OUR COLLEGES.
LOMBARD UNIVERSITY.

It was announced at Lombard Uni
versity one morning last week that
several important changes in the
rules of the institution would be
made Immediately. The first was in re-
lation to the government Of the students
in all matters of order and discipline.
The students themselves will hereafter
have voice in this.
A committee called q Septemvirate
will be appointed at the beginning Of
next term, to have full disciplinary con-
troll of the College. This committee will
be presided over by the president of the
university, or in his absence the vice.
president, and will include three other
members Of the faculty, one theological
student, and one lady and one gentle
man from the college of liberal arts.
The committee will hereafter be ap
pointed the first Tuesday of each school
year and hold throughout the entire
year.
The other change is in regard to com
mencement exercises. Instead of re-
quiring each member of the graduating
class to give an grafton commencement
day, as has been done in past years. only
five will speak in future. Each member
of the class will be required, however, to
hand in an Grafton seven weeks before
commencement and be ready for re-
hearsals five weeks before. The five
will then be chosen by the faculty upon
the basis Of scholarship, composition of
his Grafton and its delivery. The first
will count so per cent and the last two
25 per cent.
The subjects for Grafton must be ap-
proved by the President before the close
of the present term. Two of the five
speakers will be from the theological
school and three from the college of lib
eral arts.
A course in applied psychology has
also been added to the college curricu
lum.
A BUCHTEL REUNION.
A large number of the Akron alumni
of Buchtel College met in the parlors of
the institution last week to consult wi b
the students in regard to the proposed
reunion of alumni and old students at
the commencement in June. Mrs. Susie
G. Cole presided. Those present were
very much in favor of the plan and will
give the students every encouragement
possible in carrying it out.
The Akron Beacon endorses this move
ment in wise and fraternal words. 1t
says: THE efforts of the students of
Buchtel College to gather in for gen.
eral reunion at commencement time in
June the alumni and those who have
ever at any time attended the College,
ought to meet with the cooperation of

we hope to hear that Olmstead and LIE
Roy churches will unite on the same
man or woman. as their churches are
convenient enough to work together un-

all those who are or should be interested
in the College and its work. It will be
only through great effort that the in
stitution can regain lost ground and
cover new fields, and the surest way to
propagate information concerning the
College is through its alumni and old
students. For several years a large
number of these people, who ought to
take the deepest interest in the institu.
ton, have been disaffected, and it is to
be hoped that this feeling can now be
eliminated and the College restored to
the warm place in their thoughts and
deeds which it deserves. In no better
way can this result be accomplished
than by such reunion as is now pro-
posed. 1t is to be hoped that it will be
a success and that the institution will
regain the loyalty and support of those
which in the past it has missed

Allegheny is a city Of over 100000
people just across the river and really
forms a part of Pittsburg, but so far

cities together with the adjacent villag.

900 souls, in all of which our church is
almost unknown. II Christianity is to

evening by representatives of several
societies, and was read first. The word

Tense to the Aldermen. who made
speeches denouncing them as insulting,
and it seemed for time as though the
Woodlawn petition would not be even
read, but Aid. O'Neil was appealed to
by the representative of the boys and
moved that it be read, which was done.
1t did not antagonize, and motion that
it be referred to the Finance Committee
for consideration was adopted.
1t may be that the work of the boys
will effect what could not before be &C.
complished, and that some of thoee who
have not had fair chance to become
honest citizens may be saved from ruin
by it. One little girl who wanted to
help secured over fifty names to the Pc
tition. There were but few refusaIs to
sign and those who did object on the
ground that taxes were already too high,
probably forgot that it costs the city
something to keep criminals after it has
manufactured them.
S.-Girard.-The church is
in a prosperous condition. We have
paid our quota in full. to the State Con-
vention. The parsonage which has been
commenced since Bro. June settled here,
is ready for the plasterer. 1t is an ele-
CANT little house, with seven rooms. A
recent entertainment Melted $50. A
series of meetings are in contemplation.
We hope much good may result.
Rev. Mr.. June will hold series of
meetings in New Salem. These meet
ings are to begin about the 23rd, after
which the meetings will begin in Girard.
Mr.. June will be assisted by the Rev. E..
Manford Clark, of Lamont. Mo-, and
Rev. A. Fl. Laing. of Joliet. This will
make talented combination.

nine months it has earned by various
entertainments and unique devices near

PACKING BUTTER.

Good butter may be safely packed TO
Keep six months or more if the right
way is taken. 1t used to be done years
ago, when it was the custom to keep the
surplus product for sale then, there
being no winter dairying to supply the
demand. The butter must be naturally
good and sweet and worked quite free
from the buttermilk by thorough wash
ing. There need be no fear that this
will hurt the butter for IL cannot take
anything from It, the fat being wholly
insoluble in water, and only the but
termilk will be washed ort of II, which
1t must be, or it will be detriment to

Tat into volatile acids by which the but

The best packages for this use are
glazed earthen jars or sweet, clean
white oak or spruce tubs, painted or
vanished on the outside. The tubs
are soaked in brine, then scalded, then
washed in two or three waters, then
rubbed with fine salt inside, and while
wet the butter is packed N them, being
firmly pressed down so &c to leave no
vacancies in the mass.
When the package is filled to within

Teller, Harris and Hatch Talked of by
White Metal Advocates.
The do or die silver men have finished
me of their many conferences, have
prepared for another of their many
conventions, and have gone home. The
convention, as is generally known, is
TO nominate a nonpartisan free silver
candidate for the presidency. There
Is a great deal of discussion about
Washington to-day, amusing and seri-
Gus, as to the forthcoming ticket. Some
OF the members of this conference still
hope that Senator Teller, who has here
tofore been faithful 10 the republican
party organization, viii remember GER
tain threats he has recently made, and
will join them in their campaign.
Senator Teller has frequently said
that il in the coming campaign the
republican party adopted a single
standard or a gold platform he would
refuse to vote with it. If he leaves his
party he will undoubtedly be the first
choice of the silver party for president.
The talk of Sibley, of Pennsylvania, has
slowly subsidized, and the only mention
Of him is now for a second place upon
the ticket. Senator Harris, of Tennes-
see, who is one of the most ardent sill
yer democrats, has been sick at his
home in this city during the week.
and this has given rise to some rumors-
upon the floor that he was attending
the conclaye of the silver knights
One or two papers have suggested
that Senator Harris would make q
splendid vice presidential candidate, be-
cause Of his peculiar fitness to preside
over the senate. These rumors have
reached the senator and have reused
him to state of characteristic indigna-
ton. Those who have seen him soy that
ne uses very picturesque language to
assert that he has ne7er had any idea

silver crowd, much less of becoming
leader among them. Representative
