That the modesty and general disinterestedness of the frats concerned in the new barb (?) paper is terrific to contemplate. There has been a list of the members of the Sub-Freshman Class posted in the hall, so that "he who runs may read." That the list of three-hundred students who have signed, etc., "won't go down with the business men. they know better. The Sophomore English had a final examination in Rhetoric yesterday. Next week they will take up Stockwell Literature Primer. That the High Editor on the new paper keeps a standing "ad" in one of the city papers in regard to his mental capacity on the Tariff question. There are seventeen members enrolled in Prof. Snow's Meteorology class. This is the largest class ever known in this branch. It is especially remarkable as it is a optional study. In the Freshman English Class a few days ago, Prof. Marsh advocated the reading of good novels. Longfellow, J. Russel Lowell—he said, read novels for recreation. Among the many interesting tennis games at Mile's this season, the best contested was one between Johnson and Fox ; and Challice and Otis Saturday. Prof. Snow is adding a new feature to the Entomological branch in the shape of collection of dried catapillar skins, during the summer he added a collection of Kansas Grasshoppers. The Courier has observed that it made no difference as to the price of shares Tuesday—that there was a spirit of friendliness between the barbs and frats only exhibited during the progress of a fight. That some students weren't on to the slates. The total cost of the sidewalk up to the east side of Mississippi street to the University grounds is $574.41. Of this amount $52.36 for crossings must be footed by the city, while the remaining $522.05 comes out of the property owners along the street. At the Science Club Friday, Prof. Snow had a paper on the Logan County nichel mine, and Prof. W. S. Franklin, another on current topics in science. V. L. Kellogg was absent, and his paper on "definitions in evolutions was postponed. W.A. Snow was elected President; Vice Eugene Caldwell, resigned. Mr. Solon T. Williams, of the class of '80, left on Tuesday, for Washington, D. C., where he has secured a lucrative position as stenographer with the Inter-State Commerce Commission.

The Telegraph club held a meeting at the eue of the fourth hour, on Tuesday, and elected the following officers: President, Prof. Blake; Secretary, W. S. Franklin; Treasurer, Dick Short; Directors, Profs. Blake, Bailey and Frank Miller. Dick Short, Mr. Holmes, W. E. Curry, were elected as members. This now makes a membership of twenty. The club owns five miles of wire. Athenaeum. The meeting was called to order, at 4 p.m. A large number of active members was absent. The proprogram consisted of an essay, two declamations, current event essay, with thirty minutes discussion, and the regular debate. Several members of the law class attended to hear the debate. The question: Resolved "That all Reform in Government must come through one of Two Great Parties; and, that fealty to one of these parties is incumbent on every citizen" was decided in favor of the negative. G. Holsinger was elected President; H. White, Secretary; Executive Committee, White, Mushrush and Hall. The society will meet again next Friday afternoon when several new members will be added.

The Phi Gam hall is undergoing repairs, they expect to have it finished by to-night, when they will entertain their many friends. F. A. Stocks, an old University boy, now of Blue Rapids, received the nomination of Representative in the Legislature from that district. Some of the students seem to think more of tennis than they do of their books. We don't like to see this, as tennis is not what you are here for. J. H. Black, of Capioma, visited town this week, and expressed surprise at the fact that the University could support such a commendable paper as the Courier. On account of the absence of Hobbs, the moot court was postponed this week. Hobbs was called home by telegram on account of severe illness in his family. Pharmacy Notes A. E.

The Senior coolly credited the department with one Junior, mortar and pestle. The Y. W. C A. and Y. M. G. A. Reception. About three hundred students listened to the program of the College Christian Associations, Friday night. President Smith of the Y. M. C. A. opened the program, by requesting the audience to sing "Blessed Be the Tie that Binds." Prof. Canfield on being introduced said he had at last determined that the reason that he had been selected to deliver the address of welcome, was his youthfulness. The day before, one of the new students had accosted him on his way down hill and asked him to what class he belonged. Further, the Professor expressed his belief in the necessity and fruitfulness of the College Christian Associations in the education of the heart. He had no faith in the ability of colleges to make men better. He called attention to the number of college graduates in penitentiaries, and said he felt that all the business colleges in Christendom did not greatly retard the immigration of bank cashiers to Canada. After the applause had subsided, Miss Newlon entertained an appreciative audience with "The Gleamers. Mr. Higgins closed the program by delivering a selection from Mark Twain, "amidst laughter and applause. The remainder of the evening was spent in a social way. The Telegraph Club of the University met on Tuesday, and elected Prof. Blake, President; W. S. Franklin, Treasurer; and Bailey and Miller, Directors. Several new members were taken in.

A meeting was held Tuesday at the end of the fourth hour, by a certain faction of students, at which stock was subscribed and a board of editors elected for the purpose of publishing another weekly university paper. This champion of the interests of a select number of much abused students is soon to be launched forth upon an unoffending public. It is entirely without a mission and can offer no reasonable excuse for its existence. The Courier has always been and is to-day the representative student's paper. Its endeavor has been to be acceptable to all students as a true mirror of University events, as an interesting and readable newspaper. To attain this end it has labored faithfully and diligently. It has earned as a reward the approval of its readers and the support of the business men. The entire field of college journalism is now occupied. There is no room for another paper. The chief support of a college paper, must, of necessity, come from the merchants. They now liberally patronize the Courier and the Review. To ask more of them is unreasonable, ungrateful, and unjust. They will not and ought not to support every new paper which is started simply to gratify the vanity of college soreheads. We believe in having a college paper that shall be more Democratic. Frank Reed. The Tariff Reformers of the University have organized an enthusiastic club. THE Young Ladies Lawn Tennis club met Tuesday and admitted eleven new members. MR. J. KEYS, is editing the Hutchinson Weekly Democrat, and is making it a lively paper. Fraternities are prohibited by Princeton, Oberlin, Monmouth, and Georgetown Universities. The Republican lads have organized a club, and it promises to be an enthusiastic organization. THE Y. M. C. A. furnished boarding places for about one-hundred and twenty-five students this year. It is not until a young man has left the college halls and has to rustle for his daily bread that he begins to realize the importance of a thorough education. You bet, the new frat. paper will get no money out of me, I'm too old for that.—Ed. Martindale to one of the old non-frat. boys. You can't make me believe but what it is a barb paper when four frats own thirty out of fifty shares.— A Prominent non-Frat man. We would give the "barb boys" an equal amount of stock in this new paper if they only had as good material for newspaper work as we frats. Frank Reed. LAST Friday, Prof. Dunlap entertained his Sophomore English Class with a Shelly Reading. These Friday afternoon deviations are very popular with his students. WE (that is the frats, in this combination) held a meeting Saturday night and decided what "barbs" we wanted on this "anti-frat. paper," so-called.—W. A. White. Minnie W. Cranwell will delight a large number of University students with readings from Shakespeare, Howells, Meredith, Burdette, and others next Tuesday night at the Baptist Church. CORNELL. University has an unusually large freshman class this year-over 400. Last week the Sophomore-Freshman cane rush took place, resulting in a victory for the Freshman. In the free fight that lasted over two hours, no one was seriously hurt. Resolved, "That grass-hoppers are more destructive than potato bugs. The young ladies of Washburn have organized a debating club. At their first regular meeting they discussed the following question : What Our Library Needs. THAT better Library facilities are needed in our University is a fact that is becoming more and more evident. Books of all kinds, especially those of reference, are in greater demand this year than ever before. Prof. Canfield is very anxious to procure the volumes of a famous publication now scarce. In a letter to Bion S. Hutchins, secretary of the Republican State Central Committee, he says: "For several years I have tried secure the means to place within the library a full set of Nile's Weekly Register. This you will doubtless remember was published in Baltimore between 1811 and 1836. It is an invaluable collection of facts and opinions on all the activities of our national life and especially on political affairs. Just at present it is especially valuable as containing the largest collection of matter bearing upon the origin and growth of the tariff system from the standpoint of protection. Not only does it include all material scattered through the various public documents not now accessible, but with the greatest possible industry as well as with no small editorial ability an immense number of papers, documents, memorials, testimony delivered before special committees and similar matters not now found anywhere outside of this set are gathered together and given in unabridged form. The set comprises fifty volumes and will cost nearly $200, probably quite that with freight charges from New York or Washington here. Further on, the professor states that his share of the sum allowed for library purposes is only about $120 a year. And yet this department is one of the most important in the University. The editor of the Newton Republican, says : "Cannot the State Central Committee out of the fund in its hands, 'for the sake of the cause,' secure one of these sets and donate it to the University library. If not, do you not know of some leading Republicans in the State interested in the tariff discussion and in the University who will contribute between them enough to enable us to make this valuable addition to this library." THE habit of chewing gum is becoming so general among the young ladies, that the opinion of a very eminent authority on that subject will be read with considerable interest. THE inventor of chewing gum certainly did not realize what misery he was bringing upon the people by introducing this smick-smack chewing-gum woman or girl. She is in the parlor, ball room, theatre, store, street car, in fact everywhere. Go where you will there you find her, mouth full of gum and she always wants to talk. If there is anything that makes one feel like seeking sweet relief in death, it is the hope that good Saint Peter will close the door against the chewing gum female. The following extract from a letter written by Secretary Bayard to a committee having charge of the arrangements for the 250th anniversary celebration of the settlement of Delaware, held at Minneapolis, Minnesota, may prove of general interest. "The place of my birth and my present home, Wilmington Del. was, I conceive, one of the first, if not the first of the footmarks of Swedish enterprise in the new world. "Ft. Christian, on the banks of the river Christian, is now Wilmington, and was once Willington—named after Joseph Willing, of Bristol, in England, who emigrated to Pennsylvania (one of my ancestors on the maternal side), who married a Swedish lady and became possessed of the land whereon the settlement was made and the town built. "The most enduring visible monument of the Swedish era is the Old Swedes' Lutheran Church—now an Episcopal Church—which was dedicated to the Worship of God in 1698, and in which on Sunday last I attended divine service. This simple but impressive structure is within a few hundred yards of a rock on the side of the river Christiana whereon the tradition is—the Swedes first landed. Around this venerable building are the graves of the Swedish colonists, the terminology of whose names quaintly carved upon the tombstones attest their national origin, and there, "Each in his narrow cell forever laid The rude forebathers of the hamlet sleep." "As your letter tells me that you have a photograph of the church, it may be interesting for you to know that the ivy which covers the southern side was grown from a slip brought from Stoke-Pogis in England, the scene of Gray's immortal "Elegy in a country church-yard." My mother procured this slip of ivy, and had it planted more than half a century ago; her grave is but a few yards distant." Program of the Political Science Club To-morrow. U. S. Senate, - - { E.

Warder, of Kansas City, was the guest of Challiss this Week. Mr. Warder is a warm friend of the Courier, and contributed his lonely dollar to its support. W. R. Cone, who took an active part in suppressing the Mrs. Rice attack on fraternities last year, and who is an enthusiastic member of the Delta Tau Delta fraternity is running for School Superintendent in Coffey County. An Acquisition to Snow Hall Specimens. Snow hall has received from the Kansas State Silk Station, a Peabody case containing 58 specimens of silk in different shape. All the different kind of Coccoons are represented; various ornaments, silk cords, and flowers made from the under lining of the coccoon; specimens of silk carded and uncarded, silk worms, etc. The whole has a very ornamental appearance, and is especially interesting, as the products of the Kansas Silk Station, at Peabody. The case is the gift of the Hickey Bro., Thoburn, J. N. Scott and Brewer, of Peabody. Brewer was a University student some years ago. The University Times is the name of a new paper which has during this last week been organized by a body of students. We are told it comes to fill a long felt want, but what the want can be we are at a loss to conjecture, unless it be the want so often expressed on the part of the Lawrence business men for another medium for advertising for the University trade. However that may be, it is no concern of ours. Bull-dozing is one of these difficulties. Avoid it. What we wish more particularly to do is to give a few words of advice to the new-born as it starts out to battle with a cold and unsympathetic world. In the first place, allow us to suggest what will probably not be new to you, dear Times, that the life of a college paper must depend on no slight extent upon its advertisers. And now, as to the manner of obtaining advertisers. Don't attempt to do it by means commonly designated as bulldozing. It won't work. Merchants of Lawrence are Americans, after all, whatever you may think to the contrary, and we feel warranted in assuring you that no imaginary "list of three hundred students who have signed a paper agreeing not to patronize any merchant who refuses to advertise in the new paper," will get for you a single advertiser. It won't work. Try some other plan. We are prompted to make this suggestion because we take a lively interest in you, dear Times. We are older than you; we have seen the day when we were obliged to struggle and so we can sympathize with you, though the world treat you ever so coldly. Besides, when not editing the Courier, we are a fraternity man ourselves, and naturally take an interest in the efforts of sister fraternities. So, dear Times, when we learned that three fraternities and one "Barb" had joined hands to found you, our heart went out to you, and in imagination we were leading you by the hand through the difficulties that must inevitably beset your early path.

Student's Life, published by the students of Washington University, St. Louis, comes to our exchange table this week brim-ful of interesting matter. In the Sunbeam, published by Ontario Ladies' College, is a well-written article on the "Habit of Thinking." One of their "cap" lines is: "The real emancipation for women is learning to think." The writer of that article must have a poor opinion of the young ladies of the present. Several of our exchanges are edited by young ladies, and we must say they totally eclipse some of the efforts that we receive from the sterner sex. One hundred and seventy-five of out of the three hundred and sixty-five colleges in the United States publish papers. The Hillsdale Herald is said to be the only college paper in the United States that is published weekly throughout the year. The four most important female colleges in America are Wellesley with 620 students, Smith with 367, Vassar with 283,and Byrn Mawr with 79. In the United States one man in every two hundred takes a college course; in Scotland one in every six hundred; in Germany one in every two hundred and thirteen. The following colleges have reported more than 1000 students; Harvard, 1790; Columbia, 1489; University of Michigan, 1475; Oberlin, 1302; Yale, 1134; Northwestern, 1100; University of Pennsylvania, 1069.

