and McCracken—saved the day."
This is the way the Philadelphia Press speaks of the work done by the Kansas boys in the Cornell Pennsylvania game. Outland made a run of twenty-eight yards, the longest run of the game, and McCracken made the touchdown which saved the day and left "mighty Pennsy" undefeated for the season.
After the game Outland was chosen captain.
Johnie Outland played half back on the Kansas team of 95. He was the star player of the season. Going to Pennsylvania the next year he played on the scrubs. This season he has been doing brilliant work as right guard on the 'Varsity. Coach Woodruff, of Pennsylvania, speaks of Outland as a cool "heady" player, well fitted for captain of the champions.

A PIPE ORGAN
Satisfaction Guaranteed. 812 Mass. St.
IT WAS SHIPPED A WEEK AGO AND
IS EXPECTED ON ANY
AT LAST.
TRAIN.
A Representative of the Organ Firm is Here to Set the Instrument Up—
The doubles of the most ardent doubter must now be dispelled. The dismal croaks of the most industrious croaker will be heard no more. Instead of them will come the deep, grand triumphant tones of the pipe organ, for it has now been completed, after five months spent by the firm of Wm. King & Sons, of Elmira, New York, in perfecting the construction, and was shipped a week ago. It is expected any day now on any train.
Mr. Edward P. King arrived Friday to superintend the setting up of the instrument. A reporter for the WEEKLY found him in consultation with Prof. Blake regarding the electrical appliances, and some interesting facts were gleaned about the new organ.
The organ which will be in place by the 25th of this month, will not only be the largest in the state, but by far the most modern and complete in every way. It has an adjustable combination pedal action, and is the first organ to be constructed on this improved design. Instead of the old-styled locking pedal, a system of electric switch pins is used which locks the combination on each pedal, and, at the same time shows the organist just what com-combination he has prepared. The crescendo pedal action is also designed on an entirely new plan.
The electric action is so arranged that the keyboard, which is in a movable console or case, can be played fifty feet distance from the organ. The keyboards consists of three "manuals" or rows of keys, of sixty-one notes each. Each key is connected with the pipes and wind chest of the organ by means of a fine electric wire no larger than a number sixty thread. There will be thirty-two stops, twelve pedal movements, all double acting, and six couplers, all of which, like the keys of the three "manuals," having special wires running to the instrument, all the wires being bound together in a fifty-foot cable, one and one-half inches in diameter.
The regulator has a lever connected with the bellows which is raised and lowered according to the inflation and deflation. The controller is enclosed in slate, so that there is no danger from fires
The electric motor for running the organ, which is being put up by Prof. Blake, is a thing of beauty and effectiveness. It was made especially for the organ by the Elektron company of Springfield, Mass. It consists of a motor and automatic regulator designed to run noiselessly and vary its speed according to the power required of it. The regulator is adjusted by the quantity of air in the wind chest, the organist paying no attention to the motor, as the drawing of a single stop starts it, and then it regulates itself.
The case of the organ is of oak, and extends 8 feet above the stage, the entire height of the instrument being 25 feet, and the front display of pipes likewise 25 feet in width.
Everything is in preparation now for the reception of our long expected pipe organ. This morning 'Nate' rushed into the WEEKLY office in a state of great excitement. "I'm takin' up the old carpet on the stage," said he, "and the new one's bein' cut. That organ am a'-coming shore!"
Reports of the various high schools of the state are rapidly coming into the register's office, about one hundred having come in up to the present time. The desire among the high schools of the state to connect with the University seems to be more general than usual. This desire is not confined to the state for a request has come from one high school in far off Mississippi, asking for information about the University.
Even Far off Mississippi.
Prof. Adams' class in Institutions is just now enjoying the luxury of oral examinations, each member of the class taking his turn, as determined by lot, of occupying the chair for half an hour and being quizzed by the rest of the class, the Professor also occasionally taking a turn at asking questions.
A Quiz Experiment.
From all indications this form of quiz appears to be popular as each one hopes that he shall be the next to occupy the chair.

after the family gathering retires from the dinner table, will be something to be remembered if the singing is accompanied by a Russell piano. Its melody is so rich and pure that a Russell piano is coveted by all layers of good music. The ebony, mahogany or antique teak cases make the love lock rich and hardome.

