Copies are being sent out to the newspapers of the state, to the high schools, to the members of the legislature, to the colleges and universities all over the United States, to the alumni and others. About 10,000 copies will be issued. A well gotten up catalogue shows up better for a college than any other form of advertising. It is intended that the people of Kansas shall know all about their own University.
Friday, January 23. Every student should make it his duty to be present at the Eighth Annual contest of the K. S. U. Oratorical association. More than usual interest is being manifested by contestants this year. The winner in this contest is K. S. U.'s representative at Emporia in February.
ent parties of hunters failed to obtain a single animal in a hunt extending over several weeks.
As is well known Prof. Dyche left the University on July 16th, 1890, to make a trip for the special purpose of getting moose for the University museum. He went from here to St. Paul and learned there that moose were to be found in the great swamp and marsh lands around the Lake of the Woods in northern Minnesota and southeastern Manitoba. Taking the St. Paul, Minneapolis, & Manitoba railway he arrived at Warren, about 350 miles northwest of St. Paul, where after securing a guide, provisions and a light wagon and ponies he left for the "Land of the Moose and the Mosquito." His course was in a northeasterly direction. The country traversed was the broad wheat fields of the Red River of the North, and is settled by Norwegians with the exception of a few enterprising Yankees to make the money.
The country is dry and flat, gradually becoming marshy and finally one immense swamp. This is the home of the moose. Between the open wastes of marsh and swamp will be large dense groves of tamarack, spruce, willow, Quaking asp, birch and some elm and pine. A course grass grows in the marshes and there are miles and miles of cranberry and blueberry fields. The cranberries are so thick that after a light snow, the ground will be blood red from the crushed berries after each step. The cranberries grow on short bushes and seem to be lying right on the ground.
In the swamps there is a kind of wire grass and the old dead moss is in places three or four feet thick. The underbrush in the groves is so dense that one can scarcely see more than ten feet in any direction. The ground is so wet that along in September and October Prof.Dyche had to build a board platform for the camp, not being able to find any dry ground. The mosquitoes are terrible. It is almost impossible to sleep at night, even after taking the utmost precautions against the horrible pests. In the summer the swamp abounds with geese, duck, crains and such wild fowl, the air being discordant with their noise. These swamp lands have not yet been explored as may be seen by looking on the map. A short time ago three men were lost in them for six weeks. The moose live off of the leaves and twigs, never touching grass. In the summer time they work toward the marsh lands. They are very hard to get and sometimes weeks will go past without one being seen. Twenty differ-
Prof. Dyche got his camp pitched on August 1st and on the 19th of Angust Brown, the guide,killed the first moose. Dyche killed his first moose, in September, and in October killed three in one day, an old bull, a cow and calf, all splendid specimens. Nineteen were secured altogether, a remarkable showing. The hides were prepared and sent to Warren to be shipped, as fast as the ground became solid enough for a wagon. On the 20th of November camp was broken up. In going to Warren Dyche met with a severe accident being thrown from the wagon and the front wheel passing over his body. The wagon was heavily loaded. Prof. Dyche rested a week at a farm house and is now feeling all right. It was a narrow escape, however. On the 22nd of December, Dyche arrived in Lawrence after an absence of a little over four months.
Over one hundred mammals were obtained on the trip including nineteen moose, fifteen hides and four skeletons, seven foxes, three martins, one fisher, mink, black porcinnes, white rabbits, Minnesota wolves, silver grey fox, white tailed deer, etc. The silver grey fox is a particular fine specimen and very rare, tho Hudson Bay company only obtaining one or two a year. The hide of one is worth about a hundred dollars. Prof. Dyche used a 45-90 Winchester rifle with a 30 inch barrel. He expects to have a group of moose and some of the other animals mounted by commencement. The University will have the finest and only group of moose in the United States. Prof. Dyche says that the days of the moose are numbered and that it will be but a short time before they are as a race extinct. The next trip made will probably be after Canton.
Bob Burdette
The fourth lecture on the Y. M. C. A. course will be given by Bob Burdette in the opera house Tuesday Jan. 13th. Burdette needs no recommendation as a lecturer to the people of Lawrence, his reputation as a humorist is so well known. This will in all probability be one of the most interesting lectures of the season. Burdette's lectures are one continuous flow of humor from beginning to end and yet there is that spirit of good sense which pervades his disco urge and prevents any feeling of weariness which might arise.
Burdette is without doubt the most popular humorist on the stage
and none who enjoy a hearty laugh can afford to miss hearing his lecture. The Chicago Tribune says of him, "There is no difficulty in telling where the laugh should come in. It finds its way at the proper place without any promptings of its owner. Indeed it is impossible to prevent its breaking out into unroarious cachinnations when Mr. Burdette is at his funniest, and that is nearly all the time. There is a perpetual flow of drolleries from his imagination which amazes one at the extraordinary prolificness and inexhaustibility of the foundation."
The chart opens Saturday morning at Crews. Tickets 50 and 35 cents.
The ex-students of the University, attending the State Teacher's Association at Topeka, held a meeting in the senate chamber Wednesday evening of the session. Chancellor Snow presided. It was resolved to have a banquet at the next session of the state association to which all ex-students shall be invited. A committee consisting of F. H. Clark, Miss Florence Reasoner and W. E. Higgins was appointed to arrange for the banquet on that occasion, and W.R. Cone;and E. L. Cowdrick were appointed to act as a committee on invitation and enrollment. About twenty-five ex-students were present. It is intended to make the occasion a very pleasant one and is a splendid move. Some of the other institutions have had such an association for some time.
The report of the University Ball committee to the Athletic board is lengthy. When all was footed up it was found that the assets exceeded the liabilities just 10c. The gymnasium will be started immediately.

THE Christmas edition of the Courier was well received everywhere and gave rise to many favorable comments. Over a thousand copies were issued and in addition to the regular subscribers, copies were sent by the University to all members of the legislature. The facts showing the very material progress of the University along true University lines, attracted much attention and were regarded with pleasure by all those interested in the well fare of the University—and that is coming to mean pretty nearly everybody in the state.
At Oxford three scholarships, one of $175 and two of $200 a year for three years, have been awarded three girl students. University and college lectures in law and music, and the honors examinations in jurisprudence for the degree of B. A. and in music for Mus. B. have been opened to women since last year. Theology and medicine are now the only honor examinations that remain closed, and an amended motion to open the latter is coming on for discussion in convocation this month.—K. C. Journal.
WHILE the COURIER does not believe in undue fault-finding, yet we must protest against the policy adopted by some professors of giving their classes work to do during vacation. We maintain that the University has no more control over the actions of a student during the holiday vacation than it has during the summer vacation. In most instances one professor will give but one or two days work but when each professor gives one or two days work, it would be far better to only give a week of vacation or else stop a practice which makes part of the term a vacation in name only. In many cases a number of the students are perfectly willing to do the work but there are others of whom it is unjust to ask it. If a professor thinks that he knows of work that would be profitable to pursue during vacation he should mention it to the classes and suggest that it would be a good plan to do it, but to make it compulsory is doing away with the very object for which vacation is supposed to be instituted—rest of body and mind by change of work and thought.
THE YOUNG ORATORS OF KANSAS.
From the Topeka Capital.
Web Wilder was one of the judges on "thought and composition" in the Washburn oratorical contest. The other judges marked the orations 100, 99, 98 and so on, but his marking was 55, 60, 35 and 30. Evidently the cultured insurance commissioner does not regard the Washburn boys as approximately correct thinkers and complete masters of style.
It came recently into the lot of a Capital man to examine competing orations for another college oratorical exhibition and the one impression made upon his mind by the experience is so vivid and clamorous for expression as to call forth this article. There were six orations. Singularly enough, all but one were written upon topics nearly identical with those of the Washburn boys. The subjects were all either political or politeo historical. The disposition of all the writers was optimistic, and that is good. The tendency was to eulogize the great American platitudes, so eloquently enunciated generally on the Fourth of July, and to roast that ominous Man on Horseback, the corrupt politician; a tendency which is also good. The orations were all earnest, inspired with that collegiate enthusiasm for sweetness and light, for purity and progress, which if it be subject to the epithet "unsophisticated," is none the less ennobling and prophetic of the leavening of the whole lump in the fullness of time. God forbid such a change in the atmosphere of Kansas college life as shall temper the celestial enthusiasm of the new fledged graduate with a premature realization of the practical hardness of life!
These things, however, are by the way. The impression made upon the examiner of the six orations was the absence of clear originality in thought and the slightness of originality in expression. These faults are not proper alone to Kansas nor to collegiateates, but they are largely due to the common effort of instructors to impress their own ideas upon their pupils. The thought in these orations was good, but its relation to the mind of the writers seemed rather that of a thing evolved. There was not much evidence of original investigation, though a plenty of evidence of good reading. Possibly the want of originality was due in a measure also to the ambition of the orators to formulate thunderbolts which the gods of scholarship themselves are chary of handling.
At the risk of comparison which may be odious, the Capital feels moved to speak of the one exception referred to early in this article. It was no more brilliant than the rest nor did it show any greater capability in the author. But its subject was one that compelled the author to tell what he knew from original observation. There was the play of his own proper mind,
and the exercise to him was therefore in the liberal sense educational. If the growing orators of Kansas will select their subjects from the category of their own experience, not only the thought of their compositions will be more vigorous but their style will be, by a sort of sympathy, more easy and more forcible; their metaphor will be more original and less stilted and they will find themselves more self-seliant by learning that their own minds are to be depended upon for good thinking.
WASHBURN IN THE LEAD.
Washburn was the first of the colleges in the inter-collegiate association to hold its oratorical contest. We have set the mark. Can any other college surpass it? We think not. It was generally supposed that Baker would be our most formidable competitor. But Baker can safely be said to be out of the race. We speak from personal observation, and we believe that we do not allow our prejudice to get away with our judgment. K. S. U, is still relying upon her "natural oratory" and will present an oration yet unwritten. The other colleges never have been in it and they will not be this year. Lets all go to Emporia and see the walk away. Get those horns.—Washburn Reporter.
Yes K. S. U. does rely upon her "natural oratory," and for practical purposes that is the only kind worth relying upon. That "natural oratory" is appreciated by the practical men of the state we need only to point to the three University victories out of the seven state contests thus far held. If by "natural oratory" is meant the expression of ones own ideas upon a subject within ones grasp in a natural manner and as one is prompted to express them, then K. S. U: will probably never have reason to leave "natural oratory." There is something painful in the oration, written years before, patched up from time to time, new climaxes added here and there, and spoken again and again under the direction of a professional elocutionist until the speaker has become a trained automaton bereft of original ideas.
always win contests, but it will always place University students to the front wherever the plain practical expressions of ones views is required.
A young man who has grown up with some earnest ideas about the social or political questions of the day, who has been observant and has had some practical training in speaking and writing is the best exponent of "natural oratory." It will not take long for such on orator to write an oration, in fact two weeks is quite enough if he has read, studied and thought on his subject as he has, and does not have to spend his time patching up other peoples' ideas. Nor does this kind of orator require a "professional" in order to find out how to say what he believes. Nor does this kind of an orator, when called upon to express himself on an ordinary subject at short call, make a complete fizzle in his attempt to keep up his reputation, as illustrated by a late notable example.
K. S. U. will keep her "natural oratory," thank you. It may not
With the prospect of the establishment of a "Triangular Athletic League" between Baker, Washburn and ourselves in the spring it would be well for those intending to do athletic work in the spring to find some means of training during the winter. The training of each person should be as far advanced as possible when the weather permits out door practice. The teams in base ball and tennis which start in the contest with the best and most thorough preparation will stand the best show of winning. If a number of those interested in athletics will get together and agree to do some training every day or every other day, Turner Hall or the Armory may be easily secured. Calisthenics, work with dumb bells and Indian clubs, with the parallel bar and in running are excellent for the development of the body and can easily be provided for. Do not let another week go past without something being done.
CHANGELLOR SNOW reports that the feeling of the teachers of the state toward the University has undergone a marked change in the last year. While now there is on the part of a majority of the teachers a lively interest in the University and an earnest desire to get their schools in line with University work, a year ago there was to a large extent a feeling of indifference. Chancellor Snow attributes the change largely to the popularity of the Latin-English course established the last year. That is to the substitution of an equivalent amount of advanced work in English for primary work French or German. Nearly all the high schools can prepare in one foreign language but few find it possible at present to prepare in two or more. Probably the chief factor contributing to the change, and one which Chancellor Snow does not mention is undoubtedly his deserving reputation over the state and the confidence and esteem with which he is regarded on every hand.
The word "smoodle," first used in this paper to define a fawning favorite who pulls his professor's leg in order to get his grade raised, is attracting considerable attention. It seems that although the word is new, the thing, if the expression may be pardoned, for which the word is but a symbol is not new and flourishes in every institution under various names and in various stages. In Harvard it is called a "swipe," with this difference that the "swipe" is too cute to wait until examinations to begin its work but takes time by the forelock by often staying after class in order to ask questions about the work and exhibit its great interest in it, and thus curry favor with the "power that is." The
"Swipe" and the "Smoodle" however, are "birds of a feather" and deserve the contempt of their fellow students.
THE COURIER congratulates Prof. Dyche on the successful issue of his collecting trip in the swamp lands of Minnesota and Manitoba. The service Prof. Dyche has rendered the University by his enthusiasm and indefatigable energy in the cause of science cannot be estimated. Surmounting obstacles which would be well nigh insurmountable by many, confronted by discouragements, he has still persevered in his chrisen work and the results of his labor in Snow Hall will stand as lasting monuments to his inestimable service to the University and to science.
THE Athletic Association has been hard at work during vacation looking up suitable material for a dramatic entertainment to be given early in the spring. By next issue we shall be able to give something more definite about the work done. We can assure our readers however, that a strong play will be selected, which when properly staged and mounted, will far excel anything of its kind ever given in University or Lawrence circles.
Smoodling Loodlers.
"The editor of the Kansas University Courier has enriched the language by the word 'smoodle.' He defines a 'smoodle' as 'one who pulls the leg of the professor' in order to get his 'grade raised.'
The Northwestern World, a paper published by the students of the Northwestern University, says in its last issue:
“Since I 'boodle' and 'smoodle' seem to indicate that 'oodle' is the proper termination for new slang we suggest 'loodle' as a name for the student who has postponed his studying until now. 'I can't go, dear boy, I've "hoodled" too much in Latin and have got to cram.' ‘Is A—a good scholar?' ‘He is a 'loodle' in mathematics, but gets languages on time.’”
Words are coined by the dies of exigencies, actuated by the lever of circumstances. "Smoodle" — a fawning favorite—and "boodle"—to postpone an imperative duty—may be the vagarious inventions of college boy philologists. But they are singularly appropriate when applied to city hall detectives who are still holding the gambling search warrants issued five days ago. These "smoodle" detectives have "boodled" over this matter so long that there are grave suspicions that the noodles have been "boodled."
Smoodle. loodle, noodle, boodle are words with rhyme and reason and full of suggestiveness. They should be placed in "Every Detective's Handy Manual" and carefully indexed.-Chicago Daily News.
Prof. Blake experimented during the vacation with his hydrophone, upon which he was at work last summer. Some very satisfactory results were obtained.
Quite a number of new students are coming in for the second term.

