The young ladies of the Midget bas ket ball team are praeticing hard so sis to be able to put up a good game on Charter tiny. The basket ball team composed of girls who hae played only this year. piny against Miss Kpurek's team of the Commercial Ciiion club tomorrow morning at 1(1 o'clock. The girls have organird an indoor baseball team but the objeel of tin. organization is simply auiiiseinent and not science. They played last week and furnished oinuseniont for all so fortunate as to be present. FOt'L'Tll'S. All other "seasons" have their turn, and now that the base ball season is about to dawn upon as, let us see that every one helps to make it another grand success to add to the long list of successes already down on the Uui. calendar for this year. There is no reason in the world why the base bull season of '9S should not be the most successful yet known in our college athletics. We have more material and better material from which to build our team this year before. Forty students, all of whom have played base ball, have given their names to Captain Gordon, and a large number have re ported for training in the cage. All the cranks who are interested in col lege ball like to see the old men out working just as if they were try ing for a place on the team. Of course this is, in a measure, true, for in many eases new men will supersede old men on the team this year, but in years past it was the custom for the new men to train all winter and the old men to start in when the season opened out tl doors. This was a bad way to have things, but nothing could be done to remefly it. Jt is worse than useless to ask Coach Panics what he thinks of his dt partincut and who will make pitch ers, for the only answer ho gives, is "Don't you ever fear about the pitch ers; we will have men with south paws and north paws and cant and west paws and they will all be good." It is quite laughable to see Fred when a large boy enters ihe box to work out. lie will grin all over his face and mention something about the poor catcher. It is the general belief among the boys (lint Fred has several iimls whom he is all puffed up over and is in hopes of developing and laving east with lilm to Milwaukee. Will Choose United States President.. On Friday, February 12, al 7 o'clock in the chapel will occur one of the most interesting events of thin year. It is no leiiM than a mock presidential nominating convention partial put ad in by the four debating clubs of the university- -Maxwell, Deliun, l'alla dian anil Union. The scheme 1m to divide the delegates to this convention among Ihu four clubs thu. giving each club a repre.en tution at about 220 delegate. Thin apportionment Ik divided up umour the stales represented just as is the custom in a real convention. There has been an executive committee chos en by the four clubs and this commit tee will choose a temporary chairman who will open the deliberations of Die convention. There will be committees on rules and platform and the other parapher nalia of a nominating convention. There will be the usual "wrap" over preliminary mutter but aJl Jcads up to the final climax which consists oi the nomination of a president and ice-pienldenl of the l'liiiwi Stale, a. represented by the four club. The print; pal object is familiarize Ihe participant, with ilu actual work ings of a great wum-niuni and U 1 0rn ish prnclic in paili.uiieiitary drill. The scheme hua be u tried with givat success al different eolleges in the wt 1 and the innovation is looked up on with great interest by a large num ber of Ihe University students .LLi:m j;fkf(t Those who it jn ij. g-a,.M 1U)(j walth the eattrfalnment going on bt low, little realize what an cuVii they oflen hae on the performers tlieiu-m-hes. The intlueuce thc, ivrt was it well shown at the banket ball game at Omaha last Friduv evening. When the rnlverslty team went up to that city, Ihe personnel of Ihe team had nol yet been fully decided upon It was a' toss-up between Voder and I'lllsburyas to who should play-center, llnth men were able to put up an on eellent game and the decision was n difficult one. Ulght here Is where tlu gallery eaino In. There were several young ladles In Ihe gallery who were aoqiialnlanoos of toiler. VVhen they saw there was some doubt as to whether he should play they said they would lake their things and go right home If Yoder was not allowed to play. Then, Dr. Hastings, seeing that Yoder was on his mettle, decided In his lavor. The result of the game only confirmed the. wisdom of his decis ion, as Yoder played a star game and the gallery was happy. lleicafler those who wish to play on the team will do well to be as gal lant as Yoder and paok the gallery wllh young lady friends before the game. 1X1)001: HASF.IIAI 1. TONIC.1IT. Thu Varsity baseball team will piny the Pershing Kllles or the Athletic elass in the gymnasium this evening. According to the regular schedule the I'ershings and the baseball men were to play, but considering the condition of his toain, Capt. llaln was unwilling to play tonight, and it has not been exactly decided as to who will play. If the' I'ershings do not. the Athletic team will doubtless play in their place. Other at t met ions in the city kept down the at tendance very materially at the recent game on Wednesday ev ening. As then' is no conflict of at tractions this evening, the students should make an effort to see this in teresting game. DICK COXCKKT POSTPOXl-'D.

The tuition Is si a month, with U'1 cents per month as fees to the servants, this including sleeping apartments, but meals for boarders are olra. "As fooHiindlng Is a wicked cus tom," the regulations say, "after hnv glrls shall advise, eaoh otlier to unbind their feet. At the piesent girls with feet both bound mid unbound shall be admitted, but. after n lapse of a few vears girls with bound feet will not be admitted." The Instruction Is to bo half for eign and half Chinese that is, equal parts of each day are to be devoted to the Chinese language and literature, geography, history, mathematics, and and the modern industrial arts. There Is to be also an advanced course for the study of law, medicine and sur gery, and the sciences, and a normal department for the training of teach ers for slmllnr schools which it is pro posed to establish in other cities of the empire. Tnpils who pass examinations in these departments will lie given diplomas.

The idea has already become popu lar. TIic Shanghai papers say that the school will be immediately tilled with Ihe daughters of mandarins, and must be enlarged shortly iu order to meet the (leuuiuds among people of that elnss for educational opportunities. The disappointment and jealousy of those whose daughters cannot be ac commodated will result iu the establishment-of otlier schools that are less exclusive, and the education of girls is llkelv to become a fashionable fad.
