Show your loyalty and college spirit and attend the base ball game between the crimson and orange at Baldwin tomorrow. The Ladies Quartette sang well last Friday evening at the contest. They were applauded perhaps more than any of the orators. Prof. Sayre gave a very interesting talk before the Unity club last Wednesday evening, his subject being "Intellect in the Kitchen." There is a secret organization in school that has no pin, no colors,no pass word, no grip, no constitution, no bylaws, no rules and no secrets. The formal challenge to the faculty for a game of base ball has been sent by the seniors, and a game will be played in the near future. Before the sun sets twice more another game and an interesting one will have been played between Baker and K; U. Every one should go on the excursion which leaves at 10.20 and yell Rock Chalk for the crimson. The Science club has a very interesting program posted for this evening at Snow hall. Prof. Miller will lecture on "Sun Spots" and will illustrate with the aid of the sterioptican lantern. A cordial invitation is extended to all to be present, LAWRENCE, KANSAS, MAY 6, 1892 Victory for the Crimson. Our ball nine played their first game last Saturday, of the season, with Washburn, and it is to be hoped that their easy victory over the visiting nine will at least not place a damper upon their practicing. They played in their new suits and looked striking in them. The game did not begin until nearly 4 o'clock. Washburn went to bat, but the first three men died on first. K. U. then followed and a two bagger by Kinsey, a safe hit by Hoag brought the two men on bases. Piatt then struck a good fly which brouget Hoag home and a wild throw by Washburn's right fielder brought two men in. The second inning resulted in three outs for both sides and nothing more. The third resulted in nine tallies being scored by K. U., the crack playing being done by Kinsey, Smith and Piatt, Kinsey knocking a two bagger and Piatt striking the ball over the fence and making a home run. The next three innings resulted in a score of one for K. U. The seventh inning again resulted in favor of the home team and against the visitors. Neither score during the next inning and the ninth and final one K. U. did not go to bat. The game was not very interesting, it being too one-sided. Neither teams put up a good game. Washburn evidently could not play and K. U. did not have to. Kinsey did the star playing making three two baggers and one safe hit. Sherman pitched a fair game and Kelsey did excellently behind the bat. It was no trouble at all for the boys to hit the ball. Washburn made six errors and the boys in crimson 5; of the latter Sherman made two and Simmons, Kelsey and Dobson each one. The boys need a good deal of hard practice before they tackle a strong club and their first game with Baker tomorrow will be watched with a good deal of interest. One thousand dollars is the actual cost of last Monday's sport. Here are the figures. Expense of running the University one day $300, number of students in the struggle 400, cost of supporting the average student per day, one dollar which would make a total of $400 loss sinch none of them really attended any classes. Value of the clothing ruined during the fight $200 and over which makes a grand total of nearly $1,000 that two flags cost the state and students.

May Day at K. U. Monday way a gala day for the freshmen and juniors. Last year the present senior class indulged in this sport of planting a May pole, but unfortunately both pole and flag were burned. This year the juniors and freshmen emulated the ancestral whims of a preceding class, but succeeded in maintaining themselves and flags against the other two classes. This is the story. The town clock had no more than registered the hour of twelve when according to the plan agreed on the freshies and juniors began to assemble upon the campus. Soon there were many students gathered upon the grounds and operations were begun. By 3 o'clock a hole five feet deep had been dug,an iron pipe five inches in diameter and twenty feet in height planted in a bed of rock. Placed within this hollow pipe was a secondary one which reached thirty feet from the earth and anchored to its top were the colors of both classes. All seemed working to perfection, not an enemy made his appearance. But this was not to last. Just at day break, when most of the boys were asleep on the front steps of the University seven sophs stealthily crawled up to the flag pole and just as one of them had almost reached the top, all were discovered and promptly taken care of. This was only the skirnish, however, before the battle, and the few crackers and little cheese which the guards breakfasted upon were not, seemingly, conducive to the necessary strength to overpower a Champlain or a Frederick. By 8 o'clock the students and professors began to arrive at their daily place of toil. Some saluted the flags, and all were almost compelled to do so by the howling mob of freshmen and juniors, but others would not. The storm clouds were gathering. The freshmen and juniors began to collect about the May pole by dozens; the sophs and a few of the noble seniors bunched themselves and attached the wily freshman and scheming junior, time and again but were always repulsed after a hard struggle. Recitations were not thought about, only by a very few at least. Crowds lined the University steps, and every window on the east side of the building was full of anxious spectators. Even some of the professors were exercised and excited as the struggle waxed warm and the class yells became frequent. Many of the boys had the greater part of their clothing torn in shreds, but this mattered not, they fought on and continued fighting until 1 o'clock when, according to a bulletin posted during the morning by the freshmen and juniors, hostilities were to cease unless the flags had been torn down before. So at 1 o'clock, after a hard fought struggle of four consecutive hours during which time it was simply impossible for the enemy to succeed in their project, whether it be by the tactics of snake throwing, hydrogin di-sulphide liquid or even fire brands. As soon as the flags were taken down another snuffle ensued and as a result a part of the junior flag was lost to the enemy but the freshman flag was taken intact to a place of safety. It was not until 2 o'clock that the boys dispersed to their homes; -one to rub balm upon a broken shin and others to mourn the loss of a spring suit or hat but all to rejoice if freshmen and juniors over their victory. Webster-Spencer. On the 27th of April there occurred in this city the marriage of two most popular young people, Mr. John E. Spencer and Miss May Webster. Miss Webster was for several years a student of the University and a member of the Kappa Alpha Theta traternity. Mr. Spencer, although he never attended the University, yet he has always been counted as one of the "University crowd" and has many warm friends among the students. The Congregational church was beautifully decorated with flowers for the occasion by the Thetas, and the wedding was the society event of the season. Three hundred and fifty guests were at the church and about two hundred at the reception which followed at the Webster residence. The happy couple left on the morning train for their future home in Kansas City where Mr. Spencer is engaged in a large printing and book binding establishment. A few nights ago a popular University young man went to see a young lady who lives in the outskirts of town. That night there was a band of gypsies camped near, and when the young man heard of it he was so frightened that he came in on the last street car rather than walk, and left the young lady at home alone. It will be a good game tomorrow at Baldwin. No one can afford to miss it and especially when the crimson has such a chance of winning. Get ye ready and go.

A very delightful inter-frat hop was given last Friday evening by Dobson and Thresher. The chancellor will give a reception to the seniors and members of the faculty on the 12th of May. Will Reed of '88 and of the law firm of Reed and Reed Kansas City Kan., was married last week to a young lady in Ohio. Capt.

Miss Bowman had a good cause to use the buggy whip upon a few of the freshmen Monday and she took advantage of it. Challiss left for Minneapolis last Wednesday to attend the inter-state oratorial contest. He is the second delegate from Kansas. Miss Watson sprained her ankle quite seriously Wednesday. She will probably be detained from her work at the University for the next three weeks on account of the injury. Kinsey was quite seriously but accidentally hurt last Friday while playing ball. This, however, did not keep him from playing ball with Washburn on Saturday. Ringer, Douglas and Roberts went sailing last Saturday in the sail boat and received a good ducking for their trouble.

Notice those 10c Canes at Smith's News Depot. The innovation of the year was the attendance of every member of the Advanced Composition class at at church last Sunday. This does not indicate a religious revival, however. They had to go to report the sermon. It is reported that a Kansas man is engaged in the arduous task of writing a life of Shakespeare. It is certainly strange that so much can be said and written about a man of whom we know so little. But as he was "myriad minded" there will probably be a myriad lives of him written. ATHLETICS are receiving more attention in the college world this year than ever before. All of our exchanges are full of accounts of ball games, boat races and field day contests. Indeed a number of the smaller colleges, especially in this state, have their first field day contests this spring. LAWRENCE people are to be again disappointed. It is announced, and this time authoritatively, that the greatest orator on the American stage, Dr. Gunsaulus, cannot possibly fulfill his engagement here, on account of his enfeebled health. What attraction has been substituted on the course, has not yet been announced. INASMUCH as base ball excursions are rapidly approaching, the demand for a University button becomes the more urgent. If we are to have such an emblem at all, let us adopt it at once. That it would be neat and appropriate is beyond a question. The suggestion is made that a mass meeting of the students be called to consider its adoption. WITHIN the past week several very important books bearing upon the civil war, have been added to the library, notably, A Life of Abraham Lincoln, in ten volumes, by his two private secretaries, J. G. Nicholay and John Hay, of which a number of papers were published last year in the Century; also a three volume Autobiography of Secretry Seward, and in addition, Gov. Robinson's valuable history of The Kansas Conflict. DESPIITE the "late unpleasantness" in regard to the base ball management, the first game in the Triangular League series has been played and won by the State University. The signal victory of Saturday shows the superiority of our team and predicts a victory over Baker tomorrow. Although the University has probably a stronger ball club than any college in the state, yet that should not suffice. Our team does very well for its class, but the standard should be raised. We should have the best amateur club not only in the state, but in all the west, and the manager's honest endeavor to accomplish this end, should not be hindered by partisanship and by petty jealousies. The spring contest, as is gener ally known, was not a glittering success. The attendance was exceedingly small and the orations rather mediocre. SPRING CONTEST. There are several reasons which account for the lack of interest in this contest. In the first place the contest is held so late in the year that the students are interested in everything else except oratory; then the prize offered is such a paltry one that but few men care to work for it, and those few who do take the opportunity to speak,do so in an indifferent manner. As has been very pertinently,suggested if the spring contest is to be made a success, no admission should be charged and a prize of at least thirty five dollars should be offered. As the oratorical association has a yearly surplus in its treasury the prize could easily be paid and a good contest assured. The COURIER favors a spring contest most assuredly, but it affirms that such a contest will never prove a success until a worthy prize is offered. MUSIC HALL, formerly the old Methodist church, is being most commodiously fitted out and will soon be ready for use. Hereafter North College is to be devoted entirely to the law and the art school, while the school of music will be transferred to music Hall. This will certainly be of great advantage in many ways. The instruction in piano-force and vocal music of necessity disturbs other classes, and the need for a separate music building has been felt for some time. The location of Music Hall so near the center of the city will be very convenient for the music students, as there are but few of them who are taking regular collegiate work, and will in all probability greatly increase the number of music students. The recent gift of a three years' lease on Music Hall by Mr J.B. Watkins is most generous, and is certainly appreciated by the University. SINCE our field day this year promises to be on a larger scale and of more interest than ever before, some attention should be given to our records. We have been very careless in this regard in the past, and at present it is extremely doubtful if any of the Kansas University's records will be admitted by other colleges. Some very enviable records have been, and can be made by our athletes, which should entitle them to a high standing among amateurs, but on account of the incorrectness of some of them, none can be accepted. If we are to improve, and if we expect to have any standing whatever among other colleges we must certainly regard the correctness of our records. Field day occurs on the 28th of this month and every athlete who intends to enter the contest should now be in daily training. Correctness, as to our records, is certainly of importance, but that which is of manifold more importance is the ability to make a record worthy of filing. We hope to have a field day of unusual interest, but systematic training will alone make it a success. The New York World, hereafter, will devote a column each week to specimens of college verse clipped from college papers. The World certainly knows how to increase its circulation. CHANCELLOR CANFIELD has instituted a decided innovation in the classification of students in the University of Nebraska. The time honored names freshman, sophomore, junior and senior, have been abolished, and in the future no distinction will be made in regard to classes,except in the freshman year which will be known as the "first year of residence." The number of hours per week taken by each student determines his standing. Moot Senate adjourned sine die the last of April, after an existence of about three months. Although short lived, the senate has been a great success and the members have gained no little experience in extemporaneous speaking. This year the organization was established late in the season, under rather unfavorable circumstances, more than anything else, as an experiment. Even under these circumstances the experiment has proved eminently successful, and we carnestly hope a moot senate will be organized early next year, when an interesting session will be assured. A LITTLE facetiousness on the part of our local editor, some time ago, is being considered in a serious light by some of our exchanges. The statement that Prof. Dunlap was intending to substitute such modern comedies as "Texas Steer," "A Hole in the Ground" and "Tin Soldier," in the place of the Shakespearean plays, has unfortunately been taken as a matter of fact, and we fear has placed the professor and the English department in a false light. Of course the statement is absurd, and we regret exceedingly that it has been misunderstood. An anonymous letter has been received by the Courier, explaining "an important question" in regard to Athletics. If the writer will come forward and discover his identity, his communication will receive due notice. The recent May-day episode proves conclusively that class spirit is not dead, but at present is exceedingly energetic in the University. The third concert in Music Hall by Prof. "Dome-Geza is postponed for two weeks "A GREAT DISGRACE." New ten cent extracts at Woodward's. They are good. Why not take a boat ride? Dolly Graeber will furnish you a boat. The Lawrence World of last Tuesday in two different paragraphs states that "a great disgrace" has befallen the State University by the recent display of class spirit on May day. Either the editor of the World was grossly misinformed or else he is a man of exceedingly small caliber. In the first place no "disgraceful fracus" occurred. Simply a time honored custom was observed which exists in most of the older colleges. The juniors and freshmen erected a May pole which the seniors and sophomores endeavored to take down. The contest between the classes was most certainly spirited and exciting,but all was done in the friendliest possible manner and without the least show of anger. True most of the classes were skipped that day, but the faculty of the University of Kansas is neither so narrow minded nor so foolish as to wish to interfere with this class day contest. Such an event occurs every year; the students and the professors alike expect it, and all enjoy it. But to say that the affair was disgraceful is certainly without the least foundation in fact. We believe the editor of the World would not have noticed the affair as he did, if he had received the little college training that he has from some other institution than the monohipic college a few miles south of us, where nothing ever occurs to break the funeral solemnity and where all is monotony, peace and quiet. When the editor of the World has lived a little longer in this progressive community, he will come to regard May day celebrations and other effusions of class spirit, as other sensible and broad-minded men do. Indeed the only disgrace of the May day celebration was the viriless and uncalled-for attack in the World. J. M. JONES Has been knocking prices right and left in the grocery line.