Do not fail to hear William Blaikie at the opera house tonight on "How to Develop our Bodies."
"How to Develop Our Bodies."
"The Athletic Association has shown commendable enterprise in getting William Blaikie, the celebrated writer and speaker on health and physical culture, to come to Lawrence and deliver his lecture entitled, "How to Develop our Bodies." Mr. Blaikie will be known to most of our readers as an entertaining contributor to Harper's and other magazines on physical, culture and athletic sports, and the author of two excellent books entitled, "How to get Strong, and How to Stay So," and, "Sound Bodies for our Boys and Girls." Everybody who believes that health is the basis of most good work and happy living in this world will be glad that an opportunity is to be offered of having sound and wholesome information on this important subject by such a recognized authority as Mr. Blaikie. Every student should hear this lecture, for it is full of interest to each and every one. The lecture will be held in the opera house and a general admission of twenty-five cents will be charged.
Mr. William Blaikie who lectures this evening at the opera house on "How to develop our Bodies," is the author of "How to get Strong and How to Stay so"the best book of its kind ever published. He is authority on matters of physical culture and every student should hear him without fail.
The University authorities are working up a list of the addresses and occupations of all the students who were ever connected with the University. All information about former students, their whereabouts, will be gratefully received at the office.
A meteorite has been placed in the University museum by Mr. H. C. Fellow. The meteorite was found by Mr. Fellow about a year ago. It weighs about twenty-five pounds and is the third to be discovered in Kansas.

The Newspaper Bureau.
It is being recognized more and more every day, by our great colleges and universities, that it is highly necessary that the men who graduate from the U. should go out into the world with a full knowledge of the cares and obligations of citizenship. There was a time when the responsibilities of a voter were very slight indeed. Even reading and writing were not thought essential in order to cast an intelligent ballot. The whole political and social system was much simpler and easier to understand than it is today. There was not so much of that insatiate desire for political prominence which so animates and characterizes the American people today. The great mass of intelligent people are coming to realize that the country's interests and welfare must be guarded and guided by an enlightened, reasoning people. We know how difficult it is for even our great statesmen and political economists to keep abreast of the times and political issues of the day, and how much more difficult is it for a workingman with little time or opportunity to do the same. Hence we need as much education in this direction as possible. It is evident to any sensible person that an education which insists upon perfect familiarity with the political and social state of the Ancients and totally neglects the vastly more important political situation of the present day, is almost useless to the practical man of the world.
With this situation in view there has been added to the Kansas State University what is called a newspaper bureau. It was not established as a separate department or even as what we call a study. But it was organized with a view of giving all students who so desired an opportunity for carrying on a systematic reading and investigation of all the current topics of the day. It does not interfere nor take the place of any regular class work and is especially designed as an auxiliary to the department of Historical and Political Science. The scheme of the bureau is practically this. Each student connected with the

work is assigned some newspaper for which he becomes responsible. The papers which are thus assigned are the best that can be procured, and are not restricted to any one particular party or course, but all phases of our national life are read and discussed and many great republican, democratic and independent newspapers are represented. The student to whom a paper is given is expected to read the paper carefully and clip out all items bearing upon our social, political or religious life, using his own judgment of course as to whether such items are really valuable or not. After the items have passed to the instructor they are pasted on pieces of stiff paper prepared for that purpose, carefully indexed and filled in such a manner that they are readily accessible for future reference. Although the Bureau has been in operation only a little over a year it has proven a successful experiment and a valuable and important part of the University. The successful development and operation of the Bureau is due to Prof. F. W. Blackmar who has kindly undertaken its care and direction.

The local oratorical contest will be held in the chapel Friday evening, Jan. 23. There will be at least ten contestants to hand in orations from which number six will be chosen by a committee from the faculty. Orations must be handed in by next Tuesday. The contest promises to be an unusually interesting one and an orator will be chosen who will reflect credit on the University in the contest at Emporia.

LAWRENCE, KANSAS, JAN. 17, 1891.
Col. Greene of the Record thinks the trouble is not with the Kansas City theatrical bill boards, but in the eye—in the evil mind. Very well. Just as truly the evil is not with the intoxicent but with the appetite which misuses it.
John Sullivan, the Kansas City lawyer and politician, the manager of divers newspapers, is about to embark in the matrimonial ship. He bestowed a visit upon the University last week and shook hands with all his old friends preparatory to his departure. John is an ex-student and a formor editor of the Courier.
William Blaikie said while here, "Boys get all the debating possible while you are in college, you can not get too much of this kind of practice. Among all the members of the New York bar there are but one or two who can make a good speech. Whatever you do in college learn to talk, to express yourselves forcibly and to the point."

