A GREY EAGLE.
And the Trouble it Gave the Courteous men in Secretary Higgins' Office.
HUME
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS.
A letter was received at the secretary of state's office, some time ago from Joseph Henry of Ellis county, who wanted to sell the state a large grey eagle that he had captured alive.
Secretary Higgins was confined to his home by la grippe but the gentleman from Ellis was informed by the clerk in the secretarys office that there were no appropriations for such purposes and the offer would have to be declined. This, it was supposed would end the matter, but the answer received yesterday was a genuine surprise. It was no less than the immense bird itself. This slightly premature Christmas present to the state was an elephant on the hands of the office.
With their usual ability,however, for doing the right thing at the right time and always looking after the welfare of the state, they be thought them of the university. The University was delighted and would be overjoyed to receive the bird on Mt. Oread.
Accordingly Mr. Eagle was sent to continue his journey to the tle classic city of Lawrence and hereafter when the University's undaunted and unconquered foot ball team goes forth to gain fresh laurels with the pig skin, they will probably be seen carrying aloft the noble bird as did the Roman victors in times of yore. -Topeka Capital.
Mr. Eagle arrived and created quite a sensation among the citizens of Snow Hall. He can't sing but he is awful handy with tooth and toe nail.
LAWRENCE, KANSAS, JANUARY, 8 1894.
Notice !!
The Lawrence Weekly Journal appreciating the interest taken in the University by the people of the state and the parents of the students in particular, has determined to devote two columns its space, every week, to University news. Providing the students will do their share. All that is required, to put the friends at home in direct communication with the University and thus obviate the necessity of writing letters, is, that one hundred students or persons interested in the University, shall subscribe for the Weekly Journal. This paper, apart from the University news is equal to any weekly paper published in the west. It contains all the telegraphic news and topics of the day. To secure this paper, under these conditions, see personally or address.

K. S. U's, crimson champions played their final game of the season at Kansas City, Dec. 22, with the eleven of Washington University of St. Louis.
The Final Game.
This is indisputably the best team that K. S. U. has encountered this season. It has always had the benefit of the best training and has been beaten only once in the last five years. It is nothing to the discredit of our team, therefore, to play a draw game with them.
Washington won the toss and took the ball. They gained several vards on a wedge but lost on the next two downs. The quarter back fumbled the ball on the fourth down and the Kansans got it. The ball changed hands repeatedly on downs, fumbles and off side play. Neither side could gain much and the Missouri full back punted. The punt was a beauty and it landed the ball very near to K. S. U's. goal line. Hogg tried to return it, but punted too low and Mr. Scuilen of Missouri fell on the ball at the ten yard line. His men pushed him across the line with it and secured a touch down and goal.
K. S. U. took the ball at the center. The ball was given to Champlin and by a series of magnificent rushes they forced him through Missouri's center with it, five or six yards at a time. Missouri was powerless to stop the advance and when the perspiring Kansans forced their stocky half back over the line for a touch down the Kansas delegation went wild. Hogg kicked a very difficult goal and the score was a tie.
No more scoring was done in the first half. None was done in the second half and the score remained 6 to 6 till the end of the game. K. S.U. had the ball at the center when time was called. The Kansas City papers all agree that the game was the closest and most exciting that has been played there this year.
The Sigma Chi fraternity gave their second hop Wednesday evening in the Merchants Bank hall. It was an informal affair but proved most enjoyable. The Sigs are making a brilliant record for themselves in the social world. Among those present were the Misses Smeltser Lyon, Webber, Orton, Churchill, Rushmer, McMillan, Madison, Bowersock, Barett, Hand, Morris, Russell, Towne, and Mr. and Mrs. Bowersock Messrs. Harding, Babbitt, Brown, Riddle, Mayer, Lamb, Earl Brown, R. D. Brown, Hallowell, Bonebrake, Prof. Mayer, Sherman, Thrasher and Schall.

It is understood that eight oration have been handed in to the executive committee. The faculty committee will select six which will be delivered in the local contest. Much speculation is being indulged in as to the probable winner. We have picked our man, but won't bank on him to a very large extent.
th contest will be very close.
W.I.U.F.R.L.
For some time K. S. U. has been dissatisfied with its position in the triangular league. Baker and Washburn are good institutions but they do not rank with K. S. U, and the season has shown that in athletics they are much inferior. In our foot ball games with them the past season our eleven has scored ninety six points to their twenty-four, a proportion of exactly four to one.
It is plain that if interest in foot ball is to be kept up, our team must have opponents more nearly its equals in playing strength.
These considerations led to a correspondence with the Universities of Missouri, Iowa and Nebraska, a correspondence which culminated in a meeting of representatives of the four Universities at Kansas City Dec. 28, 1891, and the formation of a new league.
The name of the new organization is Western Interstate University Foot Ball League. The officers are:
President, Curtis Hill, of M.S.U.; vice president, E.M. Hopkins, of K.S.U.; secretary, Geo.F. Chandler, of N.S.U.; treasurer, David Holbrook, S.U.I.
Hal Reed of M. S. U. will be traveling secretary and arbiter.
Each team will play one game with each other team.
The schedule of games is as follows:
Nov 5 K S U vs M S U at Kansas City.
Nov 5 M S U vs N S U at
Umha.
Nov 12 K S U v N S U at Lin coln.
Nov 24 K S U vs S U I at Kansas City.
Nov 12 S U I vs MS U at Columbia.
Nov 24 M S U vs N S U at Lincoln.
The formation of this league does not mean necessarily that K. S. U. will withdraw from the triangular league. There is no reason why we should not belong to both organizations, if a schedule of games can be arranged which will not conflict with the one prepared by the W I U F B L.
ART NOTES.
Prot. Hopkins is very popular with the art students.
A life class, drawing and painting from the model, is now a regular thing at the school.
A few more fine casts are very much needed, although recent additions have helped greatly.
Prof. Hopkins frequently takes his pupils out sketching various points of interest about Lawrence.

The manager of the foot ball team has issued orders for the return of all foot balls, foot ball suits and other property of the association still in the possession of the players. This means that the foot ball season is over.
The library of Kansas books collected by Mr. J. W. D. Anderson, of Neosho Falls, Kan., has been placed in the University this week. This is a valuable addition to the Kansas alcove. It consists of about 175 volumes and 100 pamphlets. Many of these volumes are rare and of great historical interest; among the rare books is a complete set of the Kansas Magazine, Steel's Sons of the Border.
It is wonderful how our victrious eleven has advertised the University this year. The students on their recent vacation found the people in all sections of the state well acquainted with the career of the team. The Baker and Iowa games attracted special attention. K.S.U. has thus been brought to the notice of the public and a largely increased attendance next year will be the result.

ORATORICAL contest.
LET us see that foot ball pennant in its materiality soon.
THE first thing everybody asked of the K. S. U. student returned returned home for his Christmas vacation was, "Why didn't your fellows beat that Washington University team?
We are in receipt of the souvenir Christmas number of the Nebraska State Journal. It shows up the educational advantages of the state in a very favorable light. Chancellor Canfield receives some high praise and a good half tone cut
LET our most mighty athletic association see that there is no wane of the athletic spirit in K. S. U., now that the foot ball season has ended. A Hare and Hounds club should be formed immediately and put into training. We must keep up with the vehicle of progress.
THE College at Winfield is greatly excited over their local contest in oratory, and is making things extremely warm for the winner of the contest. It is claimed that his oration was the poorest one on the program and that he won through the favoritism of the judges. We are in no position to judge of the merits of the controversy, but would suggest that "wire pulling" and "log rolling" are not the characteristics if a winning orator or a winning college.

THERE is some talk of organizing a moot senate this winter as an aid in keeping up with the politics of the times and for instruction in the working of legislative bodies. The scheme is an old one and has been tried before in K. S. U. without success. The COURIER doubts as to whether such a moot senate would be an unqualified success without something to back it up and maintain an interest in it. At Oberlin college the students have something similar to a mood senate but which is far more "enthusing." They organize before a presidential nomination into a convention and nominate a candidate. This is one of the events of the school year there and is equal to an exciting oratorical contest. The COURIER would champion neither a moot senate nor a moot-convention but would rather see something of more originality. A moot farmers alliance for instance.

