A letter from Ann Arbor says the
University will this year have between
300 and 2,2O0 students, the register
showing n large increase of students over
that of last year. There j. a gain in
every department in the University but
one. and that one is holding its own. The
great gains are in the law and literary de-
partments. The law department espec-
tally is making a splendid showing For
the last few years the numbers in the law
school have been steadily increasing. In
1854 the number in that department was
263; in 1885, 2S6; in 1856, 33S; in 1887,
81; and in 1883 it was 405. The last
year was as prosperous year as the law
school ever had, but this year far sur
passes 1t. Among the newcomers are men
College law school, the law school of the
University of Pennsylvania, the Chic 90
law school, and the law school of the
University of Iowa.
The sixteenth annual meeting of the

"A correspondent at Lansing writes
that during the last days of the legisla-
tive session new liquor law was passed
which increased the tax from $500 to
$500. 1t is now discovered that grave
error or something worse has been made.
Two conference committees were appoint
ed by the House and each committee
made report, both of which were printed
in full in the legislative journal on the
same day. The House conference COM
mittee's report was adopted by both the
House and Senate and the bill ordered
engrossed and enrolled but whoever pre-
pared the copy for The engrossing and
tuIOlhuS Clelh Cllpptu lIOlu the leglsla-
tive journal section 3 of the Senate
amended bill, instead of section as rec
commended by the second conference
committee, adopted by the House and
concurred in by the Senate, and this sec
ton, which was not adopted by the Leg
islature, and omits the restrictions upon
druggists, appears as portion of the law
signed by the Governor and the officials
of both houses, while the section which
was adopted and which placed restric-
tions upon the druggists was left out of
the law. The result of this error will be
that the new law will be imperative and
the old liquor law of Michigan will re-
main in force.