Burdette's claims at the Farmers Alliance failed to elicit applause, and the Phi Psis were not prepared for it when he spoke of them approvingly.
If you see a man looking at your feet don't think he is criticising the size, he is only looking for the rubbers he has lost.
The fellow who wrote the article in the Record concerning literary work in K. S. U., and signed "Junior" must have been "a Junior" in the wood carving department.
Be sure and get your tickets as soon as the chart opens on next Wednesday morning, as everything indicates that the largest crowd ever known will attend the contest on Friday night.
Out of ten entries for the contest the best six have been chosen by a committee of the faculty. The best one of these six will be chosen next Friday night to represent the University at the state contest.
The lecture of Mr. Blaikie is getting in its work. A party of students are looking for an able instructor in boxing. If there is one in the University he can enrich his pocket and get a chance to pound some one simultaneously by coming to the front and organizing a class.
Chancellor Snow will deliver an address before the State Agricultural Society, in Topeka, this afternoon on the subject of chinch bugs. The State Agricultural society must not be confounded with the state legislature as some malicious people would have us believe.
How to Develop Our Bodies.
Only a medium sized audience greeted William Blaikie, the New York lawyer, who spoke under the auspices of the athletic association at the opera house last Friday evening. Those who did felt alimply repaid and departed full of enthusiasm for gymnastic training as a means for gaining sound bodies and the host of blessings which necessarily follow.
Mr. Blaikie is a gentleman about fifty years old but looks thirty-five. He has a fine presence and is himself an excellent example of what athletic training will do for a man immersed in the cares of professional life. He is a graduate of Harvard class of'66, and was captain of the Harvard boat crew when it gained its first great victory over Yale. Mr. Blaikie has made a thorough study of athletics and physical culture and is today the best authority in the United States upon these subjects. Mr. Blaikie, besides being a good lawyer and athlete is a good speaker and his lecture was replete with wit and humor.
Mr. Blaikie said in the course of his lecture that books and books alone cannot make a man. A perfect man has his mental and physical parts developed symmetrically. The greatest men of the world, the men who have accomplished the greatest works, who have been the greatest benefit to mankind have been the men with the finest physical development, the men who have had strong and vigorous bodies, which served as never failing resevoirs from which to nourish and sustain the continued and severe mental efforts of the brain. The champions of the world have been men capable of enduring every hardship and meeting successfully every opposition.
Alexander and Cresar were athleties and spent years in developing the hardy constitutions without which they could have accomplished but little. Plato and Aristotle taught physical culture and were finely developed themselves. Wellington and Napoleon spent years in perfecting bodies which enabled them to withstand every hardship and endure every privation courageously. Daniel Webster and Daniel O'Connor were splendid specimens of manhood and always took systematic physical training.
Gladstone was the champion wrestler at Eaton, the champion walker and wrangler at Oxford and England's champion ever since. Gladstone exercises every day. In summer chops wood and in winter walks. He is eighty-one years old and can bring down the largest oak without fatigue. Washington had a magnificent body and
No.17.
was in his youth the champion wrestler and jumper for miles around his home. He was a phenominally strong man and owed his ability to withstand privation and discouragements to his perfect physical development. Over eighty per cent of the successful men on Wall street today were country born and bred. John Wesley, who preached over 42,000 sermons in fifty years was an athlete exceedingly muscular and strong.
Mr. Blaikie dwelt strongly on the fact that students in college should take systematic exercise. This is an important phase of college life that is too much neglected. Of what good is it to a man to spend his time "boning," "pouring over his books," and working for high grades, if when he graduates he is a physical wreck and unable to cope successfully with the affairs of life. He cited the instance of five Harvard young men who were in college when he was, fine students, away up in their classes, graduated with honor and all in their graves no two years afterward. Twenty-five years of hard work under our lightened system of education come to nought. He dwelt on the fact that the useful man in this world is the all around man. The man metrically developed. If students will take systematic gymnastic work every day they will not only be able to do more work but their work will be of a better quality. The young lady who recently beat the senior wrangle at Cambridge by 400 points only studied six hours a day and the rest of the day she devoted to tennis and gymnastic work. She attributes her victory due to physical exercise. She accomplished in six hours what it took ten to do before and her work was better, for her nerves were steady and her brain more active.
The fact was brought out that there is great interest in sports in the colleges. Those taking part in base ball, foot ball, rowing and tennis comprises but a small proportion of the student body. The majority of students receive no physical development whatever. Moreover foot ball, base ball, rowing and tennis only develop certain sets of muscles and the good results of such work are not far reaching enough. What is wanted is more means whereby the whole body of students can gain symmetrical development. This can be gained only in the gymnasium.
The old idea about a gymnasium being a place for students to parade in, is passing away. It is now a place for scientific development. It is one of the most important departments in the educational system of
every University. A good director for a gymnasium is as necessary as a good professor in the languages or political economy. At Harvard where they have a fine equipped gymnasium, no recitations are held from 4 to 6 to enable all to do athletic work. President Elliot used to exercise regularly with the boys at that hour. The result of a few months' work in the gymnasium will be astonishing. One will feel a bouyancy and enthusiasm in everything he does arising from a perfect physical condition. The days when it was thought that the body was of no account except to be scourged are passing away and the time is coming when a man can no more neglect his physical education than he can his mental. The body and mind go hand in hand through life's work.
Mr. Blaikie left for home immediately after the lecture.
His Story.
The following specimen was handed to us by one of our Junior "Pharmiks:"
Many students witnessed a grand snow-ball fight last Friday afternoon between the junior and senior Pharmieks, in which the seniors were badly worsted. The seniors were assisted by several outsiders, but notwithstanding this and the superior size of most of their number, they were forced by the plucky juniors to seek refuge in the Chemistry building.
Among the seniors dug up after the affair were Oatman, Kennerly, Amos and the janitor, Mr. Vestal. It's a cold day when the juniors get left.
Adelphic will present a program tonight on, "The Literature on the Abolition Movement." Some excellent papers have been prepared and the meeting will be without doubt an interesting one. Visitors will be made welcome.

The Law library has received a very valuable addition recently from Judge D. M. Valentine, of Topeka, one of the associate justices of the supreme court viz 17 volumes American Law Register, 24 volumes Central Law Journal, 14 volumes Albany Law Journal, 4 volumes of the Reporter, a number of Pacific Reporter and American Digest. The professors and students of the law department feel very thankful to Judge Valentine for the benefits they will derive from this valuable donation.
EVERY student who expects to engage in journalism after leaving college should make it a point to attend the lectures on journalism now being given in the University. There being no regularly established chair of journalism thses lectures and the work of the newspaper bureau are designed to meet the needs of those expecting to do that kind of work. Several lectures have already been given and the following are announced to be given during the remainder of winter and spring: Make-up, 2, James H. Canfield; The Paragraph, 1, Chas. G. Dunlap; Unity, 1, Chas. G. Dunlap; The Sentence, 1, Edwin M. Hopkins; Ethics of Journalism, 1, Olin Templin; Freedom of the Press, 1, Frank W. Blackmar; Some Phases of Journalism, 1, Frank W. Blackmar. The special dates for these lectures will be announced from time to time.
THE Kansas State University is taking steps to secure athletic grounds which will afford the students ample facilities for outdoor sports. With an excellent faculty and a variety of courses, the University offers educational advantages quite equal to those of eastern colleges, but it is a fact which cannot be ignored that a crack football eleven or a winning base-ball nine has a potent influence in attracting students.—Kansas City Journal.
The COURIER has stated again and again that the influence of successful athletic teams on the welfare of the University cannot be estimated. When the University of Nebraska foot-ball team went to Omaha and won a victory over a team composed of much the same kind of material as our team played
at Kansas City, the Hesperian made the remark that the victory was worth hundreds of dollars to the University. The eastern college men who form the majority of the tennis and foot ball teams in our large western cities have an idea that the east contains all the Universities of the land. They know nothing of western Universities and their methods. After a great athletic match between eastern colleges, the papers all over the United States contain long accounts of it, the graduates of the victorious college who are scattered through all the larger cities of the country being out their colors and give vent to their enthusiasm. The college is advertised all over the country and the young men just to enter college are attracted to the school with the greatest reputation, both for scholarship and for the maintenance of live and successful college enterprises. When the University of Kansas can maintain athletic teams superior to those of surrounding colleges, when it can send teams to Kansas City that will win over teams composed of Harvard, Yale and eastern university men, it will call the attention of Kansas City and the west to a western university. Every person in Kansas City who was ever connected with the University will be proud of the fact and will proclaim it to others. The young men of Kansas City and of the entire west intending to enter school will have their attention called to a University nearer home, a university more in sympathy with western thought and progress, than those of the east, and will come here in preference. The fact that a university supports winning athletic teams shows it to be a live and energetic institution and will attract the young men from the live and energetic western cities. And when the western universities attract all the best material of the west and develop the system in athletics that some of the eastern colleges have, then let the east look out, for western enterprise, activity and enthusiasm backed by hardy western constitutions will be successful in athletics as in every other enterprise where the west is brought into competition with the east.
It seems as if our hint given several weeks ago and indorsed by the Review, to the effect that several instructors on the hill were in the habit of keeping their classes over the hour and should stop it, has not been taken. We do not wish to reiterate what we have written but would request these several professors and tutors to consult the back back file of the Courier and making all allowance for typographical errors take some of the truths there expressed and fit them to their own case. This evil, we have reason to believe, is on the increase, and we are in receipt of several well founded "kicks" that should receive some attention from the powers that be instead of utter disregard as is the case at present.
A VIEW.
Then and Now.
As we look back and think of the past, as we remember what "mighty" men and learned women have gone through this "old pile," we wonder how it is that there are none at present to whom we look with like reverence. We cast our eyes on that not distant past, and are astonished to find that hardly one of those honored predecessors of ours could be accused of occitancy, or of a profligate waste of that most precious of all indispensibles—time. If they lived on the shores of Lethe they did not imbibe its waters nor inhale its vapours, but breathed in the fresh pure air of heaven and drank the ever living and invigorating waters from the inexhaustible fountains of knowledge. They found little time to attend balls, parties, operas and lectures and were not so unhappy after all.
Now, fellow and sister students, our point is this: let us emulate, somewhat at least, this good precedent; let us study more and dance less. If we do our work faithfully and thoroughly we will not find so much time to "kick" and grumble; to find fault with our instructors. Our faculty is, after all, a pretty good matured body, willing to do what is right and to meet us half way in any honest efforts we may make. Let us at least do our best and it may eventually be said of us in the truly Goldsmithian manner.
"And still the wonder grows that one small head can carry all he knows."
The Athletic Board's plans foritting up a temporary gymnasium is a good one and is meeting withmarked approval among the students. The plan is to engage theArmory and fit it out with parallel bars, rings, Indian clubs, dumbbells and other simple apparatus. If enough students agree to do thework it may also be possible, it ishoped it will be, to get an experienced gymnastic trainer up from Kansas City two or three times a week. The Athletic Board has a good trainer in view who can beeasily secured and at small expense. It is the intention to meet every day either from five to six or in theevening and do one hour's goodsolid work. It is imperative thatevery person who expects to be inthe base ball and tennis teams inthe spring do this gymnastic workIf fifty students agree to do suchwork the cost to each one for thethree months' work will not exceed $2, and may be less. Over thirtypersons have thus far signified theirintention of doing the work and allothers who intend doing so shouldsee the members of the board a once.
Oh! those photographs of Hamilton's, they will make glad the hearts of your friends and conciliate the ill will of your enemies.

