WORK TO BE PUSHED

ciriTAi. stock or Tin: c. i. &. v. W. t'nldvrcll Appointed (ifnrrnl rinnnpfr of I lie Lake Sliorr Knud 31. I InKnll. n Strike. The stockholders of the Chl-raso, Indiannpolis & Chittaneoga held their annual meeting yesterday in this city, re-electing the oi l board of director?, and they in turn the oflici.ils who have acted the past year. The most important action taken v.-as the inorea?ing of the capital stock of the company one million dollars. F. U Patrick, ir-lJpnt of the company, is very enthusiastic regarding the enterprise. Hetwrtn liockort and Mitchell the grading la mostly tinker contract, and work i to be pushed, Mr. Patrick says. This side of t'rchell the work drags somewhat, partly owin to the depressed times of eighteen months past in business, especially in building railroads, and rartly because of want of Interest shown by Indiinapolitans In he enterprise, but with the Improvement In business in prospect, he thinks a fewmonths will change the face of matters this side of Mitchell. The cold shoulder the citizens of IndianapolU are pivinf? the Indianapolis, Loansport & CnlcaRo is rather discouraging to the building of roads to this city; still, Mr. Patrick, who is really the father of the C. I. & C. enterprise, is y no means discouraged. II. It. Cowen, secretary and treasurer of the company, a resident of Cincinnati, was present, and dos not anticipate any trouble in getting the money to build the road when it is ritedfd and its prospective value as a railroad becomes understood. One or two haziness men who have taken an interest in this road are very confident that when built it will prove to be one of lndianapolis'a best lines, as it opens up a country which now has no railway facilities. In fact. It opens 3to.ne quarries, coal fields nd farming regions which greatly need a dJre:t line to the capital. fnjcnllN on Striken and I,nlor. One of the ablest addresses mad? before a large number of railway officials and b.isi:.es men at the opening of the ner union station at St. Loui3 was that of M. 1Z. Ingalls, president of the Ms Four. That portion of his remarks regarding the late strike and his plan for solving the labor problem is given b;lov: "Standing hre to-night and listening to the dying echory of the greatest, the most c-A.iseiess and the most unsuccessful strike ever known, we may ask ourselves, as railway managers, why it was that a few worthless demagogues should induce such a large number ot cur employes to neglect their interests, to foraret all the lovaltv and devotion which they owe to the companies that had employed them, and enuge in a conspiracy, which, if it had succeeded, wouid have ruined them and the railways, too. What is the cause of this fcreat dissatisfaction? Is It because our railway systems have got so large that ths sense of loyalty of the employe to the employer is lost? Is it because- it has been o fashionable among politicians and newspapers to abuse railways and Their management? is it because a few men by fortunate speculations have made lare fortunes, an J thereby the public has been led to believe that the railways were making 1cx much prolit? .Somev. here is the answer to tnese questions. Possioiy it will be found in a combination or1 ail, but it behooves us well as managers at this time to consider it carefully and endeavor to find a solution. Tne great strike Just ended is not without its lss3ons. It has taught us tnat no strike can succeed which has no real groun l of grievance, and which public opinion does not support; therefore, we ..iou!d always try to be risht. It has also bad Its pleasant features, for It has taught many oi us tnat ttiere is nothing so valuable as the loyalty and devotion of our employes, thus? w:io stood, by the corporations, wbo served faithfully and well when It involved danger and sacrifice to do so. 1'or the great mass of men who. by tne vvicke-t action or Debs and his followers, luive been made homeless tramps, we have nothing but pity; for the men who loyally Mipportcd tht'ir corporation wc have everything of praise. Hut out of It the wise inan shouivi stek for the cause of th2 evil u:d the cure. If the system of profit-sharing among employes could be adopted I have always believed that it would be a cure for these evils; but before this can be successfully adopted we must secure the profits. There must also b a better feeling buiit up between the railways ami tho immunitits they serve. Tne situation is much Improved now, and It Is not as fashionable as it used to be for newspapers and public todies to abuse railways and their managements, but there are many States nnd communities to-day wnere there exists a feeling of great hostility