Col. Weaver quizzed his cIhbb in economics this morning. Remember the oratorienl contest begins tonight at 7 :J0. Come early and avoid disturbance. The military department had dress parade and guard mounting yesterday afternoon. “Dr.” Andrews and “Phebe” Greeuman were in ludiunapolis seeing Hopper last night. ('lias. Newlin has recovered from his severe cold. The Telephone regrets to learn that there will probably not be a single candidate for the oratoriea honors from Indiana university at the coming state oratorical contest. Those who will recall the brilliant record that this institution made in years gone by in this work, will be surprised at such news. Evidently the system of speeializ ing and the feeling that now domi nates for athletic sports is respon sible for this change of the old order of things, but the Telephone believes that the public will not agree that it is wise that oratory should be neglected. Tho young man who graduates this year will not be asked ten years hence as to his foot ball record, but his ability as an orator may cut quite a figure in his success. So it is to be hoped that the old days ol competition in oratory’ may return, and that Indiana university will again be the center of attraction on such occasions.—Bloomimjton 'Telephone. Frank Life will examine the solid Geometry class tomorrow afternoon instead of Prof. A \ n s as was stated yesterday. Mr. Floy will not be in school next semester. Twenty’ young men of the class of ’99 presented the prep, school with a new Bible this morning. Miss Starr made the presentation
speech.
The doors will be dosed at 7 :30 tonight in Meharry hall. If you want a seat come early. Dr. Ridpath, Messrs. March, of the class of ’70, and Holph, of Greenfield, ami Lieutenant Hand ley, of 24th Infantry, formerly of Arizona, visited chapel today. Dr Ridpath made a few remarks. The Dr. is always welcome. Prof. Johnson sprung a quiz in sight reading on his Cicero class this morning. Who will he the winner tonight? The oratorical contest which will be held in Meharry hall this evening at 7.30 to select a man to represent DePauw at the state contest, promises to be the best contest for some time past. Owing to the uncertainty as to who will win great interest is being manifested. There will be seven contestants: C. Hall, Want and Lewis from the senior class, Fwing, Debaun and Wood son from the junior, and Wade from the sophomore class. The judges are Mayor Birch, Mrs. Mansfield and Mr. Jesse Weik on manuscript, and Rev. Coultas, of Indianapolis, Attorney Royse and Prof. Stalker, of Terre Haute,^on delivery. The judges on manuscript have graded the orations and the grades are in the hands of President Gobin. Some special musical selections will be given tonight and a regular good time is promised while the judges are j counting up. Fyery one come. The union meeting of Y. M. and , Y. W. C. A. will dismiss in time to get seats at the oratorical. Those who have missed quizes in biology will have the opportun ity'of making it up tomorrow afternoon at 3 o clock.
THE DOWN GRADE. When the engine is a puffin. An a snorin an a-bluihn, Like it mighty of’en will; When you hear the thing a-blowin, Then you know it’s hard a-goin. For it’s climbin up a hill. When it goes a-whizzin by you In a way that’s like to try you. If yo’re just a hit afraid: When it’s runnin fast and faster. Like* it doesn't need a master, Then it’s on a down grade. When you see n man a-workin. An his duty never shirkin. An n-sweatin more »*r U ss; When you see him elimbin higher. An he nevt r seems to tire. He's ..dimbin to success. When you see one groin easy, In a manner light an breezy, Like L r pleasure he was made, Just remember he’s a-showin. That it's mighty easy goin Wlit n you’re on the down grade. —Chicago Post.
WHO WAS TUB THIEF
“Mrs. Mclhurst . compliments, sir, and would you please <■ c;e down to her stateroom lin mediately I had just shut myself Into my little cilice on deck, having run through the ship's accounts before turning In that night. It Is quite a mist ike, by the way, to think that wo pursers havo no more onerous duties to perform when at son than to watch over the passengers' comfort, rend prayers on Sunday, and keep a store of nautical Information at our linger ends for the benefit of every curious voyager. Nowadays the purser of a crack American liner—making perhaps a record passage of six days or so—has his work pretty well cut out for him during the en tire voyage. On the present occasion I had scarcely got my accounts fairly in hand when 1 was Interrupted by a slight tap at the door. 1 rose at once nod opened It, and there stood Mrs. Mclhurst's Canadian maid, with Unshed face and nervous, agitated man-
ner.
