son said this morning, because of the ex- orbitant charges of spectators heretofore. "Last year," he went on to explain, "the students to whom allotments of tickets were given in many instances cold to the speenlators at great advance in price. In turn the spsculators charged big prices to their patrons. r5sSS li:+B+ 'Oar aim Is to cIose this field of petty speculation. We have issued about 1000 tickets to reputable ticket sellers, men to whom every theater in town gives sllot- ments. This issue has been made under | an agreement; first, that the spectators should supply regular customers; second, they should only charge reasonable rate,
 and thirdly, they should not buy any other | tickets.
 | Under this agreement, whereas a year | ego the prices paid spectators ran all the l way from $5 to $15 this year they will | only be $2 50. The pairon- of these ticket
 sellers do not wish to E. tu the trouble of making application for tickets with us, and
 leave their orders with the men from whom
 they usually buy tickets. It was to sup | ply this class that we made this arrange | ment"

THE WELCOMES ENTERTAIN.

THE WELCOMES ENTERTAIN.
 A Complete Knock Out In Nineteen
 Seconds - The Bunneli Leonard
 Bout Results in a Draw.
 The Welcome club gave it's first athletic
 exhibition of .he season in Banquet hall
 last evening. There were about 400 spec
 tators present. The exhibition began with
 four round go between Irving White and
 James Maroney, both being we'll matched
 and presenting some clever and clean spar
 ring. This was followed by what was to
 be ten-round go between Al Stewart and
 Fred AcGirr, both of Bridgeport. Both
 men appeared to be in excellent condition
 and when time was called jumped to their feet as if they meant business; and so they did, as was soon proven. Hardly had they exchanged a few terrific blows when Mo Girr led out with his right and landed squarely upon Stewards neck just below the left ear, completely knocking Stewart out in the short space of nineteen seconds. Stewart never moved after he struck the floor and the contest was awarded accord ingly to McGirr. Stewart regained con- sciousness in about twenty minutes.
 The Welcome midgets next entertained the crowd with four rounds of fairly good sparring for so young pugilists. A battle royal followed next, in which four colored representatives of the Ninth ward kept the | audience in 8 contihuous roar by their hu- l morous antics. The entertainment closed 1 with ten-round go between Leonard and Bunnell, both members of the Welcome club. In the 6ret round Bunnell succeeded | in knocking Leonard down twice. In the third round both men fought so vigorous
 ly that they became ''groRgy," and it was 1 with difficulty that they kept their feet. I In the fifth round the crowd became SO ex ] cited that Sergeant Cowles had to step
 into the ring and separate the fighters l until the crowd became quieted. The fol.
 lowing five rounds were void of interest, as ! both the contestants were tired out. The l bout was finally declared 8 draw. The of ficials were as follows: Billy" Dunn, mas | ter of ceremonies; John Roberts, time l keeper; James Eustsce and Morris Lane, referees.

THE oNTOL0GICAL ARGUMENT

 evening, December IA. F'- THE ONTOLOGIoAL ARGUMENT. AS . Proof of the Nature of the Be-
 ing of God-An Outline of the His
 tory of the Argument-The Doctrine
 That tho Human Intellect Has lm-
 mediate Cogn1tion of God.
 Professor Ladd delivered the third lec- ture in his course on the 'Philosophy of Religion" this week in Osborn hall before large audience. His special topic was ''The Nature of the Ontological Proof of the Being of God"
 He gave brief outline of the history of the pathological proof, which was promul- gated by Anselm, a scholastic philosopher of Canterbury, who fourished in the eleventh century Q033 1100. In his pros logium, otherwi entitled Fides quaerens intellectum (faith seeking intellect). he strove to demonstrate the existence of God from the conception of 8 perfect being. This pathological proof has never been held I satisfactory, however. This sanoe proof was afterwards stated by Dsscsrtes and Leibnitz, who defined it ss the priori argument for the being of God, derived | from the necessary clements involved in l the very idea of God.
 Professor Lsdd in continuing said: ! "The pathological argument reasons from | the conception of God to the reality of ! the conception. This argument is in no sense of the word 8 valid argument unless we admit the validity of two postulates on which the argument reposes. And when you have thoroughly examined these pos tulates, behold, you have the whole argu- | ment taken for granted. The first of these postulates may be generally stated as the knowledge which we possess of the ex l istencs of being in some caee. It is pos tulste of the validity of knowledge. A thorough going agnostic does not accept the pathological argument, because he does not accept or thinks he does not accept the postulate, I may know
 "On the other hand there is metaphysi cal postulate, rations1 theory of the reality of being. While we must deny ths, l the pathological argument is 8 demonstra tion, yet it virtually reposes on the very ! same postulates with 6 similar conviction warming it that all knowledge reposes on No knowledge is possible as distinguished from mere imagining or thinking. It fl ordinarily assumed by psychology ths knowledge is @ simple thing, but in reality it is very complex. When knowledge il
 mere believing. there Is no knowledge with out believing knowledge is the eorreIate O
 reality, and is not the result of this or ths
 kind of activity. Thus the underlyin,
 principle of the pathological argument fl
 the indestructibie confidence that reason | has in itself.
 "rhis that I know is reality, and al
 knowledge is implicated in reality. Ant ! this may be as true of the knowledoe n
 God as of any other kind of knowledge
 whether 1t bs scientific or philosophic.
 believe that all thorough experience of al
 that is inhuman experience requires thi
 postulate-the knowledge of the reality 0 ' God"