It was fully half past 8 o'clock when the presiding officer announced the invocation by Rev. A. T. Ennis, who offered up a very beautiful and appropriate prayer. Mr. J. H. Mustard, the first orator, was then announced, his subject being,"The Puritan Idea." Mr. Mustard had a well written oration, the thought was good and clear cut but his delivery seemed machine like. His bearing was easy, enunciation, clear but his seeming indifference and lack of warmth did not gain a grade higher than third, on delivery, Mr. O'Leary was the next orator and the most sanguine expectations of his friends were not disappointed. His subject was, The "Political Cowardice." O'Leary's voice is musical, or to suit the theme, oratoricol- He handled it well and from the first, gained as well as held the attention of his audience. However, he seemed to have stage fright and the fixed position in which he held himself, the tendency of a sameness in his tone of voice marred many good qualities. He made a good impression however, upon the audience. Mr. Palmer then spoke on "The Rennaissance in Italy." Mr. Palmer had been trained by the gentlemen who trained Mustard and the same criticism would apply to both with the exception perhaps that Palmer put more life in his subject but did not have as easy a bearing. The fourth orator of the evening and the winning man, Harold Barnes, then orated on the "Independence of Thought." Barnes, to use an unclassical phrase, is an "old stager" and from the first to the last word, kept up action. He put his whole soul in his speech and made every one, before he han finished, think as he thought. The only criticism which could be given is, that he spoke a little fast; but this was a relief and the audience welcomed it with pleasure. Mr. Ross, the fifth speaker, subject, "The Making of a Constitution," did not do as well as his friends had predicted. He has had a good training in the literary societies and this was not his first appearance neither before a University audience His subject was not one that would permit of oratorical flights and the number of dates in it might have been lessened to an advantage. His delivery too, seemed to be marred by a husky voice. His gestures and bearing were comparatively graceful. Adams, the last speaker,and who tied Barnes for first place,according to rank, spoke on "Humanitarian Tendency of the Age." Of all the speakers he was the most graceful,his gestures were perfect and every movement showed training. He had a great many beautiful figures and good thoughts in his oration but he lacked force and a voice to make both effective. The ladies and gentlemen quartette furnished good music during the evening. The following is the rank of the speakers: Barnes-first. O'Leary—second. Adams-third. Palmer—fourth. Mustard—fifth. The Vivisection Question. Ross—sixth. Vivisection has been necessary to gain our present knowledge of physiological functions and will be necessary to further progress. Countless human lives have been saved as a result of knowledge thus gained and it is to this sphere of science that countless others must depend for relief from pain and a longer lease on life. Let regardness of this importance, there are many to whom such modes of advancement are abhorent and who would not hesitate in their blindness to the welfare of medical science to brand vivisection with the stamp of barbarism. But the physicians, whose all engrossing sphere of activity requires him to share in sympathy the miseries of the whole race; to make their nature and remedy the study of his life; who in the dark moment of supreme distress, hisitates not to hazard his own health and life for humanity's sake—He will not listen with patience to such ill-advised censure, nor will he permit if possible the only path to essential knowledge in his art to be closed. Brutes are not so sensitive as man to pain, owing to the lower development of their nervous system. Most vivisection involves no pain, and where there is pain, anaesthetics are nearly always used. The existing humanitarian energy directed against vivisection should be turned against the cruelties of the sportsman. To object to sacrificing animals for scientific purposes while we continue to kill them for food would be to grant the stomach a privilege which you deny the mind. If no pain is felt why is it worse to cut up a dog or a sheep than a hog? Or why is it worse under the same conditions to experiment on rats than to exterminate them as a pest? Repeated painful experiments should not be made to demonstrate what nobody doubts. The operator should inform himself of all previous experiments, should have specifically in mind the question he wishes to determine, and the method of least possible suffering and then his results as well as method in his work will stand the crucial test and scrutiny of a critical public- Shane, the artistic photographer, whose gallery is at 615 Massachusetts street, wants to see you on business.

See Him before Ordering Your New Suit. The Battle of Mount Oread. Out we went into the night, By the new moon's waning light, Up Mount Oread we sped. By all eager purpose led. And we raised our flag before Any Soph, Senior Thought of quitting Morpheus' arms. Yet at last they came around And it seemed the way they found Matters, did not please them well, So they raised a mityty yell, For our flag was floating high, Streaming in the azure sky Grand and gladsome to behold; And the Freshmen brave and bold With the juniors stood around. Then the sophs and seniors came, Far to numerous to name On they rushed with might and main. But their toil was all in vain, Oh! the heroes there that fell. Who of bards could sing or tell? Like our Troja's bloody plain, Where the ground lay full of flail, Thus we fought around the flag, Nor did our courage lag. Though our dinner time was past; But we took it down at last, Bore it off triumphantly To a lady fair to see. "Lady fair!" we said, "Behold! We the freshmen brave and bold, We the junians strong and daring, We have come devoutly bearing What in many a furious fray We have guarded all the day. Proudly in the breeze it floated While the sunshine o'er it gloated; Now we pray you, lady fair! Take this banner in your care. Let it be a souvenir To you, of these heroes here, Of their deeds of daring done, Of the boundless glory won." As the sun beams on some isle, Thus the lady smiled a smile, Thanked us even with words benign, Yes, in accents quite divine; Said, that the gallant junions be The very flower of chivalry, Said, that the Freshman brave and bol Far surpass the knights of old, And that bards in future time Would sing their praises in sweet rhymm. F. J.L MUSIC HALL. versity. Successful Dedication of the Latest Acquisition to the Uni- 'A wise move' is what everyone says of Professor Penny's removal of the School of Music and Art to the town. Chancellor Snow in his opening remarks at the dedication concert by De Kontsk1 last Thursday evening, said that the possession of the Hall was due to the generosity of Mr. J. B. Watkins and the tireless energy of the dean of the school. The large audience present, consisting of the elite of the town and University, was a fine testimony of appreciation. A new stage had been erected which, with the grand pianos, the floral decorations and pictures, made a complete transformation of the old church. De Kontski read a few reminisces concerning the great Beethoven, his pronunciation, however, making it very difficult to understand. But his pianoforte playing was thoroughly understood, and aroused the greatest enthusiasm. The fire and animation of the old Chevalier was a surprise to everybody and his playing was pronounced by all to have been the best ever heard in Lawrence. Professor Penny informs us that De Kontski dedicated the hall to music in general, while the concert last evening was a dedication to the cause of American music. Julius Cæsar. No worthier representative pianist could be found than Mr. Wm. H. Sherwood of Chicago, who has done so much for music in America. His playing was grand, and lack of space prevents our mentioning it in detail. The seniors are working hard on the burlesque of Julius Caesar and are holding rehearsals twice a week. The different parts have been assigned with peculiar fitness, and, as the class is very fortunate in possessing remarkable histrionic talent, an excellent presentation of the play is assured. J. Hubert Sawtell will take the part of Cassius, with "a lean and hungry look," Mr. Sawtell has that peculiar curl of the lip which was so characteristic of Lawrence Barrett, in "doing Cassius." Mr. W. Trutt takes the part of of Caesar. He is peculiarly fitted by nature for this part, as he is a "noble Roman" in look and stature The balcony scene between Mr. Truitt and R. Diamedia Brown, in the role of Calphurnia, is said to be very touching indeed. Mr. Brown is cultivating a faisset voice and a "sweet-girl graduate" smile, in order to "do" this part in a pleasing manner. Mr. H.Barnes, who shifted scenes in the Abilene opera house, will take the part of Anthony. As Anthony was a sporting man and a fine orator, Mr. Barnes will undoubtedly more than satisfy the audience. Mr. H. Spencer Hadley has been in training for the characterization of Brutus for sometime, and is "chewing scenery" daily. It will be remembered the great hit Mr.H. made in the "Prince and Pauper," where his Apollo-like form and Roman cast of countenance were so prominently noticed. He shows off to especial advantage in the love scene with his wife Portia, who is imper- onated by Mr. Eugenia Caldwell. Mr. Caldwell is a young actor of great promise, and as he has always done remarkably well in female parts, his presentation of Portia will be up to the standard. W, W. Brown, who is "every inch a Roman," takes the part of Octavius and helps Anthony kill Brutus and Cassius. Mr. Potter as Casca, Mr. Engle as Trebonius, Mr. Copper as Decius, Mr Ridgeway as Mettelius, Mr. Simmons as Lucius, and Mr. Noble as the Soothsayer, make up the remainder of the cast. The play will be interspersed with sparkling specialties and good acting on the side. To create enthusiasm in the audience the juniors will be presented with the boxes.

