A Musical Treat.

On Friday of last week, the Prince
ton College Glee Club, 80 stroug,
spent the day III Kansas City, Mo-, at
which place they gave an evening con-
cert. The handsome and commodious
Auditorium building, which was used
for the occasion, was literally filled to
overlooking, with the elite of that
city, to hear the wonderful perform
ance Of this celebrated musical organ
ization. AS musical effort the en-
tertainment was lauded to the skies
Indeed so great was the enthusiasm
aroused by their magnificent perform
ance that the entire club was taken
in hand by the leading society ladies
of Kansas City and feted as well as
feasted, to their hearts content. The
Club travels by special train, and
creates perfect fursre of excitement
and applause wherever they CO. The
organization is unique and in many
respects unparalleled in the history Of
musical bodies, generally, which per-
haps accounts in measure for the
popular public favor which greets its
members on every hand. The very
novelty of the thing recon mending it
to popular public favor and approval.

The New Year.

The beginning Of the new year was
marked by ali increased attendance
at the several places of religious wor-
ship In this city, on yesterday. This
would evidence the fact that many
good resolutions were made, and
others renewed by people Of our city,
on this God given occasion, which for
centuries has been wont to inspire the
children of men with desire for
higher and nobler deeds, purer and
better lives, together with an almost
universal determination toward moral
reform. That many of these pledges
and good resolutions will fail to be
kept, cannot, in the light of expert
ence, be doubted. But such failure
will not in any wise detract from the
glorious result of those honestly made
and religiously kept, of which latter,
we may be permitted to hope, there
will, on the day OF final reooning, be
found n numerous band Of the wise
and faithful, who, despite the rude
encounter of worldly tcmpcsts, which
continually arise and threaten dcstruc-
ton TO the frazier barks upon life's
stormy sea, will be found to have
weathered the gale safely and entered
securely into the haven of promised
rest and eternal happiness.

Unexpected Assistance.

Many strange and often interesting
stories are related of college bred
men, who on leaving their "Alma
Mater" to enter into rough combat
with a cold world miss the high place
in life which has been set apart for
them by their admirmg class mates
aud sink into obscurity, only to be
heard of again by an occasional chance
circumstance. Such an incident in
the life of one of these quasi heroes
Of Modern College life is thus pleas
antly related by the Boston Herald in
a recent issue. The story, which is
related as an actual occurrence, has
the ring of the truth to II and reads
as follows:
"a girl with soft brown hair and
earnest eyes sat in an electric car
bound from Cambridge to Boston the
other morning. In her lap lay several
books, and in her hand she held a
Latin copy of "llorace's Satires,"
which she was studying diligently.
At her side sat young man who
looked steadily over her shoulder at
her open book. The young man did
not look like one who might under
stand Latin. lie wore an immense
pair of rubber boots, rough over
coat much the worse for wear and a
dingy hat that was pulled far down
over his eyes.
Finally the girl came to line
that seemed to give her trou-
bic, 1t was not difficult Latin. The
construction was simple and direct,
but it was one of those treacherous
idioms that say one thing and mean
another, and hence appear altogether
incongruous in their context The
girl looked at the Latin in puzzled
way, and then turned to the notes in
the back of the book, Then she con-
suited the vocabulary and finally turn
ed to the text again and gazed at it
meditatively.
The young man next to her who
was still looking over her shoulder,
showed considerable uneasiness at her
seemingly futile efforts. lie smiled
family, turned once or twice in his
seat, and beat tattoo on the floor
with the toe of his rubber boot And
as her struggles continued his dis
quietude became still more apparent.
lie looked around the car in a help
less way, bit his lips, and beat upon
the floor more violently than ever
Then suddenly he leaned slightly
toward her and said "And agree to
be witness"
1t was the translation of the recall
citrant phrase. The passengers at the
end Of the car, however, did not un-
derstand. The young girl started
slightly, then smiled and said: "Oh,
thank you," and looked into his eyes
in friendly way, but wonderingly.
She did not know that he was u
classical honor man at Harvard few
years ago."

