II, NO.6.CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, NOV. 9, 1893.THE CHICAGO NEWSPAPERS.A STUDY OF THEIR PURITY OF DICTION.IN making this study, we purchased daily, d�ring thepast week, five two-cent papers and five one-centpapers, a totalof ten papers each day. Five weremorning issues, The Daily Truer- Ocean, The ChicagoDaily Tribune, The Chicago Ruord, The Chicago Her­ald, and The Chicago Times; and five evening pa?ers,namely: The Chicago Dispatch, The Chicago DailyNews, The Chicago Mail, The Chicago Journal, andThe Chicago Euning Post.Inasmuch as we could not read every column ofall of these periodicals, we selected for study the firstpage, the editorial page, and the sporting page, whichwe believe fairly represents the typical varieties ofdiction used. We read- about 296 columns in thesethree parts of the papers, distributed as follows: 190columns on first pages, 70 columns on editorial pages,and 36 columns on sporting pages. We devotedmore attention to the first pages, as we believe thatthese indicate more nearly the prevailing tone of thepaper�., We have grouped our g-eneralization undersix heads.First. The vocabulary of the papers examined isvery large. Their standard is not': Good Use," but"novel effects," and to this end, the writers draw veryfreely from all sources, both good and bad.Second. The number of improprieties and bar­barisms was smaller than we had anticipated, theproportion of barbarisms being one in ten thousandwords, a total of 30, and the proportion of impro­prieties being one in each four hundred words, a totalof 720.Third. In most cases, these misuses are deliber­ate, and for the 'purpose of adding interest.Fourth. No good or bad quality of style is uni­form throughout anyone paper, each has parts writtenin fairly good style and other parts with many faults.Fifth. The large number of pcor constructionsfound in the headlines and abbreviated news items issomewhat to be excused by the fact that brevity is theruling principle rather than good taste.Sixth. The very faults are the' outcome of thedesire to be interesting, and show great imaginationin conception and much ingenuity in construction.The tone of the papers is displayed more by thenews matter than by. the editorials. Thus the lnter- Ocean and Tribune use very poor English in theirnews articles, while the editorials contain many newlycoined words and slang political phrases. In theHerald and Record, which have a reputation for Iiveli­ness and novelty in diction, the editorials are writtenin very good English, but the reporters eagerly seeknew words and phrases. The vocabularies are largeand show a studied effort in the use of new and unusualfoms. The papers appear to care rather for produc­ing an amusing or startling effect by unexpectedphraseology .than to write in good or even intelli­gible English. Slang is generally used knowingly,often being placed in quotation marks; and violencedone to "Good Use" is always done deliberately, andwith malice aforethought. A few instances of im­proprieties may be given: "Tariff smashers" forDemocrats, = Neckte bee" for a lynching, "Goldbug" for a mono-metalist, "Silver bug," for asilver man, "Smooth," "In clover," "Boodling,"" Diner" for dining car, "He sports a revolver,""Fire-eating speech," "A shady transaction,""The Exposition out of debt and velvet in sight,"that is financial success assured; and of new wordssuch as, "pop" for Populist, "Silveri ties," "AlleyL " for Elevated Railroad, "Sky-edge" for horizon,"practicalize," "fake," "hoodlum," "onto," "pan­icky," "sensationalized," " crankery."In the sporting pages, the slang vocabularly is veryrich, the technical phrases are burdened with a wealthof meaning, and its barbarism, too, undoubtedly arefull of picturesque connotation to the devotee of therace-track.The national base-ball clubs are all nicknamed:the Chicago's are the Colts, the New York Club, theGiants. "The Giants showed- up in brilliant form,"means they played well. "The Brooklyns were shutout," means that they were defeated. The foot-ballplayers are called the "pigskin kickers." Theexpression" They kicked a goose," means that theirscore was" zero." In the yacht race articles, we readthat while the" boats were bowling along under a fairwind" the Valkyrie" sagged away down to leeward,"and that" the wind hauled away." The racing fra­ternity are called "the Talent," and the more corn­mon phrases are as follows: "Gilt-edged lot," "Inthe sporting swim," "Race track hangers-on,"2 UNIVERSITY -OF CHICAGO WEEKLY."Among the rail birds:' (z". e. the men watching theraces from the fence); the reserved seats are called" the gold bug planks," -" a batch of bag-tails" (shorttailed horses), "horses of the skate order," meaningpoor