Declaration of Principle.
We sell dry goods and carpets as a matter of business, certainly. But we are not so narrow or so selfish as to have no object in lige. Occupation is but an item in life? If business were all this would be a narrow world.
We mean to give a hundred cents for every dollar we earn. We are willing to give more rather than less." We want your confidence. That is why we say again and again, your money back if goods don't suit.

Running high jump.
Standing high jump.
Pole vault.
Featherweight wrestling.
Light weight wrestling.
Middle weight wrestling.
Bag punching.
Twenty-five yard dash.

As told in the WEEKLY last week, thirty would-be contestants were present at the meeting held a week ago Thursday, to make arrangements. Several others have since handed their names to Manager McKay and it is expected there will in all at least fifty candidates.
Particular interest attaches to the meet this year, because of the track and field meet arranged with the other Kansas colleges, and because too, of the possibility of an interstate meet. The indoor meet will be the first event in the line of this branch of athletics and will give us an opportunity to size up the men in such events as the jumps and the shot put.
Besides it must be remembered that there is a medal for the best all around athlete in the University and points made in the indoor meet count as well as those made at the field meet. Sanderson now holdsthe medal having won it two years in succession.
If rumors may be believed this promises to be the most hotly contested indoor meet of years. Those who have frequented our own gymnasium or Sam Usher's of late, have come back telling of the wonderful jumps of Petticord and Carrol as well as Sanderson, while it is said that Mosse intends going against the world'record in shot put, before the year is out.
It is altogether probable that the scheme adopted two years ago of choosing class captains will be followed again this year. If this is done a cup will be presented to the winning class team. The class team place has many advantages. It brings out more candidates and arouses more enthusiasm than any other method ever adopted.
Much depends upon the Indoor Meet. Close contested events always have their effect upon the following Field Day. Losers and winners alike work hard the former refreshes the latter to hold their reputations. Much, too, depends upon the Meet financially.
The informal discussion by the delegates followed. Dr. Woodruff representing K. U was heartily in favor of the forming of a permanent inter-collegiate organization. He urged the formation of an inter-academic association. He thought that at the first field day a relay race for suitable prizes should be one of the events.
That K. U's track men will have an opportunity to show what they are made of in at least one inter-collegiate track and field meet is now assured. A meeting was held at the Eldridge house on Friday after noon for the purpose of forming an inter-collegiate track association. Delegates were present from the principal colleges of the state.
The meeting was called to order by Mr. McKay of K. U, and Mr.J. J. W. Eby of the college of Ottawa was made temporary chairman.
Mr. Speak of K. U. moved that a track association be formed. The motion was carried and the delegates proceeded with the election of officers for the new organization.
The officers were as follows: President, J. W. Eby, Baptist college, Ottawa; vice president, C. H. Gephart, Washburn college, Topeka; secretary and treasurer, Fred Speak, Kansas university, Lawrence; corresponding secretary, J. T. Bacchus, college of Emporia.
An executive committee consisting of a delegate from each college in the association, and the officers was formed.
A committee of three was appointed by the president to draft a constitution and by laws.
It was decided to hold the first meet of the association on the second Monday in May, and K U. invited the association to hold the meet on McCook field Now that a field meet on McCook field is assured it is very essential that the track be put in shape. Of late years it has been the custom to hold our own annual field meet at the race track, and the cinder track has been allowed to go to waste, "Sall" Walker, who has looked into the matter, says that $10 worth of lumber and about 250 loads of cinders will put the track in good shape. The cinders can be had for the hauling, which will cost about 10 cents a load, or $25 in all.
And here is where the financial importance of the indoor meet comes in. This $53 must be raised from the profits of that event.
On Wednesday afternoon the lecture room of the Physics building was filled to overflowing by students and art lovers to hear Mr. Clark's illustrated Art Talk. The lantern slides shown did not represent any particular school or phase of art, but were taken at random from the galleries of Europe recently visited by Mr. Clark. The pictures shown were the works of the great masters such as Raphael, Michel Angelo, Rubens and Rembrandt. When a picture was thrown upon the screen, Mr. Clark gave an interpretation and a few comments and then allowed his audience to ask him questions about it, so giving the afternoon an informality that a set lecture never has. In this delightful and instructive way about thirty-five of the world's best pictures were shown.
MR. CLARK'S ART TALK.
Those Present Listen to a Very Interesting Lecture.
Mr. Clark says that this first lecture will be followed by others if there is a demand for them. No one who was present Wednesday can have a doubt of the popularity of such a course of art talks. A second one will be announced in a week or two.
Ye Oarsmen Attention.
If the much talked of athletic carnival takes place at Fairmount park this spring, it is not attogher improbable that boat races will be a feature of the meet. The lake at Fairmount affords a very fair course, and it is believed that the proposed boat race would be one of the most popular events We have a splendid course here on the Kaw for the preliminary training of a crew. Indeed it has often been wondered both by outsiders and by those in the university, why boat racing is not a feature of out athletic sports. All those wishing to avail themselves of the boating privileges secured by the Athletic Association, should see Hillard Johnson, who has the matter in charge, at once.
Fifth Weekly Recital
The chapel quartette consisting of J. M. Pierrot and T. H. Gilbert Tenor, and Ed House and Frank House bass, were best liked in Gounod's "Unfold, Ye Partols" from the "Redemption."
The fifth weekly recital was given Wednesday afternoon by Prof. Penny assisted by the chapel quartette. This was by far the best concert of the course. Mr. Penny played with great feeling and all of the numbers were highly appreciated by the large critical audience.
The Processional march by Guiraud and the Communion by Batiste were the most pleasing numbers.
CIVIL ENGINEERING SOCIETY.
The weekly meeting of the society was held as usual. The first half hour was occupied by Mr. Galbreath who explained a process for making ballast. Mr. Galbreath was at one time employed as engineer by a Ballast Manufacturing company and consequently was able to present the matter in a practical manner. The other subject for discussion was, "The Influence of Forests upon the Amount of Rainfall". Mr. Burkholder spoke entertainingly upon this subject for twenty minutes. The society adjourned to meet in one week.

READY FOR MISSOURI.
SIX DEBATERS HARD AT WORK FOR THE PRELIMINARY MARCH II.
Will B) Held in the University Chapel!
Admission Free.
There is nothing like getting started right. K. U. got started right in football, won the first game, played with Missouri, and has not yet lost her prestige. We got started right in debating, and have won two out of three debates with Nebraska. We took a new start in oratory, and won the state contest.
On March 25th we meet Missouri for the first time in debate. For every K. U. student certainly hopes to see us get started right then.
Next Friday night the debaters who will represent Kansas in that debate will be chosen. There are six contestants for this honor, three of whom will be chosen at the preliminary debate to be held in University chapel on that evening. No admission fee will be charged, and the committee confidently expect every loyal supporter of the crimson and blue to be present and urge the boys on so that each may do his best that the right team may be chosen.
The young men contesting for places on the debating team are all strong and experienced speakers.
Mr. B. B. McCall represents the Snow Literary society. Mr. McCall won first place in the Kansas-Nebraska debate at Lincoln in '96. He has been out of the University a year but returned last fall to graduate with the class of '98.
Mr. C: G. Messerly is the other representative of the Snow Leterary. Mr. Messerly is a new man in school, having been principal of the Medicine Lodge high school for the past few years. Like Mr. McCall he will graduate from the school of arts this spring.
The other four contestants are all from the Law school.
Mr. Wm. S. Kretsinger represents the Adelphic. Mr. Kretsinger is a Senior Law although this is his first year in the University. Mr. Kretsinger is a public speaker of no little experience, having taken the stump in the last campaign. At the Kansas Day club banquet in 197 Mr. Kretsinger answered to the honored toast "Kansas" and made a great hit. He is now vice president of the club.
Mr. T. H. Brady of the Junior Law class is the other representative of the Adelphic. Mr. Burdick and Mr. Simpson of the Kent club are both well known in the University. Both were in the Arts school before entering the Law school. Mr. Burdick played on the base-ball teams of '96, and '97, while Mr. Simpson was a substitute on the foot-ball teams of '94 and '95. Both have had several years training in the University debating societies.
It will be seen that this debate will be another contest between the Arts and the Laws from securing at least one represen- Laws. It will be in possible to prevent the tative on the team, but the budding barrister of "Jimmie" Green's department are hopeful of shutting the Arts out altogether.
Choice of sides will be made twenty-four hours before the debate. The three judges have not as yet been selected but the choice will be made early next week by the debaters.
AMUSEMENTS
CAREFUL OPERATIC DETAILS.
The production of Offenbach's masterpiece, "The Grand Duchess," by the Calhoun Opera company this season, will be a revelation in beauty and grandeur. The scenery for the opera was painted by Mr. Thomas Moses, who painted all of the scenery for the late Booth & Barret company, as well as many of the principal attractions of today. The costumes are from the design by Hamilton Bell, and made by Mme Barclay, who was brought to this country by David Henderson to superintend his famous production at the Chicago opera house. The calcium and electrical appliances carried by the company are said to produce marvelous effects in the way of lighting up the beautiful scenery A large orchestra under the direction o Mr. A. Frankenstein adds greatly to the enjoyment of the performance by this sup erb company which will appear at the Bowersock opera house on the evening of

Glee Club Concert March 18
After a rest of two years the University Glee club was reorganized last fall for a holiday tour. The trip was taken during the Christmas holidays and although the boys ran against some small houses in some places, every one who heard them was very much pleased with their entertainment. The program given by the club this year is the best ever attempted by the K U. clubs and that is saying a great deal—even though Will White did say that it was Bum. The club will give its Lawrence concert on March 18th. The greater part of the present students in the University have never heard a glee club concert and now that a chance is offered it is hoped that every student in the U. will turn out and give the boys a big reception when they appear here at home. The papers all over the state have been very free in their praise of the mandolin and banjo playing of Frank H. Robertson, leader of the Banjo and Mandolin clubs in the University. All of the papers claim that he is the finest performer on those instruments in the West. At the opera house on March 18th, he will play the mandolin solo which has been so highly praised; also a banjo solo, while the mandolin club will play his latest composition,
"The U. of K. Two Step." This piece made a big hit wherever it was played.

