HAMLINE COLLEGE CHIPS.

The Amphictyon society gave one of the
best public programmes t hat has ever been
rendered by any of the literary societies in
the chapel, Friday evening. Scarcely fault
could be found with it, unless the extreme
length, and perhaps that was necessary to
exhibit to best advantage the different phases
of work done by the society behind closed
doors. While all the umbers on the pro-
gramme were excellent. some are deserving
of especial mention. The Grafton By G. W.
Empey, on 1.-The Perils of immigration" was
we'll written, and delivered with an impas-
stoned earnestness which carried the audi
ence with the speaker The discussion of
the force bill was an exhaustive treatment of
the federal election measure, by c, A. Mccain
and c. r. Empey. From q literary sta nd
point, Mr.. McCanns Grafton was by far the
best effort of the evening, being concise, clear
and logical, and given with force of man
ner which carried conviction. The speech
of the leader Oh the contra was not so
compact, but presented some very forcible
arguments for Democracy. A harangue by
j. NJ. Desnoyer was the cling feature of the
programme from humorous side, and proved
exhaustingly funny The music was excel
lent and the whistling duet. "Mocking Bird,
by n l.. Larson and j NJ Rule, was marvel
Gus and received do uble encore. The fol-
lowing is the programme III full: Chaplains

women.