horses, "the owners were very sweet on theircolt Ramapo," " the track was lightning fast," "a hottip was out ... a good thing, and was plunged on,"that is, bets were quickly made, "Annanias was thefirst to break and-after he had died in front, Varunashowed in the lead and he continued to pilot the wayuntil the last stride, where in a hot drive Pennilesswon by a neck," "Parker carried off first money andcame out on top," "There were some queer changesof form, Crawford was game to the core, and landedthe two succeeding heats in fast time," "the resultmade -the followers of form dizzy," "The talent hadhard work," /' i. e. lost money," "Jennie Miles was asaver to the' bookies, she winning handily at the oddsof. ten to one;" "Fantasy had the softest thing of theday," "it was a walk-over," "Divon had a close­call," "the 2:21 trot landed the money." A closerace was called "a stiff argumen t," or a " game race,"the last day of the race is " get away day.-;'But many of these expressions were utterly unintel­ligible, without reference to the Slang Dictionary,which from this week's study, we concluded wouldneed a daily supplement. Such are" brace game."".tarriers," "hanky panky," "razzle dazzle," "flap­doodle," "fiim flam," "pow wow," and "scotchingit."Others are more readily understood because morefrequently occurring in the fertile vocabulary of "BadUse," as for exam ple: " Sky-edge" for horizon," sluggers," "mill," used for prize fight, "fire bugs,"" silver bugs .» "Bel shazzar-esque," "shyster."Slang phrases are as common as improprieties inthe use of words, such as, "the man is quite sappy,"" come off the perch," " out of sight," "runnmg themin," "persuades voters to plump for him," "doingitself proud," "done in pink and green," "even thewater felt the push," "hocus pocus, hanky panky,here you are, you' r� an anarchist! you pays yourmoney and you takes you choice, and the merry littleRepublican wheel goes round again," "Tom hasrolled as high, spent as much, and broken as manyhearts as the most effulgent light in the fast and swag­gerest town." For sake of variety, one paper says_ " He's using his hat for a telephone." The city isspoken of �s being" purged of the thugs, and whiskeysoaks and drunken loafers with pulls," and again thepaper gravely announces that on Chicago Day, "thecity would everlastingly hump .itself, and show theworld what it could do if it tried."These are average specimens of the barbarism andimproprieties found in a week's study of the dailypress of Chicago. We concluded that, while therhetorical ability in many cases is brilliant, and fullof spirit, yet much interest is purchased at the expense of conformity to good usage. The newspapers aredemocratic and cater to all classes,-to the higherclasses by pure English wrought with splendid rhetor­ical skill, and to the lower classes by grotesque col­loquialisms and picturesque slang. If the law ofadapt at ion has any authority, there is much excuse tobe found for the prevailing faults of the diction ofChicago newspapers. H. D. H.A. E. M.ExchangesThe editor of the Ann Arbor Daily, after readingthe WEEKLY in which the account of the Michigan­Chicago game was published, sharpened up his wits,and sat down to lay us out cold. Here is the resultof four hours of painstaking effort:In the head lines of an article entitled "Glorious Victory,"we discover the following words: "Michigan Mauled. by Chi­cago Men of Muscle in a Great Game of Foot-ball. Brains AgainstBrains. ,. All of which proves that a victory, which was won bysmall odds, completely turned the heads of the editors of theWEEKLY, who probably voice the sentiments of all the students ofthe Chicago University. We admit that our foot-ball team isnot the most formidable in the land, and we can say the same ofChicago's team. To the WEEKLY we can only say that that is abrave man who knows better how to control himself in victorythan in defeat.Were it not that the Michigan eleven and its fol­lowers came to Chicago with a great" flare of trurn­phets," and a sublime _ certainty of victory, ourelation might appear out of place. The note in theDaily of October z r st, announced that "The teamleft for Chicago last night prepared to show the - Chi- "cago University team how the game is played." Wehave not heard how our team profited by their lessen.It was a case of the student knowing more than theteacher. We prefer to appear unduly elated and toshow our gratification in glowing phrases, big head­lines, etc., than to "blow" quite so loud as the Dailydoes, and then seek to cover up its disconcertinent bypublishing such scathing (?) sarcastic (?) editorials.Purdue defeated the University of Chicago in aclosely contested game at Lafayette last week, thescore being 20 to 10.

