UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO WEEKLY.Single Copies10 Cents. CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, APRIL 9, 1896. VOL. IV, No. 26.1\ MEETING.CHARLES SUMNER PIKE.Two souls once met on life's highway,Two souls of a noble mold;Sick and fainting and sore were they,Sick of this world so cold;The one was a woman's, of angel kind,Held back by a balking ban;The other, a creature of mercy's mind­The soul of a growing man. They met as the stars do sometimes meet,When whirling adown the sky,Flash for a moment a starry streak,Then swirl and sweep on by;They met as the angels on the earth,Sometimes all weighed with cares,Are taken by mortals with joy and mirth,And feasted-all unawares.And thus it was when day had fled,And come had the chilly night jThey both departed with lifted head,And dreamed of a world aright;They met, they feasted, they loved-and thenEach went to one's place and part;But each returned to the world again,With a larger and lighter heart!CHICI\GO VIGNETTES.HAWKINS, THE RED-HAIRED.Hawkins had discovered an element, which is alittle thing used in chemistry. There are perhapseighty of them; why an eighty-first should be valua­ble, I do not know. But an eighty-first Hawkins haddiscovered; and Presy, hearing of it, had gone forthand discovered Hawkins.Hawkins felt very much like an element himself, ashe turned his cuff." packed his grip, and started forChicago.He hoped, being -imaginative, that the element wasas glad to be discovered as he was. He felt strangelyakin to it, somehow, as he compared his insignificantpast with the bright future opening before him; hefelt as though the fortunes of the element and his ownwere linked together to stand or fall.So he came up out of Iowa, rejoicing. And whenhe was come up, he felt still more akin to his element.For as that, being discovered, found itself in companywith eighty of its brethren; so Hawkins. He foundthat Chicago held a great many men; and that theywere not all kind and thoughtful. He found somewho sneered at his element, intimating that it wasnot genuine. He found some who had discovered twoelements, or even three, and thought little of him whohad only one to his credit. He even found one man of whom it was whispered that he had discovered anew sort of germ. Before this man, Hawkins, thered-haired, quailed.Now we are not told whether elements are male andfemale, and the assumption is against it; so it is safeto say that one difficulty in which Hawkins wasplunged was spared to his element. For Hawkinsfound at Chicago not only men but women, and beingunused to these, he fell in love with one. Not withthe one who had found out a longer name for mole­cules, and wore her hair banged; but with a little onewith eyes as 'black and deep as a coal-pit, and justabout as dangerous. Hawkins noticed that othermen were apt to. come around and get in his waywhile he was talking to her, and rightly argued thatshe was popular. But he had youth and red hair,and all things seem possible to those who have thesetwo. So he fell in love with her, and hoped that shewould do the same by him. Hope is good, but reali­zation is better, thought he; and one day he askedher if she would marry him. Her name, by the way,was St. Clair, Ethel St. Clair. She said:" I beg your pardon? ' ,Hawkins, in a humble and awkward position,repeated his remarks. She said:"Oh, thank you, Mr. Hawkins. I will put yourname down."834 UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO WEEKLY." But," replied Hawkins, "I don't understand you.I don't want my name put down. I want to marryyou, to marry you, to marry you-o-cr you to marryme, rather."" I see," said the girl. "And I don't blame youone bit. I've often thought I'd like to marry myself.But I can't tell you now. You'll have to take yourturn with the rest, Mr. Hawkins. You'll get youranswer in about three weeks. I hope, for your sake,it will be favorable."With a gasp, the red-haired one went away. Sub­sequently he canceled his engagement with the Uni­versity and returned to that small college whence hehad come. And there his principal sorrow was thathe could not reconceal the element he had so rashlydiscovered. He feared that the world was too largefor it, as the University had been too large for him.He pictured it suffering as he had suffered (he was animaginative man) and he was glad, at least, that itwas only a little element, hardly grown up, as it were.He hoped it would never get so far along in life as topropose to anyone who kept memoranda, and sentanswers in three weeks.CASEY." I tell you what," said Casey, as he followed meproudly down the center of the brilliantly lighted cafeand took his seat at the opposite end of the smalltable, facing the silver-mounted mirror that ran alongthe wall, " I tell you what, dis is way out 0' sight!Ureck's ain't in it in a t'ousand years! Say, get