ANNUAL ORATORICAL CONTEST.
SHERMAN G ELLIOTT CARRIES OFF THE FIRST PLACE.
Large Audecge Present and Much Enthusiasm Shown.
The annual oratorical contest was held in Frazer Hall Wednesday night, to determine who should represent the University at the state oratorical contest at Ottawa. February 24.
Although but two students had entered the contest, much interest was aroused, and when the University band had ceased playing, the chapel was filled with students' and townspeople. The two contestants Mr. Rose and Mr. Elliott, were greeted with great applause, and intense enthusiasm was manifested by those present, as each brought out some good thought or striking point.
Sherman G. Elliott carried off the laurels, the subject of his oration is "What of the Future?"
Each received much courage and help by the size of the audience. During the time preceding the contest and while awaiting the decision of the judges the University band held the attention of the audience.
The oratorical part of the program was diversified by a vocal solo by Miss Stemm of the Fine Art department.
C. E. Rose took for the subject of his oration "The Power of Ideas." His language was excellent and he spoke in clear, ringing tone, which could be distinctly heard in all parts of the room. The oration was replete with many beautiful thoughts and it attested the ability of the writer.
Sherman G. Elliott, a brother of P. S. Elliott who brought honor and laurels to K. U. last year by winning the state oratorical contest, has much of the fire and eloquence of his brother. His oration "What of the Future," is desired to win first place at Ottawa. Mr. Elliott not only receives the honor of representing the University at the state contest, but he received greater honor in receiving a higher marking over so worthy an opponent as Mr. Rose. He spoke in clear and measured tones, and his perloids were well chosen, showing a skillful handling of his subject. The oration deals with a current and popular subject of the new policy of the United States and received much applause from the audience. His thoughts were to the point, beautiful and rounded into harmony with each other.
The judges on thought and composition were Thos. Doren, F. D. Coburn and A. W. Dana; and on delivery Prof. Dunlap, Prof. O'Leary, and Clarence Hall.
The contest will go on record as one of the most successful since the foundation of the oratorial association. The large audience attests the awakening in this line of study.
The summary of the weather report for January, taken by Chancellor Snow, shows mean temperature of 29.57 degrees. The highest temperature was 60 degrees and the lowest was 7 degrees below zero. There were four inches of snow during the month, three fogs and a precipitation of 42 inches. 44.67 per cent of the sky was cloudy, there being but two entirely clear days and six entirely cloudy.
Four staid and dignified seniors appeared in caps and gowns at the contest.
Weather for Januarv.
The attendance of professors at the contest was normal.
Arrangements have been partially completed for games with Missouri and Nebraska.
At the meeting Tuesday twelve or thirteen candidates were present and signed up for positions.
Base Ball.
So far the candidates for the outfield outnumber those for all other positions, the center field being in special demand.
The fine new Fowler shops will be opened to students next Monday, and next week there will be about forty advanced students working on the laths and about forty freshmen working at the forges.

FOWLER HALL NOTES.
Assignments have been posted on the bulletin board in the main building.
Some of the advanced students will be set at work remedeling the old plower and ath es which were in the fire.
The number of students having increased in the last few years necessitates four extra lathes, which have been ordered.
The new milling machine has not yet arrived, but is expected now at any time, and will be set up immediately upon its arrival.
Fred Stone and Bert Cluster have finished moving and setting up the testing laboratory machinery.
The marble switch board was shipped from Vermont January 20, and will arrive soon.
The machinists under the direction and supervision of F. E. Ward have been working on the old one hundred and fifty four horse power engine, which was in the fire, all fall and the department deserves a great deal of credit for its industry and for its work in regard to this engine. The machine has been set up and tested and found to be in just as good order as it ever was. When warm weather comes it will be sand-papered, repainted an polished.

A set of new forging tools are expected daily.
The committee on interstate Debate having been asked by Missouri for an in interpretation of the words, "British colonial policy" has sent the following statement to Columbia:
It is well worth any students time to spend a half day in the Fowler shops as they are a model of neatness, beauty and are the best shop in the west.
Interstate Debate.
"Question, --Resolved, that the United States should adopt the British colonial policy in the government of its recent acquisitions, Hawaii, Porto Rico and Philippines."
Interpretation—Officially British colonies are divided into three classes (see Brit. vol. 1, 160) and the colonial policy of Great Britain is to advance one colony from a lower class to a higher one as soon as circumstances justify a larger degree of self government. But they are never to be allowed an equal representation and a vote in the house government."
The time for the preliminary contest was fixed for March 3. The debaters selected to represent the different organizations at the preliminary are: E. H. McMath and W. J. Baumgartner for Snow society; J. H. Carr and Mr. Hyatt, for Adelphic society; P. D. Baker and Mr. McChan, for minor debating clubs; E. H. Brady and J. A. Andrews, for the Law school; L. Lyons and O. J. Lane, for the Kent club and J. W. Shepard, for the Art school.
The Adelphic.
Notwithstanding the cold and disagreeable evening a good sized crowd assembled in the Adelphic rooms Saturday night, January 28th. The meeting was set aside for the contest to choose debaters for the final Kansas-Missouri debate, but owing to the coldness of the room and the non-appearance of two of the judges, the debate was postponed until Monday night. The evening was spent in a short impromptu program. After the installation of the new president, Oscar Lane, Miss Root gave a recitation and Mr. Burton delivered an impersonation. This was followed by a debate upon "Woman's Suffrage," Messrs. Hyatt and Belcher. defending and Messrs. Decker and Benson opposing the right of women to vote. Each speaker was limited to three minutes. The decision was left to the ladies, who refused to make known their opinions upon the argument.
The department of taxidermy has just finished a fine harp seal. It is the largest seal now mounted and is one of the finest specimens brought back by Prof. Dyche. The next seal to be mounted is the ugzug seal, which is about 10 feet long.
Prof. Dyche's class in advanced zoology now occupies the cat room of Prof. Williston. The department can probably do much better work in the absence of the ball room music and the stentorian commands of Mrs. McCollam Smith.
K. U.'S FIRST GAME.
PLAYED AT KANSAS CITY FRIDAY.
Score 16 to 5 in Favor of Kansas City.
At 3:50 Friday afternoon the Kansas University Basket Ball team left Lawrence to play their first scheduled game of the season with the Y. M. C. A. Basket Ball队 of Kansas City, Mo
The Kansas boys were hospitably entertained by the Y. M. C. A., and everything that could be done for them was done.
The score would seem to represent that the game was a one-sided affair. On the contrary it was a splendid exhibition of basketball.
The chief characteristic of the Y. M. C. A. playing was that whenever any one of them got the ball, they threw for a goal. K. U. undoubtedly played a more scientific game as they worked the ball to the basket and then tried for a goal. Our goal throwing was nothing phenominal.
K. U should not feel discouraged, but encouraged over the showing they made in their initial game.
K. U. was handicapped by the fact that the baskets of the Y M.C. A. club were fast tended to the wall while those which the K. U. boys were accustomed to play with were about twelve feet from the wall. The game abounded in brilliant plays and from time to time the plays brought forth tremendous applause from the audience.
THE GAME IN DETAIL—FIRST HALF.
The game was called promptly at 8:45 with Kansas at the south goal. The regulation twenty minute halves were played.
After one minute of play, owing to a foul, Sutton threw a goal. The playing from this time was exceedingly fast. The Y. M. C. A after three minutes play threw a field goal. Sutton made one of the most sensational plays of the game one minute later. The ball was thrown to him and he rolled it for three yards. He was viciously beset by two Y. M. C. A. men and bending backward he threw the ball fully twelve yards and got a goal. The cheering at this good play was loud and long.
Jesse James, the young man who has lately come into prominence by his alleged connection with the recent train robberies in Missouri, at this time played a rough, and at times, a very ungentleman game. He was cautioned and punished by the referee several times during the game. During the next ten minutes the Y. M. C. A. made a scratch goal, and the half closed with the score Y. M. C., A., 4 K. U., 3.
SECOND HALF
During the first half of this half, K. U. braced up and outplayed the Y. M C.A. Henderson and Bowen distinguished themselves by their clever rolling and Sutton seemed to be everywhere at the same time. K. U. threw a field goal.
The latter half of this half was characterized by the number of fouls committed. Ashley distinguished himself by throwing a field goal fifteen yards away. The Y. M. C. A. made four points from fouls and eight from field goals during the last ten minutes play. The game was finished at 9-45. Final score Y, M. C. A; 16; K, U. 5. Line up.

Basket Ball Game,
There will be a game of basket ball at the skating rink next Friday night between Kansas University and the Topeka basket ball team.
A good game is expected as Topeka's coach, Caswell of 23rd St. New York Y. M. C. A. basketball team played on that team, which has never been defeated.
Vol. VII. No.18.
The students should all come out and encourage one of the best and most scientific games in the world.
The Masque.
The Masque met last Monday evening with Prof. Penny. After the transaction of business and the adoption of the new constitution, the club was very pleasantly entertained by Mrs. Penny. A special meeting was called for next Monday evening. This will be the annual meeting for the election of officers.
SCHOOL OF FINE ARTS.
Professor Preyer went to St. Louis the 8th to hear M. Rofenthal.
A number of new students have registered in the Fire Arts department for the new quarter.
Miss Geneve Lichtenwalter has been invited to play in Kansas City, February 15th.
Professor Farrel has returned from Kansas City where he assisted Mr. Edward Kreiser in an organ recital Thursday evening. His violin solos were highly appreciated.
Miss L. Dickinson, who has been having trouble with her eyes, went to Kansas City Thursday to consult an occultist.
Several of the faculty accompanied by a number of music students attended Madame Barreno's recital at Kansas City January 27. All report a fine time and the concert an excellent one.
The Pipe Organ tickets are now on sale.
The first recital will be given Tuesday evening, February 14. It is to be hoped that the citizens and students will show their appreciation of Prof. Penny's uniting efforts, to make these recitals a success.
The Spinsters' Convention.
The time for regular Y. W C. A. prayer meeting has been changed from Wednesday evening at 5 o'clock to Tuesday evening at the same hour. The change has been made to accommodate a number of the young women who have physical culture on Tuesday.
Such an aggregation of old maids as had never before been seen in Lawrence greeted a crowded house Thursday night. Their appearance was a decided success in every respect. Prof. Abe Levy's wonderful invention certainly leaves nothing to be desired, and can even effect the wonder demanded by the candidate whose chief desire was to be a Phi Psi—like Willie Cockins.
The musical and elocutionary numbers were charmingly rendered and in themselves constituted a concert or no mean merit. The whole idea was a novel one and was certainly well carried out, reflecting great credit on the ability of those who took part and on the ladies of the Presbyterian church who have had the management of it and who have worked thus hard to raise money for the new church.
Those taking part were Misses May Gardner, Ida Smith, Erna Barteldes, Kate Nicholson, Katherine Addison, Zillah Smith, Allie Rohe, Grace Poff, Gertrude Becker, Mame Addison, Ota Nicholson, Frances Barker, Jessamine Connelly, Mary Riddle, Lillie Cahill, Anna Rankin, Mame Tisdale, Ella Russell, Belle Ross, Miss Leedy, Miss Saum, Alberta, Winneck, Ethel Connellly, Mrs, O'Brien Cecil Stanford, Virgine McCrory, Bonnie Bell, Myrtle Lawton, Abbie Noyes, Franklin Baker, Abe Levy, Hugh Megs, Rob Manley.
Y. W. C. A. NOTES.
The prayer meeting next Tuesday will be led by Mrs. Cora McCollum Smith.
Miss True, state secretary of the Y. M. C. A., was expected to visit the association this week. As she was unable to be here, the meeting was led by the president, Miss Henderson.

LAWRENCE, KAN., FEB. 4, 1899.
The officers of the Kansas University WEEKLY beg leave to submit this issue of the paper as their first effort. They also wish to thank the stockholders for their support in the recent election. With the united support of the Kansas University professors and students, they will try to make the paper one of which those connected with the University may well be proud.
The object of this paper will be to uphold everything which will be of benefit to the University, while its motto will be "The champion of the interests of Kansas University."
In another column will be found the prospectus of a series of ten entertainments to be given by the University extending over a period of four months. This series of educational entertainments is entirely different from anything herefore given. The series consists of lectures and concerts, and each number is given by someone connected with the university. They are unique in that they are all historica and are illustrated by the use of lantern slides. The first number, is a song recital by Mr. Joseph Farrell, assisted by the music department of the fine arts school. Seven of the numbers are given by Prof. Penny, and are illustrative of the history of church architecture and church music, showing their process from the early temples and music of Abraham's day to the present cathedral and cathedral music. Professor Burdiet of the Law school, will deliver a lecture on ancient and modern Rome, and Professor Carruth, head of the German department, will lecture on "The Mestersingers." Professor Penny, in his series of lecture-concerts, will be assisted by some of the leading musicians of the state among them. Whiteside of Hutchinson, Mr. Farrell, Mr. Preyer and Mr.Van Dahlenh of Topea. This course of ten entertainments has been placed in the reach of all students by the nominal price of $1.00 for the entire series. The educational value alone of these concerts and lectures will be many times in excess of the price of the tickets, while the pleasure they will afford should counteract all cost. As there has been no lecture course here this winter, this should be taken advantage of by the students and should receive their most hearty support. Much smaller colleges are supporting, successfully, lecture courses, and why not Kansas University do the same?
The oratorical contest was held Wednesday evening in the University chapel, and there was one discouraging feature about it. There should have been more candidates for the honor of representing our great University in the state oratorical contest. The contestants had splendid orations and Mr. Elliott will go to Ottawa backed by a strong delegation of students that will cheer him on to victory. But more students should have availed themselves af the opportunity to train themselves in speaking, and in writing orations. It is of great importance to be able to speak and write well and this can only be attained by practice. Let us not become so engrossed in our studies that we will neglect this important part of our education.
We are glad to see basket ball come to the front in our University Athletics. It is a game which has great possibilities
for giving the student body exercise and takes a place which none of our other athletic sports can fill. Let the faculty students continue to give the game their strong support, and it will be a great benefit to the students and an honor to the University.
The Athletic Association on adopting the new constitution saw fit to re-open the sale of shares, and hopes the students will take advantage of the opportunity to buy season tickets, and at the same time swell the funds of the association.

Moot Court
Prof. Burdick of the Law school called the two classes together on Friday, January 13th, at 2 o'clock in the east law room, for the purpose of organizing a moot court.
Regular court officers were elected and Prof. Burdick was made judge in order to insure more interest in the work. At the next meeting a week later, in the same place, Prof. Burdick took the time to give the students a very interesting and beneficial lecture on procedure.
At the next meeting which was held yesterday, a case was tried which proved to be of great benefit to all present and which gave assurance of great things coming from the work.

NEMESIS.
Where a cannibal monarch held sway,
Once a Freshman was wrecked on as African coast
And they served up that Freshman is slices on toast.
On the eve of that very same day.
But the vengeance of heaven followed swift on the act
And before the next morning was seen,
By the cholera morbus that tribe was attacked,
For that Freshman was dreadfully green.