However,the eleven went on the field badly crippled. It is acurious thing that no games in which Raycroft hasplayed have been lost, while none from which he wagabsent have been won. Here's a bunch of roses to apink that this rule will keep true the rest of the season.Herring, as quarter did not playa bad g amc.. Blissought not to have gone on the field, for the ankle hethought healed,at once played him false. Knapp hadbeen sick all week, though he did not sho� :my lackof his ordinary form. But Raycroft, Sykes and Flintdid not play, and sprinting was out of the questionfor Bliss. It may be said there ought to have beenas good men to put on, but there were not, and with­out any false search, the cause of defeat was tooapparent in a badly recrui ted team.Oberlin won the toss, and at 3 :30 faced the northgoal. The team lined up as follows:CHICAGOS, OBERLINS,Lamay , Left end '. . . . .. StewartC, Wyant.: , Left tackle FauverSmith . Left guard SpindlerA. Wyant Center. 'McMurreyAIlen , Rightguard , ,.WhiteKnapp Right tackle ' .. FitchGale Right end MerriamHerring Quarter MottMcGillivray t .

Bucking the center withgreat assiduity brought it up to within five yards ofthe enemy's goal line. Chicago got it away ondowns. The ball was lost on downs when Lamayshot out to the right and was splendidly tackled withno gain by Boothman. Neel kicked, Fauver makinga pie out of the intended punt. Oberlin owned theball and Boothman made a fine run around right endfor a touchdown, Regal kicking goal. The firstscore was 6 to 6 for the yellow and red.Chicago lost the ball on downs, a score of yardsfrom the goal. Boothman then made a magnificentrun for thirty-five yards around right end, being tackledby Neel. Then Lee made a touchdown run of twentyyards. Regal again kicked the goal and the scorewas I2 to o. When Chicago tried a swift wedgeFitch singled out the man with the ball and tackledhim in his tracks. There were small gains and goodstops. Bliss' serpentine diving gained little, butKnapp did better. Ground was' made slowly untilthe ball was five yards from the goal. McGillivrayaround right end made exactly that gain and plantedthe ball on the line and Gale kicked a beautiful goal.The score was then I2 to 6. When the Oberlin' wedge gained five yards aftermeeting Chicago line the ball was fumbled. Neelpunted for twenty-five yards, but the gain was undoneby Lee's famous run for thirty yards. Fauvor, Boothmanand White carried the ball right up to the goal and Leehurried it across in a wedge. Regal fa.iled on thegoal, so the score was I6 to 6. A wedge registeredgood gains for Chicago, but Lee made two runsaround left for thirty yards when the ball becameOberlin's on downs, and Regal kicked goal from thefield fifteen yards from the line. This increased thescore to 21 to 6. Nichols and Rapp, in the secondhalf, took the places of Bliss and McGillivray. Neelpunted but poorly, bucking carried the ball up thefield, Rapp made a gain of ten yards. Nichols andKnapp added a few yards more and an offside slicewas given. Amid great clamor Allen made a touch­down and Gale kicked goal. This made thescore 2I.to I2. Lee made a ru n- of forty yards, and Boothmancarried the ball over the north line, while Re;al sentit over the goal. The score was then 27 to I2. Rappmade a pair of good gains and fum bled the ball. Leewas injured and Shields went in. Almost at once hemade a run of twenty yards. There were steady shortgains for Oberlin, with good tackles by Herring, Allenand Gale. Chicago got the ball on downs but lost itafter a fine gain by Nichols on Rapp's fumble. Bybucking the center, brought the ball to the goal lineand Regal went across for a touchdown. He addeda goal kick and the score stood 33 to I2. Thoughgains by Knapp and Rapp sent the ball far towardthe north goal, Nichols fumbied and Oberlin had theball.Sunday Notices.Hyde Park Methodist Episcopal Church, Washington avenueand Ffty-fourth street, Wilbur F.

