Prof. J. H. Canfield returned last Friday from a two week's trip throughout the eastern and southern States. His trip was one of business, attended with pleasure, being made almost wholly in behalf of the National Educational Association. He reports the people of Nashville preparing to give to the teachers, a general "Southern welcome." He is greatly impressed with the rapid advancement made in the public school system of the south. The southern educators look with favor upon the Blair Educational bill but prefer to have the money expended without national supervision. While southern colleges are not equal to the older eastern colleges, they are full of energetic, wide-awake, students and promise much for the future of the New South. The Professor returns more than ever satisfied with Kansas and her schools, and he is more thoroughly a Kansan than ever before. In 1890 there will most probably be held an Inter-National Educational meeting at Toronto, which will take the place of the Annual Educational meeting.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

How a Swedish Prince Put Down a Purse-
Proud Old Nobleman.
LAST OF HIS RACE.
A good story is told of a purseproud old nobleman who was traveling through the rural districts of Sweden. Over in that country the people do not have quite as much respect for the titled aristocracy as in some other localities on the continent. One day this nobleman came rolling up to a country tavern, and as he stopped his carriage he called out in an imperious tone:
"Horses, tandlord; horses here at once."
"I am very much pained to inform you that you will have to wait over an hour before fresh horses can be brought in." replied the landlord.
"How!" violently exclaimed the nobleman, "this to me. My man, I demand horses at once."
Then observing the fre sh and sleek-looking horses which were being led up to another carriage, he said:
"They were ordered for this gentleman," answered the landlord, pointing to a tall, slim individual a few paces distant.
"For whom are those horses?"
"I say, my man," called out the nobleman to the silm gent. "will you let me have those horses if I pay you a liberal bonus therefor?"
"Not much," answered the slim gent, "I intend to use them myself." "This to me!" exclaimed the noble man.
"That's what I said," replied the slim man.
"Perhaps you are not aware who I am!" roared the now thoroughly agitated and frate nobleman. "I am, sir, Field-Marshal Baron George Sparre, the last and only one of my race."
"I am very glad to hear that," said the slim man, stepping into his carriage. "It would be a terrible thing to think that there might be more of you coming. I am inclined to think that your race will be a foot race."
The slim man was a brother of the King of Sweden — Texas Siftings.

"Is that the second bell?" queried a drummer, as the hotel man across the way sounded hisong.
"No, they don't ring but one bell over there," replied the grocer.
"Why, you're mistaken, I—."
"Have you any cigars on it?"
"A dozen?"
"John." calling to a colored porter, "do they ring two bells at the Rhodes House?"
"No, sah; dey don't, sah; dey rings the same bell twicet!"—Detroit Free Press.

Dear Sir;—In April, 1884 I suddenly received notice that my ordination examination would be held in a fortnight, so many of the students should be admitted for the Exam, should recommend a year's preparation in the case of any one so utterly unprepared as I was; but your system had so strengthened my math skills that I would have been able to give the gist of any book after reading it once. I therefore read Lightfoot, Predictor Harold Hancock and read many books that were successful in every one of the nine papers. The present Bishop of Edinburgh knows the facts.

The Riverside Mandolin club, assisted by several of K. S. U.'s best musicians, will furnish music for the Oratorio contest.
A number of the students are looking ahead for "locations." They do not care (?) to continue their work at the University after this term.
Would it not be well for the faculty to secure special rates on the railroads for the benefit of the students who go home after the examinations?
Prof. Hudson gave his first dancing lesson last Monday evening at the K. of P. Hall. A number of University students were in attendance.
How did you get along? Did you pass? Was not that examination unreasonably hard? These are common questions asked by the victims of the professor's cruelty.

Prof. Snow has prepared an article for the Biennial Report of the State Board of Agriculture on the "Chinch bug and his diseases." This will be of great importance and interest to the farmers o this State.
The Baldwin oratorical contest takes place next Monday evening with four contestants: Namely, Hyden, Priestly, Foster and Sears. The Baldwin people seem to be of the opinion that Foster will be another victim for K. S. U.'s modern "Cicero."
Miss Lourina Grove, of Beatrice, Neb., will enter the Pharmacy course this term. She is an intimate friend of Prof. Sayre and comes from a medical family. Her father is a physician, practicing, as is also a sister, who graduated from the Philadelphia Medical college while the Professor held a chair in that institution.
The following University professors were recently appointed members of the Kansas State Board of Agriculture, Prof. P. H. Snow, Entomologist; Prof's W. H. Carruth and L. E.

The Oratorical Association difficulty has not yet reached a settlement. The arbitration committee has been delayed by petty questions raised by some of the parties whose shares are in controversy.

The Kent Club met last evening and gave the following program: Current Events, Spooner; Current Decisions, Westout; Declamation, Finfrock; Extemporaneous Speeches, Harburger and Workman.

Affirmative: Herdman and Pollock; negative: Wayde and Ackley.
The Freshman and Sophomore elocution classes will be conducted next term by Prof. Saunderson instead of by Professors Marsh and Dunlap as done heretofore. The students who contemplate taking elocution will doudless be pleased to learn this, as the Professors of the English department have all the work that they can attend to without this additional work. Prof. Saunderson is of course well fitted for the work and will make this branch of study a success.
To-morrow the long and hard fought fight over the Oratorical Association will be decided and the officers to take charge of the contest next Tuesday evening will be elected. Of course it is impossible to tell at this time how it will be settled, but that will not diminish the success of the contest at all. The present set of officers have made all arrangements and the new set of officers will have comparatively little work to do. Everything is ready for the biggest contest we have ever had.

AMUSEMENTS.
Reftrow's "Jolly Pathfinders" will hold the boarde at the opera house all of next week, in a repotuce of musical comedies, at popular prices. The company is deserving, the plays clear and sparkling, and will afford a good week's enjoyment. The Quincy, Ily., Daily Journal says of them: "Theatre-goers yesterday witnessed performances, matinee and evening, by Reftrow's Jolly Pathfinders. The company rendered a musical melange program, consisting of a sketch entitled "The Foot of the Family," and a one-act complication christianed appropriately "Scrap." There are no Lottas among the ladies, or Good-wins among the gentlemen. In the dramatic firmament none of the Pathfinders shine as fixed, dazzling stars. But their entertainment is free from vulgarity. It is clean, bright, newish, entertainment. The performances were each well attended, and on each occasion were liberally applauded, the audience-at times growing enthusiastic in the bestowal of plaudits. The company is evenly balanced, spirited, and evidently intent on leaving a good name in towns visited. It has left an excellent reputation and impression in Quincy, and will again do a large business when it favors Quincy with another visit.
Examinations.
The examinations in the Political Science department will be given as follows: Friday, Colonial History, from 9 to 10:45; Finance and Diplomacy, 10:45 to 12; Monday, Constitution and Political History, (first year) 9 to 12; Banking and Finance, 12 to 1.15; Tuesday, Constitution and Political History (second year), 9 to 12; Wednesday, Political Economy, 9 to 12. Prof. Canfield intends by these examinations, which will be both practical and beneficial to the student, to ascertain if the students have done the required amount of reading in the library, and woe to the person who is weighed in the balance and found wanting.
Drophilian.
Owing to examinations, the society will not meet to-night. With the beginning of the new term literary work will be carried on by the society with renewed vigor.