toward railway corpo rat ions. This is unfortunate, and it Is tre duty of railway managers and of Ktatesmtn to discover wherein lies th trouble and endeavor to cure it. The railway managers themselves are responsiole in many cases and to a great extent for this trouble. They have managed their railways arbitrarily; they have endeavored to mail tain that they were private corporation, and could not be controlled by the public; but that day has gone by. The wise manager to-day has accepted the situation: he tully realizes that a railway corporntinn is not a private partnership; It is a gr?nt public Institution, with public duties to perform, and with responsibilities to th public, and subject In certain ways to public control. Even the interstatecommwe law, which was bitterly opposed by the great majority of the railway managers, ha, been accepted; they all believe it has ccmo to stay, and that it will take tho place of the disjointed legislation of thedifferent States, and out of it future good to the business communities and of the ra 11 u ays can be obtained. Th? great mass of our people are also waking up to the lact thiit, while the railways are public Servants, the people who have Invested tio:r M r--y in them have certain rlgh. which mu-t h. re.-pected. The time has, gone by when the wise statesman Ihin'rk tbat he can make two blades of prass grow wner? bu: cue yrw before by a legislative a- t affctir.g a railway corioration. Tinally. a bettor state of feeling between emjioes and the management, between business communities and the management. fiiouM be built up by association, hy an a. 1 1 mi?:c dating spirit on the part of each." The Southern Ilnllwny Company. Last Saturday the reorganization of the Richmond Terminal system. It U reported, was definitely and formally completed, and the last ot the many properties which, under the plan of reorganization, have lost th:!r unhappy and unfortunate Identities and become merged in a new and propitious enterprise, will be in the possession of the Southern Hallway Company. As a result of the reorganization over thirty corporations, whose affairs and securities wer interlocked in every conceivable way and In almost hopeless confusion, are united in one company. Thirty boards of directors and thirty sets of separate accounts disappear simultaneously. The original plan was dated May 1, 1S33; It was issued on May 23, isaj. the response of the -curity holdtrs was prompt, and by th? middle of June. lS&t, success was assured so far as their co-operation was concerned. The new company is said to be organized under a charter granted by the Legislature of Virginia, supplemented by its conformity to the laws of all the other Stat;s In which It owns property. The reorganization has involved the following sales: The Richmond & West Point Terminal railway, the Warehouse Company, the Jtichmond "t Danville and its lised lines, the Mist Tennessee, Virgina & Georgia, the Charlotte. Columbia & Augusta, the Columbia fc (Jreenville. the Louisville Southern, the Georgia Pacific, the Western North Carolina, th- Oxford & Clarkesvill?. the Northwestern Northern Carolina and the Clarksvlile & North Carolina. Six conveyances were made without foreelonire. namely, the Atlantic. Tennessee & Ohio. th2 Richmond, York River & Chesapeake, the Washington. Ohio & Western, tu Piedmont road, the Stutesville & Western and the Oxford & Henderson. The Cincinnati Southern and the Memphis & Cl arieton were included in th X'l an of reorganization as originally promulgated, but were dropped from the amende 1 plan, as the security holders 'ailed to accept the terms ottered. Th2 Southern company H also expected to control the CSeorKla Central when reorganized. The properties embraced in the organization had bonded and Hoiting d?bts of about Jl'.Unr.- . This is now reduced to a bonded debt of, JW.Of.vo, including sufficient bonds, which are reserved to take up all underlying boniis and all the bonis and stocks of leased railroad. The company will, it is pai i. also issue about $tf.(vUMj more b5n Is during the next two years to purchase additional equipment and improve the prorerties. which will make the total bonded debt of all kinds JI'o.io.mo. The plan of reorganization provides that of. bonds additional, to be strung out through a series of years, may b? issued hereafter only for the further development of property. Another Interesting feature is that. uot-

wlthstanrllng the nominal control of the former Kast Tennessee. Virginia & Ocorgia and Richmond fc Danville systems by the now defunct Terminal company, there was no actual control, and the eorr.pini?3 did not co-operatf .even in the ordinary Interchange of business.