LAWRENCE, KANSAS, MARCH 5,1898
Dont forget the preliminary Missouri debate Friday night.
From a financial as well as a scholastic point of view, the University Quarterly seems to be a good thing. Push it along.
Thirty-five dollars will put the track at McCook field in good shape. There ought to be enough interest in track athletics here to enable the management to clear that amount on the Indoor Meet.
It may be noted in passing as an indication of increased interest in oratory, that at the State contest, a third member of the faculty was add ad to the two who are habitually present on all occasions.
J. Leeford Brady, of the Lawrence World, says a large part of the audience thought Games, of Baker, should have won first place. Of course they did. There were by actual count two hundred and one wearers of B ker colors present, the two hundred and first being J. Leeford himself.
That McKinley wave of prosperity seems to have struck K. U. The enrollment is larger than ever before, the requirements for admission have been raised, the course of study has been brought up to twentieth century standards' the football team made a remarkable record, and the Glee club a no less remarkable trip. Even the number of "flunks" has been greater than usual, and to cap it all we have won the State Oratory contest.
College Politics.
It is an old time-worn, thread-bare subject, this subject of college politics, but the discussion over it at the recent Press association meeting leads us to make a few remarks. It was there suggested that any discussion of college politics in the college paper should be religiously taboo and national politics substituted in its place. Such a contention, we believe can only arise from a misconception of term college politics and of the college journalism.
College politics in its broader sense is not confined to college elections. It reaches out into every sphere of college activity, and its discussion includes the treatment of all those things which go to make up the college life. Our policy in athletics, in oratory, in debating, are all college political questions. No one thinks of confining the term national politics to national elections, but the nation's treatment of the tariff finance, foreign relations and all other questions of interest to the body politic are rightly considered political questions. We cannot conceive of a live newspaper of general circulation which would refuse to discuss such questions editorially. These questions are live questions and the journal with an editorial page not occupied with them, but filled instead with speculations as the exact location of Mount Aarat, or with learned dissertations on the topography of the moon, would certainly be dry reading if indeed it were read at all. Now the college paper bears the same relation, to college life and the student body, that the metropolitan daily does to the national or municipal life and to the body politic. The secular journal represents the life of the nation and the locality in which it is
published. Its news columns are filled with their doings and its editorial page occupied with the questions of moment to them just so the college paper ought to reflect the life of the institution at which it is published. Its news columns should be occupied with college happenings. Its editorial columns should discuss the questions of policy which occupy the attention of the students. These questions are college political questions most decidedly within the sphere of college journalism.
On the other hand national politics is as much outside our proper sphere as the local government of the planet of Mars is outside the sphere of the secular press.
K. U. Quarterly
A modern university's standing is largely dependant upon the amount and the thoroughness of original research carried on within its walls. That it has been found necessary to divide the scope of the University Quarterly into two parts and make, as it were, two publications out of one, betrays an encouraging amount of original research going on here, and that too in a flattering diversity of lines.
It may be admitted that the same amount of research would be carried on even if there were no Quarterly in which to chronicle its results. The class of men, whose investigations are recorded in the Quarterly, do not carry on their work just for the privilege of seeing their names on the title page of a scientific journal. But this is no argument against the continuation of the Quarterly. It is our good fortune that such work is done here. It is no less to our advantage that the results of such work be published, and that in a journal of our own. We must not hide our light under a bushel.
National and international scientific journals are giving way somewhat to university publications of similar character. Other colleges are realizing the need of gathering together in one series the published labors of their students and professors. This tendency is not entirely due to the desirability of giving publicity to the work of each separate university. This might be called the advertising feature of the university Journal of research. It is also due to the many advantages to be derived from keeping the work of the various departments of each school intact and easy of reference.
For both these reasons the University Quarterly ought to be encouraged.
It is highly desirable that we should have a medium through which to give notice of our best educational work. Indeed this desirability is so apparent, that it is safe to say that the Quarterly has come to stay. It is no less important that it should not be crippled or receive a luke warm support. It will only take a few hundred dollars to insure its regular publication and to make such mechanical improvements as will put the Quarterly where the character of its material should have placed it long ago.

BOOKS AND THINGS
F. Hopkinson Smith is one of the few men who can do many things well. He is a successful engineer—that is his business. In his play hours, he takes his white umbrella and color box to Spain or Mexico and brings back the most charming water colors. Some of his Venetian studies with gay sails against blue skies were at the World's Fair. He invariably tells the story of his Bohemian play days in some delightful book such as "Well Worn Roads" or "A Day at Laguerres." He betrays his artistic tendency in everything that he does. His home in a New York flat, people say, would be a delight to any artist.
Last week in Topeka Mr. Smith appeared in still another role, as the reader of his stories. A tall, city-bred looking gentleman, with iron-gray hair, pushed back union his forehead, and a very military looking mustache; he is forty-five at least, for he has a son who graduated at Princeton two or three years ago, a thing in which Mr. Hopkinson Smith took much pride, for he has always wished that he were a Princeton college man. But to return to his reading in Topeka he began with "Colonel Carter of Caftertsville," in his musical, Virginian voice and graufened up for the reading of "Tom Grogan," and the others. And the same charming personality that is revealed in his writing and drawing was present in his manner of reading.
The February number of the Atlantic contains the last chapters of F. Hopkinson Smith's story "Caleb West." It is not well named "Caleb West," for it tells how a lighthouse was built at Keyport Lodge, on the Massachusetts coast, by Henry Sanford, a young southern living in Ney York. It tells the difficulties and triumphs of the building and gives a look into the lives of those connected with the work. A Maryland major, suh, is brought in contact with the rugged, manly type of seamen of the New England coast in the most delightful way. Major Slocomb arrives at Keyport Ledge just after a boiler explosion on the ship carrying stones to the light house enrockment, and is devotion itself to the injured men. Caleb West's girl wife, Betty, tends another of the injured, and after she has nursed him back to life, runs away with him to New York. She flutters back in a few days, broken-winged and sorrowful, but Caleb West refuses to take her back, saying: "She can't git out love with me, and inter love with Billy, an' back agin to me in a week."
Meanwhile the sturdy men push on the work at the light house in spite of every misfortune. At last the light house is accepted by the government officials and Sanford is content. The story closes when gray haired old Caleb West, moved by a fraternal feeling, resolves Betty into his home again.
This is the barest outline of the story which gives no place to the delightful pictures of Sanford's life, his bachelor friends and his aspiring friendship with Mrs. Serov. There are some thrilling incidents, however, that cannot be passed over, for instance the capsizing of the boat with Captain Joe and Colet and the helpless ag my of those looking on from the light house. This is about the strongest thing Mr. Smith ever wrote.
The character portrayal is vigorous and true. Major Siocomb and Captain Joe are the best of their kind are the remnant of the easy-going south before the war, the other a splendid specimen of the sea-faring man to be found on the New England coast: "Cable West" is a delightful story, full of the picturesque and the pathetic

KANSAS UNIVERSITY QUARTERLY
Mr. Wagner Writes of Its History, Scope
and Needs.
The WEEKLY is in receipt of the following communication from Mr. Wagner, assistant in Pharmacy:
"With the October number, the Kansas University Quarterly completed its sixth volume. It will not be out of place therefore, to say a few words as to its past and future.
The first number was that of July 1892, and since then four numbers a year have regularly appeared. In order to make its volumes co-extensive with the calendar year, vol. 5 was ended with its second number. A further change instituted with the beginning of the 6th volume was the publication of the journal in two series, of which one, A, is devoted to Science, the other, B, to Philology, History and Political Science. The division has proved beneficial in many respects, though it has been difficult once in a while to secure enough matter to fill both series. The difficulty, however, is nothing to complain of, for it is, pernaps, the one universal attribute of journalism.
From the beginning the rule has been to publish only such articles as represented original research. As a consequence, faculty and students, with few exceptions, have come to look upon it as the proper place to publish their work. This again has made the journal indispensable to workers in many lines, and therefore a good means of giving publicity to such discoveries as are made here.
Scientific publications of colleges and universities are usually looked on with suspicion by the older publishing societies, owing to the fact that so many of them have either been discontinued after a short career, or after securing a long list of valuable exchanges by means of a few good scientific articles, have degenerated into a mass of pseudo—scientific hodge—podge, not worth the ink it is printed with.
A few, only a very few, have kept up their merit, and I can say, from a somewhat full knowledge of the case, and with no desire whatever of talking "for Buncombe," that our Quarterly is one of the very best, both scientifically and mechanically.
Now the Quarterly serves a number of very useful purposes. It gives our workers a convenient and adequate medium of publication. It enables all publications of material belonging to this University to be kept together. It gives publicity to the fact that research is an important function of this University. And finally, it secures for the University a large number of exchanges,

which otherwise we would have to dispense with, or purchase for a high price.
This last function, alone, justifies the expenditure of money and of work, which is made upon the Quarterly. Let us compare the expense with the benefit received.
An annual allowance of only $600 is made for the Quarterly. A very strict economy has enabled the publishing board to do a great deal with this, often even without expending it all. The editorial work, proof reading, correspondence, packing and mailing are all done at present without any cost whatever, through the very willing efforts of those who see in the Quarterly "a good thing." And the amount of work expended thus would probably be a surprise to many.
Now as to the other side. By a careful, though still only approximate estimate of Oct. 1, 1897, the publications annually received were valued at $1000 at least. Since then forty new societies have expressed their desire for exchange, and by next October, to judge conservatively, those forty will become one hundred or more. There is every reason to believe that by October, 1899, the Quarterly will have five hundred exchanges, furnishing on an average three dollars worth of matter annually each. Fifteen hundred dollars! Quite a fair return on six hundred It would be very desirable that all investments of the University would show up as favorably.
Of course the estimate is for the future, But whether it will prove true or not is not a matter of chance, but will depend entirely upon the energy of contributors and editorial board. And under Professor Carruth's able lead there is no danger of shirking by the latter.
Now there are a few things the Quarterly yet needs. First of all there should be several hundred alumni of this school who would consent to become subscribers to it. Two dollars is certainly not a very great amount for such a purpose. Secondly, the appropriation by ourorgs should be raised at least to $800, and better to $1,000. This would make possible many mechanical improvements, a more prompt publication, and the securing of some exchanges which are as yet refused to us. And finally, a somewhat larger amount of matter for Series B would make the managing editor "rejoice and be exceeding glad."

Every man has his crazy vanity. The writer's vanity is that he was judge of the State University oratorical contest and picked the winner. The winner of that contest won the state contest. The youth did not have a climax in his piece and at the end said he hoped the "poet's dream" wouldn't come true. The "poet's dream" is a very bad affair and the boy got first place for having sense enough to see it and courage enough to say so. He should win the interstate contest—Emporia Gazette

The Indians are taking advantage of the fine weather and are playing practice games every other evening. A reporter for the Weekly joined in a couple games with the boys last week and found them in splendid condition for this early in the season. The only valuable last year's man that the Indians will loss is Brown, who covered second base. To compensate for him there are at least four men who handle the sphere and stick in a manner which is sure to bring them to the front. Catcher Keelar traveled with a Nebraska team last summer and seems to have profited by his experience. His throw to seco nd is "guilt-edged," as Adrian 'Sherman's.'