In India occultism had its modern, as it had its aboriginal home. Most of the material afterwards gathered into the Bible, had its place in India lore a thousand years or more before Christ. So mode rn theosophy, which has furnished such a delightfully amusing theme in "My Friend from India," is but a survival of the ancient theory of the transmigration of souls, and the correlative theory of the ability of mankind to elevate himself to godship without the aid of a superior being—in other words to lift himself to Heaven by his own bootstraps.
OPERA HOUSE, FEI. 7
One of the most distinguished orders of theosophy in India is "The Order of the Yellow Robe." It is a branch composed of those who have attained a knowledge beyond the ken of ordinary mortals, its members perform no labor, but go about attired in yellow robes, worn, some think, like the Roman toga, and carry a towel on one arm and a yellow bowl in one hand. The latter is for the reception of food "chipped in" by the general public for the support of this class. It is this which has given the basis of practically inexhaustible humor to "My Friend from India," which will be presented by the Smyth & Rice company at the opera house, February 7, '99.
The company in support of these stars is composed of some of the best known exponents of the legitimate and classical drama in this country among whom are the veteran actors, John A. Ellsler, Frank Henning, Mary Timberman, Marie Drofnah, John Milton, Augustus Maclean, George Morton, Paul O. Taylor, Richard Buhler and James Joung.
The new triple star alliance, including Mr. R. D. McLean, Miss Odette Tyler and Mr. Charles B. Hanford, which has been organized for the purpose of presenting Shakepearean and other standard plays on an elaborate scale, will appear at the Bowersock opera house on Thursday next. All the stars are well known to the theatre going public as artists of the first rank and all the plays to be presented by them will be staged and costumed regardless of cost. Each will be a production n itself with special scenery and historically correct costumes. Mr. R. D. McLean of the organization, while having been in retirement for some time past, has had unlimited experience in classic repertoire; and, was last seen in this city in leading support and as co-star of the late Marie Prescott. He starred in the south for six years, being very successful; and is credited with having done the largest business in some of the southern cities ever known or ever done by any star in the same line of work. Mr. McLean has been in retirement for several seasons, during which time he has devoted much attention to studying the male classic roles of the stage, particularly those in which he will appear during the present tour. He is a very wealthy man, and believes the only way in which to revive Shakespeare is to make a grand production of every play that is to be presented, and this he fully intends to do.
Miss Odette Tyler is the lady star of this strong organization. This charming lady has been for many seasons one of the strong attractions with the Frohman successes, and has been a great favorite not only with New York audiences, but those also of London, where she has played many successful engagements, her last appearance on any stage being in that city as Caroline Mitford in William Gillette's successful play, "Secret Service." Since that time, Miss Tyler has been in retirement; in fact, had made up her mind not to return to the stage again; but the glare of the footlights and the theatre has too much fascination for her, and after being away from it eighteen months made her re-entire at Macauley's theatre on December 8th. Her work will be watched with much interest, as she now assumes roles that are quite new to her. She is now making what may be termed her classic debut, as she is gratifying her great desire to play Juliet, Portia and Desdemona. There is, perhaps, no actor better known to the legitimate and classic drama than Charles B. Hanford, the other member of the combination. For the past fifteen years, he has been identified with all the great stars of our times—Edwin Booth, Lawrence Barret, Madame Mojeska, Julia Martowe, and many others of the same standing. He has also starred at the head of his own company. His last appearance in this city was as co-star and manager of the late Thomas W. Keene. Mr. Hanford has always enjoyed the reputation of being considered the finest reader of blank verse on the American stage. He will be seen here during the forthcoming engagement as Mercutio in Romeo and Juliet the play chosen for the engagement in this city.

A favorite place in Mr. Cable's programs is occupied by a Creole song, "His sympathetic adaptability is marvelous, and the musical quality of his ringing voice is in perfect accord with his mental flexibility. The music and feeling in the songs themselves, so far as we might venture to classify things so rare and strange, seemed to be a curiously-mingled medley of French troubadour grace and wild, African fervor, illusion-producing, haunting, evanescent, yet unforgettable. They made one for the moment forget one was in prosac Boston. --The Boston Transcript. Helectures at the Methodist church Monday evening, Feb. 6. Subject "The Story Teller and his Art."

George Washington Cable
Was born in New Orleans, La. Oct. 12, 1844; served in the war in the Fourth Regiment Mississippi Cavalry, C. S. A., and until his thirtieth year occupied commercial position of trust and responsibility in his native city. At that time he devoted himself to literature and has published "Old Creole Days," "The Grandissimes," "Madame Delpine," "The Creoles of Louisiana," "Dr. Sevier," "The Silent South," "Bonavement," "The Negro Question," "Strange, True Stories of Louisiana," "John March, Southerner," and many statistical, economic, literary and religious essays not yet gathered into book form. For the last twelve years he has been a reader of his own works before appreciative audiences from Maine to California, having travelled for this purpose nearly 150,000 miles. The demands of the business have led him to change his residence from New Orleans to Northampton, Massachusetts. Mr. Cable's "Readings" are not read from the manuscript or printed page, but are dramatic renditions of scenes from his stories. His date for Lawrence on his western tour is Monday evening, February 6, at the Methodist church. Tickets at Y. M. C. A., 937 Massachusetts street.

A Practical Illustration.
This is the story of a practical young man—Mr. William Waterman Jones; lawyer, let's call him—and his ideal, a practical young woman. How long these two young people had been practical does not matter. The young lady—it wouldn't do to call her Smith, so let's make it, or her rather, Miss Daisy Bellemont—who was a very handsome, modest and unassuming girl, wonderful to relate, had once been queen of society in a co-ed, school she had attended. This fact was known to Jones, but undismayed he had chosen her, in his mind only, as the ideal wife of a lawyer. Did I call this a story? Well, it is only an episode in their story, which by the way is the usual old, old story and too dry to tell.
William Jones had himself once attended the University of his native state, Kanonado. The University of Kanorado consisted, to the outward view, of six stone buildings on a hill. The school was the pride of Kawville, and Kawville is a stationary town of several thousand inhabitants, a poor excuse of a court house, a public park, an opera house and several miles of shady streets.
While Jones was attending Kanorado University he rocomed for a college year (nine months) with Mr. Bert Hewitt, a man much admired and hated in college circles, because his collars were rather taller, his coat tails rather longer, his cavatrait rather more spotted and his college fraternity pin rather more' bejeweled than the collars, coat tails, cravats and college fraternity pins of his class-mates, most of whom hailed from Idora, Uttawa and some of the smaller towns in the western part of Kanorado.
Jones and Hewitt had been brothers in an oath-locked organization, and they had been fraternal in more than name, although not at all of the same pattern.
Hewitt had been the "society man" of the college town. He brought with him, even as a Freshman, a certain ease of manner, a captivating confidence in himself and the knack of sympathizing with women—which qualities helped to create an increasing demand for him at all dances, and also in all the front parlors of Kawville, although some of these front parlers were supposedly preempted by members of rival "frats."
He distributed his smiles, his singing and his whispered compliments with impartiality. He waltzed, he two-steped and even talked of the german. He was the first who dared to escort a pretty barb girl to a "frat hop."
The young ladies of Kanorado University and Kawville were entranced. The plodding students who lacked wardrobe and graces of courtliness snarled at him and wrote bitter paragraphs for the University paper. But Jones and the other brothers of the fraternity applauded him manfully, for did he not carry dismay into the camp of every enemy and win new trophies for the best of Greek letter societies?
Mr. Hewett might have continued to brighten the better side of life in Kawville, had he devoted less time to dancing and more to logarithms. The young man had no heart for work while there were young women to be cheered and uplifted. He was not popular with the faculty, which issued him red cards, and at last 'Bertie' had to go back to Kansas City, taking with him two trunks, a suit case, a mandolin, a bundle of sticks, and, it is needless to add, many photographs of pretty girls in leaning and yearning attitudes.
Jones, too, finally returned to his home in the state capital. He and Hewitt had exchanged a few letters and each became a memory to the other, until one day, who should walk into his office and up to Jone's desk but Bert Hewitt, almost as rosy and youthful and fully as good to look upon as when the "barbarians" of Kawville had cursed him as a "purty boy."
No need to say Jones shock his hand and held it and shock it again, and laughed in mere childishness at the sight of "Old Hew."
Hewitt, having claimed a vacation from his father's business house, was on his way to California. What more natural than that Jones should take charge of him while in the town for a few hours.
They spent the afternoon talking over old times. T. They spoke of "Dan" and "The Earl of Butterface" and "Prof. Mars," and "that night," till Jones took Hewitt home to supper with him.
But where should they go for the evening? Hewitt shook his head when Jones suggested theater. He intimated that they had such things in Kansas City.
All of a sudden Jones remembered that he had promised to call on Miss Bellmont that every evening. He had not seen her since the evening before. If he broke his engagement he might not be permitted to see her before the next evening. But how about Hewitt? He would take him along.
Hewitt was a friend of whom any one might be proud. He was a plausible and happy creature who made a hit at

--every first appearance and Daisy would like him. Besides, Jones wanted If ewitt to know that he (Jones) called on the most adorable creature in Chopeka. A girl who was prety and yet sensible enough not to be frivolous and who, also, could see the merits (he hoped) of a quiet practical fellow like himself.
It would be a little surprise, to Hewitt and would show him that, possibly, he had never judged Jones aright.
So, they walked out to Bellmont's and Hewitt looked upon Miss Daisy Belmont, and figuratively prostrated himself before her small summer shoes, just as he had prostrated himself before a thousand other girls.
He played the piano and sprawled about in the easy chairs with a languid familiarity that Jones had never dared to assume although he had been coming to the house for weeks.
Miss Bellmont seemed to like him im-
mensely. The conversation never lagged,
Ines being out of it.
It came out that Miss Bellmont had visited in Kansas City. Did Mr. Hewitt know Mr. Van Fever? Who, Lawrence Van Fever? Why, Lawrence Van Fever was one of Mr. Hewitt's best friends—"Old Vannie." Didn't Mr. Hewitt think Mr. Van Fever was handsome?" Oh yes, good-looking fellow! And a lovely voice? Yes, he sings very well.
This was no joy for Jones. What did he care for Van Fever or Van Chills, or whoever he was. As for Hewitt—it became evident now that Hewitt had changed. He had become offensively fresh and superficial.
When they left the Bellmont house at about 11 o'clock Jones had the impression that he had been an incumbrance all evening. It was evident that Miss Bellmont preferred Hewitt or Van Fever, whoever he was. Very well, Jones would all awher to select her own kind of young men. He would never see her again—not if he lived to be a thousand years old. Goodby, forever! Those were bitter words, but he said them with all the intensity of a desperate and resolved soul, as he stalked away that night with, keeping step with the traitorous Hewitt, whom he had supposed to be his friend.
Hewitt could not cheer him. They parted at the hotel and Jones went home, wondering why he hadn't perceived all the time that his ideal was the ordinary feather-headed girl who preferred a chattering idiot to a man of sense.
The next day was one of sunless gloom.
The night closed upon chaos. Jones could not sleep.
Then the morning after that a note beginning "My dear Will." He could not

Decker's Entertainment.
Last night at the Christian church, Perl D, Decker gave one of his excellent entertainments in elocution and oratory. There is no doubt expressed today but that Mr. Decker is able to give a better entertainment in his line than perhaps any other person in the University or in Lawrence. His repertoire is replete with the best selections. With his perfect ease, complete self control and magnificent voice he is able to make his audience forget every thought but the one he presents. Selections of humor, pathos, and of the dramatic are all interpreted with the same exactness, and at his suggestion roaring laughter gives place involuntarity to a feeling akin to tears.
His rendition of "The First Settler's Story," was perhaps the best of the evening, though no doubt each one of his selections had its spicial admirers. But Mr. Decker is strong in pathos as the rendition of this story showed. For the dramatic part of the program "The Tell Tale Heart" was chosen, and in this both the elocutionary and oratorical abilities of the speaker were brought into play in a pleasing manner. Humor was given its full share in "The Debatin' Society" and "Saunders McGluaish's courtship" besides other selections with which the speaker responded to the encores, which were exceedingly hearty. Mr Decker displays genuine, not counterfeit humors and he takes great care that silliness is never approached.
The program given by Mr. Decker was interspersed with delightful vocal music by Lawrence *singers*, which made the evening's entertainment, taken all in all, one capable of being enjoyed by any person. C. M. M.

