The summer junketingclass of Princeton is left out of consideration, as themembers take the course for the purpose of an outingrather than for work. Harvard this year sent a partyof seven, and they remained out six weeks. TheUniversity of Chicago class consisted of twelve mem­bers, and, besides being the largest class, was the firstone to which women were admitted. A six weeks'course of general lectures, two hours a day, precededthe field work.The Illinois River Valley, between the DrainageCanal and the great elbow was the site selected by theclass in preference to the Dalles of Wisconsin. Thisregion affords a most excellent opportunity for thestudy of geological phenomena. Here, within a fewmiles, are found exposures of lower m.agnesian lime­stone, the oldest rock anywhere exposed in the state;St. Peter sandstone; Trenton limestone; the greatcoal measures, and Niagara limestone, with a smalloutcrop - of Cincinnati shales. This series of rockscannot be duplicated within such short distancesanywhere within hundreds of miles. It gives thestudent of historical geology a chance to study therocks of three great ages and to note their character­istics and fossils. These, when once noted by actualobservation, are seldom forgotten. Besides the fineexposure of so mans different formations, an opportu­nity to study the work of erosion on a miniature grand -scale was also offered. Canons, winding ravines,standing columns of rock, and outjutting prominenceswere to be found in large number. The basin of anextinct glacial lake, two terminal moraines, and alarge area of drift completed the attractions whichdrew the class in that direction.It was 8:40 A. M., Monday, Aug. 12, when the partyassembled-in the Rock Island Depot. The memberswere: Professor T. C. Chamberlin, conductor of theclass; Mrs. Chamberlin, chaperon; Rollin Chamber­lin, mascot and official photographer; the Misses ZoniaBaber, Jennie E. Curtis, Emma Willard, LouellaChapin, Vinnie M. Crandall; Messrs. J. H. Smith,J. P. Goode, T. O. Mabry, D. P. Nicholson, R. H.Hobart, C. F. Tolman, L. Sass. After the formalityof introductions had been gone through, for althoughthe majority of the members had attended the samelectures for six weeks they were not expected to beacquainted, the students settled back in the seats ofthe car, note-books were gotten out and preparationsmade to commence observations as soon as the smokeand bustle of Chicago were left behind.After a tedious and yet interesting ride of threehours we arrived at Utica. After a wait of half anhour a bus appeared and we all bundled in. Twentyminutes after entering the bus we pulled up before apleasant appearing hotel, which we found was to beour headquarters for a week ,or more. Rooms wereassigned and we all cleaned up in a hurry, but wereinformed that we would have to wait half an hour for524 UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO WEEKLY.our dinner. One may be certain that, tired and hun­gry as we often were after a long day's tramp, nomeal even under such conditions, tasted quite as goodas our first one. After our dinner, Professor Cham­berlin then proposed that we go out and reconnoitre.It is related by a member of last year's class, thaton their first day, Professor Salisbury took them up asteep hill to get a general idea of the country. Climb­ing was hard upon those not accustomed to it, so theprofessor contented himself with stopping half way upthe hil1. After pointing out the interesting things, heproposed to return. "Oh, let's go to the top," sug­gested one of the class who wished to appear zealous,and who never thought his suggestion would beaccepted. Immediately Professor Salisbury turnedaround and commenced ascending the hill.while theother students silently vowed vengeance upon theproposer. Warned by that story no one suggestedto Professor Chamberlin that we go farther than heSTARVED ROCK.thought wise. Our first work was a delightful scram­ble up Starved Rock, 120 feet in height, some of themore adventurous ones scaled the steep faces of thecliff, drawing themselves up by the trees and roots,while the others preferred to take the path constructedby human agencies.Starved Rock is famous in Illinois history. It is in­teresting because of its striking appearance, risingabruptly as it does from the surrounding valley. Butdoubly more interesting than