State Oratorical Contest at Emporia February 20th. Rock chalk-Jay-Hawk K! U! !
Why don't the man who says life is not worth living go and shoot himself? We don't need him here. The Science club "It" was held in Snow Hall last Friday evening and proved a most enjoyable occasion.
The florid complexion of some of the return cards has caused some of the students to chew the rhubarb of reflection.
The clergyman's row in English History distinguished itself as much by new theories in examination as it has for conviviality during the term.
The Prince and Pauper given at the opera house last week by local talent was a great success. A number of University people took part.
This evening the ladies of Kappa Alpha Theta will entertain their gentlemen friends with what bids fair to be a very successful party at K. of P. hall.
The Courier acknowledges courtesy extended by the gentlemanly management of the Letter Carrier's Ball; if any one wishes a good time this evening they can obtain it by attending. Music by Buchs orchestra.
Jefferson and Florence begin a week's engagement at Kansas City next Monday. The plays given will be "The Rivals" and "The Heir-at-Law." A number of students will go down.
President Elliot, of Harvard, will be in Lawrence about March 1st. Arrangements will probably be made to have him address the students on some evening during his stay. This will be a rare treat to all.
Paul Hudson was down the first of the week.
Prof. Dyche takes charge of the Zoology class this year.
The Sophomore Logic class looks like it needed pruning.
Thornton Cook appeared this week with the Phi Delta colors annexed.
Irene Webb made a short visit home after examinations.
Prof.Snow's weather report gives the mean temperature of January 32.37 degrees. This is 7.20 warmer than the average January.
The new Latin-English course of the University does not have place in the curriculum until next year.
It is much easier to walk to an entertainment than to ride (in a hack) over such rough frozen roads as we have just now—and the boys are glad of it.
R. D. Brown, Springer, Merrill and Richards walked to Topeka and back last week. It is said that besides wishing to see the senatorial election they wished to urge upon the farmer legislature the need of a gymnasium for K.S.U. Walking trips seem to be gaining in popularity among the University students and deservedly so. There is no better exercise that a student can pursue. It is also hoped that we may have some cross-county runs before the warm weather sets in.
The man with the little hammer and steady lick is the one that got there during examination, as is usually the case, although we know of a man with a sledge who kept his end up in good shape.
Miss Gussie Price has taken the agency for the Ladies Home Journal, and from the number of subscribers she has obtained, we would think that Lawrence is to be supplied with curl paper for a decade.
Moody in the legislature is as much of a factor as Moody in the office. If we had many such friends as Moody in the legislature we would have the greatest educational institution west of the Mississippi river, and the people of the state would not be taxed too much either. We fear that the body of able men who have achieved so much in political revolution and renovation will, when it comes to appropriation, be rather close fisted. Mr. John Sullivan has a very able article in the Kansas City Globe, of last week, which we would advise every one to read, who desires to become acquainted with the University.
Father Ennis led chapel exercise this week.
Mr. Miller, of the engineering department, is back to school again.
Prof. Templin has a very large class in Psychology and Logic this term.
There is quite a number of "red cards" in the clerk's hands since examination we see.
There will probably be several applications for admittance to the oratorical association by smaller colleges this year.
Hon. J.C. Brown, of Holton, Kan., visited the Law recitations Monday morning, Feb. 2nd.
Through the efforts of John Stowell the Law school has been supplied with a bulletin board.
The "barbs" do not scheme! Ono!! But the greatest scheme of the season was concocted by a few of the "barbs" at the oratorical election nevertheless.
Many of the students do not know that the arrangement of the classes and the time of recitation in the catalogue '90-91, which was issued in Decemberdr does not go into effect until next school year. By this students can come in next fall with their course laid out for the year's work from the catalogue.
We are sorry that an extended notice of a party given by the Phi Gamma Delta was unintentionally crowded out last week.
No. 20
The Prince and Pauper was a grand success in many ways. It not only filled the pockets of the U and I club, but gave the admiring public a chance to see that some people are fearfully and wonderfully made. The heavy tragedy of our orator, Mr. Hadley, and the legitimate comedy of Mr. E. Brown are especially worthy of mention.
The uncalled for squib which appeared some time $ \alpha g \circ $ in the University items in the Record stating that the Y.M.C.A.was on the verge of disruption on account of internal dissention is wholly false. It has been evident for some time that the Record correspondent has been using his position to reward his friends and punch his enemies rather than give news.
There is a rule which requires students to be in their classes five minutes after the second bell rings. There is also a faculty rule (of which the most of them seem to be ignorant)which dismisses the classes promptly at the ringing of the second bell and a student may leave whether the professor is through or not at this time. If the professors would obey this rule on their part less trouble would be experienced with tardy students. The first of this term is certainly a good time to reform.
About twenty new students have entered school this term.
A son of Mr. Hallowell, of Wichita, has entered school.
Judge Humphrey will address the Political Seminary this evening on "Discrimination in Railroad Rates."
Miss L. A. Mints, superintendent of a G. A. R. memorial college at Oberlin, Kas., is in the city soliciting for the school.
Prof, Blake will address the Douglas County Farmers Institute at Vinland to-morrow, on the subject of "Practical Electricity."
Several changes have been made in the schedule of recitation during the week to avoid conflicts, and school now runs on in its even tenor as usual.
Mr. Mott, the national secretary of the college Y.M.C.A., talked to a large gathering Sabbath evening in the Presbyterian church. Mr. Helms, the state secretary, was also present.
A subscription is being raised to defray the expenses of a delegate from the Y. M. C. A. of the University to a national convention. About $40,90 has been raised.
Professor Templein made some personal remarks in the beginning class in Logic and Psychology which he may have thought very funny but which to the ordinary student seemed any thing but applicable.
Mr. C. F. Scott has been appointed a regent of the University, succeeding Mr. Simpson. Mr. Scott is a graduate of the University class of '81, and is a stump friend of the University. No better appointment could have been made.
R. D. Brown, McKinnon and Harold Barnes have made arrangements for a special train to Emporia for the state contest, and have arranged a round trip rate of $2.50, if enough students will go. This is a cheap rate, and at least two hundred and fifty students should have enough patriotism to take advantage of it. Let us give our orator a rousing support and our chances for winning will be greatly enhanced. Nothing inspires the average orator to do his best more than the knowledge that he has the enthusiastic backing of the college which he represents. Let all factional spirit be laid aside and let all unite in a hearty Rock Chalk Jay Hawk for K. S. U., and her orator, H. S. Hadley. Beside these considerations, it will pay everybody to attend the state contest and hear other styles of oratory and become acquainted with the students from the other colleges. Let each student take it upon himself to swell the crowd that will move on to Emporia, February 20th
Beta Theta Pl.
Last Friday evening the Beta boys ushered in the new term by giving one of their most enjoyable parties in their pleasant and home-like rooms in the opera house block. The evening was spent in the many ways of amusement which a jolly crowd of students can find and all felt that they had spent an extremely pleasant evening, and one to be long remembered.
The following were the guests, Misses Springer, Grubb, Moore, Morris, Barrett, Neusom, Van Hoesen, Simpson, Manley, May Haskell, Edith Haskell, Blaker, Henshaw, McKinnon, Lyons, Howland; Messrs, Allen, Adams, Shepherd, Malecolra, McKinnon, Brown, Fred McKinnon, Douglas, Withington, Babbitt, Lutz, Fullerton, Melvin, Merrill, Simpson, Peairs, Barnes, Oscar Poehler.
Oratorical Association.
The second annual meeting of the K. S. U. oratorical association was held in the chapel last Friday at 12 o'clock. The meeting was a harmonious one and the "Student's Alliance" fixed things to suit themselves. The following were the officers elected: President, R. D. O'Leary; vice president, W. M. Curry; treasurer, E. W. Palmer; secretary, Hall Riddle; executive, Fred McKinnon, H. C. Riggs and D. R. Krenbiel. Non-fraternity share adjusters, Messrs, Spencer, Brown and Griffin. Second delegate to the state oratorical association meeting to be held at Empcriia, W. W. Brown.
The officers are all good ones and will fill their respective offices with credit to themselves, the association and the University.

A NEW REGENT.
Governor Humphrey has done more than one good turn for the University, but never a better one than when he appointed Chas. F. Scott, Regent. Mr. Scott is pretty well known even among the present set of students, for he moves among them as much as possible, but the Courier recalls for such as have not the pleasure of knowing him these few facts.
Regent Scott is a son of Ex-Regent John W. Scott, and graduated in 1881. After a year or two of "roughing it" in the west, he returned to Iola and bought the "Register," which he has edited since 1883. Though a young man it is no flattery to say that Mr. Scott is regarded as one of the ablest editors in the state—one of the six best. With Mr. Scott's appointment is accomplished the plan, indicated by the Alumni Association and approved by Governor Martin and Governor Humphrey, of making one-half of the Board graduates of the University. They are: W. C. Spangler, C. S. Gleed and C. F. Scott, and it is needless to say that they are the most active and devoted.
Le
The next issue of the Courier will be gotten out under the new management. The present staff takes this opportunity to thank all those who have by their kindly interest and encouragement made the journalistic work more pleasant and less of a thankless task, and would bespeak a continuance of the same for the new staff. It is customary for the retiring staff to give the new staff some salutary and timely advice in reference to the proper management of a college paper. The staff waives the prerogative and leaves the new staff to work out its own salvation as it would be pretty sure to do anyway. The retiring staff has no superfluent knowledge to air, for it is not sure that it knows how to manage a college paper, itself. This fact in itself, makes little difference, perhaps, for the ability it takes to manage a paper is very seldom in proportion to the ability it takes to tell just how a paper should be managed. As to just what the paper will do and be in the future this staff leaves the new one to speak for itself.
The members of the Athletic board who are working up the temporary gymnasium, have asked Chancellor Snow to let the west room in Snow Hall be used for the gymnasium. The request has not yet been granted but it is hoped that satisfactory arrangements will be made. The sentiment in favor of having the gymnasium in the University building instead of in the Armory is growing. The reasons for the change from the original plan, are, that a far greater number could do gymnasium work at the University than at the Armory, for a great many have a vacant hour or some time in the afternoon when they could do the work, wlwithout entailing the loss of
time necessary to go down town and back. On the other hand a large number of students who only have studies in the morning or early in the afternoon, and who live some distance in the city woul find the Armory much more convenient. The Armory would also furnish more room for work. The great objection to the Armory scheme is that the members doing gymnasium work would have no control over the apparatus or of the time when the Armory could be used except by the payment of a rent so large that under the present condition of athletics it would be useless to make the attempt. Unless this were done the Armory would be liable to be rented a week for church fairs, entertainments, political gatherings and the apparatus exposed to those who had no interest in and knew nothing whatever of the use of such apparatus. The rental of the Armory without any contract for the exclusive use of the Armory except by the Usher Guards and B.C. Cadets will be at least twenty dollars a month. When we consider these circumstances and the amount of apparatus that could be bought for the rental money, it would seem best to use a room in the University building if a suitable one can be found. At any rare let all those students who calculate on doing the gymnasium work speak to the committee from the Athletic board and state their preferences, for the wishes of the majority of those intending to do the work will be regarded by the committee. The Athletic board is negotiating for the apparatus of a gymnasium in the central part of the state. The prospects are that a lot of valuable apparatus will be obtained very cheap and the nucleus of a good gymnasium formed.
University Memorabilia Club.
A new University organization is formerly announced. The University Memorabilia club is an organization having for the object of its endeavors the gathering together and arranging in get-at able form of material of all kinds illustrating the history of the University of Kansas. It will seek to stand in that relation to the University which the Kansas State Historical society holds to the state. The collections will be varied and will be considered in the light of an adjunct to the library. Files of the college papers, pamphlets, books, speeches, newspapers and magazines, articles by University students or ex-students, newspapers and other articles referring to the University, all University publications, such as catalogues, reports, bulletins, circulars, programs of University affairs, photographs of professors and students, and any and all things of similar character will be collected. Contributions are earnestly solicited. All material received will be properly cared for, and a record kept of the donation. A card catalogue of the collections will be kept up to date so that all matter in hands of the Club may be readily accessible
for reference: The Club has the cordial endorsement of the University authorities, and it will be given every encouragement by them. The constitution of the Club provides for an annual public meeting at which papers on subjects connected with the growth and development of the University will be read. The founders of the organization are in earnest and will use all diligence in getting the work of the Club well under way. There is no doubt of the need of such an organization in our institution, and it should receive the hearty support of all students and alumni.
The membership of the Club is of three kinds; active, associate and honorary. The number of the active members is limited to thirteen, of which four shall be members of the University faculty. one a student post graduate, two seniors, one junior, one sophomore, one freshman, one from the school of Law, one from the school of Music, one from the school of Pharmacy. The freshman member of one year becomes the sophomore of next year, the sophomore the junior and the junior the senior. Thus in the college of Liberal Arts a senior and a freshman will be elected each year. The members in the other schools shall be in active membership as long as regularly enrolled in their respective schools. It is intended that the election to active membership shall be carefully considered. They will undoubtedly be looked on as among our leading college honors. The present active members, who are charter members, are: Prof. E. H. S. Bailey, Prof. W. H. Carruth, Mr. M. W. Sterling, president, Mr. V. L. Kellogg, secretary, Miss Nannie Pugh, executive committee member, Mr. E. E. Slosson, Mr. Malcolm McKinnon, Mr. Chas. Johnson, Mr. R. D. O'Leary, Miss Kate Riggs, Mrs. Brown, Mr. A. H. Amos, Miss Daisy Orton. The associate members will be elected by the active members on recommendation of the executive committee and shall include all persons manifesting an interest in the Club by contributions or in some other marked manner. All contributions or inquiries should be addressed to the secretary of the Club.
The Phi Gams gave a very pleasant informal hop at their rooms in the Eldridge House Block, last Saturday evening. Those present were Misses Belle Roberts, Delia Southard, Van Hosen, Monroe, Tisdale, Webster, Mame Lyons, Laura Lyons, Bennett, Hadley; Messrs. Challis, Johnson, Smith, Bennett, Shott, Neeley, Joe Wever, John Weven, Lamm, Frank Moore, Lewis and Dick Horton.