TAILORING
Wednesday morning all Lawrence was shocked by the news that Lieutenant A. B. Alford had been killed in battle near Manila. Lieutenant Alford was well known in University circles, being a graduate of the Arts and law schools, and a graduate student at the time of his enlistment in the army.
R. E. PROT SCH.
1-5.800.CO. M
819 Mass. St. Over Daly's
As a student he was earnest and thorough. He graduated from the Arts school in '96, and from Law in '97. At the time of his departure from Lawrence he was pursuing a course in the University in history and sociology. Nor did he cease to study through a soldier. He worked in his spare moments on history, international law, and the Spanish language. Before leaving San Francisco he had made arrangements with his instructor here to pursue his studies as best he might in the Jesuit College at Manila.
FIRST LIEUTENANT ALFRED C. ALFORD.
First Kansler Killed in Battle.
Lieut. Alford was a member of Company H. of the K. N. G. and at the time of the breaking out of the war was 2nd lieutenant. When the K. N. G. was disorganized and volunteers were called for Alford was the third man to enlist. At the election of officers he was elected to his old position. While the Twentieth Kansas was at San Francisco, Fred was promoted to the 1st heintenancy of Company B, in which he was the only commissioned officer, as Captain Buchan and Lieut. Showaller were doing detached service. He was a thorough soldier and because of his attention to duty and his thoughtfulness for his men, he was highly regarded by his superiors and loved by those under his command.
"Fred" Alford, as he was familiarly known, was born in Lawrence twenty-four years ago, and spent all his life here until he enlisted in the army. His father, D. S. Alford, is a practicing attorney in Lawrence and Fred was a partner with him in the firm of Alford & Alford. Soldiers are numerous 'among his ancestors on both sides. Some served in the Pequod Indian war, some in the Revolution, some in the war of 1812, and some in the late Rebellion; and now Fred represents the family in the war with Spain. Besides his immediate family he leaves to mourn his death Miss Vesta McCurdy, of Hutchinson, to whom he was affinanced.
Lieutenant Alford was gifted with a very high moral sense. Even in his enlistment he showed his devotion to principle. He felt that the fact that he had received military training in the National Guards in time of peace laid upon him an obligation to serve his country in time of war. To discharge this obligation he willingly offered himself to his country to fight for her interests and for the preservation of her honor, and to die, if need be, in her service. It was not selfish ambition nor a spirit of adventure, but the purest patriotism which led him to enlist, fully realizing, as he did, the seriousness of the step which he was taking. His character was above reproach. He was above all things clean. He lived before his men as he thought they ought to live. It was a matter of principle with him to live a life in every particular pure and upright. Never would he stoop to do a low act in order to gain preferment or popularity. Such sterling qualities as these, won for him the respect and admiration of all who were fortunate enough to know him.
Such a soldier, such a student, and better than all such a man is he whose fate it was to be the first Kansan, and the first Kansas University man to lay down his young life for his country in the Spanish war. We honor him for his devotion and
mis sacrifice and extend our heart felt sympathy to his bereaved parents and friends among our number.
BIOLOGICAL CLUB.
On Tuesday afternoon Dr. Williston addressed the Biological club on "Methods of Reproduction in Scientific Drawings." He said that in some departments of natural history drawings were of more importance than verbal descriptions; that new species would frequently not be received as such, unless they were accompanied by drawings. He continued: "The scientist cares less for artistic work, but he must have accuracy. The Americans make accurate but inartistic drawings, while the French, Germans and English pay more attention to artistic effects, and less to accuracy.
The older method of reproducing drawings was by means of copper engravings; later and up to about thirty-five years ago many steel engravings were made. These were followed by wood engraving, which continued to be used up to about fifteen years ago." The Doctor then explained the method of reproducing drawings by engravings on each of the above substances, and their advantages. They were all good and accurate but expensive.
"The best method of reproducing drawing," he continued, "is by lithographs." He exhibited a lithograph stone with a drawing on it, and then explained the difficulty of making the drawings upon the stone. "This method is very slow and expensive."
"In the last fifteen years there has been a revolution in the reproduction of pictures, especially in this country. Most of the illustrations now used are made by mechanical reproduction. There are three methods First, hellotype, which reproduces photographs and makes nice drawings; but is rather expensive, as the printing is slow; second, half tones, which makes a very cheap picture, but doesn't give delicacy of outline; third, zinc-line, which can not be used for very fine work, as very fine lines cannot be reproduced.
Drawings are better than photographs, as prospective can be eliminated The naturalist can not succeed without being able to draw the outlines of the objects he studies. The scientist does not depend on his eye, but makes accurate measurements and then draws his picture." The subject was then discussed at some length by different members of the club.
Prof. Stevens then reviewed a paper by R. Harbig, "Concerning the Influence of Cultivation on the Character of Forest Trees." As a knowledge of the microscopic structure would throw some light on how to take care of forests, he named and briefly described the components parts of wood. He then spoke of the influence of the situation upon the character. The real roots consist of water-tubes mostly, while the main root supporting the tree consists largely of woodfiber. The strength of the trunk diminishes from base to apex. The wood in the lower part of the tree is denser, heavier and firm and hence of more value for fuel, etc.
Inward conditions greatly influence the character of the tissues. An oak growing in an open space fully exposed to the sunlight has much softer and lighter wood, than one growing where it is shaded by other trees. Culture by increasing or decreasing the amount of illuminated leaf surface, and by giving more or less fertile soil; can influence the relative amounts of wood-fiber and water-tubes, and thus influence the character of the wood. Pruned trees produce heavier and stronger wood than unpruned ones; trees growing in rich, fertile soil yield a better quality of wood. The amount of transpiration, other things being the same, affects the wood, hence trees in the tropics which grow during the wet season and transpire but little, have very hard wood.
In trimming out trees care should be taken to give every tree enough rich soil, yet not too much sunlight, so as to produce the best wood.
THE ADELPHIC
Owing to the bad weather, the attendance at the Adelphic last Saturday night was smaller than usual, but a fair audience was present. Vice President Benson presided. Much interest was aroused by an extemporaneous speech by Mr. McGill on "Interest in Oratory and Debate" at Kansas University. An oration by Mr. Bowe, "u"The Triumph of the People," received great applause. Mr. Gibbs delivered a declaration in which plain old countryman was personified with artistic fidelity. Mr. Collins spoke on the much mooted question of the government of the Philippines.
The question for debate was the expansion policy, which was defended by Messrs Wright and Anderson against Benson and Reynolds. Mr. Benson being one of the debaters. Mr. Wilson was called to the chair. The question was argued pro and con with much vigor, and each debater seemed to believe firmly in his side. The judges, Mr. McGill, Miss Davis and Mr. Bowe, decided against expansion.
The business session was very short, one new member being admitted, and three of the lady members being appointed as a music committee.
ECONOMIC SEMINARY
At the Economic Seminary on February 6, F. M. Daum reported at length on Devine's work on economics considered from a sociological standpoint.
Probably the strongest part of the book is the treatment of utility and value. Some discussion is given of recent economic conditions.
The principal reports at the next meeting will be a report on Annals of the American Academy by Brown and a report on affairs in banking by Gwin.
SNOW LITERARY SOCIETY.
Mr. E.H. Sellards read a paper on "The Use of an Art Course to a Man of Science." Mr. B. W. Welsh read a story. Debate: Resolved, that the poor boy has advantages over the rich boy in getting an education. The discussion was a general one and all the members participated. Under miscellaneous business, the question of giving a special program was discussed, and it is probable that, at its next meeting, the society will decide to give one in the near future.

LAWS AND SOPHOMORES.
SHOWED PHARMICS AND FRESHMEN ARTS A FEW OF THE RUDIMENTS OF BASKET BALL.
Both Games Had an Occasional Good Feature. Pharmics and Laws Were Quite Evenly Matched. Sophomores Flaya Brist, Snappy Game. Arts Display Lack of Practice
The report began by a contest between the Pharmics and Laws. The game was quite close and maintained keen interest to the finish. Both teams struggled manfully to maintain the spotless record of their respective schools spotless because neither team had previously entered a contest. It happened, however, as usual that the greater predominated. Both teams have men who will doubtless make a good showing with more practice. The work of Reese, Hartigan and Fogwell for the Pharmics was a redeeming feature. For the Laws, Hess, Wood and Able played the game. The following shows the game in incomplete form.
The third of the series of inter-class and faculty games at the rink Saturday evening demonstrated fully to the slim attendance that basket ball is a highly scientific game and that it demands heady, rapid work upon the part of the players.

SECOND GAME.
The Freshman-Sophomore game was not so interesting as the preceding one. The dozen who had paid to see the games were overcome by a tired feeling, and took a promenade in the deserted gallery. Even those who came in on "comps" began to squirm and cast sleep glances at the clock. An outsider, writing up the game, would perhaps have roasted the Freshmen but that would not have been just, for they had never played together, and did the best they could. Thompson was unfortunate in throwing goals—and the team lacked ginger.
The Sophomores, on the other hand, were without Whitney, and were playing somewhat out of their positions, but put up on the whole, an excellent game. They are particularly fortunate in having the Owens boys, whose brilliant work always elicits applause and favorable comment. The Sophomores showed team work in which the Freshmen were lacking.

LAWRENCE, KAN., FEB. 11, 1899.
Monday morning the buildings were in such a condition that it was impossible to remain in them without one's knees smiling each other and one's teeth chattering, "Home Sweet Home." There was a scarcity of coal. The Freshmen conceived an idea of a coal famine and were preparing for a vacation of two weeks. Their hopes were, however, frustrated later in the day. The professors were quite considerate and dismissed their classes if the rooms were uncomfortable.
The excitement and confusion attendant to the registration at the beginning of each term, has subsided and the students have found "where they are at," and have settled down to their routine work for the next twenty weeks. The fall term's work was very gratifying to the faculty, there being a very marked decrease in the number of failures. This shows a greater interest manifested, and energy displayed in the studies by the students, and also indicates a more proficient training in the high schools of the state. Thus it should be; a progression and not a retrogression.
The adoption of the new constitution by the Athletic Association will usher in a new era for Kansas University athletics. With an executive committee composed jointly of students and faculty, the opinions and beliefs of the students and faculty will be brought together, and the mandates going forth from the committee being a modification of the views of each, will be more comprehensive, and satisfactory to all. Never before was such a high honor bestowed upon any of our students, and the faculty cannot be too highly complimented on its magnanimity and sincerity in desiring a better and more satisfactory management of our athletics. There will no longer be any erroneous inferences and misunderstandings between the students and faculty, and K. U., in the future will stand united in all its athletic efforts
Every two years, during the session of the state legislature the University undergoes a period of fear and hope. This year the hope exceeds the fear, as there are good indications of being treated not unreasonably. In saying that there will be a new chemistry building it is not going too far, as both the house and senate ways and means committees will recommend an appropriation of $55,000 and there is no reason to doubt that it will be allowed. Another good recommendation that both committees have agreed upon is the $5,000 for fire insurance. When the shops burned down last spring, there was no insurance, and but for the generosity of the citizens of Lawrence, and of George A. Fowler, of Kausas City, the engineering department would now be without proper means of instruction and would be set back several years.
The general running expenses, from the general outlook, will be greatly increased over the past two years, yet not in proportion to the needs of the institution. In the recent report, based upon the recommendation of the Chancellor, an appropriation of $270,000 for general expenses for the two fiscal years, was asked. Considering the growth of the University and the high standing of the school this is a very modest sum, but too much for our legislators. The House committee will recommend an appropriation of $250,000 (for the general expenses, while the senate committee will out the amount to $230,000. These
figures, based upon the general rule of all appropriation bills in the legislature, is more than we can expect to receive. Why this state is disposed to be so parsimonious in providing for its highest educational institution, when the neighboring states of Missouri and Nebraska treat their institutions so liberally is one of the idiosyncrasies of the law-makers.
The University has the reputation and influence of being one of the best schools of the West, and with the right kind of financial assistance the high grade of efficiency attained by the institution would surprise the taxpayers and make them proud of being its supporters.
While we do not approve of the monopoly in granting state certificates which the State Normal now enjoys, yet we believe that it is better as it stands than to have the right of issuing certificates given promiscuously to all the small religious colleges and normal schools in the state, as the Grattan bill which passed does. It is a glaring fact that it is very easy to receive a diploma from many of the denominational schools and private normals. This bill, if enacted, would pull down the state institutions, University, Normal and Agricultural college which, under state control, are maintained at a high grade of efficiency—to a level with the small schools which have a half a "dozen instructors" and a half hundred students. While the graduate of Kansas University would gain in that they would receive a state certificate without examination before the state board of education, yet they would lose more than the gain by being placed on a par with graduates of inferior training. Thus what the state institutions would give to the lesser schools, would not be a gain to those schools but a squandering on their part of the difficulty of the state institutions.
An Amusing Incident.
The Lawrence*World gives the following interesting write-up of the troubles of one of the,University-young men who participated in the "Spinster's Convention."*
While the audience was laughing at the antics of the Spinsters the other evening occurred an incident, behind the scenes not down on the program, and which was far more amusing than anything in view of the audience. The tough old spinter, who wanted to be made over into a society young man, and carry a latch key and a cork screw and stay ont nights, got her ample silkolea skirts caught in the revolving wheel in the cabinet and was held fast
The professor seeing the machinery suddenly's stop looked over into the cabinet and tapping in the situation, hurried to the front of the stage and informed the audience that there was no danger, that the s-inster being old and tough and very hard on the machinery and clogged the wheels somewhat, but it,would soon be all right. Meanwhilethe spinnerwas tearing her "or his"way through those skirts and hoops, making subdued remarks to himself and 'tied away down the wings, clad in his evening bonnet, white underleaves, and ruffled pantalettes, and black cloth evening dress suit. Ladies in waiting clutched at him on all sides as they ran to assist him in disrobing, and an instant afterward he appeared on the scene placid and serene in faultless evening attire, a fine looking gentleman, to be immediately surrounded by the Spinsters.

SOCIETY.
The past week has been a very act, one in society circles and was very pleasantly terminated on Friday evening when the ladies of Pit Beta Phi gave their annual spring party in Pythian hall. The hall was very elaborately decorated for the occasion with greens and the fraternity colors. Electric lights were used very effectively in the decorations. The balcony was draped in wine and blue bunting while on the north wall, with a background of American flags, was a large golden arrow, the symbol of the fraternity. The jewels of the arrow were represented by red electric lights and the whole formed a very beautiful feature of the decorations. Cosy corners were fitted upon the raised platform which surrounds three sides of the hall and which was separated from the dancing floor by tall green arches studded with red lights Steinberg's orchestra of Topks, furnished exceptionally fine music for dancing. The grand march began at 9 o'clock and was led by Mr. and Mrs. James W. Green. The programs were given out by Mr. and Mrs Arthur Weaver and were as hand some as any that have ever been given a souvenir at a Lawrence party. The guests were received by the patron sser Mrs. Paul R. Brooks, Mrs Peter Emery Mrs. Arthur D Weaver and Mrs. James W. Green, assisted by Miss Gertrude Hill and Miss Frederica Bulene from the chapter. Refreshments were served in the balcony through the evening. The occasion was an especially enjoyable one because of the reagent pledging of Miss Julia Simmons of Leavenworth. The out of town guests were Mr. and Mrs. Freed Dobson, Messrs. Harris and Cain o Ottawa, Mr. and Mrs. John Spencer o Omaha,Mr. and Mrs.W. W. Morgan Misses Laura Morse and Messrs Heryer and Hostetter of Hutchinson Misses Gay, Duvereux, Rolgers, Thompson, Jewel, Mulvane and Lucile Mulvane Messrs.

Mr. and Mrs. Carl A Preyer very pleasantly entertained a number of their friends Saturday evening at their home on Tennessee street.
Miss Ortha Johnson of Lavernworth was the guest of Miss Ida Smith for the Pi Phi party.
One of the novel entertainments of the year was given last Wednesday evening by the young ladies of the Kappa Kappa Gamma fraternity. This was a "library" party, and each of the young ladies represented some well kao nook. The rules, together with a list of the books were printed on cards and given to the gentlemen. No book was to be kept over five minutes, and fines were placed on all who broke the rules. Miss Georgia Brown acted as librarian. The opera house was very pretty decorated for the occasion, the stage was arranged as a parlor, and the boxes were fitted up as cosy corners. Punch and wafers were served, and later in the evening dancing was indulged in. Those present were Misses Summons, Warkentin, Day, of Atchison, Andrews, Becker, Can, Cross, Morris, Brown, Bailey, Hanson, Wilson, Miller, Flersemil, Flersemil and Lewis. Messrs.

Kansas Enterprise.
It has often been said that the business of Kansas is carried on to a great extent by capital from the eastern states, and that companies with large sums of money at their disposal, and with Kansas men behind them are hard to find. Although this may be true, we believe it will not be so in a few years. Our resources are being developed by the money and labor of the state. Our attention was drawn recently to the handbook sent out by a company in Topeka which is backed almost exclusively by Kansas men and has resources to draw upon amounting to over three hundred and seventy million dollars. As we run over the list of the Advisory board we discover the names of many prominent men of the state, among them some well known friends of the University. The book referred to is the report from the Kansas Mutual Life Insurance Co. The stringent laws of Kansas governing insurance companies have evidently not come in conflict with the business policy of the company, for in the book, or rather the cover, is displayed a certificate from Webb McNall, stating that the company is authorized to transact business in Kansas.
These laws amply secure all depositors. The rapid progress of the company in the last few years shows that the people desire to patronize enterprises of stable character promoted by home industry. The income of the company for last year alone amounted to over two hundred, eighty five thousand dollars. The report gives a good illustration of the increasing credit of Kansas financial and commercial institutions.
We do not need to say that we hope the Kansas Mutual Life Insurance Co. will be successful, for its books, submitted to the state authorities to be examined, prove that it is a success. We would attribute its progress as much to the integrity of the men behind it, as to the sound business principles upon which its affairs are based,
What will the band do? This is the question that is confronting every band man at present. A large number of the members have seemingly lost interest since the football season and it has devolved upon a few to try to stimulate the bandmen to do the work necessary to have a good band in the University.
What Will the Band Do?
After laboring for more than a month these have almost given up in despair and the band's future looks most discouraging.
During the short time the band was in its prime, it was a source of pleasure to all who heard it, and a great addition to the University. In times of need the faculty and business men of Lawrence contributed freely to the band fund. In justice to those who have given their assistance and who have the welfare of the band at heart, each individual member should do his best to advance the interest of the band and make it a success. Whenever a meeting is called let him be present. If he is not he has not done his duty, and is a drawback and hindrance to the organization.—A Band Man.