its picturesqueness arethe legends that are told concerning it. Marquette,La Salle, and Joliet, in exploring the river were im­pressed by its prominence, and each made it his camp­ing ground. La Salle built a fort there, and for a longtime the French flag hung over the rock. But themost interesting legend is that of the last stand of theHlini Indians. The Illini, a once powerful tribe, en­gaged in bloody war with the Pottawatomies. Pon­tiac, one of the great chiefs of the latter, had beenmurdered by an I1lini, and hispeople had sworn never.to rest until their hated enemies were annihilated.According to the story, the Lllini were compelled to retreat down the valley before their powerful foes, andwere steadily reduced in numbers. As a last standthey mounted Starved Rock determined to defend itwith their lives. But the Pottawatomies surroundedthe rock and, cutting off all sources of food and watersupply, starved them to death. When but few re­mained they charged the rock, and tomahawked andscalped all the living and the dead. Whence thename of the rock.. After a brief study into the formations of the rock,the party descended into French Canon, following itto its head. Here the work of erosion was shownbeautifully, the faces of the canon being in placessixty feet sheer. In dry weather there are no streamsbut after a rain-storm the whole place is covered withrunning waters and sparkling cascades.At this place the ladies of the party remained torest, an� the men started to reconnoitre farther back.Two good hours of steady walking brought us backto the hote1. Preparations were immediately madefor a trip to Deer Park Canon the next morning. Thisis the largest and most famous of all the canons in thevicin ity, but from a geological point of view has nounique features. The following day the party wasdivided. The' men worked west from the rock, thewomen east. From that moment field work in ear­nest began. For a long time there was not much vari­ation in the daily routine nor were there any excitingincidents. Once we ascended our first ravine andwere stopped by an almost sheer wall sixty feet ormore in height. Not anxious to retrace our steps,one of the boys essayed to climb the face by digginghis toes into crevices and hanging on to roots. After'a good deal of maneuvering he reached the top.Then another attempted the feat. Ascending inchby inch, he would stop for minutes trying to findanother stepping place. When within ten feet of thetop we below heard a most pitiful and mournful cryfrom above, "Say, Hobart, which way shall I turn ?"Our companion finally reached the top in safety.As the noon hour approached we generally turned,our footsteps toward some neighboring farmhouse forthe purpose of obtaining food. Milk was our favoritebeverage and it used to be the boast of one of ourparty that he could drink three quarts. Be as itmay, we always had nearly two quarts portioned outto every man. After a while' the farmers began toknow us and in no case did they have cause to besorry of the acquaintance. Wherever we stoppedwewere treated with the utmost hospitality and kindnessand we did our best to reciprocate. The good recordmade by the field class of' 94 in Wisconsin was main­tained and the reputation of University of Chicagostudents in the Illinois valley is way above par.When we had roads or upland to work, pleasantindeed' was the day's jaunt, but where our courseUNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO WEEKLY.took us through ravines, thick underbrush, hempbrakes ten feet high and corn-fields we mutteredunder our breath.'But the ladies of the class must not be forgotten.Their first day's experience was a hard one. Theystarted at 8 0' clock in the morning, working east from,. the hotel. Unfortunately none of the party had hadany experience in roughing it, and they went withoutfinding any water until four o'clock. It was a hotday, and the ham sandwiches for lunch did not atall quench their thirst. Professor' Chamberlin thatevening instructed them where to look for springs, andshowed them how they could make a cup from theleaves; so in succeeding days they fared better.The girls were anxious to be considered as goodwalkers as the men. One day two of them started tokeep up with some of. the man. It was a stretch oftwo miles along the railroad track, and the men folkswalked a trifle faster than usual. For a part of theway the ladies kept up quite well, then the pace com­menced to tell upon them, and they lost ground. Thisthey made up by running. Thus it went on for a mileand a half, the girls finishing with the men, but notanxious to try it again.Such were some of the pleasant experiences of ourclass. 