Entered at Lawrence postoffice as second class matter.
IN SPITE of the insults offered him in the report, Secretary Moody of the University may be justly gratified with the results of the recent investigation of his accounts by the state accountant. He has not only been exonerated from all charges of mismanagement, but he is complimented, in the accountant's report, upon the business like way in which the books and accounts of the office are kept and upon his fidelity to the interests of the institution in purchasing supplies. And the University is to be congratulated upon the established trustworthiness and efficiency of one of her officers.
But very unfortunately, the state accountant Mr. Challinor, has a very enlarged conception of the duties of his office and of his own importance to the state, and he has gone far out of his own way, in his report, to make an unseeming and entirely unwarranted attack upon the faculty and board of regents and particularly upon Chancellor Snow.
Mr. Challinor is said to be a good bookkeeper; and it is a great pity that his value to the world should have been depreciated by placing him in an office whose duties he can sopoorly comprehend. It seems that he must never have read the act creating his office, or else that he willfully disregarded provisions, for in very clear terms it limits him to the examination of accounts and the methods of keeping them.
To give an appearance of substantiality to his airy assertions, Mr. Challinor presents some "facts and figures" which only emphasize his ignorance of everything save the ten tittle symbols of his own neglected calling, and which expose the utter unfairness of his position. Let him compare the University with other state universities and institutions of like grade—the only fair comparison—and he will find that none of them do any more for the money expended or produce better results than Kansas University. He chooses to sneer at the regents and chancellor for "competing against Harvard and Yale," but he has not taken the trouble to learn that those institutions expend four or five times as much money for each student as does our own University. He considers an average salary of less than fifteen hundred dollars a year for each member of the faculty "too high" to pay to men who have devoted the best years of their lives, at constant expense, to a preparation for the profession which pays least in money, men whose abilities, directed to commercial or other professional pursuits, would long ago brought fortune and ease, men whose duty is a most sacred one—the training of the rising generation—for such men fifteen hundred dollars is "too high," but two thousand dollars a year is none too much for the man who adds figures—at least not when he also finds it necessary to superintend the whole machinery of the state.

LITERARY.
A Wall Paper Customer.
It is said that you can judge a man by the dog he keeps, or by the company his wife keeps. There are other tests as infallible as these but none of them can be applied to women. The dog which a woman keeps is devoid of characteristics, and as her husband is not particular about his company, this test is also unreliable.
However, there is one infallible test of female character; you can judge a woman from the manner in which she selects wall paper. If you doubt this statement ask any experienced retailer.
A certain firm that has wrestled with many a type of wall paper hunters was once visited by a typical customer.
She was a portly, full-cheeked, heavily-stepping lady, considerably past middle life, and had the air of one who has been unjustly abused. She entered a large book store and stood motionless just inside the door until a clerk approached.
"Keep wall paper?" she asked.
"We do."
"I thought you did but I didn't want to walk down this big store till I was sure."
The clerk did not know the cause of this remark until a little later. The old lady wished to buy a remnant of wall paper, a remnant of eight rolls, no more and no less. So she was led to the wall paper department where the following dialogue took place.
Old lady—"O dear—so many patterns here I'm afraid I won't get the best one after all, can't tell now what I do want. Hold on! there's a comely figger an' I like it too."
Clerk—"Yes, but this remnant has only six rolls. You want eight."
"O dear me, I might'a knowed that. Everything goes contrariwise with me. Well show me some more."
Considerable time passes during which the old lady finds all desirable remnants either too large or too small. Others are too "yaller" or too "dead" or "don't go with the carpet" or likely to "show dirt" or, when they have the proper color, they lack a "comely figer" or, when the figure is satisfactory, it is arranged in such a bewildering way that the "strips won't match" or, when the design is less of a puzzle and capable of being synthesized on a wall, "the body is poor" and "won't hold paste."
After reviewing the stock of remnants several times and having an objection for each pattern,

Kansas University Weekly.
the old lady had to compromise by choosing the one that displeased her the least.
Leaving the wall-paper department with convulsive heaves of her expansive chest, the old lady inspects the samples of borders. But finding no border with "curley-cues" on it she again said, "O dear me" with great lengthening of the vowels of these three words. So, as in the case of the wall paper, she had to select the border that displeased her the least. But the clerk going to the rack found no border corresponding to the sample and the old lady hearing this said.
"I might 'a knowed it. Now I can't have the border I want. O-o-o-o d-e-e-e-a-r m-e-e-e-e- Just as you see things fizzle here, just so my whole life goes. O dear—why was I ever born? (louder) Lemme get a look at that batch o' borders! Why don't you keep enough for a body to use? (goes to the rack) O-o-o-o d-e-e-a-r m-e-e-e- it don't make much difference whether I get a pretty border or not,'-taint much use o' me carrying wall paper home-if the house don't burn itself down afore I get there I know sometein' else 'll happen, 'cause everything goes contrariwise with me. I did have some pretty paper on the wall but it all faded out (sighs) O-o-o-o d-e-e-e-a-r m-e-e-e-e-house-cleaning time has come——(louder) I don't like spring I don't——but it comes just the same. Then I have to potter around a truck garden-(sighs.)"
The clerk offers consolation but it only arouses the memory of old woes and glad to find someone who will listen to her misfortunes, she says.
"You don't know how miserable my life is. It would kill an ordinary woman. O dear, I believe I'm hoodooed. Last year I planted cabbage in my back yard and a lot o' nasty green worms came and chewed 'em all over Everything goes contrariwise—wind blew down all my bean poles—(sighs) O-o-o-o d-e-e-e-a-r m-e-e-e—woman next door took cabbage-heads to market—mine all died. Why this very morning my fire just died out all of a sudden an I had to make it all over again—pore miserable one—stove won't draw and when I turn the damper down the chimney burns out. Why does everything go contrariwise with me?"
Flap, flap, flap, go the pages of the sample book. "O, dear, dear," says the old lady and she adds pathos to these words by drawing her breath as she speaks them. At last she says cheerily.
"Well here's a border that's middlin' fair, but the figger looks like the bone in a sirloin steak. O well, I'll take it. I'm not the least bit pertickler about things. What's the use 'o tryin' when everything goes contrariwise? Well, wrap this bundle up."
While the clerk is tying up the paper he remarks that it is raining.
"O-o-o-o d-e-e-e-a-r m-e-e-e-e-e—just cause I came up town! Now I'll get a crick in my back an' nothing 'll kyore me—yes its just pourin' down—that fool hen o' mine 'll drown all her chickens afore I get there. O well, no matter—they'd all die o' the gaps anyhow—my chickens just lay theirselves down and die sometimes just 'cause I own 'em—find three or four dead in the coop some mornings-O miserable me—old domernick hen tuck to crowin' last week. I know that means more bad luck—but I never complain. (Cheerily) Well, I want this bundle sent to my house across the river."
The clerk informs her that goods are not delivered in that part of the city.
"O dear, I might 'a knowed that—(louder) I'll make that overgrown boy o' mine come after it—great, big, lazy, good-for-nothin'boy-takes after his father—(faintly) O-o-o d-e-e-a-r, see that rain-bed-quilts all out on the shed roof all their color'll run now—they'll all be miljewed afore I ever get 'em dry again. (Starts for the door and sees a street-car dash by) there goes my car! Now I'll have to walk home and get struck by lightning on the bridge. O dear, dear, dear, everything goes contrariwise with me."

Opening Address Postponed.
Owing to the fact that Mr. J. W. Gleed, who was chosen to deliver the opening address Sept. 13th, at Kansas University, had to go on a business trip to Europe, the address has been postponed until October 4th, when Mr. Gleed will be back from his trip across the ocean.
H. L. Schaum.
H. L. Schaum, father of Miss Madge Schaum '95, and familiar to many old students through his long connection with the book business in Lawrence, died July 20th.
Judge Thacher.
Judge Solon O. Thacher died at his home in Lawrence, August 11th. Judge Thacher has for a number of years been a regular lecturer before the Law School upon the subject of Equity. He has always been a firm friend of the University and has never failed to aid it whenever opportunity offered.
Prof. Robinson.
On July 21st, the startling news flew about that Prof. D. H. Robinson was dead. It had been known that he was sick and that the illness had developed into typhoid fever, but there was no thought that it would result so seriously, and the blow was all the heavier because it came so suddenly and unexpectedly.
Prof. Robinson was born on a farm in Caynga County, New York, June 24, 1837. After receiving a common school education, he attended Rochester University graduating with honors. His alma mater has since conferred upon him the degree of Ph.D. He taught a year in a Michigan academy and a year in the Leavenworth, Kansas schools, and came to Kansas University in 1866, he and Chancellor Snow forming the original faculty. As the institution grew, other instructors relieved him of other branches of his work, and for many years he has devoted himself to the Latin language and literature. At the time of his death he was at the head of this department and dean of the school of arts. Prof. Robinson had long been superintendent of the Baptist Sunday School, and the funeral services were conducted by

New Course in American History.
A new course in American's history will be offered this year. Hitherto the work in this department has run through two years. In the belief that there are many students, who do not care to make a specialty of history or have not time for an extended course, who would nevertheless like to know something of this history of their own country, a short course has been added which covers the whole period in a single term. The longer course is retained as it was before for the benefit of students who desire to make a more thorough study of the subject. The expectation is that the new course will meet the needs of students who have not taken American history at all before.
A. D. Weaver in the East.
Word from A. D. Weaver, who is now visiting the dry goods markets of New York, Philadelphia and Boston, is to the effect that the novelties and fine goods have just been opened there. This is the second week of heavy buying. He says prices are very low, the advance some time ago having relaxed. Stocks are not broken and he is succeeding in picking up all he wants and at figures that will enable him to place them before his customers at prices which they must admit are below what they have been paying.
Opening Attraction at the Opera House.
Those who like comedy and sensation combined will have an excellent opportunity of witnessing their favorite entertainment next Wednesday at Bowersock's Opera House when
Stroh's players will present "Birds of a Feather." The piece abounds in comedy of the better and brighter class, tells a good story of a hidden fortune, its finding by a band of coiners, its subsequent restoration, to the rightful owners and the punishment of the villians. There is an abundance of ludricous complications and sensational scenes. In the daring wire walk in the third act the author has given play goers something new. The specialties, of which there are a number, are above the average seen in plays of this class. The company has been carefully selected and travels in a private drawing room car built expressly by the Pullman Company for Manager Stroh. Seats on sale at regular prices Monday.