Notice has just been received at the University of the shipment from Germany of a consignment of about five hundred volumes, donated by the great publishing house of F. A. Brockans in Leipzig. Messrs Brockans are exceedingly liberal men and their donations to public libraries are numerous. Having heard of the energy and push of our institution, and knowing its comparatively small library facilities, it occurred to him that they might confer a similar gift upon us. Through Prof. Carruth, the house made the generous offer, the fulfillment of which will soon place upon the library shelves the largest donation yet received by that department. The shipment is rich in the history and philosophy of German, Italian and Spanish literature. The list value of the books is over six hundred dollars. Buy some of Smith's fishing tackle. A telegram has just been received by Prof. Sterling from the manager of the Nebraska base ball club, asking if a game can be arranged with K. S. U. for next Monday. The Nebraska boys play at Kansas City Saturday and are desirious of crossing bats with our team if possible. Word was immediately wired that a game would be desired and almost any terms would be satisfactory. Consequently, if the weather is favorable, our team will have a chance to test its ability to "play ball" with one of the strongest of western college ball clubs.

Baker Beaten in a Well Played Game Last Saturday. Score 11 to 6. CRIMSO NWINS The University of Kansas continues to hold her supremacy on the base ball field as in everything else. The time has passed when she will ever be defeated in base ball or foot ball by any other institution in the stete. Hence an inter-state base ball league is the inevitable result. Last Saturday the University nine played its second league game, this time with Baker, and again won by superior playing. The game took place at Baldwin. A large crowd of the wearers of the crimson accompanied the team and aided the boys materially with their cheers. The game, while not free from inexcussable errors, still proved very interesting and exciting. Wasser for Baker and Sherman and Kinsie for the University were the opposing pitchers. Wasser, it must be said, is one of the best pitchers in the league but his support is poor, while Baker is very weak in batting. Up to the fifth inning the playing was very sharp on both sides, K. U. having scored two runs. Sherman had struck out six men, four of them while men were on bases. The fifth inning, however, gave Baker a new lease on life. Sherman was rapped for several hits, all bunched, and the team seemed to go to pieces for a few minutes. When the end came Baker had piled up six runs, all she got in the game. The pretty boys who wear the crimson suits, then settled down and made a Sunol finish, retiring Baker in the remaining innings in one, two, three order, and adding eight scores to their list. Kinzie pitched the remaining portion of the game, and did well, having five strike outs. The features of the game were the pitching of Wasser and the catching of Kelsey. Crawford, Simmons and Toomey also played especially well. Aside from the fifth inning our boys put up a splendid game, and clearly showed that they are superior to any team in the league. Score by innings: **Score by Kaling** K· S. U. 0 0 1 0 2 1 2 4 1—11 Baker 0 0 0 0 6 0 0 0—6 Earned runs—K, U., 4; Baker,1. Two base hit, Crawford. Three base hit, Wright. Left on bases, K, U. 7; Baker 12. Struck out, by Sherman 6, by Kinzie, 5, by Wasser 5. Umpire, McVicar of Washburn. Eleven Bakerites sawed the air much to their disgust. NOTES. Capt. Hogg did some hard thinking during the fifth inning. Sherman stole five bases, while Smith, Simmons and Piatt were not far behind his record. It is to be hoped the University will never be unfortunate enough to have a "glass arm" pitcher. That pennant is not far off and with one more strong pull on the 13th of this month it will be ours. The next game will be played in Topeka tomorrow when K, U. and Washburn will meet for the second time. Parties the evening before league games are not exactly conducive to good ball playing, as several of the boys no doubt found out. Baker has lost one game and won one, Washburn has lost and won none and K. U. has won two and lost none. We consequently have a clear lead and will keep it. "Jimmie" Kelsey, the home run hitter, caught a grand game of ball. He had neither a passed ball nor a wild throw and was the coolest man on the team in the ill fated fifth inning. PERSONAL. Claud Kelsey has been quite ill Holmes was sick the first of the week. Miss Gibson, of Topeka, attended the Theta party. The Phi Psis had a group picture taken Tuesday.

The Inter-State Oratorical Contest Won by Miss Nelson of De Pauw, Poston Gets Sixth Place—Challiss Elected President. The oratorical contest held at Minneapolis last Thursday was won by Miss E. Jean Nelson of De Pauw University; she is a member of the Kappa Kappa Gamme fraternity. Miss Nelson is pretty, graceful and modest; her oration was neat, not extravagant in statements nor over flowery. Geyer from Ohio got second place. Poston did well but he could only get sixth place. His delivery was slow but he held the attention of his audience. La Motte of the State University of Missouri was perhaps the best orator of all. He had the best voice, presence, and everything that goes to make up a magnetic orator, he drew ninth place. Sullivan of Washburn, and Challiss, gave Rock Chalk to such an extent that the whole M. U. crowd took it up and gave it with a vim. A banquet was given the next night after the contest during,which the mayor, supreme judge the college president and others gave toasts. Challiss gave a toast of some twenty minutes duration on the "Oratorical Girl." At the election of officers Challiss was elected president, Lyabarger of Iowa, vice president and Murdock of Colorado, secretary and treasurer. The next contest will be held at Columbus, Ohio. An Excellent Opportunity. Mrs. E. B. Topham of this city has been given the exclusive control of the sale of Rand, McNally & Company's Universal Atlas in Douglas, Shawnee, Leavenworth and Claud counties, and will be able to furnish lucrative employment to a few energetic students in canvassing for the work. The high repute of the Atlas renders it a very available selling work. Col. O. E. Learnard and Chanceeller F. H. Snow own copies of the Atlas and have expressed their high appreciation of it. The Chancellor's copy is in every-day use in his office,and as he himself expresses "could not well be spared." County Superintendent Pearis and Mr. Coonrod, president of the Lawrence Business college, recommend the work in the strongest terms. A better book for student canvassers cannot be found. Students wishing to know terms, etc., should apply to Mrs. E. B. Topham, 945 Rhode Island street. Why not take a boat ride? Dolly Graeber will furnish you a boat. 图 Fosters Kids are the Best.

FORTUNATELY the University of Kansas is not handicapped because she is an unknown institution. "They have all heard of us." The time approaches when the "necessary arrangements" are to be made for next year, and the political cauldron begins to boil. The University of Kansas has the best yell of any college in the country. At the inter-state contest where it was given by our worthy delegate, it was so unique and so well sounding that the entire audience took it up and gave it again and again. We are always glad to receive communications from the students at large on any subject of general interest. However, such a communication must be signed by the writer, even if a fictitious name is attached, in order that some responsibility map be attributed to it. Six students were recently expelled from Cornell for using "ponies." An investigation might be a little embarrassing even in our own institution. It is said that if that useful animal, the "college horse," were entirely removed, a certain class would be totally annihilated. ALTHOUGH our orator did no win the state contest, yet we have not been without oratorical honor this year. The secretary and treasurer-ship and the presidency of the state association falls to the lot of University men, while in addition Mr.J.M. Challiss has just been elected president of the Inter-State association and Jim says there is considerable "heat" about being president, even if you can't win at the contest. The ball game of last Saturday, although it was an easy victory, yet it most clearly demonstrated the main weakness of our team—the tendency to go to pieces. The only scores that Baker made during the game were in the fifth inning when the crimson club apparently "broke." Our nine is composed of a number of excellent individual players, but the club on the whole seems to lack team work. Under the pressure of unusual excitement, or when necessity demands careful work, they are inclined to go to pieces. Of course the wet weather and the consequent inability to practice is, in the main, to blame for it. But now that "better days" are promised, the club should go into training, not so much to improve its individual players, as to eradicate this fragile tendency. DESPITE the schemes of Baker and the State Normal, the University get's the presidency of the Interstate Oratorical association in the personage of Mr. J. M. Challiss. It is almost needless for us to add that the lot could not have fallen on a worthier representative. In securing this office for the State University our delegate acted perfectly fair and square. It was not until he saw that Mr. Shively, of the Normal school could possibly obtain it, that he consented to run for the office himself. Baker's oratorical aspirant, Mr. Lockwood, was also in attendance, but again his schemes did not work, and much to his chagrin, not only the Normal but Baker college was considered unworthy of the office, and the choice fell upon our University. The Courier wishes to thank the worthy delegates of the association for this favor conferred upon the University of Kansas; and to assure them that it is appreciated. THE COURIER does not intend to disgrace itself, nor the University by condescending to reply to the slanderous and disgraceful invective which recently appeared in the columns of that collossal metropolitan daily, called, probably in satire, the World. When a newspaper maintains its precarious existence by low-down abuse and "mud slinging," it is certainly time that all sensible, and decent people, notice it only with the supremest contempt. In regard to the Mayday contest, we simply wished to correct a false statement that we feared might injure the interest of the University. That was, however, before we knew how little influence the morning sheet had. In the future we will not burden our readers with any reference to that sensational nonentity. SEMINARY NOTES. Seminary Notes for May has just appeared and is a very interesting and instructive number. An article prepared by Prof. Hodder, giving references upon municipal government is of great value, as there had been, heretofore, no comprehensive work relating to this subject. The professor has been exceedingly careful and pains taking and the list that he gives, is the most complete and accurate ever published. Some exceedingly valuable and interesting statistics on college expenses of students at the University of Kansas have been collected by the class in statistics, under the supervision of Prof. Adams. Statistics were collected from students in the four classes—freshman, sophomore, junior and junior law, it being impossible to gather enough material to determine the expenses of the senior year. Itemized accounts were requested from all students in regard to the cost of books, clothing, board, rent, etc., and the per cent of those complying was large enough to enable the results to be fairly accurate. The tables show the usual steady increase for each year the student spent in college. The sophomore year seems to indicate a desire for "fine raiment" while the junior for better board and cleaner clothes. However, the most noticeable thing in the whole table is the exceedingly low total expense for each year. The highest average given for a year is $335.04, while the highest individual account amounts to only $533.25, which is certainly much less than might be expected in an institution such as this. But the lowness of these estimates may be partially caused by the fact that many students whose expenses are the heaviest failed to put in their estimates. The lowest total expense given was $154.28,and this amount, it was stated supplied a student in all his necessary expenses for the year, without the assistance from any work. The average expense of all students, according to the estimates, is only $294.98 per year, and certainly puts a University education within the reach of all who are willing to work for it. The results of the estimates show conclusively that the average Kansas student comes to the University, not so much with an idea of having a good time, as of working hard, with a definite purpose in view. Now that the new incandescent lights are being put in all over the main building, it seems opportune to suggest a long needed improvement in regard to lighting the chapel platform. At present it is well nigh impossible to see a speaker's face who is addressing an evening audience. The glare from the two chandeliers directly behind him, serve only to hurt the eyes and render more indistinct the outline of the speaker. The present system of lighting the rostrum is the worst passible one, and if electric lights replace the old chandeliers no benefit but a detriment will be wrought; for them the glare will be the more annoying. This evil could, however, be easily remedied. The lights at the speaker's back should be removed, and lights placed on either side of the hall; or what is more preferable, foot lights should be placed along the platform. Were this last suggestion followed out the disagreeable glare and indistinctness would be removed and the rostrum lighted in the best possible manner. It is hoped the suggestion is not too late, and that, while such extended improvements are being made, a more suitable means of lighting the rostrum will be provided. Just now a feeling of sadness settles over Washburn college, as the thought of "what might have been" rises in the minds of her students. Sympathy at present is dumb. We can only murmur the usual solace which is poured into the ear of a fallen oratorical hero, something about the "uncertainty of contests,""difference in judges" and "favor of the audience,"but that is not consoling and we wish we had kept still. We had thought the market was full of "funny" papers, but a New York publishing house has just issued another such magazine. All that seems necessary to start a "funny" paper is an appropriate name, an artist to make pictures and a large sum to invest in experiien ce without interest. . In a short time the University of Kansas will own and operate as neat and complete a system of electric lighting as any in the United States. The Topeka Capital will devote a column each week to news from Kansas colleges. Henceforth the Capital will be in great demand and will be diligently read by all college news editors. THE COURIER category of "leading thoughts by leading men" seems to have been appreciated judging from similar effusions which have recently appeared in emulation, in several of our exchanges. PRINCETON Seminary has been severely attacked by a prominent eastern divine as being the seat of skepticism and dangerous free thought. In consequence the college is making extended preparations for a great influx of students next term. THE recent wet weather has so delayed the work of the Athletic field that it will be almost impossible for the ground to be in shape by field day. This may knock the poetry out of the scheme for christening the McCook field, but, however unfortunate, it is true. In view of this fact the field day exercises will have to be held at the old ball park, as it is the only other suitable place. Arrangements should be made at once for securing it, as it will now be in almost daily demand by the Lawrence ball club. Science Club. The annual meeting of the Science Club for the reading of papers on Original Investigations, will take place on Friday afternoon May 20. This meeting has come to be a feature of the closing week of the year. All who are interested are invited to attend. A program will be published next week. An Exception. The saying that "It is better to give money while alive to charitable institutions and others," is perhaps true, but like all other rules there are exceptions to it, and this is proven quite conclusively in the case of Clarke university. Mr. Clarke is still alive, but succeeded in making himself so obnoxious by his tendencies to dictate the policy, etc. of the university that a few days ago all the faculty resigned, and are now with the Chicago university.