The stockholders of the Times and visitors had filled room eleven Wednesday,when the chairman called the meeting to order. On motion Martindale read the report of the committee on Constitution,of which he was appointed chairman at the last meeting in the chapel. The constitution as suggested by Last Tuesday evening the room of the Jeffersonian club was comfortably filled with students of the University who sympathized with tariff reform. A meeting was held a week previous to this and committees appointed to arrange things for permanent organization. Last Tuesday a constitution was adopted and the following officers elected: President, Richard Horton; Vice President, Caywood; Secretary, A. V. Ennes, Treasurer, Russell Whitman; an Executive committee consisting of Horton, Stebbins and Bear was unanimously elected. Amateur Statesmen Stebbins, Bear, Harburger and others, made enthusiastic speeches. On motion a committee of two—Stebbins and Bear—were appointed to challenge the University Republican club to a debate on the subject of tariff reform. In another place will be found an interesting program for next Tuesday evening. Stockholders' Meeting of the Times: the committee provided for the issuance of fifty shares, at two and fifty apiece; that the fraternities be allowed to hold no more than three-fifths or less than two-fifths; that no fraternity be allowed to hold more than ten shares; that the transfer of a share be recorded ninety days before the holder can use it; and that the constitution could only be amended by three-fourths of shares. Reed moved to strike out the phrase "nor less than two-fifths." Martindale suggested that it would be necessary to retain the clause in order to prevent the fraternities from backing down. Carried. Under the head of the selection of Board of Share Adjusters, Mumford moved that two members of the board be selected from the faction casting the minority vote. At this, Street, White and other fraternity men objected, as they knew the non-frats were in the minority and likely to remain so. After a spirited but orderly debate between Mumford and Street, the motion was lost. One frat. man voted for the amendment. It was then moved that two-thirds be substituted for three-fourths in the clause pertaining to the amendment of the constitution. Worden kicked. In case of a fraternity and non-fraternity fight, it would be an easy matter for the fraternities to make enough Sub Rosa votes to force an amendment on the stockholders. (Cheers and hisses.) The question was decided on a square fraternity vote and the motion carried. On motion the clause pertaining to the number of days notice necessary to make a share valid, was so amended as to make the number of days thirty instead of ninety. The constitution was then adopted and Caywood, Mumford and Stebbins were appointed the members of the Board of Adjustors. PHARMACY PICKINGS. E. E.

THE Indiana Supreme Court has decided that college students of a legal age may vote in college towns. The following dialogue took place in a class room last Friday afternoon : Professor.—"What have you been reading? Student.—"The weakly Times with the exception of the patent page." Professor.—"You have missed the best part of that paper." THE Times claims to have received many compliments on its very able editorial on "The Texas Mustang, or The Most Servicible Horse to Ride on the Prairie." Verily the "Barb" is a born newspaper man. Let the good work go on. WEAK, wan and tired looking the Times made its appearance in a selfish world already overcrowded, with a labored apology for its untimely birth. Forseeing that its frail and delicate constitution cannot weather the storms, nor survive the trials and tribulations of earthly existence, with a philosophic view of life, it has already begun preparations for its departure, that it may die gracefully and peacefully. Doubtless some loving friend may be found to write its obituary and the earth shall know it no more. Don't you see that if we fill up with plates and free advertising our fraternity sinking fund will last longer. Frank Reed. NEW STUDENT.—“When you meet the Times proprietors, why do you always say, 'How's everything?'” Old student. — “Because they think that they own the world.” THE Law department of the University is, and always has been, sadly neglected. There seems to be an impression that it does not need the fostering care of legislative appropriation; but that if left alone it will take care of itself. A state law school unable to purchase the judicial reports of its own state is, indeed, a spectacle for men and gods. Most of the law books to which the students have access belong, not to the school, but to the Dean, and it is only through his generosity and kindness, that library facilities are offered the students. Then again, among all the periodicals taken by the University, there is not one legal journal. All of the rest of the departments are provided for, but the poor laws are left to rustle for knowledge as best they may. Who Will Pay the Fiddler? It is an unfortunate thing in University affairs that some students never outgrow their swaddling clothes. While they are sufficiently developed in intellectual capacity to enter college, they never get above the childishness that marked their nursery days. That they are beyond their mother's knees where their peevishism can't receive that wholesome check of slipper or shingle, makes this pettishness the more offensive. The latest exhibition of baby sentiment is the starting of a new University paper. A few mothers' pets have, with pouting lips and clinched fingers, been trying to get a hold on a college paper. Their feeling is that a paper is a plaything to provide boys with a position. They have no conception—their ideas have not reached that period of incubation—of the actual purpose of a college paper. This infantile display of temper is constantly observable in student enterprises. It broke up the college militia because all the babies wanted to be officers. It has spawned fraternity after fraternity, because the children cried for a jew-jaw badge, and not getting it, organized new secret societies of their own. It has raised the wail of "favoritism" when the "kids" failed to get the prizes they sought in contests. In every defeat it raises a bawl. The Review represents the literary side, the Courier the local side of the school. Each is a credit to the department it fills. The Courier has become a distinct feature of the University—as well known, as warmly admired, as ably conducted in its Everybody except those babies, knows the University now has all the papers it can creditably support. But this is a great, big, free country! Babies can cry and make faces and butt their heads against the fence and nobody can prevent them. They can start papers if they want, and as many as they want—just as long as their papas furnish them enough nickels to pay for these juvenile luxuries. Parents too, are sometimes a wee bit daft, and share their children's vanity in seeing the big word "Editor" opposite the dear little ones' names. Let the blessed little things have their fun, they like it, you know. work, as the institution itself which tops Mt. Oread. Yet while anyone can start a paper, it's quite a different thing when other people are asked to support it. It is too well known to attempt any concealment, that the Lawrence men pay for the running of college papers. The money received from subscriptions is a bagatelle—it don't cover the cost of the grease on the press that prints the paper. The advertisements are what pay the typos, buy the blank paper and furnish the postage. Now what are the business men going to do about this baby business? They have been supporting college papers for two reasons—because they like to encourage student enterprise, and because their advertisements brought them student trade. The merchants have given life to two good papers—the Review and Courier; and in these two they have got all the value to be obtained from college advertising. Are the merchants willing to countenance another paper? Do they want to divide their patronage among a dozen or so publications—and so divided they must all be sickly papers? Do the men on Massachusetts street want to go down to their breeches pockets for advertising that will not bring them an additional cent's trade? Do they propose to be put to a lot of useless expense in order that a few pouting, spewling infants may keep their names at the head of an editorial column? Are present papers to be strengthened and made to keep pace with the institution they represent, or are new papers to be spawned and tradesmen asked to nourish them? The Doughnuts at the Bakery Disgrace Themselves. The Northwestern is a well edited paper. LAST week a new publication appeared among the Uni university students. Its name, the University Times. Once more the students at Baldwin have come to the front. Once more they have distinguished themselves. After a political meeting had dispersed Monday night and the crowd was returning quietly and peaceably to the station, a gang of Baker students hurled at them stones and other missiles, severely injuring several and knocking several senseless to the ground. Let the body of the students hunt out the hoodlums and ruffians who committed the assault, and thus clear themselves of the infamy. Until the guilty ones are punished by law, the college itself stands disgraced. The Times comes on the stage bowing and scraping and apologizing for its appearance, or intrusion, as it seems to expect it to be regarded. We have no objections to its being received here, but we do object to its criticisms of the Courier. One of the grounds on which the Times says it can maintain its right to exist is that there has been heretofore no representative students' weekly paper in the Uuiversity. And that is what we object to. What is a student's paper? One that thoroughly represents them. One that is run fairly and impartially, and for the best interests of the students and the University. One that is edited and managed by good representative students; students of ability; students who believe in the University; students who in the management of the paper know no class, nor fraternity, nor clam. And these are the kind of men who, the COURIER claims, have always had it in charge. Allow us to glance briefly at the different young men who have been at the head of the Courier in the past. Its first Editor-in-chief since it has passed under the so-called "present management" was H. A. Smith, since a cadet at West Point. Those who know anything of the rigor of the examinations for admittance there, and the competition for appointments, will require no further recommendation of his ability. W. S. Jenks succeeded Mr. Smith. Mr. Jenks led the Class of '87 after a most successful college career. Harry Valentine was the next man who was placed in charge of the Courier. Although Valentine did not complete his college course, he made for himself a record here as one of the brightest and clearest students of his day. Cyrus Crane next received the honor of an election to the head of the paper. Mr Crane represented the State of Kansas in the Inter-State Contest in his Junior year, besides winning more honors, probably than any other man of his class. Frank Crowell was Crane's successor. Mr. Crowell was elected Valedictorian of his class, a position his enemies, if he has any, cannot deny he merited. John Prescott was Editor-in-chief of the Courier last term. Mr. Prescott led the Class of 1888 with uncommonly high grades. Under him the Courier fully equalled any of its past attainments. claimed by the Times? We could enlarge a great deal on the records and attainments of the students who have been engaged in editing the COURIER; but enough has already been shown to prove that any assertions that the COURIER has not been managed by representative students is false. Those who have been engaged on the COURIER have been among the best and brightest students that have ever attended the University. But has the Courier been man- aged for the best interests of the students as a whole, or for the purpose of one or two fraternities, as is The best answer to this question is to be found in the columns of the back numbers of the Courier. It certainly cannot be claimed that all University news has not been fully and impartially given. No one fraternity has been spoken of in higher terms than another, for the Courier has never attempted to pass upon the claims of the different fraternities to distinction. But it is claimed that two fraternities have the entire control of the Courier and that none other is allowad any voice in its management. It is true that two of the fraternities have taken greater interests in the Courier than any other and that at times they have owned a majority of the stock issued, but it is certainly no less true that the stock books have always been open to all, and that no two fraternities at present own a majority of the stock of the Company. If others want to help run and manage the Courier they are at perfect liberty to purchase shares to any extent they may see fit. That they have not done more in the past is due to but one thing. For a long time the other fraternities regarded the Courier as an impossible venture. Expecting it to end in failure, they allowed others to do the work, others to spend the money—and it was no slight sum—and now when the paper is secure, when its debts are all paid, for the Courier owes no man a dollar, these others, who so long predicted failure, raise a great cry about the Courier being the organ of two fraternities and organize the Times. We pledge you one thing, students: The Courier shall always be as it has always been, run for the best interests of the students of the University of Kansas. It seems rather strange to some that there is never a University controversy of any kind, no matter how petty or unimportant, but the Lawrence daily papers are dragged into the arena as the special champions of some fraternity's interest. To such it may not be out of place to drop a few pointers. The managers of these papers lose no sleep in watching the progress of college fights. But it often happens, as is now the case, that enthusiastic fraternity men doing work on city papers cannot refrain from stepping out of their regular path of duty to espouse the failing cause of their dear brothers in school. The present situation is this: A Beta and Phi Delt are endeavoring to make fraternity organs out of city newspapers, in order, if possible, to build up another University newspaper. Their influence is just what it would be if these same individuals would stand on the street corners and proclaim their wrongs. Only this and nothing more. Still we would ask them to keep the Lawrence newspapers out of the fray. The students can take care of themselves. Let them alone. Sam Erwin Ryan to-night and to-morrow night.

UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS. VOL. VII Local. Philological Club have an inter est meeting to-night. Prof. Sayre received the Senior Pharmacies Monday evening. The sub-Germans tackled a quiz Tuesday. LAWRENCE, KANSAS, OCTOBER 19, 1888. Political Science Club, Phiological Club, Kent Club and the Republican Club meet to-night. The Unity Club is to have a paper on "Books and their influence on character" to-night, by Prof. Marsh. Prof. Wilcox is to have a paper on "Bible Interpretation" some time during the winter. A paper is now being sent out to the alumni, signed by several prominent Democratic students of the University, calling their attention to the alleged speech of Gen. Rice in Ft. Scott, in which it is stated he said that Prof. Canfield would be "fired" if Humphrey was elected. If the Republicans feared there was any danger of Canfield's removal they would have no hesitancy in signing it too. In last week's Times several interesting things appeared that the Courier had printed the week before. We hope the next time our esteemed cotemporary copies our locals they will give us proper credit. Last week we had crowded out of the local page accounts of the parties at Mrs. Grovenors and at Miss Walkers, and other matters of more or less importance. We will see that such things do not happen again. Orophillian. Under the new regulations of the Faculty, by means of which the Library and Society Rooms are opened Friday evenings, most gratifying results are being obtained. Last Friday evening the Library was thronged with students, and Orophilian hall was comfortably crowded. We feel confident that the regulation will enable the literary societies of our school to prosper, and to accomplish more successfully the end for which they were instituted. At least, the vigor and energy displayed by Orophilian in her program of last Friday evening would seem to indicate this. After listening to an essay by Mr. H. Smith, a reading by Mr. Worden, an extemporaneous speech by Mr. Caywood, a sharp debate was engaged in on the question, "Resolved That land should be subject to State and municipal taxation." Affirmative was upheld by F. E. Read and Mr. Worden: Negative by F. M. Bear and G. O. Virtue. Final decision was rendered in favor of the affirmative. Orophilian is again well on her feet, and she is going to stay there. We extend in her behalf a hearty invitation to all students to attend our sessions and to swell our ranks of membership. A SPECTATOR. The First Trial. Last Friday night the University and Snow hall were well lighted and presented a lively and animated appearance. For some reason there was not a large enough attendance to hold a session of the Athenian, but the members are fully confident, however, that the next meeting will be a success. Orophilian, the other society had better success and the hall was crowded. The most engrossing part of the programme was the debate on the question, Resolved; "That State and Municipal tax should be raised by direct land tax." L. A. Stebbins was absent and Read led the affirmative in his place, and Worden of the Athenians'assisted. During the discussion Bear, of the negative, said that this was the same doctrine that was urged by Henry George and the Anarchists of Chicago, and remarked that the advocates of such measures were all of one piece. Read in reply said that he had not entirely been annihilated by the remarks of his opponent, but that he consoled himself by thinking that they were intended in the set speech of his opponent for the gentleman whose place he took. He would attempt, he said, to answer the arguments of the second speaker on the negative, for he considered, the speaker added with a fine burst of oratory, "that there was not one particle of evidence in the speech of his first opponent." Mr. Worden eloquently appealed to the fact that the land of the speculator was made valuable by the efforts of the sons of toil about him, and if the tax should be made entirely on land, the speculator could not afford to pay that tax on land that did not net him any income, and he would be compelled to sell out to some other son of toil. The land belonged to all people in common and it was but right that the speculator should be frozen out by the land tax. No 6. Mr. Bear.—How about the sons of toil around him? Mr. Virtue said he gathered from the remarks of the preceeding speaker that the land tax would be too expensive for the rich, but not for the poor. It would, he understood, make them cultivate their lands more—it was advocated as a Horticultural movement. He was opposed to it notwithstanding, because he regarded it as manifestly unfair that Vanderbilts and Jay Goulds and other millionaires with their miles and miles of railroad and other property should be allowed to go without paying any tax proportional to their wealth. The debate was decided two to one in favor of the affirmative. Mr. Worden replied that they would be working their land and could get the tax out of their land, —it was mighty poor land that would not pay §2 to the acre, but the speculator would find it difficult to pay for land that produced nothing. Too, the State would say to the farmer, "We won't charge you any tax on your cows, your horses or farming implements. We will have but a single tax." After paying a glowing tribute to the Sons of Toil and Free trade Mr. Worden closed. E. A. Miller, G. A. Hanry, G. H. Nolin, J. Hunter Culver, S.C.Weskirt and Hiram Montgomery were elected members and the meeting adjourned. SCIENCE CLUB. The program was opened in Snow Hall by Prof. Bailey on the Coal Fields of Kansas. According to the geological survey, he said, there were three strata of coal in Kansas, and these cropped out in the southeastern part of the State. Since the mines had been opened, and were being worked, it was thought that there might be more than the three strata. These veins dip to the northwest, and at Leavenworth are about 800 feet below the surface. In the central and northwestern part of the State, even if these same coal veins exist, they are too deep to admit of being worked. In Crawford county the professor found a specimen of coal which was very hard and brittle and quite brilliant, having all the characteristics of cannel coal. It was found only in small pockets. In many of the mines, however, there is a great waste. The different strata average about 32 inches in thickness. In some mines it was noticed that there was a large amount of sulphur in the coal. In the southeast corner of Cherokee county lead and zinc is being mined. Prof. Sayres followed with a talk from notes on Leadville. The professor took the Union Pacific and stopped off a day at Denver and another at Cannon City. He said that his first impression of Leadville was that it contained about 9,000 men and 1,000 disreputable women. The city was full of gambling devices—the local paper gave the number, and about half of them were fair. He described several of the mines which he had visited and several methods of refining the gold. Speaking of the surrounding country, he remarked that one of the gulches were called "Frying Pan Gulch," because a company of prospectors had washed some alleged gold in a frying pan for want of something better; another was called the "Son-of-a-Bitch" gulch—that others were so foul that they were referred to by their initials. The country about Leadville was dotted here and there by little piles of dirt, where prospectors had sunk the ten-foot shaft and found nothing. These shafts, said the professor, were sunk by means of the shovel pick and "Armstrong Tengion," i.e. the common windless. At one place a fifty thousand dollar plant had been deserted because there was not gold enough to pay to run it. In the Science Notes Professor Snow gave an account of the report of the govermental chemist, who recently went to Europe to compare the American and European microscopes. In his opinion the American was greatly superior to the European—all the new devices having been borrowed from the Americans. Supt. Crocker has been digging "prospect holes" in the north room of the basement, to ascertain the depth to solid rock. This is done in order to make an estimate of the amount to be asked from the Legislature by the Board of Regents for repairing the foundation of the main building. The south wing was "fixed up" last year. It is quite a difficult job to undermine the walls and to put in a new foundation. The foundation is settling, which threatens the safety of the building. Doubtless such engineers as the K. S. U. "sends out" would not have made such a blunder as the one made, when the massive structure was erected on a foundation not "built upon the rock."—Tribune. The Republican Club held a rousing old meeting Friday night, with about fifty people present. W. J. Wade compared the Senate bill with the Mills bill in an able manner. Mr. Pomeroy followed with a short sketch of the history of tariff legislation and a discussion of one of its phases of that great subject. Mr. Butterworth and Mr. Wescott also made short, stirring addresses, which brought forth applause. A challenge from the Tariff Reform Club, to a discussion of certain political questions, was read. The club decided that it was willing to engage in a political discussion with the Young Democrats, and a committee, consisting of W. J. Wade, A. L. Wilmoth and Mr. Pomeroy was appointed to meet a similar committee from the Reform Club, to select the questions and fix the date of the discussion. H. A. Pears conducted the meeting at the Y. M. C. A. Sunday. There has been more visitors this week than any other week since school opened. Theta Tea. Last Friday evening Kappa Alpha Theta entertained their gentlemen friends with a seven o'clock tea, at the home of Miss Walker, in an elegant manner. The tables were beautifully decorated and tastily arranged. After the enjoyable spread dancing was begun, the music being furnished by the Mandolin Club. Those present were Misses May Webster, Wagstaff, Lillie McMillian, Julia Benedict, Tella Chapman, Emma Bartell, Helen Simpson, Kate Merrill, Mannie Simpson, Sydney Dailey and May Walker; Messrs.

