Phelps Stokes manifested desire to become a tatooed man The operation was performed amid tlendlsh yells, but the marks were only temporary. His freshman landlady drew up a touching set of resolutions Qt cost Anson $l0), the burden of which was that some day Anson might be president. Stokes you have done more for Yale than any '96 man, and I may add Yale has done more for you. As an editor you praised the News from the University bulletin; as man you have interested yourself in everything that is healthy and dem ocratic, and you have larger, broader view of what Yale should really be tha even the faculty itself. 'Tis our earn est wish that your future may be as brilliant and unselfish as your career here.

 Nearly every member of the class was joked in some of the histories, and as each mans name was mentioned he was raised in the air by his classmates.
 At the conclusion of the histories the class ivy was planted at the side of Chittenden library and the ivy ode was read. The class then marched to the residences of President Dwight and Dean Wright and cheered. President Dwight did not appear, but Prof. Wright did and made neat speech to the class. He is a very popular mem- Der of the faculty, and loud and hearty were the cheers given for him. The class then marched to Osborn hall and after giving it's final cheer the class ex- ercises were concluded.

 John Stephenson Pullman, E. A., Wesleyan university '92, Bridgeport, speaking on the subject "The Mississip- pi Rule of Suffrage" said in part:
 Slowly the race has worked it's way upward from absolutism to political side by side in Mississippi, the one en- frightened, the other ignorant of the na- ture and principles of free government. The right of suffrage given to this ig norant class by the amendments to the constitution was in it's nature revolu- tionary, taking as it did the control of the government from those who were capable and placing it in the hands of those who are incapable. It failed to notice the difference between equality of men before the law and the inequai- ity of men in making law. The safety of republics lies in the education of their citizens, and this restriction of suffrage in Mississippi by limiting it to those who can read the constitution of the state or understand or give an interpretation of the same was a ra- tional method to avoid and throw off the danger which threatened the state as a result of the reconstruction amend- ments.
 "The great danger to the country lies in the influence of party bosses over the masses of ignorant voters, and the rule is a wise step for the educational restriction on the giving of the ballot to those too ignorant to know its wOrth''
 William Luther Tibbs, Pin B., Colo rado college and attorney-at-law, Salt Lake City, Utah, spoke on Party Feel ing in 1796 and 1896, D tracing the differ ences between the parties of then and today,
 "The parties of 1796 showed the error of youth those of to-day the vices Of age. Tn 1796 the country was suffering from party feeling; to-day it is suffer ing from party indifference. No one living under a free government has a right to be indifferent to politics. Ths rule is ever true that eternal vigilance is the price of liberty.

Our Whist Queens New Book
"Whist."

On invitation from THE CALL Mrs. f. H. At
water of Petaluma, one of our whist critics,
sends US the following:
"Miss Kate Wheelock's new book is just
what one would expect from such dear little
lady.
"Daintv, unassuming, right to the point
and full of good things presented in con-
else, clear form.
"In fact just such book as one would desire
TO have constantly at hand.
Coming from one who has had such wide
experience, both in theory and practice as a
teacher and player, and one who is held in
such high esteem in the whist world, the
student may be sure of not being led sstray by
following its rules implicitly.
'The whist books OF late have been so full of
all sorts OF fads and fancies thatit is very graft
lying to find in this little volume nothing but
good common whist sense, which. if followed,
would not require a player, when cutting in
with new partner, 10 ask, (Which system do
you play?'
"Miss Wheeiock follows the American leads
with few exceptions, favoring the leads of A
with 8 in suit, Q from the one combination
of X, @, and the lead of 10 from @, J. 10 and
or more, and fourth best from king, jack, TO-

Is Duplicate Whist Degenerating =?

The size of the score seems to be the stand
ard of quality or excellence of whist-play in
many of the whist clubs in this section of the
country. We seldom if ever hear the question
asked, "Did you have good gamer" ''Any in
teresting deals?" No, it is, (which way did
you sit?" "What was your scorer" The style
of game that we particularly refer to is this:
''Play a tray or two and skip to the next
table, and the first thing that is done is to
looK over the score of your new adversaries,
see what they made on deals that the ''skip-
pers" have not played and then do anything
to beat that score, We dubbed this sort of
play "merry-goround" whist. We have no
use for this kind OF game ourselves when we
cannot play "two-table duplicate" the only
game of duplicate whist that is an actual test
OF skill. We play it for the want of something
better. We feel toward this style of game as
we do when we go up to our shoe ting pre-
serves: if we cannot get canvasbacks we will
put up with "spoonies."
Is it not ABOUT time that new style OF game
for general club play was given to the whist
world ? If John 7. Mitchell, the father of du-
plicate whist, don't hurry up and give US a
new game we will have to show up solitaire
whist"