A Question of Differential. When the transcontinental lines meet at Chicago again Wednesday to continue their efforts to reorganize the old association the Santa. Fe may present them with a hard nut to crack in the way of figures showing the absurdity of the claims of any and all of the Northern roads for differentials. Even the differentials of the Canadian Pacific were rever regularly recognized or authorized. They were put into effect by that road without the consent of Its competitors and they are kept in effect because it was not thought worth while in the beginning to fight them. Things have changed greatly in the last thirteen years, however. Then the Northern roads only means of reaching San Francisco was by boat, and that service was very Irregular and uncertain. Now each has good all-rail facilities in addition to regular steamship lmcs from Victoria and Portland and all other important North Pacific coast points. The North Pacific coast has had a big boom since then. In 1S-S0 its population was but 21',8Si. In IS'jO it had increased to Ci.2)9. The population of California in was 1,114.57$. In IStx) it was but 1,903,233. In the interval the Northern lines have been immensely benefited by the establishment of two firstclass transpacific steamship lines. In lsQ the San Francisco or Southern lines took 8o per cent, of the entire transcontinental business and the Northern lines had to be content with 20 per cent, of it. In the decade the Southern lines have lost 20 per cent, and the Northern lines have gained 20. They now carry 40 per cent, of the whole, while the Southern lines carry only 60 ner cent. There are five Southern lines and only four Northern lines. In any pooling .arrangement that might be agreed to the Northern lines could not hope to Increase their present proportions. They might have to give up some. With these facts in view the Santa Fe will claim that whatever differentials may be allowed any of the Northern lines on business to San Francisco must be allowed it on business to Portland and other northern Pacific coast points. It is willing, though, to have the whole matter arbitrated and does not mind how the arbitrators are selected. Ohio Full Cur Work In Luck. A month ago the Pennsylvania Company advertised for bid3 on five hundred freight cars, with the privilege of Increasing the order to one thousand if they desired to do so after the contract was awarded. The Ohio Falls car works was the lucky company to secure the contract, and on Saturday . the Pennsylvania Company increased the order to one thousand cars, five hundred for the Pennsylvania and five hundred for the Pittsburg, Fort Wayne & Chicago. Fourteen car manufactories bid for the work, the Indianapolis car works being of the number. Uidders who competed say that the Ohio Falls car works will lose $13 on every car they build unless '.they have the advantage in some manner over otljer bidders. In tnls connection there is an item of interest. Among the fourteen bidders two attempted, it Is stated, to bribe a olerk of the superintendent of motive power to reveal the bids as offered before the official board of the company awarded the contract. One of the car works proprietors was to place $750 in the hands of a man In one of the hotels at Fort Wayne: another was to place $500 In the hands of another party, and the scheme was In fair way to go through when the stenographer of the railroad company weakened and told his superior officer what had occurred. As a result, one of the vice presidents has given instructions that under no circumstances will either of the two offending car works be allowed to bid on Pennsylvania contracts. Credltnhle Ilnilroart Service. The revised figures show that the Pennsylvania line sold for Chicago,, at the low rates of Saturday last, 5,072 tickets. In the statement yesterday the business at Massachusetts-avenue station was not Included. The noon train took out several hundred and the night train was run in four sections, hauling sixty-two coaches. The remarkable fact about the excursion is that although all trains left late, the first section run into Chicago on time, the second section at 7:42 a. m.. the third at 8:05, and the fourth at 8:30. Returning, the first section reached Indianapolis on time, the second at 3:40 a, m., the third at 4:30 a. m., and the fourth at 4:40. Moving so large a number of people without one receiving a scratch is an item the train officials think worth boasting of. Chicago' Kant-Hound llnnlne. Freight traffic on the Eastern roads seems to be slowly but steadily improving Last week's east-bound shipments from Chicago showed a slight gain over those of the preceding one. as they did over those of it; predecessor. Last week's shipments aggregated 45,057 tons, as compared with 47.1S1 tons for the previous week, and 50.149 tons for the corresponding weeks last year. Lasf. week's shipments were divided up among1 the competing roads in tons as follows: Michigan Central, 5.836: I.ake Shore. 