ontode candlesticks wid de lace balley 'skirts 'round' em,an' size up de pearl handled pitchforks by de plates.Say, dis is pretty hot ice, ain't it?" And Casey'slittle ten-year-old head tipped up an inch higher withpride as he gazed about him:After telling him again and again how truthfullyhe spoke and giving his dirty little cap and a half­a-dollar to the waiter, I picked up the menu card andtossed it over to. Casey, saying as I did so, "Well,Casey, my boy, here we are! Now, what shall it be?"Casey took the card with an air of a mighty poten­tate, glanced at it with a scornful look of indifferenceas he held it upside down before his eyes, and thenlike the true little gentleman that he was, passed itback to me with the remark, "Oh, I don't mind.Youse had better order fer bote of us, seein' it's onyou! I guess youse can read Frinch pooemtry betterthan me, an' knows what's de ting!" Absolutelyignoring the waiter's sudden attack of coughing, andburying his embarrassment in deep drinks from theglass of ice water before him.About a half an hour later, after we had gonethrough the oysters, soup, fish, and a few other fore­runners of the feast that was to follow, Casey, whohad been singularly silent for the last thirty minutes, looked over at me as I sat watching him eat, andwinked wickedly, and a smile lit up his face as hesaid, "Say, dis beats de waifs' picnic way beyontde cemetery! What else we goin' ter eat?" .When I had assured him that there was twice asmuch remaining still untasted, including a fine ice andice cream and cake, Casey leaned easily back in hischair with the air of a man who had never known acare and began to tell. me the story of his short andsad, little life."Vouse remember, Jack," he began; it was thefirst time he had called me by my first name, andsomehow or other it made me feel exceedingly rightwith the world ;." youse remember de night wese twomet down at Ureck's cafe-de night of de Teta Noobanquet-an' youse licked de newspaper guy 'cause Iwouldn't sing fer him? Say, youse didn't do a t'ingto him, did you? oh, no! Well, Jack, old man, datwaz de night I swore off drinkin'. Yes sir, sez I tomeself, sez I, 'Casey, don't drink no'tin', but youseallus be a gentleman; look at Pete, de barkeep', sezI, 'de reason he's allus gets along wid everyone isjes' 'cause he don't drink not'in' an' is allus sober an'looks after his job,' an' sez I to meself, , look at yousefriend Jack there. Casey, the way to make money an'get a rep is ter keep sober I Why, Jack, if me fadderhadn't got drunk one night he'd never got inter afight wid me mudder an' kilt her, an' de' judgewouldn't have jailed him fer life fer it, an' he wouldn'thave died in his cell two months after he got der, an'I wouldn't have been left alone in de world wid no oneto support but me honorable self, an' have gone interde song an' dance biz, an' got slugged by de reporter'an' met you an'-an'-well, I guess dat last don'tfollow in dere wid de drink story-but, any�ay, Jack,I t'ink it's a bad t'ing an' I've quit de stuff!" AndCasey took a long, deep breath and a fresh gulp otice water and fell to on the ice cream with redoubledenergy.For some time I sat there in silence thinking uponall that my young friend, Casey, had said, and recall­ing to my mind certain truths that I heard again andagain but had never given heed to; after a time Icaught Casey's eye and reaching out my hand acrossthe table, I said to him, " Jimmie, let's shake on it, andswear off together!" Then turning to the waiterwho had just come up, I said severely, "Vou maychange that last order to two glasses of lemonade, andbring them at once, please! " K. K.THE FACUL1'Y RULES AND THE BASEBALL CAPTAIN.He walks across the campus with his head' down,but fire in his eye. He is the captain of the baseballteam, and he has heard that one of his promising coltshas flunked a course. He darts into the examiner'soffice, is lost for an instant and comes out with a lightUNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO WEEKLY.step. He has heard that the news is untrue, or ratherpremature.If the University had in its system a regular day onwhich flunk notices were served, much sleep wouldbe saved, to the welfare of the team and captain. Asit is now, from Saturday morning until Wednesdaynight the men are on edge. Each morning they comejoyfully to practice, for they have received no notices,and think the time for them is past; each eveningthey retire anxious, for the dreaded notices are not outyet, and there is still the chance of one. This sus­pense is hardest on the captain. Several of his bestmen are away for the vacation-men on whom he de­pends to pull the team through. Several of thosehave lingering fears of a flunk notice-the dreadfulthing which will prevent their playing if received.Each day, then, must the captain, anxious andtroubled, wait for news of them from the