A New Game.
The Civil Engineers have the honor of inventing a new game or amusement which seems to be grining popularity among their numbers. One of the chief attractions of the game is that it has not confined in its participants the boys of the department alone, but with true educational and progressive spirit, includes all the young ladies of the University also, indeed, gives to them quite a prominent and necessary part to play.
The new game is one of the brightest and most humorous efforts ever produced on the hill and the young gentlemen should be congratulated on their success in its institution as an interesting and exciting element in University life.
The game is simple and easily played and the necessary apparatus or sporting instruments few. Indeed, a plentiful supply of fine white sand, on the boys part, seems to be all that is required for its complete success. The boys' base is on the third floor near the stair railing and the girls at the register in the lower hall immediately below the boys' base.
The game consists in its simplest form in the skilful deposit of sand by the boys on the upper base upon the heads of the girls below, but though this in itself seems simple and unexciting enough the complications and elements of courage and daring incident to the main play form the truly interesting part of the game.
The object seems to be to throw the sand at skillfully chosen and opportune moments without being discovered by the opposite side. The skill acquired in this line is quite wonderful. Though the rules of the game have not yet been printed, it is supposed that where anyone allows himself to be seen he is immediately put out of the game. It would seem on first thought that the girls' part in the game is entirely of a passive kind, but this is not true. The interest and amusement for them is centered about the sand showers that patter on the books and papers during class and study hours and in the time necessary to get the sand out of the hair and in the effort made to remember to steer clear of the register, no matter how cold they may be, and in the formation of mutual admiration societies for the cleverness and great original humor of the opposite side.
has always taken an interest in fostering manly sports, and though both figuratively and literally, it takes a good deal of 'sand' to play this game, the civil engineers seem to have enough of both kinds to insure its future.
The account of this game may in part explain the increasing prevalence of the senior caps among the Senior girls. There i a movement now on foot to supply Junior, Freshman and Sophomore girls with caps resembling the modern sweeping cap which are to be hung over the register, to be put on while holding the base. A petition to the faculty to furnish these will be circulated, and it is hoped that a liberal response will be made. The University
The girls wish to tender their sincerе thanks for the generosity of the boys in affording them so many elements of interest and excitement.
The universal day of prayer for students was observed last year in thirty different countries. The day was ushered in by the early prayer meetings of the students in China and completed by the Christiaa students of the mid-Pacific.
Y.M.C.A.NOTES.
The World's Student Confederation recommends to all Christian students and the Church of Christ that Sunday, February 12 be observed as a day of universal prayer for students.
The day has been adopted by 12,000 Christian students' societies with a membership of over 55,000 students and professors. Next Sunday it will be observed by the K. U. Christion Association. The Y. M. and Y. W. C. A. will unite in a public meeting at North College at 2:30 p.m. Brun Hobbs, a prominent lawyer of Kansas City, Kan., and a former graduate of K. U. will lead the meeting. Special instrumental and vocal music will be furnished by home talent. By the hearty cooperation of the faculty and students let this meeting be made the beginning of a year of more active and powerful Christian work and deeper and wider interest in the higher life.
Mr. Baird, State Secretary of the Y. M. C. A., led the K. U. Y. M. C. A., meeting last Sunday. The meeting was well attended and exceedingly interesting and helpful. Mr. Baird based his talks on "Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men." He spoke of following Christ, in his prayer life, in self denial and in love. The talk was full of practical thoughts and apt illustrations. The constantly increasing attendance at these Sunday afternoon meetings is very encouraging to those interested in the Y. M. C. A.
A New Fad.
For the last few months it has been quite popular for large cities and famous places to have private mailing cards with some point of interest engraved on the letter side.
Mr. Marcy has had printed 5,000 of these cards with the University buildings engraved on them. These are the first private mailing cards that have been issued in this section.

Topka Does Not Know the Game and Cannot Afford the 'Variety Good Practice—K. U. Was in Good Form and Played Fast Ball—Wm. Sutton's Good Throwing Was a Marked Feature.
Perhaps fifty people were at the rink Friday evening to see the first big home game of basketball. The gas was frozen up and after the usual throw out, the band played its old familiar air and the game began, K. U. winning the east goal.
Before the game was called there was some little doubt as to the outcome, but the ball had been in play only a moment or two when the 'Varsity began to show its superiority.' The visitors showed up quite well in practice but seemed out of place and unacquainted with the game.
After two minutes of play Sutton threw a goal and the first applause was heard. This gingered the 'Varsity boys' and they played so fast that the visitors could offer but little interference. The same spirited play lasted throughout the first half and when it was over the 'Varsity had scored nineteen points, while Topeka had scored four. Sutton had made four field goals and one foul goal, Hess three field goals and Emley two.
In the second half, Topeka warmed up for a little time and scored after about three minutes of play. The visitors had learned the "Varsity tackles and put up a fair interference for a short time. They were unacquainted with the "roly boly" game and weakened when this was brought into play. The game was however, more interesting in the latter half than in the former. Topeka seemed to have caught a little ginger.
The Topeka team was composed of good men but they are not basket ball players. The team contained the long and the short, the heavy weight and two betweens of the Y. M. C. A. The men were not adopted to their positions nor to each other, their traning seemed inefficient. The lack of team work was evident. Day, who played left forward for Topeka is a good man and ought to play the game well with more practice. Griggs who played center also showed up well.
The game through-out was free from rough-playing and objectionable features. The following shows details of the game:
FIRST HALF
The Varsity team contained men of somewhat equalsize. It was evident that they had played more basket ball than their opponents from the manner in which they worked] together. All of the men played well. During the latter half Emley retired and Avery took his place.

FOWLER SHOP NOTES
The machine and forge rooms presented a very animated appearance Monday afternoon when shop work was resumed. In spite of the fact that this was the first regular shop work, everything moved off without the slightest hitch, a fact due largely to Mr. Ward's efforts to have everything in the proper state of readiness.
The dynamo testing laboratory is the only department in which practical nothing has been done yet, owing largely to the fact that none of the dynamos ordered by Professor Blake for this work, have arrived yet. Notice, however, has been received that some of them are on the way, and when they arrive the laboratory will be fitted up as rapidly as possible.
Messra. Stone and Chester, junior electrical engineers, have completed an extension of the south line shaft into Prof. Palmer's testing laboratory, where work will begin in testing strength of materials.
The shops have not entirely escaped the effects of the cold weather, on the whole however, the large rooms have been comfortably warm, with the exception of the engine and boiler rooms.
The latter in particular has been very cold the temperature varying very little from that out-of-doors.
Professor Blake has received notice that the new switch board is in transit. When it arrives it will be put in place and the temporary one removed to make room for the new generator. These changes will add much to the appearance of the engine room.
The seventy-one students now assigned to regular shop work are taxing the equipment of the shops to its full capacity. However, this state of affairs will be somewhat relieved when the four new lathes, which the department expects to build, are finished. In order that work on them may be pushed as rapidly as possible, the castings and parts of the old lathes have been brought up from the boiler house and placed in the machine room as many of the parts of the old lathes, not damaged to any great extent by the fire, will be used in the construction of the new ones.

MOULTON WNS.
FOR FOOTBALL MANAGER.
On Monday and Tuesday of this week politics were again rampant, the center of interest on this occasion - being the annual election of the Athletic Association, and the first one under the new constitution. On Tuesday especially, the local politicians could be seen buttonholing all doubtful voters, and if their efforts now are a presage of their future achievements in the same line, the K. U. alumni ought easily to control the political destiny of the nation.
The Ten-Seconds Man Walks Away from
The chief, and practically the only contest was over the 'football managers for which F. R. Moulton and J. C. Battome were candidates.
The support of both the-barbs and the fraternities was divided and it was evident that the contest was to be a close one.
More enthusiasm was aroused than is usual on such occasions and the tendency on all sides seemed to be to "whoop 'er up" for the Athletic Association. Almost every member of the association and many of the outsiders were active partisans, and even the faculty did not escape the general canvas but had to take their turn in being accosted by the workers for the respective candidates. Their votes were just as much in demand as those of the students, and their positions as eagerly inquired.
It was evident that Moulton had the support of most of the barb politicians and likewise the rank and file. The Betas were also supporting Moulton while the Phi Pis joined the standard of Lord Butterton and went down again in defeat.
When the meeting was called to order Tuesday noon by Professor Adams, he faced a large and enthusiastic body of stockholders who were divided in two factions, each determined to elect its man. Printed tickets bearing the names of the men each side wished to elect to the board had been freely distributed. Both tickets also contained the name of J. W. Green for president and in addition the Buttner ticket had the names of candidates for the six committees.
The first division came on Elliott's motion to elect first the four members of the board. This came rather as a surprise, but was carried on a roll call by a vote of 72 to 32.
P. S. Elliott placed in nomination for the board Messrs. C. E.Rose, Frank Pratt, Porter Fones, and Ad Housh. E. J. Lelard then nominated Messrs. H. C. Avery, Robert Landers, W. F. Mitchener and M. A. Smith.
While the tellers were counting the ballots for the board, Dean J. W. Green was unanimously re-elected President, and a motion was carried providing for adjournment after the announcement of the votes, thus putting off the election of committees until another-meeting, to be called by the President.
The vote for the Board was as follows:
Avery, 51; Landers, 47; Mitcheler, 48;

The result was a substantial victory for the Moulton forces and if the faculty confirms the action of the student body, Moulton will be the manager of the '99 football team. With the co-operation of two such men as Moulton and Avery there is no reason why K. U. should not have a football team next fall which will distance both our own representatives in the past and anything that the surrounding states can put up to oppose us.

The first meeting in February was called to order by the newly elected president, W. H. Anderson. In his inaugural address, Mr. Anderson throw out some timely remarks by way of encouragement, as well as of praise, for those constant in attendance, and urged that a large number be present at the meetings.
Mr Torrence opened the regular literary program with a speech entitled "The Lawyer's Position in Society." He spoke of many prominent men who were lawyers and showed their influence as "shining lights" and "landmarks" in the world's history.
O. O. Lane gave an impromptu speech. The subject assigned him was "The Probable Political Issues of 1900." Mr. Lane mentioned two topics which he thought probable issues: the silver question' and the expansion policy.
After W. S. Hyatt had rendered a humorous recitation the debate was taken up. The question under consideration was whether or not the state should be compelled to pay its witnesses in criminal cases. Supporting the affirmative were, Messrs. Vale and Whitaker, opposing, Messrs. McGill and Brady. The decision was given to negative. The committee on procuring a portrait of President McKinley, Mr. Hyatt, chairman, asked for further time and it was accordingly granted.
There are new and interesting facts being learned all the time. There was one learned in Dr. Naismith's Physiology class the other day that will long be remembered by the class. The professor asked a boy what was the composition of bones. The boy seemed puzzled, and to help him out the doctor asked: "Well, what do you get when you boil a bone?" The boy's face brightened immediately, as he answered with confidence, "Soup," and settled back in his chair with a relieved air. The professor's self possession seemed seriously disturbed and for a few moments he joined the class in an audible smile.

THE SECOND CONVOCATION.
一
PROVES A DECIDED SUCOESS
A Large Crowd Present and Much Fnthusiasm Manifested.
The second convoocation of the collegiate year held on last Monday proved conclusively the value and benefit of such gatherings of students and faculty in arousing and increasing University spirit. In many respects it resembled the football meetings which were wont to be the only time when we could get together and bring the University to any pitch of enthusiasm.
The reports of the Kansas commission to the Trans-Mississippi exposition had been placed in the chapel for distribution, and were in the hands of most of the students present. But when once their value as missiles was appreciated, all considerations of their educational and literary merits were laid aside and they began to fly back and forth in rapid volleys between the Junior Laws who occupied the front part of the room and the students from the other schools in the rear. Non-combatants between the two opposing parties were not respected and were in fact in danger from both sides. Even about the head of the Chancellor sailed the pamphlets hurled by vigorous arms.
On Monday the University, or at least the student body, gathered in the chapel in numbers which gave us some idea of what our strength really is, if we could but see ourselves together. There was also a fair representation of the faculty on the rostrum.
One cause of the great interest felt in the meeting was the fact that the seniors were to appear for the first time in their caps and gowns. And when they solemnly filed into the room, headed by their president, they were greeted with rounds of applause, and with looks of admiration and envy from the Freshmen, Mr. James Drydsley came in for an especial share of the applause, and the declaration that he was "all right" two or three times resounded from the chapel walls.
Chancellor Snow then took occasion to pay a tribute to Lieut. Alford whose death caused so much sorrow to Lawrence and the University. He spoke of his life and character from personal knowledge and declared that although he had given up his life in his young manhood, the results of his life were grand and noble.
The program commenced with organ music by Prof. Penny. Chancellor Snow, briefly touching on the purposes of the meeting, mentioned the fact that the day before had been the birthday of Lincoln. He then introduced Rev. J. W. Somerville who spoke of the life and character of of the great emancipator. He told of his greatness, his goodness, his many sidedness and his fitness to be the great messenger of freedom to the world. He spoke of him as eminently American and emphasized the need of true and loyal Americans today.
Some one in the audience was low enough to start a biss on the appearance of the Seniors. Such a one is a disgrace to the institution and the motive and purpose of such an act is utterly incomprehensible to all intelligent and self-respecting people.
He was followed by Dr. Williston who spoke of the life and work of Charles Darwin who was also born on February 12. He recounted his services to science and the emphatic confirmation that his theories have received.
Professors Penny, Preyer and Farrell delighted the audience with a trio for organ, piano and violin and were compelled to respond to an snore.
The closing address of the morning was by Professor Burdeck, who spoke on "The Flag." His address was fervid and eloquent and full of high patriotic feeling which touched a responsive chord in the hearts of all.
It was demonstrated on Monday that we can arouse enthusiasm of a high order, and that on short notice. Now there is no reason why there should not be equal enthusiasm aroused
VOL. VII. NO. 20
Before the last address the Chancellor also called attention to the Oratorical Contest, which is to be held at Ottawa on February 24.
over the state oratorical contest. We ought to take a crowd down to Ottawa next Friday whose 'Rock Chalk!' Jay Hawk! can make itself heard and felt too. We carried our orator to victory last year and we can and should do it again. It is to be hoped that the outburst of enthusiasm at the convocation will last, and that one of the fruits of that meeting will be a good crowd to go to the contest and see that K U. "gets there."
OTTAWA.
The State Oratorical Contest.
The sixteenth annual contest of the Kansas Inter-collegiate Association will be held in the Krohobaugh opera house at Ottawa next Friday evening, February 24. The attendance at this contest promises to be the largest in the history of the association. The first one-fare-for-the-round-trip rate that has ever been given the association by the railroads, is inducing many students to attend who would not do so if the railroads had made no concession. Baker University will attend 250 strong; Washburn and College of Emporia 200; Salina and Winfield will be well represented. Midland will show her usual enthusiastic cohorts, while Ottawa University will attend in a body. K. U. should not be lacking in numbers. The entire expense of attendance upon this contest should not exceed two dollars for every K. U. student. It would be money well spent to come in contact with fellow students from the leading colleges of Kansas. And then the colors, the yells, the good fellowship and friendly rivalry will broaden the views of any student who may attend. Every effort is being made to take the University Band. This would add much to the enthusiasm and pleasure of the occasion. Special train service from Topeka, returning immediately after the contest. The Ottawa collegians promise every effort to make the visit of their Kansas fellow students pleasurable in every particular.
The following is the program except the music, and the order of speaking:
"An Uncrowned King," C. N. Swibart, Midland college, Atchison
"Faith: The Dominant Power in Progress." F. W. Games, Baker University, Baldwin.
"The Changing Policy of the United States." A. C. Northrop, Kansas Wesleyan, Salina.
"Altruism America's Mission." W. R. Arthur, Washburn college, Topeka.
"What of the Future?" Sherman G. Elliott, Kansas University.
"The Problem of Expansion," G. W. Trout, Ottawa University.
The judges on delivery are: Hon. Frank Nelson, Hon. F. M. Potter, and Wm Allen White. On touch and composition: Hon. Case Broderic, Rev. Houston of Emporia, Rev. Hodson of McPherson.
"Mirabeou," Karl Rankin, College of Emporia.
The officers of the state association, 【Geo. O. Foster, president, K U.; C. E. Hoover, vice president, Midland; W. D. Schermhorn, secretary and treasurer, Southwest Kansas College.
Economic Seminary.
A very excellent review of an article in the Annals of the American Academy was given by Mr. Brown in the last economic seminary. The article reviewed was a report of the bankers' convention at Indianapolis. The general conclusions of that convention were the maintenance of the gold standard, the retirement of the present paper money circulation, and a modification of the present banking system. The author, of the article states that the bankers' convention seems to have had preconceived ideas of what they wanted and all their investigations at the convention and the work of their committee were not so much to arrive at the scientific truth about the financial question as to build a foundation for their theories. Their suggested banking system, the writer thinks, is not as satisfactory as the Canadian system. Yet, as a whole, the three conclusions started above as reached by the convention are probably correct.
'The Policy of Bismarck," C. W.Meyer, Southwest Kansas College, Winfield.