Fraternal Aid hall never presented a more cozy and inviting appearance than Friday evening last. It was the occasion of the Kappa Alpha Theta entertainment. The evening could not have been more happily chosen. Not a cloud was in the heavens to mar the moonlight nor to fill the merry seekers with awe of any approachigg storm. The atmosphere was just cool enough to make dancing enjoyable. This being the first society event in University circles since the beginning of the lenten weeks of quiet and peace, everybody seemed only too glad of the opportunity of throwing off all the restraint of formality, and went in for a good time. The hall was beautifully decorated. Large pictures ornamented the walls, in numbers. The gallery was completely carpeted and the numerous easy chairs and rugs here, offered an inviting place of rest for the tired dancer or inquisitive spectator. The stage was massively decorated in old gold and black—Theta colors, in the front of which was a center table laden with flowers. Perhaps the most unique and attractive of all this decoration was a picture of the fraternity's emblem—a cat, placed conspicuously in the center of a broad band of old gold and black which spanned the front and upper part of the arch above the stage. This emblem of the fraternity, occupying as it did such a conspicuous place and presenting such a ludicrous appearance with back bent and hair bristled, called forth many witty comments and much laughter during the evening. To the right and just below the stage a place was partitioned off with flowers and vines artistically arranged in the shape of a cabin in which were the musicians. Buch's orchestra furnished the music. About 8 o'clock the young people began arriving and by 9 or half past the programs were distributed, but all extra dances, so the gentlemen were informed, were ladies choice. Supper was served at 11 o'clock. The party was such a success that it will not soon be forgotten by those so fortunate to be present. Not only were the Thetaes from the local chapter there but also others from surrounding towns as well as guests from the Kappa Kappa Gamma and Pi Phi fraternities and representatives from the leading towns in this and neighboring states. For chivalry and beauty it was an ideal gathering; a gathering of young people which it is not one's good fortune to meet with but seldom and then only in a college town. Nothing occurred during the evening to mar the pleasantness. From 9 o'clock p. m. until the clock registered 2 a. m. all enjoyed themselves hugely. In fact from the first moment until the last all joined in the merriment, laughing and chatting the hours away and finally when the hour of 2 a. m. arrived each one felt that the party had been a grand success, and also that the Theta's were ideal entertainers.

The cashier of a down-town bank said that when the public learned which end of the check they should sign their names on it would be a great and gorific day for the employees of the banks in New York, say the New York Sun. "When the public has been taught this little detail," the cashier said, "it would be well to give the banks a lesson in printing their checks. The latest fashion in checks is by far the most convenient one. All of the information on the check which is of value to the banker is placed on one end. At the right upper corner is the date. Under this is the name of the man to whom the check is drawn. Beneath this again is the amount of the check in figures, and right below that the signature of the man who draws it. The other end of the check is filled in with the name of the bank, and so on. The advantages of this form of check are: First, that the date, amount, signer and drawer can be seen at a glance; second, if the check is bound up with dozens of other checks and bills it is not necessary to pull it out from the bundle to get information about it. A cashier can take up a package of such checks, thumb over the ends and set them aside in less time than it would take to go over two or three checks of the older form. Nearly all of the larger banking houses and big corporations have adopted the check, and it will eventually find its way down to the smaller concerns." ELECTRIC TRAINS. We May Look for Such Things in the Near Future. Every now and then we hear that electric motors will soon take the place of steam locomotives on railroads. How much truth there is in the matter is well stated in an interesting article in Loo-motive Engineering, which says: The prospect of moving ordinary trains by electricity is about as good now as the prospects of lighting cities by electricity were before the discovery that electricity could be generated by a dynamo-electric machine. Previous to the introduction of the dynamo it was well known that electric lights could be made with powerful batteries, but the zinc and copper that constituted the fuel of the battery were too expensive to make electric lighting anything more than a curiosity. The dynamo effected a revolution by cheapening electricity. If another improvement equally radical should be made over the present methods of generating electricity it would open the way for operating railroad trains more cheaply by electricity than by locomotives. The radical improvement looked for is the direct generation of electricity from the energy of coal. So long as coal has to be burned in a furnace to make steam for an engine to drive dynamos for the generation of the electricity used there is no probability of electric transmission being cheaper than hauling by locomotives. HEROIC COURTESY. The Courteous Frenchman Never Revealed Ha Careless Hont's Mistake. A recent French writer on "The Revolution, the Empire and the Restoration," cites an amusing instance of what he calls heroic courtesy. Percy, Lord Beverly, invited to dine with him a marquis who was one of the most valiant soldiers of the army of Conde. Wishing to honor his guest and the cause which he served, that of the French king, the English peer ordered his butter to bring him a bottle of fine wine one hundred years old, "a ray of sunshine in crystal." He opened it carefully and offered a glass to the marquis, saying: "If you deem it worthy the honor, will you in this wine the health of the king?" "Then," said Lord Beverly, "finish the glass; only in a full glass can one drink the health of so great and so unfortunate a king." "How do you like it?" asked the host. "Excoriate," replied the marrons. Without hesitation the marquids did as he was bidden. Only when the Englishman tasted the wine did he learn that what he had forced on his guest was castor oil; and henceforth he held the politeness of the French toward the English in the highest esteem. The marquis tasted the wine. This is good weather for a man to have a case in court if he has to have one at all, for he can do nothing else now. Do you believe that marriage is a failure?

It is safe to say that a majority of the students never heard of Sidney Lanier until it was announced that Mr. Dewey would read a paper on his life and works before the Philological Club. This ignorance is due to the fact that Sidney Lanier has found no place among authors and poets up to this time. Works on American literature give him a three line notice, while denoting pages to men of less merit. Shall we say this is because he was born south of Mason and Dinon's line that he served in the southern army and that his life and writings are largely identified with the south' This may have been true—it no longer is. In the library of American Literature vol x, page 145, you will find selections of his poems, and a picture of the man himself, showing the "southerner, nervous and eager with dark hair and silken beard features delicately moulded and pallid complexion." He was born in Georgia, 1842, and died 1881. His literary life lasted only about six years. Mr. T. E Dewey is a busy lawyer of Abilene but he finds time to denote to pure literature. Sidney Lanier is his favorite poet and he is doing much to make Lanier's poems known to Kansas students. His paper last Tuesday evening paid a just tribute to Sidney Lanier and his work; reciting the difficulties under which he labored and the successes which he attained The paper was interspersed with selections from Lanier's best poems such as "The Marshes of Glynn," "Song of the Chattahoochee," "Sunrise,'" "Corn." Mr. Dewey rendering of these was excellent and he held the close attention of the audience. Such work as Mr. Dewey will make literature more than a money getting trade in Kansas. Sun Spots. [BY PROF. MILLER,] Prof. Miller gave a pleasant and instructive lecture last Friday night before the Science Club on sun spots, of which the following is a synopsis. He first spoke of the appearance of the sun as seen through the telescope and gave the opinions held as to the nature of the solar surface, describing also the composition of the solar clouds and atmosphere. After having gone over this ground thoroughly and clearly, he described the formation of sun spots, their duration, size and form, and said that the large number of sun spots were coincident with the electrical and magnetic disturbances upon the earth and the magnificent display of auroral character. The periodicity of the sun spots and terrestrial disturbances, he said, were quite noticeable and occur with the same frequency. The connection of the sun spots and other features of solar activity were spoken of and the lecturer ended by explaining the sun belt upon the solar surface. Prof. Miller is a very pleasant talker and never lacks words to explain his ideas clearly and with force. The attention of the audience was held easily during the entire evening and the lecture proved to be one of the most entertaining and profitable, given by the Science club during the year.

UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS. VOL. X. LOCALS. Mr. Porter has put on his Sigma Chi pin again. Sigma Chi fraternity will give a a negligee hop in Merchants hall tonight. E. S. Tucker is printing some photographs to be used in illustrating the lectures in Toxicology. Not the least interesting and perhaps the most amusing parts of the chinch bug report are letters numbered 143 and 147. The class in scientific German has just finished "Goethe's Scientific Work" and have taken up a monograph on Bacteria. Botany field work is demanding all the spare hours of the freshmen. It may be said in favor of the study that it covers a multitude of sins. Mr. Lutz lost the diamond from his fraternity pin. Hereafter do not consider all that glitters as gold or even glass. You might pass by a gem. Mrs. Ella Brown, graduate of the law school in '91, will lecture before the class on Status of Women next Tuesday at 9 o'clock on "Property Rights of Women." There was no lecture in toxicology by Prof. Bailey on Wednesday and Thursday, as many members of the class had been excused to attend the annual meeting of the Kansas Pharmaceutical association. Ben. Harrison, the eagle, in a moment of regained freedom soared proudly away over the trees towards the north end of the campus. But his wings being clipped he soon wearied of flight and Tom Breeze brought him back. R. D. Brown is to play the part of Calphurnia, and Eugene Caldwell takes the part of Portia in the play of Julius Caesar June 4th. It is rumored that they intend to depart from the usual costuming and introduce dress reform. Prof. Stevens has devised an ingenious case of instruments for his botany class. The case is large enough to be slipped into a coat pocket and yet contains a stage with a dark back ground, dissecting tools, and a lense of special manufacture, so arranged that by the inversion of the cover of the case it is ready for use. The professor has also fitted his microscopes of higher power so that they can be used as hand microscopes in class work. A design for wrought iron fixtures to be added to the gas pipe chandeliers in order to adapt them to the electric lights has been decided upon. The fixtures will be made in the shops. The design is neat and practical. It is the work of Mr.Ed Stimpson. LAWRENCE, KANSAS, MAY 20, 1892 The seminary will not meet again his term. The Betas entertained two of their Nebraska brethren; Barnes and Chandler. A list of Field Day contests has been posted. The program promises to be an interesting one. The bats offered by. Prof. Sterling as prizes for a home run, or two two baggers in Monday's game were not won. The athletic grounds are "in the soup" just at present. It is very doubtful whether they can be extricated in time for Field Day. V. L. Kellogg gave a lecture before the Pharmacy students last Friday on "Insects Injurious to Drugs." The seniors and faculty have been practicing for their game Monday and if the weather is favorable we can expect an exciting time. Pictures of the Baker battery appeared in the Kansas City papers as the crack amateurs of the state. It would be well for them to establish such a reputation. The Glee club will give a concert the 28th. The club is learning some new music and they hope to give a program, that will be acceptable in every respect. The Christian Endeavor societies of the city will run an excursion to Leavenworth Saturday. The points of interest to be visited are the penitentiary, the fort and the soldiers home. Tickets for the round trip $1. While the seniors were enjoying themselves at the Chancellor's reception last Friday night, the juniors were laying a deep plot to interrupt their festivities. The wrong man was intrusted with the secret and as a result the gas was not turned off. Chancellor Snow was called east by the sudden death of his father at Fitchburg, Mass. The Chancellor has the sympathy of the faculty and entire body of students in his sad bereavement. It is probable that he will not return until about the 25th. Mrs. Snow has been east some time and will return with him. The classes in Sociology and Charities and Corrections will accompany the excursion to Leavenworth in order to investigate the prison system and methods of discipline of the penitentiary. The classes have begun a practical study of Kansas institutions. They will investigate the jail, the associated charities of Lawrence, the Douglas county poor house and the blind asylum at Kansas City. They intend to make a study of the practical operations of these institutions. The seniors are rehearsing Julius Ceasar regularly. J. L. Lange will conduct a private class in German this summer. Prof. Carruth lectured at Kansas City Tuesday evening. A story by A. G. Canfield appeared in the Youth's Companion last week. Mr. Vaniaman will leave for his home at McPherson Saturday in order to attend to his business interests. Miss Watson was able to return to the library Wednesday. She will not resume her regular duties however until next week. Fred H, Kellegg, who graduated last year' is becoming a "literateur" He has had several articles accepted by the publishers of the Century. The oratorio Athalic, has been postponed until next October. It was found impossible to arrange a date for it before commencement week. Prof. Williston accompanied by several of the students attended the State Pharmaceutical Association at Kansas City Wednesday and Thursday. A patrified stump about ten feet high, has been planted near Snow hall. By this experiment upon Kansas soil the University,however does not intend to infringe upon the province of the Agricultural College. If a substitution is not made for Gunsaulus before June 1st, each holder of a course ticket will receive a rebate of thirty-three cents. The committee have made every effort tond a lecturer, but it is late in the year and no one is available. Mr. J. R. Mott, the international secretary of the Y. M. C. A., conducted chapel exercises Wednesday morning. He spoke in a very pleasant manner of the work of the college Y. M. C. A. and its effects upon college life. Prof. Murphy did not meet his classes Monday. While the boys were enjoying the vacant hour the professor was giving an elementary lesson in mathematics to a younger whom he hopes will some day be a civil engineer. The Greek symposium was held at Dr. Wilcox's house on Ohio street last Monday night. This was the last meeting of the year. Besides the usual program an hour was spent socially. Refreshments were served during the eveing. The Dr. and Mrs. Wilcox entertain with more than Greecian hospitality. Call at the new millinery store, 845 Massachusetts street, for spring Hats and Bonnets. They have some beautiful styles which will be sure to please you. WON IN THE NINTH. The University of Kansas Defeats the University of Nebraska in a Close Game It was James H. Canfield's Boys Versus Francis H.Snow's Boys—Score, 5 to 4. Kansas versus Nebraska. And the sunflowers won as usual. The game was one of the most exciting and one of the best played of the year. It was anybody's game until the last inning when the Kansans by a great effort pulled out a victory in the midst of great enthusiasm. The Nebraskans have a great team and they went on the field confident of winning, having just received a message of encouragement from Chancellor Canfield which proved a wonderful "strengthener" for their nerves. The teams were almost evenly matched, but the Kansans were a little steadier at the critical times. The opposing batteries were Kinzie and Kelsey for K, U. and Barnes and Holmes for N, U. Both pitchers did well. It was in the first inning that most of the work was done for K U. Nine men went to bat and four of them crossed the plate before the Nebraskans could stop them. It was a good lead and gave the boys confidence that lasted clear through the game. Neither side scored then until the fifth inning when by two errors and a two bagger the Nebraskans were enabled to score twice. K. U. was shut out. The sixth came and with it two more runs for "Jimmy" Canfield's boys, which made the score a tie, 4 to 4. Then both teams settled down and played ball for all they were worth. The seventh, eighth, and the first half of the ninth passed without a score for either side. The excitement was intense. K, U. came in for the last half of the ninth. One man went out and then Piatt got life on first. Simmons came to the bat and lined it out for a two bagger. Piatt attempted to get home but was caught-Simmons had by this time taken third. Two men were out. Only one more chance to prevent an extra inning game. Alden came to the bat. He was equal to the occasion and placed the ball between first and second and Simmons scored the winning run. The suspense was over and we had won. Rock Chalk was given with renewed vigor and everybody felt good. It was the first game in which our club had met foeman No. 35. worthy of its steel and the crimson won. Score by innings: N. U. 4 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1—5 N. U. 0 0 0 0 2 2 0 0 0—4 Summary. Base hits K. U. 9, N. U. 3. Earned runs K. U. 3, N. U. 1. Two base hits, Simmons, Holmes. Stolen bases K. U. 5, N. U. 5. Double plays N. U.

The Nebraska boys were well pleased with their treatment. Chancellor Canfield will have to wait until another year. Missouri versus Kansas in Kansas City tomorrow. Sherman and Kelsey will be K U. battery. A suggestion. Too many of the boys are trying to kill the ball. That is not the kind of batting that wins games by any means. K. U. has won four games and lost none. The scores have been 11 to 5, 10 to 0, 10 to 5,and 5 to 4, a total of 36 to our opponents' 14. PERSONAL. E. P. Fisher visited his K. U. friends last week.

OWING to the necessary departure of Mr. Frank Lutz,Mr. Geo.I. Adams has been elected local editor for the remainder of the year.Any favors shown him will be appreciated by the Courier. THE Baker Beacon is greatly perturbed because the school at Baldwin is not recognized as a university. Strange, isn't it that the general public are so ignorant of the colossal greatness of that institution? THAT scheme, proposed some time ago, of forming a base ball league between the State Universities of Nebraska, Missouri, Iowa and Kansas should be immediately consummated and arrangements made at once for a series of games. Has the matter been dropped or is it yet in the slow process of construction? THAT the University of Kansas offers not only "book learning" but a practical education to its students is most plainly demonstrated by the fine display of mechanical instruments in the windows of Woodward's drug store. All these tools and instruments were made in the University shops by engineering students. The display certainly reflects great credit upon that department. THE students of the University of Kansas have taken great pleasure in meeting the ball players of the Nebraska State University, both on and off the diamond. The Nebraska boys are all gentlemen and the Courier only regrets that a more hearty welcome could not have been given them. However the informal reception of Monday evening was at least an indication of our good will, and at another time we hope to be able to right royally entertain them. Such visits as this from the students of our sister state institutions are always appreciated by us and it is sincerely hoped that this will not be the last one from our neighbors on the north. THAT the University of Kansas has one of the best and most inspiring college yells in the country has often been demonstrated, but never better than at the last ball game. When defeat was staring us in the face the old yell came to our rsscue and inspired our players with courage. Although the University yell was used Monday to good effect, yet "guying," we are glad to note, was entirely absent. Never did our boys conduct themselves in a more gentlemanly and courteous manner. For the benefit of the hypercritical and a few "dispensers of morals," we should like to make an obvious, but oft misunderstood distinction. Cheering is as different from "guying" as light is from darkness. By the one, a college team is urged on to renewed exertions, while their opponents lose heart at the mere display of enthusiasm; in the other, taunts and derivative remarks are hurled at the opposing team until they become "rattled" and are thus not able to do themselves justice. The college yell and cheers are perfectly legitimate and it is by them that vent is given to the effervescent college enthusiasm. At the games with all the older institutions such a continuous cheering is kept up that one can scarcely hear himself think, and the college which can put up the best support with its yell generally wins. Our University has a splendid yell and long may it continue to urge us on to victory. OWING to the exceedingly wet weather of late, work on the athletic field has been impossible for the past two weeks and in consequence the field day exercises cannot be held there on the 28th. As only one week more remains until that date, steps should be immediately taken to secure the old base ball park, as that is the only available place. Notwithstanding the drawbacks which athletics have had this spring, we should have a good field day. There is some talk of playing a return game with Nebraska that day but it is hoped that it is only talk, and that the game will be arranged for another date. Field day has been postponed as it is, a week later than it should have been, and nothing should interfere to change the exercises of field day from the appointed date—a week from Saturday. Let everyone be ready to do his best that day, and let nothing but the inclement weather prevent the exercises from being held. BASE BALL. With the victory over Nebraska last Monday our ball club has won four games this spring, and not yet suffered defeat. Practically the triangular league pennant is already ours, although the formality of again*playing Baker will have to be gone through with, as Washburn will probably lose tomorrow's game. If we can defeat the Missourians Saturday,the University of Kansas will certainly have a ball club of which she may be justly proud. Monday's game was a close and exciting one and clearly demonstrates the strength of our team. However the batting was exceedingly poor. This may be accounted for in part at least, by the fact that the Nebraska pitcher "twirls the sphere" in a very exasperating manner, but the main cause of the poor batting average can be attributed to another cause. Several prizes had been offered for home runs and two and three base hits. Almost every man that went to the bat on Monday endeavored to "kill" the ball, instead of simply trying to hit it safe. That these prizes were offered was certainly unfortunate, as they tended rather to defeat the very end for which they were given. In consequence of this strife for long hits, the "fans" were entirely too numerous and sacrifice hits were conspicuous by their absence. A club composed of men who can hit the ball without attempting to "kill" it, will win more games than a nine of phenomenal sluggers. Team work in batting will certainly win and the sooner our ball players find this out the better. It is hoped the prizes, for long hits will be removed, as the constant endeavor to win them, threatens to ruin some of our batters. COMMENCEMENT. Extensive preparations are being made for commencement this June, and the exercises promise to be of unusual interest. The graduating class this spring is an exceedingly large one, numbering in all departments about eighty students. The senior collegiate class is comparatively small, but there is more than the usual increase in the other departments. The law class is especially large—there being thirty-three graduates. There are thirteen graduates in music and art, eleven in pharmacy and four in the department of engineering, making in all departments an increase over last year of about twenty-five graduates. A new feature has been introduced into the commencement day program. This year all the departments are to be represented on that day; two speakers are to be selected from the school of arts and one from each of the other departments. This is certainly an improvement. Not only will all the graduates thus be represented, but an increased interest and variety will be added to the exercises of that day. Rev. Franklin Johnson has been asked to deliver the annual baccalaureate sermon and he has kindly consented. Rev. Johnson is at present preaching in Ottawa, Kan., but because he hails from a second class town it must not be thought he is a second class man. He is one of the most justly famous preachers in all the West, and his address will undoubtedly be exceptionally fine. It is greatly to be regretted that Horace E. Scudder, editor of the Atlantic Monthly, who was to have given the annual address, is unable to fulfill his appointment on account of sickness. As yet no substitution has been made in his place, but Regent Gleed is now in New York City and he will undoubtedly secure us a good man. Phi Delta Theta. A merry party gathered in the Phi Delt hall last Saturday evening. The rain did not dampen the arder of the pleasure seekers, and it was only when Sunday came that the company broke up. Fifteen couple were present. Millinery. Now is the time to get your fashionable millinery. Call at Mrs. Gardner's and get her prices on millinery.

