Miss Ellen Smith, win Hpori the larger part of her active life In the University of NobranKn. died yestorday morning at 1:30 at lior home on U street. For thr past year Miss Hmitr. has been 111, but m one believed that tho end was near. The cause of her death probably came from a cancer that developed about one vear and n half ago. An operation wag performed which promised success, but an abscess was the final outcome. In hopes of getting relief, Miss Smith spent a port of last Bummer in Beatrice, where n course of medical treatment was con ducted. Miss Smith was born in a little town in northeastern Ohio, attended Hills dale College, Michigan, and took her bachelor's and master's degrees from that Institution. She was employed at Hillsdale for a time as Instructor and was called to Lincoln by Chancellor Fairfield In 1877. For several years she taught Latin and mathematics In the University. Later she was put in charge of tho library, as attendant. This was before the offices were dif ferentiated and registration was con ducted in the library. When the office of registrar was finally created, in 1882, Miss Smith took charge and faith fully discharged her duties as registrar until about one year ago, when she ro slgned. After her resignation, Bhe was retained in the office as consulting registrar until tho end of last school year. As registrar she was known as "Ma" Smith and was sometimes called unkind, but those who learned to know her found her a true and loving friend. Her unexpected death touches deeply tho sympathy of both the students and alumni of the University, a large num- i bor of whom knew her very well. Miss J Smith had no relatives in Lincoln. Sho leaves a sister and niece In Ohio and a nephew In Chicago. Tho nephew arrived last night and will re move the remains to the old home of the deceased in Ohio. GLEE CLUB TONIGHT.

List of Debaters Who Are to Represent Nebraska. Honors In Interstate debate at the University of Nebraska for 1903 were conferred yesterday afternoon upon the twelve men who will represent the University at Colorado Springs, at Lawrence, Kan., and at Lincoln against Missouri. The competition this year was close and hard, and the com mittee, upon whom devolved the re sponsibility of Judging further after the squad was selected at the prelimin ary debates the first of February, has taken its time In forming it Judgment. During tho three weeks there have been three or four other debates. The three teams are as follows ac cording to the bulletin signed by Pro fesBor Taylor, Professor Ross and Pro fessor Fogg: Nebraska-Colorado College John Columbus Doubt, 1903, University Place; William Frederick Meier. 1903, Lincoln; Ira Ryner, 1903, Cedar Rap ids; John Nathaniel Norton, 1904, Stromsburg. Nebraska-Kansas Emory Roy Buck ner, 1904, Olathe, Kan.; Richard Clin ton James, 1903, Dunbar; Georgo Ar thur Lee, 1903, Humboldt; Guy Melvin Peters, 1904, Albion. Nebraska-Missouri Neil Michael Cronln, 1904, Sutton; Frederick Morris Hunter, 1904, Blue Rapids, Kan.; Bur dette Gibson Lewis, 1904. Omaha; J. C. McReynolda, law '04, Lincoln. Of these twelve only three were on Interstate teams last year. Mr. Lee i was on year before last. The other nine are men untried in tho montnl" and nervous hurly-burly of inter collegiate mental warfare. The three men from last year's vic torious teams have reputations to maintain. Mr. Doubt's well-remembered dissection of the Kasson French treaty in the Kansas debate was a knock-out blow to the genial and worthy sportsmen from Kansas; Mr. Cronln's chart-smashing charge In the Colorado debate the Pike's Peakers will not soon forget; and Mr. Meier's as sertion-crushing onslaught against Missouri made a deep dent in the mule's head. The other men likewise all come to the Interstate honors through the reg ular courses in debate offered by the University. In one or both those courses each of tho new-comers has attracted attention. In regard to the prospects for tho year, Professor Fogg said last night that he was surer that tho teams would get Borne stiff and practical training than he was that they would win in tho Intercollegiate sport episodes of the regular disciplinary work of the year; that on political questions especially there is large uncertainty In the judges, for there Is always difficulty in securing three unprejudiced. Judicially-minded men who are at the same time able rapidly to follow a close, recondite economic argument and .weigh the evi dence accurately. This difficulty is al ready facing the debating board In ar ranging for the Nebraska-Colorado de bate, in which Nebraska maintains that trusts are not Inimical to public wel fare. Notices were posted last evening re questing the Colorado team to meet at 9 o'clock this morning in U. 309, and tho Kansas team at 10:30 o'clock. Defeats City Y. M. C. A. 33 to 20. Second Team Loses.

