STARTLING DISCOVERY.
A Disgraceful Combine Existing Adelphie.
When Adelphic Literary Society was founded it was hoped that the University would now have a society free from the evil effects of combinations; it was hoped that a literary society had at last been established that would live as long as the institution lives an honor to the University and an honor to its members. But it appears that these hopes were not well founded. After ironclad agreements a disgraceful combine has just been discovered. Its unfairness surpasses that of any combine which ever disgraced history of Oread, Orophilian or Athenaeum. It has been learned from good authority that a combination has been in existence since the founding of the society between the members of Excelsior Debating Club and a few prominent barbs. They propose to capture the principal offices and honors and dictate the policy of the society.
The first election is only a sample of what this combine will do in the future.
President of Adelphic-G. Overtree member of Excelsior club.
Vice-President of Adelphic -C.
P. Chapman, member of Excelsior club.
Critic of Adelphic—Hervy White member of Excelsior club.
Chairman of the Executive Committee—Hervy White member of Excelsior.
The other members of the Executive Committee are Riggs and Hall who are supposed to be in the combine.
By this can be seen how well they accomplished their purpose. It does not reflect any credit on those persons who induced a large number of barbs to join Adelphic under the pretense that it would be free from combines that they have pursued this disgraceful policy so soon after its founding. That this combine has been formed should be a source of regret to the members of Adelphic who do not belong to the combine and to those who do a disgrace. DETECTIVE.
Respectfully referred to the consideration of the Hesperian and Occident.—Ed.

Science Club.
The Science Club was very much disappointed last Friday night for an account of sickness of Prof. Martin could not give the second installment of his paper on methods of book illustration, but a very pleasant and profitable session was held in spite of it. The President, P.A. Williamson read an account of the "Panama Canal and its projector Mr De Lesseps." He compared the canal with the Suez and showed the greater difficulties in the way of the construction of the American canal. The Nicaragua route was brought before the Canal Congress held in Paris to select the best location but the congress was largely composed of De Lesseps' partisans who would not agree to anything but a sea level canal such as De Lesseps proposed to construct at Panama. The French engineers have paid the penalty of the prejudice now for the Panama company are not even able to construct a canal with locks and an American company has a ready commenced work at Nicaragua. Mr. Williamson will continue the same subject in a subsequent paper. Mr. McMurtray gave a report on recent electrical discoveries, a field which always affords interesting news, no matter how often it is drawn upon, no more meetings will be held this year but the new year will be opened by a Science Clnb entertainment given the first Friday after school opens. Each department will contribute something of interest and importance illustrated by experiment or by the electric stereopt con, and the entertainment will close with a "Summer in Estes Park" illustrated by lantern shades prepared from the photographs taken by the Colorado party.
No admission will be admitted except on invitation by the club. Each member will have the privilege of inviting four friends.

THE COLLEGE WIDOW.
How She Lost Her Grip on the Seniors and Sophomores.
He turned sternly from the slight, quivering figure, convulsed with sobs, and, leaning his elbow on the mantlepiece, gazed darkly into the empty grate.
"Then it is true," he said, as the frown deepened on his brow.
"Forgive me!" she sobbed, rocking to and fro in her grief and abasement.
"But you told me you had never loved before—that no man had ever stirred your heart."
"Not as I loved you," she cried, wildly.
"And yet you admit that you were engaged to Ferguson, of the class of 877"
"And that before that you had an understanding with Williamson of '86?"
"Yes," she murmured.
"And with Graham of '85?"
"Yes."
"No, no," she cried. "not with him; with both his brothers in the Sheffield Scientific, but not with him."
"But you were engaged to Sandiman of '85?" he went on referring to a letter in his hand.
"Can you not forgive me?" she pleaded.
"I could, Clara," he said, after a pause. "I believe I could bring myself to it if that was all. But you were also engaged to McHaffy of '84?"
"Ah!" she cried, feebly. "do not spare me from you"
"What have you to say for yourself?" he demanded, harsely. "Speak womans!"
"Ah, George," she said, "you little know the exigencies of a young girl's life in a college town."
For an instant he hesitated, as if his bet'er nature moved him, and then he turned toward the door.
"Farewell!" he said. and walked rapidly away. In another second the street door clashed behind him.
With one heart-breaking cry the girl flung herself on her knees and buried her face in the cushions of the parlor sofa.
"All is over," she cried, brokenly.
"He was my 'ast hold. Henceforth I am reduced to freshmen]"—N. Y. Sun.

The vaccine virus, used to produce what we call "vaccination," is obtained by shaving the belly of a young milch cow, or even a calf. After the shaving process has been accomplished to the satisfaction of the operator, the skin is scarified and the wound inoculated with the virus from an animal already in use. A sore is thus produced without injury to the beast. After about a week or ten days a kind of matter begins to flow from the abrasion; this is the vaccine virus used by the surgeons. Goose quills, which have been scraped with a knife so as to present a rough surface, are rubbed in the fluid—not filled with it as some suppose. From 1,000 to 10,000 quills, varying with the different animals, are thus provided with virus from a single abrasion on a cow's belly. If you should closely examine one of these quills after it has been "medicated" you would be unable to detect anything wrong with it. The blood from the scar on the arm molests the virus and causes it to have the desired effect—St. Louis Republic.
How Vaccine Virus Is Obtained.