THE QUEEN'S LATEST OF FER.
A Free Education or One Year's Travel in Europe.
In the Queen's "Word Contest" which the publishers of that magazine announces as the last one they will ever offer, A Free Education consisting of a Three Years' Course in any Canadian or American Seminary or College, including all expenses, tuition and board, to be paid by the publishers of the Queen, or One Year Abroad. consisting of One Entire Year's Travel in Europe, all expenses to be paid, will be given to the person sending them the largest list of words made from the text which is announced in the last issue of the Queen. A special deposit of $750 has been made in the Dominion Bank of Canada, to carry out this offer. Many other useful and valuable prizes will be awarded in order of merit. The publishers of the Queen have made their popular family magazine famous throughout both Canada and the United States by the liberal prizes given in their previous competitions, and as this will positively be the last one offered, they intend to make it excell all others as regards the value of the prizes. Send six two cent U. S stamps for copy of the Queen containing the text, complete rules and list of prizes. Address The Canadian Queen, Toronto, Canada.
Camera Club.
A meeting of the Camera club was called by the president, Prof. Williston, on Monday evening, at Prof. Bailey's residence. Choice negatives and prints were exhibited and discussed, and Mr. Noble's Kodak and Mr. Case's Hawkeye were examined with a good deal of interest by the club. A number of slides were thrown on the screen by the lantern recently purchased by the Physics, Chemistry and Natural History Departments. The new lantern uses an oil lamp and can therefore be used for lectures in country places where the electric light is not available and gas would be inconvenient. A picture some ten feet in diameter is thrown on the screen at a distance of about thirty feet. With the new apparatus for making lantern slides, the University can get illustrated lectures in short order and good shape.
The first copy of the transactions of the Kansas Academy of Science has been received by the secretary, Prof. Bailey, and would have been out a month before if some of the cuts had not been lost. The state printer has shown great energy in getting out the minutes so early. Formerly they were not published for two years after the session.
Prof. Penny will play a brilliant pianoforte selection with orchestral accompaniment at the concert next Tuesday evening.
Glee Club, Ladies' Chorus and Handel and Haydn society will sing at the School of Music concert.
The social sphere of '91 was given a good start by Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Innes who on the evening of the eighth gave a very pleasant party for their daughter, Miss Minnie, in their new and handsome residence situated on the corner of Ohio and Winthrop streets. Early in the evening the guests began to arrive and were cordially received by the attractive hostess and her estimable parents. A short time after the arrival of the guests the young folks repaired to the ballroom tastefully decorated with tapestry, holly and mistletoe. During the evening at various intervals suitable refreshments were served in the capacious dining room, after which the program was resumed until a late hour.

Miss Towne has entered the Music Department.
Misses Hand and Riggs were initiated into Kappa Alpha Theta, the first of last week.
A club for the practice of gymnastics is being organized. A hall will be rented and an instructor employed. Much interest is being taken.
The German section of the Modern Language Club will present an excellent program this afternoon at 4 o'clock. Visitors interested in the work of the club will be made welcome.
Hon. James H. Humphrey, state railroad commissioner, will speak before the seminary this afternoon at 4 o'clock on "The Interstate Commerce Law." Visitors made welcome.
Governor Humphrey said some very kind words about the University in his message to the legislature. His remarks were to the point and it is to be hoped they will have weight.
The following are to be our orators next Friday evening: Bower sock, Brown, Hadley, Park, Roberts, Holmes. These six were selected by a faculty committee from ten contesting orations.
There is talk of having the University Mandolin Club play for the contest, and if this is the case, they should be apprised of the fact and begin to practice. Old pieces are pretty, but the general public is not noted for its charity, and it would be advisable to learn something for the occasion.
Gov. Humphrey in his message to the Legislature told them not to let excessive enthusiasm for the University cause them to be extravagant. As if they ever had burdened the greatest educational institution west of the Mississippi river by an over appropriation. We fear that the governor has not learned his lesson properly.
John Sullivan, of Kansas City, a graduate member of the Law Department, is making strenuous efforts through the alumni to increase the library and improve the Department in general. He said in a speech before the class that he had noticed that the lawyers coming from K.S.U. are able to cope with graduates from Ann Arbor and any of the higher law schools.
The annual Christmas concert, postponed on account of the absence of Prof. Penny, will be given next Tuesday evening by the School of Music in University hall. The school has recently received from Chicago a new Chickering Grand Pianoforte which will be used at the concert for the first time. Professor Penny will make his debut before a Lawrence audience as a pianist playing a concerto by Weber with orchestral accompaniment. Mr. Buch will play a concerto for violin and Miss Weller will play a concerto for piano by Mozart. The
Glee Club, Ladies' Chorus and the Handel and Haydn Society will sing selections, and the best students in the school will be heard in a choice program by modern composers. Everything indicates a most brilliant debut of the School of Music and the chapel will undoubtedly be crowded. The second entertainment for the pipe organ fund will take place one week later. This concert being the annual concert free to tie public.
In the Record of last week appeared a malicious and deliberate lie to the effect that members of Phi Gamma Delta hissed Bob Burdette when he lectured here. This is, as is well known by members of Phi Kappa Psi (of which Burdette is a member) is a falsehood made from whole cloth. It is such breaks as this that lower the standard of the newspaper and make it an instrument of oppression in the hands of disgruntled and unscrupulous persons. The members of the fraternities are on the most friendly terms and both alike deplore the appearance of the above in the Record.

The program for Jan. 9th was not responded to as usual, probably on account of the vacation. However there was a very large crowd at the meeting. Quite an excitement was manifested in regard to election of officers the strife seeming to be between Juniors and Seniors. The following officers were elected: President, Mr. Stanley; vice president, W. E. Railsback; secretary, Mr. Hilton; treasurer, Mr. Sullivan; ex-committee, Fisher and Blume. It was a complete Junior victory and the boys seem very well pleased with the result.

Successful Contestants.
Last spring Messrs Fulton& Trueblood, of the Kansas City school of oratory, trained one or more contestants for over a dozen contests in and around Kansas City, and without a single exception their pupils won all the first prizes. These contests included those held in the Missouri State University, the William Jewett college, Park college and several female colleges not in Kansas City.

Do not forget the local oratorical contest in the chapel next Friday evening. Make arrangements to be present now, and to bring your friends. Nothing disheartens an orator more than to speak in a large hall to a small audience. To be present is the least you can do to show your interest in and to encourage those who are working for the reputation of the University. Remember, next Friday night.
Quizzes have been incomparatively frequent this week.
The executive committee of the State Oratorical Association has decided to hold the state contest at Topeka instead of at Emporia. The change was made because the Whitley opera house in Emporia was engaged by a theatrical troupe for the 18th of February and Emporia had no other hall suitable. K, S. U, is well pleased with the change and will see to it that Topeka resound with Rock-Chalk-Jay-Hawk-K. U. on that date. Crane won at Topeka.
A meeting was held in the chapel at the end of the fourth hour last Friday for the purpose of discussing the gymnasium question. President Canfield stated that if a large enough number of students were willing to do some systematic training that the Armory or Turner Hall could be secured at a small cost to each one. About forty signified their intention of doing the work. Professor Sterling made a speech urging all students to bear William Blaikie that evening. Meeting adjourned.
Local Oratorical Contest.
Never before in the history of the University has there been so much interest taken in the local contest as this year. Ten orations were handed in to the faculty committee, from which number six have been chosen. Each oration on the program is a strong one and the winner will have to be an unusually good man. The chart opens at Crew's book store Wednesday morning at 8 o'clock. Seats will be sold at 35 and 25 cents. First come, first served.

Rev. C. H. Strong refused to serve as a judge on thought and composition in our local contest because the time allowed was too short to do the work in a proper manner and at the same time carry on his other work. He is eminently correct. If more time was given to the manuserips by our judges so as to thoroughly understand the writer, the result would be much more satisfactory.
A VISIT FROM APOLLO.
An Immense Audience Delighted
Perhaps the greatest musical treat ever given by the music department of the University, was given last Tuesday night to a large and appreciative audience. The occasion was the first concert given by our new Dean, Professor Penny, and he covered himself with glory. Notwithstanding the threatening weather and muddy streets at least a thousand people climbed the hill to hear what the professor had to offer them. All curiosity was turned into delight and commendation and no one was disappointed. The program was just short enough and just varied enough to give a splendid effect, and its arrangement showed good taste and great experience.
Three pianos and an organ were used in the course of the entertainment. At 8:15 Buch's orchestra opened the program by an overture from Schubert and they were heartily applauded.
Miss Jennie Weller, assisted by the orchestra, then rendered most skillfully a concerto from Mozart. Although it was long the audience was attentive to the end. The beautiful ladies of the choral club next sang two choruses and carried the house by storm and completely won the audience. Misses Ida Burr and May Neally followed in succession with two piano solos and were loudly applauded. The violin solo by Mr. Louis Buch certainly proved him to be a master of that instrument. Professor Penny accompanied on the piano and the people were perfectly entranced. Continued applause brought him out the second time.
A piano solo by Miss Nellie Franklin and a piano duet by Miss Lyster and Mr. A. J. Krehbiel were the next two numbers on the program and the performers won many compliments. The vocal solo, "Should He Upbraid," by Miss Campbell was splendid. Miss Campbell has a sweet voice and controls it well. Roy Hair played the "Valse Chromatique" to perfection. The highest expectation of the audience as to Professor Penny's ability as an artist were fully met by his rendering of Weber's concertstuek, assisted by the orchestra. His execution was faultless and his expression perfect. The piano must own him its master.
Miss Moore, in her charming and graceful style, next sang "Since First I Met Thee." The pleasing qualities of Miss Moore's Voice are bound to make her a favorite in Lawrence audiences. Miss Daisy Orton played a selection from "Rubenstein" and showea much musical talent. As a grand finale
the Handel and Haydn society sang a chorus from Goul's "Holy City." The echoing chorus gave an unexpected but delightful effect.
If Professor Penny considered this effort as a kind of experiment he can congratulate himself upon his success. He will find nowhere a more talented and appreciative audience than in Lawrence and his department will receive hearty support. The concert was a boon to the University and we hope we shall have many more like it.
True Oratory. FAUST
FAUST.
You'll ne'er attain it, save you know the feeling, save from the soul it rises clear.
Serene in primal strength compelling
The hearts and minds of all who hear.
You sit forever gluing, patching.
You sit forever gluing, patching.
You cook the scraps from others fare;
And from your heap of ashes hatching a starveling flame.
Ye blow it bare!
Save your own heart is eloquent WAGNER.
But ne'er from heart to heart you'll speak inspiring,
Yet through delivery orators succeed.
FAUST.
Seek thou the honest recompense
Beware a tinkling fool to be!
With little art, clear sense and wit suggest their own delivery;
And if thou art moved to speak in earnest, what need that after words thou yearnest?