VALEDICTORY.
During the foot ball season just closed, the manager has paid the team no compliments, preferring to wait until the work was all done. That time has arrived and he now wishes to express publicly to the team and the second eleven his cordial appreciation of their labors; To Captain Kinzie for faithfulness in coaching and planning techniques; to Sherman, Champlin, Hogg and Williamson for brilliant field work; to the rush line for doing their duty well and letting others get the cred it for it; to the second eleven for its campaign of all work and no glory, except prospective; to the association and University for moral, physical, and financial support. All have worked together in harmony, and we may well be proud of the result.
The improvement in the work of the team has been steady from the beginning of the season. As soon as a weak point has been discovered, the entire team has set to work to correct it; and this united effort has enabled us to accomplish what ordinarily requires an experienced coach. By continuing to work in this way, we can reach a much higher degree of efficiency; and we should not rest content with having proved ourselves equal to the strongest teams about us. There is no reason why we should not make a creditable showing against any team in the United States, if we care to do so and will make the proper effort. In this connection a word or two of suggestion with reference to the next season will be in place.
First our training must be more systematic and severe than it has been. All football candidates should board at one table, and the diet be carefully looked after. Systematic exercise during the summer must be kept up. Every man must adhere to the requirements of training from the moment that the season opens, and as much earlier as possible and steps must be taken to see that this is done. It will not do for any one man to presume on his superior ability, and to assume liberty to keep late hours, to smoke or to neglect any part of his training. Discipline cannot be expected unless all conform to it; and while undue severity in this respect would perhaps have been out of place in the beginning of our work, if we hope to do better than we have done, discipline must be enforced, and the man who fails to conform to requirements must forfeit his place. The loss of such a man may cripple the team temporarily, but will strengthen it in the long run
The season should be shortened; and to this end, the number of games of the state league should be reduced one-half. But three games are called for by the inter-state league, and all can easily be played before Thanksgiving.
Attention to these points, with the same united effort that has marked the work of this season, will enable us to make a record even clearer than the present one. In the matter of courtesy to opposing teams, our record can hardly be improved; but we can live up to it,and continue to merit the respect of all whom we meet. The same disposition has been shown us by all our opponents, and the best thing to be said of the past season is that it has inaugurated an era of good feeling.
Training and practice must begin with the first day of University work in the fall. Provision has already been made for this in the reelection of Captain Kinzie.
A work should be said with reference to the interstate league just formed. The constitution and schedule adopted at Kansas City Dec. 28 will be submitted to the several universities for their approval, and any necessary changes can be made at the next meeting of the executive committee Oct. 1. The schedule now stands as follows.
Nov. 5. Kansas vs Iowa, Kansas City; Nebraska vs Missouri, Omaha.
Nov. 14. Kansas vs Nebraska, Lincoln; Missouri vs Iowa, Columbia.
Nov. 24 Kansas vs Missouri,
Kansas City; Iowa vs Nebraska, at
Omaha.
In order to pay expenses, it was thought best to play four of the six games in the large cities. The others are to alternate between the home grounds of the universities according to mutual agreement. That is, if we play Nebraska in Lincoln this year, next year that game will be played here; or the order can be reversed by the agreement of the two associations.
Copies of the constitution will be submitted to our association for criticism as soon as they can be printed.
The above games, with those of our own local league, will give us plenty of hard work to do. Athletic interest is rapidly growing in the state universities, and in the cities where the games are to be played, and the outlook for next year's work is decidedly hopeful and inspiring.
Our local contest in oratory this year promises to be of unusual interest. Sixteen men have handed in orations to the faculty committee and we ma. be sure that the six lucky orations will be of exceptional merit.
AMUSEMENTS.
GRACIE EMMET.
A full house should greet this clever little lady in her new play the "Pulse of New York" at the opera house on Jan. 13. It is a play of New York life that holds the interest of the audience from start to finish much of its success being due to the excellent stage settings as well as the clever acting.
JOHN DILLON.
Mr. Dillon's appearance at Bowersock opera house Monday, Jan. 11, will be hailed with delight by his old time admirers in this city. He is the veritable embodiment of wit and humor, whose sole mission seems to be to excite the risabilities of his fellow men. The sight of his face seems to drive away dull care as sunshine disperses the fog. Seats on sale Saturday.
There is good skating on the river near the ice houses and the boys about town are taking advantage of it.
Professor Miller's Book.
Prof. Miller's new trigonometry has just been issued by the Boston text book publishing house of Leach, Shewring & Sandhorn. It is intended primarily for the K. S. U. classes, but its merit is such as pronounced by eastern college mathematicians, that it will soon find its way into more general use. A year and a half's work on Porfessor Miller's part has produced results which would most naturally be attributed to a much longer period of labor. In the small portion of this work credited to compilation only the best mathematical thinkers have been consulted. The book also recommends itself by the great length to which it carries out demonstrations, and by the extension of marve of its formula far beyond those of the current text books. Answers to the practical problems are not given, compelling the student to prove his work from other formulas found in the book. Moreover the demonstrations in spherical trigonometry are much clearer than those commonly set forth. A chapter on trigonometric tables shows clearly how the natural functions of triangle measurement may be developed from the doctrine of limits, and also how the tables of logarithmic trigonometrical functions are obtained. The usual superfluous chapters on surveying and navigation have been omitted. Professor Miller has the pleasure of seeing his work get up in most artistic style by J. S. Cushing & Co., the Boston printers. The price is $1.35.
It is seldom that Lawrence people have been so favored musically as they were Thursday evening by the Musin Concert company at the opera house. To listen to so large a company with every individual an artist of the first rank is a treat seldom enjoyed by a small city and it is simply necessary to state that every number on the program was enclosed, (Musin being obliged to play twice after his Paganiian one string number), to show how well pleased the audience was.
The Concert.
One of the most enjoyable events in connection with the visit of the company was the recital before the students of the school of music Friday by Mr. Scharf, the pianist, and Miss Patmater, the contralto. A program consisting of five Chipon numbers, two by Lizzie Brown, three by Thomas and others, was greatly enjoyed by the large audience of students and friends present.
The feature was of course Musin's splendid violin playing. The variety of effects which he obtained from the instrument and the extreme delicacy of his playing have never been equalled here. Quartettes from "Rigobetto" and "Martha" were rendered with all the strength of Italian opera surroundings. Miss Tanner-Musin's voice is a phenomenal one in its compass and brilliance. Especially fine were the duets with the violin. Miss Marmenter's beautiful voice pleased greatly in her artistic banding singing. Mr. Scharf was handicapped by a poor piano for concert playing, but he secured wonderful results from it, both in his solos and his accompaniments. Mr. Sanger's great bass and Mr. Dupys' rich and ringing tenor were thoroughly enjoyed and appreciated.
It is gratifying to know that the concert was a success financially notwithstanding the large guarantee necessary to secure the services of the company. A fine audience was present, including a full dress box party which added greatly to the metropolitan appearance of the house, an event by the way which was appreciated greatly by the artists, and as they said, "inspired them to do their best."
If you hear loud voices in your neighborhood at any time during the night, do not be alarmed, for it is only some of the University orators practicing their orations.
The local oratorical contest at Baker occurs this evening. A number of the boys from the University will attend.
The appearance of the University campus is being very much improved by trimming the trees upon it.

SIZED UP AS A RUSTLER.
Be Proved Quite Harmless, However,
Notwithstanding His Appearance.
He had on a cowboy's hat—he had long hair and fierce black eyes—there was a claw from the foot of a grizzly bear dangling from his watch chain. You could size him up only in one way—the he had killed his man, or perhaps half a dozen of them. If he hadn't fought indians and stood up to the bad, bad men of the far west, then his looks beheld him. He was a quiet, unostentious man, as all nervy men are. He was reading a dime novel, as all game men do when they travel. Now and then he felt down the back of his neck to see if his bowie knife was cuddling up to his spine in a proper manner, and now and then he reached down to his boot logs to see that his cargo of revolvers hadn't shifted.
Three or four of us, after taking plenty of time to size him up, decided to ask him how and where he got the wound which had left the scar clear across his left cheek. It looked like the work of Sitting Dull's tomahawk, but we wanted the particulars. So it was agreed that I should work him up to tell his story, and after a quarter of an hour of diplomacy I had shaped matters so I dared observe:
"That is a bad scar you have on your cheek, and there is no doubt a story connected with it?"
and there is no doubt a story connected with it"
"Yes, sir, there is," he replied.
"We should like to hear the particulars, if you have no objection."
"The story don't amount to much," he modestly remarked.
"But you certainly had a close call. How many Indians were around you?"
"Indians? I didn't see no Indians."
"Oil Perhaps you were in a western stage when it was held up, and you got that scar in fighting off the road agents?"
"Never saw a road agent in my life," he answered.
"Tackled by a bad man perhaps?"
"Never saw a bad man."
"But you had a fight," I persisted.
"No, I didn't."
"Well, perhaps you'd be kind enough to explain how you got that scar?"
"I will. I went into a restaurant and ordered a pumpkin pie. The waiter brought me a squash pie instead. I kicked. The owner of the place, who was a woman, got mad and slammed with an old case knife. I afterward settled with her for three dollars in cash. That's the story, sir."
"But why—why are you wearing that hat and other things belonging to a western terror?" I asked.
"Those things? Oh, I got 'em of an actor for four dollars. He had to sell out or walk home, and as the walking wasn't good he sold out."
"And may I ask who you are?" I inquired, as an awful silence fell upon our crowd.
"Certainly you can. I've been working for a farmer near Monroe all summer for seven dollars a month and found, but I quit the other day and am going to Toledo to get a stock of stomach litters to sell on the road. Needn't nobody be afraid of me. I ain't loaded, and if I was I ain't got the sand to go off. Never tackled but one man, and I ain't got through running away from him yet."
Then we went to the other end of the car and tried to call the convention to order and do some resolving, but it was a failure. Everybody seemed to want to sit and think. —Detroit Free Press.
From ex-President Cleveland's speeck about the Pilgrim fathers: "We cannot teach their history and what they did and established and what they taught without also recalling that there have been pilgrims from New England, who, finding their way to every part of the land have taken with them those habits, opinions and sentiments which, having an early origin in American soil, should be best suited to American life everywhere and should be the best guarantees in every situation of the preservation in their integrity and purity of American institutions."
Chauneyc M. Depew has promised that New York will do all in her power for the success of the Columbian exposition. 'Tis well. Now if Chauneyc can stop the pens of the New York city editors till the people of the great state come into a condition of good will toward the fair maybe New York will yet make a creditable display of her resources in 1893.
The Sailor and His Pets.
The Sailor and His Pets.
Jack is fond of pets, and when at sea is allowed to cultivate that fondness to a certain extent. The most hard hearted shipowner does not object to having one or two stray dogs or cats provided with homes on his vessel. And Jack is very grateful for this indulgence. It affords him deep pleasure to hold in his loving though rough embrace the innocent creature who, either by a cheerful wag of the tail or a responsive parr, assures him that his attentions are appreciated, and that the fact of his being lacking in personal attractions is not taken into consideration.
Jack loves the poor creature just as tenderly as if he were perfect. The ship's cat may be lean and uninviting in appearance, but this does not prevent Jack from putting it. Other pets are sometimes kept on board ship. It is not unusual for seamen on vessels returning from tropical oorts to have pet monkeys or parrots. The captain's wife, who has her own way sometimes, turns her cabin into an aviary. Single captains have been known to keep pets on shipboard, although, as a rule, they seem ashamed to display any weakness of this description — London Tit-Bits.
The Mansfield, Ohio, Dally Herato recently date contains the following: "Years ago, a Richland county boy, William Barnes, of Washington township, varied his attendance at college at Delaware, Ohio, by teaching a winter term, of a country school, and among his pupils was Preston B. Plumb, and being the biggest boy in school, young Plumb made the firces for the teacher. Some years ago it was our privilege to call on both of these Buckeye boys, both of them dwellers in Kansas, the Senator at Emporia, and Cart Wm. Barnes at Lawrence, Kansas. Both of them early removed to the West, both of them soldiers in the Union Army, the teacher with possibly equal ability, but less push and self-assertion after the war settled down and still lives a quiet life in the beautiful city on the | Kawt. The scholar forged ahead, and from eighteen-hundred and eighty-six to the hour of his death filled the public eye. Plumb was a pushing positive character, "and the people of Kansas and the swhole country in his death have sustained a great loss"

A Process for Making Tin.
Heretofore it has been impossible to get lead to adhere to iron without the aid of tin. This can now be done by the following means: First, pickle the plates in a bath to remove the scale, weak electric current being sent through the bath. Remove the plates to a bath of lime water and thence to one of fresh water. From this place them in a bath consisting of a neutral solution of zinc and stannic chlorides, thence to a drying chamber heated by steam. When dry place them in a bath of molten lead 93% per cent. pure—New York Times.

"SEEING IS BELIEVING."
But who wants a "tolerably" good egg? And there is a heap of trouble with a "tolerably" good lamp. There is one lamp good without the tolerable--THE ROCHESTER SIMPLE. BEAUTIFUL, Good--the words mean much, but to see THE ROCHESTER will impress the truth more forcibly. All metal, tough and seamless, and made in three pieces only, it is ABSOLUTELY SAFE and UN-BREAKABLE. Like Aladdin's of old, it is indeed a "wonderful lamp," for its marvelous light is purer and brighter than gas light, softer than electric light and more cheerful than either
Some lamps are TOLERABLY good.