Entered at Lawrence postoffice as second class matter.
IN LAST week's issue, we published the constitution of this company as formulated by a representative committee (itself elected in mass meeting) and adopted, after thorough discussion and consideration of amendments, by a mass meeting of the student body. The company was organized at once last spring, and before school closed, had sold more shares than any other paper in the field has ever issued.
As stated in Article I, the object of the company is to publish a weekly and literary newspaper that shall faithfully represent the University of Kansas and her students, instructors, officers and alumni in every department. This representative character is insured by Article
VI, which provides the recent and most equitable "cumulative method" of voting for all elections, together with numerous safeguards against trickery.
The members of the staff will do their best to make the Weekly a thoroughly representative paper and as interesting as possible in every respect. The literary department has already reached a high standard of excellence, and the editors are abundantly able to maintain and improve its quality. The members of the local staff are now coming in, and we shall soon be able to defy any item of University news to escape our reporters. Editorially the Weelky will strive to treat University affairs in a liberal and fair-minded way, considering always the interests of the institution as a whole, and refusing to be bound by any clique or ring.
The best way to secure the WEEKLY is by subscribing for a share of stock, which costs but one dollar, and entitles the holder to a vote at all meetings and elections of the company and to a copy of the paper for two years. If he leaves school before the expiration of his share, he receives his paper till the end of the two years.
The subscription price is only fifty cents a year—a cent and a quarter per copy.
Sunday Observance.
Ye freshman has now gotten himself entered in Kansas University,has found his professors had his first lessonsdiscouragingly long ones assigned,and is ready for work-and advice? Rather doubtful,but let us venture to give a little. Tomorrow is Saturday. It is the day to prepare those lessons for Monday. There will be plenty of time for recreation after that is done,and at any rate,work should come first. Sunday is the day of rest set apart for

all, and students need to observe it as much as any other class of people. It is very easy to fall into the habit of leaving lessons until Sunday, but it will also be found surprisingly easy to keep out of that habit if one will only try. If the student has no lessons to get on Sunday, he can afford to spend an hour at church, and among all the ministers in Lawrence he can surely find one whose sermons will please and benefit him; he can hear some good music there are three big pipe organs in Lawrence,
and the School of Music brings plenty of good singers to our churches; and he can get acquainted with people who will make his stay in Lawrence more pleasant socially. Then he will have time to write to his mother, to read a little if he wishes, to see some of his fellow students, go for a walk or a ride and make a pleasant day of it, instead of moping dismally in his room all day, haunted by the unlearned lessons which he has neither the spirit nor the energy to master and yet dares not abandon.