Contest tonight!
PRESIDENT ANDREWS, of Brown University, has introduced a new scheme for marking the senior class psychology. The class is to choose eight or ten men, who will mark every recitation during the term. These markings will then be averaged and the averages so obtained will be the marks of the class for the term.-Ex.
The seniors at K. S. U. do not take psychology. This exquisit pleasure is the right inherent of the of the sophomores.
LATEST.—The official count reveals the fact that the State Oratorical contest will be held at Emporia February 20 instead of February 13. Immediately after the contest tonight let some energetic person or persons solicit the names of those who will go to Emporia and make arrangements for a special train, colors, etc. K. S. U. must take Emporia by storm next month, first, last and all the time. In order to do so we must have some systematic effort.
The foot ball season being over Salem Goodale, the Baker University foot-ball man, has left college or rather discontinued his one study in the music department and gone to Michigan. It is also rumored that Mr. Jack Harris, who played half back for Baker in the last K. S. U.—Baker match, is not in school now. We have also heard on pretty good authority that Mr. Harris was never a student of Baker, not even to the extent of one music study. This can hardly be however because we have Captain Goodale's and Manager Moorhead's pledged word to the effect that he was a student and surely these are honorable men—both honorable men. Besides this they both come from a good Methodist institution.
The University of Michigan Glee Club will sing in Kansas City about April 15th. There are thirty members of the glee and banjo clubs and their tour will be for the benefit of the gymnasium fund. At a recent concert in Detroit the proceeds of the entertainment and the subscriptions given at its conclusion amounted to $4,400. Joseph W. Waterman has given $20,000 towards the gymnasium fund on condition that the University raise an equal sum. About $10,000 has already been raised and the remainder will probably be raised soon. Besides this fund Michigan University has an old fund for gymnasium purposes of about $6,000. President Angell is taking an active interest in the securing of this fund and in the erection of the gymnasium. In this connection it might be pertinent to inquire what steps the authorities of our University are making towards securing the $10,000 or fraction thereof, to be given for gymnasium purposes by Col. J. J. McCook when the University shall have raised an equal sum? It will soon be a year since the offer was made. If any active steps toward raising the sum have been taken, we have not heard of them. It will be a
disgrace to the University and an injustice to every student if this offer is let go by default and without the most strenuous efforts being made to fulfill the conditions necessary to secure to it. Not only this, but other men will be deterred from giving to the University when they see with what apparent indifference such gifts are regarded. It would seem, at least poor policy for the University to foster and push a scheme to put a $5,000 organ in the chapel, while this offer of Colonel McCook's is lying before it unacted upon. Especially as the money is to come from the same persons who would be looked upon to contribute to the gymnasium fund.
THAT DESTITUTED FIELD! !
It is said by some that Galen Nichols will represent K. S. U. We hope so. Reason why—do you remember that fifth place last year and seventh the year before. This is his record in Baker.
Will Priestly has gone to K. S. U. to try his oratorical powers in that destituted field.-Baker Beacon.
*
It is exceedingly painful for the Courier to be compelled to spoil the great satisfaction and capital which Baker hoped to derive from the above. With all due respect to Mr. Nichols and Mr. Priestly we feel compelled to state that owing to various and sundry good reasons, neither of these gentlemen will represent K. S. U. this year. The Beacon may possibly have heard that there were ten orations handed in to a committee of the faculty and that only the best six of these were chosen. As Mr. Priestly won third place at Baker year before last the Beacon will probably be interested in knowing that Mr. Priestly's oration was graded tenth on the list of those handed to the faculty committee.
K. S. U. does not brag and bluster about winning the state contest his year but she will go into the battle determined and with confidence as to the final result.
THE GERMAN STOVE.
The following extract published in the K. C. Journal from a personal letter written by Neil C. Brooks, class of '90, who is now attending the University of Berlin, gives his experience with the German porcelain stove:
"The late cold spell, with the thermometer ranging about the zero point, has given me a chance to test the inefficiency of my stove, and it surely comes up to my fullest expectations. The Germans seem to heat on a different principle from the Americans. While we aim to impart a comfortable temperature to the room the Germans strive merely to keep the stove warm. When that is accomplished they seem to think nothing more can be desired. It is amusing to see my landlady come in and feel of my stove in order to judge the heat of the room. I have had to get a blanket to wrap my feet and legs in; with this and by wearing my overcoat and getting as much of myself against the stove as possible, I manage to eke out an unfrozen existence. When I get too cold I go out doors to warm up. I have not yet found any way to keep my hands warm while writing. The situation is about as bad as it could be; still I do not catch cold and sleep warmly with a feather bed above as well as under me. You have doubtless noticed places in the second story of buildings where a flue from the first story passes up and makes the wall quite warm above. Such a place gives you a good idea of the heat of a German stove. Common sense iron stoves are occasionally seen here, but are not much in use. The Germans call them American stoves. The fuel burnt in my stove is a sort of peat pressed into regularly shaped pieces resembling in size and shape a bar of laundry soap. My landlady pays 80 pfennig a hundred for them, and I pay her 25 pfennig a day for fire and have to take just what she gives me. After a fire is built there is no replenishing it chiefly because there is no fire to replenish, only a pile of warm bricks. If they cool off before evening a second completely new fire has to be built. Altogether it is a very unsatisfactory arrangement."
George Bancroft.
With the death of George Bancroft at the advanced age of ninety-one years, America looses one of her most noted men and one of her most shining literary lights.
Mr. Bancroft was always fond of outdoor exercise, to which, in a large measure, he attributed his good health and prolonged life. He regarded his life work as finished two years ago, and of late had done no literary work. During the last decade he had revised his great work, the history of the United States, going over it in a severely critical style and eliminating the flowers of rhetoric in the early work. His last production was a history of the formation of the constitution.
In 1820, Bancroft was given the degree of Ph. D. by the University of Gottingen.
George Bancroft was born in Worcester, Mass., October 3, 1800 He was prepared for college at Exeter, N. H., was graduated at Harvard in 1817, and went to Germany. At Gottingen, where he resided for two years, he studied German literature under Benecke; French and Italian literature under Artaud and Bunsen; Arabic, Hebrew and Scripture under Planck and Heeren; Natural History under Blumenbach; and the Antiquities and Literature of Greece and Rome under Dissen, with whom he took a course in Greek philosophy.
Removing to Berlin, he became intimate with Schleiermacher, William Von Hunaaboldt, Saviguy, Lappenberg and Barnhagen Von Ense, and at Jena he made the acquaintance of Goethe. He studied at Heidelberg with the historian, Schlosser.
In 1822 he returned to the United States and accepted, for one year, the office of tutor of Greek in Harvard.
His first publication was a volume of poems in 1823.
In 1834 he published the first volume of his "History of the United States."
In 1844 he was nominated by the democratic party for governor of Massachusetts, and received a very large vote, though not sufficient for election. After the accession of President Polk, Mr. Bancroft became secretary of the navy.
From 1846 to 1849 Mr. Bancroft was minister to Great Britain. In May, 1867, he was appointed minister to Russia, in 1868 he was accredited to the North German confederation, and in 1871 to the German empire, from which he was recalled at his own request in 1874.
In 1849 Mr. Banroft took up his residence in New York City and continued work on his history. The third volume had appeared in 1840, and volumes four to ten at intervals from 1851 to 1874. In 1879 the work was revised and issued in a centenary edition of six volumes. Volumes eleven and twelve were published first under the title,"History of the Formation of the Constitution of the United States." The last revised edition of the whole work appeared in six volumes,1884-1885.

Oratorical Contest.
Mr. John Sullivan, a graduate of the Law Department, and now a prominent lawyer of Kansas City, visited the Law recitations Monday morning. At the request of Prof. Green he made some very interesting remarks to the students, which were highly appreciated. He says "that in Kansas City one comes in contact with graduates of all the eastern law schools, as well as of K. S. U., and that it is very gratifying to see that the graduates of K. S. U. work right along shoulder to shoulder with them, showing that the instruction received here is in every respect equal to that of the older Law schools of the United States." Mr. Sullivan takes a very great interest in the K. S. U. Law Department, and is doing some good work in its behalf.
Mr. Dowling, of Abilene, Kansas has recently entered the Senior class.
The Eighth Local Oratorical contest will be held in University chapel this evening. The excitement over the outcome is intense, and there will be the largest crowd to-night ever in attendance at a local contest. The orators are all of them strong men and it would be a mere guess as to who will win, suffice it to say that the winner will undoubtedly be the best orator ever sent from K. S. U. to a state contest.

The Secret of Success.
If you wish to succeed in business you must adopt a line and stick to it. There are thousands of persons throughout the country who act as mere machines for others to direct and guide; if they are not employed by some person who is in business, they can find nothing to do. We hear repeated so often this: "I can find nothing to do; nobody wants me." This is not true; there is something wanted by everybody, but if you are a mere machine, merely respond to other's directions; often you will find no one to direct you. If you have not employment take up the agency for something that you consider is a good and legitimate business, some work for which you know there will be a demand and pursue it.
Frank C. Clark,almost a stranger in our city, last January opened a a small copying office at the Electrical Supply Co.'s office and for several months was apparently going backwards, and by many he was pronounced a failure, but he stuck to the business and used every means possible to extend it,a few months later as his business enlarged he moved his office to the next door west, where he could have more room and do more effectual work. After following this for several months he leased a room in the new German-American bank building bought out the agency of the new Smith Premier type writer. He spared neither pains nor expense to furnish the public with an absolutely perfect type-writing machine.
The above taken from the St. Joseph Herald concerns a former University student, and is only a small part of the article concerning Mr. Clark and his pluck and success in business, veritably nothing succeeds like success and none succeed better than University students.
AMUSEMENTS.
The Alumni of Michigan University, at Topeka, about thirty in number, have extended an invitation to the Western Alumni of that institution to hold the annual banquet at Topeka instead of at Kansas City, where it has been held for the last three years. The banquet will be held in May but the place has not been located yet.
BLIND TOM'S PIANO RECITALS.
The piano recitals of Blind Tom, now playing an engagement at the Madison Street Theatre, are proving very entertaining to their patrons. Tom's program is a diversified one, and pleases his audiences. Prof. T. J. Bronson, of Chicago, was invited to the stage last night and played quite an intricate selection of his own composition. Tom's imitation of this was a remarkable one.-Chicago. (Ill.) Daily Inter-Ocean, Oct. 14, 1889.

NELLIE THACHER HENRY.
Nellie Green Thacher, youngest daughter of Judge Solon O. Thacher, was born in Lawrence, and spent the greater part of her life here. She entered the Preparatory Department of the State University in 1873 and graduated in 1881. She was so fortunately situated as not to be compelled to hurry, and following her tastes took in addition to other required studies all the Latin, Greek, German and French then in the course. Good in all studies, in these she was gifted. In Latin her translations of Horace were neat and appreciative. Several of them were printed in the University papers of those years, and one of the best is in the "Sunflowers" volume of K. S. U. poetry—a poem which reads at this time with peculiar pathos. In French she acquired unusual mastery of the spoken idiom, so that in later years during her visits to Europe, she found herself quite at ease in France.
In 1885-86, during the absence of Prof. Carruth, she occupied the chair of German, and made many friends among the present generation of students, by her grace, kindness and ability.
Among her class-mates were Mrs G E Little, Mrs Prof Wilecox, Miss Woodward, Mrs W H Sears, C F Scott, Scott Hopkins, P L Sopor. B S Hutchins and Stuart O Henry. Everywhere she was a favorite. The intimacy with Mr. Henry ripened into love which was consummated by their marriage in 1889.
Death has been lenient toward our graduates, but he has taken this time one whose loss will be felt widely and long, and whose absence makes a gap in the ranks of the Alumni, toward which year after year many an eye will turn with tears and longing affection. The Courier voices the general sympathy of the University to the husband, parents and sister.
At the funeral on the 17th, exChancellor Marvin assisted in the services, and the pall-bearers were: Professors J. H. Canfield, Robinson, Miller, Marvin, A. G. Canfield and Carruth.

