The Athletic Association.
In the language of Longfellow, "This is the association primeval." Few students seem to realize the noble work that is being done by this organization. It does not open its meetings with a brass band or a double-stringed orchestra, but it has done its work peacefully, quietly and gently. At first many were inclined to look upon this in a light, not at all serious. Some thought it was only a joke. They could not realize that K. S. U. could support an Athletic Association. But life is full of surprises, and those who at first turned their noses heavenward now look on with astonishment and amazement. And well they may. For now they have in their very midst a real, sure-enough, genuine, prosperous and prospering Athletic Association. It is true we have no gymnasium, it is true that we wouldn't know where to put it if we have one; it is true we have not much apparatus, but we have the Association. Let us kneel down and with faces turned toward Mount Oread, give honor to whom honor is due.
In after years, when a magnificent building shall grace our campus, at the front of which a life size statue of Sullivan will beckon the visitors inward, then will the labor of that little band of students, who gathered in the chapel a few weeks ago, be truly appreciated. They are the pioneers. So far the affairs of state have been managed in a most statesman like manner. The officers have been elected without contest, being chosen solely on account of their athletic qualifications. And a fine body of broad-chested, hard-muscled, brawny men they are of large statue and graceful carriage. The only physical training which has yet been given by the association, has been devoted to a higher development of the tongue and larynx. This has been accomplished in the various discussion over the appropriations to be asked for. But for fear of keeping the readers of the TIMES in suspense, we would say that the motion asking the legislation for a gymnasium was passed, so our gymnasium is assured. The building will probably not be commenced until spring. Until then the association will not have much to do. The members, of course, are expected to keep up some kind of gymnastic practice in their respective rooms.
The President has one Indian club, the Treasurer has three boxing gloves, and the Executive Committee are thinking of purchasing, at their own expense, a pair of roller skates. While the Association realizes that this apparatus is not as complete as it might be, still it is a good beginning. As was said by one of the members at the last meeting, who has quite a taste for literature, that sometimes "little acorns fall from great oaks," or something to that effect.
The officers are now in constant telegraphic, telephonic, and postal-cardic communication with Topeka. The present out-look is, that the gymnasium question will cut quite a figure in both the House and Senate. The Democrats in the Legislature are solidly for it, but the Republicans seem to be divided. If, when the bill is taken there seems to be any doubt as to its passage, the successful orator at our contest, Mr. — , will be sent up to plead its cause. Several members of the Association will also probably accompany him and illustrate his speech, as he proceeds, by boxing, skinning the cat, ringing dumb bells, etc. After such an oratorical and athletic effort combined, there is no doubt but what the bill will be unanimously passed. As we said before, our gymnasium, with a big G, is assured.
Mr. Editor, as you see, I am somewhat of an enthusiast on this gymnasium and athletic business. I am not much of a writer, but I am a No.1 Athlete. I have not been a member of the Association very long but I am going to do what I can to boom it from now on.
As THE TIMES is a student's paper, I hope to see this published. If you will let me have some more space in another issue, I will describe the kind of a building, we Association fellows are going to put up soon. PUGLIST.

Orophilian--Athanaeum.
These two societies will meet to night and a leviathan debate will be one of the leading features of the evening. Both societies are in a flourishing condition and have been so for some time. Orophilian will be represented by some of the most competent and advanced students of the University. The literary spirit has greatly revived in this society so much so that the success of this meeting is fully ensured.
Athenaeum has also received an impetus from the energetic efforts of its newly added members. This society has met with so great success that its first first members and founders are justly pround of Athenaeum, the result of their labors. The meeting will be held in Athenaeum hall.
The following program will be rendered.
Essay ... H. White
Recitation ... Miss Vora Newlwin
Oration ... E. M. Mumford

Frank Marshall Burned.
Oratory at Washburn.
Last evening as the Christmas festivities were at their height at the residence of F. A. Marshall, 316 Seneca street, Frank, who was personating Santa Claus and was completely covered with cotton, caught fire and was instantly enveloped in flames, which, before they could be smothered was severely burned about the hands, face and neck. Dr. Callahan was called and dressed the injuries. He is, to day, resting as casily as could be expected.—Leavenworth Times.
Frank Marshall lis an old K. S. U. boy and has a host of friends here, who join in sympathy with him in his misfortune. Frank has made a reputation as a poet and is enrolled among the long list of the literary man of the University.