At Washburn college it is considered a serious breach of discipline if a young man talks to a young lady more than five minutes at any one time. The faculty are in favor of a protective policy. The following is certainly not a very good recommendation for the young men at Washburn. The Reporter says: "It is certainly not to the credit of some of our students that Dr. McVicar felt the necessity of referring to the practice of spitting tobacco juice upon the floors in the halls and stairways. That it was the result of thoughtlessness on the part of those who did it we feel assured, and yet when we consider that the young ladies were obliged to wade through these miniature lakes, it seems as if such thoughtlessness is inexcusable." The Times is the name of the last paper that asks the support of the students. We want to say a few words as to its claims for patronage, not because we object to another University paper, in itself, but because the Times has been started with the avowed purpose of killing the Courier, and because we owe it to the students, whom we have tried to faithfully represent, and for whose interests we are always awake, to let them know the facts of the case, that they may decide intelligently which paper merits their support. At the present time the majority of the outstanding stock of the Courier is in the hands of the members of two fraternities, the Phi Kappa Psi and the Phi Gamma Delta. Early this term two of the Betas came to some of the Phi Psis and wanted to go into a combination with them to run the Courier. This the Phi Psis refused to do. Afterwards the Betas started the scheme of founding a new paper, to be controlled by themselves, the Phi Delta Thetas and the Sigma Chis. When the subject was broached to the Phi Delts they came to the fraternities already interested in the Courier and wanted to enter into a combination with them to buy up a controlling number of the shares of stock and run the paper to the exclusion of every one else. This proposition they urged as long as they had any hopes of its being conceded and then despairing of this they entered upon the scheme proposed by the Betas and helped to establish the Times. That is the cause of the birth of the University Times. the fraternities who failed to make the combination started the Times. Had those fraternities upon whom the Courier has had to depend for students who would give their time and attention to its welfare been willing to make the Courier company a close corporation, one held in the power of three fraternities, the Times would never have been heard of. But because they wanted to keep the paper as it always has been, a representative paper, one in which all could become interested by purchasing shares, these other ambitious youths have felt obliged to start a paper of their own. As we say the Courier has always been open to any one who wished to take an interest in it. The majority of the shares out may be under the control of two fraternities as is urged, but certainly a majority of its capital stock is not. Any one can have shares who will pay for them, he he frat man or be he barb. If the work on the Courier has been done chiefly by the members of two fraternities, it has been because no one else would take a hold and spend his time and money in the work. Time was when the Courier was looked upon as an impossible venture, when none others than those now interested would touch its stock. And now when they have from force of circumstances, gone ahead and done the work and established the fact that a weekly paper can be made to pay for itself, some of the fraternity men who have never lifted a finger in making the Courier a success want to come in and form a combination to shut every one out but themselves and those who had been so long active in building up the paper. This being refused, (was it not for your interests, students, rather than for the interests of the two fraternities who were approached on the subject that it should be) As to the policy of the Times, we want to say a few words. It is under the control of, and will be run for the benefit of the Beta Theta Pi, Phi Delta Theta and Sigma Chi fraternities in the University. But its supporters will point to the fact that its editor-in-chief is a barb and to the clause in the constitution giving subscribers a right to vote. Its present editor-in-chief is merely put up as a decoy to catch the barb support. After his term has expired no barb will ever hold the position unless the management is greatly changed from its present plan and purpose. But how about the right of the subscribers to vote? Well, we suppose it will be conceded that this right amounts to nothing as far as the first election of the year is concerned, as it will be impossible for any one to have paid up ninety days before that election. As to the second election, there are just two men who know the entire number of paid up subscribers, the Business managers. All entitled to vote in this election must be paid up about the middle of October. The number who will have paid by that time will never be very large and they will be divided in their vote so that it will be a very simple matter for the Business Managers, if they happen to be in the combination, to secure enough of their friends at the very last minute to give their side a majority. They could put their friends on the paid up list whether they had paid or not, but of course they never would! But who are the Business Managers? White and Street. What fraternities do they belong to? The Phi Delta Theta and the Sigma Chi. Certainly, then, it will not be very hard for the fraternity combination to keep control of the paper if they choose. Do you think they will chose? If you don't know, ask any barb who has been in college two years and see what he thinks. Now we trust you can see the plan and possibilities of the Times; the so-called students' paper; a paper organized by, and three-fifths of whose stock is under the control of three fraternities, two of whom have already this year attempted to form a combination for the management and control of the only really representative students' paper that has ever been edited in the University. Students, do you intend to endorse the Times, under the absolute control as it is of a combination of fraternities, or will you remain loyal to the paper that has always been loyal to you, the paper in which you can at any time become interested by purchasing shares, the paper that before now has offered to increase its number of shares, if at any time it should become necessary in order that all might have a voice in its management, the paper whose stock holders refuse to make combinations for the few to the exclusion of the many, the WEEKLY UNIVERSITY COURIER?