Open Meeting of the Seminary
Hon. Judge R. Peck, of Topeka, will give a lecture in the chapel next Tuesday evening on "Puritanism in Old England, and in New." This lecture is one of a series now being delivered before the Seminary
of Historical and Political Science and will be well worth hearing. Those who have never heard Mr. Peck speak can have no idea of the charm of what he says as well as the charm in his manner of speaking. Let every student hear him.
District Attorney R.E.Twitchell.
On Friday Governor Prince sent to the council the name of R. E. Twitchell to be attorney for the district composed of the counties of Santa Fe, Rio Arriba and Taos, and on Saturday last the nomination was unanimously confirmed by the council.
There were two applicants for the position, namely Mr. Twitchell and Mr. Ben. M. Read, both were strongly recommended; but for obvious reasons as already stated in this journal and because the public interests in important and grave matters now pending before the district court, especially the horrible Faustin Ortiz murder cases, in which it was absolutely necessary to have Mr. Twitchell's services as district attorney, the governor's choice fell upon him. That the choice was a very satisfactory one to the people and the representatives of the people is fully and clearly shown by his unanimous and speedy confirmation.
Mr. Twitchell has already made a very enviable record in the position of district attorney during the past two years, and will do still better in the future; for with more experience as a public prosecutor he is bound to do still better. He is a young lawyer of remarkable promise and fine abilities; he has acquitted himself very creditably and successfully in his official capacity heretofore. The New Mexican believes that he will do so in the future and will espically make an excellent record as a prosecuting attorney and a public official.—Santa Fe Daily New Mexican.
In the above we are pleased to chronicle the success of another University student, go where you will, you will find men from the Kansas State University filling positions of honor and responsibility.

The Science Club.—"It."
It was conceded even by the oldest inhabitant of the Science club that the "It" of last Friday exceeded in fun and frolic any revious festivities held. Of course only the barest outline can be given of the proceedings, for it would be useless to those who did not attend, and superfluous for those who did, besides the annual banquet differs from all the other meetings of the club in being as secret as an executive session.
After a sumptous repast some of Uncle Joe's cider was brought on, together with candy and peanuts, followed by chestnuts, according to the program. The program was interspersed with music by the Science club quartette, the club in general, and any members that happened to think of it. Many exercises were introduced also by those not down on the bill, as the spirit moved them.
The banquet was held in the new basement room of the Chemistry building, where the soup and other things necessary were prepared in the adjoining laboratory. The walls of the room were adorned with many appropriate mottoes and notices, such as "Keine Diptera sur us," "Cryptogamous concretion never grows on mineralogical fragments that decline repose," "Try Sayre's Loco Tonic," "Take Dr. Willston's Aunty-phat," "No smoking aloud," "Yes, Indeed! Yes, Indeed," etc.
Prof. Marvin led off with a paper on "An Old Mill," a comprehensive historical survey extending to the millenium. He was followed by Mr. Mayer on the "E. M. F. of a Tin Horn." Mr. Eames then gave a voluntary on the cornet, closing with an involuntary on the same instrument. After this Mr. Slosson succeeded in quieting the audience by a select reading entitled "Schleroma."
An interesting feature of the evening was the reading of letters from ex-members, or rather non-resident members, from Philadelphia to Oregon. The retiring address of the Science club liar, Mr. B.W. Woodward, was next on the program, and if it had not been for his positive refusal he would undoubtedly have been re-elected to the office by acclamation.
Prof. Templin followed with "A New Theory of Hypnotism." This was an original theory, but it was completely demonstrated by experiments. All the phenomena of hypercathesia, catalepsy and clairvoyance were exhibited, and finally, the subject being told that he was a dynamo, a genuine electric shock was sent around the circle, and sparks drawn from his nose.
Mr. Caldwell read some recent criticisms on the "Fogono Hornophone," and Mr. Newson demonstrated the "Calculus of Personal Equotions."
Prof. Sayre then gave "A Poem on the Hill," and Prof. Dyche told a true story of his adventures in the north, well illustrated by some dried Moose meat, which was as
tenacious and hard to swallow as the story.
A new detective camera was exhibited by Case and Kellogg. It is called "The Psycho-physiology-clairvoyantigraph," and not only gives a picture but also analysis of character and prophecy of the future. The machine is simple in construction, perfectly noiseless, and as easily concealed as any other detective camera. Unfortunately the last experiment tried was a complete failure. It could, however, not properly be called the fault of the instrument.
Prof. Blake closed the regular program with an account of his experience when he was guyed through the University. This narrative gained him the office of Club Prevaricator for the ensuing year. After a few miscellaneous exercises, the club adjourned at an early hour.

It is to be hoped that by next year the board of regents will have added an elocution teacher to the faculty. A term under Profesfor Fulton will count for both Freshman and Sophomore Elocution.
Hon. James Humphrey, state labor commissioner, will address the seminary this afternoon at 4 o'clock. His subject will be "Discriminations in Railroad Rates," and is a subject that will be of value to all interested in the transportation and labor problems.

American Pig Iron.
The Mirror Billiard Hall, 607 Main St., Kansas City, is a first class place to spend a leisure hour while in the city.
About as many of Raymond's Bronchial troches for five cents as you get of Brown's for 25c.
The consumption of iron for general purposes, outside of railroad construction, has increased in the ten years between 1879 and 1889 from a million and a half to six million tons. This great increase is largely owing to the increased use of iron for building frames. The large buildings of today are erected with iron frames. The iron makes the structure fireproof, and besides, with such strong bones, the filling in can be thin, and thus both building material and space can be saved. In some instances the whole outside of the house is made of corrugated iron, molded and painted to resemble wood.
Bruns Bros., proprietors of the Mirror Billiard Hall in Kansas City will treat you white while in the city. If you play billiards or pool give them a call.
With such increased consumption the production of pig iron has of course received a great impetus, and it is a fact that never in the history of the country was there so large an output as in 1890. In future Americans may point with pride to the fact that in 1890 the United States for the first time in its history produced more pig iron than Great Britain. Our output for last year was 9,202,028 gross tons of 2,240 pounds each, about 1,200,000 gross tons more than Great Britain produced in the same time. It was also larger by 600,000 tons than the English manufactured in 1882, which was their greatest iron year.
The increase was greatest in Pennsylvania, the old iron state. After that came Illinois, and next Ohio. The output, owing to strikes and financial embarrassments, may not be so great for 1891, but we have beaten Great Britain anyhow, and that is glory enough for the present.
The Woman's Journal, commenting on the report that the governor of a western state had lost first his head and then his mind in consequence of the disputes among rival political parties in the legislature, scores this point against the superior sex: "If a woman had lost her mind under such circumstances, or if any assembly of women had behaved as the legislatures of Nebraska and several other states have been lately doing, it would have been quoted everywhere as proof that women are not fit for legislators."
The awful and inextricable tangle of telegraph and telephone wires left by the storm on the Atlantic coast, and the fact that New York city was without police and fire alarm facilities for several days, will set people to thinking anew whether the overhead system of wires is the best that can be devised.
The saddest feature of the wonderful discovery of Dr. Koch is that the unprincipled quacks have already taken hold of the idea and are beginning to advertise their cure all "dymphs" to a too easily deluded world.
"A barbed wire manufacturer not a member of the pool simply cannot do business," says one of the leading officers of the new barbed wire trust.

School of Music Concert,
From Wednesday's Daily Journal.
The School of Music at its second concert hast evenly fully sustained the high reputation which it gained at its first concert in University hall two weeks ago. The concert formed the opening reception of the school to its patrons and those who have subscribed towards the University pipe organ. The large rooms occupied by the schools were beautifully decorated with rugs, bric-a-brac' pictures and flowers, the new grand piano seeming to rest in the midst of a bed of palms The young lady ushers, the cozy little reception rooms, and the home like and artistic surroundings made a delightful accompaniment for a musical program
The concert opened with a selection by Brahm's, sung by the Ladies Choral Club. The club is well balanced and their excellent singing shows the result of careful drill. The program then introduced us to a list of new players, and a series of revelations, young ladies playing long compositions all from memory, not one soloist using notes—in a brilliant, artistic manner, with no apparent nervousness or effort. The first one was Miss Hattie Robinson in M mezkowski's difficult Valse Brilliante—which with the same composer's Polonaise played by Miss Hinman, is often heard on the cochert program of professionals. Miss Robinson's playing was delightfully clear and artistic, and Miss Hinman's light stacatto effects and delicate phrasing were greatly enjoyed.
Miss Wynn and Miss Lichtenwalter have been heard in former concerts of the school—both show marked improvement, Miss Wynne playing Schubert's beautiful Polonaise with variations with much expression, and Miss Litchenwalter giving the true Rustic dance effect which her selection required. Miss Berry then sang Robyn's beautiful song "Answer" displaying a well managed voice of much sweetness and large possibilities. Prof. Penny made his bow as a composer, playing three original short pieces, an impromptu quite chopin in its style, a dashing Valse Caprice, and an exquisite little Mazurka. These compositions showed that Prof. Penny is quite capable of writing very acceptably in the classical style of modern composers.
Part second introduced us to a former student of Prof. Penny's who united her musical talent with him, and to say that Mrs. Penny is a fine pianist would be a very mild compliment. She mastered the technical difficulties of Mozart's C Minor Concerto so easily and with such a superior touch, that we were charmed by the young bride and her brilliant playing. Miss Moore then sang very effectively a song composed by Prof. Penny
which seemed to be descriptive of "his lady." Then came the event of the evening—the bold dash and spirit, refined touch and expression which Prof. Penny gave us in his faithful rendering of the difficult Schorzo of Chopin's fairly took us by storm. This composition every student knows as one of the most difficult and with the possible exception of his Sonata, which Prof. Penny recently played here, the finest composition in piano-forte literature. It was a great pleasure to hear it so splendidly rendered.
The University choir sang an evening song by Calkin very acceptably. Miss Musa Neally showed in her superior touch and brilliant rendering of the difficult Tarantille that she can become an artist without much effort. Mrs. Penny, Miss Burr, Mr. Hair, and Mr. Penny closed the program with a heavy rendering of Wagner's Festival March.
We went home convinced of the fact that the School of Music possessed many talented pupils, and that the new Dean is making the most of them—that the style, finish and execution displayed compures fully as high as that we have heard in similar concerts in Chicago music schools. This concert fully establishes the reputation of the school as undoubtedly the best in the West, now fully established in its new and beautiful rooms, and drawing students from all parts of the state. We congratulate Professor Penny upon his splendid beginning.