4,900; Panhandle, 5,643; Grand Trunk. 4.652; Erie, 5,601; Wabash. 4.397: Fort Wayne, 5.455; Baltimore & Ohio, 2,936: Nickle-plate, 5,555; Big Four, 2.988. Anxloun to Maintain Kate. A meeting of the general managers of the central traffic associations has been called to meet at Chicago cm Friday. The object of the meeting will be to consider and, if possible, settle the troubles which are now keeping both freight and passenger rates in a state of woeful demoral ization. All the roads profess to be extremely anxious to have rates restored and maintained. They all need revenue badly, and they want to rean the full benefit of the Improvement to business which is noticeable, small though It is. Cnlilwell Succeed Newell. At a meeting of the executive and financial committee of the Lake Shore & Michigan Southern Railroad Company held In New York yesterday, U. W. Caldwell, president and general manager of the Nickel-plate road, was appointed general manager in the place of the late John Newell, president and general manager. No president was appointed, but D. W, Worcester was elected as vice president. G. A. It. Tickets. All restrictions have now been removed' by the Western roads from tickets sold for the Grand Army encampment at Pittsburff. An Iron-clad signature form of ticket will not be used and the return portions will be good for use any day at the convenience of the holder within the final limits of the tkkets. The business in short will be run wide open and the brokers will reap a harvest. IVrMouuI, Local and General Note. Paul Rainer. chief of the Joint Weighing and Inspection Association, is expected home from hi3 vacation to-day. William Daly, general passenger agent of the Lake Erie & Western, returned yesterday from a two weeks' p!easure trip. In the month of August there were transfered over the Belt road 65,-166 cars, against 50.132 in July, an increase of 15,334 cars. O. P. Spillman. chief clerk of Superintendent Zion. returned yesterday from the East after an absence of a couple of weeks. In the month of August the Belt road engines handled at the stockyards 2,602 carloads of live stock, an increase over July of 313 cars. The Schnectady locomotive work3 has ordered some electric locomotive head lights from the National Electric Headlight Company of this city. John D. Patterson, formerly with the Georgia Pacific, has been appointed general yardmaster of the Southern Railway at Atlanta. Those who know him say he is a very efficient railroad man. A. P. Iewis, auditor of the Indianapolis, Decatur & Western, has Ju.n completed his twenty-sixth year in railroad service, twenty-four years of this time being on seme of the In llanapolls roads. The private car of M. E. Incal'.s. president of the BigFour. which was d imaged in the fire at Cincinnati two weeks asr is at the Brightwood shons undergoing repairs and will be out by Saturday. The Indianapolis. Decatur & Western will show for August an lncr?ase in grors earnings over those of August, 1S01. of about fcO. and the increase in net earnings will be proportionately favorable. President Ingalls and party, after going over the Columbus, the Martinsville and the North Vernon branches yesierday, returned to Cincinnati. In a few days Mr. Ingalls will go East for a couple of weeks. One who claims to know the Big Four slate says that it has been decided not to transfer Ford Woods, general freight agent of the Peoria & Eastern, to the Chicago division of the Big Four at Chicago, but to transfer It. P. Buchanan, now assistant general freight aent of the Michigan division of the Big Four, to Chicago. Mr. Buchanan was formerly assistant general

freight agent of the Chicago division, j