According to the Journal, the "usual feminine orgies," of which the uninitiated masculine mind can form no conception, but which are supposed to compose the chief delights of an afternoon lunch, were participated in to the fullest and happiest degree. Among those present were: Nellie Franklin, Maud Springer, Veannia Johnston, Edna Maxwell, Carrie Hanscomb, Ollie Pearson, Carrie Stevens, Jenie Edwards; Eva Miles, Sue Miles, Helen Simpson, Emma Bartell, Lollie Buckingham, Helen Sutliff, Tella Chapman, Ia Williams, Mrs. C. P. Grovenor, Lida Griffith, Gorgie Brown, Kate Powell, Mrs MacDonald, Edith Haskell, and May Haskell. Prof. Marsh on Books Prof. Marsh went down to Topeka Sunday before last and occupied the pulpit of the Unitarian church, both morning and evening. In the morning he preached from the text: Matthew 13, 31 and 32. In the evening he had an informal address on "Books." An audience rather larger than the ordinary congregation of the Unita ian church greeted him. Gladstone, Longfellow, and others, who were, or had been, great readers of novels in their spare moments. In closing, the professor said, that if he had caused any one to entertain a more favorable impression of books his purpose had been accomplished. Mr. Marsh remarked, on opening his address, that while the other churches were holding a union meeting at the Grand Opera House, a "union might be found in apparant diversity." The professor said "that there were two ways of gathering information, conference with the wise and from the store-house of information—books. He said he desired to repeat what every man had said who has spoken of books, and which Bacon has said, perhaps, better than anybody else. "History maketh me wise, poets witty," etc. He then quoted Carlyle's description of a perfect mind, and cited the different classes of books and their usefulness in making Carlyle's idea of a perfect mind. Poetry—his students sometimes, he said, thought that poetry consisted mainly of poetic license—were the most accurate of writers, and contributed most in making the mind a "perfect mirror." He was something of a heretic about novels, the professor admitted, and maintained their usefulness to the literary man. It acts upon his brain much as alum does at the city water works. Alum gathers together all the impurities and carry it to the bottom flues, the speaker explained, the novel, in proportion as it is good, carries the worries and bothers of the busy man's life "to the bottom" and leaves his mind fresh and vigorous for the next day; further than this the novel taught the reader to be more sympathetic, and thus gave the reader finer feelings. Again, it was true that all, but mostly the young, were selfish; that they thought mostly of themselves. Anything, the professor said, that brought one out of this line of thought, as it were, had its own usefulness. In justifying his heresy of novels he was accustomed to justify himself by the custom of great men, mentioning We wish we could obtain a more accurate report of the address, but it was to a large extent extemporaneous, and no copy of his remarks could be procured. All through were illustrations of the sympathy and kindness one learns from books, and the force of his allusion he opened with was fully understood. I. C. Crubb It was a disappointment to many that the "chaw" of the I. C. Sorosis was not an old fashioned "grubb" nevertheless they enjoyed themselves as people always do at the I. C. party. Among those present were Misses Penfield, Manley, Scott, King, Webber, Sultiff, Harrison, Horton, Barker, Love, Baird, McCague, Snow, Gertrude and Millia Crotty, Lyons, Tisdale, Roberts, Dow, Griffith, Pugh and Sue and Eva Miles. Messrs. Morris, Brewer, Hogeboom, A. E. Johnson, Fox, Whitman, Otis, Devendorf, Watson, V. L. Kellogg, F. H. Kellogg, Snow, Spencer, W. A. White, DeCamp, Edson, Horton, Lewis, Johnson, Yearsley, White, Callahan, Penfield, Gilmore and Sam Archelle. About ten o'clock a delightful lunch was served. The guests were entertained with music, dancing and cards. Rock Chalk Jay Hawk K. S. U. Perhaps the most interesting game of ball ever played in Lawrence occurred on Wednesday afternoon, between the Universities and Johnson & Slavin's Minstrel Troup. About 300 people witnessed the game. In the last half of the fourth inning Long struck the ball a side lick, rolling it up the bat and peeling the skin off over his eye. In the first half of the sixth innine Hickey made a grand stand catch in the center field and put out the side. In the first inning Morrissey scored a run for the Minstrels, and Natas, Crawford and Cannon went out and Watson died on third. Hogeboom and Harvey made two runs for the Universities in the latter half of the same inning. In the second the Minstrels went out in one, two, three order, and in the third Morris tallying one for K. S. U. The fourth resulted in a goose egg for the Minstrels, but Smith got in a run for the home nine. In the fifth, Morrissey ard Schelling (who, as every K. S. U. student knows, is the boss catcher for the home club, caught for the Minstrels as they had none) scored for the Minstrels. Cannon knocked a daisy, but was put out by Johnson at second. In the seventh, eighth and ninth innings the Minstrels went down for more goose eggs, and the University nine ran in one in the sixth and another in the eighth. They played in the following positions. All bee sity JOHNSON & SLAVINS. UNIVERSITIES. Runnell, p. 1. $O$ sghurep, r. 1. Schelling, c. 1. $O$ sghurep, b. 1. Grammert, c. 1. $O$ davls, 1st b. 1.