Thus farthis year no appointments have been made, and it isnecessary that there be a full board before the begin­ning of the winter quarter. The new members willbe selected on a basis of competition. All com­petitors are required to submit contributions, of anyreadable nature, either poems, stories, essays, editor­ials or sketches, the latter to be published under thetitle Etchings. The n;atter offered must show orig­inality or journalistic ability. The managing editorwill keep an accurate account of all matter thus pub­lished, witholding the author's name, and publishingthe articles under a nom de plume, to be selected by thecontributor. At the meeting of the board Nov. loth,the published articles will be read and voted upon bythe board. Those articles receiving the highest num­ber of votes will be set aside, and the author's namesmade known to the board by the managing editor.In this way it is believed that an impartial decisionmay be arrived at, and that the best talent of Ninety­seven will compete. We can not too strongly impressupon the entering class, the great benefit to be derivedfrom the practice of writing for publication. Thusfar we have had few if any contributions from the newmen. We neither can nor will believe that the poorcompetition thus far displayed is a true exponent ofwhat Ninety-seven can do. Show us by your futurework that the literary spirit of '97 is as strong if notstronger than that of the other classes. IT IS to be deplored that we are not represented inany college athletic league. With such a foot-ballteam as we now have, we could make.a good showingin an association. Some steps should be taken by theathletic management toward getting into a league.* * *2.00 SA TURDA Y'S defeat was overwhelming, but itwas not unlooked for. Our team is at the pre­sent time badly crippled, injuries preventing many ofour best men from playing. This is but a lameexcuse, and the WEEKLY does not wish to offer it asa reason for the defeat. The fact is, bur team isbadly managed. Snap, life, energy, ail are foreignto the playing of the men. Listlessness characterizestheir every move. In. the Oberlin game the slowuncertain play of Chicago was in striking contrastwith the quick dashing work of the visitors. Again,in the matter of substitutes we are poorly off. Itseems that a man who has practiced but failed tomake the eleven, feels that -he is of no further use.He takes no interest whatever in the game, neverthinking that some day his services may be required.What we need is practice, hard earnest, energeticpractice in 'tackling, goal kicking and bucking theline. We have many hard games yet to play thisseason. The material for a strong eleven is here.Let us develop and make use of it before it is toolate.* * *WOMAN'S pOSItIOn III college journalism hasbeen a most strongly agitated question atmany of our sister co-ed�cational institutions.Wherever woman has been given the same rep­resentation on college papers as men, she has shownan ability quite as great as that of her masculine fel­low editors. Here in Chicago the question has nevercome up. From the very beginning of the Universitywoman has been put on an equality with man. Onthe college journals she has had representation andher work has been satisfactory in every way. Everycollege paper which gives representation on its edi­torial board to any particular department or schoolmay reasonably expect a subscription list commensur­ate with that representation. The WEEKLY has fromthe first allowed the women a large space to fill. Wehave no reason to complain of the way in which theyhave responded to our appeals for matter. Theyhave shown a willingness to aid us that is indeedcommendable. Save in the matter of subscriptionswe have no fault to find. vVe feel that we are entitledto a larger patronage from the young ladies of the U ni­versity. At present not more than half a dozencopies are sent to the women's dormitories. This isnot as it should be. We have always published fullaccounts of all their happenings, social and other­WIse. We shall continue to do this, but in return weshall expect a very material increase in our subscrip­tion patronage./\ UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO WEEKLY.ETCHINGS.H HOW lonely and melancholy Midway looks thesesad November days. A ghastly silence hoversrOU1�d where for nearly ten months the busy hum ofworkmen and the noisy tread of visi tors has filled theair. The cold autumnal wind whistles shrilly as it rushesdown the broad avenue, picking up paper, sticks anddirt on its way. With it comes misery and woe forthe shivering half-clothed Oriental in his tent.It is night. The darkness and the gloom has hidfrom sight the fantastic forms of the Midway'S cur­ious inhabitants. The great arc lights on the avenue,outside the gates, flicker sadly, as if they to remem­ber the �ay scenes of a few short weeks ago. Theroar of a cable train echoes dismally through thesilent night. I walk alone down the broad street.No sound of enkling cymbals or shout of eagerforeign­er awakes me from my reverie. I am alone., , I feel like one,Who treads aloneSome banquet hall deserted;Whose lights are fled,Whose garlands deadAnd all but he departed."All the noise and clamor and din are gone. Thecrowds no longer throng around the dancers and thefreaks. Silence reigns supreme. How often have Ilonged for this when the unceasing noise made mehalf m ad. Then the clatter and din rendered mydays horrible and my nights sleepless. But now,that all is gone, that the Midway is closed and thenoise is hushed, I am lonely and oppressed. Trulywe always long for that which we have not. M.