CHICAGO. ILL, March 6.-The Univer-

versIty of Chicago to dual track and

or earlier. The challenge was received
yesterday, but if Stagg. does not change

the challenge will be declined. The Cali

contest Immediately before or after the

Western meets are enough for the candi-

decline to meet the far Western men.

of the girls to possess a French library.
There are about $50 girls in the French
class and there is not single book in the
library for those who are studious enough
to want to get acquainted with French
classics. Miss Marriott Howard. the in
structor in French, suggested that the
girls should get up an entertainment to
raise French book fund, and she threw
off the suggestion, without much hope that
it would be taken up, that if there were
any mute, inglorious Molieres or Racines
among the students the time had arrived
to be heard from.
Miss Matte Ijams, 16-year-old maiden,
took this hint au grand serieux, and with
out making any fuss about 1t she set to
work to write French play. She had not
any particular passion for the theater, but
she loved the study of French and did not
consider it any hardship to thumb the
dictionary to rags to seek out words that

st Centerville on Decem5 Der IA last, began
to-day in the Superior Court. A jury
was secured and the case went over
until tomorrow.
An amusing incident occurred this
morning during the examination of
Talesman n. Woodward of Chico. He
was asked if he had any conscientious
scruples against bringing in verdict of
guilty of murder if the evidence justified.
He answered that personally he had, but
if the law made it out that a man was
guilty he would have to bring in such a
verdict. He was asked if he believed in
selfdefense. He answered that ne did not.
One of the attorneys for the defense then
said to the juror:
sIf man attempted to shoot you and
you could prevent it by killing him, would
you do it or would you allow yourself to be
shot?'
The court and the spectators broke into
roar of laughter when the answer came /:
