The Exercises at the First TERMS
Closing.
UNIVERSITY, Dec. 20.-The close of the
first term of the University of Southern
California was celebrated last evening in
the college chapel at University Place
by the annual entertainment by the
junior class. The decorations were
simple, consisting only of curtain of
evergreen back of the platform. The
exercises were begun at few minutes
past O'Clock by the invocation by Rev.
DR.. Williams. Music by Miss Lila G..
Spencer followed. Scherzo and Adagio
(Scharwenka) was the name of the
piece she rendered so handily.
The first Grafton of the evening, Hy-
patia, was delivered by Miss Kate VII
mans. Hypatia, the Greek maiden, was
introduced by her religion or rather her
philosophy, for they we're inseparably
connected. She recognized We in
of testimony running through
everything in nature and humanity,
sustaining the fact of Supreme Being.
Hers was q refined paganism. So pro-
nounced were her views On this subject
and so attractive were they, that kings
and princes attended her lectures. Her
religion was one of wisdom, which re-
garded ignorance as sin.
r. T. Hall sang vocal solo, Anchored
(Watson), as the next number on the
programme.
Another Grafton followed, entitled
Science or Classics, by E. M. Palette.
He took the ground that classics were
not necessary to college course. This
is, he showed, being proven by the ac-
ton the larger colleges are taking in re-
gard to this. 1t is now possible to take
course in college without Greek or
Latin. 1t has been said that "the clas-
sics neglects all the powers of some
minds and some of the powers of all
minds" The advantage OF Greek and

COMETS AND METEORS.
PROFESSOR BARNARD'S LECTURE
AT PASADENA.
The Noted Astronomer Gives Most En-.
tertainiDg Discourse-The Points
Which He Makes Plain-An
Enjoyable Affair.

Comets and Meteors and the ReIa,
tion Between Them was the subject of
the lecture on astronomy delivered in
the Pasadena opera house last evening
by Professor Barnard, the celebrated
young astronomer of Lick observatory,
who created such Juror in the scien-
tifc world short time ago by his dis
covery of the fifth moon Of Jupiter.
The lecture was given purely in the
interest of science, the professor only
asking that his expenses be met, the
surplus going to the Throop university.
The steropticon views were special
feature of the lecture, under the direc.
tiOn OF F. P. Andrews of San Francisco.
In short introduction to the subject
the speaker reviewed the history of
those stray members of the solar sys-
tenn called comets. Speaking of the
distinction between the*neubula he
said: There is estimated to be 10000
OF the neubulae; as to the comet it is
usually without tail, is of the most
extreme thinness and is composed
almost wholly of hydrocarbon gas.
An amusing incident is recorded of a
comet which appeared in the fifteenth
century. At that time the Turks were
threatening Christendom and the
popular belief was 30 strong that the
comet was in league with the Turks,
that the pope was induced to issue
bull against the supposed enemy.
Looking up the subject of the great
showers of meteors which have occurred
at various times in the worlds history
it was demonstrated that they are
caused by the earth passing through the
remains of meteors which have been
shattered by some force and when they
come within the earth's attraction were
rApidly attracted and consumed, causing
the brilliant display of shooting or fall.
ing stars,
The professor then reviewed the recent
discoveries which have been made in the
line OF comets, ard explained the man
ner in which the heavens are searched
and swept for new comets.
1t takes about 10 days of steady work
to cover all points of the heavens in a
complete manner.
The latter portion Of the lecture was
devoted to a display OF stereopticon
views of the different phenomena of the
heavens. The pictures we're taken both
from photographs and drawings, and
gave a splendid idea of the work being
carried on by those patient laborers in
the field OF scientific research.

BLAINE may LIVE FOR WEEKS,
More Hopeful Reports Of His
Condition Given Out.
The Real Nature Of His Disease Still
Kept Secret.
The Family Objects to Having It Dis
cussed in Public-The Patient
Resting Easier Yesterday
and Last Night.

By the Associated fress
NEW YORK, Dec. 90 DIR. Alfred L.
Loomis has returned to the city from
Washington, where he had been to see
Blaine. To reporter he said: "Blaine
is in very critical condition, yet he
ca lnot be said to be in any momentary
danger; he may live for weeks. 1t is
impossible to tell anything more def
mite about his case at present."
WASHINGTON, Dec. 20. = Newspaper
men again asked of the physicians today
what was the real nature of the disease
from which Blaine was suffering. They
were given to understand that it was by
the wish. of the family that this was
Kept from the public. They think if it
were made public it would open large
field for discussion that would be in
tensely disagreeable to the family.
Inquiry at the Blaine residence this
morning ELECTED the information that
he was improving
DR.. johnston visited Blaine at 8
O'Clock and remained short time. He
subsequently summarized the patients
condition by saying: Blaine is as we'll
as yesterday morning and seems re-
freshed after good nights rest. Blaine
has no trouble sleeping. There ia no
basis whatever for the report that he
had hemorrhage."
Blaine is resting quietly at midnight,
and no change il looked for during the
night.