FRED FUNSTON ON CUBA.
It was about this time that Col. Funston went to Cuba as a volunteer officer with the "Dauntless" which carried a company of men, 1,300 rifles, two Hotchkiss guns and vast quantities of ammunition. After an exciting chase by a Spanish ship, the expedition landed. Col. Funston graphically described several of the more important battles in which he took part.
In speaking of his trial by a Spanish court-martial on his way home Colone Funston said: "After two hours' investi-gation the court decided that I was probably guilty of being an irreconcilible insurgent, but that they could not prove it. So I had to chose between signing a parole, and lying in prison till the close of the war. It would have done Cuba no good to do the latter, so I signed the parole, and was allowed to go to Havana."
R. S. MAGEE, M. D. Secretary.
A Large Audience Listens to a Stirring Lecture.
GEORGE FOSTER FRESIDENT.
Fred Funston lectured before a large audience at the University last night on Cuba. Col Funston began by telling of the beginning of the insurrection.
"The Cuban army is an organized body of men, not a band of guerrillas," said Colonel Funston. "There are six corps, divided into two divisions; the Department of the Occident, under Garcia, and the Department of the Orient, under Gomez. In each division there are two brigades, in each brigade two regiments, in each regiment two battalions, and in each battalion two companies. There are between 50,000 and 60,000 men now in this army, 15,000 under Garcia, and 40,000 under Gomez."
"After the rebellion of 1878, the Cubans laid down their arms. A treaty was negotiated, and for some time a pretense was made of carrying it out. In a few years the Cubans were infinitely worse off than they were before. They appealed for reform. The Spanish said "wait—wait—wait," until finally the Cubans burned up their petitions and treaties and bought breach-loading rifles and metallic ammunition.
"Marti was the first leader. Then Maceo came from San Domingo, and Gomez from Porto Rico. Since the beginning fifty-two vessels loaded with arms and ammunition have landed their munitions of war in the insurgent's hands. The only vessel captured is the Competitor. There were eight thousand Cubans in the field when Gomez made his march from the east to the west of the island. He marched 700 miles in six weeks, fought thirty-two engagements, and sowed the seeds of rebelion throughout the whole length of the island. Tens of thousands flocked to his standard and soon every rifle which could be obtained was in service. Then more supplies arrived, and an artillery force was organized."
"There has been considerable criticism on our country for non-in interference in Cuban affairs. Some are inclined to blame the president for weakness. I do not criticize the actions of the government up to the present time. But now the time has come. The Spanish will have to leave the island, and the United States might as well assist them off."
In conclusion Colonel Funston said: "The Cubans are winning because they are holding their own. But Cubans have not shed their blood for autonomy—we are fighting for independence!" (Ap-Clause.)

Kansas College Press Association.
Kansas College Fifth Twenty-five delegates and as many visitors were present at the annual convention of the Press Association held the afternoon of the contest.
President McKeever called the convention to order and introduced W. R. Manning of the Baker Orange, who read a paper on "How to Cultivate Genuine College Spirit." The subject was perhaps of more vital interest to those present than that of any other paper prepared for the association. Mr. Manning treated the subject in a terse and suggestive manner. The college paper should, he thought, discuss live topics vitally affecting the every day life of the students. The editor should be independent of faculty, or faction. His treatment of all mooted questions should be impartial and certain discussions, such for instance as those damaging the school should be tabcoed altogether. He should promote scholarship and encourage every college enterprise. Having done all these things he should be intensely patriotic. Mr. Wood of the K. U., Weekly followed on the "Size, choosing, and composition of the staff." Mr. Wood thought these three questions were each to be settled by experience, and determined by local conditions and the character of the paper.
Quite a discussion was provoked by the next paper read by Mr. Thompson of the Cooper Courier on "How to Deal with Politics." Mr. Thompson thought college politics ought to be avoided, while national issues should be impartially treated.
impartively relates
other members thought differently.
Mr. Schoonover of the Washburn Review told of the advantages of the Weekly over the Monthly in point of circulation, news, advertising and general effect.
Mr. Myer of the Western College Magazine spoke briefly of "The Scope of the Association. A close relationship ought to exist, he thought, between its members. Mr. Myers also suggested an advertising bureau in connection with the association.
Illustrating and souvenir editions was entertainingly treated by Mr. White of the Ottawa Campus. The importance of neat and attractive typographical work was particularly touched upon.
Mr. Gould of the Southwestern Collegian thought "religion and athletics should go hand in hand."
This completed the first part of the program. Col O. E. Learnard of the Lawrence Journal was then introduced and made a short, informal address to the delegates. Colonel Learned said in part "No enterprise has made greater progress in the last forty or fifty years than the newspaper. It has become virtually true that we are a nation of newspaper readers, sometimes to our own hurt, as an exclusive intellectual diet. Yet the fact remains that notwithstanding the wonderful growth of newspapers, they do not exercise the potential influence of former years, and this is also true of our public men. The people are coming more and more to do their own thinking, to rely upon their own judgement. They no longer look to the editorial page for opinions but ask for the facts that they may form their own opinion. This is a fututious advance in self reliance.
As to the newspaper itself it may be divided into four departments. First comes the mechanical. This includes not only the typographical work, but the general make up and style of the paper. The general form and appearance in which a paper comes before the public is as important as the taste and style of a woman's dress.
Next comes what in the smaller towns is the most important department, the local. This calls for the exercise of a prentiar genius, attitude and insight.
The third department, the edito rial, is no of so much influence as formerly. Its sphere now is rather educatorial than controlling or dictional. Questions on the editorial should be treated emphatically and fairly.

business department, the soul and substance of the whole enterprise These four departments conjointly make a newspaper, and each must be well and diligently performed. "The same requirements are essential to college journalism Here there is, however, the added responsibility of representing the culture and character of the institution at which the paper is published. College journalism has not always occupied the high position it should. But the college newspaper is progressing. Its work is not a light thing, and the ability, there learning to express one's self well, concisely and cleanly, is an accomplishment of the highest value, and serviceable long after many things learned in the class room have been forgotten."
Three minute discussions on the Finances and the Departments of the college newspaper were then read as follows:

At the conclusion of the program a short business meeting was held. The report of the secretary and treasurer was read and accepted. Miss Guild, as state reporter, reported regular contributions of matter from all except the University. The following officers for the coming year were chosen: G.W. Trout, Ottawa Campus, president; J.B. Baker, Baker Orange, vice president; C.N. Gould, Southwestern Collegian, secretary and treasurer. The Ottawa Campus was selected as the official organ.

A Warm Kecept on.
When a hundred "Bakers" got off of the 2:40 train, last Saturday, they carried a yellow banner on which was written "Games" in large bold letters and before the reception committee had a chance to meet them and extend the hospitality of K. U. and an invitation to the reception to be given them on their arrival by Chancellor Snow, they were met by about a hundred of the K. U. students at the post-office corner, who immediately proceeded to capture the yellow flag. The conflict that ensued blocked the street, a policeman tried to get a hearing but was given no recognition. After about an hour, the tug of war ended, when the K. U. students had succeeded in capturing in small fragments the yellow banner and the crowd dispersed and the visitors wended their way up the hill to the reception, bannerless, with broken canes and torn colors.

A New Lecture by Professor Blake.
Professor Blake has prepared a lecture on "Wireless Telegraph," which will be given on Tuesday evening, March 8th, in music hall. This lecture, which will be illustrated by demonstrations, is the outcome of Hertz's experiments. The subject is attracting widespread attention in Europe and among scientists in this country. No lecture or public experiments have hitherto been given in America. The receiving and sending apparatus will be in different rooms, without connecting wires, and the audience will be greatly interested in the result. Messages will be sent through solid walls and other obstructions without the intervention of wires. Professor Blake has succeeded in overcoming a difficulty heretofore existing, which made it necessary to adjut the transmitter after sending each message. He has made the transmitter automatic in adjustment. The subject commends itself to the public as well as to scientific men, and no one should fail to hear and see Professor Blake's demonstration.
WIRELESS TELEGRAPHY.
The proceeds of the lecture will be given to the Parish Aid society of the Trinity church.
Tickets, 25 cents, may be obtained at W. Bromelsick's 807 Massachusetts street or at the door of music hall on the evening of the lecture, March 7th.

"Shorty" Hammil Member of Board—"K's"
Awarded.
ATHLETIC BOARD.
A meeting of the Athletic board was held Thursday pursuant to a call by Prof. Green, president of the association.
Captain Mose of the '98 foot-ball team reported for Bert Kennedy, captain of the '97 team, that the following men were entitled to the varsity 'K' as provided for by the recent amendment to the constitution: A R. Kennedy, William T. Walker, Nat Foster, Blockberry, Avery, Poorman, E. E. Voighs, Will Games, Hess, Fred Speak and Arthur Mose.
The board then voted to confer the much sought-after "K" upon those reported by Captain Kennedy as entitled to it.
The previous election of Arthur Jackson as foot-ball manager for '98 caused a vacancy in the track athletic committee which was filled by the election of "Shorty" Hamill "96 foot-ball captain to the board as a member of that committee. The meeting then adjourned.
Entomology Bulletin.
The department of Entomology has just published a full treatise upon "Scale Insects Injurious to Orchards," which has received wide notice among scientific and commercial men. Dr. L O. Howard, chief entomologist for the U. S. Department of Agriculture at Washington, and Department of Agriculture of New York state have asked for a number of copies. The expert for agriculture and forestry of the Imperial German Embassy, Washington, D C., having seen a copy pays the publication a high compliment and asks for copies to be sent to Germany. Dr. Otto Lugger, state entomologist of Minnesota, referred the North German Lloyd Steamship company to this University for the most important work upon these insects and their extermination. By request of this company, a number of copies have been sent them. The State Agricultural college of Virginia has asked for a good number for the use of classes.
Prof. Hunter, the author of the treatise, has worked in the laboratory at Cornell University with Prof. Comstock, the highest authority upon scale insects, and since leaving Cornell has paid special attention to this group, in which he is highly proficient.
During the past year Prof. Hunter has by request examined many nurseries and orchards of this state to determine, whether such injurious enemies are present. He has placed his work in print at a very opportunity time and the University as well has gained thereby.
SNOW HALL.
The current number, Vol. 7, No. I, of the Quarterly is out. It is almost entirely a Snow Hall edition and the frontispiece, drawn by Sydney Prentice, is an illustration of some Mossasaurus.
Prof. Dyche left Thursday for a lecture tour in the southeastern part of the state, being at Girard Friday night.
Prof. Barber had his division in Botany I out on the campus Thursday morning
The Journal club met again Wednesday afternoon and Prof. Stevens gave a very interesting talk on "Ueberlander's views on the relation of the position of a nucleus to its functions." The survey plan was taken up again and the organization perfected. The first trip was appointed for today and about fifteen instructors and students expressed their purpose of taking an active part in the work. The character of the work will be individual, each student being given some certain line of work to attend to each trip and being under direct supervision of some one of the instructors. This will be an excellent opportunity for getting information both to the advanced student as well to those who have made no special study of botany. Anyone interested in Biology is invited to assist in the work whether they have made a study of zoology and botany or not as this gives to such a one a splendid chance to study plant and animal life in its native surroundings.