will go to the Michigan division. Judge John S. Stacy, of Iowa, one of the attorneys for the Chlcauo Northwestern, was in the city yesterday visiting his son, E. E. Stacy, State secretary of the Young Men's Cnrtstian Association. The Judge went East over the Pennsylvania in the afternoon. Harris Ansley, who ha3 been acting treasurer of the Southern Railway Company since the death of Auditor Hall, was yesterday appointed auditor of the road, with headquarters at Washington, D. C. Mr. An?ley was formerly auditor of the Richmond & Danville Air-line. The Chesapeake & Ohio on Sunday nlpht had IfO passengers for Indianapolis; the train reached Cincinnati too late to be run as No. 5, and a special train was made up to accommodate the belated passengers, many of whom were returning from the Knights of Pythias encampment. At Brightwood two sample stock cars are being constructed, and when completed the one thought to be the besk will be taken as pattern for two hundred car3. The car department of the Chesapeake & Ohio is building a sample car, and that company will soon be in the market for stock cars. Auditor 'McGulre, of the Peoria, Decatur & Evansville, says the money to pay the interest on the road's bonded debt has been In New York for a week, and he does not see how the road can be sold under the circumstances at foreclosure sale, as a telegram from New York Intimates it would be. AMUSEMENTS. EnBllxh. "I'nele Tom Cnbln." Almost everybody has, at some time or another, witnessed a performance of "Uncle Tom's Cabin," yet the old play has a strong hold upon the affections of the public. It is presented In very good style by Davis's company, now at English's Opera House, some of the features being of more than ordinary merit. The company is made up of better material than that usually found in "Uncle Tom" shows, and a consistent and successful effort Is made to give such a production as the piece deserves. Decidedly the best actor in the company Is F. C. Huebner, who plays Phlneas Fletcher and Simon Legree, In these two entirely dissimilar characters Mr. Huebner is equally good, and the cast of "Uncle Tom's Cabin" rarely ever finds such a capable actor in it. The remainder of the company are quite up to and. In several respects, above the average, and the play was given to the entire satisfaction of yesterday's audiences. The specialties of the Jubilee singers, a jig solo by Susie Brown, Little Helen McCabe's songs and dances, Madah Hyers's operatic selections, dancing of the Grundy Brothers, songs by the Magnolia Quartet and buck and wing dancing by four active colored artists are Introduced during the five acts, and are entertaining features of the performance. The Hyers Sisters, who are with the company, are well-known colored vocalists, and one of them has a voice of remarkable range. The two Topsles created much amusement at both performnr.ces yesterday, as did the antics of Iavyer Marks. The production has much In ir that is meritorious. It. will be seen again to-night and to-morrow afternoon and evening. Empire Thenter. If the Empire Theater keeps up the pace all through the season that was set last night by Albini's Empire Stars, the house Will not be capable of holding the audiences. It was intended to open In the afternoon with a matinee performance, but the company was deliyed by a wreck. The feature of the aggregation Is easily Unthan, who is rightly billed as the "armless wonder." A sight of his performance is calculated to make one with the full complement of limbs ashamed of himself. Un than, who couldn't be a horny-handed son of toil if he wished, entertains the spectators by giving- with his toes a violin solj, with trills, rurs and other difficult movements, playing the cornet, shuffling and dealing a pack of cards, all with the ease of a man who has his hands with him. The card and sleight of hand tricks of Albini were perfect In their execution, and as unsolvable as such performances always are. Among the regular vaudeville features were tne comedy skit of Joe Byron and May Blanche; Keating & Lord, whose black-face act Is above the average; Fox & Quigg; O'Brien & Buckley, in an excellent musical melange, and Miss Nellie Magulre In costermonger songs. The "Fun in a Laundry," of Roberta and Doreto is a clever acrobatic performance in Chinese costumes that has been presented to patrons of the Empire before. Eddie Evans's performance with the Indian clubs hi not so much an athletic display as an exhibition