The State Normal School is getting out a complete history of that institution, which is indeed a commendable enterprise.
OWING to the fact that some the TIMES staff could not get settled to work last week so soon after the vacation, our readers were served to a very unpleasant dish, that of plate matter.
PROF. MARSH and the University seems to be a fit and pleasing subject of comment by the Kansas editors. When it comes to the booming of Kansas and her institutions, the journalists "are one and insuperable."
Kansas City Journal: When Harvard comes to the University of Kansas for a man to fill the chair of belles lettres. New England may well gasp for breath. Bostonians will soon be sending their sons to Western colleges.
P. P. CAMPBELL, now a Journal clerk of the senate, has an opportunity to wreak vengeance upon his old enemy. K. S. U., and it would be well for the friends of the University to have an eye upon the actions of the eminent gentle man.

THE clipping from the Topcaa Capital-Commonwealth on the University shows that the great Kansas daily is friendly towards the leader of Kansas educational institutions. When the prominent journals of the State join in the good cause, dear old K. S. U. is sure to receive kind treatment from the Kansas lawmakers. May the good work go on.
THE NATION: Universities, like all other things which grow and cannot suddenly be made to order, have to be plant-
in congenial soil. They have to strike their roots in a sympathetic community which sets a high value on culture, and has a strong sense of its political and social importance * * * * * * * no university has anywhere or ever become a great influence, or anything but a school for children, which was not wholly or almost wholly in the hands of the Faculty. The Faculty is the University. If you have the right sort of a faculty, you have a University, though you have only a tent to lecture in. If, on the other hand, you try to make a University out of a board of sagacious business men acting as trustees, and treat the Professors as simply "hired men."bound to give the college so many hours a week, you may have a very good school for youths, but you will get no enlightening influence or force out of it for the community at large. Instead of speaking with authority on any of the great themes of the day, the college will then be sneered at, as colleges are apt to be in the United States, as the home of theorists and pedants whose impudence in differing in opinion from millionaires merits and is sure to receive severe rebuke.
State Journal: Prof. A. R. Marsh, of the chair of English literature in the State University, at Lawrence, is in the city. Prof. Marsh has been tendered and has accepted the chair of English literature in Harvard college, an unprecedented honor to one of Kansas' most gifted young scholars. The position was last occupied by America's foremost poet, Henry W. Longfellow, and has been vacant since his resignation some years ago. The position is yet the more honorable as it has been occupied by James Russell Lowell and Ralph Waldo Emerson. To follow in the footsteps of such a trinity of scholars and literateurs is certainly to reach the pinnacle of the ambition of any scholar. Professor Marsh is a graduate of Harvard, and, previous to his connection with the State University, was a tutor in that eminent institution. He severs his connection with the University in June, and Harvard has given him a two years' trip in Europe for study previous to assuming the duties of his chair. Prof Marsh is a young man, being scarcely over thirty. The people of Kansas feel a personal gratification that one of them should be so highly honored, and especially in the world of letters.
A VIEW.
From the joint meeting of the two literary societies last Friday night it is plainly seen that the something is needed. We need a lecture room that will comfortably seat 300 to 500 persons There is at present no such room available. The University Hall is too large for a great many gatherings that are held on the bill. While the recitation rooms are altogether too small. Now there are two ways in which this evil might be overcome. It would cost but a small sum and it would not injure the looks nor acoustic properties of the large hall to fix a rolling partition so that only the front part of the hall could be used on ordinary occasions. This arrangement would cause no inconvenience, because the room thus cut off could and would be plenty large enough for the chapel exercises and would also be large enough for such assemblies as the one just passed. The second way to do away with this fault is to fit a room in the upper story of Snow Hall. But it seems at present the first plan proposed we
Now we want a piano, and a good one too, that can be permanently kept in University Hall for use on all and every occasion that a meeting is held therein. This last want is an almost absolute necessity and it has been lamented time and again that we have no good piano for public entertainments. We have other wants, but these two will suffice for one time.