"A Hole in the Ground" and "A Tin Soldier"
NAME THE WINNER.
Here is the List of Orators—The Contest Will be Close.
Last Friday evening the faculty committee that had been chosen to select the six orations that should be delivered in the oratorical contest made its report. The one of these winning the contest that occurs in about two weeks, will represent the University in the state contest that occurs in Topeka on the 12th of February.
The chosen six with the titles of their orations are W. W. Brown, "War an Obsolescent Factor in Progress; W. H. Riddle, "Voice of the Middle Ages;" F. Lutz, "The Individuals Ideas of Life and Its Social Influences;" J. M. Challis, Shylock and Justice;" E. F. Robinson, "A Story of Conquest." R. D. Brown-The Spirit of Dissent a Factor in Progress."
Every man in the above list is a strong one and the contest will be the closest and most exciting ever held by the students. Mr. W. W. Brown is a senior and a member of the Sigma Chi fraternity. He has always been known to have a style peculiarly his own and will give his friends reason for their belief in his oratorical abilities. Mr. W.H. Riddle is a junior and also a Sigma Chi. He has never made any pretense of great things n this line, but will be sure to do well, as he words hard at everything he undertakes. Mr. Ernest Robinson is a son of Prof. Robinson, a junior and a Phil Psi. This is also his first attempt but he has a very pleasing delivery and will surprise those who do not know him. Mr. J. M. Challis is a general favorite among a large portion of the students. He has such a telling way of putting things that hisoration is almost sure to please. He has a very powerful voice and a magnificent physique, and will rustle hard for a good place. Mr. Frank Lutz is a dark horse. No one knows what he can do, but hints are going round that he has a surprise in store for somebody. Mr. R. D. Brown speaks the same oration that won so much favorable comment last year, and the large amount of hard work he has expended since then will tell when the time comes.
The judges selected are as follows: Thought and composition, Messrs Emery, Nevison and Russel, on delivery, Messrs Learnard, Howland and Quayle.
Notice.
The Lawrence Weekly Record in order to extend its circulation among the students and patrons of the University will hereafter devote a portion of its space each week to University rews. A faithful record will be kept of all minor occurrences on the hill while the oratorical contests, local, state and interstate, the base ball games, the tour of the Glee club, etc., will be written up at length. Special rates to students. Orders may be left at the Record office or with Mr. W. P. Harrington at the University.
Seminary Today!
The Historical Seminary will meet this afternoon at four o'clock. Civil Service Reform is the subject to be considered Mr. Truitt will read a paper on the Development of the Spoils System. Mr. Fullerton one on the "Adoption and Operation of the Pendleton Act, and Mr. Cann's paper will be on the Advantages of the Merit System. It will be a very interesting and profitable meeting.
Another new student, Mr. Swansea,of Kansas City, Kan., entered the senior law class this week.
The Baker Contest.
Baker heid her local oratorical contest last Friday evening with four contestants for the honor.
The four speakers and their subjects were as follows: T. C. Lockwood, The Race Problem of the South; Mert Rice, The Stability of Our Nation; Bert Scott, Progress and Triumphs of the Laboring Man; Percy Willetts, The Dominant Epochs in Progress. The judges gave Mr. Willetts first place. The contest was a strong one and its winner, Mr. Willetts, will give the other contestants 'n the state contest something to do.
A Scheme's Afoot.
Yesterday at 1 o'clock the stock holders of the Oratorical association met in the chapel. The meeting had been called by circulating one of those ever present petitions and the majority of those present were totally in the dark as to the purpose of the aforesaid meeting. President O'Leary with his usual presence of mind immediately called the meeting to order but omitted to state for what purpose they had assembled. After some discussions as to what on earth they were there for, it was moved by R. D. Brown that a committee be sent after Prof. Templin to see if he could reveal the psychological phenomena. The professor was not to be found and after some more scattering discussions it was moved that a committee of ten be appointed to confer with the faculty and ascertain if possible for what reason the meeting had been called. The committee upon finding out the aforesaid strays or stolen object of the meeting, were ordered to issue another call and lay the matter again before the O. A.
The Cardinal Dead.
LONDON, Jan. 14.—Cardinal Manning died at 8:20 o'clock this morning.
His Eminence Henry Edward, Cardinal, priest of the Roman church and Archbishop of Westminister, son of the late William Manning, E.q., M. P., merchant of London, was born at Calteridge, Herfforshire, July 15, 1808, was educated at Borrow and Balli college, Oxford, where he graduated B. A. in first class honors in 1830 and became a fellow of Merton college. He was for some time one of the select preachers in the university of Oxford, was appointed rector of Lovington and Groffhaus, Sussex in 1834 and Archdeacon of Chichister in 1840. These preferments he resigned in 1851 on joining the Roman Catholic church, in which he entered the priesthood and in 1857 founded the ecclesiastical congregation at Bayswater, entitled Oblates of St. Charles Borremo. The degree of D. D. was conferred upon him at Rome.
After the death of his Eminence Cardinal Wiseman, Mensignor Manning was consecrated archbishop of Westminster June 8, 1865. Pope Pius IX created him cardinal priest March 15, 1875. The same pontiff invested him with a Cardinal hat in the consistory held at the Vatican Dec. 31, 1877. He was the author of a large number of religious books besides numerous sermons and pamphlets. Cardinal Manning was well known, not only for his work as a Roman Catholic prelate and divine but also for his exertions in the cause of temperance and social reform. He has taken a leading part in the settlement of labor disputes with which London has been troubled for several years past. The celebration of the Cardinals Episcopal jubilee took place on Sunday June 8, 1890.

Tongue Twisters.
The following is a collection for our orators and the elocution class next term:
"Of all the saws I ever saw, I never saw a saw saw as this saws."
"Up the high hill he heaves a huge round stone."
"Amidst the mist and coldest frost,
With bare wrists and stout stouste buns,
He thruches his fists against the post,
And still insists he sees the ghosts."
"Theophilus Thistle, the successful thistle sifter, in sifting a sieveful of thistles, thrust three thousand thistles through the thick of his thumb."
"Peter Prangle, the prickly pear picker, picked three pecks of prickly prangly pears from the prangly pear trees of the pleasant prairies."
*Crazy Craycroft caught a crate of crickled crabs,*
"Villey Vite and viefe vent a voyage to Vest Vindser and Vest Vickiam von Vitson Vednesday."
A crate of crickled crabs crazy Cravercroft caught;
If crazy Graycroft caught a crate of crickel crabs,
Where's the crate of crickled crabs crazy
Graycroft, caught?"
"Thou wreathd'st and muzzled'st the far-fetched ox, and imprisoned'st him in the volcanic Mexican mountain of Pop-o-cat-apet-l a Con-i pax-i."
Moot Senate.
All the students on the hill seem to be heartily in favor of a moot senate and in all probability one will be organized immediately after examinations are over. The plan if carried out as proposed is most assuredly a good one and will give a better idea of senatorial proceedings to all who take part in it besides giving all our would be orators a chance to develop into full fledged Peffers. Prof. E. D. Adams has consented to act as presiding officer and Prof. Blackmar will help in giving aid to the future statesmen in drafting bills and in inaugurating reforms that will show the U. S. senate how such things should be done.
It seems the proper thing for all Kansas towns to have a Keeley institute, but nobody has said anything about one here.

EXAMINATIONS are coming.
The contest in oratory next Friday night will prove an exciting one. ___
K. S. U. is champion in all the sports. Will she hitch her wagon to the morning star and gain the winner in the state contest?
The orator at Baker, Mr. Willits, is reported to be a strong man who will make the winner of the state contest work hard for the honor of beating him.
PROF. E. M. HOPKINS wrote the valedictory in foot ball. His name should have been signed to the article, but was omitted through mistake in proof reading.
The Christmas Courier is receiving a great many notices from papers in the state. All seem proud of K. S. U. and are glad to see it advertised in so neat a way.
The winners of the contest at Winfield according to the latest reports from there, is pre-eminently the man for the position and is entirely satisfactory to the college. Mr. Barrett is said to be a strong man on the rostrum and nuch is hoped from him in the state contest.
APPRECIATING the feelings of the M. S. U. students over the recent disastrous fire from what our own would be should our K. S. U. become a mass of charred ruins, we can but extend our sympathy and hope that a legislature which has proved itself to be liberal, will replace the buildings destroyed with far finer ones.
THERE may be some humor in the idea of throwing rubbers at each other in the halls but if there is we have failed to catch it. We have lost several pair of rubbers from this heedless disregard of others property and we would kindly ask the rubber fiends to take our hat and overcoat and slam each other with them. When they are worn out just tell us and then we will purchase a club.
THERE is some talk of combining the oratorical association and the lecture course bureau into one organization. The idea is to give the lecture bureau the funds which are distributed as dividends among the stockholders in the association. The profits are not so great that they will aid the lecture bureau and in some ways the scheme would be a detriment to the bureau. If there must be a combination of the two let there be an entirely different organization made comprising both the O.A. and the L.C.B. under one organization. The contest in oratory under the new scheme might come in as one of the attractions in the course. The Courier is not in favor of a doubling up of the two organizations but if it must happen let the lecture bureau retain its entirety.
"The class in statistics has undertaken to secure some reliable information regarding cost of living per school year for students attending our University. It is therefore desired that every student to whom this circular is sent, return an answer within a weeks time to the subjoined itemization of expenses. DIRECTIONS."
The class in statistics has undertaken some real practical work in the collecting of statistics and have issued a little scheduled circular which reads as follows:
COLLEGE STATISTICS.
1. Sign your name and give the course you are pursuing and the class of which you are at present a member, in the space left for that purpose. The reason for requesting your signature is merely to secure authenticity of statistics. That portion of the circular containing your signature will be detached by Mr. E. D. Adams, instructor in statistics, from the portion giving expenses. Onlp the latter portion will be seen and used by the class in compiling the figures given, so that there can be no knowledge of the personality of any one answering this circular.
2. Each student is expected to answer for the expenses of the college year, of ten months ending June 10th, 1891. Indicate the class year for which the expenses are given by drawing your pen through that year named in the heading at the top of the next page.
3. When it is impossible to give accurate figures for the items of expense called for, make a close estimate, and upon entering the item place the letter E after it.
4. Place this circular in the enclosed envelope, seal, and deposit it in one of the boxes standing in the hall of the main building and in the hall of the law building.
E. II. Snow, Chancellor."
F. H. SNOw, CHATTERMAN
The following items are in the schedule for expenses: Tuition and laboratory fees, books and stationery, clothing, roomrent, furniture, board, fuel and light, washing, sundries. The Courier hopes to get a "scoop" on the catalogue and publish the results of the class's research.
The contest in oratory here will be the best that has occurred for yeas. Those taking part are all students of exceptional merit and have devoted considerable time to the preparation of their orations and several of them are quite prominent as speakers already. The halls, even now are resounding with the voice of the drill master in elocation as he laboriously instills into his willing pupils the proper tones and the right gestures which are to make them winners.
A University ball. Proceeds to be devoted to the lecture course fund.
There is still a great deal of sickness in town. It is mostly the grip and a larger number of elderly people are afflicted than usual.

Charles Coffin, Ea., Executor of the will
of Wm B. Spoon, Boston, Muss.;
The will of the late William B. Spooner,'who left nearly $100,000 to the state university, was one of the most embarrassing and complicated wills ever admitted to probate in Boston. The number of bequests was nearly fifty and the conditions and contingencies were almost without limit. For twelve years the executor worked diligently, practically without compensation, and finally had the satisfaction of closing up the entire transaction to the satisfaction of every person interested. Fully appreciating the work of the executor, the board of regents transmitted to him the following letter:
DEAR SIR. The undersigned members of the board of regents of the University of Kansas beg leave to express to you in this insufficient way their appreciation of the admirable manner in which you have exe cuted the irksome and perplexing trust imposed on you by your friend the late Wm. B. Spooner. Mr. Spooner's magnificent liberality to the people of Kansas has by your faithful and intelligent labors been made available to those for whom it was intended; and on behalf of the state we make haste to acknowledge the great debt of gratitude which we owe you. It is our earnest de sire that at no distant day you will become our guest, that we may more adequately thank you for what you have done, and at the same time show you, in some detail, for whom and for what you have done so. Respectfully yours.