Word has just been received from Kansas City that the Missouri University ball club cannot possibly play K. S. U. tomorrow. No reason was given. Science Club. The annual meeting of the Science club for the reading of papers showing work in the line of original investigation, has been a feature of this club since its beginning, more than eight years ago. The other annual meeting of this club, which is held in January,is of an entirely different character, and is known to the initiated as the "it." The papers read at the "It" are not usually of a grave character. The University has at present as many men, both among the students and the faculty bodies, that are devoting all their spare time to investigation and it is fitting that there should be a summary of their work at the end of the year. All, both ladies and gentlemen who are interested in the topics discussed, are invited to be present in Snow hall on Friday afternoon at 3 o'clock. The program is as follows: Notes on Magnetic Declination. F O Marvin. Constants for the Fauth Alt-azmuth, No 296, A O Ridgeway. Examination of Stramonium Seed, L E Sayre.

Another game was to be played in the ball park, so the clubs met on the virgin prairie back of Washburn. The day was a wretched one for base ball. The field was soaked with water, drizzling rain fell at intervals throughout the game. The ball soon became heavy and slimy and good playing was out of the question. The pitching was wild. Some clever fielding was done however. Crawford, Hogg and Simmons made a neat double pay in the second inning. Kelsoy's catching was faultless. Moore made a fine throw and put Hogg out at the plate. The bases were watched closely and Washburn did not make a steal. The K. U. boys made six steals but were over-daring, and five of them were thrown out at the home plate. The run-getting came in streaks. K, U. scored three in the first; Washburn duplicated it in her half. K, U. took the lead in the sixth inning. Kinzie's two bagger, Kelsey's single and Piatt's base on balls filled the bases. Simmons tried to sacrifice, but McVicar threw Kinzie out at the plate. The bases were full, McVicar hit Smith with the ball forcing in a run. A couple of timely hits by Sherman and Crawford sent in four more runs. Hits by Kelsey and Simmons and errors by Boughton gave two more in the ninth. Washburn scored in the sixth and seventh on singles by McVicar and Guild, two baggers by Boughton and Baker, and four errors by the University team. | A B. | R. | IB. | P.O. | A. | E. | | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | | Sherman, p...5 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 6 | 1 | | Crawford ss...4 | 0 | 2 | 0 | 3 | 0 | | Hogg, 2b...4 | 1 | 3 | 3 | 5 | 1 | | Kinzie, 3b...5 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 0 | | Kelsey, c...5 | 1 | 2 | 8 | 2 | 0 | | Platt., l f...4 | 2 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | | Simmons, b...5 | 1 | 1 | 1 1 | 0 | 2 | | Smith, c f...4 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 1 | | Dobson, r f...5 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | K.

The castings were purchased for $100 and finished from blue prints by the students. Display of Shopwork. The display shows samples of tempering, forging,milling, planing, bench work, etc. The tools displayed are of fine workmanship, are intended to be used in the shops. It is not intended that shop practice will teach the student a trade but its advantages to an electrical engineer are incalculable. Notice those 10c Canes at Smith's News Depot.

The gentlemen of Beta Theta Pi fraternity entertained their lady friends last Friday evening in their hall in the opera house block. The party was quite informal. Although the evening was not as pleasant as might have been desired yet the hall was cheerful and it needed no moon or stars to make the hours pass more pleasantly. The air was cool and this contributed much to the enjoyment of those who were fond of dancing. The company tarried until a late hour. A "dorg," the mysteries of which the Beta girls are always desirous of discovering, was served at Wiedemann's. The ladies present were Misses Smeltzer, Churchill,Henshaw, Morris, Riggs, Russel,Smith, Rushmer, Town, Blaker, Wilder, Scott, Wilder, Hayes, Weber and Mason. The The gentlemen were Messrs Fullerton,McKinnon,Withington, Springer, Adams,Babbitt, Brown, Van Brunt, Bowker,Hutchinson,Lutz, Barnes. Hickey, Melvin, Morris and Whitman. Economic Association. The local circle of the southeastern branch of the American Economic Association held its second meeting at the Y. M. C. A. rooms Monday evening. Considerable preliminary business was transacted after which Mr. H. F. Roberts read a review of Mr. Taussig's recent monograph on "The Silver'Situation in the United States." Discussion of the paper followed. Besides the members of the local circle, there was present one of the members of the Kansas City organization. An intelligent interest manifested in the discussion of the silver question, showed the benefit of this kind of an association. It was decided to take up for the next six months, the study of money, following the text book, "Money, Trade and Industry," and outlines on the history of money in the University extension series. The next meeting of the local organization will be held a week from next Monday night in the Y. M. C.A. rooms, and interesting papers on monetary topics will be presented. It is hoped a full attendance of members will be present. Visitors are invited. Store Directory BASEMENT. Bullene, Moore, Emery & Co., Kitchen Goods, Crockery, Glassware, Woodenware, Trunks.

The ball went whizzing down The field from that terrible whack, And it bored its way through the short-stop's hands And knocked him flat on his back. And the crowd sent up a howl, And the players set up a shout, And the pretty girl in the grandstand asked, "Does that put the umpire out?" "Does that put the umpire out?" —Ex. In Honor of the Nebraska Boys. Last Monday evening the student tendered the ball players of the University of Nebraska an informa reception in the Beta hall. Music was furnished by the University mandolin club, and Dan Crew and several others pleasingly entertained the company with college songs. Refreshments, suitable to the occasion, were furnished during the evening, while witty facetious speeches were made by the visitors and their hosts. Never did the spirit of goodfellowship more pervade a body of students, and in consequence, an exceedingly pleasant and jolly time was had by every one. The meeting did not break up until a late hour, and then, as the guests departed, it was not without expressing the hope that at an early date a return game might be arranged, when they would have the pleasure of returning the evening favors. An Excellent Opportunity. Mrs. E. B. Topham of this city has been given the exclusive control of the sale of Rand, McNally & Company's Universal Atlas in Douglas, Shawnee, Leavenworth, Cloud, Wyandotte and Johnson counties, and will be able to furnish lucrative employment to a few energetic students in canvassing for the work. The high repute of the Atlas renders it a very available selling work. Col. O. E. Learnard and Chancellor F. H. Snow own copies of the Atlas and have expressed their high appreciation of it. The Chancellor's copy is in every-day use in his office, and as he himself expresses "could not well be spared." County Superintendent Peairs and Mr. Coonrod, president of the Lawrence Business college, recommend the work in the strongest terms. A better book for student canvassors cannot be found. Students wishing to know terms, ete., should apply to Mrs. E. B. Topham, 945 Rhode Island street. Students. If you want a new suit for vacation, call on Urbansky, the Boston Square Dealing Clothier.

Why the Intelligent Dog Abstained From "I understand," said a seedy looking man to a neighbor, "that your dog is a great thief, that he goes forth dally and steals a chicken from a neighbor for your table." Mutton. "I wouldn't keep such a doo as that." "It is not so," replied the other in rather an offended tone, "but he sometimes steals a bit of beef from me." "Well," said the owner of the dog, "every man seems to know his neighbor's business best. But I am going to keep and cherish that dog, if he does occasionally jump on the stove and eat the veal outlets while they are frizzling in the pan." "Does your dog do that?" asked the seedy individual, smoking his lips at the, to him, magic words of veal cuttlets. "He does that," replied the owner, "and sometimes he opens the oven door with his paw and eats a roasting duck." "And still you like the dog." "Indeed I do," replied the owner, "he is a great treasure, and is invaluable to me in my new business." "What's that?" "Don't you know, that I have just opened a mutton store?" asked the owner of the dog. "No; it was news to me. But the best advice I can give you is to keep your mutton on the ceiling and you dog chained in the cellar at home Now, how can such a dog be of value to you in a mutton store? Will he go out and bring in a customer by the trousers seat?" "No, he will not do that," responds the owner, with a smile. "You know he will never touch mutton or lamb." Is it that?" asked the seedy mar with an airy grin. "Because," replied the owner, with the air of a philosopher, "when I started in the mutton business 1 made up my mind that I must have a dog that could watch the store in my absence; so I got a shepherd dog—one that was brought up and trained to protect mutton, and this animal would no more think of touching a lamb chop than he would of running under a flying railroad train. When he looks upon a leg of mutton it is with the loving glance a mother bestows on her only baby, and he will lie in the shop all day if necessary, and regard the legs and shoulders of lamb like so many living specimens capering gracefully on the hills of twinkling emerald." —Detroit Free Press. Study of a Soap Bubble. The iridesences of the common soap bubble, subjected to scientific analysis, have emerged in the conclusion that stellar space is a plenum filled with material substance capable of transmitting motion with a rapidity which would girdle the equatorial earth eight times in a second, while the tremors of this substance, in one form, constitute what we call light, and in all forms constitute what we call radiant heat. Not seeing this connection between great and small, not discerning that as regards the illustration of physical principles there is no great and no small, the wits, considering the small contemptible, permit sarcasm to flow.—John Tyndall. Chancellor's Reception. The seniors of all departments were tendered a reception by Chancellor Snow last Friday evening. The elegant rooms in the second story of Snow hall were tastily decorated and furnished for the occasion. The chancellor was assisted in receiving by his daughters. The company was a brilliant one. Music lent its charm. Refreshments were served during the evening. Among the pleasures of school life,the members of the class of '92 will cherish this as one of their pleasantest memories.