of difficult and graceful juggjing. The performance is closed with an exhibition of the feats of strength of Madame Yucca, Mme. Yucca, who is a woman or powerful yet essentially womanly appearance, after juggling a few 112-pound dumbbells and a man or two with the ease that Mary Jane handles a duster concludes her act by lifting clear of the floor a horse weighing more than 1,250 pounds. Park Theater A Kentucky Girl." There were many and vociferous evidences of enthusiasm at the Park last night. The theater had overflowing audiences, both matinee and evening, to welcome Sadie Hasson's return in "A Kentucky Girl." Hundreds were turned away at each performance, all the standing room being exhausted before the curtain went up. The popular actress never had a warmer reception, and, as Charity Jarvis, she showed her admirers that she tried her best to deserve it. The character of this "rougra diamond" of the mountains suits Miss Hasson admirably, and she is given good sunport by her company. There Is sensation almost without limit in the play, which also contains some good comedv situations. The sawmill scene, where the heroine (Charity) in the nick of time saves two persons who are about to be dismembered by a buzz saw, having been bound fast to a log. Is decidedly exciting, and keeps the audience on a nervous strain for some moments. The race on a railroad between Charity on a bicycle and her pursuers on a handcar is made realistic with the aid of a moving panorama in the background. The heroine reaches the drawbridge, which had been turned by the villains, and works It Into place just in time to save a train. These and other scenes are well put cn. the action throughout the piece being well up with its sensational qualities. , The Hasson engagement continues to-day and to-morrow, and the advance sale Indicates a continuation of yesterday's big business. A double comedy bill' will succeed "A Kentucky Girl," beginning Thursday afternoon, w'nen the Hanleys and their comoany will appear in "A Wild Gooso Chase" and '"Squire Haskins." Cleveland MlimtrclN. There has never been a question as to who was and is the firemost all-around minstrel entertainer in the business. Billy Emerson enjoys that distinction, and, after years of absence, will revisit Indianapolis next Thursday and Friday nights a English's Opera House, at the head of Cleveland's Minstrels. Associated with him are Lew Benedict, the Crawford Brothers. Banks Winter and many others. The singing of Winter and his voctllsts is snid to be the sweetest ever heard in minstrelsy. The first-part jokes and songs are guaranteed new, and the olio is well filled with good minstrel specialties. Pcnalons for Veteran.

CHICAGO. Sept. 3. There was a big run of cattle, about 26,000 showing up. Of that number 9,500 came off the ranges. Not many ripe native steers were offered, and although the demand for that grade was not nearly as sharn as that of last week and the preceding one It was strong enough to prevent any further weakening of prices. Common to good native steers sold lower and so did Westerns. The decline In the latter was 10315c, and the former suffered almost as much. There was quiet in all branches of the market, and a good many of the cattle were left in sellers hands. Natives sold principally at $1.7532.75 for cows, heifers and bulls and at $135.25 for steers, with $1.2535.80 the extreme range of quotations. Sales of Westerns were on a basis of $1.5031.63 for very common to extra and Texans were quoted at $1.2533.25. The late market was the worst, from the fact that the receipts largely exceeded the first estimates. There was a' sale of heavy hogs at $6.30. and light weights sold up to $636.10. This Indicates an advance on Saturday's prices of 5310c. The gain In common grades was still more pronounced, scarcely anything that Is fit to come on the market selling below $5.85, and the bulk of the offerings selling alove $5.90. There was a good dema na tor shipments from local packers and the supply was soon closed out. Averages of less than 200 pounds sold principally at $5.9036.05. and from $636.25 were the popular prices for medium and heavy weights. Poor stuff sold at $5.5035.75 and culls at $435. Comparative steadiness was noted of the sheep market. The receipts were moderate and the demand fair at $333.30 for poor to choice. The range of prices for Iambs was $1.503 4.23.