Unfortunately the happy suggestion of a visit to Kansas by Mr. can never be realized as news has just come of the good man's death. A severe attack of pneumonia was more than his system could with stand. Mr. Coffin will always be held in grateful remembrance by Kansans—as so well indicated by the language of the regents' letter.

About Leap Years.
This is leap year, and the next one will come in 1896. Then there will be no more until 1904. After 1896 maidens must wait eight years before traditional law will give them the right to pop the question to willing bachelors. Only century years that are evenly divisible by 400 are to be classed as leap years, according to the corrected calendar ordained by good Pope Gregory in 1562, and since adopted by every civilized country except Russia, which is still far behind in its calendar as it is in everything else.
From the most ancient times mankind divided the year into seasons. The Romans had originally a year of ten months instead of twelve. Consequently, September, October, November, December—meaning, respectively, seventh, eighth, ninth and tenth months—closed the year just as they do now, except that December, the last month, instead of being the twelfth, was the tenth, as its name indicates. When the year was divided into twelve months the old names were retained, although the months were shoved forward.
In the time of Julius Cesar there was great confusion of the calendar. The year was gradually slipping around till the winter months were coming into summer. Julius Cesar righted the confusion to a great extent by the Julian calendar, which ordered that 365 days should constitute a year, while every fourth year should have 366 days and be a leap year. But it does not take the earth exactly $365\frac{1}{4}$ days to move around in her orbit to the spot whence she started on Jan. 1. It requires eleven minutes ten seconds less than a fourth of our day of twenty-four hours. Consequently, in counting a full quarter day each year, the calendar was taking eleven minutes ten seconds of what belonged to the next year. In a little less than five years and a half, thus a good hour would be sliced off the new year. Taking this hour from the day next after, it would in time throw the old day away behind in its dates and make the spring months come in midsummer.
The Julian calendar was adopted 46 B.C. It ruled the days and centuries till the time of Pope Gregory in 1582. Ey that time dates had gone ten full days behind. It made Christmas come the middle of December and knocked Easter and other church festivals all out of kelter. On account of these church celebrations there was an absolute necessity for correcting the calendar. We owe the correction, therefore, to religious and not civil requirements. Pope Gregory summoned his wise men and mathematicians, and after long study these decided that the wrong already done could be rectified by adding ten days to the date of the month. Thus Oct. 5 became Oct. 15 and Easter and Christmas would once more come at the right time of the year.
But there was the ever recurrin, eleven minutes and ten seconds too much which had been reckoned annually in the year of the Julian calendar. How could the days be kept from again slipping back? After more deep study and calculation the pope's wise men decided that to skip one leap year each in three centuries would bring the records about right. The pope therefore ordained that no century year shall be a leap year unless it is evenly divisible by 400. The next century leap year will come in 2000. By that time probably it will not make much difference to us personally whether it is leap year or not.
At the time the Gregorian calendar was instituted there was a bitter fend between Catholics and Protestants, and the Protestant countries would not adopt it. Switzerland and the Lutherans of Germany held out till 1700. Then they had to add eleven days instead of ten to their calendar. Last of all, England, in 1752, came into the Gregorian reckoning, but she had to add twelve days to her count. General Washington, born in 1732, was therefore born under the old style calendar, which would make the date of his birth Feb. 10 instead of the 22d.
The difference between the civil year and the natural year has now been reduced very small. There is still a slight difference, but by the Gregorian reckoning it will take 5,000 years for this difference to amount to as much as a day, which will be in the year 6382. If we happen to be here at that time in some of our numerous travels, we can easily fix things straight in the calendar —thanks to Pope Gregory.
Burglarized on His Wedding Night.
Burglarized on His Wedding Night.
Charles Rohan was a graduate of Oberlin college. He went to New York, where he wooed and won a prominent young lady. On the night following his wedding his wife was awakened by pistol shots, and soon saw her husband rush into the room. He had burglarized the next door residence, and, being discovered at his nefarious job, was pursued and shot at. He fought his way through a crowd of policemen, who were attracted by the pistol shots, and made good his escape. He was soon afterward captured for another job and sent to the Ohio penitentiary from Cuyahoga county. In the meantime it developed that the wedding in New York was a mock affair, and his supposed wife has since married a wealthy merchant.
A few days ago Rohan was tried for the New York crime, and his defense was based on the affidavit of J. G. Shaw, his pal, to the effect that the latter was the man who deceived the young lady and robbed the house of her next door neighbor. The young woman, deeply veiled to conceal her identity, came into court and identified Rohan as the man, notwithstanding Shaw's affidavit. Her name was kept a secret in the court room by an arrangement with the attorney—Cincinnati Commercial Gazette.
Interesting Mrs. Hope Dead.
Interesting Mrs. Hope Dean.
Mrs. Hope, of Luffness, who died recently in her eighty-first year, was a link with the long distant past, for she was a granddaughter of the Lord Douglas who obtained world wide fame as the winner of the Douglas case, which was perhaps the most extraordinary and romantic litigation on record. Lord Douglas, the successful claimant, had one daughter, who was the heiress of his vast possessions, and she married the younger brother of the fourth Duke of Bucklech, who was created Lord Montagu of Boughton, and who is now only remembered through his friendship with Sir Walter Scott. Lord and Lady Montagu had three daughters, of whom the eldest married the late Lord Home, and she inherited the Douglas estates.
Mrs. Hope, who was the youngest daughter, married Mr. George Hope, of Luffness, some time Tory member for Windsor, and brother of the famous James Hope Scott. Mrs. Hope died at Bothwell Castle, Lanarkshire, which had been her principal residence for many years past, and she was buried in the Luffness walt at Aberlady, East Lothian, the funeral being attended by the Duke of Buccleench and Lord Home and by numerous members of their respective families.—London Truth.
Abandoned Farms in Massachusetts. Within the borders of the old Bay State are more than 900 abandoned farms. A list of many of these forsaken homesteads is accessible at the headquarters of the state board of agriculture, and any one who wishes a country life and country air can have his longing gratified for a very small outlay in cash.
The people of Wichita are becoming interested in University extension and are now engaged in the formation of a large class. If they are successful the first course will be given by Prof. Miller on Astronomy and Prof. Williston on Geology. The way the movement has grown is wonderful.
Most of these abandoned farms are found in the hill towns of the western counties, ideally beautiful for situation, many of them, and lacking only the touch of the wand wealth to become magnificent manors. Essex has less than any other county, except Suffolk, where farms of any kind are rare, if not precisely few and far between.
There seems to be no good reason why such places should go to rack and ruin, when hundreds of city folks are longing for a summer home at a modest price.—Boston Globe.

LACKS TRUTH ONLY
COLD FACTS DESTROY AN ENTER
TAINING GHOST STORY,
Reminiscences of Lord Lytton Which Are More Valuable in Relation Than In Truthfulness — An Alleged Hunted Room Which Did Not Exist.
Romantic Lord Lytton was, but not superstitions. His death, however, has revived the story of the yellow boy's room; the ghost chamber said to exist at Knebworth house, the beautiful ancestral home of the Lyttons for more than 600 years. At Mr. W. P. Frith's door must the charge be laid of having put the interesting tale in circulation, for we find it first in his engaging volume of "Reminiscences." After relating Westwood's experiences with the weird woman of the Maison Blob, the painter supplements the story by another anecdote of more tragical significance.
"At Knebworth," he says, "the seat of Lord Lytton, there is a bedchamber called the yellow boy's room." He then proceeds to relate that during a visit to Knebworth, Lord Castlereagh, while the guest of the grandfather of the late British embassador to Paris, was assigned without a word of warning to the mysteries and haunted room. Feeling very tired he soon dropped into sleep, but his uneasy slumbers were troubled and it was not long before he awoke. What it was which startled him his lordship never knew, but the sight which met his eyes as he gazed at the still burning fire in his room was startling enough. The figure of a boy, with long, yellowish hair streaming down, sat in front of the flameace with his back toward the Irish nobleman. As the latter looked, the lad arced, turned toward him, and drawing back the curtain at the bottom of the bed with one hand, with the other he drew his fingers two or three times across his throat. Of course the impression produced on Castlereagh was decidedly disturbing. Bulwer insisted that he must have been dreaming, but his lordship declared with emphasis that he saw the figure as distinctly as he saw his host at that moment, and that, far from being silent, he was wide awake.
A TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE.
Mr. Frith then adds that Mr. Bulwer did not tell Lord Castlereagh—Byron's "carotid cutting Castlereagh"—that the yellow boy always appeared to any one who was destined to die a violent death and always indicated the manner of it to his victim.
A more amusing and loss unpleasant incident is told of the same chamber at Knobworth by our artist author, the subject being a timid, nervous brother painter who spent a night at the poet's lovely and stately retreat in Hertfordshire. The father of the author of "Luclie," Mr. Frith says, confided the details of the Castlelore story to his guest on allotting the yellow boy's room to him, remarking on bidding him good night. "You will not be frightened, will you?" "No-o-o-o," said the painter, with an ashy face. "Well, it is getting late; what do you say to retiring? Yes, that is your candle. Too warm for a fire in your room. You don't mind? Good night." "The rest of the story shall be told," says Frith, "in my old friend's words as nearly as I can remember them. I had seen," he went on, "the infernal room before dinner, and I thought it looked a ghostly sort of place, and when I reached it that night what would I not have given to be back in my own room at home! I looked under the bed, up the great, wide chimney, and had a shock from the sight of my own face in the looking glass. No ghost could be whiter than I was. I don't believe in ghosts, you know, but still it was really too bad of Lytton to tell me such things just as I was going to bed, and then to put me in the very place! There was an awful old cabinet. I managed to pull open the door and was tugging at the other, when my candle went out—how, I don't know —somebody seemed to blow it out. I can't tell you what became of it; all I know is I jumped into bed with my boots on, and lay trembling there for hours. Frith—literally for hours—till sleep took me at last; and never was I more thankful than when I woke and saw the sun shining into the yellow boy's room."
NO TRUTH IN THE STORY.
The circumstantiality with which Mr. Frith tells these short tales must convince his readers that he is thoroughly satisfied in his own mind that the incidents which he carefully describes all
happened at Knebworth. And yet, in that respect, he is altogether out in his reckoning. There is no yellow boy's room in that grand old house of the Lyttons at Knebworth, Lord Castlereagh never spent a night there, nor is it known that he ever visited the place in his life. In the autumn of 1884 I spent two or three very agreeable days at Knebworth, the guest of Lord Lytton, who very kindly showed me everything of interest about his home and its charming surroundings.
I thought it strange that the yellow boy's room—if there really was such a room—had not been open to me, and that the very story associated with it in the Frith reminiscences had been kept back. So I sent one of a hurried note to Owen Meredith, then performing his embassador functions in the gayest capital in Europe, and an early mail brought me these lines:
"PARIS, 8th Feb'v. 1888."
"MY DEAR MR. STEWART—I answer your letter of the 12th inch, in desperate and unavoidable haste. Mr. Frith's autobiography is all wrong about the story of the 'Yellow Boy.' That story was told by Sir Walter Scott of Lord Castlereagh, who is said to have seen the 'Yellow Boy' in some house in Ireland at the time when he was secretary for Ireland, just before the union, and the story went that the apparition then predicted to him the mode of his death. But the incident certainly did not occur at Kneebworth, nor do I think Lord Castlereagh was ever there. Yours very faithfully; LYTON."
The Castlereagh story is quite familiar to the readers of Scott and Lockhart's noble biography—Independent
TOO FOND OF HIMSELF.
So Much Interested in the Fair Passe
that He Paid Double.
A pretty young woman, dressed in the height of fashion, got into one of the Fifth avenue "busses" the other day to drive up to Central park. Some of these busses still run on the old "boattail" system, that is, they have no conductors to collect the fare, and passengers must themselves drop their nickels into a box at the end of the conveyance. The driver is supplied with a quantity of small coin to make change for passengers who have not the exact fare. As this handsome young woman took out her purse, several men bent forward expectantly for the privilege of passing her coin up to the box for her. Ignoring their readiness, she made her way up to the box herself and dropped a dime into it.
Then she waited for her change. No change came, however. She looked at the box anxiously, evidently thinking that perhaps she needed to pull out a handle or press a button somewhere in order to see her change fall out, but all she saw was a little sign, "Put the exact fare in the box." The men whom she had overlooked only grimed. She appealed to the driver for change. He told her he could not open the box, but that if she would wait until another passenger got aboard she could have his nickel instead of his dropping it in the box.
Pretty soon a typical "chappie," with monicle and English covert, coat much too large for him, stepped into the bus and offered the driver ten cents to be changed into two nickels. The driver explained to him the predicament the young lady was in and asked him to give her one of the nickels.
"Certainly, with all the pleasure in the world," said the young fellow, as with a "din't-l-just-in-it" smile he raised his hat, bowed profusely to the young woman and dropped a nickel into her little gloved hand. He beamed into her eyes as he did so in a way that evidently embarrassed her, but he grinned wider at her blush and looked around at the others as if to say, "Watch me mash her the first time." Then with a jaunty air he dropped the other nickel in the box.
Then several men snorted and the young fellow looked up surprised to see what they were laughing at. He could not help seeing that he was the object of their mirth. He could not understand it at first, but pretty soon it struck him that he had got rid of two nickels for one ride. Then he blushed up to the roots of his hair, gave very hot indeed and went out on the roof to cool off.—New York Tribune