Baker holds her field day on the same date as ours. The Execsior club were entertained by Prof. and Mrs. Carruth last Saturday evening. W. Y. Morgan, of 287, who has edited the Strong City Republican for several years,has purchased the Emporia Gazette, Washburn did not play Baker a return game and so Baker scored another victory. The games now stand Baker 2, K. U, 3. Prof. Penny is drilling a chorus for Decoration day. They will sing the cantata "The Bended Bow." Miss Hayes takes the solo part. Prof. Dome Geza, the Hungarian violinist, plays at music hall next Monday evening, Decoration day. He will be assisted by Prof. Penny. Ed. Esterly says he is neither a musician nor a dentist, but a student of the medical department of the University of Pennsylvania. Goad bye students, we may not meet again, but take Grandma's Wonder Tea for billiousness this summer and you will never regret it. It is reported that seven professors of the University of Pennsylvania have been asked to resign because of teaching partisan politics. The plastering in the corridors has been patched. It is hoped that the main building has finally settled down to bed rock and that the walls are now firm. The total number of graduates in the seven years existence of the school of music has been four. This year nine graduate, five as artists, and four as teachers. While one of the freshmen was out botanizing, he found a tortoise which had engraved on its shell, "J. D. McLane '85." He also found another upon which the name was to indistinct to be read. The Y. M. C. A. have elected officers for the next school year, Mr. Hunter is president, Jay Withington vice president, Herbert Thompson secretary, Mr. Caughey, treasurer, John Henderson corresponding secretary. Their meetings will be held in music hall hereafter. They are planning to send some students to a summer training school to learn methods of work, LAWRENCE, KANSAS, MAY 27, 1892 with the hope that next year they may be more effective in their organization. A Kansas City orchestra of nine or ten pieces will furnish the commencement music. The Kappa Kappa Gammas give their June party at Mr. Bowersock's residence on the evening of the 3rd. Final examinations in pharmacy were given this week and the juniors are putting in their extra time on botany. The Kansas City Star says that the botony class of the Kansas University is petitioning the faculty for life preservers. Prof. Dyche says there are about 35 miles of twine wrapped up in one of his mounted moose. That is considerable of a yarn isn't it? Baker played the Lawrence nine Tuesday and was shut out, the score being 10 to 0. This shows the difference between an amateur and a professional club. The chancellor returned Wednesday from the east. We are glad to have him with us again. Mrs. Snow returned with him. She is much improved in health. The old observatory building, which has not been used for some time, is to be moved down by the shops where it will be fitted up to receive the new machinery for the civil engineering school. Simmons got his finger hurt in the game with Lawrence so that he can not play in the game with Baker next Monday. Piatt will play first base and Harding will probably take his place in the field. Prof. J. G. Schurman, who has occupied the chair of ethics and mental philosophy at Cornell, has been elected president of that institution, to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of President Adams. O. W. Holmes went to Kansas City Monday and purchased a vaulting pole, a 16 pound shot, etc., for the field day contests. These should have been secured long ago. The time for practice has been so short that this year's record must necessarily be low. Rev. Myron W. Reed, who will deliver the annual address is a man of broad culture and we can expect something good from him. His home at present is at Denver. He was for some time pastor in Indianapolis, Ind. A neat reflector and cluster of electric lights has been placed in the entrance to the main building. This is a decided improvement over the flickering gas which could hardly send its light through the glass which enclosed it. Died. The wife of Professor E. C. Murphy died last Thursday night, May 19. She was a quiet, unassuming Christian woman, beloved by all who knew her, and untiring in her devotion to her family. The professor may rest assured that he has the profound sympathy of his colleagues in the faculty, and the students of the University. in his deep affliction. Examinations. The following is the schedule of examinations: Tuesday, 9 o'clock classes from 9 to 12, 2 o'clockc lasses from 2 to 5. Wednesday, 10 o'clock classes from 9 to 12, 3 o'clock classes from 2 to 5. Thursday,11 o'clock classes from 9 to 12. 4 o'clock classes from 2 to 5. Friday, 12 o'clock classes from 9 to 12. 5 o'clock classes from 2 to 5. Commencement Week. Commencement week really begins Thursday evening with the concert of the school of music in the chapel. Friday evening the Adelphic will give a public program. The senior burlesque occurs Saturday evening. Franklin Johnson D.D., of the Baptist college at Ottawa will preach the baccalaureate sermon on Sunday evening. Monday the law school hold their class day exercises. In the evening Myron W. Reed will deliver the annual sermon. Class day exercises of the school of pharmacy, Tuesday morning. The day is, however, pre-eminently alumni day. The alumni meeting at 5 o'clock, the alumni oration at 8 o'clock and the reunion at 9. Wednesday morning the regular commencement exercises. Prof. Atwin W. Shepherd has been elected first assistant in physics. Prof. Shepherd is from Cornell and comes highly recommended by Prof. Nichols, who was formerly professor of physics in the University. Martin Rice will be second assistant in the laboratory and Lawrence Page third. There has been a considerable increase in the number of students in this department since the establishment of the school of electrical engineering, and the facilities had become too limited, but with a corps of such competent instructors, the department will be able to make many advances in its next year's work.

Millinery. FACULTY VS. SENIORS Dignity Laid Aside But all in Vain—Seniors Victorious by the Score 10 to 14. The game between the faculty and seniors last Monday was one of the most interesting of the season. Almost the entire school witnessed it. The players appeared in all kinds of uniforms, tennis suits, bycicle suits, and base ball suits which the seniors had worn when they played in the high school nine. Just as the game was called a sound of martial music was heard, and a carriage decorated with crimson entered the grounds. It contained he girls of the senior class and Eugene Caldwell, the gentle Portia of "Great Caesar." The presence of the ladies and the stiring music of the drum inspired the seniors and helped them to win the game. The chancellor, who usually makes several runs, did not play. The seniors kept up a continued "kick," and in three of the innings the umpire made the faculty put out four men, but in spite of this, the professors ran up the score so that it stood 10 to 14. The battery for the faculty was Prof. Canfield and V. L. Kellogg, for the seniors Hadley and Sawtell. Kellogg pitched a nice game. Hadley's delivery, which was rather stagy, was the feature of the game. Sawtell made the first score in the second inning. Engle got hit in the back but managed to steal around home. Trutt scored a run for the seniors in the third on a passed ball. The faculty found the ball in the fourth inning and Canfield and Adams crossed the plate. Five seniors scored in the fifth—Dyche, Potter, Challis, Barnes and Hadley. Kellogg and Newson collided in trying to catch Hadley's pop up. Newson described a circle and sent Kellogg off on a tangent. Carruth scored for the faculty in their half. In the sixth the score ran up rapidly five for the seniors and six for the faculty. It looked as if the faculty might yet win. Newson did some fine fielding in the next inning and the seniors only scored once. The faculty then made their last desperate effort but only brought in one run and the game went to the seniors, the first time in several years. President W. H. Wilder, of Illinois Wesleyan University, spent Tuesday last with Prof. Newson. He visited some of the classes in mathematics and in the afternoon inspected Prof. Dyche's work in Snow hall. Toilet Brushes by the gross and by the thousand at Woodward's. No. 36. PERSONAL. Prof. Carruth lectured in Kansas City Tuesday. Mr. T. Doran visited the University last Friday. Prof. Hair of Baker witnessed the game Monday. Miss Emma White, of Denver, is visiting her University friends. Frank Simpson came up from Salina to spend a few days with his K. U. friends. Miss Oliver has been unable to meet her classes the last of this week. Shilling, the best pitcher K. U. ever had, is now playing with the Topeka nine. Mr. Schott who has been absent from school this term on account of his health, was in town last Saturday. He hopes to return next year. Professor Sayre and Canfield left for New York today. They will sail for Rotterdam on June 4th and spend the summer vacation in Europe. Profs. Williston and Robinson went fishing last Wednesday. They solemely affirm that they caught over sixty fish in an hour. A good story. Mr. Babbitt left for Kansas City Thursday to join a surveying party under Tuttle and Pike, which will survey a railroad in Arkansas this summer. Miss Myrtle Moore who attended the music school last year, has come to visit her friends and enjoy commencement week. She has been studying at the Chicago conservatory this year. Lecture Course. Owing to the fact that Dr. Gunsaulus, cancelled his date at Lawrence so late in the season, it is impossible to secure any other lecturer of importance, and consequently none will be substituted. However, the management has arranged with the Glee and Banjo club to give a concert in place of the last attraction on the course. This concert will be held in the opera house on the 28th, and all holders of course tickets will be admitted. If there are, however, any persons who are dissatisfied they can obtain the usual rebate, 33 cents, from Prof. Templin. This substitution is not considered equitable, but it is the best that could be provided. The Glee and Banjo club have been pacticing hard of late and have some excellent new music, and it is expected every ticket holder will take advantage of this opportunity of hearing the boys and enjoying a fine concert.

FIELD day tomorrow, base ball Monday, examinations next week and commencement exercises the week after, is the finale of the most prosperous year in the history of the University of Kansas. THE Lawrence Journal is a type of the wide-awake, "rustling" newspaper of the day. In last Friday's issue, a fine report of the meeting of the Science club appeared, but the meeting did not take place. It was postponed for one week. The report of the ninth annual meeting of the Kansas Academy of Languages and Literature has just been issued, in a neat and interesting pamphlet. Besides the precedings of the session, the pamphlet contains a fine address by President T. E. Dewey on Sidney Lanier. To the best of our knowledge and belief, parachlormetanitrotolene is the longest word in the English language, and no one has as yet succeeded in pronouncing it. That such terms serve to fill the mind of the vulgar populus with awe science certainly recognizes, but that they are necessary may of a truth be doubted. THE COURIER has found, after a thorough investigation, that it would be impractible to issue a daily during commencement week. However we have determined to get out an eight page commencement number. This number will contain a record of the year's events, college news, and things of interest in general. Every effort will be made to make it of unusual interest, and it is anticipated that it will be read through. A NUMBER of our students have recently been "dabbling"in politics. About fifty of them have been summoned to appear at the court house Saturday morning and exercise their first right of citizenship by working out their poll tax with a pick and shovel under the supervision of the Lawrence street commissioner. This reforming of politics don't pay, at least, so every one of the fifty has concluded. A new optional in advanced composition will be offered next year by the English department. The course will be more advanced and will be open only to those students who were members of the 'class this year.' It it proposed to allow each student to follow any line of work he may desire, whether in criticism, reportorial or purely literary work, and special individual instruction will be given him. The course is designed chiefly for teachers and students who intended to take up the Journalistic profession. It will be most acceptable, and will be a great benefit to such students. For some time the need for a more advanced course in English composition has been felt, and the students who took the composition work this year are indeed fortunate in having such a course offered them. UNIVERSITY QUARTERLY. At the last meeting of the board of regents, a liberal appropriation was voted for the publication of a University Bulletin in order that the work of original research. which is being actively carried on at the University, may be made known to the people of the state. In furtherance of this idea it was determined to issue a magazine to be called the Kansas University Quarterly. The Quarterly will be gotten up in fine shape and will contain many elegant plates and illustrations. It will be edited by a board selected from members of the faculty, and will be devoted entirely to the exposition of original investigations. The first number will appear about the first of June, and will contain articles on original work in paleontology and entrymology. Fifty large octavo pages, besides several full page half tone plates, will be contained in this number. The Quarterly will undoubtedly be a great incentive to original research in the University, and will be a very important means of informing the people outside, of the valuable and practical work that is being done in this institution. IN regard to the field day exercises tomorrow a few suggestions may be in order. To the new student they may seem obvious, but anyone who has witnessed a field day at the U. of. K. will certainly deem them appropriate and necessary: Make the distances and measurements accurate. If a man is to run a hundred yards or walk a mile, do not make him run two hundred yards or walk so many times around a circle whose circumference is X. Keep correct time. It is not of so much importance who beats, as the time that is made. Have control of the crowd, even if an armed force is necessary. And under no consideration allow the performers to be interfered with. But above all see to it that not more than two hours intervene between each event, and that at least half of the schedule be completed to-morrow. These suggestions are offered in the kindliest possible manner and only because they seem necessary. The Courier feels assured that if they are observed to any extent at all, the field day this year will eclipse all others. ___ The penant is ours if we "play ball" Monday. Although our team is somewhat we kened, yet our chances for winning the pennant are very bright indeed. Not an amateur club has won a game from us this year, and if we can only keep up our "winning gait" we will have an umbrobed record. Here's success to the club. (For the benefit of the faculty we will state that this is a stereotype expression, and we mean nothing by it.) A SUGGESTION. Now that the year is so near a close it may be safe to offer a suggestion as to the arrangement of studies. We refer particularly to two and three fifths studies. It has been apparent for some time that those studies which recite but two days in the week are of very little real benefit to the students. So many things intervene between each recitation that it is difficult to become interested in the subject and consequently the class becomes a bore. It also seems difficult for the instructor to arouse any enthusiasm in his two-fifths classes, and he, as well as the students, feels relieved when the recitation is over. This lack of interest is evident in almost every two-fifths class, and as a rule they are poorly attended by the students. On the contrary, it is seldom, that those classes which recite every day, are dull and uninteresting. The subject is always fresh in the minds of the students and some enthusiasm and interest is aroused. In the opinion of the writer and a great number of students, this fault should and could be easily removed. The two-fifth studies should be taken up consecutively for the first two fifths of the term, and then the three-fifths studies taken up and completed. Thus by abolishing the present schedule of alternating studies, the irregularity and consequent lack of interest would be avoided. This suggestion is made in the best of faith and only because the present arrangement seems faulty in the extreme. Take it for what it is worth, and even if it is never again heard of, we shall shed no bitter tears of sorrow. We only affirm that here there is room for improvement and food for thought. Just now a look of sadness and regret overspreads the countenances of our "sports" as the final examinations draw near. Indeed every one looks serious. Classes are attended punctually and a whole year's work if being "made up" in a week's time. Examinations may be useless, but nevertheless they have a wonderful tendency at times to advance the cause of learning. THE CHINCH BUG. Rumor has it that the "fraternity without a pin" is attempting a fusion with the non-fraternity men in order to start another college paper next year. Of course the aforesaid "fraternity without a pin" will endeavor to control the paper to serve its own purposes. There is a splendid prospect for some fun. Oh you thirsty ones, Raymond's Cherry Phospate and Ginger Ale have taken the people about as well did the renouned Buffalo mead of last year. Go to Misses L. E. and I.