The appearance of Geo. R. Peck's announcements in the hall caused some timid persons to inquire who had the small-pox. White would be a better color to use than yellow.
At the meeting of last Friday the following were elected officers of the Science Club for the second term: President, Rob't Rutledge; secretary, F. C. Schraeder; treasurer, Will Snow.
Adelphic has decided to give a June program consisting of three orations, one essay, one declamation and a discussion in which two speakers only will take part. Music of course, interspersed.
Samuel Feller, a law student of last year and now county attorney of Ingalls county, Kan., was in Lawrence last Sunday visiting friends and acquaintances. Mr. Feller is a young man of promising abilities and the Courier predicts a bright future for him.
Why do we not have an eating room? Students who have to stay on the hill all day take their dinner with them and are compelled to eat it in the basement seated on a steam pipe or grind-stone. A clean room fitted up with a plain table and some chairs is all that is needed; to do this would cost nothing, and it would be fully appreciated by the student body.
Professor Fulton reports flattering success in his attempt to interest students of K. S. U. in elocution. A large class, twent-five or thirty, was organized among the law students and equal support to this much needed department is promised from the collegiate students.

A card index of Chemical Literature including almost all periodicals and monographs on Chemistry has been prepared and is now in the library. These special indexes are of great assistance to those looking for subjects for theses.
The Pharmaceutical society held its meeting Friday night, in the science club room. After the election of officers for the remainder of the year, the society was favored by an interesting talk from Professor Slosson. His remarks were chiefly concerning the city of Paris and observations in general, taken while traveling in foreign countries. Mr. Slosson is undoubtedly one of the most interesting speakers out we have in the University, and the society feels very grateful to him.
Gymnasium.
This effort has been successful beyond expectation. Twenty-five persons may be accommodated in this room at one time, and by proper division of the available hours for practice 100 students may avail themselves of this privilege.
Prof.Sterling went to McPherson in the interest of the Athletic Association last Monday. His trip was highly successful, resulting in the purchase of the gymnasium outfit of McPherson. It was bought at less than fifty cents on the dollar and as the apparatus is almost new the purchase was a great bargain.
This apparatus will be placed in the second room in the top of the north dome, and will be ready for use by the latter part of next week.
Tonight the Science Club will give another of its popular entertainments. Professor Williston will exhibit for the first time his series of slides prepared from photographs of brain dissections by himself for use in his classes at Yale.

GEO. R. PECK'S ADDRESS.
'Puritanism in Old and New England" Reviewed by the Talented Lawyer.
A good house was present at the open session of the Historical and Political Seminary Tuesday evening in University hall. After a few explanatory remarks concerning the seminary and its methods Professor Canfield introduced Hon. Geo. R. Peck, of Topeka, who spoke on "Puritanism in Old and New England."
"There is no romance like history. The real happenings of the past have a deep interest for us. The true function of history is to show how human natue has manifested itself at different times. The renowned historians show a delightful picture, kings, queens, lords and the common people all go to make up the scene. The discussion tonight is of a sect called Puritans. They are now all dead, but they are yet the force that has given the direction of modern thought, religion and philosophy. They were a people rugged in thought, stern in aspect, and relentless in discipline. They spoke their sentiments and believed in them. They believed in God and His servants and they were His servants. They were men zealous in matters of conscience. They could not bear the yoke of authority.
"The origin of the Puritans can be traced back before the time of Wycliffe but the name was not applied to them till 1564, when it was given in derision by the bishops of the church of England. At first they had no intention of deserting the old order of things, but at length they began to feel that they were the true church. The rise of Puritanism in the latter part of the sixteenth century presents one of the most curious anomalies of history. It was the age of Elizabeth and apparently there was little religious feeling. Literature was predominant; it was a time of war intrigues. But amid all these scenes Puritanism quietly gained strength. A Puritan was always a politician. He had to be. Parliament soon became Puritan, but the Puritan still believed in the same divine right of kings. The death of Elizabeth marked an epoch in the history of the sect. James I. took his crown undisputed, but he was a pedant and a hypocrite. He determined to compel the Puritans to conform to the established church, but only drove them from the country."
The speaker then described the removal of congregations to Amsterdam, finally to America, where a government was formed by the peo-
ple. How they suffered and struggled. The terrors caused by the Indians and the final triumph over all.
"Those remaining in England had their work to do. Puritanism continued to grow. Quarrels between parliament and the monarch became more violent till at last blows followed. The parliamentary, army also Puritan, gained decisive victories over the royalist troops and at length England had a Puritan government. They purged England of the Stuart's. They were not bigots, even if they were disagreeable in some ways. The Puritan stamp has been left on art and literature. The Puritan spirit established the English and American constitutions.
Journalisu.
"The Puritan element is still strong among us, but it is not as marked as it once was. The blood of the Puritan is in the veins of this nation. The persistent element in all history is for something better. Puritanism was better than what existed before it, so it was taken up and carried to a great advance."—Daily Record.
The first lecture of the present term on Journalism was given by Prof. J. H. Canfield last Wednesday at 3 p.m. The special topic was the "make up" and the Professor or discussed it from the managing editor's standpoint, referring at length to the advantage to be gained from a proper order and attractive arrangement in the "make up" of a newspaper. He advocated the arranging of all matter under suitable heads and that the heads and subheads should be a true epitome of the matter contained in the columns. An alphabetical arrangement was best suited to the general public and anything that would serve to economize the reader's time should be adopted and followed as closely as possible. He proposed the classification of all matter under the following heads: news, editorial, exchanges, literary, miscellaneous, advertisements.
The Professor paid his respects in his own inimitable manner to "smart Aleckism"in newspaper work and cited several amusing incidents in his own experience. Many an otherwise able article or column of legitimate news was ruined by placing over it a ridiculous head.
The subjects assigned for themes in the advanced English class are of the most profound signification such as "Why Toads have no Tails" and "What I Know about Neckties."

Phi Kappa Psi.
The fifteenth anniversary of the establishment of the Phi Kappa Psi fraternity in K. S. U. was celebrated Monday night. For fifteen years Kansas Alpha has been a strong and prosperous fraternity and each year a party has commemorated the founding. The fifteenth anniversary party was worthy of the occasion, and I. O. O. F. hall never looked more cheerful. Beautiful pictures adorned the walls, the red lamps produced a glaw of lustre, curtains were hung around the walls and rugs were strewn around in happy confusion. At 10 o'clock the guests seated themselves at the long banquet table, and proceeded to do ample justice to the elegant repast prepared by Wiedemann. After supper dancing was begun and continued until a late hour. Those present were:
Mr. and Mrs. Pierson, Misses Gibson of Topeka, Ferrel of Leavenworth, Ocheltree of Olathe, Misses Hadley, Russell, St. Clair, Tisdale, Morris, Price, Lyons, Grubb, Van Hoesen, Webster, Henshaw, Barker, Mason, Buckingham, Towne, Hand, Smith; W.

It is the duty of every student who can afford it, and there are very few who can not, to go to Emporia and whoop her up for our orator as he is a sure winner. The small amount spent on this trip will be very well invested. It will give the student a chance to hear the best of all college orators in Kansas, will show the people that we have an enterprising set of students here, and will encourage our orator to do his best when so many of his friends are present. There is nothing so inspiring to a speaker as to know that he has the sympathy of the audience. To put 150 K. S. U. men in that opera house assisted by our college yell, will be to Mr. Hadley as great an aid to victory as any thing we can do. We will remember the effects of the vast throng we sent to Baldwin with Stebbens. He could not help but win when he had a whole train load of men at his back and every one trying to out-cheer his neighbor. We remember that night well, it was then that we saw for the first time real college enthusiasm, it was then that our little soul swelled in our larger breast and we were proud that we were students of K. S.U., it was then that Sebbens took first place and it was then that we took the town. Let us repeat this victory at Emporia; we can do it, all we have to do is to get in line 150 strong, put Abe Levy at the head and march to that opera house and to victory.
All students are kickers. Now that we have stated this general truth we will proceed to kick and yet have something behind which we can take refuge. Years ago when chapel attendance was made optional there was thought to have been made a great reform, very true, but then the reformation did not go far enough, the library should have been opened. This subject is an old one and has been perhaps fully ex hausted, but then evil like the poor we have always with us. The burden of this thing falls on the student who has a large amount of time to put in the library. He comes up the hill say at 8.15 and then he has three quarters of an hour that he could put in the library and it would be a great help to him but no, when the chapel bell rings he is hustled out into the hall while the professor who made this rule is allowed to remain. Supposing the student who has been shut off from his study does not believe in chapel and sees no good in Christianity, is this sort of treatment going to give him a better opinion of divine service? Not so, he in nine cases out of ten goes out in the corridors and enters into profitless conversation during the twenty minutes in which chapel is held, and then goes to class with the feeling that he has been robbed of valuable time. We believe in Christianity but we do not believe its mission will be fulfilled by forcing it on one in this manner. Let us have the library open all the time and we do
not think that the attendance at chapel will be diminished in the least.
THE suggestion by the Review of last month that the stars and stripes be displayed from the University is good one. Not that we think it would cultivate loyalty in the breasts of mature persons such as attend the University, as the fact that they attend a state institution is proof enough that they possess loyal hearts, but then it would look so grand to have our own Nation's flag surmounting a great building such as we have here. Taking the scenic effect only, who can imagine a pretier scene than this would make; the great orb of day shinning down on the stately, massive, main building which in turn glistens like the chalk cliffs of Dover, the dazzeling effect of this relieved by the beautiful surroundings of grass and leaves and over all this to have floating on the gentle breeze of spring, the most beautiful combination of color and symbolical forms ever linked together by the hand of mortal man, our country's flag. Our personality as a state institution demands that we give the nation due credit. The Capitol belongs to Kansas but still the stars and stripes floats proudly from its mast head. Why cannot K. S. U. be as loyal to and as proud of our country as any legislative assembly? Our flag is seldom seen in the interior except on the glorious Fourth and whenever some noted person dies. We should be able to feast our eyes on this inspiring fabric whenever we look at the summit of Mt. Oread and not have to travel to some insignificant military post to see the first sign of patriotism. Let us have a flag.
Well! how are you? We have met before perhaps, but then this is our formal introduction and we write it because it is expected, and has always been the custom, although it is entirely unnecessary. If the reader will look through the files of any stock company college newspaper, he will observe that a large per cent of the editors are on the subject of the change of staff; the outgoing editor thanking the kind public for being so charitable with him when they have shown no charity at all, and the incoming editor begging the help of the dear reader, (who never helped any one) and expressing himself as being incompetent to fill the responsible position thus thrust upon him; when in his heart he expects to run a far better paper than the old staff and not have so much to say about it either. As for us we have nothing to say in extenuation of the circumstances or as an apology for our being at the business end of this concern. We don't know much about "ideal journalism" but we can run a college newspaper and run it out of sight. The last statement is to be taken literally and not figuratively. We would say to those students who are looking for some great literary production from
our pen that they might as well look for hen teeth and they will have as much success. The Review is what they are looking for and we mention right here that there is no better college production in the United States than our monthly magazine. Our Views column is open, as it always has been, and we solicit contributions from any one who wishes to bring his axe to a proper edge. Our local page will be under Mr. Crawford's control and any help tendered to him will make our paper neerer what its name implies, a newspaper. As to the editorial policy we would thank some one if they would frame one and we will try to follow it. The advancement of K. S. U. will be very near our heart and we will do all in our power to help it along the road to success. Merit will be acknowledged wherever found, either in student or instructor, and incompetency will receive due attention. These are two planks in our platform and we will wait for time to build a structure upon which we may secure standing room before our journalistic course is run.
Views.
The liberty which is given to students entering the University of choosing what courses they shall pursue, has come to be a weakness to the school. Students come here who really do not know what course of study it is best to pursue. They inquire about the different studies, and are told that Greek and Latin are the hardest studies in the curriculum. "Am I compelled to take Greek and Latin?" "Oh! no," says one who likes his case, "here is German and French, take them. Greek and Latin are dead languages anyway."
Now unless the young man's head is very level, or, he is guided by an older person, he is liable to be tempted into the adoption of some easier, more practical course, as he believes. But before he gets through school he finds that he has made a mistake. He thought Greek and Latin were dead, but he takes up the study of History of Philosophy and finds many references to Greek and Latin. These references are many times brief, but they contain important and fine-meaning points. He cannot get them, though, because Latin and Greek are dead languages. He goes over the subject and gets about one half as much out of it as the good classical student who goes over it at the same time.
He reads too of principles of Philosophy set forth by Plato. They are abstruste in English. He wearies of them because they are hard, and he tries to avoid the hard study necessary to give him an insight into them. The classical student is used to such study and plunges into it with alacrity. If the English becomes irksome, he goes to the Greek, knowing what a sense of pleasure it is, to step by step work out the thoughts thus hidden in a difficult foreign language.
Our young man who has taken
I say give Greek and Latin the place they deserve in our curriculum, and require them of every student who is a candidate for a degree in the six collegiate courses. Familiarity with these languages will beget a liking for them, and a liking for them will beget an appreciation for the best English literature, and this will lead to more refined thoughts, and, in the end, we shall have a better cultured body of students. CLASSIC.
up some other course, also comes to read the very best English prose in the course of his study, and finds many references to Greek and Roman mythology. References that are entirely blank to him unless he has read some classics, and is acquainted with these stories.