“Is there anything wrong?” I asked, with some surprise, when she had delivered her message. “There is, sir,” she replied hastily. “All I know”— She was about to make some eager statement, hut pulled herself up suddenly and tripped along the dec;k without another word. I switched off the electric light, locked the door and hurried away after her. When I got to Mrs. Melhurst's stateroom, I saw al once that something had occurred to causo her serious anxiety. The berths, the couch, and even the lloor were littuvd with the contents of cabin trunks and handbags. In the midst of the confusion stood the lady herself, looking decidedly perplexed and annoyed. "This is very singular, Mr. Morse," she said, pointing loan empty jewel ease which layopenon the upper berth. “Mydinmond ornaments are missing.” "You don’t say so!” I exclaimed in sheer amazement. “I do say so,” she replied sharply. ‘‘You pan see for yourself that they are
gone.”
"How did it happen?” “I cannot possibly tell you. At dinner this evening I happened to mention to Mrs. Latimer that I had picked up a curious crescent slipped brooch on the continent. She expressed a wish to see it. When the tables were cleared, I came in here, took out the brooch and left tho jewel case lying on the berth. I was careful to lock the cabin door, hut when I got back, the
case was empty.”
"How long were you absent?”
“Not more than half an hour.” ‘‘You are nuro you had the key In your
possession all the time?”
“Positive. I never let It out of my hand
while I was in the saloon.”
I was fairly staggered. I examined the lock carefully, but there was absolutely nothing to show that It. had Is-en tampered with. I could lilt upon no lietter suggestion than that Mrs. Melhurst might possibly have mislaid tho jewels somewhere. This had tho sole effect of exasperating the lady to such a degree—for it seems that she had already searched every hole
has some solid reasons for his exclusiveness. If, in addition to this, he happens to be of an uncommunicative disposition, with black hair and swarthy complexion, given to wearing a slouched hat and long cloak, rightly or wrongly you put him down as a decidedly suspicious character. Now we hapiMMicd to have a passenger on board—a Brazilian named De Castro— : who tallied In every way with this description. But for the fact 1 had conclusive evidence to show ho could not havo been directly concerned In the robberies—for inquiries proved he had remained on deck the whole evening—he certainly would have been treated to a private Interview In the captain’s cabin. As It was, I was i forced to conclude that black hair, swarthy complexion, slouched hut and cloak, were quite compatible with a man's Innocence. Nothing further oocttrrod to excite sus ptelon until the hist day or two of the voyage. Then, one evening after dinner, i word was brought to me that three other staterooms had been rilled in the salt'e j mysterious manner. Watches, jewelry [ and even money had disappeared, though in all three cases the passengers stoutly declared they had left their doors locked. When the alarm reached me, I happened to he standing in my deck office. I had In my hand L’O sovereigns which I had just I taken in exchange for American money to I accommodate one of our passengers. I didn't wait to lock up the gold. 1 simply j placed it on my desk, switched off the light and hurried away. I had no fears for the | safety of the sovereigns, my door having a particularly Intricate lock, in which I took ! good care to turn the key before leaving. 1 remained below for an hour or so in. j vestiguting these fresh complaints, but, ns in the other eases, I was utterly unable to make head or tail of them. Vexed and bewildered. I went hack to my office, unlocked the chair, turned on the light ami mechanically stretched out my hand to take the sovereigns from my desk. My hand closed upon nothing more solid than thin air—my little pile of gold had van lahod! For a minute or two I stood there gazing blankly before me, so utterly confused and dismayed that I could scarcely hrh g my wits to hear upon the mysterious affair. Then 1 managed to pull myself together and took a look around the little cabin. In the course of my observations my eyes happened to rest upon the porthole, which stood wide open, the weather being oppressively hot. 1 regarded the innocent looking porthole with the air of a veritable Sherlock Holmes. I went outside and thrust my arm In through the opening, hut my hand did not reach within fully two yards of tho desk. Still, ii struck me as being the only way by which the thief could have got at the money, and I determined to put my theory to a practical test. 1 hurried down into the saloon, where most of the passengers were congregated. ; As yet few of them were aware of the robberies, fur we had kept the matter as secret as possible. I went straight up to a young American gentleman, who l knew had a great many irinl.cts in his stateroom and was rather careless, too, in the way he left them lying about. “Don't show any surprise,” I whispered, glancing round at the other occupants of the saloon, “hut might I ask whether your stateroom is looked?” “It is.” “And is tho porthole open?" “I should think sol I don’t want to find the place as stulTy as the engine room when 1 go to turn In.” “Well, just pass me your key. I want to try a little experiment. Wait till I’m gone, and then stroll up on dock. Is’t yourself he seen—on the lower deck particularly—hut don't pay too close attention to any one you may notice loitering there." He fell in readily with my scheme. I went and shut myself In his stateroom, crouching down so that I could just keep an eye on the porthole over the top of the lower berth. I remained in that cramped position until my limbs fairly ached, and I was half inclined to give It up ns a had
job.