Real Happiness.
Sixteen years ago W. D. Pyles was 19 years old. He tells the story of his life in The Rural New Yorker, William had worked for his father on the farm till he was 19, and had then only $5. He lent that $5 to an acquaintance, and never saw it again. That cured him for life of the money lending propensity.
Then William went to work at $14 a month and his board for a dairyman. He had the determination to get on in the world, so he began the first month to save money. After the first month the dairyman gave him more wages, and continued for several months to raise him $1 per month. The ambitions young man put it away in bank as fast as he could spare it. By and by he had $500 in bank, almost before he knew it. The little sums he saved required self denial and grit, but he had both.
With his $500 he bought a "truck farm" in Prince George county, Md., and began to raise vegetables for the Washington city markets. After that his money accumulated faster, and he was soon able to pay for his fifteen acre farm. Time went on and he still saved money, not grindlingly or in a miserly way, but shrewdy and carefully. In a few more years he added twenty-five acres to his little farm, paid for it and built a good house.
Now Pyles is 35 years old. He has everything paid for, is still young, has luxuries in the way of food, light, air, carriages and horses, etc., that persons in the city worth ten times as much money as he cannot get at any price. The hardest work on his vegetable farm he no longer does with his own hands. He hires men to do it whose fathers gave them an infinitely better start in the world than he had, but who are now so poor they do not even own a family cow. They did not have the grit the poor young man had. He attributes all his success to his early formed habit of saving part of his earnings.
If he only knows it, and he probably does, William is as near perfect happiness as it is allotted to man to be. He has every comfort that man needs and many luxuries. His open air life is conducive to the highest health, and there is leisure enough in it for intellectual enjoyment. If he wants to he can take a trip to Europe with the additional savings which he will acquaintate. What more does a man want than he has?
London Wash Houses.
One feature of London civilization might well be introduced into crowded districts in American towns and cities. That is the public wash house. A large establishment is fitted up with the most approved modern laundry appliances. Stalls and tubs are provided to accommodate perhaps 150 to 200 women at once. Hot and cold water, steam and drying and ironing appliances are furnished, so that in three hours' time a woman may finish entirely the laundry work for a small family.
A small charge is made to each washer for the use of the place. It amounts to three cents for the first two hours, and after that to four cents an hour. Small as this charge it is pays all expenses and a profit besides, so many are those availing themselves of the opportunity to do their family washing where they have plenty of room and water. This public laundry is an aid to cleanliness and health as well as a convenience.
The superintendent of one such establishment informed an American newspaper correspondent that it was patronized by not less than 900 families a week, necessitating the employment of each stall and set of tubs three times a day. Those in our own country who are
trying to help the poor in cities to higher and better ways of living have here a first class suggestion.
It is difficult for an American to understand the sensation of a person at the first sight of snow. As many as 100,000 south Italians and orientals experienced that sensation, however, for the first time this winter in various parts of the country. In New York no less than 40,000 Nepolitanians were in this plight. The cold doubled them up and knocked them out completely, but still they stood gazing up at the sky in a state of stupefaction, watching the snowflakes falling. They did not know what they were. This was not like hot Naples, where the people have their kitchens outdoors.
Owing to an accident the publisher of The Middleborough Daily Gazette in England was unable to print his paper one night. He resorted to a scheme to to get it out on time that was worthy of Yankee ingenuity. He laid some large iron plates in the level yard of the Grand hotel next to his press room. Then he brought a fifteen ton steam road roller into action, fired it up and geared it rapidly, and started it into doing the press work of his paper. The journal thus printed by a road roller reached its readers only one hour late.
The czar has ordered the suspension of the anti-Jewish laws, on the representation of his minister of finance that their operation would offend the Jew bankers of Europe, and his majesty might not be able to borrow money when he wished. Fortunately the Jews have thus one means of redress, and a good one. Money talks, and money can even set aside laws sometimes.
Public trials for heresy are sure to make more heretics, says The Boston Globe.
The Mexican Gilt railway, in Mexico, is the most gorgeously constructed road in the world. Its ties are of solid mahogany, and many of its bridges and culverts are of white marble. The contractors say these magnificent materials are the cheapest they could use, since both abounded along the line of the railway.
In Georgia the question has been settled whether a congregation can be compelled to pay its preacher. Chief Justice Bleekley has decided that the Baptist church at Antioch must be sold to pay the salary of its pastor. Doubelless that laggard congregation will now hustle to buy it in. They would scarcely like to see it pass out of their hands because they failed to pay their pastor.
Andrew and Rachel Jackson appreciated the corn cob pipe at its proper value when they used to sit, one on each side of their big fireplace, at the homestead in Tennessee, before the general was elected president, and smoke the tobacco leaves raised upon their own farm. They would have none of your new fangled meerschaums, would Andrew and Rachel. They contended that the flavor of tobacco smoke was never so sweet as when drawn through the bowl of a cob pipe. Now after all these years our British brethren, too, are about to be made acquainted with the virtues of the cob pipe. A Michigan factory is making these pipes and sending them to England. Doubtless the British will think they are from some rare and curious tree, and they will become a fashion.
old at 40, and aged at 50. Lincoln called himself an old man at 39, and when Washington was 55 he spoke of his "advanced season of life." Now nobody seems old any more as long as he can be a man among men, and do the full work of one. The average age of the United States senators at present is 59, and several of the justices of the supreme court are past 70.
A change has come over the estimate of mankind in regard to age, says a writer in The Century. Men used to be
When Are We Old?
As supplementing the article in The Century, Malcolm W. Ford, the athlete, has recently written a paper showing that even the physical activity of man covers a longer period than is generally supposed. He discusses the age at which an athlete's powers wane and he may no longer consider himself eligible for prize contests. William B. Curtis, one of the pioneer American athletes, was winning prizes in contests at the age of 46, and was throwing weights then better than he had ever done. Henry E. Buermeyer, 52 years of age, can still "break an ordinary man almost in two." The athlete who breaks down young is the fast liver. Donald Dinnie, a Scotchman whom Mr. Ford knew, was going around the country engaging in athletic contests and winning them at the age of 52. When Dinnie was 40 years old he considered himself as good at running and jumping as he had ever been. So when is a man to consider himself old?
The golden polypoly fern, known to botanists as Phlebodium aureum, is regarded as a typical species of the Phlebodium group. It is a strong grower, strikingly bold in habit, and owing to its glaucous foliage conspicuous. The popular appellation of golden polypoly, under which this handsome plant is best known, may have been derived from the glossy brown color of the scutes that cover the older portions of its rhizomes; but it may also be due to the intense golden hue of the underside of its fertile fronds. This class of ferns is very useful for decoration, the noble fronds producing a striking contrast with those of other ferns with which they are associated in the warm fernery. When planted out their naturally wild growing rhizomes grow apace and produce fronds in abundance.
A. M. H.
As may be seen by the accompanying illustration of P. aureum, though their fronds are of variable dimensions, they have a natural tendency to grow on a single rhizome, and would in that way be of little use as pot plants. To obviate this mode of growth the extremity of the rhizome is cut off entirely when only two inches high, the result being the production of several lateral rhizomes growing out of the mutilated one in all directions, thus making a bushy compact plant. It requires substantial food; a mixture consisting of about equal proportions of fibrous peat, loam, and silver sand suits them best. They must also receive a liberal supply of water at the roots while growing, and during that time they will also derive great benefit from occasional waterings with weak liquid manure.