Lawrence,
Kansas,
The WEEKLY has received the following letter from W. O. Johnson, an old K. U. student, called out by the publication of Wa'ter Griffith's letter a few weeks ago:
W. O. Johnson Replies to "Grandma"
Griffith on Starord.
"By an article in the WEEKLY some time ago a letter was published which contained alleged descriptions of Stanford and her students."
The author of the same, Mr. Griffith, is not, and has not been a student here and the take off consequently was never intended to apply to Stanford, but was probably intended for the Hastings Law School.
During my six months' stay here I have found the students very congenial with a fraternal yet democratic spirit. The student body is composed of persons from every section of the country and most of the countries of the world.
The crowd is consequently cosmopolitan in make up. Here one meets the sturdy mountaineer, the energetic Yankee, the congressional southerner, and the wide awake westerner, all on a broad plane of equality.
Kansas though owing to the superior advantages of her State University has a comparatively small representation—only about half a dozen who claim residence in the sunflower state. The same may be said of the young ladies who constitute nearly fifty per cent of the students.
Stanford owing to her youth has many young men on her corps of instructors—men who have been selected on account of their promise ef future rather than for past attainments.
You will please call the attention of the WEEKLY readers to the mistake mentioned above.
Very truly yours
W. O. JOHNSON."

GLEE CLUB
FRIDAY NIGHT.
IT IS ONLY A CROWD OF COLLEGE BOYS, BUT THEY ARE
CAREFULLY CHOSEN AND TRAINED
Most persons have a mistaken idea as to what a college glee club really is. Most of them think that boys who are picked up indiscriminately simply for the good time they can get out of their trips, using the name of glee club as a mere excuse for getting away from home. This is a mistake. Each member of such a club must pass a very thorough examination in his especial line before he becomes a member. In the Glee club in our University this work was done by Prof. Penny for the Glee club proper, and by Abe Robertson for the Mandolin and Banjo clubs. There were almost fifty candidates for places on the different clubs and after much hard work on the part of the directors twenty men were at last chosen. While, of course, the musical ability of those chosen was the first requirement, the records as students and general fitness to represent the University were also taken account of. This was necessary on account of the ungentlemanly conduct of some of the members of former clubs. The club this year visit, ed eighteen towns and in not one of them was heard a complaint or criticism regarding the conduct of the boys, which is a record to be proud of and which will establish a firm foundation for future clubs, a thing which the present one did not have.
Features Of the Program-Personali of the Club.
The mode of picking the men almost necessarily insures the best musicians in the school and these men under the direction of Prof. Penny and Mr. Robertson have reached a state of perfection which is very seldom seen in a college organization. The club this year is composed of three distinct organizations first the Glee club with twelve members, in the Lawrence concert it will be strengthened by several new members making about sixteen members; second the Mandolin club, made up of nine men; third the Banjo club also composed of nine men, quite a number of the men play in both instrumental clubs. The concert to be given here by the club promises to be the society event of the college year. There will be box parties and line parties given by the different college organizations and a reception is to be given the boys after the concert. The program here will consist of numbers by all three of the clubs, solos by Thos. H. Gilbert, and Frank House. Mr. House will sing the solo which he sang at the Philharmonic concert in Kansas City a few weeks ago. Mandolin and banjo solos by Frank H. Robertson. The Mandolin club will also play Mr. Robertson's latest composition, "The U. of K. Two Step," and last but not east, 'the Bursleuse Opera will be given. This is a "take off" on grand opera with full chorus costumes and all necessary effects. The principal parts in the opera were taken by Mr. R. A. Rogers, Mr. Ed House and Mr. Edward Copley.
The members of the different clubs are as follows.
Prof G. B. Penny, director Glee club.
Curtis Osborne, accompanist.
Fred M. Harris, business manger.
Everybody in the University should be
at the opera house on Friday, March 18,
to hear the boys.

From Volunteer Movement Convention at Cleveland.
Mr. Frank Jewett and Miss Lees have returned from the convention of the Volunteer Movement in Cleveland to which they were sent as delegates by the Y. M. C A. and the Y. W. C. A. When seen by a representative of the Weekly Mr. Jewett said of the convention:
Banjos—Frank H. Robertson, John Francis, Jr., Solon Summerfield, John Lee, James McKnight.
'Of the three conventions of its kind the one just recently held was the greatest both in the number of delegates and speakers present and the manifest intensity of the purpose of the gathering. There were present about 1700 delegates, 100 professors, eighty-nine returned missionaries and eighty secretaries of foreign missionary boards. These delegates and speakers represented something like 550 institutions of higher learning in the United States, Canada and Great Britain.
Guitars—Carl L. Cooper, Arthur Williams, Leverett Adams, R. R. Brown
Mandolins—Frank H. Robertson, John M. Lee, George D. Rodgers, C. L. Overlander.

The returned missionaries represented twenty-three different countries.
In the executive report John R. Mott told of the purpose, management and results of the movement. The volunteers preparation, medical, theological, and intellectual; minister's and laymen's responsibilities; the money problem, how to be solved, were made topics of entire sessions. In addition to the mass sessions, sectional conferences on separate countries were held in the afternoons in the various churches in the city. Following the session the agitation of the money question nearly 88,000 for each year for a period of four years was pledged to carry on the work of the movement for the next four years. This is just one half of the estimated amount needed to do what the executive committee and secretaries have in mind must be done."
Among other speakers there it may be of interest to some to know that eloquent and inspiring addresses were given by Robert D. Speer, who has served some time in China, John R Mott, who lately returned from a tour of the world visiting the institutions of learning in the Occident, Levant and Orient, and author of the great book, The Strategic Points in the Worlds Conquest; Frank Brockman of the South, travelling college secretary, Bishop Dudley of Kentucky, Bishop Baldwin of Huron, Bishop Thornton of London, David J. Burritt of New York and Cuthbert Hall of Philadelphia.
On Wednesday at 5, there was a joint meeting of the Y. M. C. A. and Y. W. C. A. to hear the report of the delegates.

Soon to Be Seen on the Hill-Particulars of the Organization.
VOL. VI. NO. 6.
THE COLOR OF A NEW FRATERNITY
The colored aristocracy of the University are planning the organization of a national fraternity. The number of students of African blood in America's institutions of learning is constantly on the increase. There are twenty of them now in this University. George Washington Ellis is the head and front of the movement and he expects to carry the rest of his brethren with him. The opposition to the organization is fast fading away, and before the end of next week it is expected that a charter from the state will have been secured.
A meeting was held Thursday to talk the matter over. At this meeting the opposition gave evidence of having died down and Mr. Ellis announced that in addition to himself, Messrs. G.A Gregg, A Gregg, J.King, McWilliams, and Beck, and Misses Beck, Langsteo and Gregg, were favorable to the movement. The question of a name was discussed at this meeting, and that of Alpha Beta Theta Pi or African Betas, was suggested and considered. The whole question of name, constitution and ritual was finally left until Thursday, when another meeting will be held. At that meeting constitution, ritual name and all will be finally adopted.
Mr. Ellis when approached as to the plan said he thought the organization would certainly be formed. Asked as to the proposed name, he denied that it would be called the Alpha Beta Theta Pi, though he admitted that the name had been talked of. Mr. Ellis did not think it advisable to give the organization a Greek letter name at all.
KRETSINGER FIRST

M'CALL AND SIMPSON ALSO CHOSEN.
An audience of about 150 people heard the preliminary debate at Fraser hall last evening. As is usual on such occasions at the University no preparations had been made and after the audience assembled tables and chairs had to be collected for the debaters.
The judges were Prof. Williston, Rev Rogers and Dr. Dixon.
Resolved, That a national income tax would be a desirable part of our system of taxation.
The question was:
E. H. Brady was the first speaker on the affirmative. His articulation was good. Unfortunately he became confused during his talk, and could not proceed for several seconds!
C. L. Burdick was the first speaker for the negative. His argument was convincing and showed a careful study of the subject. His movements, a little stiff, C. G. Messerly followed for the affirmative. His argument consisted briefly of references to the history of the United States between the years 1830 and 1872. He also cited the countries which successfully employed the tax income.
W. S. Kretsinger, negative, blended oratory and facts together in a pleasing manner. He captured the audience. G. Simpson, affirmative, handled his subject in a matter of fact way. His argument was convincing and his proof positive.
B. B. McCall was the last speaker for the negative. Mr. McCall has been unwell for several weeks, and consequently did not come up to the expectation of the audience. He was the coolest speaker of the evening. Kretsinger, Sampson and McCall were cohesion.
WIRELESS TELEGRAPHY
Prof. Blake Lectures on Th's Interesting Topic.
Last Tuesday evening in Music hall, Prof. Blake gave a popular lecture on Wireless Telegraphy. The lecture is a newly prepared one and had never been delivered before.
Prof. Blake handled the subject in a very interesting manner and fully sustained his reputation for explaining scientific facts, in such a clear way that his listeners can grasp and understand the whole subject matter of his discourse. He began the lecture by stating that it was the common things of life that did not attract attention that light coming from the sun or the electric are light means very little to the ordinary observer, but to the scientist it means a world of hidden phenomena.
The physicist first analyzes white light by means of a prism. He performs various other experiments bearing directly upon the transmission of light and finally asks the question what is the source of this phenomenon and how it is transmitted to the eye? By careful research and experiment he has discovered that certain unknown disturbances set up vibrations in a substance called ether which fills all space and that these vibrations effect the eye. Prof. Blake stated that these vibrations of either varied in intensity and that white light was composed of vibrations numbering 390 million million to 720 million million per second. The lowest number per second representing the ultra red of the spectrum and the highest the ultra violet. Beyond these limits the eye is not affected by the ether quiverings, and it has only been within the last fifty years that man has been able to detect vibrations of a greater or less degree of itensity. Above the ultra violet have lately been discovered the X Rays, while below the ultra red are to be found the Hertzen Rays. The wave lengths of the X Rays are extremely small, while those of the Hertzen Rays are comparatively large. Both these rays have the property of passing through what are ordinarily called opaque substance; the wave length of the former being so small that it is not obstructed by the intervening substance, while those of latter are so large that they apparently force themselves through. It is with the Hertzen Rays that Prof. Blake transmits messages without the use of wires. Wherever a spark is produced by

an ordinary Wimshurst machine the Hertzen Rays are set up. These vibrations travel out in space and if the proper instrument is placed so as to intercept them they can be detected. In this receiving instrument there are set up sympathetic vibrations. (The sympathetic vibration of tunning forles is a parallel case.) By clever devices originated by Prof. Blake the receiver, which is connected up with a relay, battery and sounder, causes the circuit to be closed and the sounders clicks
Prof. Blake was assisted by Mr. Stimpson who performed many pretty experiments illustrating what was said.
The lecture was given under the auspices of the Episcopal church.