THE STATE UNIVERSITY.
Senator Moody is the watchdog of the state's educational interests and he will keep his eye on the senate to see that it does the fair thing by the "young idea" in Kansas. There is every indication that the university, the colleges and the schools are looked upon by members of both houses as among the most precious of the state's possessions.
Any legislation proposed to effect an improvement in the government of educational institutions is of prime importance to the state and will receive special consideration. Two bills of this character, supplemental to each other, have already been introduced by Senator Moody.
One of these, senate bill 27, provides for the government of the University of Kansas and is quite extensive, containing sixteen sections.
Among other things it provides that all preparatory work within the University shall cease after the close of the current year. Senator Moody's other bill, referred to below, prescribes a substitute for this work to be carried on in the public schools.
Other sections of the first bill provide an entire syftem of government, in the main features similar to the present system. The secretary and treasurer of the University are to be selected outside the board of regents. The law now prevailing prescribes that the treasurer shall be a member of the board, but in view of the fact that no salary is provided for him no member of the board can be secured to perform the duties of the position. As a consequence the law is violated and no attention is paid to its violation. The new bill provides more fairly in this regard.
Another feature of the bill affects the pay of Regents, not changing the amount of salary but the method of securing it. At present Regents are paid 10 cents per mile, and $3 a day during the time actually devoted to the duties of their regency. Senator Moody takes the premium from their palace car privileges secured in milage by reducing that to 3 cents a mile, and puts it on brain work, giving them $5 a day for the work done.
The bill was carefully discussed at a meeting of the faculty and other friends of the University at Judge Thacher's residence in Lawrence last week and its provisions met with general and hearty approval. The tendency of the bill is believed by those best acquainted with the needs and possibilities of the University to be for its best interests. Senator Moody has a letter from Judge Thacher expressing his pleasure in the bill and his hope that it will not fail to pass.
Prof. Suew, of the University, called on Senator Moody one night this week and informed him that a chaplet of laurels for his brow was being prepared by the faculty and would be placed upon him as soon as the bill should become law.
It is the intention to put the University of Kansas on a plane as high as any educational institution in the land, with facilities unsurpassed and a curriculum that will provide the youth of Kansas with a broad and full culture in every department of study.
Senator Moody's other educational bill S. B. 26) requires a uniform system of instruction for students in all cities of the first and second classes and cities of the third class having 1,000 inhabitants, to prepare them for admission to the State University.
It prescribes that the chancellor of the University shall furnish to the State Superintendent of public instruction a schedule of the prescribed studies preparatory to admission in all the courses established in the University and designating the proficiency demanded for admission to the freshman class. And the state superintendent shall send a copy of this schedule to the secretaries of the boards of education in all cities referred to in the bill. When a student has completed satisfactorily the studies prescribed for admission he shall be given a certificate to that effect, which, however, shall not admit him to the University without a further examination unless the faculty decide otherwise.
The passage of the bill will be of great assistance to the public school teachers in preparing students to enter the University. —Capital Commonwealth.
THE ORATORICAL CONTEST.
The contest seems to be the centre of interest for K. S. U. just now. The fight for the control of the Association has brought it into more prominence than ever before, and the ability of those intending to participate in the contest.
Mr. Culver, though a new man in the oratorical contests here, is an experienced orator, having participated in several contests in Colorado, and has always a high place. To the members of Orophilian nothing need be said for Mr. Reed's ability, but for those who have never heard him, we will say that Mr. Reed enjoys the reputation of being one of the best orators K. S. U. has produced. Although Mr. Kennedy has never figured very prominently in oratorical affairs, whatever he has given has always been excellent; and he makes the other contestants feel uneasy for their laurels.
Mr. Mushrush is so well known that it is perhaps unnecessary to say anything of his ability, while Mr. Street, as everybody knows, is a natural born orator.
With five contestants of such ability, it is no wonder that everybody is interested and wants to go. The students should secure their seats early, so that they may be where they can give the most encouragement to the orators, for a great deal in the State contest will depend on the encouragement given our orator here. Next Tuesday evening at 8 o'clock should find every student of the University in the chapel, ready to applaud the successful orator.
Prof. Dyche's Trip.
Other specimens procured were four complete buffalo skeletons, together with skulls, horns, etc. Four big grey wolves, two large lynxes, three swifts or prairie foxes, four antelopes, two coyotes and a lot of miscellaneous skins, etc., were among the things procured.
Prof. Dyche returned last Tuesday evening after a three weeks trip to Texas on an expedition after specimens for the museum. The Professor had a very successful yet fatiguing trip. He went by rail to Liberal, Kansas, and from there on horseback about 200 miles across the Neutral strip into Northern Texas. His ride across the plains, without a guide or water is the adventure of a founder of the University museum. On arriving at his destination, he found that offers from the London museum and the American museum had been made for the specimens in question but he succeeded in securing what he wanted. The Professor's acquisitions are quite large and made about half of a car load. The most valuable specimens are eleven large buffalo preserved and procured for taxidermic purposes. These were the last of the wild American Bison and the noble North American animal of which poets and Indian fighters so much loved to sing is now a thing of the past. Only a few which have been domesticated remain in scattering herds. The State University is the only Kansas institution that has had fore sight enough to secure specimens of these mammals for their museums.
It is now possible for us to have a museum unexcelled in the world. With such a large number of rare specimens on hand, they can be exchanged, if desired, for other valuable ones, which can neither be bought for "love nor money."
K. S. U. now has material on hand for groups of buffalo, black bear, grizzly bear, elk, Rocky Mountain sheep, antelope, black-tailed deer, white-tailed deer, grey wolves, coyotes, lynxes, foxes, swifts, and many smaller animals. Arrangements have been made by which moose, Rocky Mountain goats and many other of the larger animals of North America can be procured.
Prof. Dyche has done much to build up the collection in the Natural History Department. He is a graduate of the University and is quite a young man, and there is much in store for him, as he already has the reputation of being a taxidermist who has few equals and no superiors.
Professors Snow and Dyche and the State of Kansas are to be congratulated upon what is in store for the Uniwersity museum in the future.

Philological Club.
Last Friday evening was given up to a Symposium on Philological handbooks. Prof. Wilcox spoke of the encyclopedic character of the times, the tendency to gather together into a single publication the intellectual acquisitions of the past, and the necessity and advantages of such a tendency. The specialist is thus enabled to get a knowledge of the development of the great whole, as also of the separate branches of the science in which he is working but an insignificant platt; and the student to put himself abreast of the time in his chosen line without having to wade through the myriad monographs in all languages. These general works may be in the dictionary or alphabetical form, or in the more systematic form, where more attention is paid to the conception and divisions of the science, as well as the position and significance of its branches.
It is about 100 years since F. A. Wolff delivered a course of lectures on the conception and contents, the relations and aims of the classical studies. So Dr. Iwan Mueller thought it a good time to gather together the results of the numerous workers before and after Wolff, and publish them in a systematic handbook der classischen alterthumswissenschaft. This when completed will comprise eight large volumes with about 6,000 pages in all. Our library is getting the volumes as they appear. About two-thirds of the work is now out. Twenty-one different subjects are treated by twice as many different men, the Greek and Roman branch of each subject having a different author. The subjects are: The Fundamental Principles and History of Classical Philology, Exegesis and Criticism, Palacecography, Epigraphy, the Calendar, Weights and Measures, Grammur, Lexicography, Rhetoric, Metric, Music, Geography, Topography, Political History, History of Literature, General Antiquities Mathematics and Natural Science, Philosophy, Mythology, Art. the Theater.
Prof. Marsh spoke of the Manuel de Philologie classical, a book intended to set forth the fundamental principles of every line of classical philology, and will show how and where to get the material for study. This manual is very much smaller than Mueller's Hambuck, and hence less full, and more of a guide than an exposition.
Prof. A. G. Canfield spoke of two works one completed and the other in course of publication, which are intended to give a complete survey of the philology of the romance language. The first of these is a book especially designed for students who are beginning their special study of these languages, by Prof Koerting an Encyclopedia of Romance Philology, with the treatise on the method of its study. The other is a more elaborate work, to which twenty-nine of the best specialists contribute, under the editorship of Prof. Groeber of Strasburg. This is to be completed in six parts, and will contain pretty much all that we at present know about the subject to which it is devoted.
Mr. Dunlap spoke of Koerting's Encyclopaedie and Methodologie der English Philologie which includes every important topic connected with the subject. Appended to each chapter is a discriminating bibliography. He spoke also of Prof. Cook's pamphlet on the Phonological investigation of Old English, in which Prof. Cook lays down 50 problems carefully worked out, so as to show the main rules of English Phonology- The pamphlet is valuable as suggesting methods to the student.
Orophilian--Athanaeum.
The joint meeting held by the two above named societies was a grand success. Long before 8 o'clock last Friday evening, every seat in the Athenaeum hall was occupied, where-upon the society adjourned to the University chapel. A very large and appreciative audience greeted the members of the program. H. White was the first on the program and read an excellent essay on a "Girl of College." Mr. White is a pleasing writer and handled his subject in an able manner G. Holsinger, as chairman of the meeting, introduced Miss Flora Newlin, who favored the audience with a declamation, "The Snow," in a very pleasing and artistic manner. Miss Newlin is a declaim-
er of no little ability and power and gave to the audience an exhibition of what the young ladies of K. S. U. are capable of doing. E. M. Mumford, in a very carefully prepared oration gave an outline of the life and character of Gen Ben. Harrison Mr. Mumford is a forcible speaker and with carefully selected words and pointed sentences clearly expressed his opinion of our next president. The debate, Resolved, That the Oklahoma territory should be opened for settlement was discussed by Messers. E. L. Ackley and C. M. Enns of Orophillian society and C. S. Hall and R. D. Ross of Athenaeum. The gentlemen are all famed debaters and have put much time and study upon preparing their discussion and the Times venture to say that the audience has never before heard this question, the Indian question discussed in such an able and logic manner. The societies are to be congratulated upon the success of the meeting and every one who availed themselves o the opportunity of attending, make the inquiry of "Why not have these meetings oftener?"