Kappa Alpha Theta.
Last Friday night the K. P. hall was the scene of a very pleasant party given by Kappa Alpha Theta in honor of their new members Misses VanHoesen, Riggs, Hand and Churchill. The young ladies spared no efforts on their part to make the hall look pleasant and home like; and they may rest assured that their labor was not in vain. Robes and rugs were scattered about in harmonious confusion, and over all was cast the mellow light furnished by numerous piano lamps. The banquet room, where light refreshments were served during the evening, was tastefully decorated with portieres. Music was furnished by the Riverside Mandolin club and dancing was continued until a late hour.
The invited guests were: Mr. and Mrs. Frank Webster, Mrs. A. Monroe, Mrs. J. Mortaugh, Mrs. Lee, Mrs. A. L. Lewis, Misses Farrell of Leavenworth, Branson, of Ottawa, Smith, Southard, Annie Monroe, Bick, of Topeka, Pennebaker, of Kansas City, Courts, of Kansas City, Van Hoesen, Webster, Monroe, Dailey, Russell, Sinclair, Barrett, Blaker, Towne, Simpson, Edith and May Haskell, Riggs, Hand, Howland, Walker and Howell, Messrs.

Christmas Eve in a Vienna Hospital,
Christmas here in Austria would be no Christmas at all without a Christmas tree. In all families from rich to poor a tree is indispensable on this occasion, and in many homes the cost of the tree must exceed that of the decorations and presents together, as the latter in many cases are nothing but Christmas cakes.
Christmas Eve in a Vienna Hospital,
For days before Christmas the markets looked like great flower gardens. Trees of all sizes were on sale, and the decorations were at least very showy. Our festoons of cranberries and pop-corn were not seen here, as alas! they have no cranberries or pop-corn, but instead they used paper roses. The trees were completely covered with these flowers until they looked like immense rose bushes, and the resemblance was all the more striking as all the flowers on an individual tree were of the same color. Now and then a few banners were displayed on the finer trees, and a little tinsel or gilt.
We had an invitation to spend Christmas eve with a private family, but as the various departments of the Kraunebhaus were to each have their trees and celebration, we thought it would be more novel and instructive, if not so pleasant, to spend the evening among the patients in the hospital, and I double if any of us ever witness such a scene again.
This hospital, Allgemeines Krauenhaus, as it is called, is the largest in Vienna, and one of the largest in the world. It has beds for 2,500 patients and is always filled to overflowing. The patients as they are received are assigned to their places in the various departments according to the disease from which they are suffering, and thus every patient is treated by a specialist in his line.
Each department has an amphitheater or lecture room for the students, and here on Christmas eve the patients assembled. Those able to walk, occupied the front rows of seats, while others were brought in on stretcherers or invalid chairs. Many were too sick to leave their beds or take any interest in the festivities and their presents, if they received any, were taken to them in their wards at the close of the exercises.
The presents were procured by subscriptions of the professors, assistants and students, and I noticed that usefulness rather than beauty must have guided the purchasing committee in their selection of articles.
The children received their dolls, books and toys, according to their ages, while other patients received articles of clothing of some substantial nature. Everyone, unless not allowed such articles of food, received a plate filled with cake, fruit and candy, not any too fine, but no doubt a great treat to them.
But the patients were to us cf more interest than the tree, the presents or the music; the latter I must say was none too gay or inspiring, as several of our American party were sitting together and one happened to speak about the music and the others had not even noticed that some one was playing the organ.
We first visited the surgical department, as such patients look more interacting at any rate, as you can usually at the first glance see that something is the matter, and their external appearances are more varied. Here we saw many familiar faces of patients whom we had seen undergo their operations, and were on the road to recovery; others were late arrivals, who within the next few days were to be operated upon.
In the front row of seats sat a number of boys and girls, from two to ten years of age. The first had knee joint disease, on account of which the entire joint had been removed; the second had had a similar operation on the hip joint; the third had spinal disease and was enveloped head and body in a plaster bandage to prevent deformity; and so on until you could find a representative for nearly every joint in the body. The older patients presented another class of troubles. One man had attempted suicide by cutting his throat; another had had his entire tongue removed for cancer, and another the entire jaw for a similar disease.
People with broken arms and broken legs, and people without arms and without legs, swelled the numbers of this novel and interesting assembly.
truly a pitiful sight. He is blind, his fingers and toes have dropped off and he can feel nothing whatever. These patients are not isolated, as formerly, but live in the ward with others, and although this man has been an inmate of the Clinic over seven years and occupied a bed along side of many other patients, no one has taken the disease from him, as it is proven that if proper precautions are taken there is no danger.
The house physician opened the exercises with a few appropriate words; then they all sang; a little girl and little boy declaimed, and the little girl spoke her piece much the better of the two; then more singing; distribution of presents and the patients returned to their wards.
The feature of particular interest at the Skin Clinic was the presence of two lepers; one a girl of twenty, on whom as yet the disease has not progressed very far; the other a Greek of about forty-five, in the last stages of the disease and
Similar exercises were held at the eye, ear, skin, throat, internal medicine and all the other departments, but I will tell you only of the Skin Clinic, as the others would be simply a repetition of what I have already told.
After passing an evening among such scenes we could not help appreciating the saying, "Health is wealth," and it seemed to us as though it must be everything. W. H. NEVISON.
Discrimination in R. R. Rates,
VIENNA, Austria, Jan. 3, 1891.
The Seminary of Historical and Political Science held its regular meeting Friday afternoon with a good attendance.
Seminary of Historical and Politique held its regular meetingriday afternoon with a good attendance. Judge Humphrey read his second paper on "Discrimination in Railway Rates" during which he said: If you stop and listen to the stump orator, he will tell you that the capitalization placed on railway stock is fictitious or "watered" and to his fervid imagination all stock is watered and people pay taxes on this water. The fact is that the present capitalization of American railroads shows a cost below the average cost of the railroads of the world and that they could not be rebuilt for the amount returned. Forty-one per cent of this capital pays no interest and is practically dead while it is not improbable that dead capital will not diminish but increase. It is true that a part of the returned stock is watered but the fact that so much property is dead shows that no very large profits are made in the Unied States. Such is the abundance and grievances of capital seeking investment that watered stock cannot exist. Other roads would enter the same field and compete.
Absolute uniformity in rates is not attainable. It is a human law that there shall be no discrimination between persons in like circumstances but railroads have become the exclusive means of land transportation. They have no rival. They may compete among themselves but there are no other competitors.
It is one of the duties of a government to provide highways for the people and these highways should be for the use of all alike. Railroads not built by the government but private persons have been invested with these rights and their discriminations to different persons are the same as if the government had done the same thing.
The manifest unfairness may be shown in cases of grain. One-half to a cent per bushel is a fair profit and a discrimination in favor of one person to that amount is a gain of 100 per cent and in a short time would drive all competition from the market as illustrated by a large oil company. This causes money to flow from the pockets of the masses to the pockets of a few. Who gave the railroads this power over us?
Suppose of the two competing lines, one is shorter than the other and has better facilities for shipping. The inferior road must meet this difference and the tendency is to discriminate in favor of big shippers against smaller, which, when found out, causes the better road to depart from their tariff schedule. The man who offers one carload for shipment should have the same chance as the man offers ten carloads. In order to prevent discriminations it was provided that a tariff schedule should be posted in a public place and no advance should be made in this except after ten days notice, and three days notice should be given for a fall in rates. Under severe penalties it forbids false billing, false classification of freight and false weighing and make it a misdemeanor to induce any-carrier to discriminate in favor of any person against another.
The financial conditions of railroads would be improved if they lived up to a perfect rule. Why, then, is the law not more effectual? A shipper going to one official is dissatisfied with the charges and tries another who to secure the trade from a competing line, gives a lower rate. Both have acted in contempt of
the law. The shipper prides himself in driving a sound bargain and the official gets the trade. Both are benefited and both have an interest in keeping it quiet. The law at present is in conflict with custom, but it tends to create an increasing preponderance of public opinion against the evil. The railroad business is approaching completeness which will tend to bring transportation into a more settled state.
Mr Geo. R. Peck read a paper in University Hall Tuesday evening on "Puritanism in Old and New England."
Mount Vernon.
To the Editor of the JOURNAL:
Mrs. Grovenor and myself have today visited Mount Vernon, and while every thing there, associated as it is with the life of Washington, is interesting, I was especially interested in the building known as the servants' quarters, from the fact that it has been restored with money given by the schools of Kansas. As I do not remember ever having seen any notice of this work in your paper, I thought an account of it might interest your readers. This building is situated west of the mansion and on the north side of the flower garden. It had become very badly dilapidated, the roof was mostly gone and the walls had commenced to crumble and fall.
In the restoration of Mount Vernon most of the states are represented in the refitting and refurnishing of rooms in the mansion. New York has restored the decorations and the walls and ceiling of the banquet hall, and furnished it with rich old furniture of the style of the revolution. Massachusetts has furnished the library, etc.
When the donation from the schools of Kansas was received all of the rooms had been refitted and furnished and so it was decided to use their money in restoring the 'servants' quarters." This building is of brick about twenty feet wide and seventy-five feet in length, one story high, with an attic lighted by dormer windows. In talking with the superintendent I learned that the walls of the old building were taken down to the foundation and rebuilt of the same brick; all else of the building is new, but is an exact copy of the original as it stood in Washington's life time. The building is divided into four rooms below and the same above, by partitions running across the house, the two center rooms being much the largest. In the center of the house is a large chimney with a large old-fashioned fire-place on each side opening into the center rooms. On the west end of the building embedded in the brick wall, is a marble and slab this inscription, "Restored by the schools of Kansas 1889." The building at present is not occupied, except one of the rooms, which is used as keeping-room by one of the employees of the place. The original building was the quarters of the house servants and those employed about the grounds, but was not the house of the slaves employed on the plantation.
The work done by Kansas does not attract so much attention from visitors as that of those states that have restored and furnished rooms in the mansion, but it is of equal importance in preserving Mt. Vernon, and I am glad that our state has had a part in this good work.
As I left Mt. Vernon, walking down the path from the mansion to the boatlanding, and saw all that has been and is being done to preserve the buildings and grounds for future generations, and as I thought of the tens of thousands of visitors who come every year to this venerated spot, I could but think that Washington is still "First in the hearts of his countrymen."