'But, as the announcements indicated, thecourse was not to be taken as an outing. The hoursfor work were from about eight o'clock till six, andthe methods pursued were similar to those of theUnited States Geological survey. The outcrop ofeach formation was studied; its location, height, ex­tent and direction of the trend noted, and observa­tions made upon the general characteristics as toconstituents, texture, bedding, lamination. Its fis­sures and colors were marked, the method of erosionand topography carefully studied, and the generalimpression which the scenery made put down in ourbooks. After our observations had been made wewould compare them with the report of the IllinoisState survey to see if the latter were correct. So accu­rately were our observations made, and facts noted,that we were perfectly safe in doing this. Two dayswe spent in mapping the formations and generaltopographic features. These maps we�e found to bemuch more accurate than the topographic, maps pub­lished by the United States survey.So interesting did the region around Starved Rock,prove to be that we remained there twelve days, oralmost twice as long as we intended. Two days atOttawa, one of them given to Professqr Holmes forsketching, is as long ag we remained in the countryseat of LaSalle. The day set apart for ProfessorHolmes were hailed with gladness by all the .membersof the class,From Ottawa our party went to Marseilles, andthere the rain which had bothered up for the first 5�5time at Dttawa, kept us working within walking dis­tance of the hotel all that Monday. Tuesday wasgiven to the Marseilles moraine, which meant a walkof twelve miles with the mercury hovering just over100°. None were sorry when that 'evening came andthe hotel was reached.Wednesday afternoon we went to Morris, and vis­ited the famous fern grounds of Mazon Creek. Sat­urday morning was spent in boxing the fossils whichwe collected in the two days of hard digging aboutthe Mazon. The last week was spent in Joliet, andwas devoid of much that was interesting exceptin a geological line. The last week out some of themembers broke the good record of promptness by con­tinually missing trains. On Saturday we made ar­rangements to go by a freight train to Barrington, andto come in to Chicago over the Northwestern railroad.The freight left at 6:50 A. M., but by taking an 8:I5passenger we succeeded in catching it fifteen milesout. Then commenced one of the slowest rides onrecord. The first two hours we succeeded in coveringtwelves miles, but to get over the next three miles,required three hours. Unable to stand such traveling,Professor Chamberlin induced the conductor to trans­fer us to an extra freight which left Joliet five hoursafter we did. The party arrived at Chicago the samenight, thus ending the expedition of the Field classof '95. .LOUIS SASS.The Summer Student.Oh, who is this in spectacles, yet lovely for all that ?It is the summer studentess, her note-book in her hand,And who is this pervades the place, in solemn coat add hat?It is the summer student, come to occupy the land.You will find him in the boarding clubs, 'tis there be's most athome,You will find him in the class-room with a fixed and stonystare,You will find him" taking exercise," if to the gym you roam,But go not to the football field-you will not find him there.He rebukes the good instructors, if he thinks they aren't right,With a freedom and directness that fills you with dismay,He rattles off his languages, takes science at a bite,Thinks logic is a pudding-s-but at baseball doesn't play.He takes us as an episode, thinks us extremely young,Yet studies us with interest, as part of human kind,But when the autumn comes again and summer's song is sung,He leaves us, quite complacent, and to teaching turns hismind.But with all his faults we like him and we hope he'll comeagain;He makes a splendid sedative, to calm the pulse of Iife,So here's to him next summer! may he multiply by ten,And if it's quite convenient, may he bring along his wife!J.