TO THE PUBLIC.

Relying upon the honor and man
hood of the parties interested, we were
induced TO act as committee to con-
slider The differences between Prof &.
l.. Bryant, president of the Interstate
College, and his teachers, Profs Dunn
and Mehornav. After a careful and
thorough investigation we were salts
fled that the latter had violated their
contracts, aud, when called upon, they
admitted there was 10 justification for
their action, and, relying upon their
promise to discharge their duties in
future, we prevailed upon Prof Bry-
ant 10 receive them again, on these
express terms and conditions;
NWhereas, There has arisen diff
ference between Prof. Bryant, presi-
dent of Bryant's Interstate College,
aud Profs. Dunn and Mehornay,
which resulted in the latter
abandoning their contracts, and it is
now submitted to the undersigned to
investigate and decide upon what
terms they shall return or be retained,
if at all, and
Whereas, After hearing all parties
fully, and after thorough investigation,
we find that said teachers were not
justified in their conduct; their action
was decidedly hasty-that being its
best excuse--and that they are good
teachers and thoroughly qualified,
Now, therefore. we decide they may
return upon these conditions; First.
they shall, individually and collective
ly, always diligently, earnestly and
honestly cndeavor to build up, main
tain and support Bryants Interstate
College; to extend its influence and
gain its patronage, They shall do
nothing that will now or hereafter de-
tract from or injure said college. Prof.
Dunn shall have as compensation one
half the income of said school or col
lege after all expenses are paid. Ex-
penses include salary for two teachers
at 500 per month each, to be collected
by Prof Bryant, and salary of $75
per month for Prof. Mehornay; that
expense for advertising shall not OK
ceed $10per month. Prof, Dunn may
terminate his contract upon 80 days
notice in writing, and as to the others,
it shall continue until the end Of the
present school year, in June next.
That Prof, Bryant, president of said
college shall be business manager and
at all times have superintcndence and
control. Any differences that may
arise that cannot be settled by said
parties shall be submitted to the.com-
mittee. Contract shall be in force
from November %, 1892.

The Interstate College.

We call the attention Of our readers
to-day TO the published report of the
committee selected to arbitrate the
differences between Prof Bryant and
his teachers, Profs. Dunn, Mehornay,
ct. al, which appears in another col
umn Of to-day's paper. The report
speaks for itself in no uncertain terms,
and clearly shows that our people are
right in sustaining Prof Bryant
in his efforts to build up
his college and that the public are
justified in frowning down any at
tempt on the part Of these men to tear
down an established institution OF
worth and value in the effort to vent
personal spite upon its official head
We shall say more on this matter
hereafter, If necessary.

CLOUD BURST SWEEPS VILLA

FLOOD LEAVES THE TOWN A COM
PLETE WRECK.
Whole Families Awakened by the
Rush Of Water Only to Be Engulfed
in the E1ood-Scores of Villagers
killed-General News from Foreign
Lands.

Madrid, Sept. 15.-The town of Villa
Canas, III the province of Toledo, has
been devastated by floods, and a large
number Of lives have been lost Heavy
rains have fallen in the province, and
the town, which is situated on rather
low ground, was inundated.
Late last night, when most of the
inhabitants had retired, the waters
from the hills swept down, carrying
almost every thing. Huge trees that
had been torn bodily from the ground
swept along on the crest of the wa
ters and were hurled against tie
houses, carrying the houses before
chem.
In a number of cases the persons
saved were badly injured and it is
probable that many of them Will die.
The bodies have been found of sew
eral women, who had apparently made
heroic efforts to save themselves and
their children.
The town is in wreck today. 1T is
positively known that forty persons
We're drowned. The bodies of many
others are buried under the ruins OF
their homes. 1t is thought that the
government will have to extend aid tO
the town.
The people are so stricken by the
disaster that they display no concern
over the loss of their relatives OF
property and assistance will have to be
given them until they recover from
! the blow.