The TIMES is always glad to note the successes of the University students and so gladly gives space to the following letter from an ex-member of the class of '87. Mr. McMillan while at the University was recognized as a brilliant man and none of his classmates will be surprised at the rapid advance he has made in his chosen work.
LOS ANGELES, Dec. 18, 1888.
MY DEAR
A circular letter signed by yoursett and four others dated Lawrence October 9th, relative to an attack on Prof. Canfield reaches me to-day. It was addressed to me at Council Grove, Kansas. I reply at this late day merely to assure you that as an old time student, I agree with you fully in your estimate of Professor Canfield's worth as a man and his value to the institution in the department he so ably represents. Professor Canfield was the man who induced me to attend the University. I met him on one of his tours of the State, at Council Grove. I feel under a personal obligation for the service he rendered me at that time—An obligation which close association with him strengthened as time went on. He has made himself and the University known throughout the State and beyond the State by the breadth and scope of his views and the institution can not afford to lose him. So much for the subject matter of your circular. I have changed my base of operation from Kansas to California and find the latter state more desirable in every respect. I am fast losing recollection of K. S. U., names as they now appear. Almost all of my old friends are gone. Yours is the only name on the circular that I recognize. I suppose you are about through. I have had no cause for complaint in the matter of progress in a business way, though I will always regret that I did not have an opportunity to graduate with my class. And now chief clerk of Gen'l Freight Department of the roads above California Central and California Southern named at $150 per month with very good prospect of advancement.

Some few days ago Miss Cockins and Mr. Woodard formerly clerk of the University. Mr. Woodard is now working in our Auditing department.

Palladium: An Opinion.
While it is with pleasure that we note the increasing interest in the literary work of the University, yet we cannot think that it is either necessary or for the best that any of this interest should manifest itself by the organization of a new society.
It is not necessary because all the members which Palladium now has or is likely to have would have sufficient opportunity to cultivate their literary talent by joining either Athenaeum or Orophilian. Not only would they have sufficient opportunity to cultivate this talent, but they would have a better opportunity because they would be placed upon the program of either of the old societies, at least once a month, and while they might come on the program of Palladium oftener, yet we think that once a month is as often as a student with the average University work can prepare a good exercise to be presented before a society and in accordance with the old maxim, that whatever we do we should do well, we believe it would be better for a student to present one creditable exercise in a month than two poor ones.
Neither is the organization of this society for the best because it tends to do that very thing which we should try to avoid; the increase of party spirit. We do not think that either of the old societies suffer from the fact that it has 'frats' among its members. Nor do we think that any member of either of these societies suffer, so far as opportunity of improvement in literary work is concerned, from the fact that he is not a member of a fraternity, and for the benefit of any who may fear that if they join the old societies they will not be able to obtain office because they are not "frats", we will say that more than half of the officers of Athenaeum are "barbs" and perhaps the same is true of Orophilian. It has been said that neither the devil nor the Democratic party are as black as they have been painted, and we think the same will apply to the fraternities in reference to their effects on the literary societies.
We hope this literary work will continue to increase and that it will not be wasted in attempting to maintain to many societies.

Until lately all our educational plans have assumed man to be merely sedentary being; we have employed teachers of music and drawing to go from school to school to teach those elegant arts, but have had none to teach the art of health. Thomas Wentworth Higginson, Atlantic Monthly.
Time and experience have convinced me of an imperious demand in the circumstances of an academic life, for immediate and efficient action on this subject. Many of our students come from farms, mechanic shops, and other active occupations; to the hard and sedentary habits of college. Physical exercise is neglected, the laws of health are violated, the protests and exhortations of instructors and other friends are unheeded. The once active student soon becomes physically indolent, his mental powers become dulled, his movement and appearance indicate physical deterioration. By the time the students have reached the Junior year, many of them are broken down and every year some lives are sacrificed.—W. A. Stearns, D. D., of Amherst College.

A BRILLIANT IDEA
Mr. Poe, of Butler county, yesterday introduced in the House the following resolution:
Resolved. That the committee on State affairs be directed to ascertain and report to this house at as early a day as possible, whether it is a fact that the British doctrine of free trade is taught at the State University at Lawrence, and by whom, and that they report by bill or otherwise what if any legislation is necessary to abolish the English titles of "Queen Camelot" ("Dame and "Rigent", or "rulers", in the absence of a king, and submittate in lieu thereof, the American titles of "Professors" and "Trustees" for the officers of said institutions of the State of Kansas, to whom British titles are given by laws of this State."
WHEREAS. The people of the State of Kansas have decided by a majority of 80,000 that they are in favor of protection to American industries, and are opposed to the doctrine of British free trade, therefore be it
Let the good work go on! Let the committee on State affairs prune closely, and see that no trace is left of thoughts, words, deeds, principles or institutions of our ancestors. And let it conclude its labor by enacting that the House Chaplain's pay will be forfeited if he uses the "British" Lord's Praver.
Then let the bill pass both houses unanimously. — *Tribune*.

Rentfuw's Jolly Pathfinders played at the Library Hall last night to a good audience. The entertainment consisted of two plays, "Rural Simplicity" and "Scraps," both of which were full of fun and kept the audience in a roar of laughter. The actors were well up in their respective parts, and fully sustained the good reputation they came to as a part of the play, last night the character of Kitty Meersell, and delighted the audience with his songs and imitations. Master Jones is a remarkable young comedian and is worthy the attention of the public.

