Cnnflold linn Ilccomc ( Jrny mid Stout nt Columliln AivnrilliiK ot Lincoln Cnrnlvnl 1'rlicn for Continued. LINCOLN , Sept. 24. ( Special. ) Acting Chancellor Desscy has made a change In the ayatem ot conferring degrees at the Sin to university , the number to be conferred being reduced to one In each college. "It has been the practice In the univer sity to give two degrees to the graduates of the four-year courses , " said Chancellor Bessey In explaining the change. "All graduates ot the college of literature , science and arts receive the degrco of bachelor ot arts and all graduated ot the Industrial col lege receive the degree ot bachelor ot science. By referring to the university cal endar it will bo seen that the first named college Includes twenty groups ot study , but with all the differences thus provided for , every graduate ot ( ho college receives the degree of bachelor of arts. The university has reduced 1(0 ( degrees to ono In each col lege. The college ot law has Its own degree and when the college of medicine Is estab lished It will have a degree of Its own also , The university has endeavored to make the two degrees ot equal value , that Is , the entrance requirements are as nearly equal aa possible and the amount of work to be done after entrance is made as severe in one case as In the other. Iloth DcRrcF * of Kq.nnl Value. "That the degrees are held by the uni versity authorities as of equal culture value Is indicated by the fact that the faculty of the graduate school admit bacholora of sclchco as equally eligible with the bachelors ot arts , to the degrco of master of arts. It li Impossible at the present time to make the degrees B. A. and B. Sc. Indicate pre cisely the shade of training ot the bearer. I might add that not only are the eolonco men eligible to the second degree ot arts , but that they are eligible also to the de gree ot doctor of philosophy , a dcgreo by the way , which wo are very chary In bestow ing. " The second week of the university since classes were .organized will open tomor row with a still Increasing attendance. The enrollment has nearly reached 2,000 , and the Indications point to a total ot 2,200 before the end of the first semester. P. A.

A | PLAYED BALL IN DOST STORM Armours Defeat Himmonds bj a Single Bun in Sunday's Game , SMALL CROWD BRAVES THE ELEMENTS lint Sicc < nforn net Their Money' * Worth In \olny Untlmalnam TcnntH Vic with Knelt Other IJrror Column. With the wind blowing a hurricane and1 the entire diamond enveloped In a blinding dust storm the Armours defeated the Ham-j raonds In Sunday afternoon's ball game at Nonpareil park , the score being 13 to 12. Owing to the unfavorable condition ot the weather thcro were none occupying the grandstand except most ardent devotees of the national game and It was a rlp-roarlng' ' snorter of an affair from beginning to ond.j The crowd was noisily enthusiastic and braved the dust storm until the final inning was played , Thcro was nothing remarkable about the game. It was a scries of rank errors on the part of both teams , but these were al most excusable because of the wind and the dust. The Hammonds played with a vim , as they wcro especially anxious to defeat their opponents acknowledged to bo the leaders among the amateur local teams. K looked for'a time as though their hopes were to be realized. In the first Inning Welch chalked up the first tally and this wae followed by five moro In the second. The Armours scored three runs In the first Inning and got no moro until the fourth , and the Hammonds led until the seventh , when the score was evened up. In the eighth Johnson walked across the homo plate after a fleet exhibi tion ot base running and made the deciding score. On account of the high wind fielding -was well-nigh Impossible and the batsmen who could line a fly out Into right field were almost assured a homo run. Three times In the seventh Inning did the Hammond hams swat the sphere out In that neck-o'- tho-woods and aa many times did they circle the bases and cross the home plate. The Armours played a listless game , and With ers , the pitcher , got the sulks two or three times and threatened to quit the game , once going so far as to leave the diamond. Ono of the features , and about the only one worth mentioning , was the excellent man ner In which Reed covered the middle field for the Hammonds. His fielding reminded one of the work always done by "Old Hoss" Jellon of ; the Originals , and twice he made two pretty running catches. The score : AIIMOURS. HAMMONDS. U.H.O.A.E. H.H.O.A.E.

" NATIONAL CIVIC FEDERATION Chicago OrRntilrntlon KnconraRrd hy Work It linn Done Takm Initia tive tor Antlnnnl FeilcrnUmi. CHICAGO. III. , Sept , 24. The executive commlttco of the Civic federation of Chicago cage has authorized Its president , Frank lin H , Head , to appoint n , commlttco ot twenty-nvo to organize n National Clvlo federation , this committee to bo composed of men representing different sections cf the country and different phaecs of scclal , eco nomic and political questions of the day , The object ot s-uch nn organization la elated to bo to provide for a thorough dis cussion and consideration ot qucstkns ot na tional Import effecting either the foreign or domestic policy of the United States ; to aid In the crystallzatlon ot the most enlightened public Bontlmcnt In the country In respect thereto , and to promote ncccanry legislation In accordance therewith. The leaders of the Chicago federation kavo contemplated this move for some time , deeming It essential If a national work wore to become Anything moro than educational. In January , 1898 , the Chicago Civic federa tion called a national conference on primary elections nnd municipal reform , which was held In Now York and wag attended by rep resentatives of over forty of the largest cities ot the United States' . The Impetus given by this confcirenco to primary election reform agitation resulted In both Now York and Illinois securing now laws at the follow ing sessions of their respective legislatures. But beyond this and the publication and distribution of proceedings the Chicago fcd- oratlon has found It Impracticable to go. In August , 1S9S , It called at Saratoga a na tional conference on the foreign policy of the United States , which , after two days' of an imated debate by leading men ot nil parties , unanimously agreed upon some broad general - oral principles which called for further effort to render It of 'permanent ' value to the country. This work could not bo fol lowed up by the Chicago organization. The four days' trust conference recently held In Chicago was not expected to agree upon general principles , but It % \n ? bc- llovod the free discussion by representatives ot so many schools of thought would furnish material and basla for a moro thorough work hereafter. It Is to make It possible to fol low up the practical llnea suggested by the conference that the National Clvlo federa tion is projected.