Some lamps are TOLERABLY good.
And bly wi Sna m u I l p n i w w wh Mr Rockstar
But who wants a "tolerably" good egg? And there is a heap of trouble with a "tolerably" good lamp. There is one lamp好 without the tolerable--THE ROCHESTER SIMPLE, BEAUTIFUL, GOOD--these words mean much, but to see THE ROCHESTER will impress the truth more orchidly, in metal, in pieces only, it is ABSOLUTELY SAFE and UNHEARABLE. Like Aladdin's of old, it is indeed a "wonderful lamp," for its marvelous light is purer and brighter 'han gas' light, softer than electric light and more cheerful than either.

"Keep cool," said the burner to the oil fount. "Don't hug me so tight then," it replied. We heard their conversation, and so make our burner in two pieces, between which the air circulates freely, and our oil fount is cooler than that of any other lamp.

Watch for Max O'Rell.
Max O'Rell is in the lecture course. Feb. 5.
Are you going to the contest at Topeka.
F. E. Reed, of Kansas City, was up to the contest.
The Haskell boys were very courteous in responding to encores.
LAWRENCE, KANSAS, JANUARY, 22 1892
This week has witnessed some revolutions in the boarding clubs.
White don't see how the Glee club can sing without words or music.
Herb Hadiey is under the impression that he is a 'statesman out of a job.'
Why did Shaffer sing "Ba Ba" when Prof. Penny moved "Bag of Wool."
Red is the color. Look at the grade cards. There's loyalty to the crimson for you.
The Glee club will take in the Hasken Institute department as an annex before they make their tour.
Prof. Sterling is talking of getting batting cage and putting the boys at work immediately.
The song "Ba Ba" nearly killed McCall. He fainted at the close and had to be taken down town in a hack.
The Sigma Nus are having their hall papered. They claim to have the largest and finest fraternity hall in town.
Prof. Miller's great astronomical display will take place immediately after Max O'Rell's lecture next Friday night.
Jim Challiss should negotiate with the young ladies in the state contest and endeavor to get them to withdraw in his favor. Jim is quite a diplomat in this art.
Just a little politics this week. Officers of the oratorial association are to be elected and it is understood that the state is fixed.
Mr. Park has stepped his foot in it in attempting, in his infantive way, to squelch Dr. Howland. A Mr. Laslett of Y. M. C. A. fame did the same trick last year.
Prof. Canfield delivered the first lecture on the extension course at Abilene this week. He took for his subject, Shakespeare. Abilene is very enthusiastic over the course.
The city of state, majestic old Topoka,
will soon wake to the fact that K. S. U.
is still in this terrestrial whirl.
Rock Chalk, Jav Hawk, K. U.! Watch that
policeman dance.
One of the most prominent seniors and an orator in the recent contest, in the young peoples meeting at one of the churches last Sunday gave in the following testimony of the efficacy of prayer. He said: "Once there was a bad man, a very wicked man, who had never been known to pray'in his life. He went to church and prayed. As he stepped out the church door he was struck by lightening." The ways of the Lord are mysterious.
Frank Crowell, '88, opens the young men's republican banquet at Topeka this evening, responding to the toast, "Kansas." E. C. Little, also a former K. U. boy, is on the list.
Max O'Rell, the greatest humorist on the stage will convulse his hearers next Friday night on "America as seen through French Spectacles." Get your seats early Wednesday morning.
One of the laws took an icy bath this last week.
What's the matter with Challiss? He's all right you bet! !!
Brown has the state presidency of the O. A. in his vest pocket and will keep it there.
Clarence Hall, city editor of the Journal, forgot to state that Curry presided at the contest.
Many of the base ball enthusiasts were seen on the dryest streets this last week, diligently practicing for the opening of the season.
There is a meeting of the oratorical association today and the order of the day is talk an arm off your friend in an attempt to get him to vote for your candidate.
Rumor has it that Prof. Mayer has resigned his position in the University to accept an offer from the University of Pennsylvania.
Another one of the old students of K. S. U. had added his name to the list of married men. G. W. Harrington, a graduate of both the collegiate and law departments, we learn was married laterly to Miss Hattie Graf, a teacher in the Hiawatha high school. Mr. Harrington is one of the rising lawyers of Hiawatha, and already has a large practice. The Courier sends its best wishes.
HODGE PODGE.
If a man would follow a turned-up nose would he go to heaven?
Marriage has been called a lottery. How many of our seniors drew blanks?
We always wondered which one of ourselves a cross eyed man was speaking to.
Our old friend Jerry Fox has turned into a drummer. Well;Jerry always had a weakness for the girls.

A great many men begin the day by dutifully getting up with the lark and end it by going off on one. —Ed Howe.
The fair Godess of fortune, now that the boys have ceased to tempt her can travel the even tenor of her way unmoilested.
We have often noticed that when a student starts to cut down expenses his girl is the one who suffers. The cigar and necktie bill generally remains the same.
The Industrialist, a col-ed paper of Manhattan has as its latest effort "The Folly of Anger." Evidently the person who wrote it never had occasion to hold a pair of pants up with a shingle nail or crawl under the bed for a color button.
The girl who won two pounds of candy on the contest had better look out as all games of chance are a little off color at present, even the chance of passing in examination.
When we write a dictionary we will define "poker" as an iron-instrument to punch the fire with. "Chips", the refuse from a wood pile and "whiskey" as an antidote for snakebites. "Penny-ante" will be our mother's sister and a cent piece, and "no limit" will apply to a student's credit. The late action of the faculty has materially changed the complexion of the English language as oblied to this school.
The young republicans of the University have it eaten anything for a week past; they will be able to get their three dollars worth at the banquet in Topeka. They got left when they think they would make anything on a student. A man who eats on a meal ticket has an enormous capacity on short notice.
OUR ORATOR
As Others See him and What They Say.
As fast as Atchison statesmen lose their jobs the colleges start Atchison youths on careers of glory. J. M. Challiss was accorded first honors in the State University oratorical contest last week. He belongs to the Champion family, being a son of Dr. Challiss, and a nephew of Colonel Luther Challiss—Kansas City Star.
Jim Challis, who won the local oratorical contest at the state university, is an Atchison young man. He is a son of Dr. W. L. Challiss, the administrator of the Martin estate. Young Challiss' subject is "Shylock and Justice." and his piece is a Shakespear rean study. Challiss is a witty fellow and has had a number of jokes accepted by Puck and Life and Judge. He is a graceful writer and is a big-yoiced six footer. He is going to bother the other contestants at the state meeting next month. Challiss graduates this spring. He is a member of Phi Gamma Delta fraternity and is a great athletic enthusiast. He is indeed, a perfect type of the college lad of the period and is the idol of the school he represents.—Will White in K. C. Journal.

Died.
The University lost a firm and true friend last Tuesday by the death of Judge E. P. West. Judge West was born in 1820 in the state of Kaukury. Admitted to the bar at the age of 21. He practiced his profession until about 1875 at which time he was residing at Kansas City.
About eight years ago he became connected with the University, a position he has held uninterruptedly until the time of his death. He has labored patiently and faithfully in the geological department of the University and has left an imperishable movement in his work for the institution. For more than seven years he has been constantly at work in the collection and preparation of fossils of our state, making more than any other man, the collection of our University one of which the institution and state may well be proud.
Kansas' Birthday.
All hall! Kansas this day was born;
adged and armed, like fair
Miggy's Fury.
Of Jove, to wing her flight in air,
And chant *Ad asstra* to the morn;
But in the dark and sullen stream
Of civil strife: like one without
A f-iend or home; and tossed about
B
Forlorn, and mocked by the rude shout Of ruffian bands in demon's form.
Sweet Kansas of the fragrant plain:
Thy natal hour shall mourn a dav
Wreathed in flowery love; whose bright ray
slippes.
Shall gild the world, and whose sweet lay
Shall charm like some *Aeolian* strain.
—Joel Moody.
No.18.
The Contest.
Last Friday evening was the momentous occasion when the orator of K. S. U. was to be chosen and a vast throng filled the commodious chapel.
President O'Leary being absent Mr. W. M. Curry, vice-president of the association presided with the dignity and composure of an old campaign veteran.
The first thing on the program was an instrumental piece by Profs. Dan Crew and Duncan Collins. After the invocation by Dr. Marvin, ex-chancellor, Mr. Frank A. Lutz delivered a well, prepared oration and surprised many who had voted him out of the race.
Mr. R. D. Brown again delivered his oration of last years contest and by his characteristic delivery gave his adherents to hope that in the ultimate decision he would prove the victor.
The Indian Glee club, a septet of voices, was the next thing on the program. The deep and clear bass voices with a melody of tenor somewhere, gave an impression of wild wierd fantastic of woodland voices sounding through the solemn forests. The club was given a hearty encore, and responded with a jolly vjol歌 song. "Rock Chalk, Jay Hawk K, U," which brought down the house.
Mr. Riddle the next orator had a good oration but was overtrained and gesticulated too much. One wondered he didn't grow weary, W. W. Brown who followed him was the reverse. His oration was imperfectly learned and he evidently hadn't been trained at all.
The Glee club was next on the program and soon the classic strains of "Tom, Tom the piper's son, stole a pig," were wafting a sense of rest over the vast audience. They responded to an encore and the audience was wearied by a sort of "ba, ba, black sheep, have you any wool!" when they were expecting a rousing, jolly, college song bubbling over with fun.
The next orator on the program was J. M. Challis His voice had a quaver in it, but said quaver immediately took a back seat up on the rostrum and before he had finished his first sentence one felt that he was the winner. With magnificent crotch he plead the cause of Shylock and of Justice, and convinced you ere you were aware that Shylock was not so black as he is painted.
Mr. E. F. Robinson gave a good oration and is evidently possessed of a good voice. The sameness of tone was the only feature that detracted from his delivery.
While the judges were out making up the averages and deciding who was winner, Dan Crew gave one of his famous songs and was compelled to respond with another. The Glee Club was called but couldn't come so the seven little Indian boys had to take up the burden and answer the crowd. They did so and did it well. President Curry soon came in and announced that the judges had awarded second place to Mr. R. D. Brown and first place to Mr. J. M. Challiss and then pandemonium broke loose. The contest was over and all were glad and satisfied. We predict that K. S. U. will be near the top of the heap in the state contest.