The Glee club gives its Lawrence concert Friday night. The boys have been hard at work and the last concert given, the one at Kansas City elicted the highest praise of the press.

The WEEKLY extends congratulations.
extends congratulations
We search in vain among the clippings on the oratorical contest in our yellow contemporary the Baker Orange for the following from the Campbell University Informer: "The Baker Orange seems to be having a spell of indigestion over the decision of the judges at Lawrence. Such an attitude is hardly to be commended. The judges were all honest men and besides, they could only award the honor to one. It is all right to run the picture of a defeated candidate, and to say all the nice things about him that can be thought of. But to run his picture and vilify six representative men of Kansas is hardly in touch with a liberal college spirit."
TRANS-MISSISSI PPI MEET
The University of Nebraska is to be commended for originating and advocating the proposed track meets at the Trans-Mississippi Exposition. Such a plan should meet with favor from all Trans-Mississippi colleges. The large crowds which will throng the exposition grounds insure its financial success. Neither is there any reason why the colleges of this section should not furnish first class sport. We hope to see Kansas develop some good material and take a high rank at this proposed meet. Such a meet will certainly attract much attention and ought to act as a further incentive to individual work. But aside from the individual glory to be secured the prospect of this contest ought to appeal to the heart of every loyal Kansas athlete to do his best. If a Trans-Mississippi meet is to be held, the University of Kansas as one of the leading western colleges should be well represented:
KANSAS UNIVERSITY SHUT OUT.
KANSAS UNIVERSITY IUSTA COURT.
It has come to light that a Kansas Inter-collegiate Tennis association was formed the day of the contest. The greatest secrecy was apparently manifested by the delegates. A backroom in the Eldridge House was secured and the conference carried on in whispered tones less some Kansas University man might learn of the project and ask admission to the tournament. One of the colleges, Ottawa, we understand, desired that Kansas University be represented but the others held up their hands in consternation at the suggestion. Hadn't Kansas University always won every inter-collegiate tennis tournament held? No it never would do to let us in.
We can see no other reason for our exclusion. More than in any other athletic sport, success in tennis depends upon individual work. Team work counts for naught and coaching for but little. Here if in any branch of sport the big college and the little colleges are on a footing of equality. We cannot account for our studied exclusion on any other ground than that of jealous fear of defeat.
"It" Is Dead.
The annual banquet and lolligation of the University Science club, termed the "It," will not, to all appearance, be given this year, as the usual time for the occasion, just after the spring examinations, is already far spent. It has been the custom during previous years for both professors and students to gather for an oyster supper, after which a program of merriment consisting of numerous responses to toasts, comic lectures and an abundance of comic story telling is carried far into the night. The parting after a good time of this sort is always accompanied by the best of friendship among all members of the party, and which proves lasting for time to come.

The time of meeting of the Y, M. C., A. has been changed from Thursday evening to Sunday afternoon at 2:30.

SNOW HALL.
Mr. Charles Schuchert of the United States National Museum and Geological Survey and an authority on brachiopody visited Snow Hall during the week. He is making an inspection of the different museums of the country and was greatly surprised at the excellency of our various collections, being especially impressed with those of the zoological and paleontological departments. He says that the collection of the carboniferous here is superior to that at the National Museum which has heretofore been supposed to be the best in the world. While here he exchanged some Crinoids for some Cambrian fossils and is contemplating some purchases from the entomological department.
Last Saturday seven students and instructors made a sort of preliminary trip for the survey. They explored the Wakarua in the neighborhood of the suspen-
son bridge, and the paleontological students obtained some specimens but it is too early for any work in either botany or zoology. The survey is to begin today when a number of professors and students will take the 10:30 Santa Fe for Lake View where the first work will be done.

That the University has its effect upon the secondary schools and raises their standard, is shown by the fact that this year's catalogue will show a gain in the number of accredited high schools. The number of these schools is now 137 as against 113 last year, a gain of twenty-four. This is exclusive of the accredited academies and it is conservatively estimated that the number of high schools and academies offering full preparatory courses will this year reach 150, a gain of thirty over the largest number heretofore.

FOR FOREIGN LANGUAGE STUDY.
International Correspondence Between
American and European Students.
A circular compiled by German professors has reached the faculty of the university. The aim of the circular is to bring about an international correspondence of students, Germany, France and the United States are to form the league. The aim of this correspondence is an idiomatic study of the three languages and to bring students of various countries each in closer touch with the other. The result of such communications will be invaluable. Following are some extracts from the circular.
"The German student writes French or English, the student of the French or English language writes in the language of his foreign correspondent, and that one returns the letter corrected; at regular intervals each one employs his own language in order that a correspondent may receive from time to time a sample letter in the foreign language. If such a correspondence is regularly continued for several years, the result will doubtless be a considerable benefit to the student in his study of the language. Since the epistolary style resembles colloquial language closely, each would have a splendid opportunity, to more nearly learn the peculiar forms employed in common conversation—those which are very essential to the student of the language, but which are only too often neglected. Moreover there would still be another advantage. The relations formed through the exchange of letters would be especially beneficial if the student went to the foreign country itself, in order to continue his study. The difficulties of the stranger would be much lightened through his acquaintance, and there he would have a welcome and a valuable support which would aid him in his study.
From a higher point of view, there can be non but good results from the relations of people of culture. If students of the three principal languages form acquaintanceships with each other, not only would knowledge of the languages be increased, but common culture also. The political press is unfortunately too often inclined to emphasize that which separates the people and so much the more is the creation of a counter-balance necessary in the interest of good friendships."
A BLOW AT THE CATTLE INDUSTRY.
Chancellor Refuses to Allow the Hollow West of Snow Hall to Be Turned Into a Pasture.
But for the objections raised by Chancellor Snow and the faculty of the botanical department, there could now be seen upon the hillsides of north hollow the finest breeds of cattle browsing about among the weeds
The scheme is the invention of Supt. White and the night watchman. Their idea was to fence in the hollow and pasture their cattle in the enclosure for the purpose of keeping down the weeds. The idea was a little absurd, to be sure, to think that cattle would eat weeds when there was an abundance of grass, but the instigators did not take that into consideration.
R K. Moody soon fell in with the scheme. He thought it would be a splendid thing to have sleek cattle roaming around over the University campus as they do at Manhattan. The objection was raised by Professors Stevens and Barber, not because they were opposed to the promotion of the cattle industry, but because they perform a great many experiments in the hollow and also procure a large number of plants for the various botany classes.
All plans were overthrown, however, when the Chancellor positively refused to allow a cow on the campus.

At the same meeting Prof. Sayre showed the members a sample of some Star Anisseed which resembles the true Anisseed but is poisonous. The last part of the meeting was spent in the review of recent medical and pharmacy publications.
CHEMICAL SEMINARY
At the meeting of the Chemical Seminary on Thursday Prof. Franklin spoke on the very interesting work that has been carried on under the direction of Prof. Neff at the University of Chicago upon divalent carbon. The speaker cited a large number of facts that go to show the plausibility of Prof. Neff's theory, and he showed very conclusively the structure of many organic compounds, and the methods in which many reactions take place can be very much better explained in this way than in any other.
Prof. Sayf is holding classes again after about a week's absence, caused by illness.

Practice Game with Indians Last Latur- day.
A practice game of baseball was played by the team Saturday afternoon with the Indians at Haskell. No attempt was made to play a regular team but all of the candidates were given a few innings. While Dale Gear, who is coaching the team played field for three innings trial. It was the first time the boys had engaged in outdoor practice and considering this fact the game put up was very encouraging to the fans who walked out to the Indian school to see the first game of the season.
Of the new men Ellis, who played first for three innings, and then went behind the bat to catch Peters for the next three, made the most favorable impression. Perhaps the most interest centered in the work of the pitchers. Both Swett and Peter were given a trial for three innings. Both pitched a fairly steady ball and but few safe hits were made off of either. Peter pitched a particularly steady game not giving a single base and striking out several men. Phillips was also given a trial for one inning but this one inning was hardly sufficient to allow his work to be judged. The big score of both sides was largely the result of the rough condition of the ground, which made fast fielding in the infield almost impossible. The game was marred by the injury sustained by Keeler the Indian third baseman whose nose was broken by an ugly bounding grounder. Seven innings were played the final score being 10 toin favor of Kansas University.
Regents Meet Wednesday
The board of regents will meet Wednesday. At that time the board of regents will take action upon the suggestions of the faculty in regard to the proposed changes in the requirements for admission in the course of study. There is little doubt that both suggested changes will be adopted.
At this meeting the usual routine business of the spring meeting is to be transacted. The distribution of funds among the departments will be made. This year however, there will be but $8,000 to disdistribute instead of the usual $100,000, since the legislature of last year took the fixing of salaries into its own hands.
Neither will it be possible to make promotions or additions to the faculty. The regents are forbidden by the recently enacted statute to pay any salaries except those provided for by the act. The attorney general has furthermore given it his opinion that since the regents are denied the right to alter the salaries, they also excluded from changing the titles No assistant or associate professor, need hope for promotion for another year a least.
Sharpe to Return.
Rev. C. M. Sharpe of Illinois, has accepted the pastorate of the Lawrence Christian church. His many University friends will be glad to welcome him back to Lawrence. He graduated with the class of '97, and was very prominent in University work. He was a successful debater in the Kansas-Nebraska debate last year and won the prize for the best essay on "The Moral of Tempest." He also won the Barteaux Literature prize for '97. Hs was elected to the Phi Beta Kappa, and was recognized by all as one the brightest men the University has ever had. The WERKLY rejoices with his many friends on his return to Lawrence.

