Theie are lots of ("lilngs besides gold and silver to make money of. We can utilize copper. Iron, /.Inc and finally paper. This thing that philosophers, political economists and those Impracticable college professors dial the Intensely practical Mr. Sibley holds in such contempt, have been striking for all these ysars is after all a mere matter of mint or mill capacity. With the right kind of coinage facilities or paper factories, prosperity can he produced by the barrel or the mile and distributed among the people free. Mr. Sibley should have come sooner.

Sudden Death uf Mrs. Weaver. As the shades of night were falling upon the earth last Friday evening the city was shocked by the rapidly spreading information that Mrs. Weave, wife of Prof. James R. Weaver was dead. Her decease occured at six o’clock from the effects of a surgical operation for cancer of the breast, performed by Dr. Dunning, of Indianapolis, assisted by local surgeons. The operation was finished at noon and the patient rallied from the effects of the anaesthetics but succumbed to the shock. Mrs. Weaver was a native of this city and a daughter of Bishop Matthew Simpson. She was a lady of fine accomplishments, lovely in person and lovable in character and her death

Purine his absence Mr. Meade, of tlie senior class has cliaree of part of ills classes, and Mr. Andrews haa charpe of Miss Weaver's classes. Great interest is now being created in athletics,—football especially. Tlie prospects for a witinning team were never better. Kverv day from iwenty-five lo thirty men are seen practicing on the campus. There is more real football spirit existing among the students this year titan for aev- j eral years past. Tlie team will be composed of experienced players and no doubt some of tlie disgraceful defeats of last year will be retrieved by a team that means to win. Tlie captain h- s forbidden all profanity on tlie ball field, no men wifi lie allowed to play except bnnafide students, and everything will be conducted in a decent and orderly manner. DePauw expects to have a football team which will be an honor to tlie University and a pride to tlie city. Give the boys a kindly won! and show them that you are interested in their success. Monday al Lynch's Bark the first game of the season will;be played with tlie Kentucky Slate University. Tlie new Athletic Park will soon be completed. For tlie pact two or three weeks, from ten to twelve teams have been busily at work grading and clearing tlie plot of ground purchased by the committee. An elegant, commodious grand stand will be built immediately, and our athletic teams will be relieved of tlie excessive charges for the use of tlie park west of town. Tlie new park will be dedicated Nov. 2'id with a foot ball game between DePauw and Wa-
bash college.

Harper's Weekly.
The claim of the dally press that It sets forth the news In the order of its importance does not seem to be sustained by Its method of treating the news from the colleges, t ivermuch prominence, perhaps, Is given to the news of a game of football between two j colleges, which is an event of Importance, but not of the highest Importance. But no nttentldn whatever Is paid to the opening of collegiate year, to tlie conditions under which tIn* vast collegiate system of this country resumes Its serious work of education and of
progress.
It would hardly he an exaggeration to say that the opening of the collegiate year Is a more Important event than the opening of a session of Congress. The growth of the American colleges In numbers and wealth during the past thirty years has been one of the great facto In our history. It has been accompanied by a corresponding Increase In the influence ot a collegiate life on politics and society. No other Institution—religions, political, or social—has grown as the college has; It is fortunate to reflect that Ms influ-
ence has been wholly heneflclal.
It was at the beginning of what may he called the present era that the late Horace Greeley appealed to a broad prejudice when he said, “Of all horned cattle, deliver me from a college graduate.” It any such prejudice still survives. It does not show Itself ill so boastful a form. Any expression of contempt, for education Is now treated as a defiance of common-sense. The college education of this country lias vindicated Itself by the service It has rendered to Ihe cause of good government. The college influence has been clearly discernible In every movement to remedy the evils ond abuses

Bohemian Monthly, Cincinnati. A dainty symphony In white and gold Is the volume of “College Rhymes" by Herlha S. Farrow, and the contents are worthy their covering. MBs Farrow’s work shows that she is her own m *st merciless critic. She constantly strives for perfection In her art. Hhe endeavors tomakcench latereflort more worthy than Its predecessor. Unlike most young writers, she lias excluded her cruder work from her flrsl collection. Hhe appreciates the technique that many of our modern poets affect to despise. In her opinion, crudeness may be a sign of genius, but Is more apt to Indicate laziness. Hhe Is satisfied with nothing short of the very host results that can be attained by earnest eflort and conscientious care. She believes in genius, but she also believes In hard work. She feels how divine Is the gift of song, and the knowledge of her powee Alls and thrills her iMdug. Not the least attractive feature of this book Is the portrattof t be cliarin I ng author which adorns its pages, in tne person of Miss Farrow Is found a rare comulnnllon of beauty and
brains.

Hardly less Important is the question of reform in the methods of municipal government, which Is now occupying the attention of good citizens tn all of our large cities, and which finds its most willing recruits, as well as Its most efficient leaders, in the ranks of collegians. The anunl game of football or the athletic meeting is not the Important event In the college record. It Is perhaps of less importance t ban t he story of any ot her day in the year. The real life of the college, the retd meaning and value of that vast and magnificent array of learned endowments in this country, the small ones as well as the great ones, can be understood only hy those who look more deeply Into the subject than do some of the editors of the daily papers.
