COLLEGEVILLE.

The plastering of the church Is progressing rather slowly, but surely. The copper workers hare at last begun their work on the second tower, and the disfiguring scaffolds will now soon be removed. - " Last Sunday the junior literary society gave its first public entertainment. The short program was well arranged and the youthful participants acquitted themselves well of their parts. The musical "'numbers were delightful and well rendered. At the regular bi-weekly meeting of the C. L. S. last Sunday the spirit of discussion was rife to a high degree. The adopting of an amendment to the constitution was the question before the house, and the members were free in the expression of their opinions, pro and con, concerning the matter. The debate on the subject has not been completed, and it will be continued at the next meeting. Hon. E. P. Honan attended, and delivered his second parliamentary law lecture. Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Sulzbach, Mr. and Mrs. A. J. Witzel were New York City visitors at the college during the last week. A. Carter, of Hammond, and D. Shaier, of Benton Harbor, Mich., visited their sons Tuesday afternoon. B. . Hayes, of Ft. Wayne, called on his son, Byron, and college friends on his way home from an extended trip to the southwest. The very disagreeable incident on the football field of last Sunday is very much regretted. It is a well attested fact that the low spirit that inspired the cowardly actions of the unruly player are not the prevailing sentiment of the neighboring community; yet expressions dropped beforehand during the progress of the game, were such as to advise circumspection. The college does not wish to sever athletic relations with the city; the faculty, however, does not consider it advisable to further permit the college students to enter into games with teams that have no responsible person in charge.