Lo! the Poor Indian.
Educate the Indian; teach him to work, so he can take care of himself. That is a song we have heard chanted many times over. It is being chanted now more sweetly and numerously than ever. But here is one question which the sweet singers ought to answer: What is to become of the Indian after he is educated?
Can the Indian lawyer go back among the savage Sioux and make a living where there are no courts and no laws? Can the carpenter go back among his own people and build houses where all the inhabitants live in tents? Can the refined, accomplished Indian girl return to her tribe to be the slave of a brave who regards her as a little lower than his dog, to be kicked and cuffed accordingly? White people have no use for the educated Indian as a citizen living among them, mind you. They prefer doctors and mechanics of their own race every time. Answer, sentimental philanthropists, then this question: What shall we do with the Indian after we have educated him? And read meantime what a Brule chief, High Hawk, says:
As my father has gone before me, so has there a people gone before my people. As that people went ahead of mine, so my father went before me, as my sons follow me. So your people follow me. My race can now be counted. Yours is without me. As the remnant of those going before mine stood, so the great chiefs of my father asking, not mercy, but advice, so do I today stand before my great friend and soldier. Gen. Miles, asking for the remnant of my race that consideration the father shows the same that the remnant of your great race will today ask of the great soldiers and great chiefs to be to follow. This is the law. Some call it that. Spite some God; but by any name it is the same. It a force that we can see but cannot understand, and from which there is no appeal.
Co-operative Cookery.
One regrets to observe that the Chicago Co-operative Cooking company has gone to pieces, after an experience of only three months. It ought to have succeeded, and the conclusion is hard to escape that it might have succeeded. At any rate, co-operative cooking will certainly be established some day.
Suppose a wise and liberal minded person should begin in a small way to furnish cooked food to families—just a plain, every day dinner at first. No fancy dishes or very expensive luxuries should be attempted in the beginning.
First there should be a list of persons who will take cooked food regularly, to begin perhaps only dinner in the evening, at rates which should be no greater than the cost of the dinner if cooked at home. The caterer could go his rounds early in the morning and get her menu for the day's dinner from each housewife. The patrons should be secured near together, and promptly at the hour the wagon should deliver the dinner.
smoking hot and cooked in the choicest. daintiest manner known to civilized cooks.
The company that could do this would secure all the custom it desired, as soon as the fact became known that it served really dancy, appetizing food at moderate rates promptly and faithfully. There is not one town or city household in five that would joyfully escape from the tyranny of cooking food at home if it could. But to be successful the company must furnish the food as cheaply as it can be prepared at home. When we are fully civilized all the cooking and laundry work will be done away from the house, and home will be home, not a mere shop where housework is carried on, and in too many cases very badly and stormily carried on at that.
Death in Cabinet Families.
A sorrowful fate, sometimes rising to the tragic, seems to have followed presidential cabinets and their families for many years. This has been true more or less ever since the awful tragedy which ended the lives of President Lincoln and his secretary of state, Mr. Seward. There has scarcely been a time in recent years when some cabinet officer was not heavily stricken in one way or another.
During Cleveland's administration Mr. Bayard lost his wife and daughter. A year ago Secretary Tracy's wife and daughter met their tragic fate in the flames. Secretary Blaine's son and daughter died the same winter. Even the president's own family has not been spared during this administration, since Mrs. Harrison's favorite sister died soon after they took up their residence in the White House. But the awfully sudden going out of life of Secretary Windom immediately after concluding a most eloquent speech at a banquet is the strangest, saddest death of all.

The Glee Club goes to Emporia today to howl for the University. Note;—The term 'howl' is used for effect, and has no reference to the quality of the singing.
Senator Howard's bill for a chinch-bug experiment station has passed the senate, the house will certainly pass it and Professor Snow will thereby be enabled to continue his experiments which have accomplished so much for the farmers of Kansas.
We see by the city papers that Mr. E. F. Engel has applied for a position as teacher in the city High School for next year.

A K. S. U. Man.
The Peruvian Mail of Jan. 10 1891, has a lengthy account of the opening to the public of the Verrugas Bridge. The bridge is to take the place of one destroyed by a water spout in 1879. It is built on the Cantilever plan, similar to the Forth bridge in Scotland and the one over the Hudson at Poughkeepsi. The center span is 235 feet in the clear and the Lima and Oroya spans are each 140 feet in length. The distance from the water to the rail is 257 feet. The grade of the road-way is 4 degrees. The official trial of the bridge was made on the 8th and it was pronounced a success. From the train the guests passed on to the bridge, which was decorated with Peruvian flags and portraits of the President, and congregated at the Lima entrance where Mr. Edwark Eyre in representation of the railway company and in the name of the Peruvian corporation presented the bridge to the President and the Peruvian people, speaking in Spanish as follows:
"Mr. President and Ministers,
"GENTLEMAN:—The new Verrugas Viaduct is now finished and it is in order to place it formally at the service of the public that we have invited His Excellency, the President of the Republic, the Ministers of the Government and the other distinguished gentlemen present to honor by their co-operation the ceremony of inauguration. The honor of constructing this vast fabric is due to the distinguished American engineer, Mr. S. A Rifle, who is with us today and his worthy and faithful assistance, Mr. H. H. Dougherty. In speaking of Mr. Rifle no eloquence would be adequate to sound his praise. He has been the soul of the work and the result is emblematic of his ability and constancy. A faithful director and an indefatigable workman, we have seen him here in discharge of his labors, now with the theodolite, now with the hammer in his hands, always at his duty and never shrinking from danger, braving calmly this pectiferous valley. In him we have a noble example of the master mind coupled with the skilled hand; a refutation of Cicero's famous declaration that all labor is debasing."
The address goes on and is a very interesting description of the bridge and the dangers encountered in its construction. Seven men died of the fever and Mr. Riffle was stricken down at the completion of his work and was compelled to leave the country. The workmen under Mr. Riffle, in a memorial, presented to him, to attest their highest regard and esteem for him and liberal

praise of his ability and unremitting earnestness, a gold metal, oval in shape, about two inches long with, an engraving of the bridge on one side, surrounded by diamonds and a Spanish inscription on the reverse bearing the date January 1st, 1891, and the names of the engineers.
Mr. S. A. Riffle graduated from K. S. U. in 1884 and took the degree of B. S. He was married to Miss Belle Love of this city about two years ago and soon after this happy event he departed to the scene of action and what turned out to be a field of conquest and glory. K. S. U. is to be congratulated on having a graduate who, by his perseverance and ability brings honor to himself and reflects credit on his alma mater.
ATHLETIC.
Catcher Kelsey is out of school temporarily, on account of his eyes. We expect him back this week.
We have received a challenge to play foot ball, from the Missouri State University. Wonder they didn't wait until the 4th of July. Mont Hallowell, the new Phi Psi, will be an addition to the Athletic interest—both in tennis and base ball.
Base ball enthusiastics are anxious to begin practice. A number were out last Saturday, but found the ball rather "cold."
The diamond on Massachusetts street is far from good condition. We hope the Athletic association will early realize the necessity of providing better grounds than we had last year.
Spier, the new man from Kenyon College, will be a needed addition to foot ball interests. Besides playing a "warm" full-back, Mr. Spier has been under the instruction of a Yale Varsity-team captain, and is up to snuff on all the tricks of the trade.