Washington Sept. 1.-THE majority
report of the committee on the bill
repeating the federal elction laws. de-
cares that the purpose and object
for which these laws were passed have
long since passed away. Surely no
officer of the army or navy should be
left to determine when it is necessary
to bring troops to the polls, and the
constitution has implicitly prohibited
it,
The report concludes with reasons
why the statutes should be speedily
repealed.
The minority report goes at length
into the constitutionality Of the laws
1t is remarkable that the minority re-
port does not even allude to the effects
of the laws i'll the south.
This election bill is destined. when it
gets into the arena of debate, to stir
partisan rancor to it's lowest depths.
The struggle in the house this morn
ing was begun by Mr.. Burrows before
the prayer had hardly ceased and

WINTER WORLDS FAIR.
Directors to Meet to Arrange to Con
tinue Till Jan. 1.

Chicago, Sept 15.-After a confer
ence with a number of foreign COM
missioners, the worlds fair directors
have called a special meeting for next
Monday night to discuss the feasibility
of extending the exposition until Jan.
1, 1894. 1t has been understood for
some time among the managers of the
fair that it would be kept open later
than Oct 80, the time fixed by con-
gress, if the attendance in the later
months seemed to justify such move.
The heavy gate receipts and sudden
increase in the regular daily crowds
gave the directors encouragement
enough to justify serious considera-
ton Of the subject. The director gen
eral was consulted, and while he
thought it impossible to make an eX-
tension for another year, he said it
might pay to postpone the end until
Ian. i.
A number Of the foreign commits
sioners, too, had the same view of the
matter when it was presented to
them. They said that while large num-
Der of exhibits had been sold for de-
livery at the close of the fair, Oct
80, it would be a comparatively easy
matter to secure duplicates from the
home establishments and maintain
their sections in tact for two months
longer

DEVIL IN A PASTOR.
Lively Free Methodist Camp Meeting
at New Diggings.

Shullsburg, Wis, Sept. 15.-The Free
Methodists who have been holding
camp meeting on the hill south of New
Diggings have struck tents and moved
out to the great relief of the citizens.
Just before their departure they nearly
killed one Of their number, the Rev.
Mr. Johnson, Of Montfort
A candidate for orders in the society
must possess poverty and other IN
pleasant things. The Rev. Mr.. John
son incurred the displeasure Of Pastors
Webb and Camm, two of the leaders,
because he did not come UP to their
standard of Christian excellence, and
wore cuff-buttons, a scarf pin and a
white shirt.
The worshippers caught the unfor-
tunate preacher in a tent with Webb
and Camm and asked him to confess. y
Johnson told them he had nothing to
confess Webb and Camm then charg-
ed him with having a devil concealed
about his person and conceived it to be
! their religious duty to relieve him OF
his load
| They began by getting Johnson down
OH his face with his nose i'll pile OF
straw that they had been using for bed
ding, and while Webb held him down
and did the shooting Camm tried tC
coax the devil out with Il prayer, while
q collection Of the camp began wal
Gancc around the PROSTATE body. Sa
tan did not seem to let 60 his hole
and heroic treatment was reSOrted to
and poor Johnson was pounded anC
kicked.
They kept up this business for hours
Johnson was being kneaded, beate1
and bruised and some of the people
on the grounds became alarmed. A
last sufficient force was secured an(
the victim was dragged out more dea(
than alive. He was 50 weak and Sor'
that he was unable to walk.
A crowd of citizens, numbering ner
ly 100, led by Frank Craig, Jr., arc
Supervisor Clo"ethand, marched to thu
camp meeting grounds determined t
tear down every tent and drive thu
campers out of town. The better judg
ment of the leaders prevailed, how
ever, and they warned the two preach