LOCALS AND PERSONALS.
G. O. Virtue and brother spent last Saturday in Kansas City.
Mr. J. A. Mushrush, one of the University alumni, was in the city Sunday.
Paul Hudson came down from Topeka to attend the Oratorical Contest.
Clerk Moody, when Hadley was declared winner, promptly said "told you so."
The mill has been grinding hard all week and examinations are once more about over.
The proper thing to do is to send an enthusiastic crowd to Emporia to support Hadley.
Mr. O. B. Taylor, a former student from Leavenworth, was at the University Monday.
Mr. Isaac Moris, of Nortonville, Kan., and brother of Ohio, were shown through the University Friday by Mr. Fellow.
Some of the students whose exam's came the first of the week have gone home for a short vacation.
Mr. and Mrs. Fullerton, of Edgerton, Kan., spent a day in the city this week with their nephew, W. M. Curry.
Mr. L. L. Davis, an old student and graduate of the law department is taking a vacation in Lawrence. Mr. Davis is practicing law in Topeka.
Harvey Bear, who can arouse more enthusiasm among the University students than any other man on earth, attended the contest Friday night.
A recent issue af the Bronson (Bourbon county) Pilot, contains a well written letter concerning the University and its work by J.M. Davis Jr. If more of the students would write letters to their papers it would aid much in extending the influence of the University.
This is a specimen of puns countenanced by the faculty: a certain student had made frequent use of the expression "for to" in a translation, when the professor, one of the most dignified in the University, remarked that that was a most fortuitous translation, and the class all thought so too.
Professor Annan, the noted elocutionist of Chicago will give an entertainment next Tuesday evening Feb. 3 at Congregational church under the auspices of the Y. P. S. C. E. of that church. The Leavenworth Evening Standard says: "Professor Annan exercises a nice discriminating taste and is very successful in merging his personality completely with the intent and purpose of the author he is reading from."
LAWRENCE, KANSAS, JAN. 30, 1891.
THE LOCAL CONTEST.
Herbert S. Hadley Will be the K.
S. U. Standard Bearer at Emly constructed. He was ranked second by the judges.
A little after 8 o'clock the orators entered the hall and were vigorously cheered. Vice President W. W. Brown occupied the president's chair owing to Mr. Bowersock appearing on the program. The exercises were opened with a song by the Glee Club. Rev. H. L. Yarger of the Lutheran church then gave a short invocation.
The largest crowd ever in attendance at a local contest, gathered in the chapel last Friday night to listen to the eighth oratorical contest of the K. S. U. Oratorical Association. The excitement was intense for all the six orators were known to be strong men, and it was a mere guess as to which one of them would be the winner. Never in the history of University contests had there been more doubt as to the outcome. So strong, indeed, were the contestants that it was generally conceded that the winner Friday night would undoubtedly be the winner at the state contest. This enhanced the interest of the occasion and placed everybody on the "qui vive."
President Brown then introduced the first orator of the evening, Otis H. Holmes, who spoke on the subject: "By This Sign ($) We Conquer."
Taken all in all, Holmes had the best delivery of the evening. His gestures were effective and easy, his enunciation distinct. He, more than all the others, brought the points of his oration clearly before the minds of the audience. His oration, as a whole, was more artistically constructed. He was ranked second by the judges.
Mr. Holmes took for his text the saying of Guizot, that "the complete array of a single dominant element in a nation's civilization many produce a rapid and brilliant development of civilization, but it will also bring on afterwards a rapid decline." Germany and Spain were cited as having furnished examples at times in their history of the domination of one element. The fact was brought out that there is one consuming ambition in America. That the whole soul of the American people is bound up in the spirit of money getting literature, science, philosophy and religion are being neglected in the mad race for gold. Mammon dominates in our land. We must build up an aristocracy of thought, which shall be able to hold its own against the aristocracy of mercantilism. We must know that there is something in the world besides money. Let us do this and we shall see in the Heaven's a cross and above, the words: "By This Sign We Conquer."
The next oration was by J. W. Park, of the Sophomore class, and was entitled: "Sectionalism From a Southern Standpoint." Mr. Park showed that sectionalism still existed between the north and south, and that there was no need of it. He said that the old question of the war had been settled, and settled forever. The south was as patriotic as the north, and ready to meet the north half way in a friendly interchange of courtesies. He showed that the emancipation of the negro was the emancipation of the white man. He spoke of the industrial development of the new south. New questions like the temperance question, foreign immigration, labor problems, have arisen, which demand the attention of a united country, irrespective of sectional lines. "When all rancor and all bitterness has been removed, then let the words uttered by Daniel Webster years ago, now be raised again on the hills of New England. The plains of the Carolinas will not be slow to take them up, westward they will roll till they are thrown back by the waves of the Pacific, while sixty millions of united people send them up to Heaven in one mighty chorus: "Liberty and Union, one and inseperable, now and forever."
The next oration was, "The Spirit of Dissent a Factor in Progress," by R. D. Brown of the Junior class. The drift of this oration was to show that although the welfare and existence of society demands a conservative element, yet every stage in the progress of liberty has been won by those who have dissented from existing conditions. History can show no nation in the past that has arisen without a struggle. But dissent is the law of progress no less in matters of thought than in matters of government. The same laws free the heart that free the hand. The dissent of today does not come in war, the contest is being transferred to higher ground.
Park's oration was one of the best of the evening but its effect was marred by the speaker forgetting several times and by lack of training. The earnestness and directness of the speaker were very pleasing and showed original thought on his subject.
Brown was the most earnest and forcible speaker on the program. His gestures were effective in the man but not easy. His enunciation was not as distinct as it should have been to have placed his oration before the audience in the most effective manner. Brown received three first ranks out of the six but
The next oration was by Jus. D. Bowersock, and was entitled, "Advance the Lines." He spoke of the progress in the past, and the great necessity for a greater progress in the future. He spoke of the great evils of the present day and took the stand that America should be the first nation to remember their civilization. Civilization requires a stronger will, a clearer conscience, a higher knowledge, a greater indivuality, a grander public spirit; a will consulting itself, not only the circumstances around it; a conscience sensitive to injustice, sanctioning right, condemning wrong; a knowledge greater than can come from books; an individuality independent of governments and patrons for support; a public spirit higher, nobler than nationality—these are the things which will place us at the head of all nations.
was given fourth place in the final summary.
Bowersock had one of the best deliveries of the evening. His chief fault being that he seemed to rise to the very greatest height of his ability and he did not carry the idea of a reserve force. His gestures were easy and his manner natural. His voice was good and his enunciation clear. He received the most genuine applause of any of the speakers.
The fifth oration was entitled:
"Oliver Cromwell and Puritanism."
The oration was a splendid tribute to the worth and manliness of Oliver Cromwell, and to the Puritan influence in England. He traced the beginnings of the reformation, from a little rivulet in Germany, until it became a mighty river in England. The contest and struggle between the Puritan and Cavalier, which ended in the exaltation of Cromwell to the throne of England, was traced with great vividness. The final sequence of the great drama was portrayed with striking effect. H. S. Hadley was easy on the stage and his gestures were easy, although tending a little too much toward the "wavy-willowing flowing" style. Although suffering from a cold, his voice and ennunciation were good. With a good oration, well spoken, he received first place by the judges, and will represent K. S. U. worthily in the state contest.
The last oration was "Charles Sumner and the Kansas Struggle" by H. F. Roberts. Mr. Roberts first, discussed the slavery question in general, showing how the united south for a long time was dominant over a divided north. Slavery continued to spread till at last Kansas, the New England of the west, was applying for admission as a free state. The career of Charles Sumner was traced to its conclusion. His great works in the cause of freeing Kansas was vividly portrayed. Mr. Robert's oration was one of the most original and the best written oration of the evening but it was not arranged suitable for an oratorical delivery. It abounded in fine passages. Mr. Roberts did not have a very good voice and he showed lack of training.

THOUGHT AND COMPOSITION.
Prince and Pauper.
One of the most beautiful plays produced in Lawrence for years will be Mark Twain's Prince and Pauper, as dramatized by that talented lady, Miss Georgia Brown. Over fifty-four people are in the cast and when all are on the stage in their magnificent costumes the senic effect is simply grand. Little Eva Brown in the dual role of the Prince and the Paucer is charming and speaks right to the heart of all her hearers. The entire cast is strong and one dramatic scene follows another in a rapid panorama of varied richness and splendor. A large and enthusiastic audience greeted the first production of the play last night and the prospects are that the opera house will be packed tonight and tomorrow night. The seats are on sale at Crew's.

THE COURIER publishes a letter from William Harvey Brown in this issue which will interest his large circle of University friends. A letter from the United States Consul, at Cape Town, dated Nov. 18th, 1890, states that the expedition has arrived safely at its destination and that no attacks from the natives are to be feared now. The Consul says that while at Cape Town, Brown spent much time at rifle practice and is considered one of the best shots and all around woodsmen in the expedition. A letter received by the Consul from Brown stated that he was in good health and very busy collecting specimens, the country being full of all kinds of animal life. Every one will be glad to hear of Brown's success, for he was one of the self made men of the University, and while here was the admiration and esteem of all, not only by his great perseverance and pluck but for all his manly qualities.
CHANCELLOR SNOW has received in the last few days a number of letters from young men in the east in reference to entering school here. One or two letters have been received from students in Philips Exeler Academy, one of the preparatory schools in the east. These students feeling that they cannot afford the expense of attending one of the great eastern Universities such as Harvard or Yale, desire to enter a college where tuition is free and where they can pursue their courses much cheaper than they can at any other college of equal standing. They are also attracted to a school where those having ability and character, although without much wealth, are recognized as social equals much more than at the great eastern centers of aristocracy. It may be that in a few years it will be as common for an eastern young man or woman to come to a western University as is now for westerners to go to an eastern University. Western people will send their children east for a year or two in order to get the polish and general culture of the east. Eastern people will send their children west to receive part of their education in the free and bracing educational atmosphere of the west and to have them get in line with western methods and ideas.
Some Views on Things in General.
The above heading is chosen for this article on account of its comprehensiveness, like a political party's platform it may cover anything and everything; it is perfectly adaptable to the circumstances in any and all cases, and in any event will leave a loop-hole by which the writer may escape if the occasion requires it. One of the great events of the school year has come and gone, oratory has spread her wings and scared aloft to the amazemen of the first year students and the joy of the personal friends of the respective orators. But alas, the decision of the judges, like the federal appointments, made one happy man and cast all the rest down with despair and chagrin. Each of the orators was rewarded with "heart felt and long continued applause," provided he waited long enough. Then while the audience was waiting, that the judges might be appropriately deliberate in rendering their decision, the officers of the Oratorical Association and other important persons paraded through the aisles, while the mob in the gallery called the name of each dignitary as he appeared, in order that strangers might know who were our prominent characters. But finally all the important personages, with due parade, got together and held a wise consultation, then there being nothing else to do, Prof. Fulton, a real, live professor of elocution and oratory from Kansas City, consented to entertain the "highly appreciative" and most "cultured" audience until the judges should agree. Prof. Fulton, by the aid of a few jestures scarcely worth the speaking of, put the audience in an excellent humor and prepared the way for anything that the judges might announce. Finally the president appeared on the rostrum, holding in his hand a slip of paper from which he read the decision of the judges, reading the second place first. The second place elicited some slight applause, but we reserved our strength for the first man. The opportunity came. We made a good start on Rock-Chalk-Jay-Hawk, but just then two or three small boys in the back gallery started a cry that sounded something like this:
Sky high,
Phi Psi.
Live ever, die never
The Rock Chalk was stopped and slowly and solemnly the audiences filed out to the continued cry of
Phi Kappa Psi.
Sky high,
Phi Psi.
Live ever, die never,
Phi Kappa Psi.
I had also intended to venture some remarks on the pernicious custom of examination, but as the grades are not yet all in, and some professor might take to heart what I should say, I will defer my remarks to a more suitable time. CAXTON.