examiner;he must trace down rumors; he must combat croakingprophets of evil; he must wait in sorrowful suspense,never knowing on what day or at what hour the blowwill fall. For himself he has no fears; but for the fresh­men, the men whom all through the preceding quar­ter he has been urging to greater diligence in study-for these he is afraid. Will they pull through? Hehopes so, but he does not know. Professors of Greekare crafty, and the traps of the Latinists catch many;mathematics is a pitfall, and even 'English has beenknown to go before a fall. So he wanders up anddown, counting chances; he hears this and despairs,hears that and hopes again, till finally, on one fatal,glorious day, the notices are actually out, and thesuspense is ended. The examiner regrets to state thatSmith has an E, and Thompson a D, and Wayland anE again; and from Smith and Thompson and Way­land there come curses not loud but deep, and thesound of the gnashing of teeth, and five-dollar bills forspecial exams.; but the heart of the baseball captainis lightened at last, for none of his men have goneunder. Brown has squeaked through his history, andJ ones and Robinson through their ethics ; the teamis unbroken, the men may all play, peace comes in assuspense flies out, and the captain, is glad again, forhe knows that now surely nothing can stop us, andhis name will go down in history at the 'head of awinning nine. J. W. L."THE DANCING MAN."(With apologies to K. K.)He is a tall young man, and he always asks youfor a dance. If you have any regard for your life oryour feet, you tell him that your card is full; if youare kindly by nature or too prone to tell the truth,you sigh gently, and give him a blank extra, mean­while offering up a little prayer that he will fall downand break his leg, or that the patronesses will see fit to close the dance before that extra comes. But nosuch luck. The blank extra comes, and with it thetall young man.You look up at him sweetly, and say:"Shan't we go into that little alcove and talk? Iam so tired! "But he answers disappointedly:"Oh, do let's dance it. Do you know, I don't be­lieve you like to dance with me."Then you get up, and nerve yourself for the ordeal.He clasps you firmly about the waist, holds yourhand straight out. You start off briskly; you comein contact with everything in the room-chairs, posts,walls, people. The tall young man walks on yourfeet every other step, and yon wonder in a vague waywhether your white slippers will ever clean again.After the first round you rather regain consciousness,and you look up pleadingly at the tall young man.He smiles contentedly at you and proceeds to tell youwith a proud glance, that he learned to dance in justtwo lessons. You willingly take his word for it. Hegoes on to say that the girls all love to dance withhim because he is so tall, and he leads so well. Thenhe looks at you as if he were thinking how veryhappy you must be, just to dance with him and tolook at him IAt fast it is over, and you drop exhausted into achair, and muse upon the excessive modesty of man.As the tall young man disappears, you murmur gentlyto yourself:"From envy, hatred and malice, and ' the dancingman,' good Lord, deliver us ! " DORIS.A FRESHMAN."George! but that frapPe tasted good! Do youknow that last dance almost finished me!" he saidtactfully to the girl. "Here, let's poke these cupsunder the chair. Too much bother to take 'em back."He shut the fan suddenly. "Lord! but some onetook nearly all the skin off that foot," he said, wag­ging gently one creaking, elongated, patent leather,and looking meaningly at the girl.She smiled sympathetically."Say," he gracefully continued, (( they're an awfullot of 'stags' here, aren't there? I don't like tobother with a girl myself, only they cut a fellow here·unless he trots 'em round."The girl said something I did not hear." Oh ! yes, I'm glad most of the informals come inthe spring. They just ought to do the way they doat our club," he went on with an air of wisdom pleas­ing to behold. "The fellows always go in ducksuits, and skin down to the gym. and take showerbaths afterwards. I tell you, it's just great. Why,one night I" -but the beginning of the next dancecut short his burst of confidence, BRIGGS.835The Author.'Twas not that the world was kindOr that I had the gift of song,The world but smiled at my verseEre your spirit chanced along.You are the soul of the lines,That have stirred the old world's heart,I could not choose but sing,My pen could not choose but start.And you say that I did it, Love?Oh, nay, 'twas not I but you,I sang; for your smile was fair,I sang; for your eyes were blue.836 UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO WEEKLY.Prince Wolkonsky/s Lectures.The first of a series of six lectures on "Russia andRussian Institutions" by Prince Wolkonsky, wasgiven last Monday evening at Stein way Hall.