Kick, cullies, kick.

We heard a sermon once on "Where is Eternity?" If that preacher will come in contact with the end of a mule his question will be answered.
J. M. CEALLIS, our orator.
Poker chips are not in demand. Our second hand dealers purchased ten sets this last week at a very nominal figure.
A whist tournament would be about the proper thing just now and would be quite in harmony with the very sedate feelings of the boys.
EXAMINATIONS. A superfluity which K. S. U. is gradually doing away with. The Courier is glad to note that many of the professors accepted the class grades of their pupils when above a certain average.
THERE has been some criticism regarding the write up of the contest in last week's Courier. We are sorry that the thing didn't go off exactly as we had intended and to better the report we publish another one in this issue.
The political flesh pot has taken the place of the simmering soup defaculate and now rages most furiously. The symptoms are that Excelsior will extract a large juicy bone and that the half cooked more sel of second delegate will be rendered more palatable by an overwhelming dose of fiery Mustard.
The base ball boys should begin to practice immediately. Every day that is suitable should be put to use in tossing the ball or in practicing batting. We would also like to see the K. S. U. base ball suits appear soon. Red is the proper color.
We can point with pride to the tone of Mr. Challisa' oration. He has not followed the old worn out sterotyped line of thought but has drawn his ideas from the literary field. It is something new and we know it will be a relief from the tiresome historical rehash of economic questions or politics. "Shylock and Justice" will stand on its literary worth.
Let everybody go to Topeka to the contest. Wear your crimson with J. M. Challis printed on it in big loud type. Practice up on the yell and see on what tone you can make the most noise and above all buy your tickets early or you are liable to get left. We must go in force and aid our "Jim" to win. A crowd gives confidence to an orator as well as to a base ball or foot ball team.
THE moot senate is still being discussed by the students but discussing is all that is being done. The idea is a good one if it can be carried out. It is a fact that the average student needs some incentive to study the national issues. There is a deplorable ignorance of the political doings of the day. The average student believing that he can read up on those questions after he leaves school thinks that his collegiate studies are of far more importance than a full understanding of the late Chillian controversy. A moot senate would make a change in the attitude of the student. He would be brought into
closer communion with the outside world and would learn some history at firsthand. Let us have a moot senate with special reference to Farmers Alliance.
THERE was a considerable excitement in Lawrence this week. Three young men of the F. F. K. were indefinitely suspended; two ditto suspended till May, and twelve danced on the chancellor's carpet. A keen taste for the succulent brew of the jack pot, a hankering for the hectic glow of the flush and an appetite for the monster that annually destroys the youth of our land caused the disturbance. It is needless to say that the evil of cards and liquor has been effectually stamped out in the state university. They don't even play authors there now, and the sight of a long necked cat-sup bottle fills them with a feeling of vague unrest. The music of the mandolin is muffled, the voice of the kazoo is hushed and the tin horn is silent. Tennessee street is damp with briny tears; the long bars of the midnight lamp fall uncurtained in the trees, where but last night a choked and stealthy ray oozed out from a scene of revelry; the cadent gallop of the industrious "pony" chases its own echoes in the deserted thoroughfare. The Great American Bounce is king.—K. C. Journal.
Why not have a tug of war? It is no means in accord with K. U.'s reputation as Kansas' foremost representative in athletics of all kinds to leave to some other college the prestige of introducing this deservedly popular feature of eastern intercollegiate athletics. The present season of inconstant and ever variable weather would not in any way interfere with practice for this indoor sport. We have the material for a team which can easily capture and retain the championship of the state. The only thing necessary is for some one with the necessary grit and determination to work up the matter.
This issue relieves the present staff from the pleasant task of editing the Courier. We extend our cordial sympathies to the incumbent and, letting a goodly amount of advice pass by which we would gladly give and which he would probably put up on a shelf for future reference and then forget, congratulating ourselves upon our release; we make our little bow and exit.
JAN. 29th is gala day in the common schools of Kansas. On that day the school children celebrate the state's 31st birthday. Kansas has hardly attained to the dignity of manhood, but the state has the strength and vigor of a giant in the prime of life. The custom of observing the birthday of the state is a good one. Kansas passed through a history unparalleled in the history of nations. For eleven long years her soil was the scene of bitter civil war and it is fitting that the children of the state should know what price was paid for our prosperous commonwealth.

The Philadelphia Academy of Sciences will send an expedition as soon as summer opens to bring home Lieutenant Peary and his little band from the northwest coast of Greenland, where they have wintered. Professor Heilprin, who commanded the north Greenland expedition last year, will have charge of the relief party. It seems strange in this age of the world that there is a spot on the globe from which civilized man can receive no message for eight months in the year, and all who read how the Kite left the lieutenant in the awful arctic solitudes with his wife and his broken leg last summer, must often feel anxious about his fate. Early in February Peary will begin to catch glimpses of returning daylight in the midst of his terrible northern night, if he is yet alive.
May Refuse to Testify
May Refuse to Testify.
The right of a witness in a law case to refuse to give evidence where it would criminate himself was deemed important enough to be guaranteed by the constitution of the United States, consequently the declaration of such right was incorporated in the fifth amendment to that instrument. By a late decision of the United States supreme court we are henceforth to interpret the amendment in its broadest sense. In 1890 Charles Counselman, a grain shipper in the department of the United States district court for northern Illinois, was before the interstate commerce commission as a witness in a case where violation had been charged of the tariff rates agreed on between certain railroads.
Counselman was asked whether he had ever received from a railroad any rebates, drawbacks or lowered rates from certain railroads. He refused to answer the question on the ground that it would criminate himself. This of course was practically an answer to the court's question, but it was not one that would do in law, and Counselman was dealt with for contempt of court. He appealed the case to the United States supreme court and won, under the fifth amendment. But the decision will involve the interstate commission in no end of trouble, for they declare it will now be practically impossible to get at the truth as to whether one railroad is secretly cutting established rates and giving its shippers a private advantage over other lines in the convention. What will be done about it is hard to see, since the railroads declare by way of an aside that they cannot get on without such lowering of rates on the fly, they just can't.

Historical Seminary.
Hon. Joel Moody addressed the Seminary last Friday afternoon on "The First Principles of Money." He introduced his subject by taking issue with Walker's definition of money, "money is a medium of exchange, a means not an end." A medium is that thing through or by which a thing passes—money is not a medium. Money is the 'measure of all commercial things, value springs from those inherent qualities in man that cause him to desire certain things more than others, the commercial value of anything is alone, connected with man. Eliminate man and von eliminate value.
Neither can anything have value without having utility. Price is simply the measure of value, the value is money. Value, a relative term, must be measured by something concrete. All things must be measured by a concrete unit, as extension, capacity, weight, value. It is necessary that a standard shall be fixed by law. Money was invented by man to avoid barter. By the invention of money commerce has become a science. Money must have existed before the civil state. It brought the state into existence. Even the most barbarous tribes have something that stands for money.
But money must have certain requisites. It must serve as a measure of value and have value in itself. Money must possess lasting qualities. "True money lives,—false money dies."—All the metals have been used as money, but simple lessons in metallurgy have led to the adoption of gold and silver. By its vast use to man, money has obtained its value. Gold and silver come to be used by natural choice.
Money must also possess malleability, divisibility and weight; gold does not have to be comed before it can be called money. Some claim that metal is not a necessary element in a scientific definition of money, that a fiat law can create money. The government can no more create money than it can value, gravity or extension. Civil law cannot create money. If it could a nation could maintain itself without taxation. It would make the legislative will the measure of all values. If law cannot create value and if what it creates has no value, it will not last. It is not the* fiat law, nor the stamp of the mint, nor the inscription "In God We Trust" that gives money value.
Mr. Moody was compelled to leave the remainder of his paper to some future time, owing to a short session of the seminary.
"I am wedded to art," said Parley. "Well." said Criticus, gazing at Parley's picture, "I'd get a divorce if I were you She has deserted you"—Brooklyn Life.

A Modern Athenian's Dilemma.
A Modern Athenian's Dilemma.
"Did I ever tell you," said Thalia to a reporter, "my awful experience the only time I was ever honored by a call from the elder Salvini? My sister had been shown many kindnesses by him while in Italy, and had begged him to call on us when he came to America. It was the maid's afternoon out. I was alone in the flat with Jack, my irrepressible ten-year-old nephew. An accrued impulse whispered to me that a hot bath was a good remedy for headache.
"I was in my bath wrap, my dripping hair hanging about me, when the bell rang. Oh, horror! The name on the card which Jack poked under the door was Tomaso Salvinil. I knew ne scarcely understood a word of English. 'Jack.' I gasped, "say after me till you get it," "Madame D. est sortie," and then go in and fire it off at him. He'll know what it is if you don't. He'll go away!" So said, so done. The little scamp caught the words quickly and repeated them glibly.
"Fancy my anguish when Signor Sativini began to question, to regret, to deprecate in a flood of swift French, Jack gazing in widemouthed terror, I on the verge of catalepsy behind the bathroom door. Jack bore it as long as he could, and then his sky piercing accents rose upon the air. 'I don't know what you're driving at!' wailed he. 'All (know is that she told me to say she was sortic, and I've said it.' Don't ask me the rest, I collapsed in the bathtim and tore my hair and wept."—Boston Commonwealth.
Air Strata Over Cities.
The popular idea that the higher one gets in the city air the purer the atmosphere becomes, has been disproved by evidence given before a select committee on house of commons ventilation in London. It is found that the air of cities like London, where soft coal is burned, is purest at thirty or forty feet from the ground. Lower than that the dust is encountered and higher the smoke from the chimneys.
These conclusions were arrived at from experiments with frames of wood covered with blanketing material put at different elevations—one on top of the clock tower at Westminster, another on the highest point of the roof and others at various heights down to the courtyard. After five hours' exposure there were found to be more smuts at high elevations than at low, but on the level of the courtyard there were considerable quantities of dust.
The inference from these experiments is that the common notion that the highest stories of the tallest blocks of flats are desirable for their salubriity is apt to be a mistaken one, and that beyond forty feet nothing is gained by going higher unless a very great height—some say 400 or 500 feet—is reached. —Louisville Courier-Journal.
Is Iron Rust a Cause of Fire?
When oxide of iron is placed in contact with timber excluded from the atmosphere, and aided by a slightly increased temperature, the oxide will part with its oxygen, and is converted into very finely divided particles of metallic iron having such an affinity for oxygen that, when afterward exposed to the action of the atmosphere from any cause, oxygen is so rapidly absorbed that these particles become suddenly red hot, and if in sufficient quantity will produce a temperature far beyond the ignition point of dry timber.
Wherever iron pipes are employed for the circulation of any heated medium, whether hot water, hot air or steam, and the pipes are allowed to become rusty, in close contact with timber, it is only necessary to suppose that under these circumstances the particles of metallic iron be exposed to the action of the atmosphere—and this may occur from the mere expansion or contraction of the pipes—in order to account for many of the fires which periodically take place at the commencement of the winter.—Iron.
It is not generally known perhaps that the most terrific storms a ship can en counter are met upon our own south Atlantic coast in the region off Cape Hatteras. The storms our compact American built coasting steamers weather there would break in two one of the long, cigar shaped vessels of the British steamer type. It could not stand the awful seas. For a stormy weather ship therefore, the American builder has developed a type superior to those fashioned on the Clyde.