Who on the wheat crop had cunea? He'd get into a field And would spoil a big yield And cause the poor farmer to finch. There was a professor named Snow Who said to the pest, "You must go." Then he made the bug sink In a manner so sleek. He slew for the farmer this foe. Field Day. The arrangements for field day are completed. The McCook field cannot be gotten ready and so the Massachusetts street grounds have been secured for the contests. A number of men have entered the lists and it is probable that the competition will be close. The athletic association did not feel able to offer medals this year and so the merchants have generously offered prizes. The prizes are good ones and no doubt will stimulate the boys to their best efforts. They are on exhibition in Bromelsick's window. The following is a list of the contests and prizes: One hundred yards dash, silver headed cane, Bromelsick; standing board jump, set silver salt sellars, A. Marks; putting shot, silver soap box, Wm. Rowe; bicycle race, silver cup, Geo. Innes; hurdle race, Moore's poetical works, Lawrence Book company; ball throw, league ball or bat, Smith, the news man; mile walk, "Star" sash vest, The Model; fifty yard dash, $8 violin, Fluke & Son; hammer throw, hand grip, Steinberg & Brother; obstacle race, hammock, A.D. Weaver; running board jump, silk umbrella, Abe Levy; mile run, tennis racquet, Field & Gibb. How we Stand in Mathematics. Professor Byerly, of Harvard, has sent word to Miss Anna McKinnon who had intended to spend next year in the Harvard Annex that there are no courses offered there that would be of any use to her. The professor spoke in very complimentary terms of the studies which Miss McKinnon submitted to indicate her attainments, and as this work was done under Mr. Newson, the commendation reflects considerable credit upon the efficiency of that instructor, and of our department of mathematics. Mr. Newson has recently had a second article printed in The American Journal of Mathematics, the highest periodical in this line published in America. Marie Hubert Frohman will appear at the opera house next Wednesday night in the "Witch." This play from all accounts, is one of astonishing power and originality. It is a picture of the days of witchcraft in Massachusetts. The scene on the old Salem street, the costumes and manners of the people are all embodied in the play. Marie Hubert Frohman, of whom everyone has heard, who appears in the title role has an interesting personality and, though young in years, her powers emotional and dramatic are said to be exceptional.

The play takes the place of the old conventional class day exercises and is an innovation much to be commented. The juniors, through the generosity of the seniors, will occupy the boxes. oes. CAST OF CHARACTERS. Mark-us Ant-oh! nius—Harold Barnes. "This was the most unkindest gash of all." Buy gash! Julius Seize-hor—Walter Truitty "Let me have men about me that are fat—bald headed men." (Prof. Carruth. Et Three Brutus—H. S. Hadley: "I'd rather be a dog and bay rum, than such a romance." Cassius—J. H. Saw Tell. "Ye gods it doth amaze me," etcetera, p. d. q. Decius—H. E.

Lucius—See Me Simmons:“Law sakes, massa, dat Antony done git you. shoo!” Calphurnia—Mme. R. Dixenda Brown: "A lass, my lord, hop down from off thy perch." Portia Titenius } — Signoretta Eugene: Called-well: "And with an angry waitance of your hand, you swatted me upon the cheek." Plebians — Copper, Robinson, Brown and Frederick. Senators, lictors, etc. Some of the features of the play will be the grotesque and 'out of sight' costumes, the 'palatable' local hits, unique stage settings, songs rendered in such touching fashion as would bring tears to a canary bird, and above all, the incomparable acting and perfect conception of parts by each individual engaged. Those who fail to see this greatest of all modern burlesques will loose at least two years and three months of their existence. Miss Watson manages to attend her dates although she has to work with a crutch and cane. The juniors and seniors have missed her book from the library. Rating onions is a luxury that very many more people would enjoy if they had the "breath killers" that Raymond sells. Try them even if commencement is near at hand.

Graduating Recitals. The graduating recitals of the School of Music are now being given at Music Hall. Large and appreciate audiences have heard the three concerts which have been given. The high character of the recitals and the ease of access to them has created a great demand for seats. The first recital was given Tuesday evening of last week by Miss Lichtenwater. Her playing was marked by a feeling and delicacy of expression not equaled by all professionals, while where there was occasion she showed that she possessed plenty of reserve power. Miss Lichtenwater was assisted by Nina Taggart whose vocal number was well rendered. The recital by Miss Weller tool place two evenings later. Miss Weller's playing is well known in town, but her friends were all surprised at the ease and beauty of her playing in the difficult numbers on the program. There is a striking contrast between the playing of Miss Lichtenwalter and Miss Weller—the former has more delicacy of touch whereas Miss Weller's touch is firm, vigorous and more suitable for massive compositions like the Liszt Rhapsodie, which she played to perfection. Miss Weller also showed her ability as an accompanist in the song "Sunset" beautifully sung by Mrs. Dunlap, and in the delightful trio played with the Buch brothers. The third recital was given last evening by Miss Mamie Johnston, of Waterville. She did some fine work in the opening number, the concerto by Beethoven, and in the closing "Liszt rhapsodie," especially in rapid runs and trills, at the same time displaying much delicacy of touch in the smaller numbers. Miss Edith Hayes rendered a beautiful song with good expression. The recitals thus far have shown the good solid drill and superior instruction which the young ladies are receiving in the school and reflect great credit on the instructors. Miss Orton plays tonight and Mrs. Bell gives her piano recital next Tuesday evening. The pianos are then all to be taken up to the University Hall for the Commencement Concert on Thursday evening, June 2, which is free to the public. 2. which is free to the public. The manager of the Kansas City Blues offered to arrange a game with our ball club Saturday at Kansas City, but as that is field day the game could not be arranged. It is indeed unfortunate; for it would have been most advantageous for our club to have matened its strength against the coming champions of the Western League. It is hoped a game can be arranged at some future date before school closes. All parties owing me are requested to please call and settle before the end of the term and oblige. ABE LEVY. About ten years ago Prof. J. H. Canfield, now chancellor of Nebraska University, presented the victorious base ball club of that year with a silver ball on which was engraved "K. S. U." Since the game with Nebraska last week, it has been decided to have placed on the ball the additional engraving: "vs.N.U.,score 5 to 4,May 20,'92." Notice. Any one who has ever heard Prof. Dyche tell how he has stalked Rocky Mountain sheep ought to know that he would be just as successful in cathing "ponies" no matter how shy they were. Some of the soph omores can testify to his abil ity. Experience is a good teacher but a hard master. to Have always on hand a full line of the late The -Lockwood Law Book Co.. 835 Kan.

Pharmaceutical Association. Last week Prof. Sayre, Prof. Williston and Mr. Boyce, accompanied the entire senior class in pharmacy to Kansas City to attend the meeting of the Kansas Pharmaceutical association. The meeting was one of the most successful ever held in Kansas. On Tuesday evening an address was expected from Chancellor Snow, but owing to the death of his father he was unable to be present. Prof. Williston filled the vacancy. His subject was "The Relation and Interdependence of the Pharmacist Physician." He referred to the school of pharmacy as a factor in bringing about the higher standard in both professions, and to the need of a school of medicine connected with the University, which would, in cooperation with the school of pharmacy, soon place the profession on a proper basis in the state. On Wednesday afternoon five of our seniors were honored with places on the program and papers were read also by Prof. Sayre and Mr. Boyce. On Wednesday evening a reception was given in Chelsea park. Each day's program made provision for sports in the shape of races, ball games, tugs of war, etc. All went home feeling happier and wiser for their presence at the meeting. An Excellent Opportunity. Mrs. E. B. Topham of this city has been given the exclusive control of the sale of Rand, McNally & Company's Universal Atlas in Douglas, Shawnee, Leavenworth, Cloud, Wyandotte and Johnson counties, and will be able to furnish lucrative employment to a few energetic students in canvassing for the work. The high repute of the Atlas renders it a very available selling work. Col. O. E Learnard and Chancellor F. H. Snow own copies of the Atlas and have expressed their high appreciation of it. The Chancellor's copy is in every-day use in his office,and as he himself expresses "could not well be spared." County Superintendent Pears and Mr. Coonrod, president of the Lawrence Business college, recommend the work in the strongest terms. A better book for student canvassors cannot be found Students wishing to know terms, etc., should apply to Mrs. E. B. Topham, 945 Rhode Island street. Tuesday night the Usher Guards met. Hadley and Sawtell went to practice "Great Caesar" instead of going to drill. The result was that in the midst of one of the most thrilling scenes of the play the Roman populace were startled by the appearance of a detachment of the Kansas Guards who bore off Cassius and Brutus to the Armory.