At the local oratorical contest of Washburn College, last Friday evening, A.W. Brewster carried off in triumph, the palm of victory. His oration, "Progress and its Causes," was well written and ably delivered, and if he improves any by constant hard study, he will make the other representatives at the State contest rustle or he will represent the State of Kansas at Iowa City next May.
S. W. Naylor deserved a better mark than he received, and was the favorite of the evening.
"Our Republic," delivered by Robert Stone, won the second place.
S. B. Moyer and C. P. Donnell did credit to themselves and to the College. All in all, the contest was a good one and the result was generally satisfactory.
The Capital Commonewealth, speaking of the contest, says: "Brewster is a natural bern orator," which is not very far from the truth.
Coming Again.
IN HIS NEW PLAY.
The N. Y. Press says.
Mr. Charles L. Davis' (Alvin Joslin) new play, "One of the Old Stock," was given for the first time before a New York audience at the Windsor theatre last night. A full house greeted the venture and pronounced it a success—a howling success, it may be said, for the applause assumed those proportions at times. Mr. Davis, in the leading role, needs no further praise than to say that he is the same old Alvin whom so many theatre goers have admired and applauded on former occasions. Mr. Charles Stedman, as Toby Tightpenny, an old miser was perfect, and Mr. Daniel Jarrett, Arthur Cook, William Robinson, Miss Connie Thompson, Miss Rizzie Masters and May Briscoe, the horineperformed their roles in an excellent manner. The principal scenes are laid in Burlington, Vt., and treat mostly of home incidents in New England life. Alvin Joslin is in the hands of Toby Tightpenny, who in addition to securing a mortgage on the old homestead, conspires to rot him, and does so by murdering a messenger who has Alvin's money on his person. Suspicion rests on Alvin Joslin and he is arrested. In the meantime his daughter elopes with Hiram Hawver, a man who was tempted but finally proved true, and through his instrumentality the real murder is discovered and everything is made happy. The plot is a good one and cannot be given justice in these few lines. 'One of the Old Stock' is destined to prove a greater success than any of Mr. Davis' previous productions.
At the opera house next Tuesday even Seats on sale at Crew & Co's Monday morning.
Unity Club.
The plan of holding the meetings of Unity Club on Monday evening instead of Friday is a success so far. At the first meeting last Monday in the "Literature" part of the program, Prof. Marsh gave a very interesting lecture upon Wordsworth. The Professor, however, did not confine himself to this author but talked upon literature in general and authors contemporary with Wordsworth. He also read several choice selections from Wordsworth's poems.
This was followed by an excellent rendering of the well known English farce, "Box and Cox." The parts of Box and Cox were taked by John and Russell Whitman while Hunt Gardner made a very creditable old lady.
Johnson-Merrifield.
Miss Clara Merrifield, a last year's University student, was married at her home at Abilene, on December 30th, to Wm. Johnson, also of that city. Miss Merrifield was an exceedingly bright student at K.S.U. and made a host of friends here who join the Times in extending congratulations to the happy young people and wish them a long and prosperous life.
Paola Times: J. B. Lippincott, who is one of the surveyors on the Kansas City and Pacific left, yesterday for Parsons. Mr. Lippincott is a son of the Chancellor of the State University and is an exceedingly bright young man. He is a personal friend of Harvey M. Bear of Paola.
Mrs. C. A. Gleed came to this city from Vermont, a widow, when her two sons, Charles and Willis, were mere children, and here the family resided until their removal to Topeka, in 1883. She never lost her interest in Lawrence and Lawrence people, however—looking back to the city as "home" till the very last, and she has always had a firm hold on the effectuation regard of a large circle of personal friends. She had an unusually bright mind, was patient and planning, but often physical, mental and suffering, and possessed strong attractions for young and old alike. Her courage and hopefulness under many trials were unusual. In strong common sense, in quick perceptions and shrewd insight, in forcible and quaint expression, and in nimbleness of wit she was a typical New Englander.
Death of Mrs. Gleed.
A telegram from Professor J. Willis Glieed, received yesterday, announces the peaceful death of his mother, last evening, at Pueblo, Colorado. The news was scarcely a surprise to the many friends of the family in this city, as it had been known for some time that the end was near.
