Facts about the State University.

H0ct6 DOu the oCAUc university.
The University was located at
Columbia, Boone county, Mo-, in 1889.
Courses of Academic instruction were
begun IN ls4I. A Normal department
was established In 1867. The College
of Agriculture and Mechanic Arts and
the School of Mines and Metallurgy
were made a department of the
University In 1870, the School of Mines
and Metallurgy being located at Rolla.
The Law department was opened In
1872; the Medical department In 1873;
the Engineering department in 1877:
The Experiment Station was established
here, under act of congress, in 1887.
The Missouri State Military School
was created a department of the
University in 1890. On January 3,
1892, the nam building of the Univer-
sity at Columbia was destroyed by fire.
In the following March the Legislature
gave for buildings and equipments,
1886 ,577. In March, 1898, this fund
was increased by q second appropria-
ton of 1864 900, and by $685. 900
additional for q new building at Rolla.
This University has received from the
state, since February, 1891, by direct
appropriation, and in interest upon its
endowment, 1885, 900. This sum
has been added to much that in half a
century has been accumulated in
buildings and other resources.
It has a larger interest bearing
endowment than any State University,
except one, in the United States.
1t has departments of Language
classical, Oriental, and MOdern,)
Science, History, Economics, Philos-
ophy, and Pedsgogics; and also OF
Law, Medicine, Engineering (Civil,
Electrical, Mechanical, Mining,) Agri.
culture, Horticulture, Veterinary
Science, and Mechanic Arts.
All departments are open to women.
1t has large and able faculties of
instruction.
More than $780, 900 have recently
been put into new buildings and new
equipments.
The endowment, and the value OF
buildings, grounds, and other equip
ments, amount to more than $780,
900.
Much attention is given to athletics.
| They find exercise good for soul and
body. OF outdoor exercise there is
baseball, football under an expert
trainer, and military drill for infantry
and artillery.
The students maintain an efficient
chapter of the Young Mems Christian
Association, and one also Of the Young
| Women's Christian Association. Di-
vine worship is held every morning in
the chapel. The University has much
of religious influence, but is wholly
nOn-sectarian.
Its resources came from tine people
of the state and Of the nation. Founded
and supported by the people, the
University educates its students in
sympathy with the people. 1t is
patriotic, but non partisan.
The University is at the head OF the
public school system in Missouri, and
counts it a privilege to spend yearly
time, money and energy in helping
forward the secondary and elementary
schools Of the state. Its "Approvet
Schools" number sixty-fopr.
The cost of board is small in priyat,
families, and still less IN the pnlyersit,
clubs. The fees in the academic DE
partment are $40 q year; in the pro
fessional departments, 500 a year fol

CHAPTER l.

Sir Rupert Glendale was just en- the poin,
Of entering the gardens Of the Tuilleries. after
leaving the Hotel Bristol, where he had been
to call upon his sister, Lady Wooler, when he
was hailed by an eager young voice that pro
ceeded from a carriage rolling across the
Place de la Concorde.
II say, Glendale! Come with us if you've
nothing better to do. We're having high
old time of it, De varens and l. Pom my life
can't remember half the places we've been
to this morning.
The voiture was stopped, and the boy leapt
out and seized his kinsman by the arm.
Sir Rupert rather liked young Middleton,
because the lad had all the qualities in which
he found himself deficient-freshness. vigor,
enthusiasm; SO, without demur, he got into
the carriage and it drove on in the direction
OF the Champs Eiysees.
You haventtol me whittier you are bound
at present. he asked, after exchanging greet
tngs with Monsieur de yarens, a fin de steele
young Partisan, who had engaged to complete
Middleton's education by ..making him to
know the most wonderful city in the world
''We are going to n reception-at a lady's
house. Whose? You will never yuess2 II

exclamation. half rose from her seat.
Mother of God! You here? Rupert Glen
dale?''
The baronet stood stolid and unsmiling,
after scarce perceptible bow.
"How? You are previously known to
other" exclaimed De varens, his monkey
like eyes at once aflre with curiosity "How
strange of life it is, these meetings!''
The dancer had completely recovered her
sang froid during his speech.
"Ma fol, but you are not complimentary
NJ. de Varens, with your strange meetings
and your wonderings! 1 have not always
been what now am, any more than your
friend has always been Sir Rupert"
De varens laid his hand upon his heart
.'Nadame, you desolate mel l did not mean
anything to offend. The honor is, of course.
to my friend, who has had the privilege to
know Madame before the rest of u.s."
Sir Rupert Glendale muttered something to
the dancer in explanation of his change OF
name. He had succeeded to the title only a
year before. He was obviously i'll at ease:
and after few commonplace we're ex-
changed between the lady and himself he re-
tired into the background, and the circle of
worshipers closed up again, retaining within
it, however, the figure Of little Middleton.
De varens noticed many things during the
next half hour. Every now and again the
white lace that veiled tfe front of Nine. Cal
vadoro's amber satin teagown rose and fell
tumultuously, and at such times she pressed
her hand upon her side, as though to still the
quite perceptible beating of her heart Then
her eyes would keep wandering to where
Glendale's fair head lowered above the
others.

sique; he might be so, instead of 35, for any
fun he cares about nowadays. You mustn't
think all my countrymen are like that said
little Middleton, presently. He was in the
seventh heaven, for the enchantress allowed
him to sit by her and talk. "For myself, you
know" he continued, 81 want to see every

The Populists.


In the coming congressional election the
Populists will unquestionably show decided
strength. The usual revulsion of feeling
which history shows always follows such a
great political triumph rs that of 1892 will
probably deprive the Democratic party Of
many of the congressional seats now held by
it. This is a foregone conclusion. 1t may
be reckoned upon as certainly as the setting
of the sun. Even il Cleveland had not given
the country year of blunders. and if Con-
gress had not awakened general contempt by
its imbecile treatment OF the tariff, the reac-
ton would have come. As it Is. its effect will
be only the greater and the necessity OF
guarding against il more serious.
The Times believes that great number OF
the votes which the Democracy will lose next
Fall will go 10 the candidates of the Peoples
party. Ii bases this opinion partly on knowl-
edge of the temper OF the people. partly on
the invariable political rule that in time Of
discomfort and distress third party always
prospers. There is significance in a vote
recently taken by the farm. field and fireside.
a paper circulating among the farmers but
not in any sense a Populist organ. OF 20. .392
votes cast the Peoples party ticket received
13. .236; the Prohibition ticket, 2.5S7: the
Republican. 2.474. and the Democrats, 2.O95.
II should be noted that the ballot was offered
merely as an object lesson in The new scheme
of voting on the proportional representation
plan and without Offering any definite issue
except the free coinage of silver. to the voters.
On that issue the result was still more signi-
ficant, standing: for free coinage 20.012; for
gold monometallism, i2l.