"GRANDSTAND JIMMIE."
How He Won the Name and the Game.
Red, red, red, everywhere. In the grandstand, on the bleachers, streaming from canes and parasols, covering coaches and carriages, spread in great flaring bows on the coats of the boys, and blazing in great clusters over the fluttering hearts of the girls, and everywhere a perfect torrent of "Razoo, Bazoo, L. U."
It was the biggest crowd of the season which had turned out to see the team do battle on the diamond with the crack team from N. S. U. Everyone was there. The greyheaded professor of mathematics was seated beside a young lady who wore a pin in the form of a golden kite, and who was dividing her attention between chewing gum and admiring the third baseman who would even rush for the wearers of the golden kite. Billy, the "pharmic," who had already placed two week's pie on the result of the game, was chewing with Jacques, the "engineer," who for once suffered a pharmac to talk to him. The "laws" were grouped in a cynical, sarcastic looking crowd. The engineers, were here, there and everywhere, yelling themselves hoarse. It was a great day.
This was the last game of the season but the first with a state university and the students felt that the team would meet opponents who would make them work hard for a victory. Hard and faithfully had the boys practiced, and when at
the close of the first inning the score stood 2 to o in their favor, the crowd signified their appreciation by a hearty "Razoo, Bazoo, L. U."
The close of the second inning found two more scores to the credit of the home team while the visitors were still unable to cross the plate. The team was jubilant. They were hitting the famous "Cricket" who had shut out the Omaha league nine for seven innings. But wise old Captain Jimmie shook his head and said, "He isn't down to work yet; wait until he's warmed up."
Before the commencement of the third inning the "Cricket" called his men to the box and when they took their places again it was with the confident air of an unbeaten team.
The first batter up was Haradin one of the team.
The Cricket glanced around over the field and by the motion of his hand changed the position of a fielder. Then he gave Haradin his entire attention.
With his left had extended in front of him grasping the ball, the Cricket slowly moistened his fingers and then as slowly wiped them on his uniform and then grasped the ball, all the time gently pawing the ground with his left foot. With his eye on the batter he slowly repeated these motions two or three times. Then came a quick doubling up of his small body.
"Strike one," called the umpire.
Haradin had not moved.
Kansas University Weekly.
37
A vicious inshoot close around his neck misses the bat of the now thoroughly alive Haradin by about three inches. If the next ball had been an inshoot he would have sent it over the fence judging by the blow he aimed at it, but it proved to be an out and Haradin retired with a look of surprise and disgust.
Sharman next steps to the plate with all the confidence inspired by being the handsomest man on the team and who has never failed to hit it out for at least one bag. He retires to the bench after four contortions of the Cricket's body.
Then Priott, the gigantic left fielder, a slugger from Sluggerville, grasps the stick firmly and wildly beats the air. A foul ball raises false hopes and then Priott takes his way to the field with a great deal of respect for the Cricket.
But why continue to relate these discouraging details. Inning after inning passed away and still none of the team could cross the plate. Even the hitherto all powerful Jimmie batted like a Washburn man and fanned out regularly. Great was the consternation of the rooters as the boys went down in one, two, three, style before the all powerful arm of the cricket. The "laws," who had no men on the team, made sarcastic remarks about tennis racquets and ten foot poles. The engineers, who had five men on the team, were almost tearful in their exhortations to their favorites to "knock off the insulation," "close the circuit" and various other requests of a like character. The old professor remarked to the young lady, who wore the gold kite shaped badge that, "the inability of the boys to place a straight line tangent to a sphere was something remarkable. This remark nearly caused the young lady to swallow her gum. She only "took" French and chemistry, being excused from mathematics on account of her eyes—which her mother wrote "had never been strong." She thus missed what the old professor thought was a fine joke.
The game dragged along in this way until the fifth inning when N. S. U., scored two more. The sixth gave them two more. Now it was Jimmie's time to give his men a little talk, and he did it in a way that sent them to their places
with as much vim and vigor as if it was the first inning.
The ninth inning opened with no change in the score. The L. U. pitcher was nearly fagged and the visitors were hitting him hard, but the boys supported him in fine style.
Out goes one man, by a pop-up to Crawson at short. Then comes some quick batting and sharp fielding; one of those little flurries that confuses the observer and is liable to "rattle" the team. But Jimmie keeps his men well in hand and his orders few and sharp are quickly obeyed.
When the flurry ceases and the men straighten out in their places, the Cricket is standing on third but in the flurry a well fielded ball from Priott to the dead sure hand of "Pretty" Allen at second has sent another crestfallen N. S. U. man to the bench.
Now it is play ball. Score tied, two men out. "Play to the batter," says Captain Jimmie, but he waves a hand to quick-witted Sharman on third.
How is Jimmie in this crisis? Cool! Cool as if at practice. Throwing his head back and shaking his shaggy hair from his eyes, he settles the mask on his chin and patting his mit with his bare right hand he steps one pace nearer to the batter. A last touch of the mask, a last pat of the big mit and down he stoops, his right hand held downward between legs, his two fingers extended. He is "playing ball."
The gallant McKenzie—who once fought his way clear through the M. S. U., rush line, gives his worn-out arm an extra rub and takes note of the signal. Stooping low and "hugging the batter" Jimmie apparently does not see the Cricket taking a long lead off from third.
McKenzie throws the ball. The quick practiced eye of the Cricket tells him that it is a wild throw to the left and he starts for home as fast as his short legs will bring him.
There is a quick straightening of Jimmie's stalwart form, a long left arm shoots out, the swiftly flying ball strikes the firm mit and rebounds. Jimmie's right hand closes on the ball and sends it whirling toward third, where the expectant Sharman is standing. The Cricket
38
Kansas University Weekly.
has seen the trick and turning strives to regain third. Too late!
"Out!" shouts the umpire.
To say that the crowd cheered is putting it entirely too mild. When the noise lulled, Jacques, the "engineer," calls for three cheers for "Grandstand Jimmie," and they were given with a will.
That should have been enough glory for any man but fortune has her favorites and she had marked Jimmie for her own that day.
The first man to bat in the last half of the ninth strikes out. Then Haradin gets first on balls. Sharman hits a grounder to shortstop and goes out at first. Haradin goes to second on Sharman's hit. The Cricket glares at his shortstop for the play. Priott comes to the bat, misses once and finds the next one. Haradin leaves second running like a deer, but halfway to third stumbles and falls. Priott makes a long slide and reaches second, just as Haradin, half-blinded by dirt and nursing a broken wrist, lands safely at third. He is game and says he will run it out.
Score tied, last half of the ninth, fielder crippled, pitcher played out, two men out; "Grandstand Jimmie" steps to the bat.
Talk about Napoleon advancing alone and on foot with the debris of a shattered empire drifted around him; why, he was not "in it" with Jimmie, in the eyes of the engineers and the assembled multitude, when Jimmie picked up his "wagon tree" and walked to the plate with the game all but lost. With not a tremor in his hands and with an eye as clear and steady as in the first inning he adjusted the bat and awaited the coming of the ball. On his young shoulders rested the honor of old L. U. The winning of that game was as much to Jimmie then as the fate of the empire to Napoleon.
The feeling of the crowd can be easily judged from the fact that not a cheer greeted the appearance of their favorite. They were past the cheering point. The old professor was leaning far forward, trembling with excitement, the girl with the greek letter pin forgot to chew her gum, Billy, the pharmacic, for once was still while over the face of Jacques, the engineer, there spread
a look of settled gloom. "Can he?" seemed written in the faces of all.
For a moment silence reigned over bleachers, grandstand and field, then, at a signal from Jimmie, Crawson coaching at third and "Sal" on the line at first "opened up." The base runners play away off.
"Strike one," from the umpire.
"Look out," shrieks Crawson as the Cricket fires the ball to third, but Haradin heeding the warning cry turns quickly and slides for the base. It is awfully close.
"Safe," cries the umpire and you can hear the crowd take a breath.
Once more the Cricket wets his fingers and paws the ground.
"Crack," and the ball goes skipping out of the diamond between the second baseman and first and away goes Jimmie running leisurely to first.
"Its a daisy cutter," yells Crawson and Haradin with the terrific yells of the crowd ringing in his ears dashes across the home plate.
The game is won.
Nothing ever heard at L. U., equaled the cheering that followed Jimmie's brilliant hit. No, not even when Springs made his plucky run of ninety yards and made the touch down against I. S. U.
Jimmie's out of school now and is trying to make a safe hit on the game of life. Now and then one of the old boys wanders back to L.U. and relates to the new boys the story of how "Grandstand Jimmie" won his name and the game and the memory of that hero bids fair to last as long as the stone halls of L.U.
"F. STERLING."
A Scene from "The New Woman."
Miss Minerva Smythe, discovered alone in her study. On the table before her numerous philosophical works are scattered.
Minerva soliloquizes: "It is indeed strange how so great a thinker as Kant could have been disturbed in his philosophical abstractions by a group of poplars obscuring the church spire at which he was accustomed to gaze. It is only when this complete disregard for objective
Kansas University Weekly.
39
environments is developed that one is entirely master of himself."
Enter maid: "A note from the modiste, Miss Smythe."
Miss Minerva reads the note and throws it down emphatically.
"What!—impossible to finish my gown for this afternoon! Why, I cannot appear at the Hegelian Society. Wretch! I shall never employ her again."
As maid goes out, in rushes Miss Aspasia Jones, her face drawn with suppressed emotion.
Minerva: "My dear Aspasia, what has happened?"
Aspasia: "Rejected! Rejected! I have proposed to Freddie Youngboy, and oh—it is all off! Why? Because his mama objects to early alliances."
Minerva: My dear girl, do not feel so badly. It may turn out better. Do not be disheartened, you know our dear Browning says:
'Sorrow is vain and despondency sinful.'
I am afraid you have made the wrong move, old girl. Tell me your plays."
Aspasia: "Oh Minerva; I have done everything, from flowers and bon-bons to drives in the park and dinners at Delimonico's. Repudiated! I fear it is entirely his mama who has caused the change. I do not believe Freddie could be so cruel. Dear thing, he looked so pale and sad when he told me. See, I have a last memento—one of my own roses, which he he had in his button-hole." [Kisses it.]
Minerva: "Do not be too depressed. I am going to take Willie DeWinters and his papa to Mrs. Clements-Kinds theatre party this evening. You know Willie and Freddie are such dear friends. I will talk to Willie and do all I can for you. But only think, Aspasia, I was to read a paper on 'Subjective Freedom' at the Hegelian Society this afternoon, and that dreadful Madame DeCleve has not finished my gown. How can I read my paper unless the severe simplicity of my attire carries out my ideas. Impossible! Just fancy reading an article on 'Subjectivism' in anything but a gray."
Aspasia: "You shall have your gown Minerva. Madame is furnishing mine for this evening. All her 'hands' are working on it; but now that Freddie has rejected me, what do I care?" [Tears.]
Minerva: "Oh thanks awfully, Aspasia. I shall have my dress after all; and I promise you I will give Freddie's mama a good talk on the ethics of love this afternoon. That will influence her I am sure. Ethics is her 'long suit,' you know. So cheer up, Aspasia. All will come out well. Don't you remember Leibnitz says that the good needs a foil in order to come out distinctly and to be felt in all its excellence?"
Aspasia and Minerva clasp hands. Curtain. A.R.
Mr. Townsend's Grievance.
Mr. Townsend was in no enviable frame of mind. His only child was seriously ill, his wife was frantic with anxiety, and in consequence (of it all,) he, Robert Townsend, President of Plainville National Bank, and partner in the mercantile firm of Townsend and Sawyer, was compelled to stay at home idling away his time at the busiest season of the year. It would take money out of his pocket, this enforced idleness; it was exceedingly inconsiderate of the child to fall ill at such a time. There was his partner, Mr. Sawyer, fairly rolling in wealth; his children didn't catch the scarlet fever; his wife didn't go sniffling around, her hair disheveled, and eyes red from weeping.
The doctor interruped his gloomy meditations.
"The baby is dying" he said "I can do no more," and he slipped softly out of the room. Mr. Townsend followed him out into the hall.
“Are you going down town, doctor?” he asked.
"Yes," replied the doctor in some surprise.
"Will you order the coffin for me?"
"Certainly, I shall be glad to do anything for you."
“Then wait a moment."
Mr. Townsend ran up stairs, found a tape measure and approached the cradle where the

baby lay, its tiny limbs convulsed in the agony of death. He began measuring the child for its coffin.
"Oh, Robert, dont! dont! You'il kill me!" sobbed his wife.
"Now, Mary, don't take on so," he said in an injured tone, as he proceeded with the measurements. "The doctor's going down town and says he'll order the coffin. It'll save me the trip." G. H. B.

The article "Grandstand Jimmie" in this issue was written by an old K. U. student Lute Stover and appeared in the Kansas Breeze under the assumed name of Frank Sterling. Mr. Stover is the author of numerous stories that have won for him the name of a clever writer.
Prof. Blackmar has a very interesting paper in the July Quarterly on "Experiments in the Solution of the Labor Problem." The treatise contains all the experiments of co-operation work labor. It is avaluable condensation of much that has been derived by a painstaking study of the relation of the labor and capitalist. The Quarterly has several excellent papers by members of the sociology class. Miss Martha Snow has made quite a study of "The Servant Girl Problem," and for A. E. Moody, "The Condition of Packing House Employees." Both articles are well written and are very valuable to sociology.
It may be possible that students have not secured, before coming up to Lawrence, all of the necessary toilet articles they need. We have found from our several years experience that at Raymond's Drug store can be found a complete stock of Hair, Cloth, Tooth and Shoe Brushes at very reasonable prices. We gladly recommend this store to the new students.

Faculty Changes.
There have been some faculty changes. For the first time in the history of the school Chancellor Snow is not here for the opening of the term, but he will arrive in a couple of weeks. Other members of the faculty and instructors are on the ground and everything is in readiness to at once take up the work of instruction. The death of Prof. D. H. Robinson has made changes necessary in that department, and Miss Hannah Oliver has been placed in charge with Miss Agnes Emery as assistant. In the English department Mr. R. D. O'Leary, who has spent the last two years at Harvard, will take Prof. C. G. Dunlap's classes during the absence of the latter in Europe; and Mr. Frank Menet has been made assistant in the department. In Pharmacy Mr. George Wagner comes from the Northwestern University at Chicago to act as assistant in place of Mr. Boyce resigned. Mr. W. H. Whitten, of Great Bend, Ind., will be assistant in Chemistry, Mr. E. C. Franklin having charge of the department while Prof. Bailey is in Europe. Mr. W. B. Brownell begins work with the opening of the fall term as full assistant in the Law school, devoting his whole time to the work. Miss Edith Clark is a new assistant Librarian and Mr. J. H. Engle is a student assistant in the library. With these few changes the faculty remains as it was last year.

Quite a number of new books have been received and placed on the shelves this summer.
Miss Rogers will have charge of the seminary room of History and Sociology and Miss Edith Clarke of the English seminary room.
Everyone is here except Miss Sutliff, who will return about September 20th from the East, where she has been attending the Pi Phi national convention and visiting with friends in New England.
It may be interesting to describe the arrangement of the library. In the reading room, opposite the entrance, is the delivery desk, where the attendants are always ready to assist students in finding the book they want. At either side of the delivery desk are ranged all the best English dictionaries, convenient for reference. At the north side of the room, arranged in a series of drawers, is the card catalogue of the whole library, listed alphabetically, according to both subjects and authors. Beneath are books reserved for special classes, and above are placed the new books as fast as received. On the shelves next the card catalogue is Poole's Index to Periodical Literature and its continuations to date, the "Co-operative" and the "Annual," together with various special indexes and a list of all the bound magazines in the library. The rest of the space is occupied by a multitude of special reference books, "hand-books," atlases and dictionaries, and at the west end are the encyclopedias. On the west wall are two large cases of magazines, and doors open into the Seminary of Sociology and History in the northeast corner, and in the southeast corner into the newspaper room, where there are about two hundred daily and weekly newspapers and a large number of scientific periodicals. Down stairs in the northwest corner is the seminary room of American History, and in the northeast corner is the English seminary. These seminary rooms are only for advanced classes.

labor, and the list of its contributors extends from Chancellor James H. Canfield to Professor Geo. E. Woodberry, formerly of Nebraska University, now of Columbia College, distinguished as poet, author, and biographer of Poe. The magazine is handsomely printed and contains 62 pages of literary matter. The paper is heavy, and the margins are unusually wide, so that the magazine appears almost as large as one of the regular monthlies.
The English Club of the University of Nebraska hopes to make the magazine permanent and to establish it upon a sure footing by interesting in it several other universities as soon as possible, and make it a joint publication. It is probable that the expense and the difficulty of securing a sufficient number of contributions of the requisite high character would be greatly lessened if this could be accomplished. Our own university has been invited through the Department of English to co-operate, and it is hoped that the day may not be far distant when the improvement in the character of our own college journalism may be great enough to warrant us is taking part in some enterprise of this kind, or in establishing one of our own.
It is not proposed that all contributors shall be men like Chancellor Canfield or Professor Woodberry, but that the magazine shall represent the best literary work done in the University of Nebraska, and such other universities as may join in its support. The articles and poems of the first number are for the most part written by students; and while they all have a true literary flavor, the enjoyment of which is materially enhanced by the quality of the paper and the exact proofreading, it is still evident that while there are some among us who write worse, there are others who write as well; and the comparison is by no means discouraging. But the expense and the labor of publishing a purely literary periodical are discouraging, and

Perhaps we may soon feel a disposition to take hold with them, and thus lighten their burden while securing at a minimum risk a distinctive medium of expression for our own best literary work.
Finally, though this article is intended as a review and not as an advertisement, it may not be out of place to state that there are a few copies of the Nebraska Literary Magazine at the University Book Store.

WANTED—A snow storm, or rather, two of them—a small snow-storm at once, to stop this dreadful heat, so that we may prepare ourselves
for the second, which will be a great big Snowstorm coming on the day of the Chancellor's return. We understand that a special committee of University weather-breeders is arranging the latter, and we hope it will be a howling blizzard of enthusiasm, with phenomenal crimson lightning, Rock Chalk thunder and brass band Hail Columbia. Let the storm burst in all its fury at the railroad station as the train pulls in, and then sweep up through the streets of the city like a cyclone, blow Challinor's report over into the raging Kaw, and send a chilling blast after the old Trojan wire-puller of Doniphan county. And it might not be a bad idea to whirl another breeze off to Topeka to lift the scales from the Governor's eyes so he can see what is going on within his own state.
In view of the cowardly, spiteful, malicious and unwarranted attacks made upon the Chancellor this summer by unprincipled politicians of high and low degree, it is especially fitting that the people of the University and of Lawrence should give him a rousing reception upon his return and show the rest of the state that we are united in our support of the Chancellor and in the demand that the Governor put an end to this official slander by his subordinates. Let every one of us be in the "storm center" with a big red ribbon and a mighty yell for F. H. Snow.
THE SIGMA CHIS have leased the Steinberg property in west Lawrence as a chapter house. This makes four fraternities that will this year live in homes of their own, which is certainly a topic for favorable comment and a cause for congratulation as well. The establishment of a chapter house is one of the most promising steps which a fraternity can take. It makes possible a much more complete realization of
52
Kansas University Weekly.
the main object of the fraternity—if the object may be deduced from the name—for it brings the members together to dwell in one family as brothers. If they govern themselves well, they should find their time more pleasantly and at the same time, more profitably spent than in the old way, when they roomed apart, and only met at some down-town hall "to have a good time." The greater intimacy to be secured in the chapter house and the prospect of its extending to something besides fun, should make the benefits all the greater. At the same time, this change increases one of the evils in the existing arrangement at this University. The greater the degree of intimacy between the members of the fraternity, the greater should be their congeniality to one another; and the more carefully this should be ascertained in the case of a proposed member before he is asked to join. But as the matter now stands, the active members of each fraternity, reinforced by all the old members who can come, are early upon the ground, and a grand "rush" is inaugurated to capture all the
new students who appear to be, or are rumored to be "desirable," and within a short time, the most of those who will join at all during their college career are pledged. But how can the bewildered freshman, spending his first week in a strange town, among people whom he has never before met, be in a position to decide who shall be his most intimate companions during the next four years, especially since their influence will extend over the whole course of his future life? And how many of the most astute "rushers" are capable of judging by the cut of a man's clothes or by his casual conversation, what traits of character he will develop upon closer acquaintance? It seems to us that the quarrels due to uncongeniality of members, which periodically disturb the peace of fraternities, are evidence enough that something is wrong. The remedy for this evil lies with the fraternities themselves. Now is the time, while everyone is wearied with the work and worry of "rushing," when some agreement should be reached by which the trouble can be avoided next year.

THE PASSION PLAY AT OBER AMMERGAU.
I.
Ober Ammergau and Its Vow.
Two centuries and a half ago there stood as now there stands—in a level valley almost on the water-shed of the Bavarian Alps, the village of Ober Ammergau, then secluded and unknown. Placed among surroundings of unsurpassed beauty, and watched over by the great white cross on the summit of the Kofel, there was little of lovliness about the town itself. The low houses were either white-plastered, or left of the natural color of the wood, a dark, rich brown; the outer walls being decorated with frescoed scenes from biblical history. There was but one wide street. No two of the narrow lanes which branched off from
this ran parallel to each other, and no house was built with the slightest reference to any other. In short, irregularity had been reduced to an art. Imagine a child's toy village well shaken up, turned out of the box, and set up, each house just where it has fallen, and you have a good idea what it was to be lost in Ober Ammergau. Viewed from a distance, the little hamlet was decidedly picturesque. Drawing nearer, though one still saw quaint and fanciful scenes, one could not but have admitted that, were it not for the fresh mountain air and the clear, sparkling brooks, Ober Ammergau would be unquestionably an unpleasant and unwholesome place of residence.
What Ober Ammergau was in the seventeenth century, it is, practically, today. The frescoes on the houses have been faded in color by the
Kansas University Weekly.
53
rains and frosts of so many seasons, generations of villagers have lived and died, yet the town is little, if any, larger, cleaner, or more attractive now than then. But it can no longer be called secluded and unknown. It has been discussed in many climes and described in many languages. In 1890 thousands of tourists visited the village, and went away with no shade of disappointment on their faces. How has this marvelous change been brought about? Surely not through the death of that miserable Casper Schuchler, only one of the many thousands stricken down with the awful plague that devastated the Tyrol after the Thirty Years' War? Ah! we are apt to forget
"What mighty contests spring from trivial things,"
He was not a malefactor, this Casper Schuchler, although he wrought so much harm. He was a native of Ober Ammergau and the humblest of day-laborers. Feeling the hand of death heavy upon him while at work in a neighboring village, and longing for one more glimpse of wife and little ones, he eluded the vigorous quarantine, and brought the plague to Ober Ammergau. He paid dearly for it, and not he only, but his wife, his children, and all the village. For the curse fell not lightly upon them. When remedies and all human efforts failed to check the scourge in its deadly work, the terrified Ober Ammergauers assembled in the church to pray for divine interference. And to secure recognition and answer from the Father of all, these simple-hearted folks made a vow—a vow to perform, every ten years, the story of the passion of Christ, provided this evil thing which was darkening every home and blighting so many lives might be taken from them. And it was so. After that moment, says the chronicler, there was not one stricken with the plague, even the sick recovering as though by a miracle. From that time dates the Passion Play of today, "the Gospel according to St. Daisenberger." Thus its performance is—or at any rate, was—to these humble villagers a sacred, a holy thing. Whether this spirit of worship has been somewhat modified since the first production of the play, whether the decennial influx of
the great world has in any measure spoiled the simple nature of the Ober Ammergauer, whether a desire for gain has becomes mixed with his ambition to "win fame, please his priest, and honor his God, by playing well some worthy part," these questions will not be discussed here. One day in Ober Ammergau is not sufficient for the study of them.
We spoke, a few lines back, of Daisenberger, the beloved parish priest of Ober Ammergau, who assumed the duties of that office about the middle of this century. He had spent his youth at the monastery of Ettal, only a short distance away, and was known and loved by the people who asked that he might be made their spiritual leader. He had a decided talent for dramatization, he was a zealous, untiring worker, and he possessed that rare gift of inspiring and animating others with his own fervor. He dramatized many biblical stories and trained the Ober Ammergauers to give them well. He "made over" their Passion Play, eliminating every farcical scene, every feature that savored in the least of sacrilege. For the old Passion Play—like the Miracle plays of early fame—was objectionable in many of its aspects. The Devil, for example, played an important part, and often aroused uproarous amusement by his antics. But these things were no more after Daisenberger came to Ober Ammergau. He changed the play in other ways, and added to it largely, introducing throughout tableaux, each one representing some prophecy in the Old Testament, of which the act following was the fulfillment. The chorus also we owe to him, the link, which, curiously enough, connects the play of Ober Ammergau with the old Greek dramas. Led by the choragus, they sing between the acts, explain the tableaux, and rejoice or lament over what is to follow. The music, written by Rochus Dedler, the village schoolmaster, contains much of beauty, and is said at times to resemble in movement Mozart's Masses. The schoolmaster at Ober Ammergau must be a musician, it is a requirement of the position, and it is upon him that devolves the duty of not only of training the chorus, but of drilling

the school-children that they may be able some time to acceptably interpret the Passion Play music.
II.
The Play.
The route commonly followed by tourists to Ober Ammergau goes by way of Munich, and this was the route chosen by our party in the summer of 1890. Leaving Munich, a pleasant ride of three and a half hours brought us to the station of Oberau, where we left the cars and took carriages for Ober Ammergau, about seven miles distant. It is well that the railroad does not reach Ober Ammergau. Although modern engineering could easily surmount the obstacle of the steep grade, yet it is more impressive to climb the mountain over the well built road, and the smoke and din of a railway station would seem strangely out of place in the quaint little town. The old monastery of Ettal, now become a brewery, is a favorite halting place. The chapel, with its wonder-working image of the Virgin, remains unchanged, and is shown to visitors.
Neither the long train we had descended from at Oberau, nor the vehicles seen on the mountain road, though numerous, gave much indication of the croud we found at Ober Ammergau. Fortunately our quarters had been engaged for weeks, and a guide conducted us to the white plastered house of one of the villagers, which, though conspicuously numbered like all the rest, we had considerable difficulty in finding alone on several subsequent occasions. We were shown to a small, neat room with four single beds—one in each corner—and old-time pictures on the walls. A little too near the apartment of the cows, perhaps, but that is not to be resented in Ober Ammergau. Much more important is it to know whether or not one is in the house of one of the play-actors. As these are many, and the inhabitants of the town but few, it is more than likely that one is. We were not long in discovering that our host was the central figure in one of the tableaux; namely, the departure of Tobias. Consoled by this fact for many things, and tired by the afternoon's journey, we soon crept
It was a beautiful Sabbath day, and the view from the front window of the house of Tobias was a pleasant sight to see-if one kept one's eyes above the level of his neighbor's bit of ground. We congratulated each other on the sunshine and clear sky, for half of the large auditorium where we were to spend the day is absolutely without protection from the weather; umbrellas and parasols are not allowed, and, rain or shine, the play goes on; hundreds of people occasionally allowing themselves to be alternately drenched and broiled rather than to miss what is going on before them.
under our several feather-beds, to know no more until the booming of cannon and ringing of bells greeted the dawn of the morning of the Passion Play.
By eight o'clock we were in our places, full of excited anticipation, for that was the appointed hour. The great theatre was full, with the exception of the places of the constitutional laggards that one meets everywhere, and the crowd was as orderly as in any well regulated place of entertainment. The orchestra is hidden from sight under the front of the stage. Before the proscenium arch there is a broad, open space, on each side of which stands the houses of Annas and Caiaphas, and from which two roads—streets of Jerusalem—lead into the background of the stage. The real background is formed by the Bavarian Alps and the cloud-flecked sky above. "How incomparably the effects are, in sunny weather, heightened by this background of mountain and sky, fine distances, and vistas of mountain and meadow, and the canopy of heaven overhead, it is impossible to express."
A few slow, solemn strains from the orchestra, and the chorus enters from the sides and forms a semi-circle between the audience and the curtain. It is composed of twenty-three or four members, including the Choragus, who sing with sweetness and expression, and who form a picture of rare harmony and effectiveness. The costumes are appropriate. "They have dresses of various colors over which a white tunic with gold fringe and a colored mantle are worn." All wear crowns, and the

women have, without exception, long and beautiful hair, which hangs without other restraint. Only once during the play is any change in this costume made. That is just before the crucifixion, when black tunics replace the white ones, to be discarded for the latter before the scene of the ascension.
Having finished their first song of praise and adoration, the chorus divides and draws aside, the curtain rises, and the first tableau, representing the expulsion from Eden, meets our eyes. They are wonderful, these tableaux, in color, in grouping, in motionlessness. Long practice and excellent training of willing subjects has almost brought perfection. It is not true, as guidebooks assert, that no motion can ever be discerned, even with the aid of a glass. A slight trembling of arm or body is quite obvious, occasionally, to the naked eye. But it is true that such occasions are surprisingly rare, and that even little children remain in constrained positions several minutes without apparent movement. Another remarkable feature of the tableaux is the rapidity with which great crowds are handled. In the tableau of the Fall of Manna in the Wilderness, one of the finest in the play, there are more than four hundred persons on the stage. These are moved on and off without noise and in an incredibly short space of time. The only explanation for this is that each one, down to the smallest of the one hundred children, knows exactly his place and position, and assumes it quickly, noiselessly, and without direction.
The first act is the entry into Jerusalem and the cleansing of the Temple, and the first division of the play closes at twelve, with the scene in the Garden of Gethsemane. After an hour's intermission, the seats are filled again, the play recommences, and continues without interruption until about five o'clock. There are in all eighteen acts and twenty-four tableaux. It is the almost universal opinion that the acting of the villagers is beyond comparison. Nearly all that is said or written is in this one vein. The reports and surroundings are impressive, and one comes not only willing to be impressed but impressed in advance. Then there is a
sentiment that this play ought not to be criticised like others. All these things lead to the over-rating of everything by the spectator, and to the exaggeration of reports. But to one who comes to Ober Ammergau determined to judge not by his sympathies or regard for the subject, but on merit alone, the play is remarkable, but not great apart from its surroundings. Yet the beauty and pathos of the gospel story, nearer, dearer, and more real than ever before, stir us deeply; and the nature that can remain unmoved or antagonistic while the lesson of Christ's life and death is so vividly brought out, is not to be envied. Thousands of people, from many different nations, watch that stage with never-flagging interest, for eight long hours; sometimes subjected to the heat of a mid-summer sun, sometimes to chilling rains. But it is not beautiful costumes, nor marvelous tableaux, nor consummate acting, which holds them there. It is the wonderful story, "the story that transformed the world."
The character of Christ is of necessity the most difficult role in the play. "Looking at it either as a rendering of the supernatural, or a portraying of the human Christ, there is apparent at once the well-nigh insurmountable difficulty in the way of actualizing it in any man's conception." Joseph Maier acts the part with a quiet dignity which is never lost from first to last. His voice lacks pathos, perhaps, but his quiet, unimpassioned manner shows something more than dramatic talent and training—love and reverence for the character he is seeking to portrait.
The part of Mary the Mother, is well filled by sweet-voiced Rosa Lang, the daughter of the Burgomaster, who himself, makes a satisfactory Caiaphas. The Apostle John, a young fellow of nineteen or thereabouts, is everybody's favorite. It is said that he will be Joseph Maier's successor—and a worthy one—if the play is repeated in 1900.
And now what has the Passion Play done for us? It has brought us nearer to the human side of Christ. It has made the gospel story "palpitate with actuality." And more than this, it has forced upon us the conclusion that if this

put heart and soul into the rendering of the simplest part. The loftiest ambition of the children, the promised reward of exceptional goodness, is to be allowed to perform some part in the Passion Play.Than to perform this well, life has nothing higher to offer.Says William T. Stead, in his book on the subject: "And perhaps one reason why the Ober Ammergauers have been able to give us the Christ we see this year is because, in their secluded valley they have remained poor and humble in spirit, and have never ceased to remember the story that transformed the world."
That the Ober Ammergauers—simple, unlettered country-folks—can give to the world such a remarkable representation is a wonder and not a wonder. Not only is the performing of the biblical plays written for them by the "Geistlicher Rath" Daisenberger, their only recreation; it is also the outlet for two of the strongest emotions that stir their breasts: love of approbation, and religious zeal. Thus they

Athletics.
Despite the oppressive heat, Coach Cowan has had a lineup and scrub game each day this week. The men have responded liberally to the call for practice, and a thermometer of 90 degrees seems not to dampen the ardor of the foot-ball player. The foot-ball fever is beginning already to exert itself, and the atmosphere of the town is getting lucid with anxiety for terrific skirmishes and noble victories.
While it is early to prophesy as to the make-up of the team, it is the general belief that this year's will be the strongest team Kansas University has ever had.
Of the old players who will be seen in their places when the season begins, or who are working to that end, are Captain Armour, end; Piatt, tackle; Hill, quarter; Griffith and Pope, guards; Hester, half; Wilson, half; Walker, sub. center; Fletcher, sub. half; and Burney, sub. half.
The good work of these men in last year's games will long be remembered, but whether
they will battle on the gridiron again this year, depends on their ability to cope with the new and ambitious fellows. In foot-ball it is business and not sentiment.
Hester is kicking the ball in good fashion. Burney is making a fine record, and whoever beats him out will have to play fast ball all the time. Walker and Fletcher are not playing a little bit like substitutes, and are very much in evidence at each practice. It has been too warm for Piatt, Hill, Pope and Griffith to don the suits, but each is in good condition, and will be out soon.
Of the new men now here, Outland, of Beloit, is the star. He has played two years on the Penn College, Iowa, team. He is a splendid runner, a good dodger, and promises to be a "phenom." Dave McCoy, tackle, shows up well. He weighs 190 pounds, and runs in $ 10 \frac{1}{2}. $ Phillips, of Wichita, has been playing a "fierce" end. He is quick on his feet and a terrific tackler. Smith, of Hiawatha, is looked upon as a clever player. He has been sick and is not now in condition. The Sherman brothers, twins, are big men, and give promise of development. Rogers, of last year's high school team, will be on hand in a few days. If "Shorty" Hamill comes, there will be loud rejoicing in and around the town of Lawrence.
A game will be played with the Midland College, Atchison, on the 26th inst, and Manager Mitchell has arranged for a return game to be played here October 5th.

Seniors in any department of the University are entitled to vote in this meeting.
WILBUR GARDNER, Ed.
Yes, Lysander, we are glad to know you have an ambition to go to college and be somebody. The boy who has no ambition in that direction as a rule is not much good on general principles. If you get down to business and keep up with your classes you will at least get in the most satisfactory part of your life during the next four years. And if you are a boy of good horse sense the experience will do you good, but don't fall in the habit of thinking that only college men are of any account, Lysander, or that the world is waiting for you. It is quite possible that some fellow who spends his time feeding eager-faced swine while you are wrestling with Greek roots and Latin hexameters will have more force and effect in running the politics of his country twenty years from now than you, but he will envy you the advantages of an education after all. The trouble with too many college graduates it seems to us is that they get an idea it is a disgrace to a man who has read the odes of Horace and struggled with Homer's verses and squinted at the stars through a university telescope to get down and root for a living. They want to follow some noble profession, such as the law, but the noble profession is filled with men who have more calls from the man who wants to collect the office rent than they have from clients. And some of these men were just as bright and ambitious when

they started into the Latin grammar as you are now, but they missed their calling and lost their grip on the world. Lucky will it be for you, Lysander, if, after you have taken the regulation amount of Latin and Greek and mathematics into your system, and received a diploma, which you probably won't be able to translate in two years after you leave college, if you find your opportunity and grab it before it is gone by. Opportunity comes, we think, to most men some time. The difference between men is that one man does not know an opportunity when he sees it in the middle of the road, while another man has the nerve and presence of mind to take a quick, firm hold on tail of the first opportunity that comes his way and is yanked by it along the highway of prosperity.

"THE DERBY WINNER."
The Derby Winner, the celebrated racing and comedy drama, will be seen for the first time in this city Monday night, September 23, at the opera house. This great production is from the brilliant pen of Alfred H. Spink, editor of the Sporting News, and builder and manager of the South Side Electric Light Track, the only one in the world. The play shows the different scenes, characters and incidents of life on the race track, and its plot is founded on a true love story. It is the greatest comedy of its character ever produced and made the biggest kind of a hit in its triumphant tour throughout America last season. It was the State Fair attraction at St. Paul and Minneapolis and Omaha, and has the best week of the year at Kansas City, Priests of Pallas week. The Derby Winner is full of high comedy, its specialties are all new, its music bright and catchy, and its action, situations and climaxes of a decidedly interesting and exciting character. It has one of the best companies in America,
including in its ranks such well known artists as Eddie Giguere, the famous little comedian with two voices; Arthur Kherns, the Dutch comedian; Dora Cole; Eunice Ramsey; Frank McDonald; Frederic O'Monde; Billy Eldridge, the best colored actor on the stage; and the bright little soubrette, Viola Arthur, who can ride a bull or a race horse. She is the best lady jockey living. The Derby Winner is the only play having its own race horses. They are owned by Al Spink, and are Old Freeland, La Cigale, Anawan, Flossie, Pat King and All Ablaze. These horses take part in the stable scene and the Derby Day race.
"SINBAD."
There have been extravaganzas and extravaganzas, but never one with a stronger claim upon the patronage of the theatre-going public than "Sinbad," which will be seen at the opera house next Saturday evening. David Henderson, at all times a most liberal manager, has
put Sinbad through a course of rebeautifying until the piece is positively dazzling, and from the rise of the curtain to the last transformation scene entirely new stage effects have been supplied, new ballets introduced, and new music selected and composed. The dresses, over 100 in
number, are entirely new in every design The principal scenes of the four acts are well

Rare Old Bones.
The University expeditions to western Kansas and to the Bad Lands after fossils this summer were very successful. This is true even in a business sense, for the market value of the fossils brought home amounts to several times the cost of the expeditions.
The richest prize unearthed on the Wyoming trip is the skull of a Triceratops, one of the gigantic Ceratopsidae, or horned Dinosaurs. These animals are estimated to have weighed twenty or thirty tons each, and the word gigantic hardly expresses their immense size. The skull alone is over six feet long, four feet broad and three feet thick, and weighed, ready for shipment, twenty-five hundred pounds. When mounted in the museum, it will weigh about fifteen hundred pounds. In shape the skull is broad and flat with immense horns projecting from the forehead. It was found imbedded in limestone with the left side exposed and partially destroyed by the action of the weather. Owing to the hardness of the limestone and the brittleness of the bone, the task of removing the former is a very delicate one, and it will probably take six months to restore and mount the specimen ready for the museum. Only two other specimens have ever been found, and they were discovered a few years ago in the same locality as ours by a party from Yale, which must now share the honor with Kansas.
Some very valuable specimens were also found in western Kansas. Among them were two complete skeletons of an extinct buffalo which was two feet taller than those now living; they are thought to belong to a new species, distinguished from any yet discovered. There was also found a skeleton of the bird with teeth, which is so rare and valuable; it is a very fine specimen—probably the best in the world. Altogether about five tons of fossils were brought in, and Dr. Williston is greatly elated by his success.
Scrubbing Brushes and Paint.
The new superintendent, Mr. T. C. White, has had a number of men at work during the past two months making ready for the opening of school. Besides the usual cleaning up of buildings and grounds, a number of repairs and alterations have been made. The walls in the angles between the wings and the main part of the main building have been repaired and the window frames reset. A stone subway has been constructed for the steam pipes leading to Snow Hall and the main building, so that they may be more easily repaired in case of accident. The furniture and apparatus is nearly all in place in the new Physics Building, and is being kept under lock and key by contractor Holcraft. However, the authorities anticipate little trouble in getting possession of the building whenever it is needed. The rooms in the basement of the main building, made vacant by the removal of the Engineering Department, are being fitted up as laboratories for the Chemistry Department, which is so badly crowded in its own building. The students are also promised one of the rooms as a lunch room. A new showerbath has been erected in the basement of Snow Hall, in the room occupied by the lockers, where it will be very convenient for those using the gymnasium. And, but everyone has seen the finger-marks in that beautiful new paint on the front doors.

Library.
Miss Watson is on duty at the library again after a slight illness of a few days.
A number of valuable works have been added to the department of History and Sociology.
Those stone walks in front of the library aside from their utility, improve very much the appearance of the grounds.
Prof. Hopkin's class in American Literature is a little larger this year than usual and the books on the subject in the English Seminary room, as a consequence, will be almost insufficient for the work.
Among other books just added to the library this fall are: a complete work on Education, in fourteen volumes, a set of forty volumes of Shakespeare's works—reprints by photo-lithographic process of original quarto editions published between the years 1593 and 1634, and four sets of works published in the eighteenth century, one set bearing the date 1724, one 1724, another 1753, and the fourth 1773.
Y. M. C. A. Notes.
The reception for new men given at the city rooms last Friday passed off very pleasantly.
Library hall will be open to all students and members of the faculty Friday evening. This will be the first general gathering of a social nature this year and every body should attend.
College Secretary A. E. Moody addressed the first regular meeting Tuesday afternoon. An effort is being made to make these weekly meetings both pleasant and profitable and we trust that many will find time to enjoy them.
Mr. C. C. Michener of Chicago, one of the international committee and who has supervision of the work in the colleges of the west will be in Lawrence the last of this week. Mr. Michener is a graduate of Penn College, Iowa, and from his long connection with the association's work in colleges will bring to us much that will be of help to our association.