If the University wants better police protection,it will have to wait till some of the Chicago million­aires pay the taxes they owe."The declaration quoted above was made last Fridayby Captain Aldrich of the Tenth Precinct Police Sta­tion. The captain was talking with a representativeof the WEEKLY who had just exhibited an article onthe footpad nuisance, taken from the Times-Herald,and who had sought headquarters to learn if therewas not soon to be an increase' in the force of police­men who patrol the southern end of the precinct." \Ve know just as well as you do," said the cap­tain, "that more men are needed over there by theUniversity and on the Plaisance, especially at night.Patrolmen's beat too long? Of course it's too long,. but we can't help that. I think the robberies in theUniversity halls come from the inside. But still thereought to be some way of stopping the trouble.'I This precinct is bounded by the lake, Thirty­ninth street, Sixtieth street and Cottage Grove avenue.In it there are eighty-five patrolmen for day and nightbeats,-about twice as many being on at night as inthe daytime. Last night we had forty-three men out,of whom thirteen were in plain citizen's clothes. Inthe Plaisance district there were three men, two ofthem without uniforms."We did have in the precinct 134 men j now wehave been cut down to a total force of 116 men, eighty­five of whom are outside. We may be cut down stillmore, according to Chief Badenoch's last report. Thewhole trouble is in the city finances. There's nomoney to hire policemen. Besides being inadequatethe tax assessments are unequal on different citizens.So long as this is the fact, you must take whatever·police service you can get."A Flirtation on the Cars.I 'did not even .know her nameNor where she lived, nor whence she came,­'Twas sad, and yetWas I so very much to blameThat all my heart should start to flame,And flare and fret?She was so sweet, so passing fair,With such a smile, with such an air,­What could I do ?A glance as shy, as debonair,Au eye as bright, a smile as rare,I never knew!And so I smiled across the aisle,And met the winsome, merry smile,She sent so bold jAt last she Iaughed, then after whileShe cooed aloud in friendly style,I " {'m free years old !"c.

WEEKLY, Tuesday, Mr. George A.Sawyer and Mr. H. L. Ickes were elected to member­ship 011 the editorial board.Three new publications have been addedNEc�;g:t to the list of six already being put forthby the University: The Botanical Ga­zette, The American Journal 0/ Theology and the Uni­versify Record. The first of these is publishedmonthly; its editor, who instituted it in 1875, isJohn M. Coulter, head professor of botany. Thesecondwi ll appear for the first time January I, 1897,and because of its character and position may beexpected to command wide attention. The Record isnow being issued weekly as an enlarged official bul1e­tin and will be made to include what formerly wentinto the Quarterly Calendar, now discontinued. TheRecord is not, as a few have suspected, a rival 9f theWEEKLY; the fields of the two papers are prettywidely separated: One of the most important meetings everASIGNIFICANT held at the University was that of theMEETING. North Central Association of Collegesand Secondary Schools held here Friday and Satur­day. The Association comprises all the universitiesand the principal colleges and secondary schools ofOhio, Michigan, Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin, Minne­sota, Iowa, Nebraska, Missouri and Kansas. This,its first annual meeting, was fully attended and was asuccess in every respect. The purposes of the organ­ization are of the greatest import to the cause of edu-cation in this country.In two or three respects the recent springSPRING CON- convocation was out of the usual orde�.VOCATION.General admission tickets were given tothe audience instead of reserved seat checks as for­merly. Behind and among the boxes, the walls andfurniture were freely decorated with maroon-an ex­cellent idea. The address and the president's quar­terly statement were full of interest and at the sametime were shorter than these parts of the programhave usually been; consequently the whole exercisewas abbreviated, the exact duration of time being anhour and twenty-five minutes. It may be taken forgranted that to shorten the program in time is desira­ble, in that it tends to