Butler University opens this year somewhat earlier than heretofore, the three terms of the college year having been divided more nearly equal, the last closing on the 31st day of May. The college buildings and grounds have been scenes of busy activity for the past week. In the chapel, new paper has been hung and the platform refitted with chairs and a reading desk. The hug? chandelier which, for years, has filled new students with terror by its ominous trembling at the ringing of the college be.!, has been removed, the electric lights tairing its place. The new Y. M. C. A. Hall could not have been more conveniently situated. It is the room fat the left of the main entrance, formerly used as a museum. The college authorities granted this hall to the Young Men's Christian Association last spring and during the summer the association has had it tastefully papered and carpeted. The young ladies of the Y. W. C. A. have furnished the curtains. On Saturday evening the joint associations will dedicate the hall with a reception. They will be assisted by members of the local Christian Endeavor Society. Another hall which has undergone a change i the Sigma Chi fraternity home, which has been gorgeously frescoed and papered in the pale blue and gold of the fraternity's colors. In the campus the cutting of grass, weeding and clearing of the drives and walks If going on with zeal. At a recent meeting of the committee on college buildings and grounds. It was decided to procure the services of a landscape gardener and to permanently improve the appearance of the campus. As it now stands the campus consists largely of unimproved forest land. During the summer another driven well has been put down in the campus. The only change In the faculty since last year is the appointment of Mis3 Flora Bridges to the English chair, which was but temporarily filled last year. Miss Bridges received a literary diploma at Obenin College, in 1885. afterwards returning and graduating with the classicals in 1887. In the fall of that year she took charge of the Greek department at Mount Holyoke. She was granted the first fellowship ever offered by Oberlii'i to one of her students, also the first master's degree. On receiving the fellowship. Miss Bridges obtained leave of absence for study abroad, and spent a year at the University of Zurich. On returning, she resumed the work at Mount Holyoke College until the year 1892, when she became principal of the ladies' department in Olivet College, Michigan. The regular English course at Butler extends through the four college years. A new elective course in the analysis of orations, meant especially for students who expect to become public speakers and for graduates, has been added to the department. For the flrsu time in the history of the institution a regular department of music has been established. Iuplls who art identified with the university In literary v.ork will be granted a diploma in music upon completion of the curriculum, extending through the two preparatory grades and four college years. The department is under the direction of Mr. J. M. Dungan, of Indianapolis. Besides the usual elective medical work, there Is now a special pre-medlcal course, so arranged as to be completed in two years. The new laboratory in Burgess Hall Is larger and much better equipped than the old one. It has accommodations for forty students, each student being assigned his own desk and separate outfit of apparatus and chemicals. Among the recent additions to the blologlcil laboratory are six Reichert microscopes which, with those on hand, makes a total of fifteen Instruments. Mr. H. L. Bruner, professor of biology and geology, has been spending" the summer in the Rio Grande valley, making zoological and botanical collections. The museum, wh.ch has outgrown Its former quarters in the college building and now occupies the third floor of Burgess Hall, has lately received contributions frccn Phonal, Japan, sent by C. E. Garst, from Jamaica, given by J. C. Smith and M. A. Collins, and from Texas, by E. L. Roberts. Among the voluntary student associations are the local oratorical association and the athlttc association; also literary societies and fraternities. Tne Your.g Men's Christian Association and the Young Women's Christian Association are found to be of greatest benefit to the general atmosphere of the college life. The staff of the Butler Collegian forms an editorial association selected by the university to arry on the college paper. The editor in chief is George W. Hoke, of the senior class. Entrance examinations occur tomorrow. Thursday and Friday will be taken up with registration of students, regular class work commencing Saturday. Sept. 8. Justice to Mrs. Leavltt. To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal: Passing on to other appointments from the dedication of the Indiana W. C. T. U. Hadley Industrial School, I failed to give a careful reading to your report of It until recently, and I hope you will permit a correction, though late. The report fails to mention the dedicatory poem written for the occasion, and by request of the programme committee, by Mrs. Mary A. Leavitt, of Vernon, Ind., and read by her at the afternoon dedicatory services in the grove. This Important and .nuch appreciated part of the programme came, unfortunately, at an hour when out-of-door audiences begin to move, and It was impossible for those remote to understand what was going on. or catch the inspiration of the beautiful pathos and lofty thought contained in the poem, which was intensified by Mrs. Leavitt's very impressive manner of reading It. I ask this -nr-rection for the reason that In the report I am the only person named ns reading an original poem. Another honor you have conferred upon me which I do not claim is that of 'Mrs." In this, however, you are evidently pardonable, and it is only "important that your readers le disabused of the belief that the dedicatory rom wis written by myself. As a member of the prosrammo; committee, at whose solicitation Mrs. Leavitt wrote that poem, and as a member of the board of trustees, I regret that this correction ha ben so long delaved.