Hut suddenly, ns I glanced up at the porthole, my blood ran cold, and in all my life I never had such difficulty to keep down a yell. In the dim light I saw a lung, thin, hairy arm thrust In through the opening! The next moment a small black hand hatl fastened upon a leather

to beat a retreat in order to lay the matter before the captain. 1 had just got to the head of the saloon stairs when I heard some one hounding up after mo, three or four steps at a time. I turned and shw a Mr. Carter—who, by the way, had made several voyages with us on previous isioasions. “I say, Morse," he said, taking mo confidently by the arm, “you've got soino queer customers on hoard this trip.” “How so? ' "Why, some one’s gone and walked off with my silver cigarette case, a couple of rings and a pair of gold"— “The douce!” “Well, It looks uncommonly like as If the Individual you refer to had a hand in the business, for I don’t see how any ordinary mortal could get into one's cabin, | with the disir bolted in the inside, unless he tuanged to squeeze through the port-
hole.”
"Tell me exactly what has happened?” “My dear fellow, howouu 1? It'senough to puzzle a Philadelphia lawyer! You see, I went to my stateroom after dinner, feeling a hit, drowsy. I In died the door—I can swear to that—ami I remember Hinging he cigarette case, rings and a pair of gold sleeve links on the upper berth. Then I <»ut on my dressing gown, stretched myself upon tho couch, and had a downright good snooze. When I got up, about live minutes ago, I found my trinkets had van-
ished.”
'Pen my word, things were beginning to look serious, and no mistake! 1 lost no time in hunting up the captain and mad.i him acquainted with the state of affairs. Ho was just as much puzzled us I was my- ] self. The first thing next morning he sent a message to Mrs. Melhurst, requesting a private interview In his cabin on deck. He also signified his wish that I should be present. We Isith questioned the lady olosoly, hut her replies did not i tend to throw any light upon the singular
occurrence.
Nevertheless we determined to keep a close watch upon the staterooms In future It was pretty evident we had a "block sheep" on board—proha lily an old hand at the business. For the next few days we hud no further complaints. The thief was evidently “lying low,” waiting until tranquillity was restored before making a fresh attempt. Meanwhile I kept my eyes open. I observed the little peculiarities of the different passenger, and took particular note of the manner In which
they occupied their time.
On board ship, when you find a man who shows a marked preference for his
ul>ove the spot where I judged the stateroom to ho situated, I came face to face with the Brazilian, l)e Castro. In spite of the heat he was wearing his long clonk with the deep cape and had his eternal cigarette between his teeth. He looked at me with an air of frank surprise, and I looked at him with an air of profound
suspicion.
Suddenly a happy thought flashed through my mind. I turned round and sprung down tho saloon stairs, running full tilt against the chief steward, who was standing at the bottom. “Nut*!" 1 cried, without giving him time to recover from his surprise. Kcully he looked at me with such utter consternation I verily believe he was convinced I had taken leave of my senses. “Do you hear?" I went on excitedly. "Get me a handful of nuts—quick!” When he brought them, 1 hurried hack on deck. The Brazilian had moved away a little toward the stern. 1 went close up, stood right in front of him, and then begun deliberately to crack the nuts. He regarded me with a pitying sort of look, but I paid little attention to him. 1 was watching that cloak of his. Presently I saw a corner of the capo drawn aside and beheld a pair of small gleaming eyes fixed greedily upon me. It was enough. My suspicions wore confirmed. I Hung the rest of the nuts Into tho sen, and walking straight up to Do
Castro said:
“I must ask you to accompany me to
the captain’s cabin.”
“Vet you mean?” he cried, drawing
back.
I was determined to stand no nonsense, end straightway took him by the shoulders. Tho moment I laid my hands upon him I heard a vicious snarl under bis cape. It was pulled suddenly aside and out flew
a monkey!
The little brute went at mo tooth and nail. I saw the gleam of a knife, too, in the Brazilian's hand, but I let him have niy fist straight between the eyes before he could use It, and he measured his length
upon the deck.
The quartermaster came running up, snd the rascal was dragged off to the cap tain’s cabin When searched there, Mrs. Melhurst's diamonds, Mr. Carter’s cigarette case and rings and a miscellaneous collection of other valuables were found upon him. In his stateroom we discovered a perforated box, apparently Intended for