remove tediousness and toincrease the interest in the exercises.DEBATING. The report from the East to the effectthat the Debating Union of ColumbiaUniversity manifested hard feeling because the Ora­torical Association of our University desired to post­pone the intercollegiate debate until next year, seemsto have been without foundation. At least this atti­tude was not shared by Columbia's representatives,those who are most interested in the postponement.This is evidenced in a letter which the OratoricalAssociation has received from the secretary of theColumbia Debating Union, who is one of the debaters.He says that the proposal to have the debate nextyear instead of this. year meets with the entire ap­proval of Columbia's representatives, and asks ourAssociation to name a date when it wishes the contestto take place. Hence it would appear that there isno reason to suppose, as the report also indicated,that Columbia and Chicago will not debate next year.The Iowa Baptist Herald for March contains an il lustratedarticle q..escriptiv€;! of the University, . . . ,UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO WEEKLY. 839the championship a matter of dispute.

D. Salisbury will lecture on the incidentsand adventures of the Peary Relief Expedition of1895, at the Hyde Park Baptist church, on Saturdayevening of this week.

At any rate it is got together in the most com­mendable manner. It treats wholly of fact. In its prepara­tion a hundred or more authorities have been consulted, ofwhich a partial list is given; and on each page there are ref­erence notes to these authorities. The author's style is that ofthe scientific historian: economical, concise and dignified. The Law Appltcable to Strikes. J. lI-f. Moses. pp. 60. $I.OO; press of KingBros., Baltimore.As a prize thesis in the University of Maryland this workwas produced in 1895 by the author, a member of the Baltimorebar.

Thomas Company.This is a comprehensive statement of the growth, presentcondition and resources of the United States. After describ­ing the geography of the country, the author considers thegovernment, its distribution of powers, and the organization ofStates and Territories, together with their subdivisions. Sta­tistics are given concernirtg the origin and growth of thepopulation, its distribution and condition, Then follows adiscussion of the various industries of the country, and ahopeful" Forecast of the Future." Thus by combining inone volume all the physical and. material items concerned inthe nation's progress the author has been able to present acomplete and definite view of its condition.The Southern States of the American Union, considered in their relationsto the Con·stitution of the United States and to the Resulting' Union. By J.L. M: Curry. PP.272. $I.2.5_. B. F.Johnson Publishing Co., Richmond, Va.Professor H. P. Judson has said that Jefferson'� interpreta­tion of the constitution was the germ from which grew therebellion; "the national government was a committee onforeign affairs for the states." This expression epitomizes theprinciple about which Mr. Curry haswritten the above men­tioned book, namely: The Southern States did not enterthe Civil War without feeling that they were acting accordingto the national constitution. This principle, with its countlessamplifications and accompaniments, is rarely recognized inthe North as having any existence, or is at le�st overlooked,and the volume by Mr. Curry is an opportunity to correcterroneous impressions and, if all prejudice whatsoever canbe laid away,' to view sympathetically some of the underlyingideas prevalent in the South. It is very hard even at this lateday to view dispassionately the direct causes of the Rebellion,but the time is fully come for mutual, forgiving and forgetting.Any book which tends to foster free and careful considerationof sectional questions which have risen in the past deservesrecognition. Mr. Curry's style is coldly judicial and shows anearnest desire to be trueto fact; his "aim is to reconstructideas and opinions adverse to the South, in so far as they arefounded on ignorance and prejudice." The book is attract­ively prepared and arranged, is adapted for use as a school�ext-book or general knowledge, and merits wide reading.Bri�k's Express Comp��y makes ten o'clock, one o'clock,five � clock a�d. other trams from Hyde Park and vicinity tot�e city.