**. *Inexpressible sad it is, as dreaming I stand uponthe lofty arcade and gaze in mournful contemplationdown that sublime Court of Honor, to realize that thecity of palaces we have seen rise into glorious majestyhom the low-lying level of the lake, is to melt awaylike a dream of some vision of courts eternal. Thecosmopolitan metropolis, where Portland, Oregon,joined Portland, New Hampshire, where Javanesemet Japanese, where Hindu knew Hottentot, andAlgerian and Arab and Turk mingled with Esqumau,and Chinaman arid Indian, has dissolved into -its ele­ments like a chemical compounded too complex andunstable for nature to hold together. The hazymoonlight falls in a tender yet pitying radiance overthe city's cold, grey, stately, walls and she standslike some Pompeii of old,grief burdened with the lossof her thousands, deserted and lonely, a being of payno more. Old Father Time, who never stops to whetthat sythe of fate, must raze her battalments as hemows down all mortal things; few are the relics thatmay remain to mark where her towering pinnacleascended to fame eternal, or to tell the low grasses or• flowers that shall spring up in their stead that theystand on ground where millions stood to applaud hersplendors. But no, she is not dead-the new Athenre ;her walls may crumble, her. columnal halls may fall tobe rebuilt no more, her thousands be scattered likeflocks of birds before the winter's icy blasts, butwherever her people shall go, there her spirit stillshall live, there men shall tell of her glory and singher praises, there shall be sown new seeds of culture,and energy and love for all mankind.** *An amusing incident occured last week Tuesdayon the Midway. The gates had not yet been closedto visitors, but the Plaisance attractions were notallowed to show. The Ferris wheelunanagernentclaimed drat their concession allowed them to rununtil Jan. I st, and the wheel was in full workingorder. The exposition denied this, and had stationeda detail of guards entirely around the wheel. Theguards resisted all attempts on the part of the crowdto break through their lines. The wheel employeeswere yelling like mad men urging the throng to ride.If one could get through the line he could safely takea ride upon payment of fifty cents. Occasionally adaring individual or a group would break through andthen laugh at the discomfiture of the guards. 'Theflying wedge could have been used to perfection.It was another instance of people braving anythingfor pleasure.** *I feel like the man who put his all into a world'sfair hotel last May and was sold out by the sheriff inJuly, just as the crowd began to fill up every hostelryon the south side. The reason .is this. My professorin a certain class announced yesterday that the fresh­men in. the class were not doing sufficient work andstrongly advised them to put all thought of footballto flight and "buckle down." He did not .use the.terrn "buckle down," but I use it; for did I not heara reverend senior say, "The 'prof.' soaked the poorfreshies to-day. Told them to get at themselves andbuckle down to work." I am only a freshman and I"buckled down" last night. I stayed up .till the gasquit burning and then stayed up till my tallow dip,burned out. Not until I had absorbed the contentsof eighty-six pages of "poli-con" and all kinds of"trig" did I lay me down to rest.I arose just in time to dress, miss breakfast andmake my 8:30 class, fifteen minutes late, A fellowfreshman was reciting when I entered. He was doingwell and I listened with interest. My interest was sogreat that I fell asleep-at least my neighbor in thenext seat tells me I fell asleep. 1 am not in the habit6 UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO WEEKLY.of snoring, for I find that I must deny myself manyluxuries in order that I may get through my collegecourse. I consider snoring a luxury. I did not meanto indulge myself to-day, yet the evidence seems toconclusively prove that I did. All that I rememberis a violent punch in the ribs and hearing my namecalled loudly. Too loudly indeed for my peace ofmind. I jumped up and sat down, a trifle discon­certed, but that is all. I listened to the speech which issued from the professor's lips, and I wondered.

