whom he labors to bring into the light

Only in this brief fashion did she touch
upon the receLt dissension in the army led
by her brother, Ballington Booth. After
speaking some fifteen minutes she said her
strength was fast failing her, and she
closed and retired from the stage.
Major Lewis, a young English woman
who is the consuPs chief assistant on this
tour, made short address, explaining
something OF the army and navy league of
the Salvation Army, of which she is more
especially at the head, and the work Of
which is to be inaugurated during her stay
here-a work especially directed toward
the saving of seafaring men.

volume is large quarto, daintily bound
in light blue linen with gold lettering, and
printed on the finest quality of thick cream
tinted, hot-pressed paper. This work con-
sists of 208 reading pages, each of which
is gem OF the typographer's art, while
the large number of illustrations with
which the volume is embellished render it
even more attractive.
Every effort has been made to confine
the work of compiling the volume to COL
lege talent. AS the editors observe. the
contributions from outside sources have
been few, and for the most part necessi-
tated by the pressure OF time. Among
those who have lent their aid and advice
to the work are E. L. Steele, w. S. Wright
and Messrs. Sydney, Armour and Watson
of the Art School and Miss Watson and
illustrations, v1gnettes and tailpieces with
which the book abounds.
The fine Photographic views OF the uni
yersitty grounds were taken by Miss Jessie
Trowbridge. 0. Y. Lange fathers the ex-
cellent photograph of the cadet officers.
while the headpiece to the freshman his.
tory is the work of Mr.. Webster of Oak
land. The remainder of the illustrating
was done for the most part by III. B.
Quinn, the stan artist, ana certainly re-
fleets much credit upon his ability and
Judgment as an artist.
The book will ''come out" this afternoon
during the maneuvers of the student
cadets on the university campus, and its
advent is most eagerly looked for. The
students have received vague hints that
within its covers are to be found all the
college jokes of the year; they have been
led to believe that the hits and digs occa-
sionally have for their object some grave
professor of the university, hence curiosity
is rife. A peculiar feature is the gayly
incisive fashion in which the idiosyn-
cracies of some of the college "freaks'' and
the ambitious aspirations of the juniors
are noted. All these little ways and foibles
are depicted in sarcastic doggerel and cut
ting rhyme, illustrated by fantastic and
sometimes hideous caricatures.

they are willing to abide by any conse-

Emma Booth-Tucker appeared beneath
the flags that framed the stage.
Brigadier Keppel had his army on its
feet at the time singing hallelujahs. The
army was banked in solid mass from the
line of the stage to the roof. The poke
bonnets and the red shirts were in such
evidence as gave an unusual warmth to
this picture that is not unusual in Metro
politan Temple. The balconies were
draped in the colors of the army. From
the roof in the center, above the stage,
swung down on each side of the big organ
the American flag.
At the end of the balcony to the left of
the stage was stationed a brass band that
was adding its tim bre and tempo to the
cry of ''Tear down the forts of Satan"
In the midst of fortssimo descent upon
the "forts of Satan" the majors and cap
tains and ensigns that form the directing
energy of headquarters, who were massed
upon the stage, made way and the red
banded, poke bonnet of the consul came
through.
The trombone lifted up its voice two
octayes, the brass band developed its last
possibility of rolling thunder, and the lads
and Iasses OF the army broke into such
halleluiahs as left no doubt that the forts
OF Satan had come down.
The consul simply smiled and waved
her handkerchief.
When 1t had died down ard BrgadIer
Keppel could be heard, he said 81 wonder
what they think of this in heaven?u
Brigadier Keppel explained that the
consul was really very sick woman and
had risen from sick bed TO come to this
meeting He hoped that she might not
be too severely taxed; said he himself had
advised her against coming here, but ne
could not prevail. The extraordinary ex-
ertions that this journey had demanded
of her. the constant travelling and speak
ing had overtaxed her physical resources.
and she was now suffering from severe
attack of the grip, for her speedy release
from the effects OF which every soldier of
the army would join praying.

a handsome old-style house, ''lived

down there is the modest printing office

whence he graduated to become leading

AS the promenade continued around the

of the visitor to other old residences.