MoDEsTo, CAL, Dec. 20.-The atteI-
ton of Sheriff Purvis was directed to
suspicious noises in the county Jail last
night, and an investigation convinced
him that an attempt to escape was be-
ing made. The sheriff remained on
watch until 2 am, when he entered the
Jail and detected N. E. Hale at WORK
cutting through the brick wall to free
dom. Thirty minutes later Hale and
half dozen other prisoners would have
been at liberty, as only one thickness OF
brick remained to be cut away. He
was well equipped with tools, compris-
ing two case kniy es, one converted into
a saw; q steel bar and an iron bar, each
Is inches in length, and piece of iron
three feet long-the latter leg of an
iron bedstead which the prisoners had
unscrewed from its fastenings. This

AN IMPORTANT LINE.
The Proposed New Wyoming and Uta
Railroad.

The Proposed New Wyoming and Utah
Railroad.
CHICAGO, Dec. 20.-The proposed new
Wyoming and Utah railroad recently
incoi porated to run from Casper, Wyo.,
to Ogden, Utah, is very important
line. In many respects this is the most
important item of railroad news OF the
year. No other track of equal length
could so completely change railroad re-
lations. 1t will extend the North
Westerns Fremont, Elkhorn and
Missouri Valley road to Og-
den and give the Vanderbilts
continuous line nearly across the
continent, The new line will be per-
fectly independent of all connections,
except the Southern Pacific at Ogden,
and will become the most active COM
petitor, instead of the closest ally of the
Union Pacific route Of Wyoming and
Utah. 1t will follow the old Mormon
trail from Casper to Ogden. 1t 10 cap

are Charles A. Sherman and E. S.

Latin as intellectual trainers are no bet

ercise.
The same interesting subject was con-
tinued by r. G. Van Cleve. Education
must be understood before going further.
1t is two fold, First, to develop the
mind; second, to acquire useful knowl-
edge. There is less development of the
mind in scientific instruction than is
generally supposed. Where all is cut
and dried there is no mental exercise,
1t is but method Of examining. Man
is an intellectual, political and moral
being, and that which does not instruct
concerning these shings do not interest
him. In science, all is methodical but
in classics, each word represents sepa-
rate and distinct thought.
Prof. F. A. Bacon rendered When I
Have Found Thee (Muir) as a vocal solo
in bis usual good style.
Miss Edna Marsh gave eulogy of the
late English poet laureate, Tennyson.
He was born so years ago in a retired
English home. He always loved ouie-
tude and retirement. He was from a
boy leader in literature in his circle,
and upon the death of Wordsworth was
promoted to be the chief poet of Britain.
Hartley Shaw then gave his opinion
of Trades Unionism. He dubbed the
proper adjustment of the rights of the
laborers and of the capitalist the most
important and most difficult question
before the public today. At first trades
unions were formed for social and benefit
purposes. Now they exist to uphold the
rights of laborers as against their en-
ployers, and this by united action.
An instrumental solo by Miss Lulu
Johns closed the evenings programme.

was perfectly steady, without any
tendency to pitch or dip her bow in
the water. The members of the naval
board expressed no surprise at the man
ner in which she threw wave over her
bow, and stated that nothing else could
be expected of vessel of the Monitor
type, with such low freeboard as the
Monterey has.
After the Monterey reached Red Rock
she turned and went over the course
again, returning to Hunters point.
On the return trip the engineer board
took data in the engine room and fire
room upon which the horsepower COM
putations will be made.
1t was about l O'Clock when the war
ship reached Hunters point and the
contractors concluded to run her over
the course again. This was done, but
there was no special incident on the
second trip. The engines maintained
an average of 130 revolutions all the
time.
The Monterey returned to the Union
iron works apout4 o'clock and anchored
off the works. The contractors express
the greatest satisfaction with the per-
formance of the vessel. She will go out
again over the same course on Thursday
and it is expected then to work the
engines up to lao revolutions and per-
haps more. On the next trip after that
they will probably be worked to 100
revolutions, and then it is intended to
give her the official trial.
The contractors are not the only ones
who express the greatest satisfaction
with the preliminary trials of yesterday
and today. The naval engineers who
were aboard the vessel, and the mem
bers of the trial board also do not hesi-
tate to say thatAo far her machinery has
worked perfectly, and that there is every
indication that when forced to her full
power the new vessel will meet all the
requirements of the contract.