By the way,he is a staunch and never faltering Alumnus, and isthe representative of the Collegiate Alumni Associa­tion on the general committee of the AssociatedAlumni. We note this because the Annual Registererroneously prints his name John B. Clark.Other changes among the Collegiate Alumni maybe noted: Mr. C. C. Smith '70, is at Mason City,Iowa; Andrew L.

Where are you, andwhat are you doing?The Alumni Scribbler is g ladto note the growinginterest in Athletics and commends the energy ofthe WEEKLY in continually setting before its readers the need of a college spirit manifesting itself in anenthusiastic personal interest in sound and healthyathletic sports. Let the Alumni attend the foot-ballcontests in the University Campus, wear the Uni­versity colors, and join in the college yell-and soaid in inspiring the efforts of Professor Stagg and hisable assistants to excell in this, as well as other depart­ments of coliege work.To the Alumni of the Uniuersity:I desire to impress upon you individually and as abody, the need of subscribing for and reading theUniversity of Chicago WEEKLY. It goes without say­ing that a good, brainy, wide-awake college paper isan absolute necessity in arousing and maintaining atrue college spirit, and I name the WEEKLY becauseit is, 'at the present time, the only paper edited, pub­lished and controlled by the students of the U niver­si ty. I have no financial interest whatever in thepaper, and am only interested in its success as amember of one of the bodies, the combination of whichforms the gre-at University of Chicago.We who graduated from the walls of the old Uni­versity building from r86r to r886 as well as thosewho graduated from the new in r8g3 have a feeling offilial pride and joy in the growing splendor of ourAlma Mater. Such a feeling is right. We shouldfoster it by a constant interest in University affairs.Visit the halls and grounds; attend the convocationsand receptions; lend the enthusiasm of your presenceto the athletic grounds when a game of foot-ball orbase-ball is the attraction; make an effort to attendAlumni re-unions and University dinners; but do notforget to subscribe for and read the college paper, asby that means, and that only.can the body of Alumniwho are beyond its walls keep in touch with the dailyprogress of University affairs.The WEEKLY desires to aid in advancing theinterests of the .Alumni. It has generously offered itscolumns for our use, will gladly publish communicationsfrom the Alumni, either personal, suggestive or criti­cal, at any time. It offers its columns to the secretaryof the association for the publishing of notices affect­ing the Alumni body, and asks only in return theUNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO WEEKLY.support of the Alumni in swelling its subscription list.I shall use it for publishing notices and making what­ever communications may be of interest to the asso­ciation, thus making it to a certain extent the 'officialorgan of the Collegiate Alumni Association, and asone of the body of editors, will try and keep it sup­plied with Alumni matter. 7Will you not assist in the effort to interest theAlumni Body? Assist the publishers by a subscription(terms are published), and the editors by communi­cating matters of interest?Yours fraternally,E. A. BUZZELL '86,Secretary Alumni Association Collegiate Dept.LIFE IN THE QUADRANGLES.A WEEK ago members of the women's housesthought they knew what quadrangle life meant.A month's experience within the sacred precinctshad had its effect. Life in all its phases and itshighest possibilities 'lay opened before them. Theirphysical, intellectual an d moral consciousness hadbeen quickened a thousand ways.The triumphs and failures of the gym. and the mus­cular misery that followed had taught them the gloryof a sound body. Four weeks at a scientific tablehad impressed them with the spirit of that too oftforgotten motto, "We eat to live," for at the end ofthat time instead of wondering with a sigh why itcouldn't be pie just once, they would discuss intell i­gently the amount and proportion of the food ele­ments, 'little caring whether the starches came inpastries or potatoes., The simply furnished parlors and subdued corr i-dors put one in mind of Milton's lines:"But