These changes, which willbe announced October I, will consist of the retirementof several of those whose faithful efforts have been sowell appreciated, and the addition ofthe names of otherrepresentative students, hitherto unknown to journal­istic fame in the University.The outlook for the fall quarter is very bright.Several interesting special numbers are already inpreparation, the first of which will be a convocationnumber, containing in full Professor Bruce's addresson "The Future of Christianity," with a fine photo­graph of this popular scholar. Next will come a fullyillustrated Divinity number, to be- followed by special articles on the University Settlement, Haskell Mu­seum and other topics. Other articles descriptive ofthe experiences of the Mexican expedition will bepresented. Every issue will be fully illustrated.Altogether the future of the WEEKLY is full of invit­ing omens.THE University of Minnesota football team isplanning to take a trip to the Pacific coast dur­ing the Christmas vacation. It is reported thatfour games have already been arranged with the Cali­fornia universities. The eleven of the Chicago Ath­letic Association is also looking earnestly in the samedirection. Last year the 'Varsity eleven had the gloryof being the first football team to cross the RockyMountains, and the II Maroon" was planted, first ofEastern college banners, on Pacific soil. Thus againhas the University of Chicago taken the lead, and isnow securing a following, as is usually the case in allits undertakings.What will be the next initiative?WE hear much said about the subordination ofundergraduate work in the University tothat of the graduate departments, and evencomplaints of the meager position occupied by theundergraduate in the spirit of the institution. Asproof of these statements comparisons are sometimesmade, with especial reference to the senior class, be­tween the' graduating exercises here and the usualcollege commencement.Now, the one thing which is probably most univer­sally observed in young college graduates is their in­ability to understand the relation which they mustsustain to the moving world about them. An usuallyexalted idea of himself as a personal factor of the uni­verse not infrequently handicaps the college man forseveral years after the completion of his course.While this may be in a measure attributable to theposition which each individual may assume in hiscollege life-for the time being, too often, the world to, rhim-yet is not the old-time college commencementwith its class orations and other well known accom­paniments larg�ly to blame for �,,'launching" the youngman in the world in a paper balloon which must col­lapse even with the first gentle rain and let its unfort­unate occupants down to the level of the rest ofhumanity? In the University of Chicago whateverevils there may be in such a custom are avoided.UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO WEEKLY.The college student in the midst of graduates evenlearns early in his course that whatever he accom­plishes must be done by. personal merit, and his sur­roundings, both during his undergraduate work and atthe time of graduation are) to say the least, not calcu­lated to set him upon a pedestal from which he maypityingly look down upon his fellowmen.October the first the members of another class willreceive their bachelor's degree. The class. numbersbut ten, yet this is much the largest class ever gradu­ated at any other than the July Convocations. Dur­ing the coming year four of the class will engage inteaching, one will attend the Northwestern LawSchool, one the Medical College at Johns Hopkins,and the other four will do graduate work here. TheWEEKLY predicts for each of them a no less degree ofsuccess than has accompanied his undergraduate work.THE announcement comes from Paris that Mr.Harry J. Furber, Professor of Political Econ­omy at Northwestern University, after a pro­longed campaign, in which he enjoyed the cordialco-operation of a number of eminent professors ofthe Academy of Paris, is about to procure an impor­tant concession from the government affecting theconditions of admission of foreigners to the collegesof France. If Mr. Furber's scheme is accepted bythe ministry, a graduate of any American institutionof good standing can be matriculated henceforth inthe University of France upon presentation of hisdiploma. It is hoped by the gentlemen who havebeen active in this enterprise that these generousfacilities wi1llargely contribute to the increase of thenumber of American students in Paris. The vastmajority of our students who have in the past soughteducational advantages beyond the resources of ourland, have been drawn to Germany, and doubtless thisfact formed no small item in the enthusiasm whichMr. Furber's French friends displayed in the matter.In the last twenty years higher education in Franceh�s steadily.aimed to rise to a level with that of Ger­many, and there is now �o reason why the reorgan­ized and improved University should not make a bidfor the really large traveling student body of theworld, which has hitherto re�istlessly flowed off tothe great continental rival of France, and served-totheir detriment, naturally think the French-to createsympathies for �hat country in all intellectual centers. 527It may be doubted, however, that the new prrvi­leges will be immediately taken advantage of by alarge number. The supremacy of Germany in edu­cational matters is certainly not owing to an inten­tional slight of the French system on the part of theworld out of revenge for unjust rigors against for­eigners, but is due to the effectiveness with whichthe German universities have taken the lead in thescientific main movement of- our day, through themass of their contributions and the thoroughness oftheir investigations. There has thus been created atradition among us which has a root in every institu­tion of note, and this it will prove difficult to break.Besides there are certain elements in the universitysystem of France such as over-examination, minis­terial interference, starved provincial faculties, and soforth, which are not only unwelcome features in anAmerican's eyes, but will also long continue to ham­per its educational efficiency over against the moreperfect freedom of study in Germany. But the pres­ent reform strikes exactly at these defects, and, ifcertain signs are not misleading, the next few yearsmay see much vaster changes in the same direction.FERDINAND SCHWILL.Examinations for Degrees.The public ex amina tion of J ohn Irwin :r:t u tchinsonfor the degree of Doctor of Philosophy will take placeSeptember 24, at 9: 00 A.