FOREIGN GOSSIP.
- Two English daily papers have been forbidden sale or circulation in Turkey because they exposed the Sultan's drunkenness and coawaincy.
—Lord Walsingham pays a shilling for every pheasant shot on his Merton estate, and the sum realized is devoted to reducing the rents of his cottagers.
☐—Some of the brick houses erected in England two hundred years ago are so cemented together that the walls have to be blown down with gunpowder when the site is wanted for something modern.
—Until quite recently no blacksmith in the north of England would drive a nail on Friday, the anniversary of the crucifixion, and no edged tool was used in Yorkshire, nor was it any thing but unlucky to wash clothes on that day.
Capital punishment has been abolished in Italy. This was done in Switzerland some seven years ago, but the result was not regarded as satisfactory, and capital punishment was again enacted. It is curious that it should now be abandoned in Italy, where the murder rate is the highest in Europe.
— Birmingham, England, has been a borough for fifty years, though it has 440,000 inhabitants. Now she wants to be a city, and as only the Queen can transform a town into a city, Birmingham, through its town council, is going to implore Her Majesty to bestow this favor.
—British reform has brought to light a forgotten personage known as "Chaff Wax." His real title should be Chafe Wax, and his duty was the preparation of wax for fitting the writs issued from the Court of Chancery and for the official seals. He has long drawn a salary for doing nothing, but he has at last been found out and will be abolished.
—An incident is related in a London paper of a Welsh preacher who started on the cars to fulfill an engagement. When the conductor came for his ticket he had forgotten to bring it, and had also forgotten his money. What was worse, he had forgotten where he was going. It was found impossible to suggest to him any station that seemed to be the right one, and he had to telegraph home to have his friends look into his diary and send him word where he was going. Word came and he was started on all right.
The Dominion of Canada will adopt the chief features of our banking system. In 1890 radical changes will be made in the federal banking system of Canada. The principal change will be the adoption of an amendment authorizing the government to practically control the issue of legal tender and correspondingly restricting the issue of notes by the various chartered banks. The change will be borrowed from the American banking system.
—In Germany apothecaries are not allowed to sell miscellaneous articles, on the ground that such sales are likely to divert the clerk's attention from the delicate duty of compounding medicines. There are drug stores where miscellaneous articles are for sale, but no prescriptions can be prepared in them, under severe penalties. Poisonous articles are kept in a room reserved exclusively for them.
—A copy of the Bartholdi Liberty Statue, the funds for which were raised by subscription in the United States, is to be set up on the point of the Ile des Cygnes (Swan's Island), in the Seine, opposite Meudon and Sevres, about five miles from Paris. They have begun to lay the foundations for the pedestal, and expect to have the monument completed before the expiration of a year. The work is a reduction of that on Bedloe's Island, the height of the figure being twelve meters (about forty feet) while that of the gigantic original is 154 feet.
A CAT'S ADVENTURES.
Pussy Travels Eight Days to Get Back to Old Friends.
A vessel visited Garliestown Harbor, the captain of which had a favorite cat that hunted at will over the ship, and amply repaired board and lodging by the destruction of rats as well as mice. Tired, however, of the sea and its perils, puss gave her old friends the slip by landing unnoticed, and established, without leave asked or given, her headquarters in the garden attached to the principal village inn. Here, however, she was a welcome guest to all, save the small birds that hop among the twigs of trees in summer. She entered the house occasionally, and was fed regularly for a periot of nearly five months; but some farm er friend having seen and taken fancy to the stranger, she was dis patched far inland, packed in a basket to diminish the probabilities, if no possibilities, of ever finding her way back again.
But puss repudiated the idea of becoming a thrall at pleasure; the home assigned might be all very well in its own way, but its novelties she liked not; the moors were too near, the hills high, and the colley dogs especially pert and uncivil. Again, therefore, she became a tramp, and at the end of ten days re-appeared at her former domicile, guided by some curious instinct, which is as useful to the feline species as the compass to the mariner. The old folks were surprised, and the young ones delighted at puss' return, while all admired the sleekness and plumpress of the far-traveled mouser. After a little time notes were compared, from which it appeared that the cat had been eight days o., the road, shifting as she best could, and in a district where muircocks and plovers were rife, observing carefully the old maxim: "As we journey through life, let us live by the way."—N. Y. Ledger.

Notice has been posted on the bulletin board for a students' meeting on Friday evening between 7 and 8. The purpose of the meeting is to sing college songs, regular old-fashioned, break-down songs such as other college students enjoy so much. It remains entirely with the students, however, to make this undertaking a success. All that is required is that plenty of students shall come with a little enthusiasm in the matter. The title of the book to be used is "College Songs." They will be found in the hall. Each costs 50 cents. If the students will bring the money with them on Friday, the book will be theirs; otherwise they can not be taken from the room, as no one cares to be responsible for them. Meetings of the College Song Association will be held every two weeks throughout the year. Surely all students are interested in this movement, and we expect a good meeting on Friday.
H. D. Tucker, a prominent student ei Washburn College came down from Topeka last Tuesday evening to take in the contest. He returned somewhat doubtful if Brewster would be able to "orate our orator" at Emporia on February 8, 1889.
At the Baldwin oratorical contest last monday evening, the winning oration, "The Crisis" was delivered by Mr. Wm. Foster. Mr. Hayden won the second place. It has not been definitely settled in the minds of Baldwin people whether Mr. Foster will represent the state at Iowa City next may or not. Nevertheless it will be settled at Emporia that Mr. F. E. Reed will be the Kansas orator.

WE WOULD like to call the attention of our contemporary to the late contest, however unpleasant it may be. TIMES stockholders—first, second and third places. Convier stockholders—fourth place. Verily we possess the eloquence, as well as the brains and muscle of the institution.
Owing to the removal of the *Tribune*, the *Times* is unavoidably late this issue. Hereafter, now that we are permanently located, and with a new and energetic staff, the Times will be out on time with its usual promptness. Hoping that our readers will bear patiently with us, we again greet you all.
Hon. John K. Rankin has introduced a bill in the legislature to appropriate not more than $150,000 to erect a memorial ball in Lawrence to the soldiers of the state and the citizens of Lawrence, who defended the town against the raiders. This bill designates that the building shall be used for a Library building for
Another meeting has been held, it is needless to mention here, and another resolution adopted deploring the unhappy conditions which permit the inculcation of free trade theories at the Kans. University, and asking the legislature to use measures toward removing those who are perniciously active in sowing tares among the wheat. It is hardly necessary to explain that the pith and point of the resolution. If we admit it to have these attributes, bear directly upon Professor Canfield, a man of whom the State of Kansas and her favorite school have reason to be proud. Many times before has indignation raised its threatening form and clamored for the official head of Canfield, which it would carry on a pike, an object of derision to those whose heads are very small and a reminder to all that while opinions may be held with impunity they can be expressed in safety, sometimes, only with reserve.
The position of a true teacher requires that he avoid as much as possible giving the impression of personality to his instruction. The importance attaching to his work on this account cannot be over estimated; and because the structure he rears is for all time, those for whom he labors can hardly be too exacting. But the teacher, and even the just judge, shows through the cloak of authority and position more or less of the bias of the individual. The most scrupulously impartial teacher of history will unconsciously betray the name of his religious denomination as he takes his class through the record of those times when the cross adorned the hilt of the sword and paradise lay in its shadow.
Canfield has done no more that thus. Addresses which he may have made outside of the University have no more to do with the case than have the political intrigues and speeches of county superintendents and their teachers in giving to the education derived in the common schools a partisan complexion; no more than have the lectures of Canfield and others in changing the opinions of those who see no nearer a resemblance between the conditions which existee in the declining years of Greece and Rome and those of the present age in the United States than they are able to detect between the noonday and the night. Professor Canfield, the Rev. Annie Shaw, and others who entertain kindred ideas have yet to find their first convert to that belief among those who read history by the light of reality rather than by that of imagination.
It would therefore appear that those who apprehend and cry out against a spread of pernicious doctrine through the medium of the Kansas University are fighting a phantom of their own raising. Protection has been the right arm of the nation hitherto, and it will be its strength henceforward; but to demand the decapitation of those who do not cherish this idea is to confirm the belief of the opposition that our being "a rotten case, abides no handling."
The classes taught by Canfield have had no greater proportion of free traders than would be found among the same number of self-educated men miscellaneously thrown together.