THE UNEXPECTED
THE UNEXPECTED HAPPENS
WHEN THE ADVISORY BOARD MEET
MEET.
Perl Decker Is Sprung as a Dark Horse and Wins Out.
At the first meeting of the board last Saturday no action was taken as some of the faculty members were opposed to the selection of Moulton for the position, and from the ballots taken it seemed impossible to come to any agreement. But at the meeting Thursday Moulton's name was withdrawn, and when Decker was placed in nomination the secretary was instructed to cast the vote of the Board for him.
At the meeting of the Advisory Board of the Athletic Association Thursday afternoon Perl D. Decker was unanimously elected football manager.
This action was a surprise to all as Mr. Decker had not previously been mentioned as a candidate. Yet although it was altogether unexpected, it will doubless prove eminently satisfactory. Decker had obtained his greatest fame through his oratorical powers, but it is well known that his ability is not restricted to this line, and that he can and will give us a good business-like administration of football matters. He has always taken a great interest in University affairs and will work hard for the success of the team.
There might have been one criticism in the past on athletics in the University, that is that football was allowed to crowd out the other athletics interests and that base ball and track athletics have suffered at times from lack of proper pushing by those in charge. But this year the interest in both these teams is great and the management will be such as to bring them to the front.
In spite of Moulton's withdrawal the result of the election was a practical victory for those who supported him in the election of the association last week, and who fought hard and long to obtain his election.
We are also assured of good management of our other Athletic teams. Frank Jewett was elected baseball manager and Elmer Kelly, manager of track athletics.
On Thursday evening occurred the first number of the course of "Educational Entertainments." Notwithstanding a small audience it was a very appreciative one. There was a very noticeable lack of attendance of the students.
Song Recital.
The entertainment was a song recita by Mr. Joseph A. Farrell, accompanied by Mr. C. A. Preyer. The recital consisted of a number of Italian, French, German and English songs. Mr. Farrell's voice is a fine, rich baritone, and the manner, which he handled the selections, attested to his proficiency in both language and music. He was assisted by Miss Jean Bowersock, violinist; Mr.C.A.Preyer, pianist; and Mr.G.B.Penny, organist. The three instruments, violin, piano and pipe-organ make a harmony and music equal to a full orchestra and when in the hands of such able players as Miss Bowersock, Mr. Preyer and Mr. Penny make music fit for the gods. Both Mr. Farrell and Miss Bowersock were enced. The programs contained the songs translated into English.
One of the features of the new constitution is the selection of a general manager who has general supervision of all athletics. This position is to be filled by Prof. Adams, who will be succeeded on the board by Archie Hogg.
Emporia Gazette—The re-appointment of Scott, Crowell and Forney as regent of the State University was a wise act. Gov. Stanley could find no better men than those named by ex-Governor Morrill. They are honest energetic capable and efficient. They have guided the destinies of the University carefully and well. Their reappointment was demanded by the best interests of the University.

Something About Phi Bata Kappa
Bauch & Lomb's representative, Mr. Ott, visited the several departments Tuesday in regard to new supplies and future orders.
It will doubtless be of interest to the reader of the WEERLY to know more definitely the nature of the Phi Beta Kappa society, and of the qualifications for membership. It need scarcely be repeated that this society, though nominally a "Greek Letter Fraternity" and the oldest of them, has now little in common with the other societies bearing this designation, but is an honorary organization whose secrecy amounts merely to privacy.
Dr. Bartow's talk at the Chemical Seminary on "The Terpenes" Thursday was very interesting.
Remember the Chemical Seminary meets every Thursday at 4 o'clock.
The number of chapters is comparatively small, and new charters are granted only after careful investigation of the standing of the petitioning college (petitions usually come from the faculty) by the triennial national council. The University of Kansas was, at the time of its admission, one of but half a dozen colleges west of the Alleghenies to enjoy this honor.
Membership is limited two one-fourth of the graduating class, and the qualifications are scholarship and character. This does not make it a matter of course that those with the highest average grades are chosen in their order. A brilliant scholar in the general repute of moral weakness would probably be blackballed. But naturally this ground for exclusion would come into play but rarely. A consideration which more frequently determines the election of a person with slightly lower average grades than another, is that the grades are not a precise index of scholarship when understood in the most intelligent sense.
When errors are made, of omission or commission, they are generally due to the fact that the eligibles are sometimes entirely unknown to those who vote. Four-fifths of all the votes cast are necessary to elect, and a ballot blank in part or altogether may defeat a candidate. Other things being equal, the student is preferred who has the more complete record of work done at the University.
Sometimes the merits of the candidates least certain of election are discussed, and in this connection a just appreciation and a decided taste in literature are apt to weigh rather heavier than excellence in other lines.
Knowing these facts, students who have failed of election, and yet believe themselves as worthy as some who were more fortunate, may at least comfort themselves with the thought that there is not necessarily any intentional injustice involved.
Phi Beta Kappa Election.
Wednesday evening the following seniors were elected members of the Phi Beta Kappa fraternity: Misses Stella Case, Blakely Hyde, Riggs, Watson, Whitman, Messrs. Cross, Graham, Henderson, McClair, Moore, Parrot, Pratt. Sutton.

LAWRENCE, KAN., FEB. 18, 1899
There is a plan on foot to have the band go to Ottawa with our orator for the interstate contest to be held February 24. The idea is a very good one and the plan very feasible. For with our band, which is a very good one and one of which the University may well be proud, and a car-load of "rooters" we will make ourselves hard and felt at Ottawa. It would encourage and stimulate our representative, and it would show true University spirit. As to the plan being feasible, Manager Buttomer thinks that it will not only be possible but very probable that it will go. Consequently the students and faculty should encourage and promote the scheme to the best of their ability.
It has been sold every year by the colleges in the State Oratorial Association that no oratorial interest is manifested at the University; that only a few who are personally connected with the State Association have any desire for oratory. Notwithstanding these false allegations, the University always sends a large delegation of its student body to the contests and representatives have twice carried off first honors. This year the contest will be held at Ottawa, February 24. Our representative, Sherman G. Ellott, will be one of the strongest, if not the strongest, orator there. Let us send a large delegation to Ottawa next Friday, larger than ever before, to cheer Mr. Elliot to victory. Baker, our old rival and enemy will have from 200 to 300 in attendance, and the University should have twice that many. Let us show them that oratory is not on the decline, but, in the ascendency at Kansas University. This is an opportunity you should not miss. Go and you will not regret it. Show your loyalty to your school.
Kansas University has long felt the need of something that would bring the students together as one body and arouse enthusiasm and college spirit. The lack of this has been significantly felt in all phases of University life. It has perhaps been displayed least in athletics, but even here the student body and faculty have not supported the endeavors of the University as they ought. This has been conspicuously seen in our attempt to maintain a University lecture course and in our inter-collegiate debates and oraciones. The students go on, each his own way, thinking of his particular work and his individual part in the University, with nothing to arouse him and bring him to a full appreciation of the University and to the realization that much is due to it from him; that everything the University enters into is of great importance to him and he ought to do what he can for its success; that as a part of the University, its triumphs and successes are his own, and its defeats, his defeats. As a means of obviating this, the plan of holding convocations has been instituted in the University, the second one of which was held Monday in commemoration of the birth of Lincoln and Darwin and was highly successful. The enthusiasm and true college spirit manifested was most gratifying. The convocation is of utmost value in promoting in student and faculty genuine loyalty and love for the University. Already we see the change it is bringing about in our feeling towards the University and it will continue to foster and encourage enthusiasm and interest in this University until in athletics, oratory, or whatever else the University may enter, the students and faculty will be filled
with a zeal to give their personal efforts for its success. With this energy and support Kansas University will advance as never before,
SOCIETY.
Among many charming features that distinguished the marriage of Miss France Blossom Matteson and Mr. Justin De Wit Bowersock, celebrated at the home of Mr and Mrs. Frederick Sierling Doggett law Wednesday evening, was the pleasant or formality that is possible to combine with the elegance of a house wedding. The ceremony was performed at one end of the wide hall where a bank of palms of an ferns gave the effect of a tropic groove and in the midst of which the white frocks of the bride and her maids were very pretty to see. All the first floor was decorated with palms and ferns exclusively. The Rev. Dr. Henry Hopkins performed the ceremony, the bride and groom's parents being grouped near by in the doorways. The wedding gown was a beautiful creation of white grene dine trimmed with chantilly point over which was worn a Brussels veil fastener with lilies of the valley which also composed the splendid shower bouquet. All the maids wore white Swiss gowns and carried meteor roses, except the maid to honor, whose flowers were white roses and valley lilies. All the maids wore whitenius Louis XVI bow knots in the hair Zimmerschied's orchestra played the bridal music. The attendants were Miss Don Bowersock, of Lawrence, the groom's sister, as maid of honor and Mr Irving Hill, also of Lawrence the best mam. Miss Lavindi Tough, Miss Mary Gilbert Karnes, May May Coatsworth, and Miss Adal Charles Hudson were the maids and Mr Osborn Van Brunt, Mr.W. B. McDonald Mr. John C. Meredith and Mr. Johr Tough the other attendants. Supper was served in the third floor ball room, the bride and groom leading the way and with their attendants were seated at a round table occupying the middle of the room. In the center of the table was a large silver bowl of meteor roses, the bride's cake occupying one side and the groom's the other. Both were beautifully decorated. Guests were served at small tables decked with meteor roses, these being the only flowers used. When the bride cut her cake she summoned her maids to cut their slices, but when Miss Hudson had cut the piece containing the ring, the others refused to temp fate further, so the dime and thinble remained uncut. Mr. Bowersock and his men followed the same rite with the groom's cake. The groom's parents, Congressman-elect and Mrs.J. D. Bowersock, received with Mr. and Mrs. Doggett, and his sisters, the Misses Mary, Gene and Margerie Bower-sock, were also in attendance. Other out of town guests were Mrs.J. B. Doggett, Mrs. Sturgess and Miss Babcock of Chicago; Mrs.Frank Oglebay, Mrs.Matthew Foster, Mrs.W. M. Abernathy, Mrs.Ha Brent and Mrs.Joseph A Suydam assisted Mrs.Doggett.
Mr. and Mrs. Bowersock are taking a Florida bridal trip. After their return they will live at 10:32 Pennsylvania avenue, where they will be special at home to friends during April. — K.C. Star
The social events of the past week though not as numerous as usual were perhaps even more enjoyable. Of these the dancing party given Friday evening by the Barb girl was the most delightful. Pythian hall was beautifully decorated in green, which with the red electric lights gave a most charming effect. The National colors and flags were also used in the decorations around the walls and over the balcony, where many pretty cosy corners were fitted up. In one corner of the room punch was served during the evening from a dainty booth. Steinberg's orchestra of Topeka furnished excellent music for the dancing. Mrs. Mary McCullum Smith and Mr. T. Davenport Smith led the grand march which began at 9 o'clock and the programs were given out by Miss Bertha Bowen and Miss Lee Reease. The guests were received by, Mrs. Sparr, and Misses Reese, Bowen, Peck and Best. Those present from out of town were Messrs. Will L. Walker of Kansas City, and Asa Canavan of Horton.
Miss Mabel Rogers entertained very delightfully last Saturday evening with a valentine party. Signal games were played during the evening and the prizes were won by Mrs. John Killworth and Mr. W. B. Graham. Among those present were Mr. and Mrs. John Killworth, Mrs. O'Brien Misses Pugh, Moore, Kane, Knight, Towne, Sterling, Mills, Gillham, Watson, Clarke and Douthart. Messrs Barber, Rogers, Hoyt, Peairs, Wood, Art Wood, O'Brien, Kane; Graham, Kohl and Shinn.
Monday afternoon Mrs. Arthur Weaver gave a very enjoyable whist party, for the Misses Plumb of Emporia who have been her guests for the past two weeks. Prizes were won by Mrs. F. H. Hodder and Miss
Helen Sutliff. Mrs. Weaver's guests were Meadames Harry Pierce of Junction City, Fred Dobson of Ottawa, John Spencer of Omaha, William H. Brown of New York, C E. Esterly, Elmer Pierson, F H.

The museum has received a collection of fossils, of about 100 species from southeastern Kansas, donated some time ago, by the Rev. John Rennett of Pittsburg.
A fine specimen of mososaur will shortly be placed in the museum. It was gotten in western Kansas last summer by the Kansas geological surveying party.
SAVAGE
In spite of the extreme cold of last Saturday evening a few members gathered at North college. An impromptu program was carried out. Mr. Morscher spoke of the "Advantages of the Study of Astronomy." Mr. E. H. Sellards told "Some Things About Law." Mr. Logan gave "Some Advantages of Making Your Way Through School." Mr. E. J. Sellards spoke on the choice of a profession.
Monday morning the seniors appeared in the convocation in caps and gowns for the first time. Although there were only forty of the possible hundred present, the appearance of these gave a dignified bearing to the meeting. The cap and gown custom is a pretty one and ought to be carried out by the University in future years. The members of the senior class are exceedingly handsome with one or two exceptions and the unique cap and gown only enhances the general appearance of of the class. Each senior as he entered was carefully surveyed by the assembly and received just or unjust criticism as to appearance. Everybody watched eagerly for the appearance of Seeds and Shinn. Seeds came but Shinn's costume was not finished owing to the fact that it requires so many stitches.
Base Ball.
Wanted.
Owing to the bad weather the candidates for the 'Varsity base ball nine have been unable to show their metal upon the diamond so far this year. Notwithstanding [this] however, they have been constantly practicing indoors, and when good weather comes around again the students will undoubtedly see some very good material and material that will not be slow in getting in good base ball trim, upon McCook field.