Professor Wilkinson spoke in his usual whole­souled, practical manner, and Mr. Williams badtaken some pains to provide special music.The service was opened with a song by the congre­gation, followed by scripture reading, led by Prof.Nathaniel Butler. Then Mrs. Barr and Mr. Reedof Englewood gave a very pleasant rendition of theduet" Calm as the Night." After prayer by Profes­sor Bruce of the University of Edinburg, Mrs. Barrsang very beautifully the solo, "Fear not, 0 Israel."B�th of the numbers by the visitors were well ren­dered and were much appreciated by the audience.Professor Wilkinson then spoke on "Obedience of -Love," applying both "obedience" and "love" to528 UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO WEEKLY.activities toward Christ. His remarks were based onChrist's words in John 14: 23, "If a man love me hewill keep my words." He said that the characteris­tics of the obedience which springs from love werethat it is inevitable, spontaneous, vigilant of oppor­tunities, undiscriminating, prompt, confident, withoutshame. Love is the parent of obedience, but like­wise obedience is productive of love. Love, obedi­ence and joy are equal in the experience of everyChristian.After the address the University choir sang, Mr.. Lovett singing the solo. .Then the audience joined insinging " Day is Dying in the West" and was dis­missed with the benediction by Professor Wilkinson.Senior Finals.The members ot the senior class who are about to re­ceive their degrees at the end of the Summer Quarterfurnished a uniqueand interesting en­tertainment at"The Finals" Mon­day evening. KentHall was filled tooverflowing byfriends of the Uni­versity and studentswho braved the heatand crowd to hearone of the 1110St de­lig h tful programsBernhard Listemarm. ever given on thecampus. The en­tertainment was furnished by Mr. Eugene Field, Chi­cago's poet, and Mr. Fritz Listemann, the violinist.As soon as he arrived Mr. Field was asked upon theplatform where he was introduced by Mr. WalterPayne, president of the class .. He opened the pro­gram by reciting four of hIS own productions" Fath- .er's Way," "Wynken, Blynken and Nod," a Dutchlullaby,·" The Bow-Leg Boy," and "Our Two Opin­ions.' ,Mr. Listemann ended Part One with a doublenumber consisting of a " Romance" by Ernst, and" Hungarian Dance" by N achez. His execution wasparticularly applauded.When Mr. Field entered for Part Two the applausebegan and continued throughout at every opportu­nity, and when he had finished he was recalled for anencore. At this time he rendered "Casey's Tabled' Hote," "The Night Wind," "The Doll's Wooing,"and" Seein' Things at Night." The last was par­ticularly amusing and called forth an encore, "LittleBoy Blue."Mr. Listernann was equally well received when heappeared again and rendered the '( Grand Polonaise," a composition of his own. He was also recalled, butresponded merely with a bow.Mr. Field ended the program with four num bers en­tited, Uhland's "Three Cavaliers," "Long Ago,""The Wanderers," and "Jes' 'Fore Christmas," ofwhich the latter was by far the best. On the wholethe senior class are to be congratulated upon the suc­cess of the entertainment and the bringing to the Uni­versity of such artists as appeared at their ., Finals."Mr. Kohlsaat accompanied Mr. Field, and sat duringthe program with Dr. Harper amid the palms withwhich the stage was decorated.Caspar Rene Gregory.With this issue the WEEKLY presents a photographof Professor Gregory, the eminent scholar who hasbeen with us this quarter.Caspar Rene Gregory was born in 1846 in Philadel­phia, Pa. He received his early education in thiscountry, graduating in 1864 from the University ofPennsylvania as Bachelor of Arts. In 1872 he com­pleted the course at Princeton Theological Seminary.The degrees of Doctor of Philosophy and Licentiateof Theology he received at Leipzig; the latter ofthese degrees has no equivalent in this country. FromLeipzig also he received in 1893 the degree of Doctorof Theology. The University of Pennsylvania con­ferred on him the degree of Doctor of Laws in 1894.Professor Gregory assisted Dr. Charles Hodge inthe publication of his Systematic Theology. AfterTischendort's