A student's Republican club has been organized at Wooster University. Over 100 students were suspended from the University of Berlin during the last semester, for insufficient attention to study. Only one hundred and ninety-five of the four hundred and seven members of Congress have received a collegiate education. Before the war seventeen per cent. of Harvard men came from the South; now only three per cent. come from that part of the country. "More than thirteen hundred members of the University of Cambridge are opposed to the admission of women." Society there must, indeed, be in a deplorable condition. So far as we are able to ascertain, no one this fall is taking any lively interest in the local oratorical contest, which will occur in the near future.—Washburn Reporter. In four years the attendance at Cornell University has increased from 561 to 1,200. The remarkable increase of students is attributed to the substitution of the lecture system for the old plan of daily recitations from text-books. The Printer Girl finds its way to our table this week, and we give it a hearty welcome. It is published at Topeka by the girls and for the girls, yet its appearance is so pleasing that it cannot fail to shed its influence on the boys.

Howland was looking over the University Monday with Prof. Marsh. The Doctor is a hearty supporter of the University, and is deeply interested in the progress made by the great western institution. He has donated to the Library the complete publication of the "Nation" in 46 volumes, handsomely bound, besides many other valuable editions. Dr. Howland will continue to place in the Library at the end of each year, the issues for the year of the Nation.

The classical museum was looked after by Prof. Sterling Friday night. Mr. G. Grovenor has again been elected trustee of Ottawa University. The game between the Beta and Sigma clubs was postponed on account of the absence of several of the players. As has been remarked by each of the city papers in turn this week, the "Dougnuts will not play K. S. U. this season." Prof Marsh did not have a paper on "Books" last Friday night at the Unity club as was expected, but will have a paper to-night on "Keats and His Poetry." The Sub Fresh German class tried to put what they knew about German on paper Tuesday. Prof. A. G. Canfield will give a talk on Art Friday evening, at 7:30, in the Art room. A large attendance of those interested in the subject should be present. If Street owes you anything, now is the time to get it. He had a dollar Monday and was so tickled that he showed it to the stock-holders of the Oratorical Association. Prof. Blake thinks the next crop of winter wheat will be worth $1.40 per bushel in Chicago at threshing time, and predicts another big yield for Kansas. To the Courier: Allow me to say through your columns that in my estimation White should be a little more exact in the choice of his profanity, then he will not make such a deplorable mistake as he did the other day. He can get a school edition of Webster's Dictionary for $1.00. He had better take Street's dollar and buy one. A Visitor. Mr. E. W. Cantrell, a law student at the University, was seriously injured Friday night while returning home, by stepping through a hole in the sidewalk on Quincy street, along the south side of the Lewis lumber yard. Mr. Cantrell was thrown heavily to the ground, and received injuries that will confine him to his room for some time.

He is a young man of energy and marked ability, and has spent two years at Carlisle college, Pennsylvania. Mr. White Chief is the first Indian to avail himself of the advantages offered by the K. S.

Yes, there is bloody red blood on the moon now, so much so that it might have been taken for an eclipse Wednesday night. The Old and New Club were entertained at Prof. Marshal's residence last Saturday evening. The Professor had a paper on "Will Poetry Revive?" The Journal says that the discussion between the University clubs far excelled anything of the kind that has taken place for years. It is not now the "Island of Pokah, or the Lost Ace" but "The Mount of Oread, or the Lost Book," which will be presented at the Rink by W. A. White, C. E. Street and F. T. Read, Street taking part of the heavy villain. The Courier received the following letter from Ed Franklin: "Please send my University Courier to Donaldsonville, LA., and be sure you send every issue, or there will be war when I return to Lawrence. Can not keep my trade without it. Yours &c., E. C. FRANKLIN. The Burlington Chronicle speaking of the entertainment given in that city on October 10, compliments Miss Hutchings and the Professor very highly, and closes as follows: "The lecture by Prof. McDonald was entertaining throughout and showed his familiarity with the subject of music. We trust Professor McDonald and Miss Hutchings will again honor our city with a visit. They will always be welcome. It is amusing to note how one sided are some people's natures. Last week our electotyped contemporary, the Times, came out with a great rush about the Upshaw matter, mentioning only two of the four University boys implicated in the affair, because they were distantly connected with the Courier; and the other two, "Oh! my, it would never do to expose them, because they belong to our side." "O! Consistency thour art our side." "O! Consistency thour art our side." Last Saturday night a number of students and town people convened, and gave a joint party at the K. P. hall. The hours were very pleasantly passed in conversation and dancing to the sweet strains of the Mandolin. Those present were Messrs. Lewis McCague, Horton, Johnston, Grover, Fox, Otis,riggs,DeCamp,Bullene, Warner and Gilmore. Misses Roberts, Webster, Beard,Lyons, Griffith,McMillian,McCague,Benedict,Tisdale and Harrison. Philological Club. The Philological club held its regular meeting last evening. Prof. Wilcox read a paper on "The Temple at Corinth," showing by drawings on the board the temples revealed by recent excavations under the directions of Dr. Doerfeld. This temple is especially interesting in what it contributes to our knowledge of the development of Doric architecture. Prof. Marsh spoke of the present outlook of poetry, his remarks being suggested by letters of Charles Eliot Norton, which he read to the club. It is Prof. Norton's opinion that we have seen the last of the line of great poets—at least that neither of the generations now living will reveal one. An interesting discussion followed, and was quite generally participated in. There was a large number of members and visitors present. Pharmacy Pickings. Prof. Sayre is analyzing pepper and tea for adulterations. Prof. Bailey is analyzing coal from various portions of the state. The class in Structural Botany examined the Times for Bacteria Day. Senior Class in Materia Medica had a quiz Wednesday. The Pharmaceutical society will hold a meeting in the lecture room this afternoon. Mr. Baker, of Mikado fame, visited the Laboratory Tuesday. All About That Book. Some time ago, after the president of the Oratorical Association had signed, Mr. Street called on the president and asked him to loan him (Mr. Street) the Secretary's book long enough to look up some points in the constitution. The request was compiled with, of course, supposing them to be honest and fair. Meanime Street held a sub rosa meeting and elected himself secretary, and he now refused to return them to the proper owner. Wednesday night Mr. Mushrush, who is chairman of the executive committee, called and asked to see the book. When it was shown to him, of course, took charge of it. An hour later a large crowd assembled on Mount Oread, but for what purpose we do not know. Mr. Street, however, entered the house and demanded the book, using such ungentlemanny language that Mr. Mushrush, Sr., was compelled to remove him from the house.

