THE STATE NoRMAL.

Opening of the FAN Term of the sevsn-
teenth Year.
The opening of the State Normal is
ever a matter OF pleasurable interest to
the people of Emporia, and the annual
return OF the students after their sum-
mer vacation is one of the events of the
year which is always looked forward to
with sense of agreeable anticipation.
The closing of the institution at the
completion of the work of the year is
attended by feeling of loneliness and an
air of desOlation about the building and
grounds that is only dispelled when
September again brings the seekers for
knowledge back to the institution which
is every year becoming dearer to the
hearts of the people of this community.
A visit TO the Normal to day revealed
a scene OF activity that was truly de-
lightful to contemplate. President Tay-
lor was kept busy at his Office receiving
visitors from many different sections of
Kansas, and the applicants for admis-
sion which have presented themselves
to-day will number at least 125. The
attention of the faculty was given IN.
til Wednesday to the examination
of students and the organization
of classes, and no recita'ions
were heard until that time. The
present indications are that the atten-
dance at the opening call will be larger
than that of any year in the history OF
the institution. and The observing visi-
tor to the Normal Monday could not bul
feel gratIfied as he noted the Intelligent
faces and excellent personnel of the ne "
students.
In Miss CrIchton's department, W.

Kuhlman opened her Kindergarten with
an attendance of %. In these room.
everything seemed to be already work
ing smoothly, and teachers and pupils
looked bright and happy.
The library we found IN charge o

the Normal last year and has been em.

department. AS one of the faculty per
tinently observed this. morning, thi
place begins to look now as If 1t belong

the addition of several handsome booE
cases and reading desks render it ez

The foundation Of the new" Christian
church Il about comple.ed. and is one OF
the SAndsomsst pieSes OF masonry ever
constructed in this city. It is of the
most substantial character and At once
compAsses the ends Of taste and durabil-
ity. The plans and elevations Of the
new edifice indicate that the supersiruc-
ture will bear out the promise OF The
stone work, and that the church will be,
when finished, an ornament TO the city.
To accomplish this end will require
more means than the soliolting commit,

and it Is to remind the people Of the
claims which Ihis old and substantial
congTegauOnhave on the community thai

wooden ediice, as is well known by the
early settlers here, served In years gone
by as a place OF meeting for many diff

NEXT WEEKS EVENTS.
a Series of Good Things, Embracing a
Weeks Trip Without q Parallel
Summer

Weeks Trip Without Parallel
In Summer Excursions.
The interest in the grand series OF ex-
cursions over the B. s. o. to Baltimore,
Washington, Harper's Ferry, Luray
Cavcrns, Old Point Comfort, Fortress
Monroe, Mount Vernon, ETC.. increases
as the time draws near. Certainly no
such attractive program has been of
fered by any great railway line for
years. There is almost no end TO the
enjoyment provided. OF course Balti-
more Will be the base of operations, all
the special trips named being from the
Oriole city. The B. s. O.'s tickets will
be good to Baltimore, and sold at the
half rate, that is to say, one regular
fare for the round trip. Once in Baiti-
more, the excursionist may enjoy him
self at will. If he concludest to 90 on all
the special excursions he does SO and
pays accordingly. If only part of them,
then he pays for those and no more. If
none Of them, then he pays for none.
This certainly is the only fair basis
upon which such series of excursions
could be arranged, and must meet the
endorsement Of all interested. Wash
ington is but forty miles from Balti-
more, the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
| running trains between the two cities IN
| in the lightning time of fifty minutes.
The fare for the round trip will be only
dollar and twenty cents. Baltimore is
already getting into her holiday attire !;
stands are going up everywhere, and as
for lluminatlons and the general
lighting of the streets moth
ing like il was ever be-
fore attempted on the continent. The
idea Of making the affair a Summer
/ Nights Carnival was capital one, as
not only are effects gained at night of q
most novel character, but time is given
Iduring the day for excursionists TO visit
points of interest within and about the
city. The scene in the harhoE on thf