death he was chosen to prepare theprolegomena to that author's great eighth edition ofthe Greek New Testament. In order to accomplishthis object he made extensive journeys in Europe andthe East and the result appears in the three volumesof the prolegomena. He is a member of the Ameri­can Philosophical Society; also of the Greek Syllogosof Constantinople, an organization which is the near­est approach to a university permitted by the Turkishgovernment. It is considered in Europe a great honorto belong to the Syllogos.In the University of Leipzig he is Professor Ordina­rius of Biblical and Patristic Greek, a position corre­sponding to that of head professor here. In hischosen field of labor, Professor Gregory is probablywithout a peer.THE insignificance of man in his own home is illus·trated by a remark recently made to H. BeerbohmTree by his little daughter. She was teasing him tobuy her a pony. He declared that he could not affordto purchase such luxuries, but the child was a �latchfor him." Then, papa, why don't you ad: a little better andmake more money? " asked the dear little innocent.And Tree says he is going to get her that pony ifhe has to work eight hours a day for it.UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO WEEKLY..Englewood Y. n. C. A., 6'; Varsity, 42.A great improvement in the 'Varsity team was no­ticed in Saturday's game, although the game was notall that could be desired.. Fumbling behind the lineand fumbling in catching "kick-offs " were much toofrequent. Good interference and tackling offset thisweakness to some extent, still poor' blocking gave theEnglewood team an unearned touchdown. Thea vowed determination of Stagg and Allen to keep anyteam from scoring was given a rude setback whenGraves broke through the lime in the second half,secured the ball, and, unhindered ran forty yards forthe first touchdown of the season against the 'Varsitykickers. A bad pass aided by confusion of signalswas the cause and no one in particular could beblamed for the mishap.The Englewood team did not lack in avoirdupoisbut were rather weak in team work. Neither wastheir .stayi ng quality of the best sort, a fact especiallynoticeable in the second half, when for lack of windthey were powerless to stop the rushes of the 'Varsityrunners. Hadden, the University' of Michigan tackle,has been coaching and playing with the team and hisabsence greatly weakened the visitors' offensive work.The interference for the 'Varsity runners was of thebest order. Brown by good guarding made severallong sprints around the ends. Bowers was tried atleft end, and distinguished himself by several finetackles. Sass was put in Bowers' place the secondhalf but had practically no opportunity to show whathe could do. Brown, at right half, showed up re­markably strong and has the making of a brilliantrunner. His most serious fault seems to be his highrunning and an inclination to get ahead of his inter­ference. N ott Flint had hardly practiced a day withthe team. He made some good gains but was twiceunlucky in dropping the ball. . Williamson was much.in evidence throughout the game and made longgains, but was caught once or twice behind the lineby the opposite tackle. Rullkoetter and "Phil"Allen proved a strong pair in the line and were invul­nerable to the line-bucking of the visitors. White­head's work at right end was, in the main; or betterquality than that of the preceding Saturday and hismistake in failing to get the ball, allowing the visitorsa touchdown, was excusable. Clarke's work atquarter, excepting one or two' I muffs," was uniform- 529ly good and his generalship was of the best order.His nervousness, however, seemed to be a great draw­back in handling the ball.The 'Varsity made two touchdowns the first half,but really did not begin to play ball before the secondpart of the game. Aided by good interferrence fivetouchdowns were made in rapid succession, Hersh­berger kicking goal in each case. This was rather aremarkable performance so early in the season and thisfact alone should prove a source of strength to theteam.· Twenty minute halves were played and thefinal score was 42 to 6.The teams lined up as follows:University.

