THE HESPERIA N . Sundays free. To come up here Sunday afternoons and open the building and wait to close it again would break in badly on any arrngements forspending Sunday. It would seem that the girls could get some other place in which to meet and we hope that they will see the justice of Carpenter's clafms and do so. The University nine, on Saturday 21, played the Journal nine a game of ball. The Univcisity nine was composed o' Stephens and Bigelow, and the Journal nine of two prOfes. sionals, two darkeys, and a hired all-round man. At the end of the sixth inning, Stephens asked them if they had enough, and they thought they had. The score then vas31tO3ln favor of the University nine. Of the three scores made by the Journal a darkey made two and was paid a dollar there for. "Base ball is a fake anyhow." A branch of the White Cross League has been formed in the University. This may be all right, but it strikes us that this perpetual taking of pledges and giving of promises for the keeping out of the devil's clutches, is getting to be a chestnut. The true man, the man who has genuine materia in his moral constitution, is abundantly able to take care of himself without making promises. Anyone who Ins not the strength of mind or moral courage to do what is right with out a pledge, will not have the honor to keep a pledge, and hence will not be benefited one whit by all the White Cross organizations under heaven. The Seniors held a meeting at Miss Ellen Smith's Satur day eve, April 21. A very agreeable time is reported. About 11 o'clock ye local editor went down to see what he could sec. They were then out in the yard and by their yell ing he was led to believe that they were playing "pom-pom-pull away." Wishing to note the effect upon the populace he went around the block. There were lights in all the win dows and the anxious look upon the faces of the watchers within reminded him of the tenor and determination por trayed on the faces of the lonely frontiersman at the Indian attack of which ye editor has so often read in the dime novel. On U street, before three houses, men were walking guard with shot guns, and on the corner of Thirteenth and U streets three men were wildly scraping two fiddles and compressing an accordion to drown the Seniors' yells, if possible. The program of Arbor Day was full and was completely carried out (on a shutter.) The first performance began at 8:30 a$m. by a mob of first preps raiding the penitential y. At 9 a second crowd of nondescripts, wishing to beat the record raided the asylum. It was rumored that they all returned, but we have no certain proofs of that fact. At 9:30 when the atmosphere had thus been cleared the Sophs planted a scrawny little weed called a tree, and the Seniors erected a monument to the defunct 'Sgers and adorned them selves with befitting crape. At 10:30 the above shock took effect and the Juniors, coming to life, burned the said monu ment. From this time until 1 p. m., when the crowds returned from the "pen" and asylum, there was peace in Warsaw. At 1:30 the battalion fell in and marched down to Ninth and V, where the procession was formed. When the procession arrived at the University the speaking commenced; the corner stone of the Grant Memorial Hall having been anointed with corn and oil was duly laid; the governor spoke; the drunkard behind the wall came in on time with his revol ver, which was taken away, and the coeds, chattering and laughing, surpassed their record in effectually preventing a soul from hearing a word. The speaking being through, the artillery detachments, after the customary (breaks, fired a national salute of twenty-one guns. The Juniors left for Roca, and in the evening the Sophs danced at the Hotel Ideal. The Seniors appointed a committee to steal the Junior carriages at Roca; said committee, however, published the fact in the papers and stayed at home.
