he Northwestern and Its President.
Last Sundays Sentinel under the
head of college Presidents of Wiscon
sin, publishes the following sketch of
the Northu estern university of this
city and its president, Rev. A. F.
Ernst:
The Northwestern university of Wa
tertown was founded in 1868 by the
Lutheran Synod of Wisconsin. This
institution of learning has had steady
growth. There were only seven
students who availed themselves of the
advantages the school offered at the
date OF ITS opening, but this number
increased to forty before the end ofthe
year. From small beginning the
Northwestern has attained a high posi-
ton in the educational field. and is
possessed ofa largely growing influence
with the denomination for which it
iabors Much of its success can be
traced to the efforts of it's present
president, the Rev. Prof. August F.
Ernst. new era began when Presi-
dent Ernst took charge of the univer-
sltv he extended the college course
to seven years and provided for En-
glIsh instruction in all branches except
the German language, religion, Latin,
Greek and IN part history. Since Prof.
Ernst became president, the growth Of
the restitution has been marked by
the addition of a residence for the
president In 1879, an additional school
bulldlng IN 1879. a turn hallin 1870, and
refectory building with rooms for
scientific collections and music hall, in
1887.
The Northwestern has turned out
large number of teachers now holding
positions in all parts of the Northwest.
who are proud to call the Northwestern
their alma mater. As an educational
institution the Importance of the
Northwestern lies in the successful
solution of the problem of euuipping
students with a complete mastery of
two living languages.
The Rev. Prof August F. Ernst was
born in Hanover. Germany, June Is.
l84l. He received his education in the
colleges of Celle and at the University
OF Goettlngen. He taught one year in
Germany, and in 1863 came to the
United States, locating in New York
city, where he was engaged in the
ministry of the Lutheran church. He
was ordained at Pottsdam, Pa, and
pTedcneQ IN New Ork city until 1868.
For nearly year he had charge, as
pastor, of a congregation at Albany, N.
Y, and then settled in Watertown,
which has since continued his home.
With his other qualifications and attain
ments Prof. Ernst is fine speaker in
the German language, but seldom
makes any attempt at oratory in En-
gllsh, although agood conversationlist
1nlbotb tongues. He'is man of marked
characteristics, as shown in his firm
ness self-reliance and the influence he
wields over faculty and students.
Atfable and pleasant in manner, he
mas a strong personal following and is
ranks high in his denomination and
Lutheranism owes much of its present
strong position as force and power in
tnis state through the activity, zeal
and prominence of President Ernst.

to take the spirit out of them. Then the

CITY HALL COMMISSION.
Lash Responds TO Charges and
Courts Investigation.


The City Hall Commissioners met yes
terday and received letter from Thomas
F. Laist, in which the writer makes de-
NAL OF charges that he, O'Brien and
Smith had surreptitiously removed or
caused to be removed from the architects
Office a number of drawings that were sent
East for publication. The writer declares
that they were sent with Mr.. Shea's con-
sent, and that they we're not contract
drawings, but were made solely for publ
cation.
The writer then asserts that the sending
away Of those drawings was net the cause
OF the dismissal from the Office of himself
and the two others, as the drawings were
not sent until after the dlsmi ssal.
Further. he demands on behalf of him
self and O'Brien thorough investigation
as to insinuatiOns that certain blueprint
copies disappeared from the office through
the fundamentally of himself and OBrlen.
He writes that he has certain discarded
blueprint copies of the dome drawing
and that these were given to him by Shea
in the presence of a third party and sent
to his room by the Office boy.
In conclusion the writer says that if any
statements have been made which reflect
upon the good judgment of any or all of
the members of the Board of City Hall
Commissioners they were simply repeti-
ton of statements which he claims were
made by the boards architect.
Beyond the reading of this letter
little was done. Several small bills
were audited and passed for payment,
but the letting of the contracts for
repairs in the southeast wing was laid
over for another week, the commission de-
string further time to investigate the bids.
1t was reported that the work on the
dome was progressing rapidly. To-day

A MEXICAN CONCERT.
At Which Some Graceful Dancing
Was Performed.


The concert given in METROPOLITAN
Temple by the Mexican band was not at
tended by the average concert-going audi
epce. Indeed celestial choirs would be
insufficient to work an Euglish-speakng
public up to such a pitch of demonstrative
enthusiasm as to call themselves hoarse
with "viyaW and "bravo" and even Law
ish hats upon one performance.
The Mexican Band. which is essentially
an organization for the open air, would
have proved Overpowering in building
the size OF METROPOLITAN Temple without
some intermissioDs. 1t had, however,
secured the services OF several local per-
formers. The programme rendered by the
band consisted of music that 1t has already
made the public familiar with at the fair.
AS usual Professor L.. Santbanery's
clarionet solo Variations on La Sonnan-
bula." was performed with considerable
taste and agility, and the descriptive piece,
"a limiting Scene" by Buccalossi, was
particularly adapted to displaying the
hands lively and spirited manner of in ter
preting light music.
Fortunately the programme only con-
tanned one number in which The performers
substituted their own for the composers
time. "Chopin's Funeral March," given
in double quick step, for instance, was a
liberty which the Mexican Band did lot
indulge in last night Indeed all its efforts
were worthy of applause.
The local talent gave entire satisfaction
Il the audience. The LON bardero Quartet
played gracefully and arts tically. as usual.
Miss May Mabie's singing would have
been more agreeable if it had not been dis
figured by painful vibratc. She sang in
italian. and as an encore gave the pages
brindisi from la "Borgia." The reckless
sentiments of the dashing Orsini hugely
amused the hearers.
One of The greatest successes of the even
ing was "Jarabe TaDatio." danced by Sig
norita Carmen Martinez and Sr. NJ. Paz.
The ady in particular was light and grace
full. and as the dance progressed 1t caused
storms of TWAS" and even a couple of
hats were hurled over the heads of
tna audience with great dexterity.
The entertainment, which had been.be-
gun with military precision, was not made
100 long, even by the numerous encores
1t concluded with the popular tambourine
dance.

bit of news to the strikers, at least they
took it for certain and congratulated them
selves accordingly. This was that In case
the Federal troops were brought to the
mole the operators on the western and
other divisions would refuse to handle the
trains. In fact it was stated positively
that two of them had been called into
Division Superintendent Wilder's Office
Yesterday and asked regarding their fealty
to the company and their disposition as TO
handling trains, and that they told him
plainly that on the ground OF humanity
they would refuse 10 dispatch trains carry
ing Federal troops. They said they ala
not propose to have any hand in sending
armed men to fight against the strikers.
Just what Wilder said. or what he will do
with these men, has not been made known,
but the strikers are jubilant at the pros
pect.