The news of Spencer Humphrey's tragic death in Lawrence Sunday was received with sorrow by many University people. Although he himself was probably little known here, his sisters and his father, Judge Humphry, of Junction City, are well known members of our great University family, and in their sad bereavement they have the heartfelt sympathy of a host of friends here.
CAPTAIN ARMOUR's mishap on the foot-ball field was a great misfortune; but our regret is more for him personally, than because of any effect it may have on the team's chances of success. The leaving of another place on the team in doubt should make the practice all the more diligent and the work of contestants consequently better. Missouri has a famous coach this year and is going to work in great style. But we have beaten them, we can beat them, and we must beat them this year. We must work up such a team that when Thanksgiving comes "Pop" Bliss will be glad he doesn't have to buck against us himself. We want that pennant with three straight games to even up last year's account, and to do it we must work, practice regularly, thoroughly and continually.
A POINTER for the Hutchinson Daily News: Prof. Dyche has been on a picnic excursion to the north pole when he should have been loafing around Lawrence waiting for school to open. As a consequence his classes have lost a week. The fact that he is about the only member of the expedition to bring home anything of value should not be entered in extenuation of his guilt. And again, a man who increases his one talent only ten-fold in three months is probably getting "too high" a salary from the state. "Chally" had better make another trip to Lawrence. While it is an undoubted fact that these scientific expeditions are profitable to the state even from a purely business standpoint, yet after all, the state is too large a body to appreciate its blessings fully. How much better

WILL WHITE, whom every University student admires and looks up to, seems to be trying to tone down his popularity a little. Last week he clothed himself in a gunny sack, sat down in an ash heap under a weeping willow tree and indulged in a brief reverie over the wicked things he used to do when he was serving his apprenticeship on the college papers in preparation for his later brilliant career. We have no doubt the boys did some pretty mean things in the old days (some of the Weekly's pesky, sneaking, would-be rivals do now, for that matter) and the Emporia college papers may have "riled" Will of late, but that is no excuse for his calling us names and saying we are just as bad as he was when he was "sowing the wind," for we probably couldn't be if we tried; we lack
the genius. But he surely wouldn't abolish the college paper! Without it, what would become of the college-bred journalst who is growing so strong in numbers and influence in this state? The game is worth the candle many times over, and our friend White is a living proof of the statement, which can only be overthrown by arguing himself out of existence. We occupy as legitimate a field as the regulation county weekly, and this paper seeks its support in a legitimate business manner and we think the sentiment of the institution favors no deviation from such a policy. Indeed, only this week the students of the Law School tabled a resolution which involved virtual blackmail of the Lawrence merchants. With a little encouragement from our big brother newspapers we can get along and do what is right by them. Of one thing we are sure—it takes about all the money we can scrape together to pay them our bills for printing.
LITERARY.
A Fairview Sensation.
"A very pretty little house, isn't it?" said Mrs. Perry to her companion Mrs. Barton, as she drove leisurely down the shady street. An affirmative nod answered her and she continued "Half the young men in town have, for these last six months been envying Mr. Falconer his pleasant home and charming wife."
"Mrs. Falconer has surely made all her husband's friends her own, and the young people all agreed that her home is the place to have the gayest times. Have you met her sister yet?—what is her name?"
"Ruth Linscott. No, I have only seen her at church. A rather pretty girl, I should say. How happy Mrs. Falconer must be to have her come for the summer. I remember how glad I was to see any of my old acquaintances even, the first year after I was married. One longs for some familiar faces among all the new friends however kindly they may be. There is
Mrs. Kennedy standing at her front door, I must stop and ask about her son." As Mrs. Perry spoke, she turned in from the road toward a rather dilapidated cottage and stopped her horse before it. A woman came quickly down the little walk as if pleased with the chance to talk with them--or as the event proved, to them.
"Yes," she said in answer to Mrs. Perry's question, after greetings had been exchanged, "Tom is getting better. He's up and around in the house today. The doctor says he can go back to work in two weeks. Doctor Thurber is just fine in fevers, aint he? That jelly you sent was the nicest kind. Can't I get your receipt for it? I says to Tom when you sent it, 'there's nothing like having good neighbors.' And, speaking of neighbors, the Falconers are living in pretty fine style seems to me, with their tennis 'courts,' as they call 'em, their hammocks, and piazza chairs all around

the house and yard. Not many young men can stand so much expense all at once. And I'm pretty much much mistaken if Harold Falconer don't begin to see his mistake. His wife dresses pretty fine too, don't she?" Here Mrs. Kennedy paused, for once really expecting an answer to her question. Seeing this, Mrs. Perry replied:
"Mrs. Falconer always dresses in very good taste. That is all I have noticed."
"Well, I've heard that she had two new dresses this spring and another this summer. And you'd think, to see the furniture of their house, that he owned that whole bank of your husband's instead of being only cashier. And I can tell you too, that man aint as happy as he looks, nor as easy in his mind. I despise gossip, but I really feel as if I ought to tell you Mrs. Perry, just between ourselves, that there is trouble in that fine new house. I'm sure of it because several times lately I have heard loud talking and quarreling as I passed the house, and last night as I came by they were at it again and I made out the word 'expenses' from him as if he were as mad as could be. I didn't hear what she answered and then he spoke again and I heard 'fashion' in such a disgusted tone. To think they have only been married six months and quarreling this way! What a warning it must be to that poor sister of hers!"
As she stopped to sigh over this thought Mrs. Perry seized the opportunity to escape from the steam of words which had been pouring forth and drove off. Riding on, the ladies tried, by pleasant chat about other matters, to drive from their minds Mrs. Kennedy's gossip, but the pure pleasure of the morning was gone and Mrs. Barton soon asked to be left at her own home. This Mrs. Perry did and returned home herself.
All day the thought of the two ladies reverted at intervals to the unpleasant suspicion inevitably aroused by the morning's talk. Being high-minded gentlewomen, they did not breathe a syllable of the story to any one. Soon, however, they heard from less scrupulous persons, rumors of the same nature, and guessed that
Mrs. Kennedy had confided her secret to all her acquaintances. Such was the case and the story spread as stories of that sort always do, until the whole town was talking of it. Everybody discovered that they had always suspected the Falconers were "carrying things with a high hand" in fitting up their new home.
Mrs. Falconer received an unusual number of calls for a few days as most people were a little curious to see for themselves if there were any signs of domestic storm. She, however, entertained as pleasantly as usual, thinking that her friends wished to meet her sister, she had no suspicion of the part gossip was playing in their uncommon sociability. Very pretty she looked in her daintily shaded parlor on hot summer afternoons. She formed a most pleasant picture, dressed always in delicate shades of green, gray or blue. Then she never seemed in the least hurried or worried and so diffused around her an atmosphere of restfulness and peacefulness. The suspicion of her guests were allayed while they were under the spell of her influence. After they had left her presence, however, the visitors would remark to each other that Mrs. Falconer "held her head up pretty high" in spite of her troubles, and that she really seemed quite carefree. Naturally enough every caller discovered some new evidence of the extravagance of her hostess, in or about the house, and, wafted by a little zephyr called envy, public sentiment among the ladies veered round in Mr. Falconer's favor. Indeed there were not wanting some to remark that now no doubt he was repenting that he had not "married a Fairview girl who had no high and mighty notions, instead of going clear back to Ohio to get such a wife."
Fairview had few amusements, so, an entertainment to be given by one of the church societies now began quite to absorb the popular interest, "Only local talent," as the village paper said, "would contribute to the entertainment." But as all the people of Fairview and vicinity knew what great ability existed there, it was hoped that a large audience would greet and encourage the performers." The program
70
Kansas University Weekly.
as was announced, was to be chiefly musical. As there was a "chorus of fifty voices," all the musical talent of the village was put in requisition, and almost every family was represented among the singers. Hence the entertainment was an assured success so far as patronage was concerned, and the progress displayed at each rehearsal proved a fruitful topic of conversation at tea-tables. The Falconers and their misunderstandings were almost neglected for the two or three days preceding the great event.
On the very day of the entertainment, however, Mrs. Kennedy came to Mrs. Perry with a face of great concern, but betraying to her ill-concealed satisfaction. "It really seemed my duty," she said, "considering that Mr. Falconer is working in your husband's bank, to tell you what I overheard last night, again. It is just a week, you know, since I heard them quarreling at Falconer's before and understood a few words they said. Well, last night when I went to close one of my front windows which had been left open, I heard loud talking there again and heard him say in a way that really scared me. I'll not be ruined by your extravagance!" Seems to me things must be coming to a pretty bad pass with them for such talk as that. Of course, if there is any danger of their being in debt very much, I think Mr. Perry ought to be warned of the risk—." The speaker's flow of words was here stopped by a warning look from her listener who said coldly.
"Mr. Falconer is the soul of honor I firmly believe and I should have said, of courtesy and kindliness as well, I am immeasurably surprised at what you tell me. You are sure you made no mistake in the words?"
"Yes, I am sure. I heard him as plain as I hear you and crosser than a bear."
"I am very sorry indeed to hear this." Mrs. Perry then closed her lips rather resolutely and her visitor, seeing no prospect of any gossip from her, departed, eager to tell her story to some more responsive listener.
When evening came and the people had crowded the hall, the scene of the evening's entertainment, "to its fullest capacity," two-thirds of them had heard the latest development of the
Falconer case. Would they come that evening? If they did not it would be very evident that the quarrel was serious as everybody else was there. But here they come together looking well-pleased with each other and all the world! No trace of trouble or anxiety on either face!
They took their seats and began to chat quietly and pleasantly with each other and with their neighbors on either side before the curtain rose. Everybody was wondering by that time where Miss Linscott was and why she had not come with her sister. Had she been more deeply affected by the shame of the domestic quarrel than the participants therein, or did she feel her inability to wear so complete a mask as her sister and brother-in-law? These questions received no very satisfactory answers, but there was a general feeling of compassion for the young girl who must hear the contentions which even the neighbors heard.
The chorus sang the opening song and people listened, but with rather divided attention, being intent partly upon the plot of the village drama one scene of which they were viewing that evening. No great enthusiasm was aroused as the program proceeded. The last number on the program was by the chorus, but when the curtain rose the audience was surprised to see the gentleman who had presided all evening standing alone on the stage.
"Ladies and gentlemen," he said, "I have the pleasure of being able to announce now a number which does not appear on your programs. Miss Ruth Linscott has kindly consented to give us a reading from 'The School for Scandal.' Miss Linscott." The young lady, indicated by a slight bow from the gentleman, then advanced from the side of the stage, bowed quickly to the audience, and began with much spirit the first scene in the second act of that delightful comedy. The audience, though taken completely by surprise, yet listened more attentively. for the impersonation was excellent. A sudden smile of comprehension lighted up Mrs. Perry's face as the reader began, and when Miss Linscott read Sir Peter's thundering declaration, "Though