Her loss will be keenly felt by a wide circle in our city, and especially by the older members of Plymouth church, of which organization she was a member. But then blow falls with peculiar force on her sons who were devoted to her, and her sisters who were of whom she said "They are my daughters indeed." The heartfelt sympathy of this entire community is with them in this hour of trial.
Just as the Tribuhe goes to press a telegram is received stating that the funeral will be in this city on Sunday, the hour not yet determined. Tribune.

During the evening an elegant supper was served. It is such occasions as this one such entertainers as Miss Morris the make vacations enjoyable and give spic to student life. Those present were:
New Literary Society.
There will be a non-fraternity literary society organized at some time in the near future. It will probably hold its meeting Saturday evening in a hall secured for that purpose. The society though a stricty non-fraternity organization will be in no wise aggressive. The entertainment will be both social and literary. The society starts out with flattering prospects, and the best wishes of the Times attend it.
AMUSEMENTS.
LOVETT & JOHNSON'S PARADOX
Lovett & Johnson's exhibition of trained dogs and ponies drew out a big house at the Crawford last night. These animals accomplish some rare feats and are wonderfully trained. It is an exhibition that every boy and girl in Toppe should see. -Capital-Commonwealth.
At the opera house Saturday evening.
We are pleased to note that another Literary Society is to be added to our already large number. We understand that one of a new pattern is organized. The newness of it is its qualification to membership. The first meeting is to be held in the Court House to-morrow night, at 7:30. The Palladium Literary Society, as it is called, promises a good program, which is as follows: Declamation, J.W. Gleason; Reading, R. Blackman; Essay, J. S. Workman; Declamation, M. St. John; Oration, S. Hunt; Debate, Resolved, that the elective franchise should not be extended to morrow. Affirmative, H.C. Riggs, G.W. Austin; Negative, N.C. Null, T.A.O'Leary.

Six Grounds on Which Its Use Is Advocated by Architects.
PAPER FOR BUILDING.
The use of paper fabric for building purposes—by the term paper being meant, broadly, a flexible sheet made of vegetable or other fiber, which has been reduced to a pulp, and then pressed out and spread and dried—is now advocated by some builders on the following grounds: First, continuity of surface; that is, it can be made in rolls of almost any width and length, is flexible, or, by gluing several layers together, may be made stiff, and will stop the passage of air, because there are no joints. Second, it has no grain like wood, and will not split. Third, it is not affected by change of temperature, and, therefore, has an advantage over sheet metal as roofing material. Fourth, whereas in its natural condition it is affected by moisture, it may be rendered waterproof by saturating with asphalt, or by a variety of other methods. Fifth, it is a nonresonant, and well fitted to prevent the passage of sound. Sixth, it is a nonconductor of heat, and can be made also of incombustible material like asbestos, or rendered fire-resisting by chemical treatment. The combination of paper with other substances, and solidifying the mass by pressure, renders practicable the production of a material capable of replacing wood for many purposes; and not the least among its characteristics of adaptability is the ease with which it may be made into sheets of any width and thickness, that will not warp or shrink from heat, cold or dampness. —Cambridge Tribune.
Not Reduced to Want.
"I desire to insert this small advertisement in your paper to-morrow morning." she said.
"This," said the advertising clerk, looking it over, "will go among the wants."
"No, mum."
"Have you no 'wish' column?"
"Then, sir," said the young lady from Boston. haggitttly, "you need not insert it. I simply wish a situation as governess. That is all. It is not a case of want. Is there any newspaper printed in English in this place$^{p1}$—Chicago Tribune.
—A bunch of dates that weighed thirty-five pounds was picked on a ranch at Winters, Cal., recently. The owner set out a few trees as an experiment twenty-five years ago, and they have been bearing for ten years.
Every student should attend the Oratorical contest a week from Wednesday evening. It is one of the few times during the college year that the students have a chance to manifest a true college spirit. Every one should come out with the intention of unanimously supporting whomever the judges may award first place.
At the coming State contest at Emporia, K. S. U. should send the largest delegation of any college in the State. Let everybody turnout with Rock Chalk Jay Hawk K U. ringing in the air. For there is nothing that stirs a man to great efforts than the enthusiastic support of the entire body of students. Forget the faction you belong to and remember that you are a University man. Let every student turn out to the local contest and then let "On to Emporia" be the sentiment of every one.