--a favor so far out of your line of business.
I wish to pitch ball for some college team next spring so I can take shorthand and typewriting. Now if you will kindly hand this to the person whom you think is liable to have charge of the college team next season you will do a great favor. Then if he wishes to engage me after I have given the necessary proof of my ability as a ball player I will gladly come to Lawrence and play with your college team next season that is if his inducements are anything like encouraging.

A West Virginia;Lad Looks Out for the Main Chance.
HERE'S A SPECIMEN.
W. D. Curtis, an ambitious West Virginia lad, has a queer idea of amateur athletics. He wants to "pitch ball" for an education. Apparently he has not heard of the stringent rules adopted by the university of Kansas to keep athletics pure.
Curtis had a laudable ambition to take "short-hand and typewriting." He preferred to take them at a university rather than at a business college. He wanted to play ball, too, that is, if the inducements were "anything like encouraging." He knew how to use his curves, so he sat down and wrote to Chancellor Snow, with an offer of his services.
ELKINS, W.Va., Nov. 27, 97.
President University, Lawrence, Kansas.
DRAR Sir: Please forgive the liberty I am taking by writing you a letter to do me a foresight for out of your line, of business.
I have several flattering offers for next season, but as I don't want to play professional ball I have declined all I played on a salary this past season and done great work for the team, which was an independent amateur team. I pitched twenty-four games, won twenty-two, tied one and lost one.
Please hand this to the person mentioned,
and if he cares to know of me, I will gladly send him newspaper clippings of my work for the past season.
Please give this a moments attention. I shall appreciate,it very much, and at any time, should I be able. I will gladly return all favors done
Yours very truly,
W. D. CURTIS,
West, Virginia.
Chancellor Snow has not yet answered the letter. He has not had time to give it "a moment's attention." In the meantime if any other university of typewriting and short hand desires a base ball "phenom," he may perhaps still be found at Elkins, West Virginia.
Portions of a Letter From Prof. Engel.
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. Oct. 24 and Nov. 10.
Owing to some conflicts and other cir-
cumstances over which I had no control,
my work is not exactly as we had planned
before I left. Prof. Francie is not giving
the seminary course in Faust, and instead
I have been taking the Romantic school
this term, and will take the German drama
next term. My other courses are general
history of German literature with Prof.
Francie, history of the German language
and middle high German with Prof. Von
lagermann and Germanic mythology with
Prof. Kitteridge five courses altogether,
with fourteen hours' recitation a week.
I am now fairly started in all of them, and
I am almost lost in the interest I take in
them. There is no end to the work which
I have the privilege of doing, and I call
you I am improving the time. None of
the professors are stingy in their assignments
and consequently we are kept in

close touch with our books. Prof Francke especially seems to have an exalted opinion of the ability of his students. Besides our regular daily reading we are to write in one course the first monthly thesis on "The Chivalrous Elements in Triston in Isole," and in the other a final thesis on "The Romantic Elements of Heine as compared with those of Novalis, Tieck or Schlegel." As a basis for the latter we are to read Heine's works complete and to this end each of us has ordered an Elster edition, seven volumes. In the language course we are given philosophical and etymological problems to solve three days a week. In mythology we are to read ad libitum in Grimm, Mogk and Meyer. This will give you an idea of the scope and direction of my work. As to the intellectual stock and accretion which I will get time will tell. I am, however, taking your advice by appropriating some of the benefits coming from residence in a large and especially a New England city. I have already heard Joe Jefferson, Rip Van Winkle, Fanny Davenport in her new play "A Soldier of France," and the renowned Sousa and his great band. I have visited many of the historic spots in Boston and Cambridge and very soon we, Messenger and I, are going to Lexington and Concord on our wheels. We have also invested in a kodak and are going to take snap-shots of the sights and views which we care to keep. I thus combine recreation and diversion with a very valuable education. When I stop to think of all there is here for me to get in the short space of one year I feel as though I should like to multiply my capacity. In fact it is hard for me to realize that I am actually here carrying out the plan that I have had for five years.
My reception here has been very pleasant and my acquaintances have been most agreeable. My instructors are all an inspiration to me and I have the profoundest respect and admiration for them. Francke is the most enthusiastic and to me the most cordial. I was at his house a few evenings ago and was made to feel very much at home. Kittredge is a scholar and the learning he shows in the treatment of the course is wonderful. Von Jagemann's accuracy and reliability are excellent qualities to come in contact with. On the whole the three supplement each other admirably and as a result place before me a most exalted ideal."
Gratefully yours,