The new State Oratorical Association is to hold its first annual contest in Atchison May 29. This association is composed of minor colleges of the state and their first contest bids fair to be succesful.
Why does not the work done on a college paper count for something in favor of the student doing it? The work may not be of a high literary order, but the experience gained is worth as much as a dozen themes and in our opinion should count as such.
THE Washburn Reporter of last week comes out with a long article on the State Contest. It advocates holding the contest at Topeka every year and cites many reasons for doing so. It is but natural that a college would like to take everything in sight when it is situated in a town known as Hog-town. Topeka would be the best place to permanently locate the contest if it was advisable to do so, but it does not strike us that way. A good part of the pleasure of attending the contest is to visit other colleges and towns, and then when we win to take the town. Topeka is rather a large place to be taken, but then
we made a very good bluff in that direction last spring, when we went up to see Naylor. We are not going to have very much trouble in taking Emporia, as it is about the right size. We are sorry, dear Reporter, that your faculty has decreed that you cannot attend State Contests when they are away from home; but then you will be old enough some day to be your own master outside of the school room, and the faculty will treat you as you should be, like a man, and responsible only to your self for your actions. If the convention ever becomes so blinded to the interests of the other colleges of the state, as to permanently locate the place for holding the State Contest we think Topeka would be the best place by all means.
CRYING out against the wicked world, trying to write a book and become literary, reading Munkittericks jokes in Harper's and forcing a laugh, evincing a very strong desire to go on the stage, and then again, thinking a convent is her home, having alternate attacks of love and religion, and resolving to keep Lent, are symptoms, which, if noticed in a young lady of our grandmother's time, would have called for a liberal supply of sulphur and molasses three times per day. But, now she is encouraged in her "calling," and nine chances out of ten if her hair is red it will turn black and loose its curl; she will exchange her heart for a blood pump and start out to reform the world.
SOME sore-head in the Manhattan Nationalist has seen fit to stigmatize Professor Snow's chinch-bug exterminator as a fraud. All who know Professor Snow will resent this unwarranted attack upon a man whose honesty, integrity, and honor are above a suspicion of doubt. His modesty is one of his excellent qualities and those who have taken the pains to read what he has said and written on this subject know full well that he has made no extravagant statements or claims. His mode of procedure has been, as it is with all true scientists, to state the exact facts and describe the results in detail. The proof of this theory has been left to the uninterested farmers of the state and the result is as follows; nineteen were favorable; four doubtful and three unfavorable. With this splendid showing what more is wanted to demonstrate the utility of the discovery? It would look far better for the Nationalists to put aside its petty jealousies and thank God that the State University has a man with brains enough to discover something of practical benefit to the farmers of Kansas even if the Agricultural college has not. All honor to Professor Snow! So say we all of us.
AFTER a long controversy Dartmouth has decided to admit women as special students only. It is only comparatively recently that women
have been admitted to the larger institutions in America. It would seem that for once in the history of American education a step backward has been taken. The courses of study required by men are not suited either to the needs or tastes of women. A modification of the courses means a loss to men, while women will still be unsuited. From an ethical standpoint women have everything to lose and nothing to gain. Away with co-education in universities and provide schools of equal rank especially for women. Vidette Reporter.
Such statements as the above, if you will allow the expression, make us tired. To think that a sane person in this enlightened age would endorse a system of convents and monasteries to be introduced into our schools is preposterous. We are not acquainted with the "ethics" of this subject but we do know that you cannot make a gentleman out of a boy by confining his associates to the male sex. The pressue of ladies in a class room is an education in itself. A man who has the mental side of his nature developed and the social side neglected is in a bad way. He should have attended K. S. U. where social culture goes hand in hand with mental improvement.
THE STATE CONTEST.
Next Friday evening will witness one of the great events of the college year. The State Contest in oratory will be held on that evening, in the Whitley Opera House. Six colleges and the State Normal school will be represented by orators chosen—on the principle of the 'survival of the fittest'—in their home contests, and if we take literally all that is said of these men by their respective college journals, it will be a battle of silver-tongued giants.
The orations have been submitted already, in print, to the three judges of thought and composition, who will deliver their markings to the secretary of the State Association, and by him they will be kept sealed until the time comes to compare these with the marks of the three judges of delivery. The award will then be made in accordance with rules provided in the constitution. The judges for this occasion are: On thought and composition, Rev. W. A. McGinley, of Emporia; Rev. E. P. Chittenden, of Salina, and Judge Caldwell, of Topeka; on delivery, Hon. J. R. Hallowell, of Wichita, Prof. J. H. Banta, of Hiawatha, and Supt. S. B. Todd, of Sterling.
The State University will be represented by H. S. Hadley, '91, who will speak on a theme which seems to have attracted a good deal of attention from college orators in the past few years—'Oliver Cromwell and Puritanism,' Mr. Hadley's appearance and delivery are described as very pleasing, and his oration as a strong one.
Washburn's representative will be A. W. Myers, who will elaborate 'The American Idea.' From what
we can gather Mr. Myers seems a strong man whose debut in state oratorical circles will not be inglorious to Washburn.
The Baker Beacon puts forth the following modest claim for its favorite orator: "Our orator, John I. Games, easily took the contest, and from his high rank here, we have no hesitancy in predicting his representing the state at DesMoines. With all due respect to the other orators of the state we must say that Baker will have an easy walk-over this year. We have no fear. * * Des Moines is our goal."
The Ottawa local contest is said to have been the best they have ever had. The winner was J. T. Crawford, '91, whose delivery is described as having been "earnest and dignified," but nervous and excited.
W. O. Gantz is the Normal champion. He is youthful in appearance, but impresses one as a man of character. He has a vigorous oration on "The Problem of the Elections," and a delivery, which, while not exactly polished, is earnest and effective.
Kansas Wesleyan University, the infant member of the State Association, sends Edward R. Harris, '92, who will speak on 'Reserve Power.' Some surprise and some feeling attended the result of the local contest, but Mr. Harris will do his best to maintain the creditable record made by his predecessor of 1890.
College Life may have mentioned in some previous issue the fact that one of its editors will voice the oratorical genius of Emporia. V. L. Parrington is the man. His oration is a strong one, and his delivery both pleasant and powerful. Both have been described already in these pages, so that we need only add that we are confident he will win for us the high position which our retiring disposition has forbidden our taking before.
The visiting colleges are the guests this year of the local association of the Normal School, whose officers are making every effort to have all pass off in the happiest manner possible.—College Life.

The Seventh Biennial report of the State Historical Society shows the additions to the library of the society during the two years ending November 18, 1890. They number—bound volumes, 2,260; unbound volumes and pamphlets, 5,208; volumes of newspapers and periodicals, 2,153; single newspapers and newspaper cuttings containing special historical matter, 5,950; maps, atlases and charts, 99; manuscripts, 951; pictures and other works of art, 514; scrip, currency and coin, 43; war relics, 19; miscellaneous contributions, 525. From this statement it will be seen that the library additions proper, of books, pamphlets and periodicals during the two years number 9,621 volumes. Of these, 9,237 have been procured by gift and exchanges, and 384 by purchase. The total of the library at the present time is as follows, namely: 12,231 bound volumes, 35,561 unbound volumes and pamphlets, and 10,134 bound newspaper files and volumes of periodicals; in all, 57,926 volumes.
The library accessions have somewhat exceeded in number the average of former periods. The purchases of books have been chiefly confined to works more or less directly pertaining to Kansas. Gifts and exchanges have been largely the publications of the educational, scientific, social, charitable and economic departments of other states of the U. S. Government, and of the publications of the voluntary societies and institutions of this country and of foreign countries.
The report speaks of the newspaper collections of the society as being the most valuable part of its library of materials of Kansas history. Of the 10,134 bound newspaper files in the library, 7,472 are of Kanaas. The number of Kansas newspapers and periodicals now being published is 793. Of these, 33 are dailies, 1 is semi-weekly, 718 are weeklies, 36 are monthlies, 2 are semi-monthlies, 1 is bi-monthly and 2 are quarterlies. They come from all of the 106 counties of Kansas, and record the history of the people of all the communities and neighborhoods.
The Gymnasium.
The present attempt to fit out a small gymnasium is a very commendable one. It will prove one of the surest means of securing a permanent, well equipped gymnasium for the whole University. The association now has a comparatively small variety of gymnastic apparatus, but it will all prove sufficient for those who are farsighted enough to avail themselves of the opportunity to use it. Many good students think that only sports and athletes should spare the time from studies to devote to gymnastic training. No opinion could be more erroneous. As a matter of fact the athletes need bodily exercise least of all men. It is the hollow-chested, sunken-eyed devotee of learning who must be willing to give up a
little time each day to the care of his body if he hopes to have a long and useful intellectual life. Experienced educators everywhere admit the truthfulness of this statement.
The apparatus already secured will be put in position in the north dome of the main building in a few days. A glance at a partial list of machines will convince anyone that with proper, systematic usage an infinite amount of good may be secured to our students. Enough chest-weights have been secured to give one hundred students a day all the chest development they will need. Indian clubs in sufficient numbers have been provided, to supply all the rest who will require them. Chest-bars, an ankle-machine, a back and loin developer, an inclined ladder, a first class pair of parallel bars, a horizontal bar, dumb-bells, boxing gloves, etc., will be sufficient to engage as many as the small room will accommodate.
It is very much to be regretted that the room cannot be thrown open to all students to use at liberty, free of charge. Owing to unavoidable expense in securing and caring for the apparatus it will be necessary to charge a small fee. It would be worse than wastefulness to place the apparatus at the disposal of everybody, while it is impossible to oversee it and direct students in its use.
Such a gymnasium was opened in the present carpenter's shop, in the basement, ten years ago. Fairly good apparatus was supplied, but no oversight or limitation respecting its use was made: The result was reached in less than one month, in the form of skinned shins, sprained joints, ruined apparatus and general disgust. Two fractured Indian clubs, of unequal weight, and some wholesome experience are all that remain of that ill-directed attempt to serve the bodily interests of the students. The mistakes of ten years ago must be guarded against now If not, the cause of physical training will not be advanced but retarded. However, it is obvious that it is possible to avoid the former mistakes, and the management a present may be relied upon to do it
There was a good attendance at the meeting of the Philological club last Friday evening and an interesting and profitable program was carried out. Mr. E.F. Engle read a paper on the use of the German pronoun in Schiller's "Tell" after which Professor Carruth pointed out some inconsistencies in the use of the personal pronoun in both the German and English languages.
Philological Club.
Professor Wileox gave a very interesting and instructive talk on the life and work of the late Dr. Schlieman. The Professor's personal acquaintance with Dr. Schlieman, having met him at Athens, had the effect of bringing the audience much nearer his subject. He spoke of the great work done by Dr. Schlieman in the investigation of the old civilizations and in the

fields of Philology and Archieology.
Professor Hopkins read a paper on the obituary poet. He laid into ruins the castles which the ambitious poet who had reared for himself and for his comfort offered nothing but contempt.
A part of the program hereafter is to consist of reports of such contents as may be of interest in the leading Philological journals.
The next meeting will be held to night.
Prof. Blackmar's Lecture.
On Saturday evening Prof. Blackmar addressed the High School scholars and some of their older friends at the High School building on the "Silver Question."
The speaker very clearly explained the "cheap money theory," and showed that the debtor and laboring classes are the classes most injured by it.
The lecture was a striking illustration of the power of spoken words when replete with mind. There were no oratorical effects, no flashes of wit, no flights of imagination, no ridicule of impractical theorists, who buzz like flies about the financial question, but a closely welded statement and argument. Yet all, from the youngest school boy to the oldest man present listened with perfect attention and thanked the speaker for his work.—Newton Republican.

Science Club Lecture.
When the audience assembled last Friday night to hear Prof. Willis ton's lecture it was discovered that the lantern was in Salina. Some of the audience who were not used to the emergency methods of the Science Club left the room supposing there would be no exhibition. The greater part however, stayed knowing that the Science club never failed to hold a meeting even if the program did give out on the last minute, and they were not disappointed. Prof. Dyche entertained them with some of his inevitable hunting yarns, while Mr. Mayer with the assistance of a number of Science club boys got up a calcium light stereopican from fragments in a half a dozen different departments. The gas pipe was connected for hydrogen and a bag of Freshman oxygen happened to be on hand in the Chemistry building. About half past eight everything was in shape and the audience was invited into the lecture room.
Prof. Williston's lecture was a clear and accurate presentation of the difficult and obscure subject of the localization of cerebral function as understood by one who has himself done much toward the development of this most interesting but most complex part of human anatomy. The slides are largely from photographs of Prof. Williston's dissections and are far superior to book illustrations. The discoveries of the working of this machine of the mind, the brain, will modify not only our philosophy and psychology, but also our ordinary conceptions and conduct of life, when they become popularly known and understood.
Phi Beta Kappa.
The members of Phi Beta Kappa held their annual meeting Tuesday evening. The principal business before the meeting was the election of members from our graduating class.
As is the custom with this fraternity that four of the graduates having the best standing during their entire course were declared members. They were Misses Scott and Pugh, Messrs. Bowersock and Barber.
Prof. Snow informs us that a fifth member will be chosen before the close of the year.