Sixth Recital.
On Wednesday evening the sixth recital was given by the pupils of the music school. It was a piano recital although the pianists were assisted by Miss Jean Bowersock, violinist, and Miss Myrtle Lawton contralto. The program was slightly shorter than usual but was very well rendered. The first number was a selection arranged for piano and organ and played by Profs. Penny and Preyer. It was an overture to "Coriolanus" by Beethoven. It was a very brilliant piece and very brilliantly executed. Mr. Harold Henry was the second on the program with a very pretty selection by Robert Schumann, entitled "Soaring." He played very clearly and with a great deal of precision. The next number was a march by Victor Hollaender, by Miss Boyles. It was a heavy piece abunding in heavy pull chords. At one part of the piece she seemed to get slightly mixed but when she came to the same thing later in the piece she played it well and ended strong. Miss Lawton's song was very pleasingly rendered. It was entitled "Grass and Roses" and was composed by Bartlett. The fifth number was by Miss Weber. Her selection was "Rordo Brillante" by Karl von Weber and was played well. Miss Fisher's playing was up to her usual high standard. Her piece was a Sherzo from Sarato in B flat minor by Chopin. The final number was a Romance from "Samson and Dehlah" by Saint Saen, arranged for piano, organ and violin and played by Miss Bowersock, Prof. Penny and Prof. Preyer. It was very finely played and enjoyed by the audience.

OUR ANCIENT FOE
MISSOURI UNIVERSITY WILL SEND THREE REPRESENTATIVES.
TO DEBATE FRIDAY NIGHT.
On The Income Tax-Kansas Has the Affirmative.
Affirmative.
"Will Kansas beat Missouri!" No-
ves-well I'll be goldarmed."
For the past years this slogan has sounded on the streets in Kansas City every Thanksgiving day. Now the question repeats itself and is to be answered not on a muddy gridiron at Exposition Park but on the platform in the University chapel, next Friday night at that time will be inaugurated the annual joint debate between the Universities of Missouri and Kansas. Missouri will at that time try to wipe out the string of four defeats in football by winning the first of our contests of intellect. On the other hand it is the confident hope of everyone on Mount Oread from Chancellor Snow to Nate, the janitor, that we may on that occasion show ourselves as skilled in logic and rhetoric as in the use of the Pennsylvania tandem.
The question to be discussed is "Resolved that a national income tax would be a desirable part of our system of taxation." Our team will attempt to prove the affirmative of this proposition while Missouri's representatives will uphold the negative.
Each speaker will have an opening speech of fifteen minutes, and the leader of cach side will in addition have a closing speech of ten minutes. Two judges have been selected. The rules call for three judges, one a resident of Kansas to be selected by President Jesse of Missouri, one a resident of Missouri to be selected by Chancellor Snow the third to be selected by the heads of the two universities jointly. This third judge must live outside either state. The two so far selected are Judge John F. Philips of the U. S. District court at Kansas City and Col. W.S. Rossington of Topeka. The third judge is to be selected.
All the expenses of the debate are to be met by our own debating association. To meet these expenses an admission fee of twenty-five cents will be charged.
The names of Missouri's representatives have not as yet been learned.
The Kansas team, chosen at the preliminary held a weeka go Friday, is composed of Wm. S. Kretsinger, Law, '98, leader, Guy Simpson, Law '98; B. B. McCall, '98
Fourth Organ Recital
On Wednesday afternoon occurred the fourth organ recital and the seventh of the series of recitals given for the benefit of the organ fund. Prof. Penny was assisted by the chapel quartette and Rev. Rogers. The program was good throughout and came fully up to the standard of the recitals thus far given. The first quartette selection was from the sacred oratorio of Saul and was sung in unison. The other selection by the quartette was "Abide With Me" by Hopkins. With the exception of a slight tendency to flat it was well rendered. Mr. Rogers sung a Recitative and Aria from Mendelssohn, Handel's "Largo" and a selection from Purcell's opera founded on Shakespeare's "Tempest." These numbers were much enjoyed by the audience. Mr. Penny's best organ pieces were "Fantasie" by Stainer and Mendelssohn's "War March of the Priests" and "Spring Song." As he was playing the "State March" by Spinney the power was shut off and the organ refused to play. Prof. Penny explained that by the time of the next organ recital the new storage batteries would be in place and we would not be dependent on the engine house for power.
Messrs Beach, Welsh, Baker and Baumgartner were the contestants, and the question was the expedition of applying the British cabinet system to this country.
Snow Debaters for Nebraska Preliminary The Snow Literary held its preliminary for the Kansas-Nebraska debate March 11.

The Inter-Collegiate Amateur Athletic Association of Kansas
A conference was held in Ottawa, Monday, March 14, for the purpose of framing a constitution for the State Inter-Collegial Track association. There were present J. T. Backus from Emporia, J. Whit Eby from Ottawa, Fred Speak from the University of Kansas.
CONSTITUTION AND RULES ADOPTED
It was decided at the meeting that the association should be limited to educational institutions, the charter members being the University of Kansas, college of Emporia, Baker university, Ottawa, Washburn and Midland colleges.
Any educational institution of the state may become a member of the association, upon the approval of the executive board, by signing the constitution and paying an initiation fee of five dollars, charter members being included.
It was also decided to hold at least one field meet of the association annually in August the meet to be held at Lawrence under the auspices of the University of Kansas on May 9, 1898. The following events are to be included in the meet.
Track events:
One hundred yard dash.
Two hundred and twenty yard dash.
Four hundred and forty yard dash.
Eight hundred and eighty yard run.
One mile run.
Two hundred and twenty yard hurdle race.
One hundred and twenty yard hurdle race.
One mile walk
One mile relay race.
Field events:
Putting sixteen pound shot.
Throwing sixteen pound hammer.
Pole vault.
Running broad jump.
Running high jump.
Standing high jump.
Each institution represented to have not more than three contestants in any one event, except in the relay race, in which each institution shall have four representatives. Visiting teams are required to pay all their expenses except in the year 1808, when the University of Kansas shall entertain the members of the various teams while in Lawrence, said teams paying their own railroad fare to and from the city.
A suitable cup is to be given annually to be won by the team obtaining the greatest number of points in the meet, and medals are to be given to the winning contestants in each event. The entire gate receipts, after expenses have been paid, are to be used to purchase these prizes, with the exceptions of 5 per cent of the net receipts which is to go to the local association under whose auspices the meet is held.
The rules adopted by the I A. A. A.A.
to govern all contests.
The same rules in regard to qualifications for members of the different teams were adopted that were adopted by the Kansas L-2 Base Ball league. These are aimed to secure the amateurs tatus of the contesting athletes.
In the year 1898 the University of Kansas is to have entire control of the state meet; in all succeeding years the state association is to have control.
Last Thursday the Civil Engineering society met over in the bacteriological laboratory at Snow hall and listened to a talk by Prof Barber on Bacteria.
Proceedings of Civil Engineering So- cety
In his talk an outline of the nature of these organisms was given, and the importance of their work in breaking down organic tissue into its original components was discussed.
A short description was then given of the methods of bacteriological examination of water, and a plate culture, of a cubic centimeter of water taken from the top in a laboratory mixed with sterilized gelatin, was begun.
clety
Especial attention was paid to the bacteria of the water and the soil.
A new autoclave for sterilization by the application of steam at about 120 degrees centigrade was shown, and its points of superiority over other methods explained.
Under the microscopes about the room were slides containing the bacteria of tuberculosis, of typhoid, of diphtheria, and one slide of live sulphur bacteria.

FOR CUBAN RELIEF.
SUBSCRIPTI NS TO CONTINUE NEXT WEEK
A Mass Meeting Held-Fifty-four Dollars in All Raised for the Kansas City Star's Relief Fund.
K. U., is going to do her share in sending relief to the starving Cubans. Twenty dollars was subscribed by the faculty and sent to the Kansas City Star in the earl's part of the week. At yesterday's mass meeting, cash contributions to the amount of $18.65 and subscriptions amounting to $15.35 were secured
Chancellor Snow called the meeting and presided. He told of the inhuman treatment of Cuban non-combatants by the Spanish. Two hundred thousand of these innocent sufferers compelled to huddle in the cities have already lost their lives. The chancellor told, too, of the efforts of the Kansas City Star for humanity. To the fund the students of Kansas University now have an opportunity to add their mites.
Mr. P. S. Elliot struck a responsive chord when he began by saying he was for peace but also for humanity "There are thousands in Cuba starving to death simply from lack of food." (Laughter and applause.) "That's' just what I mean" (Great applause.). Mr. Elliot closed with a strong plea for money that touched every one present.
Mr. Kretsinger was called upon for a speech. Mr. Kretsinger favored not only relief, but war.
Mr Jackson, being called upon, spoke in the same strain. "Peace has its victories as well as war." Let us loosen the purse strings and rush to the succor of these helpless and oppressed fellow creatures."
The result of the collection has been given. Subscriptions are to be paid at the WEEKLY office. For those not present an opportunity will be given to contribute next week. A box will be placed in the hall into which contributions may be dropped. The amount collected ought to double or treble itself. If every student here would give twenty five cents, we could raise $250, while only an average contribution of ten cents would put $100 to our credit.
AMUSEMENTS.
In these days of trouble about Cuba, possible war with Spain and the 16 to 1 question, not to speak of several weighty municipal questions, the men who can make people laugh are really public benefactors, consequently we feel that we are doing all a favor by advising a visit to the Opera house Wednesday night, where those funny fellows, Monroe and Hart, and their high-class company in "The Gay Matinee Girl," create a perfect whirlwind of laughs and make one forget that he has a care, while the story of the comedy is just interesting enough to keep curiosity alive.

"MERRY MUSIC MAKERS."
The opera house was well filled to hear the Glee club's home concert last night. Fourteen numbers were on the program, but about twice that number were given.
As was to be expected of the most difficult number on the program, Mr. Robertson's perpetual motion solo made the greatest hit and he was thrice recalled
Of course everyone in Lawrence knows of Frank House's singing and his solo last night was no disappointment to his friends.
Ed House and the Glee club in "Predicaments" was perhaps the most acceptably received of the chorus numbers.
The ludicrous burglesque on Grand Opera was decidedly funny and well rendered.
Both clubs acquitted themselves well, the instrumental organizations perhaps having a shade the best of it. Of their numbers the most interest centered in Mr. Robertson's composition, the "U.of K, Two Step."
The program was as follows:
U. of K. Two Step, Robertson, Mandolin club.