THE SOD-HOUSE
In that sod house at night,
A fire breaks b light,
We are dotted without come and go.
And faces so bright, as the pure morning
light,
Are burned in the soft yellow glow.
'Tis only a sod-house yonder,
It stands on the prairies bleak.
And there nothing at all, on the outside
world.
That pleasure, or glory bespeak.
But what may we know from outward show?
Arpearances of times deceive,
As much we hear,
Though it seems very clear,
We may not always believe.
There it stands, and old quant,
While the smoke, curling faints,
Hear the thunder. And the good folk within,
He is the wind with a moan hurries by.
As the wind with a moan hurries by.
Far removed from grand sights,
life's sweetest delights,
rumors of our arrival we roam,
lifeline, at its best, though it be in the west,
Reminds us of childhood and home.

WEAK, wan and tired looking the TIMES made its appearance in a selfish world already overcrowded, with a labored apology for its untimely birth. Foreseeing 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.—Courier. Oct. 12, 1888.
H. Nux Nomica
And we are still here. We may have been weak, etc., but we are here to stay.
With this issue, the present editorial staff of the TIMES lays down the reins of authority to a new staff of editors, all of whom are unsurpassed by their literary ability and the TIMES readers, who have so patiently borne with our short comings and inabilities as newpaper writers, will draw a sigh of relief. While our productions have neither been able nor original, we have done all in our power to make the TIMES a representative paper.—a paper representing all factions, and a paper worthy of the recognition of all true and enthusiastic University students.
The TIMES is, and will be the leading college journal in the great State of Kansas, and with the greatest hopes for the future success of the dear little TIMES and further, the best wishes for its readers, we greet our superiors—the incoming editorial staff. Again kindly thanking the students of K. S. U. for the recognition of our limited ability by bestowing this great honor upon us we, remaining ardent supporters of the TIMES and its interests, take our leave of the editor's chair.
Mr. D. W. Poe, by no means deterred by the ridicule his resolution awakened, comes to the front with a bill to prohibit in all institutions under the charge of the State the teaching of any of the doctrines of the Cobden Club, and to substitute in all cases the title "President" for "Chancellor" and "Trustees" for "Regents." Mr. Poe is a fine looking man, and is neither a crank nor a wag, but a healthy appearing Republican who is tired of the effete airs of monarchy, one proposes to fight them out of a Republican State. As he repeatedly assured us he is a warm friend of the University and its faculty, and would do nothing to impair or injure its welfare. The University has no better friend in the Legislature than the stalwart member from Butler, Mr. Poe—Lawrence Journal.
If the impression we received from the above article is correct the Journal also makes a misstatement. It infers that "the Doctrines of the Cobden Club" are taught in some of the institutions of the State and that the University is one of them. We should think that the Journal is well enough acquainted with the University and its professor of Political Economy to know that "the doctrines of the Cobden Club" are not taught in the University.
We would advise the Journal man to go a little slow. Let him remember that he is advocating the same thing, in principle, that the British did when they prohibited our fathers from worshiping as their conscience dictated.
True the theory of free trade is discussed in the Political Economy class, but so is the theory of protection To prohibit the discussion of free trade theories, and this must be what the Journal and Mr. Poe are trying to do, would be to prohibit the study of political economy; that science, without the knowledge of which our statesmen would not be competent to administer the affairs of government. Can this be their purpose? We hope not. Let us rather suppose that, in their enthusiasm to farther the interests of protection, they have overshot their mark and that they will soon return to a realization of the true situation of affairs in the University.

The subjects treated by the University students in the oraterical contest, which was reported in the Capital-Commonwealth yesterday, indicate a high order of talent on the part of the young gentlemen named. It indicates further, that the lines of instruction at the University are extending in new directions. In India and elsewhere, it has a noise Demosthenes made when he talked to Greecians about Phillip of Macedon, or, instead of devoting time and talent to a rehearsal of events in which men and women now living take little interest, these fine young men take up living subjects and discuss living issues, and every one of them of a political character. One of them delved into our own political history in order that he would know more about the cynic in American politics; another did the probable effect of the large and growing indulgence of bad foreign blood into our body politic; the third speaker gave additional reasons for restraining dangerous immigration; the fourth man discus-
A DIAMOND KING.
The Fortune Made by Mr. Barnato in the South African Mines.
B. I. Barnato, one of the wealthiest diamond miners in the world, is a candidate for Parliament from Kimberley, and is making a bitter personal fight for the office. At a recent public meeting, in denying some statements made against him by the opposing party, Mr. Bernato related the history of his career in the colony. It reads like a page from the "Arabian Nights." He said that he came to the colony in 1873, and in 1875 he bought the first claim in Kimberley, paying a good price for it. In 1881 he owned four claims, which he floated into a company for £25,000 a claim, making with the machinery, an aggregation of £115,000. That was his first attempt to put himself in a good financial position, and he succeeded. This was called the Barnato company. In 1884 he bought the Stewart ground, paying the highest price ever given in Kimberley. Yet with that speculation alone he made £20,000. After the company passed out of his control, although the claims stood at £35,000 each, the concern paid a dividend of 9 per cent within three months, and did so at the expiration of each following quarter, until the claims at the end of nine months represented a value of £33,000 each.
In the course of time the ground became covered with reef, and a heavy mining debt was saddled upon the corporation. Mr. Barnato loaned the money to aid the company, although, as he naively admitted, "Had I put the property up at auction I could have bought it at an enormous profit. Standard shares were at £17; Kimberley Centrals, with their claims, valued at £2,000 each, were at £25, and I am convinced that I could have bought in the Barnato block with great advantage to myself. But what did I do? I am agamalgated with the Standard Mining Company, and brought the shares that originally cost £50, after four years' work, up to £150."
This will give you an idea of how wealth can be amassed in the diamond fields. Now let me, in concluding, repeat Mr. Barnato's own words regarding his present fortune. In the same speech he said: "The exports of this colony are £9,000,000. Of this, Kimberley exports one-half. Now my opponents say that I am not a fit or proper person to represent you in Parliament; but let me tell you that I represent half the exports of this colony. The diamond industry of this colony is a government within a government; and if I am fit enough to sit on the board of the consolidated mines, as holding one-eighth of the mining interest in Girquialand West, along with such men as Hon. C. J. Rhodes and the representatives of the historic house of the Rothschild, surely I am quite good enough to represent this constituency of Kimberley and Beaconsfield."
You can estimate from Mr. Barnato's holdings what his income must be. It is only a question of time, and of the continuance of the diamond yield, when the South African diamond king will eclipse in wealth the Indian Maharajah and the railroad monarch of America—Cor. Jewelers' Weekly.