The Trip to Europe.
How many of our readers are aware that the trip to Europe can be made almost as cheaply as one can take a summer tour of a few weeks in the summer vacation at home? There is at least one line of steamers that take passengers from New York to Glasgow, first class, for $40, or $75 the round trip; the accommodations are quite good, too. Glasgow is the gate of entrance. Thence to the noble, healthful, picturesque old city of Edinburgh the railway fare, second class, if one travels for cheapness, is only about seventy-five cents. In Edinburgh good plain living can be got for from$5 to $6 a week. The tourist might well spend a week or two here among the famous historic localities. If you have shopping, the cheapest and best bargains can be had in Edinburgh.
There are clean and comfortable private lodgings in London where one may live for not more than $10 a week. Meanwhile he can do no end of sightseeing. Railway fares and cabs about the city are thoroughly reasonable.
The traveler may spend two weeks in London. Then he can go to Paris, not by the most fashionable route from Dover to Calais, but by that which crosses the channel and enters France at Dieppe. It is no great hardship to do the railway part of this journey second class. The chief hardship would be in the mind of Americans whose pride would be hurt, but this is nothing in comparison to the privilege of making a journey to Europe which would otherwise be impossible. In mere railway travel the main object is to get over the ground, and the tourist is carried just as
rast in the second class car as in the first
class one.
In Paris the living is more expensive than in London; still the tourist who looked carefully about him and made inquiries beforehand, finding out just where he was going and how much it would cost, could manage to spend a week in Paris for less than it would cost him to be comfortable in New York. When the American has seen Edinburgh, London and Paris, he has seen much of the best part of Europe, and has delightful memories enough to carry with him for a lifetime. Three hundred dollars would probably pay for the whole journey here laid out. The American from the interior would have the malaria soaked out of him by the ocean trip, and his ideas broadened and brightened for all the rest of his life. Try it.
Alaska.
When in 1867 the United States bought Alaska, or Russian America, as it was then called, from the czar, paying $7,200,000 for it, few citizens of this country had any idea of the value of the purchase. Few have as yet, for the matter of that, though some light promises to illuminate the general mind, after this year, on the subject of our far away northwestern possession. Congress has appropriated $100,000 for the more complete exoration of our unknown land.
It may be that William H. Edward's prophetic vision saw with clearer eye than any of his fellow countrymen the greatness that was to be in what the papers of the time facetedly called a purchase of icebergs and an attempt to bull the ice market. It may be that the greatest of all Seward's many services to his country was the purchase of this very Alaska. Already the seal fisheries alone pay into the United States treasury annually enough to meet the interest on the purchase money.
Yet there may be other resources so rich and abundant in Alaska that the seal fisheries money will be small in comparison. Nobody knows for certain, to be sure, but there is reason to suppose that the interior of the country contains mines of wonderful richness. It is certain that the salmon and other fisheries are worth as much as the seal fisheries already are. Perhaps are many years salmon canning establishments will be as common on the banks of Alaskan rivers as they are now on our northwestern coast. At any time we may look for important additions to our national resources when the coming survey is finished.
It is entertaining, not to say instructive, to read the comments from northwestern papers after there has been a severe storm of wind and snow on the Atlantic coast, tearing down telegraph wires and blocking trains. These papers commiserate poor old New York and Boston sincerely for having such frightfully inclement weather, when in Dakota, Minnesota, Nebraska, Colorado and Montana the weather is balmy and sweet, with "an almost utter absence of severe weather," and violets blooming outdoors—almost.

THE STATE CONTEST.
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS.
First Place is Awarded to J. G Gaines of Baker and Second to V. L. Parrington of Emporia College.
The Eighth State Oratorical Contest has come and gone. Pandemonian is the only word to express the mild howls of enthusiasm that pervaded the chilly air of Emporia last Friday.
Every train brought new delegations, until the hotels were utterly unable to feed the crowd hungry for supper.
The opera house filled rapidly and quietly until 8 o'clock, when a single horn started a hundred more. The women held their ears, and the students yelled the louder, until the din of clashing yells made the timbers of the old Whitley fairly shake.
LAWRENCE, KANSAS, FEB 27, 1891.
At 8:30 President S. R.Edwards, of Emporia college called the audience to order and Introduced Messrs. Vernon and Eberhardt of Wesleyan University, who rendered a well received piano duet. Rev. Samuel Targent, of Emporia, offered a short but impressive invocation. Prof. Thompson of the State Normal sang a solo entitled, "Anchored," which was loudly applauded. Mr. William O. Ganty of the State Normal was introduced as the first orator of the evening. He took for his subject "The Problems of the Elections." He reviewed in an effec- and vigorous manner the policy, inaugurated by our government, of throwing open our doors to all nations. The increase in population was very rapid. Eighty-three per cent of New York and ninety-one per cent of Chicago are foreigners, and these coming from the most ignorant of Europe. These de-based men are the victims of the political demagogues. The political machine has become a stupendous affair, and the method of defeating the public will be a science. The southern difficulty is a formidable one. Its solution lies in the education of the negro. Exalt the school and teach the bible, without which no nation has ever flourished. Mr. Ganty was earnest in his delivery, and held the attention of the assembly, but his gestures were too few and studied.
Mr. A. W. Meyers, of Washburn, came next with an oration on "The American Idea." He was young
Mr. E. R. Harris, of Wesleyan University, the next on the program, failed to respond to the oration announced, on "Reserve Power." It is said that he took this method of allaying the dissatisfaction which had arisen in Salina over the decisions of the judges in his favor. Prof. Hair, of Baker, rendered a difficult piano solo in a very creditable manner.
in his appearance, but perfectly at home in his delivery. His voice was rather weak for so large an assembly. He reviewed the ancient republics of barbarism and superstitution. The revolution came with the Anglo-Saxon race in America. According to the American idea every man is a law unto hionself — self-sovereignty is the ideal. This idea has lead the nation to prosperity. The influence of the American idea will never cease until the morning the morning star of republican liberty, has seen its special brightness fade in the ample effulgence of a freedom universal.
H. S. Hadley, the youngest orator of the evening, came next. He well represented the University of blue and gold in a well conceived oration on "Oliver Cromwell and Puritanism." Mr. Hadley made by far the best appearance of the evening. His voice was strong, although a trifle overtrained. A delegation was never more confident of first place and never more disappointed in not getting it, than was K. S. U. when the final decision was announced. Mr. Hadley traced the rise of Puritanism and brilliantly described its connection with the life of Cromwell from beginning to end. Two Cromwell's were eulogized; Cromwell the Puritan general, the statesman, and Cromwell the man, the Christian, the father, the history of England and the history of Cromwell are all one. He held within his hand the destinies of the English people with him passed away his government.
A touching solo by Mrs. Clara D. Thompson, of the State Normal, was loudly applauded.
Vernon L. Parrington, of the College of Emporia, was next introduced with an oration on "God in History." His voice was the best controlled of the evening, and held the attention of the entire audience. The head gesture was a
J. S. Crawford, of Ottawa University, then took the floor with an oration on "America and the Future." His reasoning was sincere and effective, but his delivery was nervous and at times a little excited. He eulogized the Anglo-Saxon race, and said that it had made remarkable growth in America. The progress of America under its sway has never been paralleled. America leads all nations. It is to be the scene of the climacteric effort of man. The day is fast approaching when this the strongest of earth's races, shall recognize a grander destiny, and shall penetrate the darkest lands, transforming government, lifting humanity, leading every nation in the triumphant march of progress.
little overdone. He propounded the question: What rules the affairs of men? Is there a God? Yes, there is a God in history and a God in nature. To affect great results by unexpected means—this is God's method in history. Natural law, accomplishing a silent work through imperceptible means, and guided by the divine purpose, this is the cease less force which is leading man upward to his destiny.
The last, and in the opinion of the judges, the best speaker of the evening, Mr. J. I. Games, of Baker University, closed the program of oratory with a well written oration on "The Civilization of the Anglo-Saxon." Mr. Games was the oldest orator of the evening, and his delivery gave unmistakable evidence of his long practice in appearing before audiences. His voice was good and his gestures well controlled. The childhood of the Anglo-Saxon was cradled in war. He was always self governed. There is not a rock on the Mount of Genius that has not been pressed by the feet of the Anglo-Saxon. Reform marks every step. With moters unconquerable, influences eternal, and a mission divine, the future of the world is to be shaped by this people.
We give the markings of the judges in another place.
The Mendelssohn Quartette, of the College of Emporia, favored the audience with a song, and were recalled twice.
The Normal yell "wasn't in it."
The newspaper men are indebted
The University Glee club, wearing the blue and gold, appeared with a song that greatly delighted the audience. They were encored three times and the appearance of the president only relieved them of the fourth song. The Glee club is without doubt, a credit to our institution, and the boys should be encouraged in their work.
NOTES.
The announcement of third place being given to Mr. Meyers, of Washburn, elicited but little applause, but the red and white of the College of Emporia could hardly be kept down when they were given second; Mr. Parrington was their orator. First place was given to Mr. Games, of Baker, and the Bakerites immediately took possession of the stage, and raising their orator to their shoulders, yelled one long continuous yell, until sheer lack of energy quelled their enthusiasm. Mr. Games will well represent Kansas in the Inter-State Contest at Des Moines, Iowa, on May 9th, 1891, but it is only in justice to the other orators to say that the decision of the judges was not in accordance with the wishes of the audience.

Sullivan-McClure.
We went to press last week too early to get an extended account of the wedding of Mr. John Sullivan and Marguerite McClure of this city. They were united in the holy bonds by Rev. Marvin at the home of the bride on Feb. 19, 1891. Mr. Sullivan is a fair sample of the self made man. He came to the University a poor boy and not only worked his way through the institution but made money in the process. He graduated in the Law class of '87, and moved to Kansas City where he entered upon the practice of his chosen professioen and newspaper work. Mr. Sullivan received the training in the paper business, which has made his life so far successful, on the University COURIER. He is now owner of several small papers in Kansas City and regular correspondent for several of the dailies. It is with pleasure that we notice in all his writings the love he bears for his Alma Mater. Through his influence the press of Kansas City has supported the University in a manner that is to be recommended to the milk and water papers of Kansas.
Miss McClure is known as a lady of womanly attainments. She has heretofore been instructor in music at Haskell Institute but resigned the position to share in the honor and glory that her promising husband is bound to achieve.

The Courier with their many friends, wishes them all the happiness possible and feel confident that if their future life is as successful as their past that our wish will not be in vain.

Seminary.
Rev. Dr. Howland addressed the Seminary last Thursday on the "Possibility and Advisability of Further Legislation Regarding Marriage." The reverend gentleman has very decided views on this subject.
He says that marriage is an institution of society, and as such may be justly controlled by government. To the abuse of this privilege Dr. Howland attributes a vast amount of the misery and crime of this world. For a remedy he advises that the government examine applicants for marriage, and make a marriage licence depend on the capacity to support a family, and on the character of the parties applying.
The Ariel Quartette.
The sixth entertainment of the Y. M. C. A. lecture course and was given Friday night by the Ariel quartette of Boston assisted by John Thomas, the humorist.
The singers were greeted by a full house, in spite of the Oratorical contest and the beastly weather. Those present were rewarded by an entertainment of the first order.
The Y. M, C, A. lecture course has thus far proved worthy of the generous patronage of Lawrence people. The next entertainment will be a lecture by Dr. Vasser of Kansas City. His subject is the "Alps." Dr. Vasser will be here on the fifth of March.

The guess that College Life made was just about right.
THE Oratorical Contest is a lot tery and we drew a blank.
Some of the boys "went broke" at Emporia. Whoa Hannah!
THE University Glee Club is an honor to the institution it represents. ___
It is reported that the C of E has a stronger ball team this year than ever. ___
THE Geo. Washington racket of
Washburn is unique to say the
least. ___
THE Washburn Argo is at hand and presents a very favorable appearance.
PREACHERS are good men but they seem to think clerical oratory is the only kind.
MORTAR boards are worn by the students of C of E. We do not like the looks of them.
WE congratulate Mr. Games on his good luck and Mr. Parrington on his good oratory.
We are not going to cry much over spilt milk. If we had kept it, it might have turned sour.
EVERY oration delivered at Emporia in the late contest touched upon history or government.
We notice a marked improvement in the yellos of other colleges. None of them equal ours however.
THE gestures used by some of the contestants would have made Demosthenes take another schooner of poison.
Did you notice the unamity with which the Bakerites applauded one of Game's climaxes? Very well trained.
THE reception given to the visiting students after the contest was a very enjoyable affair. We set the pattern last year.
The Review with characteristic enterprise printed the orations of the contestants at Emporia. The large number printed was enterily disposed of.
The Harvard Advocate does not look like a college publication, it has more the appearance of a literary journal. It's stories are well selected and make very interesting reading. ___
We are pleased to see the press of the state come to the rescue of Prof. Snow and his chinch bug remedy. The attack made on him by one who has always been considered as a friend, is receiving the setting down upon it deserves.
If you want to know the disposition of a man, just take him to an prateral contest and have him set up all night in a car. An ordeal of this kind will develop traits of character that you never suspected any one to possess.
THE Delta of Sigma Nu, and Quarterly of Phi Gamma Delta, are at hand and are very creditable issues. The engravings are especially worthy of mention.
LIFE is sure a failure if it does not last long enough.
THERE was some talk of forming a Tri-angular League between Baker, Washburn and K. S. U. for the promotion of inter-collegiate base ball, foot ball and tennis. Delegates were sent to Emporia by Washburn and K. S. U., but Baker failed to send a man, so the project temporarily fell through. Ottawa wants admittance so as to make it a Quadrangle. This we think would be a very wise move. Something of the sort has been needed for years.
THIRTY-EIGHT per cent. of the students of the Kansas State University come from the farm. What bright prospects for Alfalfa politicians does Kansas afford, and how fortunate for John J. Ingalls that he has no desire to return to the senate,—Missouri Pan Hellenic. Yes sir, we are farmers, but the rye-soaked blood of Missourian ancestors does not flow in our veins. It would be better if you would shed your Vest and get to work. We did.
Now that spring is drawing cn we may expect a revival of intercollegiate base ball. A ball team should represent the college from which it comes and not its money. In all the base ball games which K. S. U. has played with other colleges, there have been men on the opposing side who had no connection with that college whatever. If a school cannot raise nine men who can play ball, they should not try to play with any other college. A hired team can not possibly bring glory to the school that hires them.
WE have noticed of late that whenever Baker or Washburn sends a delegation any place they are always supplied with tin horns. The horn is not a legitimate instrument in the hands of a student; it has no personality and expresses nothing except the fact that the man who blows it has no conception of the rights of other people. If a student cannot yell loud enough to let people know from whence he hails, he had better stay at home where he will not disgrace himself and his college with a tin horn. The noise and din in the Opera House at Emporia showed nothing except that when some people are expected to act the gentleman they are not to be relied on; and the presence of disinterested ladies in the audience has no effect on the manners or department of the youth of secterian schools.
Mr.GAMES has a strong opponent in the person of Miss Kate E. Morhart, of O. H. U. See what the Wooster Voice says: Miss Morhart's subject. "Materialism," was one at once a scientific and a poplar one, no other question of philosophy conveying so definite a con
tent to the general mind, and, in consequence, having the popularity perforce, of this. The composition of the lady's oration was excellent, her style perspicuous and very pleasing To say that no startling originality of thought was displayed in it, would be but to specialize a general truth concerning all but the rare phenomenon in college literary efforts. The delivery of the winning oration may be said to have been the feature of the evening. The lady's voice was excellent; her enunciation good, though nothing more; her gestures were rather studied, but effective; her general manner more confident than earnest. The natural nervous strain of the occasion was apparent in the lady's delivery throughout, though not largely detracting, in her case, from the general effect of her speech.
THERE is no department in the University that has brighter prospects than the Electrical Engineering Department. Through the untiring efforts of Prof. L. I. Blake this department has been raised to such a position that the facilities afforded for a technical training are not excelled anywhere. The department is in its infancy, having been in active operation only about two years. Our machine shops are supplied with the best machines the appropriation would allow, and they are used to the best advantage. To any one who has not seen the shops in operation we would say to do so at once. They are under the immediate control of Mr. Ward, who takes a pleasure in showing visitors through. Electrical Engineering is the coming profusion and many are fitting themselves for it.
WHAT pleasure it is to pick up a college magazine from the exchange table and see something light, airy, and pleasant to read. We have had so much oratory in the last month that the mere mention of state, monopoly, patriot, government, history and kindred subjects causes us to have a weary feeling. These are good subjects and should be studied, but can we not have an oration on some other line? We have at hand the Hamilton Review, a very worthy volume, and one that does credit to its publishers; but the articles printed therein are of too heavy a nature to be read through by a student who has been handling abstract subjects all day in the class room. We will file it away and save it until we want a "leader" on something we know nothing about, and then perhaps we will be glad to get some pointers. At present we are looking for a capsule to help us swallow logic.

Our Trip.
eks.
The Oratorical Contest which was held at Emporia last Friday night, was very largely attended by students from all over the state. Although K. S. U. did not send as large a delegation as many other colleges, we fully made up for this by the noise we made and by the genuine college spirit shown. From the time we struck Emporia, until tired and disgusted we "took the train" for home, everybody knew who we were and where we were from. Never had old Rock Chalk! seemed so inspired as upon that night. We were beaten, it is true, but even then the old yell proved that it was no more a cry of victory than an antidote for defeat. Poor Baker, with its sickening succession of insipid B-u-u-s was almost unable to make itself heard, and had to resort to the jayish and unsatisfactory use of horns, tin pans, etc., in order to display its enthusiasm, and even then they sounded more like a crowd of hoodlums than like a body of college students. The new yell of Washburn is a great improvement over the old one, and Washburn as well as several other schools, which were represented at Emporia, is to be congratulated upon knowing what a yell is for, and how to use it.
The train consisting of one car each, from K. S. U., Baker and Ottawa, must have been an object of great wonderment and curiosity to the wild eyed rusties along the line of the Southern Kansas. Our ear, at least, was a veritable Bullane.
Noise, you could not hear yourself think. There was a continual howling and yelling, while ever and anon the awe-inspiring voice of our editor-in-chief would rise above the roar, humming some plaintive melody, or reciting in his original way some story with a doubtful climax, to an admiring crowd of friends urging him on. This program pleasantly varied from time to time by songs from the Glee club, and continued until we reached Emporia.
After supper and a few hours before the contest, the office and corridors of the Whitley hotel presented a strange appearance. Delegations from all the schools were there, each trying its utmost to outdo the rest in the matter of noise. The din was terrible. Upon chairs and raidiators, in different parts of the room, stood leaders of different crowd, who flourished hats, canes, umbrellas or anything that they could get hold of in order to encourage their men to yell more lustily. Policemen were helpless, and the hotel proprietor was frantic. Above everything sounded clear and distinct, Rock Chalk, Jay Hawk! K. U-u-u—shouted at the top of the voices of a crowd of seeming maniacs, who crowded and jamed around the familiar form of Eari Brown, who lost for a time his own sweet personality and became perfectly demented.
In the opera house just before the contest the scene was much the same as that of the hotel office.
Through the kindness of the officers of the association K, S. U. was given the best seats in the house. Promptly at the appointed time the program was begun, which was interspersed by numerous musical numbers.
The program was then carried out as is printed in another column. We have left the review of the orations to the other fellow. We are speaking of the time we had. One pleasant feature of the evening was the victory we scored over the howling mob and tin horn brigade with the aid of the Glee Club.
The last number on the program was to be the State University Glee Club. This was encored and the club answered by a medely ending with the words "and if we must sing we well sing Rock! Chalk! Jay-Hawk K! U!-U.-U.
At the first Rock! Chalki every K. S. U. boy in the audiencia jumped upon the chairs and before the astonished audience could get their breath there went echoing through that hall three such yells as had never been heard before. The markings of the judges were as follows:

The Gymnasium.
At last we have a gymnasium. It came hard, like pulling teeth, but there it is, just under God's clear blue sky, or more truthfully speaking, the roof.
It is a good start and not to be sneezed at. Parallel bars, ladders, spring boards, jumping standards, pullies, indian clubs, dumb bells and in fact quite a complete outfit. We are sorry to notice that there was no instructor thrown in for our $65, but he is coming.
Those who have begun practice have learned from sweet experience that good judgment is required to make work in "loft' beneficial. Moderation at the beginning is the price of improvement. Several sore backs and strained arms are the result of the first week, but when these are well, athletic enthusiasm will be more wisely directed and only the best results can follow.
Many pieces of apparatus are suited to ladies' use, and we hope to find our fair sisters taking advantage immediately. We are informed that a quarrel of long standing between two ladies of the Freshman class was settled with the gloves last Tuesday. We refrain from publishing the name of the winner or the cause of the quarrel. We wish to aid in the settlements of such difficulties, and should the name of the gentleman involved appear here, new wounds would be cruelly opened.

A Pennsylvania correspondent, writing to Country Gentleman, saws:
My preference is for the plain, unadulterated smoked ham, and I will describe my plan for a cheap and handy smoke house. Not believing a permanent smoke house an ornament as an outbuilding, I dispensed with it and have made a portable one, which may be placed in any convenient shed or building and kept smudging away without danger from fire and without compelling the operator to expose himself to wintry storms. I used light basswood boards, and made a box about 7 feet long, 3 feet wide and 15 inches deep. When in use the box stands on end. The upper end has numerous hooks on which to hang hams or bacon. The box is three boards wide, and the cracks in back of box are closely battened on the inside. The middle board in front is not nailed, but the cracks are battened by nailing the battens to the permanent boards on each side of the middle movable board. There is a strip fastened across the front of the box between the two permanent boards two feet from the lower end. The movable board is here cut in two, so that the lower piece may be removed without disturbing the upper piece.
After hanging the hams the upper movable board is put in place and held there by wooden buttons. It is not to be disturbed till we wish to examine the meat. The lower piece is also held in place by wooden buttons, so that it may be easily removed and replaced as occasion requires. Some iron vessel is placed in the box back of the short, movable board, a few coals put in and corn cobs to fill the vessel. As the box is nearly air tight, the cows will smolder without blazing and furnish smoke for many hours. The board may then be removed, the vessel again filled with cobs and the board replaced. When we have finished the smoking process and are ready to make some disposition of our smoked meat the empty box is easily thrown upon some loft, there to remain till again needed.
Roads to Fortune Still.
Sit not despairingly down, O strugger in the world's rough, jostling throug! and say there are no more ways left for a man to succeed. Say not that every road to prosperity is choked full and running over, and that they who succeed only do so by crushing the bodies of weaker ones beneath their feet. This may be true if one consents to be weak and to be crushed. It is not true of the one who makes a plucky fight and will not be down.
It may be true to some extent that the old avenues to fame and fortune are blocked, choked with struggleers. But the old roads have been open a long time. There was a time when each in its turn was new. Then there was plenty of room. But the roads that lead to prosperity have not yet all been trodden and worn out. The ways are numberless, and there are now as many as there ever were at any time. If the old paths are filled, strike out boldly and find new ones. There was a time when the phonograph was not, or the sewing machine, or the telegraph, or the electric light. Some original spirit came along and found them and rode to fame and fortune. There are just as many useful machines waiting to be invented as there ever were. There are as many good books to be written, as many improved methods of living to be devised, from all of which he who hits his opportunity will reap golden harvest. But the main thing is to strike out from old, worn out ruts. Golden opportunities lie all around us as numerous as ever. Look out for yours, recognize it and snatch it.
The Paris Police.
Paris has a population of over two millions and a quarter. A gentleman had occasion not long since to search for his brother in that city. Neither knew the address of the other, and one did not know the other was in Europe at all. Neither could speak a word of French, which was in their way greatly. After all resources had been exhausted without success a member of the American colony in Paris suggested to the gentleman to apply to the police. The brother for whom search was made had himself been in Paris only a month, and knew nobody there.
The brother who was looking for him visited police headquarters with an interpreter. He was informed that the brother could be found if he was in Paris, but it might take a week or two. Then the gentleman was told to retire and wait till he received word from the officers. He did so, leaving at the department an accurate description of the missing man. Something over a wee passed, when one morning the youn man who was wanted was visited by a stranger, very gentlemanly, who said to him, "Monsieur, have you one brother named Zhong Dangfoort?"
An hour later the door of the room where the elder brother sat opened and the young man walked in. Out of 2,360-045 people the Paris police had found in two weeks the young American stranger who spoke no French. Strangest of all, too, they would take not one dollar of American gold for their trouble. Another point was their extreme caution. They would not give the young man's address to the elder brother till they were quite sure it would be wholly agreeable to the young man n"inself.
