; aPoPULAR LHcTURE COURSE.


 Opening of Series of Lectures by a
 Distingui Professor This Even-
 ing-Much Interest Excited.
 The cause of the great interest in the course of lectures to be opened at 8 o'clock this evening by Professor William R. Har- per of Yale university in the First Metho- dist Episcopal church chapel in this city is three-fold-the distinguished reputation of the lecturer, the interesting theme to be considered and the fact that should Pro- lessor Harper. accept the very fattering call to the presidency of, the new Chicago university this would be the last opportu- nifty the New Haven public would have of
 hearing him in series of popular lectures and upon general subject embracing top
 ics upon which this greatest of modern Old Testament scholars has given his best
 thought and research. ''The Early History and Institutions of | the Hebrew People" is the more compre- | hensive subject of all the lectures. This
 general topic is sub divided by lectures as | follows:
 | 1. The Old Testament Account of the Creation what the writer meant to say, and why. 2. The Garden of Eden, the Temptation and the 8. Cain and Abel; the Beginnings of Civiliza tion; the Long Ages of the Patriarchs. I. The Story of the Deluge. l 5. The Confusion of Tongues and the Settle ment of the Nations 6. Abraham. z. Isaac. 8. Jacob and Joseph. 9. Israel in Egypt. | 10. The Plagues and the Exodus | Il. The Forty Years in the Wilderness; the Mo saic Legislation.
 12. The Conquest of Canaan and the Period oi the Judges. The first topic named forms the subject | of this evenings lecture and will no doubt | excite more general interest than any othe, | in the course The fee for the entire course is a merely | nominal one. Those not having previously l obtained tickets at the bookstores may SC
 cure them this evening before the lecture l at the door,

 men Debate.
 Tonight at the auction sale of boxes and seats for the promenade, at 176 LY- ceum, there will be the first symptoms of the excitement which always accompanies the "Prom." week at Yale. There is little doubt but the spirit of competition will be aroused to fully as high point as in the past few years, when the boxes favorably located were bid off at fabulous prices It is customary each year to believe that this so cial event will prove just even little more of a success than the one given by the class of the preceding year. This rule has always been in-
 variable and there is no reason to doubt that 92's
 "Prom. " will prove the grandest event of the
 kind ever given at Yale. The committee has
 been indefatigable in it's efforts to make the af-
 fair a success, and even had a thought to pro-
 vide places for the accommodation of guests nere during the week. For many years the New Haven house has been the principal haven of
 refuge for these visitors, but at the present time not only expensive but oftentimes impossible to obtain. With this in mind the committee has prepared long list of places where rooms may De obtained for the week in the neighborhood of the campus

 BuLKELEY INVITES FEM ALL TO DINNER AT
 ..s THE CLUB.
 Governor Bulkley although very firm and determined in his manner as regards the state's offices, was exceedingly gentle manly and ended up by inviting all of the senate's newly elected officers to come over to the club and have 8 good dinner with him. It is needless to say that they all had important engage ments elsewhere.
 | MORE TO FOLLOW. .--
 This ended up the afternoons lively proceedings, but authority has it that 1 there is more to follow and that the next | move of the democrats will be in the form of ''quo warranto" to compel the present state officers to show cause why they still hold the offices. This will probably be re- | turned before the courts of New Haven, where the question will immediately be de- | cided as to whether it is a matter for the courts to decide or not.

 The organization of L. s. O. held it's an- nual reunion last evening at DeibeTs. The call to order was given through the silver speaking trumpet by c. A. Baldwin at 6:45. Plates were set for twenty (the num- Der expecteD in the front parlor upstairs. The following gentlemen were present: Assessor c. A. Baldwin, G. R. Bill, Ellery Camp, George H. Coe, Professor B. Jep- son, H. T. Mix. c. s. Morehouse, Lennon Northrop, J. J. Osborn, Judge Rufus S. Pickett, Benjamin Rawlin, Frank Seward and Hon. N. D. Sperry of New Haven; H. J. Boardman of Asheville, N. O., Colonel B. s. Pardee of Baltimore, William B. Parkinson of New York and Nelson Stowe of Chicago. The most impressive feature of the evening was the drinking of the toast ''To the Survivors of L. s. o." which, as had been previously agreed upon, was to take place exactly at 9 o'clock, standard time, in all parts of the United States, and which was alluded to by all correspondents. The moment was one of thrilling interest as the twenty present lifted their glasses at the precise moment with the knowledge that their brethren re- siding in all parts of the country were do- ing the same thing. A telegram for that precise moment, received from Colonel B. s. Pardee of Washington, D. o., was also read.
 The meeting closed with the customary ''hand shake," in which the brethren stood around the room, and each brother following the president on the right passed T T, 1.. with every other brother

Letters were read from Mayor Addison of Mays vile, Mo-, Major Clark of the United States army, now serving in the Indian war, Dr. s. P. Burdict of Philadelphia, ELI.