Entered at the Lawrence postoffice as second class mail matter.
If you are truly loyal to the erimson and blue show your loyalty by being at the debate Friday.
It is perhaps worthy of remark that much harassed and despised Laws have within the past two weeks carried off the honors in debating and athletics.
There is no lack of incentive for our track stallates this year. The medals to be awarded at the state meet, the proposed trip to the Trans-Mississippi expedition at Omaha, and the All-Western meet at Chicago ought to bring out our best material and if we don't have a good track team it will be either because we haven't the men or because the candidates are to lazy to train systematically and by the way what are these candidates doing now?
The baseball management deserves the greatest praise for its energy. Until this year the team has been compelled to regulate its practice by the state of the weather. If the spring was backward, preliminary practice was delayed. If the weather way sloppy, practice was interrupted. This year manage. Snyder has remedied all this by renting the rink and securing a batting cage. And now comes the possibility of a game with Nebraska our own grounds. To ensure the guaranty demanded, Mr. Snyder has been circulating a subscription paper for an advance sale of tickets. If your name is not written there, hasten to have it there at once.
Kansas vs, Missouri Again
A contest with Missouriairs the blood and arouses the enthusiasm of the ordinary Jayhawkier as does nothing else. Let the familiar "Tiger, Tiger," sound in his ears, or the black and orange banner flaunt in his face, and the Kansan is on his feet in a minute. The same sort of excitement is of course concomitant with every inter-collegiate event, but not to the same degree. There is not the same intense hope of victory and fear of defeat that always accompanies a concept with Missouri. Of course we always like to win, whether from Iowa, Nebraska or Missouri. Yet a victory over the boys from Missouri tastes better and a defeat stings worse than a similar outcome with any other college.
In athletics we have seldom tasted the gall of defeat from our rivals across the line. Four times out of six we have proved the superiority of Kansas brawn, muscle and skill at football. Twice out of as many times have the elusive curves, the faster fielding, and superior stick work of our ball team given us victory over them.
Now for the first time the two universities are to meet on the platform in debate. It is our confident hope that we may show the superiority of good old Kansas stock over Missouri in this the first intellectual contest between the two states.
It will take but little effort on the part of every student in the University to contribute a material share to the hopes for victory. A good crowd will be an inspiration to every speaker on the platform. A more sprinkling of persons scattered here and there in the big audience room acts as a damper upon even the best of speakers. Give the boys the inspira-
dion of your presence, show them that you are interested in their success and you will contribute no mean share to the outcome.
It is time that no loyal supporter of the University ought to need any urging He should be so interested in the success of his college as to go without it. Unfortunately the experience of the past has not shown this dutiful loyalty to our debaters. We hope to see this lethargic lack of interest superseded this year by the right kind of University spirit and enthusiasm. It will be a sad commentary upon our college life, if the expenses of the debate must as usual be met by subscriptions and not from the admission fees.
Ma k t Two Hundred and Fifty!
Every manly American breast is stirred by the Cuban struggle for liberty. Every sympathetic heart is touched by the tens of thousands of innocent non-combatants starving to death in the streets of Cuba, the victims of Spain's barbarous cruelty. Fifty dollars have been raised this week by the students and faculty of our University for the relief of these victimized unfortunates. Let us make it two hundred and fifty. Surely every student in the University can afford twenty cents five for the cause of suffering humanity. A generous subscript for this cause would be more to our credit, than an unbroken line of inter-collegiate victories in any branch of college activity. It would prove that our hearts are in the right place and that the rising generation of Kansas, reared in peace and prosperity, have not lost sight of their own father's fight for liberty, and their own father's stand for humanity,

BALL GAME WITH NEBRASKA
Will Be Scheduled If, Guaranty Can Be Raised
Do you want to see a game with Nebraska?
If so, put down your name and
the number of tickets you will take at 25 cents
each."
This is the straight forward business proposition that the baseball management put to the University public in a paper which is being circulated about the campus, and every loyal student will answer it in the affirmative, and take all the tickets he can use or dispose of to his friends.
Manager Snyder has been negotiating with the Nebraska team for some time relative to a game in Lawrence and has now settled with the team to play here on the 7th of May, provided the sum of $75 can be raised to pay for their railroad and hotel expenses. In order to fix the game positively, however, Mr. Snyder must give a guarantee to Nebraska during the coming week that these expenses will be met.
"Play Nebraska, yes, we will play Nebraska, and not only the University, but the whole town of Lawrence will turn out to see the best team the State University has had for years, give battle royal to the one rival we must vanquish before all others" a prominent lawyer and base ball enthusiast yesterday who was up to Lincoln and saw the football game there last fall.
"We will show them," said he, "that the ritique of the Kansas University ball field is not the etiquette of the prize ring, and that in victory or defeat, a fair and chivalrous spirit pervades our school, and is in evidence with the athletic grounds as well as within the college walls."
The treasury being empty the manager has thought best to consult the students and the business men before closing the deal.
Speaking of the proposed game to a reporter for the WEEKLY Professor Adams said:
"The getting of a game with Nebraska down here on McCook field I think is a good idea. I am sure the faculty will be heartily in favor of it, and although the extremely low admission of 25 cents for such a contest between two state universities will make it difficult to pay the

expenses. I think the amount can be raised. A game with Nebraska now would be timely, and could not help being popular." Professor Adams further expressed himself as pleased with the outlook of the home team for the coming season.

Base Ball Notes.
An inter fraternity league is in process of formation, several agreements were reached during the week but each has proved unsatisfactory to some of the organizations. It is expected that arrangements will be closed shortly and that the tans will be given a repetition of the very enjoyable if not skillful society games of last year.
Manager Suyder wishes to announce to all candidates that in the choosing of this year's team especial attention will be paid to base running and sliding. He also says that men who are not down on the field for regular practice will not receive consideration for a place on the team.
The grounds have been rolled and dragged, and are now in fair shape. Last year the home diamond was the worst, without exception, of any the team played on in Kansas, Nebraska or Missouri.
Quite a few students have shown their enthusiasm and loyalty this week by going down to McCook to watch the practice.
A game has been arranged with the Emporia Normal for May 20. The schedule league game with Washburn will be played the following day, May 21, en route home. The Emporia Normal, it will be remembered, defeated the Illinois State normal last year in two consecutive games played at Emporia. Manager Rhodes of the normal says that his boys will repeat the act this year in the two games to come off at Bloomington. May 19.
The boys from down Clay Center way, otherwise known as "the fellows from the short grass country," are getting up a team and announce that they will is on be ready to meet any boarding club nine in the U.
"Base Ball Fingers" are quite the thing at this juncture of the season; Gear and Ellis have set the pace.
THE EXAMPLE TH+Y SET.
How the Faculty Don't Attend College's Events in a Body.
A WEEKLY reporter has kept tab on the number of professors who have been present at the recent University events, and the result is anything but gratifying. Some professors have been giving as their excuse for not attending athletic events, that they were interested in oratory, and debate, and others that they did not care for debate but were interested in athletics.
At the preliminary for the Kansas-Missouri debate, seven professors were present, two from the law school, two from the school of fine arts, and three from the school of arts. Each of the latter three acted in some official capacity.
At the indoor meet, three professors in all were present. The Friday morning before the meet, one of the professors was heard to ask what the attraction was for the following Saturday night. When he heard that it was the indoor meet he inquired where it was to take place. Does he take the WEEKLY?
As a result of this lack of interest, the preliminary debate was all but a failure. A small audience, a poorly lighted and heated room is not conducive to good debate.
Students to progress in athletics or oratory must have the hearty co-operation of the faculty.
The body of students will be interested where its professors lead.
The small audience sat in a sort of lethargy. What few were present were there not to encourage, but to criticise. The debaters could make no effect upon them. Real jokes were followed by no applause and the contestants had to resort to the dryest of statistics. One of the debaters said he never addressed such an audience, even at a political meeting in a country school house, in rainy weather. A few more such audiences and oratory will be a tradition in the history of the University.
The attendance at the indoor meet was also small. Suppose that, instead of three, fifty-four professors had been present the attendance would have been perceptibly increased, and the contestants would have been inspired to greater efforts. More records would have been broken and the reputation of the University improved.
The boys dislike to entertain the thought that our instructors are narrow minded.

that their books and their salaries are their sole attractions, but the interest they manifest in other matters connected with the school is the only thing by which the y can judge.
If they are poorly informed as to the time and place of the various events it is their own fault. The WREKLY always announces them and the bulletins are displayed in the halls.
The WEEKLY, of course, has to report all the news—that's its business—but no credit is reflected on the University when it is announced that a mass meeting was held to "create enthusiasm" just before some event, such as an oratorial contest or a baseball game. Instead of a latent enthusiasm, we would see a lively interest always manifested.
Furthermore, is it right for any member of the faculty to say that he is interested in athletics and not debate? We do not think so. A professor should be in close touch with the students Their interests should be his interests. Simply because he has no particular liking for athletics is no reason why he should not encourage it, at least, with his presence.
The WEEKLY respectfully announces that the time for the track meet, for base ball games, for the Kansas- Missouri debate, is approaching. With spring why not a reformation of faculty?

"J. A. FARRELL BASE-BART'TONE."
An Eastern Comment on a University of Kansas Professor.
Mr. Farrell has recently returned from study abroad, this being his third visit to Europe for purposes of study. He sang for the writer "Allah," Chadwick; "Thy Beaming Eyes," MacDowell; "Quaff With Me." Shields. The external range, sympathetic quality of the voice, the style and dignified personal appearance of this singer are most unusual and impressive. He is a widely educated singer, a violinist, a pianist, linguist, all these things have developed in him a breadth and muscianly quality sadly sacking in most singers. Farrell will make his mark—N, Y. Musical Courier
A Library Comedy
Prof. Farrell arrived in Lawrence this week and has resumed his classes in violin and voice at the Music school.
Those in the library reading room on Friday morning of last week were treated to an interesting little bit of by-play behind the librarians railing. One of the popular assistants, a charming little lady, was ushering a gentleman visitor, a distinguished alumnus of the University into Miss Watson's private office. The librarian was slightly in advance of the visitor and had just reached the door, when Miss Watson saw them coming and hastened to open the door. The fair assistant was at the moment just in the act of taking a step forward and her head came into sharp contact with the door. The recoil threw her back—but she didn't fall to the floor. The visitor caught her as neatly as if the whole scene had been carefully rehearsed by a high class theatrical company.

