Among recent visitors who have made
addressee at chapel - are Prof. McCray,
dean of the department of botany, State
university of Iowa,' Iowa City; Prof. Henry
B. Ward, dean of the medical department
of tha Nebraska, university, Lincoln, Neb.;
Re. Oeorge E. Ledd, pastor of the Con
gregational choroh. Red Oak, la.) Mr. Gil
bert McClurg, the popular lecturer, and
Captain E. T. Sheldon of Twenty-ninth
Iowa. ' (
Xhirtng chapel on the Wednesday before
day of prayer for colleges, a chance re
mark revealed the fact that Prof. Henry
B. Ward and Rev. Oeorge E. Ladd were
alumni of Wllllama college. Their meet
ing brought out aa beautiful an exh!M
tlon of college spirit as one often aeea.
One moment strangers, tha next minute
alumni cordially grasping hands. It
brought "down the house." ,v
A unique and remarkable address waa
given on Llncoln'a birthday by Mr. E. T.
Sheldon of Manchester, 8. D., captain of
the Twenty-ninth Iowa Infantry. Tabor
was. John Brown's rendesvoUs, hie last
rallying place before1 setting out to make
Kanaas free soil; hla refuge upon return.
The old hero apent much of his time In
this community, where hla house atltl
stands. He went direct from Tabor to Har
per's Ferry. Captain Sheldon gave an ex
ceedingly tntereatlng account of John
Brown, hla personal appearance, his strat
egy as a military leader, his bigness and
klndneas of heart, and hla love for human
ity. The captain waa conductor on the first
underground railway, whose southern
terminus waa Tabor and whose northern
terminus waa Canada and freedom. In the
course of his addreta he gave a vivid ac
count of conducting a company of five
escaping alaves northward; the capture of
the entire party by southerners and their
Sympathisers; their trial and the escape of
the negroes, and their conveyance, to a
stfmire -place' by Ta bo rites. Few men are
yet living who can tell such a story and our
students learned much history that day at
first hand".
Among the social events of the term have
been the reception to the student body by
the faculty; a formal reception by the
aentor olaaa to faculty, local trustees, resi
dent alumni and students of the college de
partment; an Informal gathering ' of the
orchestra with Miss Marquis, head of the
conservatory, as hostess, and the usual
number of claaa parties.
The conservatory la furnishing the usual
number of delightful musical attractions.
They are already at work on special music
for commencement week. The pipe organ,
which waa ruined last summer by a storm
which unroofed the meeting house, Is to be
replaoed Immediately by a new one, which
la to be Installed In time for the closing
events of tha college year. At a meeting
held recently about $2,600 waa reported aa
pledged, a considerable portion of which
baa been paid In. The cost of the Instru
ment will be much more, but the commit
tee Is confident that additional pledges can
be secured. ,

Growth of tfatre Dame.
While the great state universities still
continue to draw students In large numbers
a curious fact is brought out by the con
tinual growth of the University ot Notre
Dame, tnd. At Notre Dame they undertake
to account for atudenta twenty-four hours
In the day, and while the discipline aims at
reasonable liberty to the student. It also
undertakes to stand In the place ot the
parent and to exact an account for actions
or omissions that seem to require explana
tions. The fact that Notre Dame la crowded
to Ita utmoat capacity, that it draws its
patrona from every tstae and territory lh
the union and Includes at least aeventy-flve
students from foreign countries, notably
Central and South America, and the further
fact that Protestants and Jews are num
bercd in the student body, as well as Catho
.lies, goes to prove that . students of all
schools of thought consider a reasonable
discipline In colleges a necessary part of
the young man's experience. It seems to be
understood that where the social relaxation
of young men la kept under control the re
sults In claaa work are alwaye superior.
President Cavanaugh of the university haa
decided to Issue a call to all the living
graduates to assemble at Notre Dame at
the commencement this year for the organ'
lzatlon of the alumni. No university ot
equal atxe has attempted to get along with
out organised alumni associations. It Is
expected that at least 1,000 men will as
semble In answer to President Cavanaugh'a
call.

Chief of Police ' Donahue, to the captains
and officers' of the police department bf
this city, la to be commended, not onlv
by the many colored citizens of this city,
but should receive due consideration from
every law abiding citizen In this commun
ity. The chief clearly and forcibly demon
strates that sympathy even for a brother
officer untimely and cruelly murdered
which every good citizen I know deplores
should not lake precedence of duty and
right I desire to state further that the
colored people In thla Community condone
no such rash deed or act of any criminal
of their race and will at all times assist
the law In Ita course. I know I voice tho
sentiments of a vast majority of our peo
ple when I atate that we are proud that we
have a chief of police of our city, and many
other good citizens ot this community who
can and will draw a line of dcmarkatlon
between the good people of our race and
the bad criminal class and we aa a people-
appreciate the courtesy. ,

Now that the time for coasting and other "Winter Sports
is at hand, we want to speak a word of WARNING with
particular reference to COASTING.
On all streets on which there are street car tracks and
on all hills which cross or terminate on streetsMiaving street
car tracks there is CONSTANT DANGER to those indulg
ing in the exhilarating sport of coasting.
Men and Women, as well as boys and girls, have lost
their lives or have been seHously- injured by dashing into
moving or standing cars on their sleds or travelers.
PARENTS: Why jeopardze the lives of your children
by allowing them to coast where the hazard is so great, when
there are so many places in this city of hills where this sport
may be indulged in with perfect safety!

is absolutely no possibility of their being ,
destroyed by fire.