71
my life may be made unhappy by your temper I'll not be ruined by your extravagance," the explanation of the quarreling in the Falconer household flashed over every mind.
When the reading was finished the applause was very hearty, all experiencing a great feeling of relief that this village drama should prove a comedy also. While the young people on the stage were complimenting Miss Linscott, Mrs. Falconer's friends were expressing to her their appreciation of her sister's talent, and asking why it had been kept a secret.
"Ruth had nothing ready when the committee asked her to help them," she explained, but promised to work up something if they would not put it on their programs at all as she might fail them. She worked quite faithfully fully though practicing almost every evening."
Mrs. Kennedy sat just behind Mrs. Falconer and so heard this explanation. As she walked home with Tom she remarked severely; "Young women aint no business screeching and yelling in that foolish way, anyhow."

Athletics.
The past week has brought about a number of changes in the condition of things athletic at the University. The interest is centering around McCook field, and the foot ball team that is to do the honors for Kansas this year. It is in the foot ball ranks that the week has been eventful, and yet unfortunate.
The injury that has befallen Captain Armor, and which will lay him off for the rest of the season is a distressing thing. The fall he received was not a hard one, but the grounds are in poor shape, and it may be that his ankle was turned by stepping in one of the many nasty holes that adorn the field. Armor has been an active figure in the athletic department of the University, as well as a splendid foot ball player, and his retirement is much regretted.
In choosing Piatt to take the captaincy of the team, the Athletic Board made a move which will receive the hearty endorsement of all the students and town people interested in University Athletics. Piatt's energy and determination carry to a successful end anything he undertakes, and every one has confidence in his ability as a foot ball player.
The announcement of Williamson's return will be enthusiastically received. Williamson is not only a brilliant player but he puts life and snap into the game.
And speaking of snap, anyone who has spent a few minutes on McCook field, watching the practice, cannot but be impressed with the rapid way in which the boys go at their work. It is just such energy coupled with constancy that is going to win, and we congratulate ourselves that so far we are winners.
The past few days of favorable weather have brought out more material, old and new. Piatt has been getting into form at tackle, and for a couple of evenings Hill has been in his old position as quarter. Outland was hurt on
Tuesday and will not be out for a few days. His excellent work and genial disposition have made him many friends, and much is expected from him this season. Hester, Burney, Walker and C. Fletcher have all been doing good work. Pope and Griffiths have as yet failed an appearance, and it is sincerely hoped they will decide to come out again. Smith, Simpson, Phillips, Masters, Hess, Kaull and Woigts are all showing up splendidly, and it would be a difficult matter to tell why any of them should not make the first team. Agnew, who played left field last year on the base ball team, has never played foot ball before this year, and has been putting up an excellent game at right end. Kennedy, of last year's High School team, is out for quarter. He weighs only 140 pounds, and is the lightest man who has ever tried for a position on the team. He plays very fast ball all the time. This makes three candidates for quarter—Williamson, Hill and Kennedy.
The following men went to Atchison to play the Midland College: Hester, Woigts, Kaull, Walker, Williamson, Kennedy, Piatt, Fletcher, Smith, Simpson, Agnew, Phillips and Masters.
The result of the game, 28-0 in favor of K. U., has just been received. This looks well for a picked team, don't you think, "Pap" Bliss?
The current report that the team is already made up is the rankest bosh. The members of the team are chosen on their merits, and no other consideration figures for a moment. It is foolish in the extreme for a man to refuse to keep up his practice because someone has told him the team is already picked. Coach Cowan wishes it emphatically understood that faithfulness shall be rewarded.

That Buffalo Party.
Just about noon on Tuesday, the 4th of June, a party of twelve dusty and tired men got off the Sanra Fe train in Chicago. This was the party which was mentioned in the Kansas University WEEKLY of that week as intending to canvass for Jas.M. Davis in Buffalo,N.Y., during the summer.
The members of the party however were not the same as were reported in the papers at that time. They were: O. T. Hester, Jno. B. Thierstein, J. W. Lanning, C. R. Troxel, J. M. Drysdale, S. C. Sweezy, Leroy Beebe, C. Faulkener, W. W. Haworth, V. L. Leighton, C. J. Moore and W. T. Walker.
V. L. Leighton was on his way to Tufts college and the rest of us were going to engage in the stereoscopic business.
We had left Lawrence at 2:55 Monday afternoon via the Santa Fe and had a few hours stopover in Kansas City. After a few hours in Chicago we again took the train and reached Buffalo at about 10 a.m., on Wednesday.
We found in Buffalo M. I. Payne, the general agent of the company, and three other agents. We were later joined there by L. A. Simons, of Lawrence, and five boys from Drake University, Des Moins, Iowa, and still later by three or four from Meadville, Pennsylvania.
We worked in Buffalo with varying success until about the last of July when the greater part of our party went on to Rochester where we remained at work until almost time for school when we came home singly and in squads.
While at Buffalo we enjoyed many a fine sail on Lake Erie and also the pleasure of a trip to that grandest of all sights Niagara. At Rochester, too, there were many fine sights and enjoyments. The Genesee Falls and river, Ontario Beach, and Power's Art Gallery were each one a treat. Indeed during the entire summer we had an enjoyable time such as there is not space here to describe at length.

Gladys Wallis Coming!
Miss Gladys Wallis, who appears here in "Fanchon, the Cricket," is one of those delightful little ladies who possess the rare gift of personal charm. There have not been many ladies upon the English stage who have been thus gifted. Long ago there was Nell Gwyn, and then Peg Woffington, and Kittie Cleve, all different, but alike in this one particular that each possessed the good sense to be simply natural, and being natural, it was in them to be the idols of all who ever saw them. Miss Wallis, it is true, has not as yet attained to the greatness of any of those ladies, who in their time had all London at their feet; she is as yet very young, having only just risen as a star. But she has won such unequivocal success in Chicago and elsewhere since the opening of the present season, that there is no longer any question of her future as an actress in high comedy. In depicting the lighter emotions in all the phases of bright merriment, childish petulance and womanly devotion she is said to show rare ability and power. At the same time she possesses a fund of good, healthful spirit, sometimes restrained, but ever ready to bubble over in the happiest display of rollicking fun.
The play, "Fanchon, the Cricket," tells a pleasing story, as everybody knows who has been familiar with the stage during the past two

or three decades. Clay M. Greene has made some improvements in it in his adaptation, and now it is just a pretty story, almost as light as a song, and full of good, wholesome humor, pleasing romance and delightful pathos. In all of this Miss Wallis is prominent, but not alone. Mr. Frederick Pauling as Landry Barbeaud, shows himself a competent actor, and Mr. R. F. McLannin, in the role of Father Barbeaud, which he originated in the first performance of the play in America as long ago as 1861, is admirable.

Quotations as Quoted.
Foolish things quotations,
Provoking, too, at that;
In certain situations
They appear so awfully flat.
For instance, in a corner,
With only whispers heard,
To say "the more the merrier,"
Is really quite absurd.
If music is the food of love,
And love is also blind,
How can hungry Cupid
A square meal hope to find?
Why, when going to the theatre,
Take a opera glass or two,
If, in your case, distance lends
Enchantment to the view?
Silence, you know, is golden;
All that glitters is not gold;
So the dumb man is the brightest,
And the bright man's in the cold.

If the first fellow misses the smile;
For brevity is the soul of wit,
And a miss is as good as a mile.

Dear friend, this would I ask of you. To simply keep thy youth in view And live again its sunny days
When Summer's days were growing old;
When wintry winds came bleak and cold,
The trees put on their glowing tints
To charm away all boding hints;
And blending with their brown and green,
All Summer's richest shades were seen,
The crimson of the sunset bright,
The golden rays of morning's light;
While 'mid the grasses' brownish hue
The purple aster caught the dew,
And flaming red along the way
The brilliant sumac stood all day
And nodded oft to golden rod,
With cheery, saucy, careless nod.
And Nature's children, all were brave,
To darkening skies defiance gave,
And held the wintry storms at bay
Full many a long and happy day.