The sixth annual contest in oratory took place last Tuesday evening at the University chapel. Almost every seat in the house was occupied, and the contest was a grand success both financially and in an oratorical way. There were fire contestants, namely: C. E. Street, A.D Kennedy, F. E. Reed, J. A. Mushuhrush and G. M. Culver. All the contests had excellently written orations, and with those magnificent oratorial powers always possessed by K.S. U. oraors, the clear, pointed sentences in each oration were forcibly presented. Each orator had a large following of friends who were sure of his success.
Iev. R. A. George opened the evening's exercises by calling, in a few very appropriate words, the Divine blessing upon each and every one of the participants.
Prof. Snow, as president of the evening then announced the cause of the evening's entertainment opened the program by introducing Mr. J. C. Manning, who rendered a very scholarly piano solo, "Pasquinde." Mr. C. E. Street, the next on the program delivered the oration entitled "The Cynic in American Politics." His oration was well written and showed that he had put much hard labor and study upon it. He spoke of the men who hold up to view the deeds of our ancestors as perfect models for us and cry that our public men are all corrupt. He proved in a logical and forceful manner that such was not the case, but that our statesmen of to-day are just as honest, upright and patriotic as those of a century ago. He believed that the present progressive policy of the nation had much of good in store for the American people.
Mr. A. D. Kennedy followed with an oration, "imm graation," which is both an honor to himself and the University for the brilliant ideas it contained. He discussed the influence that the millions of ignorant people, the scums of European society, that are pouring into this country annually. Mr. Kennedy's delivery, while it was good and on any other occasion would have been considered very forecible, was not up to what the judges considered the standard.
Miss Georgia Brown next rendered one of her splendid vocal solos, entitled "New Kingdom," which received storms of applause. Miss Brown has an excellent and well trained voice, one which charms the heavens.
F. E. Reed delivered the winning oration, entitled, "Limited Immigration." Mr. Reed seemed to be the most enthusiastic speaker and the one who had the best control of his voice.—one of those clear, ringing voices which move the populace. Mr. Reed had his oration well committed and it was truly a fine production.
J. A. Mushursh disappointed many of his admirers by not receiving the decision of the judges. His oration, the race problem, was well delivered but his subject matter was not up to the standard required by the judges, consequently he received a lower rank than was expected.
The K. S. U. mandolin club won laulets for themselves and pleased the ears of the large audience by a fine selection for which was received almost wild applause.
G. M. Culver the last orator on the program and the favorite of the evening, delivered the last oration on the program entitled "Growth." He followed and ably discussed the advancement made by civilization and by liberty. His delivery was more on the elucidation order but he was the most composed of any on the stage. The production received the markings from the judges which awarded him the second place.
Miss Nellie Franklin closed the program by a piano solo in a manner which did great credit to herself and to the musical department of the University. While the judges were preparing their decision the Mandolin Club was called six times in succession, each time rendering a choice selection of music.
The decision of the judges was required
with applause and was universally conceded to be just. Mr. Reed will represent us at Emporia in a manner of which K. S. U. may be proud, and with a successful bonfire in the streets of that little city and the joyous shout of Rock-chalk Jay-hawk, K. U. the state contest is ours.
The decision of the judges was received
The markings of the judges widely differ. Street, Reed and Culver were each ranked first by one judge, but by the method of marking, the orator, the sum of whose rank is least, was chosen, Street and Culver tieing for second place. By counting Reed out of the contest and again taking sum of rank, Culver gets second place. If by general average it would have been decided that Street would have represented K. S U, at Emporia.
The following is the marking of the judges.

It will be seen by this that Street had a good showing for first place, as he has the highest general average and has the highest markings on thought or subject matter.
The contest was a grand success much more so than had been anticipated owing to the previous trouble in the association.
Palladium.
Palladium Literary Society, which held its first meeting Jan. 11, will hold its third meeting at the court house tomorrow evening. The prospects of this society are good. About half of those students now at the University, who two years ago, founded Athanacum, are actively engaged in the organization of Palladium. Besides these, several other members of both Athanacum and Orophilian are interested in the new Society.
These members think that Palladium will not interfere with the interests of the old societies. About forty members form a good working literary organization. If either of the old societies lacks anything it is not members. The history of two societies in this University shows that a large roll of members is not what a society needs. Oread died with a hundred members on its roll; and Orophilian languished into a state of inactivity, with an equal number. That was two years ago, we are glad to say that Orophilian has revived. It might have been well for those organizations if a new society had been formed then, to take their surplus members.
Palladium admits to membership the non-fraternity students only. The fraternity men in their meetings do literary work; the non-fraternity students will meet and do literary work also, and why not? The advantage hoped to be gained by this restriction in membership is that it will prevent the possibility of party strife. Whoever has watched our literary societies, must have noticed the injury they have sustained from this source. The strife, too, has been the cause of ill feeling between the fraternity and the non-fraternity men. It is a noticeable fact that in the anti-fraternity movement at the beginning of last year all the students who took an active part were those whose feelings have been aroused by the fights in the literary societies, while the students who had not been engaged in those fights, took little or no part in the movement.
Palledium will meet every Saturday evening. Everybody is invited to attend.

K. S. U. ought to have a hearing. This queer State of the Union is moving on in population, wealth and intelligence and there is no good reason why our House on the Hill should not keep up in the grand march. When our school is placed on a level with eastern colleges, it will not be money lost but gained, for much that now flows into the coffers of Harvard and Yale, and other eastern colleges, will be spent at home. Kansas is Republican and believes in home industry. So do we; and now let her build up home industries!
Every department of our University should be started, and improved as fast as time and circumstances will permit.
R13422
Our departments have done well with the help that has been given them, and in most instances the demands of K. S. U. on the State have been reasonably met.
But we are not at the top yet. We can see towering above us in cultured majesty a whole galaxy of eastern institutions, which out of no better material than Kansas has in blood and brain, has sent forth statesmen, authors and poets.
We cannot expect to stand on par with those institutions until we have their facilities. We are aware that it takes growth, but there are some things that have not yet been planted.
One of the things which needs planting for which the students of the University have unanimously petitioned is a gymnasium.
The needs of such an institution in school life become pressing as soon as a college course requires a long seige of mental work, extending from four to six years, and is a heavy drain on any student's physical health. And no student's mind is in a fit condition for good earnest work when his or her physique is neglected. This is recognized and acted upon by all first class institutions, and is not unlikely one of their secrets of manly scholars.
We do not want a kindergarten but we want symmetrical development, we want to come out of K. S. U. with good mind, well stored with knowledge, and a vigorous vitality which is the secret of so much success.
We are all in for Kansas and Republican principles, and we're in for K. S. U.
We want to tell every legislator who votes for what we ask, that he will find votes for him whenever he runs for Congress.
*New occasions touch new duties*
*Time makes ancient good unchore.

Educational progress marks the main difference between Kansas and Missouri to-day, and we propose starting a small charity fund for the purpose of encouraging every moss-backed legislator that kicks on these matters of which we speak, to emmigrate to the cultured(?) Democratic land of Missouri. We don't need him here, for
Examinations.
Roses have their time to bloom, and birds to sing, and croakers to croak. And it would indeed be pitiful to let this week pass by, without uttering some cry, or filling up the pages of history some protest against this fearful, frightful and formidable, this terrible and terrific, this unjust and unholy examination system. It is said, "There never yet was a thief, who felt the halter draw, but had a bad opinion of the law." By this casual remark, I do not mean, "Mr. Editor, either that I am a thief or have been hung. It is true, that I tried to purloin, so to speak, a question or two from a neighboring fellow sufferer in one of our examinations this week. It is true, that in the language of Shakespeare I have cried—to myself of course—"A pony, a pony, my kingdom for a pony." But I am wandering from my subject. By my first quotation, I meant to convey the idea, that being a victim of this system, I can better portray to the unsuspecting reader, its many and most serious defects. I have just received the returns. I have just failed in three of my three and one-fifth studies. Namely, Perspective, Caesar and Algebra. I passed on my themes these you remember count as one-fifth study.
Faculty rule about failing in two studies etc., etc. But I am not. My father is a big man out in the western part of the State, and you know "big man's" sons never have to go home.
Perhaps you think I am afraid of this
"This is laughable, and yet at times pathitial farce, which has been played upon the K. S. U. stage during the past seven days, presents some amusing scenes.
If the term of daily recitations was the only test for grades and scholarship, true merit would have to be rewarded. Strict attendance at recitations, well prepared lessons, and good thorough work from week to week would be demanded and obtained. But the tendency of the examination systems, is just the opposite. Notice some of its delightful inconsistencies. With some Professors examinations count entirely; with other recitations, one-half, examinations, one-half.
It many times happens that the best students receive much lower grades than those who in their daily recitations were never known to get a thing right, except through mistake. Examinations at most are only written recitation. Is it fair or just to take the measure of a student by simply one recitation. Only a few questions can be asked. Is it right to grade a whole term's work upon one or two questions? Take any subject and ten or twenty questions may be selected on which not a student could pass. Catch—probably ketch—questions may be asked, before which a whole class may fail, for the purpose of illustrating the meteonic brilliancy of the professor in charge as a puzzling and ingenious interrogative. Just as was done in a class 'two years ago, when thirty-three failed out of a class of sixty-one.
Again examinations encourage idleness during the term's work. "Oh, I don't have to attend recitations regularly and get up the lessons every day. Pshaw, that's foolishness. We have heard this remark many times. Why don't they have to attend recitations regularly and get up their lessons every day.
Simply because if a student has a memory worth a fourth-place contest oration, he can begin the "cramming process" about a week before examination, commit his books to memory, which he can hold for a few days, just long enough to get it down on paper and have a No. 1 scratch book. To say nothing of a week's loss of time, these are some of the beau ties of our examination system."
Mr. Editor, I heard the above arguments used in the halls the other day by one of our most worthy, grave and revered Seniors, and surely he ought to know, as he has been through the mill. But it seems to any weak Prep mind that he omitted the strongest argument. Being by nature honest myself, yet I can see how these exam tie a blue ribbon around the neck of my fellow Prep, who has no consciptions scruples against borrowing that which he cannot return. For instance, take my Latin class—any of my three failures. My room-mate does not know as much about Latin as I do. He can hardly tell the difference between Latin grammar and an Egyptian museum—because he has seen neither. Yet he received I. and I "getfunked." Why? Simply because he sat in a smart crowd than I did. He seemed to get his knowledge through absorption. He received a good grade on account of his "absorbing qualities," and the honest little boy gets to take it over on account of his honesty.
So unsuspecting are some of our Professors—and so unrighteous are some of their students—that if you will let me pick my seat among company, I will pass any examination that may be given under the two demes of the University.
The only trouble about this borrowing business is that you are sometimes liable to borrow from some numb-skull who knows even less about the subject than you do.
Now, Mr. editor, I think I have consumed enough space to prove to all who have been unfortunate in the late examinations, that they—I mean the examinations—should be abolished. I have written this with the purest motives, believing that I am doing the true educational interests, a great and glorious
service. No feelings of revenge are rankling in my bosom. Although I failed in three studies, I am thankful I passed in the one-fifth. When my favorite system of grading by "Recitations alone" may come in vogue, I suspect I may fall in all, but I will bear it like a true martyr for the good of the cause, contenting myself with the co泅ing thought, that if one I is a good thing, why are not four 's better?

Betrayed by His Parrot.
Detectives obtain their hints and clews from many sources, but it is not often, the Paris correspondent of the London Daily Telegraph remarks, that they receive them through the instrumentality of parrots; yet this is just what has happened during the researches of M. Goron, the head of the Paris Criminal Department. This officer has been lately looking for the chief accountant of the "Catusse Band," a fellow named Victor Chevalier, and, going the other day into the rooms of a notorious receiver of stolen goods in Paris, he heard himself addressed in harsh tones as "Good old Victor? there you are!" This was enough for the detective, who having silently satisfied himself that the lequacious bird was the property of the man for whom he was looking, proceeded to search the receiver's den for indications of a more substantial character. After a long and minute investigation of the premises, he found a letter from Victor to the receiver, in which epistle the robber announced that he was in Angers under the name of Felix Crozet. M. Goron immediately set out for that town, and arrested the owner of the too voluble parrot in the railway station.

LIZZIE EVANS.
LIZZIE EVANS COMING IN THE "BUCKEKE."
The management take pleasure in announcing the appearance of the charming little comedienne Lizzie Evans at the opera house next Tuesday night in her very successful comedy entitled "The Buckeke."
Miss Evans has the reputation of being one of the very best little actresses of the Laebette school now on the stage. She is at present playing at Popa's Theatre St. Louis, to large and delightful audiences. Her new play, "The Buckeye" is highly spoken of and is said to be the best in which this talented little lady has yet been seen. "The Buckeye" was originally the property of Denman Thompson for whom it was written but never produced, on account of the great success of his "Old Homestead." He disposed of it last summer to Miss Evans who has been playing it ever since, with marked success. "The Buckeye" is described as a quaint and curious picture of Ohio Life, and is said to equal in point of pathos and quaint humor the "Old Homestead". The action of the play takes place in an old country tavern in the State of Ohio called "The Buckeye" hence the title. Miss Evans appears to great advantage as Mary Jane, an orphan asylum waw and during the performance will introduce a number of new songs, dances, medleys, etc. Her support is said to be excellent.
Clothing is cheaper than ever before. We are selling regardless of cost, to clean out our large winter stock. See us and save 50 cents on the $1.00

Dear Sir:—In April, 1885 I suddenly received notice that my ordination examination had failed and only ten (10) days in which to prepare for it. I should recommend a year's preparation in the case of any one so utterly unprepared as we; and in this regard I must recall the memory that I was able to remember and give the gist of any book after reading it once, and lighthearted with laughter. Brentwood & Monkley — once was successful in every one of the nine papers. The present Bishop of Edinburgh knows the facts.