let my due feet never failTo walk the studious cloister pale,And love the high ernbowed roofWith antique pillars mossy proof."The midnight candle was often seen to flickerunder the em bowed roof, and a more scholarlyatmosphere than in the women's quadrangle has notbeen known since the age of Pericles.Philanthropic visions danced before the eyes ofthe young as they began to realize the overwhelm­ing obligation of the educated mind to its limitedsisters.All this was very well, but it was not quadranglelife. Last Tuesday night those who did not knowfound out; for it was H allowe"en and the studentsmade merry. Each hall had its own celebration.Foster felt the contagion of the Midway and besidesentertaining all the Salem witches and the ninemuses it had a Dahomey warrior and a gyratingFerris wheel.Beecher hall paid Foster a visit and stayed as longas it was possible to endure Dahomey's war-dance.The form that Kelley'S festi vities took was deter­mined by a fresh piano and a hard wood floor. Thedancing, however, did not prevent the occurrence of astartling incident which would have made any but thehair of youth turn gray, for at the hour when church­yards yawn, two ghosts addressed two maidens who, peering from the windows, were bent on finding outthe secrets of the night. Let us turn to Beecher.Uninfluenced either by the Midway or the pres­ence of a piano Beecher hall could carry out the trueacademic spirit. This she did with great success,contributing in the first number of the program thefirst song to the "Carmina Universitatis Chicagonis."The sing ing was accompanied by a charming mando­lin orchestra which later in the evening astonishedthe house with its rare harmonies. In the encorethe singers sang the health of everything connectedwith the University from Rockfeller's millions totheir own sylph-like selves, thus giving happy andunexpected expression to the feeling of the audience.The charades which followed opened a new era indramatics. ' In detail they were wonderful, in effectsublime. A most impressive scene was that in whicha dignified fellow appeared as a camel, kneeling andrising in triple-jointed fashion a la Cairo. The funof the evening was not lessened by the frequentappearance of the gingham aprons who came frointhe kitchen to report that "the candy wasn't qui tedone." Fellow beamed on freshman and freshmansmiled for joy G ames went on in quick successionand the evening ended with an old-fashioned candypull.As the gathering broke up the young womenrepeated with new meaning the rousing refrain, "Vi vela Beecher Hall !"The disposition of the Standard Oil exhibit, whichcost $50,000, is indicated in the following letter:DR. \VILLIAM R.

Mr. Hulsarte lost his. vestand a valuab1e gold watch and chain, and Mr.Breeden $45 worth of clothing.

Chamberlin and Penrose and several fellowshave been for som� weeks past engaged in cataloguingand arranging exhibits in the Mines and Miningbuilding, World's Fair. It is now the deepest hopeof everyone connected with the University that theColumbian Museum may be located near the Univer­sity. At present the location of the great museumhas not been decided upon, yet it is the belief ofmany that Jackson Park will be selected. Shouldthat be done it would prove of immense benefit to ourUniversity. Situated as we are, only a few blocksfrom the park, the Columbian Museum would beavailable on every occasion. It would be of but littleless value than if it were located on the campus.Members' and 'friends of the University were giventheir first opportunity last Monday to share in thepleasant social life of the Women's Quadrangles.Beecher Hall is fortunate in being the earliest toextend such hospitaIity with this first of the monthlyafternoon receptions to be given during the. winter,founding from the opening of our modest "season,"the influence of the Women's Halls is to be stronglyand pleasantly felt among the more dignified structuresabout the Quadrangles. The tasteful and homelikeair of the new parlors, with the fresh toilets and brightfaces of their inmates, made a strong counter attract-don to the libraries and seminars across the cam pus;and staid and learned members or the Facultyseemed glad to close their laborious day with an hourof informal chat at Beecher.

