Wm. B. Chilcote is afflicted with' a cancer on his right temple which is giving him considerable trouble.

The ladies of the Eastern Star gave a moving picture show at the Princess Theatre Thursday night to assist in the payment of a piano they purchased recently.

HALTS ADDRESS OF DR. JORDAN

DAVID STARR JORDAN.

France show the effect of their bloodItained ’battlefields. France by her own confession is a weak and decadent nation ” The statement was made with emphasis and Professor Jordan paused a moment to give at added, force. During the intensity there was a scraping of a chair heard on the back row of the platform, and in the next instant Professor Fculet appeared at the front of the stage with his face scarlet and visibly much agitated. Turing squarely in front cf the speaker, the professor raised his hand ominously and virtually yelling in his anger, screamed: "It is not so; France ie not decadent." There was a moment of suspense and then a murmur of various expressions. Professor Fouiet bowed low tc President Jordan, and then walked down the steps of the stage with great dignity and out of the building. Dr. Jordan was as surprised as was the audience and very much embarrassed He made a motion as if to ask for order, and then said: “If there are no more interruption* 1 will continue." Thera was intense silence after that until the speaker concluded his address. The incident, however, had the effect of throwing a damper upon ail the exercises, and the Californian, as well as M. Carey Thomas, president of the college, was plainly ill at ease.

The game by strong arm methods Without reproof they play, And for a little season The victor has his day. The revolution microbe Msst have Its little way. Thair Reasons. “Why will those two men drink so?" “Well, Brown does it to drown his sorrows.” “Well, what’s the reason with WH■on?

ORDERED HOME.

I have heard the bullets whistle, I have seen the bolo kill, I have heard the war tribes chanting from their outposts on the hill, I know the plagae -mell of Manila and the Chino's wily way, And what it means to be a soldier here for 'SO cents a day, But my heart is sad and weary, and I wish some one would say, “There’s a transport in the harbor, and your ordered home to-day." I’ve seen the Moro in the palm grove, murder shining in his eye; Heard my “bunkie" calling “mother” as he’s lying down to uie; Seen the fateful mark o “Black Death” on the man just gone along; Felt tne hot breath of a leper In a panic-stricken throng. So the “Wanderlust” has left me, and I wish that I com- say, “There’s a transport In the harbor, and your ordered home to-day.” I have seen the Pasig boatman in his casco floating by. And the muddy, reeking waters where the Spanish warships lie; I have slept in running rivers, I’ve hiked up burning hills, I have sat, and shook and shivered with the fever and the chills. AH- the Oriental jewels for these simple words I'd pay: “There’s a transport in the harbor, and your ordered home to-day.” Hark! I hear the siren moaning out beyond Corregidor! It’s a gray old army troopship coming from the homeland shore, And It’s calling, softly calling me, to come across the sea, Where a mother and a sweatheart long and look and wait for me; And my soldier days are over, and I need no longer stay—- " There's a transport in the harbor, and I'm ordered home to-day!"