He was twice defeated at New York Satur­day. W. J. Weefers of the New York Athletic Associ­ation was the winner in both the 100 and 220 yarddashes, defeating Crum with some yards to spare.Crum suffered from a sprained knee and otherwisewas not in good form. Rumors has it that the West­ern sprinter has not had a fair show at the hands ofthe New York trainers and it is to be hoped that HarryCornish's arrival at New York will prove advantageousto the champion sprinter.Tennis-Faculty vs. Students.Out of eight matches played in the faculty. students,tennis tournament, five matches have gone to thefaculty representatives to three for the students.

City.[Decidedly the choicest Literary Mor-sels of the age.-Critic.] -Julia Marlowe Taber is making anelaborate production this season of" King Henry IV." She will assnme thecharacter of Prince Hal.Amusements.McVicker's Theatre.An audience that was effusive in itsgreeting to Comedian Crane, and like­wise effusive in its acknowledgment ofthe good points in Martha Morton'scomedy, "His W'ife's Father," filled Mc­Vicker's Theater to the doors on Mondaynight and forgot the heat in its thoroughenjoyment of the play and of the per­formance of it. The play easily dupli­cated the hit it made in other cities andmade good all the words of praise saidof it in advance. In" His Wife's Father"Miss Morton has written' a very whole­some little comedy, which one cannotsee without feeling the better for it.The authoress had no time for the reign­ing fads of the day; she refused to dis­cuss the new woman and what is moreshe did not drag in a number of types ofsociety which society could well dispensewith on the grounds of immorality. Shemade her people those of respectability,and after the immoral plays which thepublic has been surfeited with for sometime the little comedy had a most re­freshing effect. The Chicago Opera House.The current attraction at this beauti­ful theater is Edward E. Rice's company:of comedians, presenting the "GlobeTrotter," Louis DeLange's new comicplay. Mr. Rice, who is acknowledgedto be the foremost manager of burlesqueand comedy organizations has on thisoccasion "gotten together a company ofrare excellence, headed by that unctiouscomedian, William Hoey, and includingM. A. Kennet, Lorimer Stoddard, Fred­erick Perry, R. D. Abbey, Mrs. DionBoucicault (Louise Thorndyke), GeromeEdwardy, Ada Alexandra and AubreyBoucicault. The "Globe Trotter" ispronounced a success, having the ele­ments that make success. The plot is apopular one, the story being founded onthe Paul Jones' wager to circle the globewithin a given time, leaving Bostonwithout a cent and returning with $5,000.This particulur "Globe Trotter" wouldhave failed ignominiously in his effort ifit were not for the assistance afforded byone" Buttsy," a tramp, impersonated byWilliam Hoey, who not only plays thepart of a tramp but incidentally dis­guises himself as a deaf and dumb oldwoman and an English Lord causing 110end of merriment by his original diplo­matic methods of advancing his em­ployer's interests throughout the play.The SchUler Theater.Kellar, "the only American magi­cian," began a two weeks' engagementat the Schiller Theater on Sunday night,and was welcomed by a very large audi­ence of old admirers. It was admittedthat Kellar'S entertainment this year isgreater than ever before. His genius formysticism Seems to defy all natural laws.He caused flowers to bud and bloom be­fore the audience's eyes, and then cutsthe blossoms from their stalks and passedthem around the house. He furnishedall kinds of wines and liquors from onebottle, afterward breaking the bottle andtaking from it a milk white rat.Another Half-Fare Excursion.To Boston via the Wabash.