The University Biological club is maintaining its large attendance. Last Wednesday the club was favored with one of Prof. Dyche's characteristic talks, his subject being "The Seaside Laboratory of Hopkins University." His remarks were illustrated liberally with laboratory material. However those present missed a rare treat on account of a little slip on the part of Dr. Williston's memory, who was to have given a paper on the derivation of scientific names from Greek and Latin.
During Prof. Dyche's talk a discussion of the sea cucumber came up and this is the difference between it and the ordinary garden cucumber: The former "spits up its works" and then grows new "works," while with the latter when it "spits up its works" the "works" grow new cucumbers.

BOOKS AND THINGS
The last number of the Chap Book appears with new type and smooth paper. The change takes away from the antique look of the Chap Book page, but it makes the magazine conform more nearly to the modern ideal of what a magazine should be.
The Chap Book first appeared as a 16 mo pamphlet done on rough paper with ancient type and rubrics, and sold for 5 cents. It was published by Stone & Kimball, two young Harvard men, who had received their training on college magazines. Since that time the magazine has been enlarged in every way until it is now a recognized force, especially in the criticism of current literature.
The Kansas City star has been railing a good deal lately at what it calls "Eastern Provincialism." A long editorial called "Offensive Patronage" was called forth a few days ago by F. Hopkinson's Smith's saying that it was highly creditable for such a western city as Kansas City to appreciate "Quo Vadis." The Star was also quite disgusted to find that the Boston Evening Transcript has just discovered Miss Florence Snow, the Kansas poetess, in her book of Sonnets, "The Stamp of Gold," published two years ago.
We notice that H. Foster Jones has compiled a neat little pamphlet for the use of his Eighteenth Century classes. It consists of questions on Gosse's History of Eighteenth Century Literature, together with an extensive outline of a lecture on The Dream of the Restoration, Topics on the Beginnings of the Novel in English Literature, and Topics for Essays and Reports in Eighteenth Century Literature. These are of especial interest to those taking Gosse, but the pamphlet also contains a complete scheme for the Analysis of Poetry and some suggestions for the scansion of English Poetry, which are valuable to any one who wishes to take up the study of poetry either alone or under an instructor.
It is very well for us Westerners to rail at our eastern friends, but not all of us can afford to do it. Lawrence for instance, for here we are not reading what our eastern friends are writing. Last month the books most called for all over the United States were, besides "Quo Vadis," "Hugh Wynne" and "The Story of an Unfortold Love." These books are not brand new, but not only have we not read them in Lawrence, but there is no place in town where they nor any others of the comparatively new books can be bought.
Oldest in the State.
"The Story of an Untold Love" seems to have more friends among the men readers of fiction than any story for a long time. Women do not always ke it, but the genuine heroism of Rudolph setting himself to work at such a tremendous task as he attempts, at the same time carrying his burden of love and grief makes a direct appeal to the manly breast.
"The Book of Wealth" by Huber Howe Bancroft, cost $2,500. It concerns itself with what wealth has done for people in the way of developing themselves and others. It takes its example from both antiquity and modern times, Alexander and Astor, Ramesses and Rothschild

LAWS MEET
THEY ARE VERY INDIGNANT AT
What Is Consid-red the Unreasonable Demand of the Disciplinary Committee-Regents Present.
What means this unusual stir in the Law school? What means this consultation of battalions of law students with the disciplinary committee in the University carpenter shop? These animated groups of boys talking excitedly, shaking their heads, and wearing set, determined looks upon their faces? What means finally this enthusiastic joint meeting of Juniors and Seniors?
It is all over a chair, not the chair of a new professorship, not even a professor's chair, but a common, hard-bottomed wooden chair. One day last week a prominent Senior started to sit down in the now famous chair. One or two of his friends thought as the chair was weak it might be better if the prominent Senior should sit on the floor instead. Consequently they tried to pull the chair out from under him. The prominent Senior was equally determined to stay on the chair. The chair broke and took it to the carpenter shop.
That chair was, figuratively speaking, the last straw. Some half dozen or more chairs—Superintendent White says a hun dred had been broken in this way before. Some half dozen others had fallen to pieces from old age.
But to return to our chair or to the remains of it, Superinlendant White was mad. He siezed a part of the broken chair as evidence, and then sought out the disciplinary committee with blood in his eye.
The disciplinary, in turn sought out the boys but not with blood in their eyes. The committee always keeps too cool for that. The committee proceeded to tell the boys what an absolutely Lawless set they were, how they were constantly disturbing the other classes in Fraser hall—all three members of the committee by the way have no classes in Fraser hall and are only occasional visitors in that building—and how heinous a crime they had committed. Finally they said the amount of damage must be made good. If this were not done, all sorts of dire calamities were predicted from wholesale suspensions to the closing up of the whole Law school.
At last the committee after a consulta
tion with the president of the two classes decided to ask for a joint meeting of the two classes to appoint a committee to confer with the disciplinary committee.
The joint meeting was called to order,
and President Sherman of the Seniors presided, President Sherman said that Supertendent White placed the damage at $50. This outrageous figure made the boys mad.
Some eight or ten fiery speeches were then made, "Millions for defense but not one cent for tribute" was the burden of their song. The whole thing was branded as an attempt to bulldoze the Law school into paying for old chairs, fallen to pieces, from old age.
During most of this time the regents were in the back part of the room. They had come to learn the sentiment of the boys and they had learned it. The boys in front finally caught sight of them and called on Regent Scott for a speech. Senator Scott found it was rather dangerous to get up on a chair where all could see him, but was finally induced to do so on condition that the boys would hold the chair together, So with three boys holding the chair he made from this perilous platform, a characteristic speech. Speaking in a personal capacity Senator Scott said with the falsest trace of sarcasm in his voice and just the slightest suspicion of 'joshing' in his words, that he had no doubt the boys were right even in their most extreme position, but speaking officially he advised them to be reasonable.
Regent Crowell was called for and spoke in the highest terms of the school.
The committee asked for was finally appointed and the meeting adjourned.
A reporter for THE WEEKLY took advantage of the hull succeeding the meeting to visit the basement and survey the wreck of "560" worth of broken chairs.
On the floor were the scattered remains of three or four chairs which were certainly in a state of total collapse. One of these was the chair which gave way under Prof. Olin one day this week. In a corner was a pile of disabled chairs, most of which with a little glue and a few nails could be made as good as they were the first of the year.
And this was all that could be seen of that wholesale wreckage claimed by the worthy superintendent of grounds and buildings. Evidently fully ninety-five of the supposed hundred have been used for kindling wood.
WHAT THE COMMITTEE FOUND.
Mr. White Comes Down on His Figureeer. The committee appointed by the Laws to meet the disciplinary committee meet with Superintendent White to assess the damage.
Mr. White came down from his $50 estimate to $23.05 when forced to come to specific items.
This recession from yesterday's exorbitant charge, put a different phase on matters and there is no doubt that the boys will settle in full by private subscription, notwithstanding that part of the charge is for natural wear and tear and for ordinary repairs.
Rescued from a Muddy Fate.
It was midnight in the little town of Eudora. The night was dark and cloudy and the road was a mass of thick and sticky mud A horse and buggy were driven out of the door of the village livery stable. Within were a couple and on his breast he shield the shield and sword of Pi Delta Theta, while she wore the arrow of Pi Beta Phi pinned her dress. Slowly the horse picked his way through the sea of mud. The world seemed filled with a mucky cloud of darkness; which the eagle eye of the youth could not pierce. They had hardly passed the limits of the town when suddenly the horse seemed to disappear and the buggy plunged into the depths of a deep ditch.
But the brave youth did not lose his presence of mind. With firm hand he gathered up the lines, and after speaking words of encouragement to his companion, urged the horse forward: The plucky animal put forth a great effort, and struggled up the opposite side of the ditch. But still upward and upward the poor horse was compelled to climb. The ditch was left far below them but before them rose the steep ascent.
Rescued from a Muddy Fate.
Finally the summit of the hill was reached and there they paused. Visions of deep precipices flashed through the brain of the youth and he felt that a typographical investigation was neces sary. Hardly had he left the buggy for that purpose when he heard the sweet slivery voice of his companion calling pathetically C—1. C—1. At the sound of that voice he could do nothing but obey. She would not let him leave her and yet they dared not drive further. Then our hero lifted up his voice in the still night air and like a trumpet call it startled the lively men in the valley below, as they prepared to retire. Like life savers three men, a lantern and two dogs set out to the assistance of the lost pair.
And, Fate in her kind dispensations had so willed it that one of the brave rescuers they obtained deep geographical knowledge of that particular cow pasture in his youth when he drove the family cow homeward in the evening. By his kink assistance the horse was led to a road securely fenced on either side and leading directly home.

Good Material Shows Itself-The Winners
A new record in the shot put, in the standing broad jump, and in the standing high jump is not half bad for the first meet of the year. Former University records in these events were broken at the indoor meet last Saturday night, and in addition a record established in the standing high kick.
The shot put record was broken by Mosse who put the big iron ball thirty-six feet four inches, just one foot over Hamill's record made in '93. Both the standing jumps were broken by Petticord, and the standing kick record was established here for the first time by Powell who kicked seven feet eight inches.
All the events were closely contested and the audience seemed well pleased with the character of the sport. The wrestling matches as usual called forth much interest and applause, while after it was known that Mosse and Petticard had broken the records in the shot put and the jumps, each additional inch was greeted with enthusiasm.
The star of the meet was Petticord a junior Law, who, besides breaking two records, took three firsts and three seconds out of six entries. Indeed it was a great night for the Law school athletes who won seven breaks against, six by the representatives of all other schools combined the two record breakers also being Laws.
The following are the results.

Hitch kick, Petticoat first, Rench second eight feet four inches.

Dr. Drwulf also gave an exhibition shot put of thirty-seven feet, six inches and Van Meter gave a very clever exhibition of bag punching.
There were only two drawbacks to the meet the large number of entries scratched and the small crowd present. The way in which the Meet was handled reflects great credit upon the management which is to be especially praised for the distribution of programs over the city as an advertisement and for the form of the program as well.
The form 'shown by the contestants was also encouraging to those who hope to see a good track team here this spring. The poorest 'showing was made in the running high jump, but this is accounted for by the slipping of the mats.
Prof. Cowan, Dr. Woodruff and Dale Gear acted as referees.

And feed all he could.