COL. HAM IS COMING
The Famous Humorist Will Lecture on "The Snollygaster in Politics" Friday Night
The treat of the year in the lecture line will come off Friday night, February 24 at the Methodist church. Col. H. W. J. Ham the famous humorist and lecturer will deliver his lecture on "The Snolly goster in Politics." Over 40 per cent of Col. Ham's engagements have been return dates. This speaks for itself. A full band has been secured to give a free concert as usual to the ticket holders before the lecture. The Columbus Ohio, Despatch of his lecture:
"From the introductory sentence to the last word, Orator Ham had his audience laughing, bowling, cheering, and applauding. He was the lion of the occasion. His word picture of the 'Snollygoster in Politics' met with instant recognition. When Col. Ham finished the entire audience rose and gave him three cheers." Mr. Ham captures a discriminating and intelligent audience. Beneath the lightening flashes of wit the Georgia editor keeps a deeper current of noble thought moving that holds his audience. Mr. Ham is a southern orator and as a story-teller cannot be beat. Every K. U. student should hear Ham. Usual price, 50c, 35c, 25c and 15c, so everybody can go. Tickets on sale by agents on the Hill and at Mrs. Prentisses, corner Massachusetts and Quincy; also Rowlands & Benders, 710 Massachusetts street, where the seat chart will be open Tuesday morning.

AMUSEMENTS.
HOGAN'S ALLEY
The famous Yellow Kid, who is known from ocean to ocean as the favorite of Princes and Potentates, is to visit this city on Friday, February 24. He brings with him his court of popular personages from the famous "Hogan's Alley" and will dispense his royal favors in the shape of bon mots, witticisms, popular songs, humorous sketches, and a prolonged evening of hilarious enjoyment at the Bowersock's opera house.
Dancing.
Like the luscious Georgia watermelon and the Delaware peach, or Christmas and Fourth of July, the Sousa band tour is perennial, and as joyously anticipated as any of the others. As a matter of accuracy the big Sousa band moves twice a year, September to December, January to June. With an invariable summer season June to September, that laid out for last summer throughout Europe being rendered inadvisable by reason of the late war. The present is the fourteenth Sousa tour, which fact of itself is forceful evidence that the Sousa concerts are exactly the right thing; that they are just what the people of the whole country want, enjoy most, and patronize most freely. Sousa understands the people and they understand him, hence the combination of the two forces on any given occasion is sure to overflow theatre or hall. Sousa is ever consistent and bountiful in all things that go to make his concerts simply irresistable, but in no one thing is he more keen, alive and discriminating than that of presenting the very newest and best novelties of the time. For the present tour most attractive things are offered. The soloists are Miss Maud Davies, soprano: Miss Dorothy Hoyle, violinist and Arthur Pryor, trombone. The concert will occur at Bowersock opera house the 23rd.
Miss Eva Brown's second term of dancing begins February 11, at Pythian hall Telephone 210-2.
Professors Hunter and Barber addressed the Biological club last Tuesday. Prot. Hunter's subject was "The Habits and Life History of Spiders." This address connected nicely with one given some weeks ago by Dr. William on the "Habits of Wasps;" as the spiders furnish the food for the wasps. The speaker explained the structure of spiders, using many drawings and illustrations. He spoke of the different methods of rearing the young. The cocoons of one variety were shown which had been taken from a bush in a garden and which contained from one to three hundred eggs.
Biological Club.
The speaker continued: One spider will spin and fill from five to ten such cocoons. After the eggs are hatched the young are cannibalistic and the strong devour the weak. Spiders are divided into two classes, the wandering and the sedentary,
The latter spin the webs. These webs differ much from each other, and are carefully defined and classified and sometimes furnish the only data for distinguishing certain species. The spinnerets, the spider's organs for making the web, were explained by means of illustrations.
The professor continued: "The spider's method of starting a web is very interesting. If it wishes to start one in the corner of the room it will fasten the web on one side, raise its abdomen, spin out the web, as it walk around to the other side. When it has reached the place selected, it stretches the web and fastens it down. If it wishes to spin a web from one bush to another, or to the ground, it throws out a large amount of viscid fluid, and then runs out the web until it is fastened to some object by being blown against it. It then stretches and fastens it down, and then strengthens this by running over it and spinning a second web to it. Cases have been observed where a spider started a web thirty-three spaces from where it was fastened. Part of the web is made sticky so as to catch insects. On windy days the webs are made smaller. Young spiders make smaller webs than old ones.
The spider swathes its prey, wraps it up in a web, and then only sucks out the fluids, unless it is very hungry. Spiders sometimes store food by hanging it away. The trap-door spider was shown with some of its peculiar dwellings, the hole in the ground covered by a hinged hd. Bites of spiders are never fatal. The illustrations consisting of many pictures, drawings and preserved specimens added much to the interest of the address.
Prof. Barber spoke on "The Bacillus of Influenza or La Gripe." He said the earliest report of the disease is made in the twelfth century. The first appearance of the malady in America is noted in Massachusetts in 1627. Since then it has appeared twenty-two times. The great epidemic of 1889-90 seems to have originated in central Asia.
- The baccilli are of small size, they will not grow on the ordinary media, but seem to require human blood for development. They live for two or three weeks and are destroyed by drying, in two or three hours if dried rapidly, and in twenty-four hours if dried slowly. Animals are not affected by the baccilli as humans are except the monkey. A rabbit was not affected at all as a human.
In the discussion it was suggested that stimulants be used in the treatment of the disease. The various symptoms and effects were also mentioned.
LAW SCHOOL NOTES.
Hale Hamilton has entered the Junior class of the Law school.
The Seniors are feeling better since it has been reported that only three flunked in Torts.
The Seniors are taking work under Judge Benson.
The first moot court case was decided in favor of Von Dreeber and Lockwook for the defendant.
At the session of the moot court last Friday afternoon, Prof. Burdick handed down his decision in the case of the week previous and another case was tried which was argued by four members of the Senior class.
The Juniors are thinking of organizing a base ball team in the near future which judging from the material in the class will be a winner.
Read This.
If you see a Junior approach Prof. Burdick quite cautiously and say something to him in an undertone, you may rest assured that he is trying to find out whether or not he flunked in partnership.
FOWLER SHOP NOTES.

Mr. Adrey of Kansas City, paid the shops a visit this week. Mr. Adrey has been, until very recently, in the employ of the Northeast Electric Railway at Kansas City; he is now interested in electrical work in Uah.
Mr. Flickinger is able to be around again after a severe attack of the Grippe.
Prof. Blake has purchased seven transformers of various makes. These will be used in the dynamo testing laboratory in connection with the work in alternating currents.
Laboratory work has begun in Prof. Palmer's testing rooms with an increased attendance over that of any previous year, sixteen being the present enrollment.
There was no shop work Monday or Tuesday on account of lack of coal.
The warm days are welcomed nowhere more than at the shops. It required a constant effort by those in charge to keep the pipss from freezing during the cold weather, aside from this trouble the warm air inside condensed on the cold ceilings and walls causing a continual dripping upon the tools and machines.
The new brass tool checks have been distributed among the students this week. They are neat and artistic in design; on one side is the student's number, on the other "Fowler Shops."
Several tons of machinery steel were received Tuesday; this makes seven tons in all, including tool steel and wrought iron, which have been stored in an iron rack, ingeniously devised by Mr. Ward, situated back of the machine room stairs.
Two small dynamos were received this week for the dynamo testing laboratory. These generators are of the well-known Crocker-Wheeler type-made by the company of the same name, with shops at Ampere, New Jersey. The machines are so arranged that they may be run as series, shunt or compound wound dynamos, two sets of extra field magnets being furnished for this purpose.
At Chapel.
Chapel services at the University are held each morning at 8:50 lasting 20 minutes. The chapel director Dr. Jas. Naisimph and the chapel committee invite the several pastors of Lawrence and members of the faculty to lead. Attendance on these exercises is optional.
During this week Prof. W. H. Carruth has given talks on the foundation principles of our form of government. He notes a tendency to discard the past and accept new and untried methods. Critics of the fathers say they were visionary, good and wise for their day and generation but our times demand more. It is not conclusive that because they erred that all their utterances are overthrown. They thought long and hard before writing these principles. "Yesterday knows all there is—now is occupied with searching trying to know."

A GRATIFYING LETTER.
Lieutenant Allard Was Highly Estesed by the Company He Commanded.
Mr. D. S. Alford yesterday received a letter from Kansas City, Kansas, containing extracts from a letter from one of the Co.B. boys who was under Lieutenant Alford of this city, who was killed in the recent fighting at Manila, which gave indication of the high esteem in which the young company commander was held by his men:
One letter says "Was out today and got caught in a little rain. When I got back met Lieutenant Alford; he gave me a good talking to for being out in the damp weather, made me go and get vaccinated and said he would have to give a nurse for me and told me I was not strong enough to report for duty yet. I tell you Lieutenant Alford looks after his boys well, and we all love him." This is written by a young man who had just gotten out of the hospital in San Francisco in time to accompany the regiment to Manila.
At the time Lieutenant Allford was transferred to Co. B there was considerable feeling against him among the members of Co. B and their friends, but the same letter that contained the above had the following paragraph: "Tell the people of Kansas City, Kansas, that Lieutenant Allford, in command of Co. B., although not a Kansas City, Kansas, boy he looks after the welfare of the Co. B boys as well as any man could, and everyone of the company likes him, and is satisfied."
Lawrence is blessed with wonderful advantages for the young to get an education, but parents from a distance need to be warned of the many dangers that threaten to work the moral rain of their sons and daughters, who board here to attend school. There are many houses of ill-fame where the young are enticed and entrapped, and many joints distributed over the city where the students visit very frequently. Many well-dressed and nice-looking young men students are seen going to and from these joints. One in particular, located where the writer has to pass frequently, gets a large patronage from the students, and it is run by the very lowest class of colored folks. I am also informed by parties who ought to know that they have seen great quantities of beer and whiskey unloaded at different club rooms and some boarding places of the University students. So it will be well for parents to look well to the moral standing of the surroundings of their children there. We do not expect to get any thanks for this information, but deem it our duty to sound the warning. As to our school advantages, they are unsurpassed, and any one who tries will surely succeed in getting an education. W.
Judging from the structure of the foregoing article one might safely infer that its writer never attended the University, from the tone of the article, that its writer is not friendly to the University, is a 2x2 man, who perhaps could manage a one-acre farm with fair success, and would probably pull up his neighbors little corn for spite.
Such reports have but little weight, for the average Kansan knows something concerning Lawrence, the University and the students. Yet they are detrimental to the school and a few words of explanation will be necessary.
Lawrence is a moral city. It is perhaps more free from joints and disreputable places than any city of its size in the state. The citizens are cultured and wish the city kept free from disreputable places. The refining influence of the University has much to do with this. No city of 11,000 inhabitants is entirely free from such places. It is almost impossible to keep them weeded out. There are some here perhaps but they are not numerous nor is Lawrence a collection of dives and holes, but a clean moral city.
There are from five to six hundred young men in the University. They are men who are here for a purpose, they have an ideal and are striving to attain it. They come from Christian homes and a large part of them are active church workers. There may however, be an occasional one who has a drinking propensity. It would be unusual if there were not. Such a great number of men, whether young or old, could not be brought together miscellaneously without finding some who are more or less immoral. This does not mean, however, that the men here are immoral or that the influence is not uplifting
Appeals to Your Intelligence.
When all is said there is certainly a wonderful satisfaction when leaving a theatre, to feel that you have seen something you can recall with delight; to have seen a story developed that has excited your interest; you have laughed uproariously at what happened naturally, and which was not dragged in such senseless fashion as to be an insult to your intelligence. Such a play is "Hogan's Alley."

Howard
We often wondered if his name had really influenced his character and that because he had been named Howard he felt in duty bound to find out the how and why of everything. At any rate he came to be known by the name of How and no name so exactly fitted anybody as his did.
He was a round face sturdy little boy of four or two summers, with freckles and eager eyes, and a nose a little aspiring at the tip. I think he could ask more questions than two his size. It had begun as soon as he could speak at all and his little round mouth seemed to have taken its shape from the "whys" and the "hows" that had passed through it.
"What's the wain for, mama? What's the wain for?" Howard had asked when he was 3 years old and his mother, with her usual care and wise exactness, had told him that it was the rain that made things grow, that if it were not for the rain the baby trees would not grow larger, nor grass springing up grow tall.
Howard listened with wide open eyes and when she had finished, turned away satisfied. The next day he saw a rat for the first time in his short life. He was greatly excited.
"Oh, Mema, come quick!" he cried.
"Did it wain on that mouse, did it wain on that mouse?"
When Howard crawled through the little hole in the fence that separated his yard from ours and came tramping up the walk to make us a call, we were always glad to see him where we knew it meant a half hour of steady discharge of questions from a little questioner who could not be satisfied by evasive or lazy answers.
He stood on the garden walk one day and watched my grandfather make his garden.
"Mr. Bown, Mr. Bown," we heard repeated in his cager little voice and each time there followed questions thick and fast.
'what you doin' to pant, Mr. Brown?'
*Braun, Houdt*.
"Peas, Howard."
Mr. Brown! Mr. Brown! what if zay should start to grow ezer way?
"How deep down do 'oo put 'em?"
"When will zay com froo?"
"About three inches."
But by this time Mr. Brown was deep in his work and couldn't stop every minute to answer the little fellow, so kept silent. But Howard stood with his feet apart, his hands in his pocket, his broad-brimmed straw hat d back on his curly head, his whole attitude showing perseverance and steadiness of purpose.
"Mr. Bown, Mr. Bown." Mr. Brown turned slowly and looking the little fellow n the face said with a solemn earnestness,
Without another word Howard turned and walked away. That night when his sister was putting him to bed he asked with grave solemnity,
"Good gwaculous, Fwankie did or ever have anybody say appalation to 'oo?'"
'Well don't 'oo ever lend him anyfing again, 'fankie.'
"Why, why not. Howard?"
He had kept the long word in *hir head*
all day and no doubt thought it must mean
something *very dreadful*.
"Why yes, Howard, sometimes."
"What's a bargain, mama? What's a bargain?" Howard asked his mother one day.
"It's getting more than you expect to or usually get for a given amount of money, dear."
Not long after this there arrived at Howard's home a pair of twins, two little sisters. Howard stood and looked at them $ r $

Department of Mining Engineering for the University.
Chancellor Snow and other members of the faculty think that the time has fully arrived for the establishment of a school of Mining engineering in the University of Kansas. For quite a number of years young men have been enrolled at the University who took all the studies they could which in any way helped to prepare them for assayers, prospectors, mine engineers, consulting mining engineers, etc.
As the various courses are now arranged it is possible to give almost as much chemistry as is given in the best mining engineering schools in America. The departments of civil engineering, electrical engineering, and physical geology an mineralogy likewise are already teaching many subjects required in such courses. By utilizing these courses as now given, with such slight modifications as could readily be made, a course in mining engineering could be added to the curriculum fully equal to that of the best mining engineering schools in the country, with only a slight addition of teaching forces.
With the rapid increase of mining interests all over the country in Kansas, Missouri, Colorado, and other Rocky Mountain states particularly, there is a growing demand by the young men for such opportunities of study. At the present time there are from twelve to eighteen students enrolled in the University who would take a mining engineering course could it be given them. If the course were offered this number naturally would be greatly increased making an enrollment in such a school that would compare favorably with the enrollment in some other departments. Chancellor Snow, who is constantly in touch with the wishes of the people of the state has recognized this demand and strongly advocates the establishing of the Mining Engineering course
Chancellor Snow, who is constantly in touch with the wishes of the people of the state has recognized this demand and strongly advocates the establishing of the Mining Engineering course as is shown from his recommendations to the regents on the subject.