Dr. Ketchum, Oculist, Richards blk. Glasses fitted and guaranteed. Nebraska maintained her traditional standard by defeating the city Y. M. C. A. basket-ball team last night by tho decisive Bcore of 33 to 20." The game was played In the University armory. Only once were the Chris tians in the lead and that was when Hagenslck made the first score of the game by throwing a foul. The Unl has not played together for two weeks and plainly showed tho lack of prac tice. Besides, it seemed an unlucky evening for them, as time after time the ball would refuse to enter the basket and bound away only to be re turned. Tho team work on both sides was about equal. The game was fast and spirited. The crowd was not as large as was expected, only about eighty being present. The first half ended 20 to 14 in favor of the Uni and in tho Becom. the Y. M. C. A. only made (1 more, while the wearers of the scarlet and cream piled up 13. After Hagenslck had begun the scoring, Benedict started tho good work for Nebraska with a long goal from tho side lino. Hammel threw a goal which did not count. In the mean time Ferguson had added two points for the University. Hlltner fouled and Hagenslck added one point. After sev eral exchanges Elliot found the bas'ket and tho score stood G to 4. The Y. M. C. A. undertook to brace, but Elliot soon followed up with another goal. FerguBon repeated the dose.

Time was called with tho score 20 to 14 In Nebraska's favor. In the second half the Y. M. C. A. showed determination to win, but to no avail. Hagenslck made all the points for his team, throwing one goal and four fouls, whllo every Nebraska man helped increase the score. This half was really a repetition of the first. Benedict threw another long goal from the center of the field, Hewitt threw two fouls. Hlltner and Ferguson one goal and Elliott a goal and three fouls. Between halves the second 'varsity and Y. M. C. A. teams battled for honors. The latter was victorious by a score of 15 to 12. i i.e first half end ed 6 to 4 In favor of the college boys. This 1b the second time the second five has lost to the second Y. M. C. A. In the second half the visitors took a de cided brace and put up a much faster game than at first.

'Phone 176. haul The meeting of the regents of tho University, Monday afternoon, was an Important one, not only from tho Uni versity view point, but also from that of the general public. Tho matter of greatest Importance considered by tho regents referred to tho merging of tho School of Music with tho University proper. Tho committee previously ap pointed to look into tho matter of af filiation reportod, presenting a plan for the purchase of tho School of Music. The plan contemplates securing legisla tive consent to the creation of a float ing debt of not more than $50,000 for a term of ten years. This debt, If this plan Is carried out, will not Increaso the coHt of the University to tho stato, but will be paid from tho anntial In come of the music school, a part of the proceeds being used for salaries of Instructors and running expenses. After the floating debt shall havo boon ro moved, the school will be conducted and maintained as another department of tho University. Tho executive offi cers of the University were Instructed to proceed with tho purchase and to make temporary arrangements for car rying out tho work of the music de partment to tho closo of tho present year. Mr. Wlllard Kimball, It Is un derstood, will continue as manager of the Bchool, but as a salaried official of the University. It Is thought tho merg ing of tho conservatory Into tho Uni versity will give tho school greater op portunities than it has ever had and that under tho influence of Improved conditions it can be made one of tho strongest schools of ILb kind In tho woBt. The merger has mot with no op position and It Is believed the assent of the legislature will be readily ob tained. Besides the proposition to purchase the School of Music, and tho granting of diplomas and the conferring of de grees upon twenty-five seniors, several matters of minor Importance were con sidered by the regents. Dr. F. D. Heald was appointed to fill tho vacancy In tho department of botany occasioned by the resignation of Dr. Metcalf, who has accepted a chair In the University of South Carolina. A leave of absence was granted to Professors Lees and Lyon, who expect to study abroad dur ing tho summer and a part of next year. The titles and professorships of Greek and Lntln were changed to "Greek history and literature" and "Roman history and literature," re spectively. Several appointments were made to tho staff of instruction of the medical department, B. B. Davis being made a member of tho faculty of tho medical college at Omaha. The ques tion referring to greenhouse facilities, which has been agitated considerably at tho University, was taken up and referred to a committee consisting of Regent Ernst, Jt-rofessors Bessey and Emerson, and Acting Superintendent Feo, who will report at the next meet ing of the regents.
