THE FACULTY SNUBBED.
University Of Chicago Students
Have Jolly Time at a Banquet
Ignore the Established Custom of In
viting the Professors to At
tend-Reason for the
Action.

University of Chicago professors have
been snubbed. Fourgcore graduate stu
dents of the institution have accom-
plished this task. Purposely ignoring
custom established four years ago,
the graduates at their annual banquet
at the Windermere last night saw to
it that none of the dignitaries with
titled positions was present to enjoy
the bounty of the occasion. This was
effected by a predetermined decision,
for none of the instructors, not even
President Harper himself, was accorded
the honor of receiving an invitation.
Atprevious banquets the officials thus
SO ingloriously ignored have been prom
inent guests. Their attendance, how
ever, has made necessary programmes
of festivities which, it now develops,
have not been ut all to the liking of a
large number of the students. The func-
ton has perforce been q grave and seri-
Gus affair, and the exercises have con-
sisted chiefly of lengthy dissertations
on stock aud threadbare subjects by
important lecturers.
Six weeks ago the annual fcte was
proposed. Shortly after a meeting was
called to perfect arrangements. At
once the storm broke. The dissatisfied
element made known in no uncertain
terms their feelings in regard to the
matter and asserted that future ban
quets must assume a different aspect.
Dissatisfaction, however, was by no
means unanimous, for contingent of
divinity students and few of the grad
yates flocked to the standard of the
officials. The machine, however, came
out ahead. \ toastmaster proposed by
the faculty friends was renowned. In
his stead S. j. McLane was chosen to
fulfill the honors of that position. His
election was indorscd with cheer.
Winning in this way the first point at
issue, it was easy for the majority after
that. The banquet was to be Il happy
iolliiication, not a programmed lecture
with some catablcs thrown in. Fac
ulty men, it was decided, should not
be invited.
at last" said conspirator, last
evening, 1--WE have broken away from
the apron strings of our overseers and
are having royal good time without
them" 1t was apparent that the ban
quet was being enjoyed to the utmost,
Songs were rendered for the first time
in four years. Jokes. jibes and hearty
good feeling prevailed. After the re-
ccption, from eight to nine o'clock,
the assembly adjourned to the banquet
hall, where selected speakers had fun
with everybody, faculty included, in
number of appropriate toasts.

TO THE POINT.
Dick's Remark After the Accident
He'd Nnppencl.

DiclS's Remark After the Accident
Hnd Happened.
One of the men employed in Il GER
tain Yorkshire stone quarry is man OF
few words. Indeed, his popularity with
his mates has been attributed TO the
fact that Dick could never spare enough
words to get up Il decent quarrel with
anyone, says Clips.
The other day a huge block of stone,
weighing several tons, was being raised
by means of a steam crane. When near
the top the chain suddenly gave way.
Dick was at work GO feet below when
Tie accident occurred. Fortunately he
realized his danger, though only just
in time, and gprang from the ledge on
which he stood to another at some dis
tancc.
y second later and the huge block was
broken into a thousand pieces on the
solid bed of stone.
Trembling in every limb, the owner
of the quarry, who had witnessed the
affair, hurried TO where Dick was stand-l
ing and seized him by the hand.
whatever would have happened if
you had delayed your leap a second,
Dicll?" he gasped.
The workman glanced back at the
heap of debris on the ledge.
~ funeral" he replied, coolly Selling
his pick and preparing to resume work.

MIR. HANNA'S PLACE.

Mr.. Hanna will not be a Senator OF
unlimited oratory, and unless his mem
tai habits change will not be found
one of those Who block the business Of
the country by countless and endless
speeches. He is man quite able TO
say what he thinks without great eT-
penditure of words. More important is
the fact that what he thinks is gener-
ally worth public consideration. SO
much, at least the people Of the whole
country have learned from the phenNm-
enal management of the PresidentMl
campaign, first for the nomination, and
then for the election of Mckinley, un-
der circumstances of extraordinary diff
ficulty The opposition to the nomina-
tion took peculiar form. The boiling
of silver men and the outbreak of Alt
geldism made the campaign in many
respects the most perpleXing the cOun-
try had ever seen. 1t was not race
along beaten road, but the path had
to be cut from the first through obstu
cles hitherto untried.
Mr.. Hanna taught the country that
in knowledge of public questions, per-
ception of the most effective way Of
treating them, understanding of men
and ability to combine and direct the
efforts of many, he had few equals.
And everybody knows that these are
exactly the qualities which may be in
the highest degree valuable to the Sen
ate. The tremendous power Of Speaker
Reed in the House has been due only
in small measure to his gifts of oratory,
much as those have been priced 10y his
friends in many sharp debates Far
more important have been his ready
perception of the tendencies of public
opinion, his clear understanding of the
practical bearing of measures proposed,
and his faculty of enlisting the conyic-
tions of others and getting things done.
AS a practical business man of great
experience, Mr.. Hanna is sure to be a
most useful member of the Senate,
even though inexperienced in the
rules.-New York Tribune.

rHlRrY-rwo CHILDREN.
a vienna Woman Holds the Mnterni-
ty Record for Austria.

ty RECORD for Austria.
If any woman ever deserved we'll OF
her country, the lady. in question is a
Viennese who has just been described
by DR.. Alois Valenta in the Wiener
Medicinische Wochenscrift. Her mer-
it's consist in having given many more
subjects and soldiers to the emperor
than any of his female subjects OF
course she is poor. AS a matter of fact,
she is the wife of a needy linen weaver
of Neuerchenfeld, in Vienna, and, if she
did not give her husband q big mar
riage portion, she presented him with
no less than 80 children, and she is still
comparatively young, being only in her
fortieth year. She has been themother
of &c boys and girls.
The birth of the 80 childrenioccurred
in this wise, and in the following or
der: At the first birth were born four;
Mt the second, three; at the third,
four; at the fourth, two; at the fifth,
three; at the sixth, two; at the seventh,
three; at the eighth three; at the
ninth, two; at the tenth, three, and at
the eleventh three. The mother nursed
all her children herself. Another
strange. feature of the case is that the
mother suffered from her fifteenth
year weekly, and sometimes daily, from
epileptic fits, which so far have not
been inherited by the children. She
herself was one of four at birth, and
her maternal parent in her time sue
ceeded in presenting her spouse with no
less than SO children.

A FlSH'S MEMORY.
German Professor Wants Informa-

We have to live such busy, cyclopaedic
lives nowadays that it is very delightful
sometimes to turn aside into some quiet
corner and watch IA specialist at work,
says the Westminster Gazette. 1t may
be only the eye of a fly or the digestive
apparatus of caterpillar, but he de-
votes his life to it and thinks nothing of
all the noise and human struggles 60
ing on outside. y German professor,
Ludwig Edingcr, is absorbed at present
in the question: "IIave fish memory ~
and he has written to the Lancet to in
yite information on the subject. 1t
may seem n trivial question and the
brain of Il fish maybe a very small guam
tity, but a great many little thing in
nature are worth studying, and even ii
the problem cannot be solved it will
give a good opening for fish stories.
Every disciple of Izaak Walton will
have something to say and anecdotes
TO tell to back his opinions. There are
10 fish in the noighborhood Of Fleet
street. and. therefore. we cannot try
experiments, and the only contribution
we can make to the discussion is to ask
why anglers have to be so particular
about the make and color of their arti-
fetal flies if fish have no memory. If
fish have vision withouta sense of mem-
ory surely they would never discrim-
mate between Il May fly and red
spinner and anglers would be saved