THE SIXTEENTH ANNUAL CONTEST.
Was Perhaps the Strongest and Closest in the History of the Association.
K. U. TAKEST THIRD PLACE.
Losing Second to Baker by Three-fourths of One Per Cent.—Northrop of Kansas Wesleyan, Salina, Takes First.—Baker, Expecting to Win First, Comes Home Sore All Over. The Little University at Ottawa Also Very Sore.
Yesterday morning the contest fever began to be aroused on the bill and by ten o'clock a considerable delegation had decided to go down on the morning train and classes had to go. Only about fourteen of the University men went down at that time, but the trainmen were very solicitous for the safety of Baker University and locked both doors of the coach so that we would do no damage to those who joined us at Baldwin.
After the arrival at Ottawa, "Rock Chalk" was in evidence although there was no particular excitement.
in the afternoon Ottawa University held a very pleasant reception for the visiting students at the University. Their rooms were tastefully decorated, their welcome was hearty and all who attended enjoyed and appreciated the hospitality which they offered us.
The event of the afternoon was, however, the arrival of the train from Baldwin and Lawrence at 5:20. This was expected to be the signal for trouble and expectations were not disappointed. Ottawa had been hunting trouble all day and was just aching for a scrap, while our old hereditary enemy, Baker, was on the same train, and when the contingents from the two schools got off the train, friction was liable to result.
Kansas University was on the rear of the train, and the effort of the allied forces at the depot was to push us still farther back. It ended in Baker's occupation of a brick pile near by, which seemed to furnish missiles well suited for Baker's style of warfare. One of these four-pound bricks came flying into the midst of the K. U. crowd. It struck Vandruff, one of our basket ball men, cutting a deep gash in his head.
But headed by the band the K. U. delegation marched up the middle of the street to the inspiring music of Sousa's melodies. The Methodist and Baptist rooters had passed us on the way and formed in a solid phalanx across the street, with the avowed intention of carrying K. U. back. We held them until the band finished their piece and then the mix-up began. We followed Uncle Jimmy's advice implicitly. We didn't start anything. It wasn't advisable. But we fought a good fight, even if it wasn't altogether successful against the combined hosts of Methodists from B. U. and Baptists from O. U. assisted by boot blacks, policemen, draymen and the city of Ottawa. In fact we rather lost out on that fight before the force of overwhelming numbers. But we did our best and they found that K. U. wasn't easy at any rate, if we did have a small delegation.
After supper and repairs the delegations found their way to the Rohnbaugh opera house which is the finest in the state and well adopted for the contest.
We finally had to take an hour's recess for repairs and supper. No serious injuries are reported, although the merchants of Ottawa profited by the sale of the half dozen hats and caps which bad to be purchased after the battle.
The visitors streamed in and soon college yells burst forth from strong lungs and it was a struggle to see which should
predominate. As on the street the Methodists and Baptists combined against K. U., yet the old "Rock Chalk" was easily heard. The Presbyterians of Emporia also piped in occasionally. The little band of Congregationalists from Topeka also yelled once when it was quiet. Just before the curtain arose the Methodists and Baptists tried to "josh" K. U. They play marbles and spin tops and the supposed "josh" was "Foot-ball Foot-ball K. S. U." sung to the tune of "hot time." It was not a decided hit.
THE CONTEST.
At 8:40 the curtain arose and President Foster after announcing the purpose of the meeting, introduced Rev. Mr. Chas M. Sharp, of Lawrence, who gave the invocation. The mandolin club, of Ottawa University then played a selection.
F. W. Games of Baker, who tried to win last year, gave his onation on "Faith, the Dominant Power in Progress," Mr. Games was a little stiff in his delivery, but his composition was quite entertaining, abounding in pretty language and graceful figures. His voice was not strong enough for his flights and often became squeaky. His subject caught the ministers and they ranked him high in thought, while the other judge marked him low. It was the little null that won him second place.
Clarence N. Swihart, of Midland College, Atchison, then spoke on "An Uncrowned King." His oration was a tribute to Gladstone. The subject was treated in the conventional biographical style. Mr. Swihart was not perfectly at ease before his audience. His fingers twiced and his position was not graceful.
Following Mr. Elliott was G.W. Trout of Ottawa, who finished the series of
After a vocal solo by Miss Janette K. Bull of Baker, the winner of the evening, Mr. A. C. Northrop of Salina, spoke on "The Changing Policy of the United States." He gave the first of the expansion orations. He was graceful and his delivery was live. Mr. Northrup is a strong believer in expansion and presented some very logical arguments upholding his position. Following Mr. Northrop William K. Arthur of Washburn presented the second expansion oration sentuled "Altruism America's Mission." He too was a strong expansionist but was not so clear and concise in his statements as Mr. Northrop. His gestures were a little crude and he did not enter fully into the spirit of his piece. The judges ranked him at the latter end of the list.
The Washburn Glee club sang a song, and a moment's recess was given for everybody to stretch, and then our own Mr. Elliott appeared. His oration, "What of the future," was appreciated, perhaps more than any other of the evening. Mr. Elliott spoke in a plif., straightforward manner, which took with his listeners. His thought was excellent, and his delivery clearly brought it out. When he had finished, K. U. and a great many of their friends felt confident of winning first place. On first ranking Mr. Elliott tied Games of Baker for second place; in the second ranking he lost by three-fourths of one per cent.
four orations on expansion. Mr. Trout's ministerial delivery was not well adopted to his sneech. His friends were quite confident of his winning but the judges could not see it.
The Mandolin club of Ottawa played a pretty selection, after which Carl Rankin of the College of Emporia spoke on "Mirabean." He was followed by C. W. Meyer, of Winfield, who enlisted Bismark, his subject being "The Policy of Bismarck." Both men spoke quite well.
The painful wait for the decision now began (over), not anew.
"Rock Chalk" sounded through the the building in good shape. Our delegation wasn't so large but it was all there, and all there to yell. There is no denying that "Rock Chalk," Jay Hawk, K U1" can carry better than any college vell that was ever invented. A small body of students yelling that can down any number of other yells, and a brass band besides if necessary.
Speaking of bands, the K. U. band did fine work at Ottawa. Its playing while the decision of the judges was being awaited was especially appreciated. The band is an organization the University has to be proud of.
During the intervals preceding the announcement of the decision, there were frequent and vociferous calls for Decker. Finally Mr. Decker appeared and said that in the absence of the president he was requested to make some announcements as to the results. After several statements as to the disagreement of the judges he announced that the decision was no yet ready. He made one of the hits on the evening with all.
But K. U's, troubles were not yet over. On the way home Baker was still looking for trouble. When they left the train at Baldwin, some of the gentlemen with big clubs invited us out on the platform. Others threw snow balls and clogs into the windows that were open and ended by putting a rock through one of the window panes.
In view of past events, the city authorities evidently expected a rush for the stage and the mayor and several policemen were present to guard the stage doors. Their vigilance was wholly unnecessary although those who wished found easy access to the stage by way of the boxes.
When the announcement was finalized by President Foster giving Northrop first, Games second, and Elliott third neither Baker nor Ottawa were jubilant. The yelling ceased from that time on.
The ranking of the judges was as follow-

AN EASY VICTORY.
FOR THE JUNIORS OVER THE JUNIOR LAWS AND FOR THE 'VARSITY OVER THE CITY Y. M. G. A.
The Junior-Junior Law Game Was a Good Exhibition of Fast Ball. 26 to 2 Does Not Give the Complete Details.-Juniors Had Easy Prey
The 'Varsity-Y. M. C. A. Game Was Quite Snappy the First Half But, During the Second Half, Both Teams Were Almost Completely Overcome by That Feeling of Early Spring.
Those who saw the games on Saturday evening realized that the 'Varsity is playing much better basket ball than was played two weeks ago. The team work is better and there is more life in the game
The Junior-Junior Law game, although one-sided, was perhaps as interesting as any game played at the rink this year. Every man in the game was on the alert and seemed aware of the responsibility placed upon him. The luster of the Laws' record was tarnished, but they fought manfully to the end. Hess was the only old player on the Law team and, although the other men played remarkably well for the amount of practice they have had, it was impossible for them to cope with the Juniors.
The Junior team was composed mostly of men who have played considerable basetball. When Avery and Dennis and Dewey go into a basket ball game the spectators expect them to do good work and they always do. The Junior team showed careful, consistent practice which alway wins out in basket ball.

The 'Varsity game was billed as the big game of the evening and would have been had the men played their regulation game. The Varsity team played careful ball the first half, yet making some phenomenal plays. It was evident that the Y. M. C. A. men had a hard task before them if they won out. Whitney had thrown two difficult goals when Pulver of the Y. M. C. A. team threw two goals in rapid succession causing the game to grow lively. By quick ready playing the 'Varsityran its score to 14 before the first half was over, holding its opponents down to 4. During the second half neither side scored. The line up was as follows: 'Varsity: forwards; F. Owens, J. Hall; center, Whitman; backs, H. Owens and Shipman. Y. M. C. A: forwards; Murphy and Procter; center, Pulver; backs, Williams and Lang.

Let all students keep in mind that the masque will present Othello Friday evening, March 3. None can afford to miss it.
The legislature will probably pass the bill providing for a fire equipment for the University. It is something that we have long been in need of.
The continued cold weather is interfering with base ball practice and the players will have to work all the harder when warm weather does come.
One of the greatest of educational advantages in reach of the students is the course of entertainments which is being given by members of the faculty and under the supervision of the officers of the University, yet very few are making use of this course. To all students, and especially those interested in music, we might say that this course is invaluable. Two numbers have been given and if the remaining numbers keep up the same grade, this series will offer one of the finest courses ever given at the University. The students seem to think that anything given at the University outside of their regular work is mainly to obtain their money, that they must practice economy in order to complete their education. This is generally true of entertainments, concerts, and lectures given by foreign companies and lecturers; but this is entirely different. Here is a course given by members of the faculty, assisted by some of the music students, at a very low price, merely enough to pay for lighting and heating, containing a vast store of information, that by paying out such a small sum for this course of ten lectures, a student would receive as much information and retain it longer, since the lectures are pictured out before his eyes, as he would acquire from a half a dozen books. The students do not know what they are missing. We believe that if the managers would give a free entertainment say, like the one given Tuesday evening the students would come out and see for themselves, and from henceforth they would be regular attendants.
PHYS.CS AND CHEMISTRY NOTES.
Professor Blake received word from Mr. Jio that he was in San Francisco, having just returned from Japan, and that he would be in Lawrence in a few weeks. Mr. Jio is a graduate in Electrical Engineering class of '98.
Mr. Lindly, class 87, visited the Pharmacy departments Monday. He is the proprietor of a drug store in McPhersen.
One of the most interesting classes is Professor Baileys sanitary and Applipl chemistry. Here the student studies profuse of the most ecumic and praticl value. At present they are making a study of heating and ventilation. Monday Capt, Haskell gave them a talk along this line "Warmth and Ventilation." Tuesday the students visited the University heating plant, Haskell Institute will be the nex in order.
Students as well as others wanting coal, will find A. J. Griffin's the most convenient and best place to trade. His prices are the lowest, coal the best, and delivery is prompt and satisfactory.
ORGAN LECTURE-RECITAL
Professor Penny Biggs His Series o
Lectures on the Evolution of
Christian Architecture and
Sacred Music.
The first of the series of organ lecture-recitals, the second number of the course of educational entertainments, was given in the University chapel Tuesday evening to a very small audience. The lecture-recital was conducted by Mr. George B. Penny, dean of the Fine Arts department, assisted by the chapel choir, the Freshman vocal class, and the St. Cecilia society. The entertainment is one of the series of seven lectures given by Mr. Penny upon the evolution of Christian architecture and sacred music.
The first lecture dealt with the early temple architecture and music from Abraham to Christ. Every phase and change in the evolution of architecture and musical instruments was illustrated by a large number of screen pictures.
The entertainment opened with an organ and chorus selection from Handel's "Creation," together with illustrations on the screen of the creation of the world from "Chaos" to the "Fall of Man," and the expulsion of Adam and Eve from the garden of Eden.
Mr. Penny then lectured on the types of the primitive musical instruments and the early fomes of architecture. Concerning the early musical instruments, there were three types, percussion, as the timbul or drum, wind, as the pipe or flute, and the string or the harp. The first, the percussion, is the same today, namely, the drum and cymbal's; while the wind instruments have evolved until we have the modern pipe organ; and the stringed instrument, such as the lyre, has become the pianoforte.
The three forms of architecture, the intel, or square frame, the round arch, and the pointed arch were best illustrated by the "Parthenon," at Athens, "St. Marks" it Venice, and "Notre Dame" at Paris, respectively.
He showed that there were also three types or forms of musical composition, following and being closely related to the three architectural forms.
He then passed to the discussion of the architecture and music of the Chaleleans and Assyrians, and gave illustrations of the buried cities of those ancient countries, of Nippur (restor ed) the oldest temple in this world, and of the early musical instruments.
He called attention to the fact that in many of the ancient bas-reliefs the percussion sounds were represented by the clapping of hands.
Part two of his lecture dealt with Egyptian architecture and music, and then he passed to Palestine and Jerusalem, where were shown Solomon's temple and the later temples.
In parts two and three were introduced the organ and chorus in assisting him to represent the "March of the Sons of Ham from Chaldea to Egypt," by Rubenstein, the "March of the Sons of Shem from Chaldea to Palestine." by Rubenstein. "O Isis and Osiris," by Mozart, and several other of the screen pictures.
The recital concluded with the selection of "Nazareth" by Gounod, by the grand chorus.
The next lecture-recital will be given Tuesday evening, February 28, when Mr. Penny will discuss the architecture and music 'From Augustine to Charlemagne'.
It has been said that all things come to him who waits. Certainly about such experience comes to the attendant at University chapel. From the silent prayers of last week it was soul-refreshing to turn in with Rev. D. W. McQuiston in fervent prayer Christian love has been the theme' of the week except Friday morning when the topic was Elocution in the University of Kansas.
At Chapel.
Monday morning I John second chapter, was the basis of talk, on the importance of Christian love. This was followed by the consideration of the nature of Christian love Tuesday when John 15 was used for scripture lesson. That familiar corner stone of all church and lodge creed, Corinthians 13 led to the closing thoughts, the source of Christian love. A beautifully presented illustration of the fountain and its source served to impress the truth that the source of love is God and "He is the way, the truth, and the life."
At the regular meeting of "Der Deutsche Verom" Friday, the 17th, Mrs. W. H. Carruth delivered in German an exceedingly interesting and instructive lecture on "Freytag and His Works." The Verein was delighted with the talk and the pleasing manner of the speaker, and on motion tendered Mrs. Carnuth an unanimous vote of thanks. Her characterization of Freytag's works and her evident appreciation of them caused an involuntary desire on the part of many of the hearers to learn more of the many valuable books of this gifted author.

