COLLEGEVILLE ITEMS.

The plastering of the church is progressing slowly but surely. The copper-workers have at last begun to cover the second tower, and soon the entire building will be in the <y. Last Sunday the Junior Literary Society rendered its first public entertainment- The program was well ordered, and the youthful participants acquitted themselves well of their little declamations. The musical numbers were delightful and showed efficient practice work. At the regular bi-weekly meeting of the C. L. S. last Sunday, the spirit of discussion was aroused and everywhere manifest. The passing of an amendment to the constitution was before the house and the members freely expressed their opinions concerning the same. The debate about it has not been completed, and it will be continued at the next rpeeting. Hon. E. P. Honan attended and delivered the second of his parlimentary law lectures. New York City was well represented among the College visitors during the last week: Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Sulzbach, Mr. and Mrs. A. J. Wltzel. Mr. A. Carter, Hammond, and D. Schaler, Benton Harbor, Mich., visited their sons here. Mr. B. Hayes, Ft. Wayne, called on his son Byron and college friends on his way home from an extended southwestern trip. The very disagreable incident on the football field of last Sunday is very much regretted. It is a well attested fact that the low spirit which inspired the cowardly actions of the unruly player are not the prevailing sentiment of the neighboring community; yet expressions dropped before, and during the progress of the -game, were such as would advise circumspection. The college does not wish to sever athletic relations with the city; the faculty, however, does not consider it advisable to permit the college students to enter into games with teams who have no responsible person in charge.