But who wants a "tolerably" good egg? And there is a heap of trouble with a "tolerably" good lamp. There is one lamp good without the tolerable—THE ROCHESTER SIMPLE, BEAUTIFUL, Good—these words mean much but to see more clearly the lamp presses with more orbicular. All must tough and seamless, and made in three pieces only, it is ABSOLUTELY SAFE and UNBREAKABLE. Like Aladdin's old, it is indeed a "wonderful lamp," for its marvelous light is purer and brighter than gas light, softer than electric light and more cheerful than either.

When he gets the tables all in a row, with beautiful, clean-faced nonparallel figures lined up and averaged, it will come out something like this: "For a boy: Board, from $1.75 per week minimum to $3.50 maximum; room, from $4 a month minimum to $12 maximum; books, from $15 a year minimum to $50 maximum; railroad fare, from $10 to $25, tuition, from nothing at the State University to $40 maximum; clothes, from $30 to $175, according to the number of neckties, spotted vests, dented hats and stona shit, studs worn; girls and stones, from $3.89 to $500; total minimum $159 63; total maximum $1,037.59. Estimate for girls, from $200 to $5,000." The son of a certain retired state officer in Kansas got through his first year at the State University for $100. The next year he spent $200; the next year $265, and the last year $450. But he has a good library to show for it, besides a large and expensive collection of cabinet photos and a good job.

Historical Seminary.
The Seminary of Historical and political science convened Friday afternoon at 4 o'clock to discuss civil service reform. After calling the seminary to order Professor Blackmar made a few remarks about the reading of current literature by the students. He called attention to the chief events of the world's progress and emphasized the necessity for the students of history and economics to read the best and latest material of the library as well as to study scientific works. He recommended observation of the changes going on around us in the political and economic field. One of the most important subjects now before the people is that of "gerrymandering." Prof. Blackmar thus explained the origin and meaning of the word and gave some striking illustrations of the practice. As this is the time of redividing the states into legislative and congressional districts the opportunity for the practice is very wide.
At the close of the processor's remarks the regular program of the hour was begun. Mr. Truitt read a paper on the Development of the Spoils System. He contrasted the practice of Washington in the appointment of civil officers with that of the spoils system. Washington appointed according to merit, while under Jackson officers were distributed to party followers. Mr. Trutt gave the historical origin of the practice, and alluded briefly to its results.
Mr. Fullerton followed briefly on the Pendleton act. He read the act, gave an analysis of it, and then discussed it practically and the advantages of the system. Upon the whole it was considered a step in the right direction but should be more widely extended.
Mr. Cann followed with a paper on The Advantages of the Merit System. He pictured graphically the evils of the spoils system and showed how merit in office was the only true justice for a democratic or republican governmentd. Mr. Cann showed the process of appointments under the common system, offices were apportioned to party workers. After an interesting discussion the semiary adjourned to meet in one week.
The State Contest.
The state oratorical contest will be held this year at the Grand opera house at Topeka on the evening of February 12. Eight colleges and universities will be represented. It will be one of the largest gatherings of students ever assembled in the state, if not the largest. Last year the contest was held at Emporia, Baker taking first place, Emporia second and Washburn third. It is very difficult to name the first three men this year as all the contestants are strong and confident of victory. K. S. U. we think stands an excellent chance of winning first or second place.

From Africa.
Chancellor Snow has just received a letter from Wm. Harvey Brown, who is now in Africa and has been there for some time past. He is at work for the Smithsonian Institute collecting specimens for the natural history museum. The letter is dated October 24, of last year at Fort Salisbury, Mashonaland, Africa, and con ains some paragraphs of interest that are given below.
"The rainy season is now at hand and if I delay a month or so later a letter would not reach you until next April or or May. This season has been a successful one both as to saving the skins of wild animals, of which I have killed a large number and as to money returns.I did think of going to the Cape Colony to spend the rainy season, but I have decided to remain here as I cannot get the specimens away this season. I have built two houses, one for dwelling and one for storing specimens in and it is likely I shall spend the rainy season in comparative comfort as I have a good supply of reading matter and plenty of food. There has not been much time for study since I have been here and I think a few months of reading will be enjoyed.
It is my intention to spend several years here working for myself and collecting specimens. I hope to return to America one year from now with specimens, at least I shall be there in time for the world's fair. I should be happy to give all my time to scientific work here, but it is quite out of the question unless one has plenty of money at his disposal. One dollar goes as far in America as one sovereign here.
I have heard no news from Lawrence since the receipt of your letter of over a year ago.

The idea that the University student body is corrupt or that any large portion of it is should be dispelled. The University authorities have only recognized a growing element in the University which in Harvard, Yale and the older schools, has been left undisturbed until it became what is called, the "shiftless third." In doing this the authorities are only keeping in touch with the attitude of the state on all moral questisms. Old students and friends of the University must not get the impression that the University is getting corrupt, as the late measures, when judged by just measure, might indicate.

To the Editor of the COURTER:
To the Editor of the COURIER:
The article in a recent issue of your paper in reference to the late oratorical contest in the Southwest Kansas College, greatly wrongs the successful orator of that occasion, who is a most estimable young man, and in every respect worthy of the place he won.
Not only does the article wrong the orator, but it casts a very unjust reflection upon as honorable and competent body of judges as ever rendered decision in a contest. They were chosen by a committee of the faculty of the college, and are men who could not be influenced in their decisions by fear, favor or prejudice. There were differences of opinion as to the merits of the several oratars, as is the case in all such contests; but the school and the community are unanimous in support of the decision of the judges, and will stand by the orator. There is no division concerning the representative of this college in the next state contest. Please give place to this correction.
M. E. PHILLIPS.
Very respectfully,
WE HAVE A GYM.
Isn't it time we were looking after our foot ball interests for the coming year? The brilliant success of our team this year must not be eclipsed next by any oversight on our part. Several of the players of this years team will not be back next year and there is little time after the opening of the fall term to drill new men up to the desired standard. It is evident that to make our success assured something must be done at once. There are plenty of men in the University who would become active foot ball men if they had the proper encouragement and drill.
We would suggest that the foot ball management recall the names of all students interested in foot ball who who will be here at the opening of the fall term. Arrange hours for drill in the gymnasium so that each man may drill at least one hour per day. As an inducement to take part in the drill let no charges be made for the use of the gymnasium. The gymnasium as it has sank into a state of innocuous desuetude as far as good to the student body is concerned. By this means interest in the gymnasium will be kept up and we will have a large number of men with trained and hardened muscles to form a team K. S. U. will then again drag after her triumphal chariot the captive teams of four states.

You'd better get a lease on the dead cold moon and move off this earth. My dear boy, do post up a little bit and try to keep up with the times.
The faculty at Harvard have a peculiar way of burdening down the students with rules such as"The foot ball team shall not play in New York City;" "The base ball team shall play no professional team," but the K. S. U. faculty have another way of letting the boys know they are in it. "Two months canst thou play poker but at the end of the third thou shalt go home to thy parents." The action of the faculty though some think it too harsh and others think it a little tardy on the stage meets with the approbation of the majority of the students.
ORATORS.
It will be worth your while to spend Saturday evening listening to President Quayle.
An immense Crowd Filled the Chapel to Hear Our Talented Speakers.
A Gist of the Different Orations The Prospects for our Winning in the State Contest Exceedingly Good.
(Saturday Morning.)
Last night the University chapel was filled to more than overflowing by the friends, admirers and sup porters of the different orators. After the invocation by Dr. Mar vin and a selection by the orchestra Mr. Frank Lutz made his debut as asorator before a critical audience. Mr. Lutz had for his subject "The Individual's Ideal of Life and its Social Influence."
In substance he said: The progress of society is dependent upon the individual as the social fabric but an aggregate of individuals. To raise the standard of society we must acquire wealth, seek pleasure or renown. Wealth emancipates from labor and gives leisure for moral and higher aims and purposes. The habits which wealth places on man can never raise or elevate as is shown by the decline of the wealthy empires of the past. Whoever longs for the well being of humanity cannot feel that pleasure should be the ideal of life. It is the same with fame. It is nothing but a delusive phantom that allures men on to an imaginary world that seldom becomes a reality. Man's real worth is measured by his intellectual qualities. Through this medium alone can the individual and society be elevated.
Mr. R. D. Brown was the second speaker on the program. Mr. Brown is an experienced speaker and the audience awaited his first sentence with a hush of expectation. His style of oratory is of the solid argumentative type and showed a decided improvement over that of last year. His gestures were easy and flowing and all who had predicted first place for him felt confident that he was the winner, as he drew his oration to a close. His oration was the familiar one in the University, being entitled, "The Spirit of Dissent a Factor in Progress." The laws which govern the rise of states are hindered to the laws of nature. Progress requires the peaceful colabor of men in matters of government and agreement in social intercourse. Yet it does not require all peace nor all agreement. Every ideal conception, every unfulfilled ambition, every aspiration of the soul is a dissent from existing conditions. All nations have risen by revolutions, a spirit of dissent with existing arrangements. The end of the process is when all friction is diminished and right shall be its own sufficient advocate before the bar of an enlightened and conscientious humanity.
was Hall Riddle. His subject was "The Voice of the Middle Ages." His oration said in substance:
The next speaker on the program
Today mankind reaps the benefit of the two great achievements of the Renaissance—the discovery of the world and the discovery of man. It was Dante who initiated this movement of modern intellect.
His Divine Comedy closes the Middle Ages and preserves their spirits. It is the drama of the soul into which are concentrated God, the world and man; in it was the soul of the Middle Ages rendered forever visible. Freedom of thought, freedom of speech, freedom of expression had in Dante a new birth; by him a fresh impulse was given to the natural movement of humanity in the onward progress of which we still participate.
Mr. W, W. Brown followed Mr. Riddle with an oration entitled "Christ or Napoleon."
He believed that most of the world's fighting has been unnecessary, a waste of energy. War is not a part of nature's plan of progress. It is the result of pride and selfishness, the folly of man. The French revolution is said to have been the beginning of popular government; but freedom is not found in reigns of terror. In the empire of Napoleon the arts of peace, the knowledge and culture whose nature it is to refine and chasten the human mind were devoted to the scenes of war with its attending hatred and glory. It was all selfishness. In our own country it was selfishness on the part of the south and pretenses on the part of the north that caused the civil war.
J. M. Challis was the fifth speaker on the program and was most cordially received. Mr. Challis is new to the rostrum and this was his first appearance before a K.S.U. audience. The subject of his oration was Shylock and Justice. Mr. Challis in his oration took the side of the despised race and, making Shylock the impersonation of the whole Jewish race showed the wrongs that had been heaped upon them.
"Although but a fiction the Jew has had his defamers and defenders. Here we see him pictured as the incarnation of wickedness, there as the injured party seeking redress; here as the insatiable Christian hater and there as a martyr to his religion and his God. Thus: fire famine, pestilence, murder and the sword were the lot of the Jew. Shylock was a Jew. There stands Shylock penniless, childless, friendless. He is stunned and dazed. The agony in that breast is none the less sharp because silently borne. A cry of anguish or pain from that bruised and bleeding soul would find no sympathetic ear. At one time he felt he was the defender of his race, the vindicator of his religion; the fabric falls, and he finds he is only the despised Mediaeval Jew, Life's hopes, aspirations and victories have given place to defeats, sorrows and disappointments. Before him he sees