The marriage of Mr. Hubert C. Avery to Miss Nellie V. Criss took place last Sunday evening at the home of the bride's parents on Tennessee street. The wedding ceremony was performed by Rev. W. E. Brehm of the English Lutheran church, after which a dainty wedding dinner was served. Both the young people were well known in University circles. Mr. Avery being captain-elect of the football team. The announcement of the wedding was a great surprise to their friends, but hearty congratulations are extended by all who know them.

In the conservatory Miss Wheeler and Miss Smelser served punch and Miss Poff assisted in the dining room. In the early part of the afternoon the guests were exclusively the active members of the Kappa Alpha Theta.
Last Saturday evening the Seniors were most delightfully entertained by Miss Elizabeth Stone and Mr. Arthur Ide. The house was decorated in crimson and cream—the class colors—and carnations. In the library Miss Stella Case served coffee during the evening and Misses Florence Parrot, Daisy Dixon, and Ruth Whitman assisted in the dining room. The guests all appeared in their caps and gowns, and the latter part of the evening was spent in singing college songs.

KENT CLUB.
At the regular session on last Saturday, Mr. Barrow gave an excellent declamation, and Mr. Johnson conducted a parliamentary quiz, R. P. B. Wilson spoke from a non-partisan standpoint upon "The Political Outlook."
Attorneys Landers and Lyons, for the affirmative, and Attorneys McGill and Lane, for the negative, discussed the following question: 'Resolved. That the Caar's Policy of Disarmament of Europe Is Not Practical at the Present Time.' This was without doubt the most interesting debate of the Kent club during the term. Each debater well understood the question, and every point was gained only after a stubborn resistance of the opposing speaker. The decision was rendered for the affirmative. After the debate Mr. Hyatt delivered anamusing extempore speech. Mr. Hyatt reported that President McKinley's portrait would soon be received by the Kent club

FOWLER SHOP NOTES
The marble for the new switch board has arrived but must be drilled to receive the instruments before being put in place.
Mr. Ward has received a number of large twist drills for heavy work, also several boxes of tools for the forge room.
A bill that will surely be passed by the legislature, is one appropriating $5000 for a new fire pump for the shops. This will add materially to the equipment as well as afford a protection to the University buildings in general.
A granitoid side walk from the main building to the shops would be appreciated by all, especially in muddy weather.
The general interest taken in the shops is attested by the number of visitors that daily visit them and this is especially noticeable from the fact that the lady visitors are quite as numerous as the gentlemen. Some of them seem a little timid and do not venture far from the door, however let none feel that they are in the way or unwelcome. Those in charge are always glad to give any information concerning the work or machinery.
A new torsion testing machine from the Olsen Company, Philadelphia, is expected to arrive soon. With this machine, the machines in use and one the department expects to build, Prof. Palmer hopes to have a set of machines capable of making exhaustive tests of all materials commonly used in construction work.
The Samens & Halske Company, Chicago, builders of the electric motors used in the machine rooms, have had an expert here investigating the cause of the noise these motors make when in operation. Just what conclusions their man arrived at is not known; however, it is expected that the company will remedy the objectionable feature in some manner.

The Ottawa Mandolin Club was highly appreciated by everyone.
The business meeting of the association was held today.
The "Centennial" was the headquarters and was crowded with delegates.
The object of this meet is to give a stimulus to the work that is carried on in the winter and in doors, the events accordingly should be such as form a part of the regular work of the physical training department. In this way we get an incentive for the regular class work, and therein something to which one may look forward and for which one may strive to excel.
The Indoor Meet.
Again, in this way it brings out men who would not otherwise be seen in the field of athletics. If one class of men play foot-ball, another base-ball another basketball, another engages in track athletics, and yet another in indoor athletics, we have a great number of men engaged in some kind of active sport and each one receiving benefit. For these reasons then the indoor meet should be as different from the out-door meet as i is possible to make it. The events should the refore include work with dumb-bells, wands, clubs, horse, parallel and horizontal bars, besides the athletics that properly belong indoors, such as fence-vaulting, hitch and kick, high kick, climbing rope, peg pole, rope skip, broad and high jumps, fencing, sword exercise and wrestling of different kinds.
The lack of room and opportunity for individual practice in these events is a serious drawback at present; but as soon as the room has been fitted up in Blake Hall for the ladies gymnasium there will be opportunity for all to perfect themselves in their own sport.
Class competition might be encouraged by such an event as a tug-of-war which might be conducted without cheats thus avoiding the strain that is normally associated with this event.
that is usually associated with that event.
The rewards of such a meet should be of a lasting nature rather than such things as last for a short time.
The efforts of the committee will be exerted toward setting up in the University some enduring record of a man's work. A shield has been suggested which would have the names of the winners and the records made. This woulp be kept until a trophy room could be provided, where all the trophies would be kept with the names of the athletes and the pictures of the teams.
It has been suggested to create a new honor, that of a college gymnast, to be given to the person making the best all round record in such events as are taught in class work. This would be open to all amateur students of the University. Another suggestion has been made, that of creating a freshman and sophomore gymnast open to members of these classes respectively, the competition to include only such work as is done in these classes.
The question for debate was "Resolved, that Aaron Burr was guilty of treason." Mr. Anderson and Mr. Torrence affirmed Burr's guilt, while Mr. Burton and Mr. McGill denied it. After a very energetic discussion the question was decided in the affirmative.
A good sized crowd attended the Adelphic last Saturday evening, President Lane presided. Mr. McGill gave the members a parliamentary quiz. This was followed by a speech by Mr. Vale in which he mentioned some needed political reforms. Mr. Spohn delivered a very touching recitation. In an elegantly worded speech, Mr. Williams showed why some men rise above the general level. A short and interesting essay on "The Development of the Mind" was read by Miss Fox.
THE ADELPHIC
After the debate Mr. Wilson, as critic for the evening, reviewed the entire program.
The College Press Association "fizzled" out this year. The scattering delegates were collected and the Association was again placed on its feet and will present a program and give its annual banquet next year. Mr. Post of the WEEKLY staff was elected vice president; Mr. Baker, of the Baker Orange, president.

Thursday's Convocation
A large crowd responded to the music of the University band and as usual the Law school occupied a prominent position in the front of the room and made their presence known.
The mass meeting Thursday noon to hear Elliott's oration developed almost as much enthusiasm as last week's convocation. The same scenes were enacted in regard to the battle of the pamphlets, a plentiful supply of which seems always to be on hand for convocations.
Dean Green opened the meeting urging that a larger delegation be sent to Ottawa to show our University spirit, and also for the sake of self defense if necessary. He advised that the University contingent should start no trouble, but be there if there was to be any.
G P. Elliott then delivered his oration, "What of the Future" which won first place in the local contest.
Mr. Elliott's delivery had noticeably improved since the contest and the large crowd was enthusiastic in its applause.

A Letter from Manila.
Manila, P. I., Jan g —Mr. F.O. Marvin,
Dear Professor: I have been wanting to write to you for months and have been putting it off for various unstable reasons, but now, I will try and write you a few lines to let you know that K. U. boys do not forget their professors.
Well, the Twentieth Kansas after seven months of weary waiting, is at last in the city of Manila, overlooking the scene of Dewey's 'glorious victory. The thoroughness of his work is shown by the wrecks of nine Spanish vessels of war. Five have been raised by Dewey and are now doing work for Uncle Sam.
There are about 12,500 Spanish soldiers here waiting to be taken home. They are very respectful to us boys, giving us the narrow sidewalk and in no wise interfering in any way. They are much better liked than the natives who are ignorant, dirty, almost naked, and very little better than savages. The attitude of the insurgents under Aguirreal is quite threatening.
Aguinaldo tries every means to bring out an attacking body by threats and feints. The Twentieth holds outposts on the extreme left of the line, flanking on the bay. They (the insurgents) played us a sharp trick the other day. In front of and to our left is a huge cane brake. One day a large force of insurgents went to work vigorously and built a bamboo house of large size. We watched them with interest but without suspicion. This house stood about ten days when one dark cloudy night it disappeared and the morning light revealed in its place, built inside of the original house a solid block house built of heavy mahogany logs. * * * These insurgents are cowardly and will fight only at night. They are armed with Mausers, Remington and machettes. You can imagine how an impatient Yankee will worry and stern at this opposition. The boys all want to get at them. Yesterday we were again ordered to stay in quarters with five days rations and 150 rounds of ammunition. We boys from Lawrence often speak and think about old K. U. and her professors. Sergeant Rufo Hazen is well and is doing duty. Roy Haynes is in the band. I have managed in my nine months of service to get the triple chevrons and of course I am very proud of them and mean only to do them honor. The boys wish to be remembered to you.
General Otis awaits instructions from Washington and meanwhile all we do is to hold our own, preserve order and be in readiness for an attack or emergency. Around Manila and Cavite the insurgents have a system of cutouts and a skirmish line. Inside of this line is our line at a distance of 200 to 500 yards from the insurgents. Each army watches every movement of the other.
Manila offers some great inducements to engineers I think. There is about the finest bay in the world and yet there are no deep water piers here. The procrastinating Spaniards, who for years have managed affairs, are to blame. The only piers are in the mouth of the Pasig river, a stream about 200 yards wide and quite swift.
They keep a steam dredge going all the year, yet do not get ahead of the deposit of sediment, and only vessels of 12 or 14 feet draught can get to the piers. Already Americhs have a projected deep water pier on paper, and American engineers and capital are all that is needed. Labor can be obtained at 25c a day.
In electrical work the people are fifty years behind hard. The city is lighted with incandescentes with a few arcs in on the same system. You can see the effect of this when an undersized wire is used. Nearly all of the machinery used here is of English make.
Spanish and Mexican silver money is used here on a parity and is worth about 48 cents American money to a dollar Spanish. I think the money system here is an object lesson in free silver. Not a peep of gold can you get other than American gold.
Well the mail closes at noon. The steamer Valencia, a United States transport, leaves at 3:00 and I must close, with best regards I am yours.
CARROL PHENICIE.
BIOLOGICAL CLUE.
On last Tuesday Mr. McClung addressed the Biological club on "Weismanism." Weisman's theory of heredity, though now proved incorrect, is important because it gave a great impetus to the study of the transmission of parental characteristics. No rational theory was possible until a knowledge of the cell was gained.
The speaker briefly [reviewed the older theories on the subject]. He said that the oldest was *Darwin's* 'Pangeneis theory, which was' not based on observation. Among *the* ['the'] later biologists two general heries are held; the germinal localization of *His*, and the idiomics of *Naegeli*
The first is based on the preformation theory and supposes that the egg is divided
into certain portions, each of which contains elements representing characteristics of the parent. This theory was thought to be proved by Roux's experiment in procuring half an embryo after having killed one of the first two cells. Later, however, Roux obtained an entire embryo from a single cell, and so the theory was overthrown.
The second, or idioplasmic theory, supports that in the cell there is a substance which carries the inheritable qualities. This theory has been modified in several ways. It has been positively proved that the chromation of the cell plays an important part in the reproduction of characteristics.
The speaker then reviewed some of the recent experiments and their results. From these it is seen that the question of heredity has not yet been satisfactorily settled.
Mr. Beeck then compared the Permian rocks of Kansas with those of England. "The age of rocks," he said, "is partly determined by the character of the animals found in the fossils. The rocks of Kansas have no breaks, and their fossils give a continuous fossil record, while those of England have breaks, and so the record is not continuous. The important question is, are the rocks of Kansas or those of England the older?"
Mr. Beede is making a careful investigation of the subject, and his conclusions will be valuable.

The cast for the play in exceptionally strong, all the members seeming especially fitted for the parts they are to play. The ability of the actors, and their hard work on the play have been demonstrated to all who have been present at any of the rehearsals.
"The Masque" is a University organization, and deservedly recognized as such. In this line K. U, is the pioneer among the western colleges although Nebraska now talks of an organization similar to ours.
The University should turn out and show its appreciation of the club's work by giving "Othello" their hearty support.
It is not merely a matter of University spirit, for everyone will "get his money's worth." The Glee Club's Lawrence concert was always a great success, and most of us are as much interested in the drama as in music.
Let's all go to 'Othello' and see the valiant Othello, the wily days, and the fair Desdemora, as portrayed by University people.

ECONOMIC SEMINARY.
Brief mention was made of the conditions in France, and of the growth of trusts.
An article on the increase of gold production, in the February number of the Forum by the director of the mint, was reviewed by Mr. Featherkile in the seminar Monday afternoon. During the period of gold production prior to 1861, there was a large increase in the annual yield. From that time until 1890 there was a heavy decrease in production. During this period much was written on the probable limited supply of the metal and one writer concluded that about half of the amount existing in the world had already been obtained. But the discovery of a new process reducing the ore has put a new light on the subject and the annual yield has almost tripled since 1890. In that year the output was $160,000,000 and in 1898 it was $280,000,000.
Mr. Mccree read an interesting paper on the Swiss industrial and educational policy.
He told of their care in fostering industry, of the completeness of their statistics, and what was most interesting, of their educational policy. The Swiss government gives financial aid, limited to one-half of the annual expenses, to 206 schools and colleges.
At, the next meeting. Mr. Copeland will review current events in sociology and Miss Perdue will review an article in the XIX Century.
AMUSEMENTS.
The next attraction at the Bowersock Opera House Monday night will be Charles E. Blaney's latest production "A Hired Girl." Mr Blaney has written several farce comedy successes, and one comedy drama, but that is said to surpass anything he has yet attempted; he calls it a musical comedy, bordering closely upon comic opera. There is a plot of considerable interest but it does not inerfer with the introduction of specialties and amusing situations, usually brought by the efforts of the hired girl to run things to suit her way of thinking.
Herr Ver Blotz, a graduate of the Musical Conservatory of Berlin, secures the position of professor of music at Vassar. He was a little wild in his younger days, and among his chums at college was a young American, John Sanderson, the black sheep of his family. To him, Ver Blotz confides the fact that he had been secretly married to a young peasant girl he had blighted her life, and fearing exposure he was compelled to leave Germany. Before his second marriage he hears that his first wife is dead, but this is a false rumor started by his former companion, Sanderson. The latter, hearing of the professor's marriage, decides to turn it to his own account.
Sanderson comes to America and appears at the Professor's house as Lord Green Goods, an Englishman. He is recognized but he immediately tells the professor that the report of his first wife's death is false, and that he will reveal the secret unless he is aided in his scheme to capture a handsome young heiress who is a student at the college. The professor is thus forced to become a party to the scheme, to save himself from the charge of bigamy. Sanderson, however, is not sure that he will succeed and he makes love to the hired girl who, he has heard, is about to receive $100,000. He is about to marry her when the professor receives proofs from Germany confirming his first wife's death and that his second marriage is legal. Lord Green Goods is exposed and is promptly arrested for forgery, and, like the ending of all funny fences, sends everybody home vowing its the funnies of the season.

A PRICELESS TREASURE FOR THE COLLEGE MAN
ELMER E. JOHNSON, Principal Heffey School of Commerce, Pratt Institute, Brooklyn: "In examinations for admission to College, Technical Course, much of the requirements is a composition on some current event. I would recommend to students reading and studying the economics and statistics subjects, the subjects of economics and civics are so well and thoroughly treated that for those preparing for civil service examinations for position in government, they are a periodical is invaluable. Indeed it would be useful in all additional institutions."