WITH
AN EXPLORING PARTY.
An Interesting Letter From Hervey White, Formerly of the University.
*n* are permitted to copy the following extract
from Mr. White to Chancellor
Snow—Ed.
The party consisting of ten observers and twenty-five hands,mostly Mexicans, with a train of seventy animals, horses burros, and mules has travelled from southern Arizona into Mexico through the towns of San Pedro, Fronteras, Oputo, Guasabas, Granadas, Bacadahueache, Nacori, and are now some twenty miles from Casas Grandes. This takes in considerable mountain desert before the town of Oputo, then the Bavispe valley south to Granadas, some of the mountains across the Nacori valley, the main range of Sierra Madre, the Bavispe river again near its source at the old trail made by General Crook and then the mesas to Casas Grandes.
In my own work there has been much of a sameness. Are still in mountains of the same upheaval as those in which we started. Rock is all felsite, varying much, sometimes running into granite. No mineral veins to speak of. I have made but one real find. In the Nacori valley, around the town of Nacori, are quite a number of large bones in the clay of an old river deposit. They are very poorly preserved, however, not being silicified in the least and are all fragments save one, looking somewhat like mastodon bones. That one is the find. It is a horn six feet, eight inches long, twenty-six inches in circumference in the largest place having the curve of a circle though completing only about 200 degrees, with a compound lateral curvation of eleven inches. The color is horn brown and black, the tip, blunt and worn. If one could imagine a head large enough to carry it, he might liken it to the horn of an African buffalo. That it is a horn and not a tusk, I have no doubt, every one is convinced of that. At the base it is thin, one-eighth of an inch, and horn like, and the hollow thirty-two inches long, tapers rapidly. Can you give me any clue as to what it can be? Mr. Stephen says he never heard of anything of the kind. and Prof. Libbey shrugs his shoulders and says: "Leave that to the geologists." You probably know that he is Professor of Physical Geography. The specimen was under twenty-five feet of clay. Other bones have been seen near by and I found a few fragments but I am satisfied that the horn was alone and hollow when deposited there. These bones are scattered all through this terrace there, and no doubt more will come to light as erosion goes on, but being so frail they go to pieces at once, and as there seem to be no beds of them it does not pay to dig blindly. The horn itself is but poorly preserved, being soft and flaky, but it is entire and packed as good as possible, with the material we had.
In archaeology, too, the report is rather meagre. There have been two kinds of ruins, if you could call them such, one in the valley of the Bavispe, and the other in the mountains and along the Bavispe, near the source. The first class, or that of the valley's, consists of rows of stones set in the ground, sometimes in long lines, but oftener in squares looking like the ground plans of houses, sometimes forming a series of rooms around a hollow court, but often arranged on each side of streets or irregularly suiting the lay of the ground. These stones are about a foot in diameter, such as lie about handy and are set in the ground for about half their depth, and say from twelve to eighteen inches apart. The ruins are found on the high terrace, back from the river, rarely on the flat, sandy terrace below. Bits of pottery are usually found, but of a poor grade, and the decorated is very rare. Mr. Stephen tells me these same forms are found in Arizona and New Mexico, and explains them as being supports for the brush huts of wandering tribes. The second class or those found in the mountains, seem to have been made by the house-building Indians. The houses which, while they are near water, are always way up on some commanding point, often 600 feet above the stream, consist of rude walls of undressed stone, never more than four feet high. Sometimes they are solitary, but oftener are in small villages. They can be found on any hill top near water. Connected with these is the most remarkable part of the ruins, consisting of rifles or dams built across every draw, hollow and canon in the mountains. They can be counted literally by the thousand, from the mountain tops to the streams, every where since we left the Bavispe river at Granadas. They too are walls built of undressed stones, broad at the base like a dam, and all the way from one to ten feet high, and stretching across the stream some times not more than four feet in narrow canons and often one hundred yards in the wide shallow hollows. There is always a series of these rifles. I have counted thirty in one canon, at different distances from each other. They seem to have been built to catch the dirt that washes down from above, thus making a level spot on which to cultivate the corn of the people. At least they have done this, and have given the canons the appearance of wide terraces. They could have hardly been built for mining as there is nothing here to mine. Around the houses, ruins can usually be picked up, fragments of pottery, often decorated. I am saving a piece of each type for the corner in the museum in Snow Hall. The Princeton men here are making their little collections, and I see no reason why I should not do the same, especially when they take up so little space. I am also making a little collection of ferns for the herbarium, and just as winter set in I began to pick up the curious beetles
for you, but the result of so late a start is only two specimens. Though I can say that our entomologist has neither of those in his collection. They are from the mountain tops.
The vegetation has probably been much the same as would be seen in Arizona and New Mexico. Several varieties of scrub oaks and pines. Along the Bavispe we saw two species of palms, one of which was the date, some orange trees, (cultivated,) and plenty of mesquite. Cacti too are numerous, though the variety is not so great. Some fine agavas grow here that our botanist thinks new.
The weather is generally warm and pleasant, cool at night. Down to seventeen, above once. Our greatest elevation was 8,850 feet.
UNIVERSITY life has been unusually quiet this week owing to the oratorical contest being out of the way and the examinations in the way. The new term will usher in a number of parties and social events as well as new students, and University life, after a little flutter of gaity, resume its normal state.
At a meeting held a few days ago at Washington, D. C., Prof. Y. W. Blackmar, was elected a member of the executive council of the American Economic Association of which Francis A Walker is president. This association was organized in 1885 and is for the encouragement of economic research and to promote freedom in the discussion of economic subjects. A number of economic works are published each year. The election of Professor Blackmar to the council is a deserving compliment to that gentleman and as a member he will honor both the University and Kansas.

AN INTERESTING LETTER.
William Harvey Brown Tells About Africa and Cape Town.
William Harvey Brown, '89, now in Africa writes a personal letter to friends in this country, from which the Courier is permitted to make extracts. The letter is dated from Cape Town, March 13th, 1890, some time before Brown's departure for the interior of Africa. Mr. Brown says:
When our ship, the Pensacola, arrived at Table Bay every one viewed with interest and admiration the picturesque surroundings of Cape Town, settled under the shelter of Table mountain. On the left of this mountain is the Devil's Peak and on the right, the Lion's Rump and Lion's Head, separated from Table mountain by the Kloof.
When the ship anchored at 8 p. m. the wind was blowing down over the mountain with great force This was one of the "southeasters" as they are called and occur frequently during a portion of the year. The wind begins in the afternoon and towards evening becomes very intense, subsiding after night and the next morning will be calm and beautiful. This wind is very disagreeable as it makes it often unsafe to go in boats from the ships anchored in the bay to shore. It is also disagreeable in the streets of the city, as it blows dust in the eyes and gravel and dirt in the face. It is in one sense a blessing as the sewerage system of Cape Town is very poor and the wind thus becomes a purifier. It is for this reason called the "Doctor."
The next morning was calm and beautiful. It was the midst of summer and the lucious grapes, pears and other fruit brought to the ship were enough to make one happy.
The next afternoon I went ashore. We usually think of Africa as a wild unexplored country and you would be surprised as I was upon landing at Cape Town to find myself in a place where it takes but little imagination to think it a town in our own country. Here are hundreds of nice English speaking people with schools, colleges, libraries, railroads, telegraph lines, in short, everything which indicates the presence of modern civilization. White people and civilization are not confined to the cape alone but extend all overSouth Africa. As far north as the Orange river and farther in the west and farther to the northeast in the Orange Free State and the Transvaal Republic are towns, cities, farms and schools. As to the climate of South Africa there is none better in the world. For 880 miles from Cape Town the land is like that of Western Kansas, Montana and New Mexico, except that there are more bushes. The climate is clear, cool and rather windy.
ings are mostly of brick plastered outside. The suburbs extend for a considerable distance along the ocean. The languages spoken here are principally English and Dutch. The population is composed of English, Dutch, or descendants of the Dutch, Germans, about 6,000 Malays and Negroes.
The main portion of Cape Town is situated in the bend of the harbor and the streets are laid out at right angles to each other. The build-
There are not many negroes, but many with more or less negro blood in them. The Malays make up the main portion of the laboring class. These people were brought here as slaves by the Dutch East India company at an early time. I have not been able to ascertain just where they are from. They are the harness makers, wagon makers, cab drivers, and fishermen of the community. They are all in fair circumstances, as they dress well and seem contented. They do not as a rule work more than five days in the week—the remaining days are spent as holidays—and they go picnicing, often to the great inconvenience of the white people who need their services. They were, of course, freed from slavery about 1830. Their language is Dutch, but many of them speak English and the young ones especially are rapidly acquiring that language. They are without exception almost, Mohammedans, and they have several Mosques in the city. The women all dress in the Moslem style. They evidently wear a great number of skirts as their dresses stand out making them look very odd and fat. They wear a large silk handkerchief on the head and have a preference for blue, gold and various other gaudy colors. They are always dressed neat and clean. The men dress the same as white men, except that they wear the Mohammedan cap with tassel and the young men wear a silk handkerchief around the neck tucked under the vest which buttons up rather high in front. I consider this superior in comfort to wearing a collar and tie and looks much nicer.
A few negroes and white men adhere to the Mohammedan faith. According to this religion they are allowed from one to seven wives according to merit. A great many avail themselves of this priviledge. The negroes are mostly Hotten tots. One day I thought I heard a hyena howling and was greatly surprised at having a negro pointed out to me leaning against a tree. It is said they howl this way to show people that they are not yet an extinct race. They are more apt to howl on a damp rainy day.
There are a great many churches here. The principle point of interest are the Botanical gardens and the museum. Saturday is the great market day when auction sales of all kinds are held on the parade ground. Fruit and vegetables, live stock, fish and grain of all kinds are sold. The foers or farmers around here are most all well to do if not wealthy.
great crowd of people were carrying fish out of the dock to their houses and after the people had taken all they wanted the authorities hauled out considerably over sixty tons of fish and threw them into the ocean. It took fifty men thirteen hours to remove them.
This is a great place for fish. Last week the water was pumped out of the dry dock which is about 50x500 feet. For several hours a
I expecte to remain here until about the 10th of April when I shall start with an expedition to Mashonuland, a country just this side of the Zambesi river, and roughly speaking, 1700 miles from here. It will probably be a year before we return. The expedition goes to open and survey the country for settlement. The first 700 miles will be by railroad to Kimberly and the country that far and for some distance beyond is well settled. Not much wild Africa about it.
KEYS IN LUCK.
A Former University Man Strikes it Rich in Oklahoma.
St. Joseph, Mo.. Jan. 16.—M. J.Keys, formerly of Kansas City, received word today that the United States land office at Washington had passed favorably upon his Okahoma claim that was jumped by lot locaters. The land lies on the south side of Guthrie City and constitutes one-fourth of the entire city. It has rapidly risen in value, single lots selling for from $3,000 to $5,000. Mr. Keys will leave for Guthrie next Monday.
The above dispatch probably refers to a former superintendant of schools of Solomon City and graduate of the University in the class of '84. Keys went from Solomon to western Kansas, thence to Hutchinson, next to Missouri and ended up in Oklahoma. The decision rendered as given above will probably make him worth half a million.
Prof. W. J. Annan, elocutionist of Chicago, who is to give an entertainment at the Plymouth church next Tuesday evening, will remain in Lawrence and teach elocation and voice culture for one term if a sufficient number of pupils can be secured. His terms are reduced to $5.00 for ten lessons. Those interested are requested to call on the professor at 933 Vermont street, prior to Wednesday, Feb. 4th.
Mr.Holmes, by virtue of winning second place in the contest, will go first delegate to the state convention at Emporia. A second delegate will be elected today by the students.

The pusillanimous Baker correspondent of the Sunday Capital can never get done throwing mud ..t the University. The supply seems unlimited. The statement appeared in last Sunday's paper that ten orations were handed in by contestants in oratory but of these all but six were thrown out by a faculty committee because they were not worth being presented. This is false as they know. What the faculty committee did was to choose the six best orations to be presented at the contest as ten speakers would make too long a program.

Robert M. Osmond of the class of '83 died suddenly of pneumonia on January 25, at Alamosa, Cal. He was a bright and energetic student and a good friend to everybody. He was always cheerful and was popular in all circles, taking an active part in literary work. In 1888 he married Miss Mary Griffith of '84 who has the sympathy of many friends in her bereavement. Another bright and promising member of our University Association is gone, being the ninth to pass away.
A number of students walked to Topeka last Tuesday to see the farmers elect their senator. This will speak well for the University with the alliance legislature.