Ernest Robinson the last speaker on the program had an oration entled "A Story of Conquest." It was well delivered and shows a strong future contestant.
The oration was different from the general type of college orations and well deserves the place gained for its oration in the contest.
The oration opens with a vivid description of the advent of the Spaniards in the new world and the reception given them by the Aztecs who welcomed them as Gods come to their deliverance. Thus did the grandeur of eastern civilization impress the primitive nations of the west. Sprung from different sources each had advanced without the other. Suddenly brought in contact almost without a struggle the Aztec recognizing his inferiority gave way before the glittering grandeurs of the Spanish cavalry. But this conquest has a philososhy. A government founded on despotism, where the individual is unrecognized cannot long move onward. Equality, industry and constitutional liberty have been the forces which have wrought the permanent advancement of the human race. The history of the Aztec Dynasty is ample proof of this fact. Its civilization, the grandest the new world had produced, fell before the avarice and power of the Spaniard. New Spain, the pride and hope of a declining monarchy was in turn swept away before the uprising of the people. And today Spain broken and despairing reaps the harvest of her own pernicious system of conquest and colonization. But mark the contrast between these Spanish couquerors and those sturdy Anglosaxons who peopled the northern shores of this great continent. Our worthy pilgrim fathers were not impelled by avarice, and the pretext of proselytism. The desire for freedom, for religious and political liberty alone induced them to beard the hardships of a wintry sea, and on the principles of equality and constitutional liberty has
Content: Content with what? Content that he is a pauper, content that his enemy should triumph, content that his child should turn against him? Content that he should renounce the religion of his fathers? No. There is no content. And as long as the scales of justice are weighted down by gold; as long as perjured juries and prejudiced judges doom the wronged and oppressed to death; as long as wrong is triumphant and right is crushed by power as cruel and relentless as the grave; there can be, and by all the prayers and tears of down-trodden humanity, there shall be no content."
The man crushed, the father childless, moves not the mercy loving Portia. She mockingly inquires "Art thou contented, Jew?" He with his life depending on the answer replies: "I am content."
arisen. A nation which today leads the advancing civilizations of the world. And Mexico at length feeling the influence of American independence, is today a free republic Transmitted thence to the southern half of the western hemisphere the spirit of freedom burst the bonds of tyranny and despotism and today the name of Monarch is unknown on the American continent.
The Glee Club shows a marked improvement over last year and its new songs were enthusiastically received by the students. The Indian band also furnished some fine music. We all know that Dan Crew sang, for what would a contest be unless Dan was there to sing. Mr. Duncan Collins, the famed mandolin player also furnished some fine selections.

Do you smoke? If you do, why not at待 before, have a little chat about cigars, cigarettes and smokers. But I don't advise you to praise the brand you are just now smoking. It is too dark it snuggles of yesterday's damp atmosphere troussez are black as a traitor's soul.
The treasures of Hawaii, formerly the exclusive enjoyment of the opulent classes, are now within the reach of almost every one, and when crops are short in Cuba, Mexico, Virginia and the Carolinas supply the deficiency.
There are cigars of many different titles, most of them highly sounding, like the Spanish hidaligos by whom they were named. There are Cayados, Prenados, Trabucos, Londres, Regueros, Princessas Caballeros, Crevas, Principes de Galles, Flor Finos, Espartieres, Comercantes, Cazadores, Medias, Regalías, Simples, Regulas de la Reina, Jenny Lind, Adelina Patti, Divina Sarah. Imperiales, Imperadores, Conchas, Bolivar Libertadores, Conquistadores, etc.
It is for the "comsoissieurs" to exercise their preferences and to contend for the very best. There are degrees in tobacco as in wine, and the flavana brand has its pedigree as has Chateau Yquem and Chambertin.
The "Figaro" or the "Henry Clay" has each its peculiar aroma. In the kingdom of tobacco as in the empire of love, among cigars as among women, there is always the eternal and inevitable rivalry between the blond and the brunette, the dark and the light, the strong and the mild; but in the smoking world, as elsewhere, if the brunettes are generally strong the blonds are not always mild.
HOW SOME MEN SMORE.
A true smoker must never select a moist cigar, but at the same time he must not take a too dry one. As the Latin philoopher said, "In medio tutis smus ibs."
The supreme nobility of the smoker depends also in great measure upon the manner in which he lights his cigar. To verify its peculiar aroma one has first to draw the smoke through the nose. To recognize a regular smoker is an easy task—his lips always betray him. The man who resolutely puts his cigar deeply in his mouth is a firm, decided man of action, quick in movement, perhaps brusque, but generally good hearted.
The youngster who cuts the end of the cigar with the tooth is rather insouciant. careless of future dental sufferings. The baldheaded young man who calls for a pennkite to cut the end of the cigar is a man judicious in council, methodical in his ways and well balanced.
The one who places his cigar in an amber holder is recherech in his tastes and stylish in his habits. The man who holds it with a silver clasp is a dude. The man fond of light shaded cigars is fond of the ballet, light performances. Offenbach music, comic opera and shepherdesses in water colors. He is also probably fond of fishing and boating, is generally romantic and is considered as a passionate waltzer.
LIGHT AND DARK SMOKERS.
The one who prefers dark shaded cigars may be supposed a daring and fortunate gambler, an anaconda and successful lover, rather fond of Leopold Robert and Regnant's vivid pictures and Verdi's music; he is partial to racing and wild hunting.
The man who buys his cigars without examination and only because they are tied in packages with ribbons perfumed by the Cuban peddler's wife is of confiding disposition, presumably an obedient husband and a credulous stockholder. The one who smokes his cigar almost to the end is by all means a persevering character, a faithful friend and a constant lover; the one who throws it away when only half smoking is blase.
The man who allows it to extinguish itself often and lights it again is absent-minded, thoughtful but indulgent, a good fellow, inclined to tolerance, taking men for what they are, women for what they are not: taking times as they come, he lets the stream of life flow gently by.
The "connoisseur" must be very careful when cigars show little yellow spots
if spots appear in consequence of an
equal drying, the cigar is borneal. 1.

In any case, the cigar is not the true smoker's host equipment it is a kind of companion between the cigarettes of the "coquette" and the short pipe of the cynical philosopher.—New York Discorder
How a Household Should Be Regulated.
At a recent meeting ofSenior at which the subject of "Husbands" was discussed, Mrs. Herrick attributed the failure of marital happiness to girls being taught to expect too much hardness from marriage, and that love takes only essential by romances, poetry, songs and tradition. But, while not belittling love, she claimed that respect based upon superior qualities; esteem for those attributes that would make the wife desire the husband as a friend if she could not have him for a husband; common sense, which teaches her that a faulty woman need not expect a perfect husband, and great patience—"that passion of noble souls"—are quite as essential elements in the domestic bliss.
She cautioned the wife against holding up her soul to her husband always with a thorn in it. Men cannot understand intangible griefs and unrest. She also said that one of the first lessons a wife has to learn is that her husband has a right to his own individuality, and that, while she can inspire him to greater achievement in a work for which he has a bias, she cannot, as she may fondly dream, mold his character, and she wouldn't respect him if she could.
Girls should be taught that marriage is not the gateway of heaven, and that even at this Eden the angel stands with the flaming sword to turn back souls that seek an earthly paradise. Women should know their lovers so well that marriage can bring no great disappointments. Marriage is not a match made in heaven, but an earthly union founded on mutual respect, over which the love that made the bond possible sheds a tender influence.—New York Sun.
An Incident of Travel.
Not long ago, when one of the great through western trains left New York city, a man and a woman, aged about eighty, got on the cars. They were accompanied by a younger man, who appeared to be their son, who got their tickets to some place in Nebraska, put them on the cars and left them. Shortly after passing Poughkeepsie the old lady was taken ill. This drew around them sympathizers, and upon inquiry it was found that they had but a very indiscrete idea of the journey before them, and that they had only a dollar and some cents in money between them.
The passengers raised a collection which furnished them with a berth in one of the sleeping cars to Chicago and seven dollars in money. It was evident from their actions that neither of them had ever seen a drawing room or sleeping car before, and the luxury and comfort was something entirely outside of their experience. They went on, the picture of content, and it is to be hoped reached their destination in safety.—Poughkeepsie Eagle.
A Wonderful Dakota Well.
The reports from the artesian well at Huron, N. D., show that it is the most wonderful well known to exist. The water spouts up to a distance of about 100 feet, and the amount that flows from the well is tremendous, being estimated at from 8,000 to 10,000 gallons a minute. Even at the lowest figures enough water is ejected to furnish every man, woman and child in the state of North Dakota with at least four gallons of water every four hours.
As to the pressure, that has not yet been fully ascertained, but from tests already made it is known to be considerably more than 200 pounds to the square inch. With a fair test it is likely to reach 228 pounds. The pressure has steadily increased in the last three days, and may exceed the above figures.—Cor. Rochester Post-Express.
Small girl on showing younger brothers "Pilgrim's Progress" comes to a picture of Faithful at the stake, and, in the corner, chariot and horses are depicted. The little ones express their anxiety as to Faithful and the fate awaiting him Small girl replies, "Oh, he's all right, they've sent a fly for him."—London Truth

"SEEING IS BELIEVING."
Some lamps are TOLERABLY good.
But who wants a "tolerably" good egg? And there is a heap of trouble with a "tolerably" good lamp. There is one lamp good without the tolerable—THE ROCHESTER SIMPLE, BEAUTIFUL, Good—those words mean much, but you see THE ROCHESTER will impress the truth more forcefully. All metal, tough and seamless, and made in three pieces only, it is ABSOLUTELY BASE and UN-BREAKABLE. "Like Aladdin's of old, it is indeed a 'wonderful lamp,' for its mar