Well,they have a variety show, three performances daily,each of them a play in three acts, closing with thelaughable farce entitled" The Desert." Season tick­ets are four dollars; no free list; programs are handedto each visitor. The characters are "Consomme,"who is shadowed by the Silver Knight Leffel," Entree,". with his attendant Prince Polato, and the" Giant Homo" and his two Knights, Messer andGabel. The bell rings, there is a scramble for seats,and the performance begins. Act 1. �ntroduces 9Consomme, the sister of Entree. She floats uponthe scene in a China boat, bearing the inscription" E Pluribus Unum." She is espied and captured bythe Silver Knight Leffel, who delivers her up to theGiant. Act II. opens with Entree coming up to thescene with his Irish attendant, a little fat fellow in abrown coat, smoking and with wide open eyes. TheGiant immediately attacks them' with his two war­riors, Messer and Gable, one a swordsman, the othera spearman, carrying four spears. In the melee, . thecoat of the little fat Irishman is torn off, and heis crushed to pieces by the two warriors. Meanwhilethey make sallies upon poor Entree. The crushedremains of the little fat attendant, after being sea­soned with salt, pepper and butter, are delivered tothe Giant by the Silver Knight Leffel, and they arequickly devoured. Entree suffers the same fate, andthe Giant complacently orders all his attendants awayexcept the Silver Knight Leffel, who assists him inenacting the very pantomine of "The Desert," whichconcludes the performance.The audience is notified that no encores of any ofthe performers will be allowed. -The reception given by the young ladies ofBeecher Hall last Monday, was in every way adelightful affair.

Our flues have been out oforder, and" Johnnie" and" Mike" have been put­ting them to rights. Mike pulls up the rug, piles thechairs before the doorway: makes an animated mopof himself, and screams up the chimney in all butdulcet tones. "Er Johnnie, yer up there?" I supposeJohnnie answers in the affirmative, for Mike says in asweetly inflected yell" Let er go," and she goes, fordown comes a pile of mortar, brick, etc., filling theroom with a suffocating dust. Then "Johnnie's"voice: = Er Mike, how's that?" Poor Mike! out ofthe dim uncertainty of dust, somewhere a feeble voiceresponded, "come down 'ere." Then Mike goes upand Johnnie comes down, and that's the way the worldgoes round at Kelley. Morgan Park Notes.To the close observer it was very evident, fromthe number of black eyes and scarred vissages thatappeared at the Academy Common's breakfast tableon Sunday morning, that the Academy foot ball teamhad an adversary in a match game on the day before.This game took place on the Morgan Park Academygrounds, at 2 :30, Saturday, between the Lake ForestAcademy team and the Morgan Park Academy team.The Lake Forest boys arrived. in the Park about 1:30,fully confident that success awaited them, their con­fidence in a degree justified by an unbroken series ofsuccess. The game was called at 2:30, Prof. Caldwellas umpire and as referee. It was agreed to play halfhour halves, and at the end of the first half the gamestood 8 to 8. At the beginning of the next halfeach of the teams played hard and put into use alltheir skill. Near the end of the second half the scorestood 12 to 12, but Detrich, of Morgan Park Acad­emy kicked a goal. The score was now 12 to 14.It was thought that owing to the heavier weightof the Lake Forest boys that the M. P. A. team wouldmeet with inevitable defeat, but the game proved tobe a contest between quantity of the Lake Forest andquality of M. P. A. Credit is due Mr. Caldwell for hiscool and judicious manner and just and firm decision .Reed's and Dickey'S tackling, Bell's running withthe ball, Johnson's center rushing were special feat­ures of the game.