The new interest that is being taken in the various literary organizations clearly demonstrates this. We gratefully acknowledge the receipt of a large bundle of back numbers of the COURIER, sent to us by J. D. McLaren. We hope soon to have all of the COURIERS from beginning to date conveniently bound in volumes for the use of students in the library. THE Washburn Reporter accuses us of clipping from its columns without giving due credit. If this has ever been done, it was an oversight, for we should indeed feel humiliated to publish as original any thing that had been written by the brainless chumps that edit the Reporter. FROM a casual reading of the college papers from all parts of the country, the interest in oratory seems to be at low ebb. Athletic contests, last spring in Eastern colleges, were of such an interesting nature that students have not ceased thinking and talking about them. In this connection we may urge our own speakers to make thorough preparation for the local contest. Let us have more speakers this year. Let all who have any ambition in this direction enter for the contest. Even those who fail will have gained much training. THERE is one thing that the Courier desires to call attention to and which should interst every student. At the recent Y. M. C. A. state convention held in Abilene, the University, the head of the educational institutions of Kansas, sent but one delegate, while little colleges, not much better than high schools, sent three, four and five. It is to the interest of us all to see that our University is largely represented in such meetings. The delegate we sent was a very able one but we should have had a dozen there. We ought to have shown the whole convention that the State University leads in Y. M. C. A. work as it does in all other things. Oratorical Meeting. The question may be asked, "Why spend time in bringing to light supposed sixth century manuscripts of half completed English poems, when the average student can not find time to read a few of the modern authors?"—Times. The above fully illustrates the scholarly attainments and high appreciation of literature possessed by the Times. And especially does it appear the more ridiculous when it is known that the "half completed English poems" referred to, are donations to our library from a noted man in this state who has always taken an active interest in the welfare of K. S. U., and is now placing many valuable works in the library at his own expense. What would be the feelings of this man could he see such appreciation of his gifts! No doubt he would feel proud that his benefactions bad been bestowed upon such an intelligent(?) and appreciative(?) lot of students as the Times represents. But, fortunately, the limited circulation of this "representative sheet" of K. S. U. forbids the possibility of its ever reaching the gentleman's notice. It is to be hoped that the Times will endeavor to cultivate a small amount of literary taste, enough at least to enable it to criticise justly and intelligently. And that in the future when speaking of things concerning which it knows nothing, it will at least have the good grace not to speak ill of them. Finally, we would recommend it to spend a part of each day in considering the fact that "beggars should not be choosers" and that "benefactors should be revered." Room No.11 was crowded Tuesday morning when Dent Hogeeboom called the meeting to order. Otis and Street were nominated for temporary secretary. A roll call was demanded, and Street put in a claim for the secretaryship until a successor was elected, on the ground that he had been elected by the executive committee, which consisted of Mushrush, Kellog and himself. The election was held during the absence of the chairman, Mushrush, and without his knowledge. The friends of Otis protested that it was the business of the presiding officer to appoint a temporary secretary. However the point was allowed to pass, and Street commenced to call the roll. The name of Brewster was omitted and Street refused to insert the name. Mr. Brewster presented a share signed by the president and secretary. Mr. Street had sold the share caused by the vacancy of Mr. Brewster's share (which the secretary gravely announced he had annulled) to Mr. Taylor, and had recorded it, although it lacked the signature of the president, which, according to the constitution, is necessary to make a legal share. In the good humored confusion which followed, L. A. Stebbins surprised his admirers by announcing that he claimed a vote because he was an honorary member of the state association. After the laughter had subsided, the meeting adjourned. in the speech that is attributed to him in the circular just sent out by Messrs. Stebbins, Harrington, Bestrop, Draper and Allison. This is the circular in which those undersigning it accuse Gen. Rice of promising that Canfield should be discharged in the event of Humphrey's election. Among the number of duck shooting parties Saturday were those of Herbert Armstong, Frank Edson and Ed Bassett, who took in the ducks at the lake, and the party of Pickering, Hadley and Deverell, who annihilated the creatures up the river. Political Science Club. At 8 p.m. last Friday, instead of 7:30, as at first intended, the Political Science Club met in Professor Canfield's room. Ed Martindale had a commendable paper on the Senate, and Mr. Scharder on the House Proceedings. Miss Mamie Pugh's paper on Pauperism was much appreciated by the club. Mr. White reported on Immigration and John Mushrush expounded Finance and Industry. The entire program was carried out except that Street was too busy with oratorical schemes to be present. UNIVERSITY POLITICS. Republican Club. The University Republicans deny attn Gen. Rice made the remak At the hall of the Young Men's Republican club, University club assembled Tuesday night and held another rousing meeting, seeming all the more enthusiastic on account of the fray that was promised for the following night. Mr. Martindale presided on account of the absence of President Wilmoth. Ackley, Workman, Pomeroy and Martindale warmed up on the subject of the grand old party. Mr. Wheeler closed the program with a song. The club now meets regularly on Tuesday night, instead of Friday night. THE JOINT DISCUSSION. A. L. Wilmoth, president of the Republican club and Dick Horton, president of the Tariff Reform presided. The first speaker was Mr. C. E. Street, who compared the periods of free trade and protection in this country, and the English laborer with the American. Harvey F. Bear was the next speaker. Mr. Bear said if the manufacturer could be supposed to pay higher wages in proportion to his profits, the theory that protection increased the price of labor would probably have some foundation. Mr. Bear referred to the Carnegie iron-works and others, and closed by reading extracts from the works of Rebublican writers and speakers. Mr. J. Wade, the next speaker compared the wages of American citizens with the wages of the laborers in free trade countries, and showed that the condition of the country during the free trade periods was not as prosperous as the democrats maintained. He described the condition of affairs during these periods. Mr Cooper closed the argument for for the negative by describing the benefit free trade had given to England. The next joint discussion of the political clubs will be on the 3rd of November. The question will be "Resolved, that Protection does not benefit the American farmer." Dr. Lippincott's Return. The Chancellor got back from his two weeks trip Tuesday,and expressed himself as well pleased with it. While away, he visited the Mound Training school at St Louis, the Smithsonian Institute at Washington, the University of Pennsylvania and Princeton College. He was present at the laying of the corner stone of the new library of the University of Pennsylvania. Mrs. Sutliff's Lunch. Wednesday afternoon Mrs. Junius Sutliff entertained a number of her young friends, many of whom were University people. Mrs. Sutliff entertained in her usual delightful manner. Those present were Mesdames March, Jones, Pierson, Hutchins, Spencer, Ambler, Bailey, Tisdale, Marvin, Love, Beatty, Robinson, Esterly, Henly, Little, Hadley, Grovenor, Hanscomb, Lloyd Miller, Franklin, Van Hoesen, Sterling, H.

Justice rendered to this wonderfully gifted woman would be extravagant praise if applied to almost any other actress upon the American stage. Beautiful of face, faultless of form, queenly of presence and perennially great in art, her imperishable work in roles has made her name a monument in art and has contributed as much as any other cause to keep alive the public interest in those ideal women of the stage whose survival is the safeguard of the legitimate drama. Since her debut in 1877 she has never lowered her exalted genius to the enactment of a single unclassical role, and for this reason if no other she deserves the respect of every earnest admirer of true dramatic art. The name of Marie Prescott has ever been synonymous with all that is finished in art, and will remain transcendant in public esteem as long as a Rosalind has wiles to charm, a Portia grandeur to exalt or a Juliet tragic force to awe or electrify. On Monday evening of next week this distinguished artiste will be seen at Bowersock opera house as Portia in The Merchant of Venice, of which character she is the most noted exponent now upon the stage.
