have been met with the reply that it

that the party in power is afraid to do

ever, they are anxious to do it but have
thus far been afraid to say so. They
want Just this kind of an organization.
If we stand behind them and demand

STILL ANOTHER STORY.
Senator Eessin Gives Another Reason
for the Row at Manhattan.

Senator John 2. Hessin of Manhat-
tan, who is looking after the interests
of the American Book company, of
which he is the general attorney in
Kansas, at the letting of contracts for
books by the state school book commits
sioners, says that the principal reason
why Regent c. 3. Hoffman was espe-
cia1Iy active in the removal of some
of the members of the faculty at the
state agricultural college is because
two of Hofman's sons We're expelled
owing to some difficulty with Prof. Ma
son of the department of horticulture.
One of the boys apOlogized and was
taken back. The other refused to apoI-
Ogize and did not return to school"
Prof. Mason" continued Mr.. Hessin,
was dismissed on account of general
inef1iciency. Not in the work OF man
aging his department. but in the task
of mana ging HOffman's boys"
Mr.. Hoffman is responsible for the
principal part of this shaking up re
marked Mr.. HeSSin, and his action was
entirely the result of personal antagOn-
ism against the members Of the faculty
engendered by the necessity of strin-
gent measures which We're adopted to
compel his two sons to conform to the
rules and regulations Of the school"
Senator Hessin then turned to the
craftsmanship which was said to have
existed in the administration of the af-
fairs of the institution by the presi-
dent and members of the faculty.
1T is true" he said, that Republi-
can students were provided with passes
to go homo to vote, but that was at
tended to by the members of the county
and state central committee at Manhet-
tan. We looked after those boys. They
attended our meetings and we secured
the passes for them to go home to vote.
None of the officers or teachers in the
college had the slightest connection
with that matter and should not be
charged with the responsibility of such
action

The novel at present overshadows in
the number of its constituents all other
forms Of literature; hence many write
novels who are as untitled for the task
as Marlowe was for the state. What
made George Meredith a novelist except
the demand for prose fiction? He is
dramatist, a poet. a philosopher; but he
has never learned how to write a novel
Mrs. Ward is a thoughtful woman, with
a critical and hortatory cast of mind; and
she is as innocent of knowledge of the
art OF novel-writing as a babe unborn.
No ray of creative genius has ever
adorned her serious pages, and it is sad
to reflect that in no other age than ours
would the idea of fiction-making have
occurred to her. The OSCILLATION of Mar
celia is the only scene in the life of that
irritating girl that ony one can remem-
Der. We shall soon be wondering why

compares a self-made novelist like Mrs.
Ward with a born novelist like Turgeniet
or Thomas Hardy one sees with a wax
ing surprise the charm that separates
industry from genius. The novel suffers
severely from its very predominance.

New York, May 5.-Five thousand

IN sHAKEsPEARE's WORDS.
Delivered by Mrs. Edith Goodrich
Hughes, President of the
Shakespeare Club

The Shakespeare club extended a
welcome in an address taken in entire
ty from Shakespeare writings. 1t was
one of the best things of the evening
and is in part as follows:
Friends, Romans and club women,
lend me your ears. whilst I, distilled al
most to jelly with the act of fear, as
sumo a virtue, if have it not, and bid
you welcome.
In faith you are very welcome to
our place; it must appear on other
ways than words. therefore, I scant
this breathing courtesy which hath be-
come a custom more honored in the
breach than in the observance.
We who have gathered here in a
general honest thought of common good
to all do thereby testify, the head is not
more native to the heart, the hand
more instrumental to the mouth, than
clubs to women. AS for their husbands
club women love them not a jar of the
clock behind the more housekeeping
wits.
1T is notorious that when two are
agreed clubs cannot part them.
The Shakespeare club which greets
you in the words of the divine bard, is
composed Of ten women, some older,
some younger, but none of US as vet so
old she may not learn, nor is there one
of US whom we can say on her nature
nurture can never stick. For now these
three years we have fed of the dainties
that are in a book. we have eat paper,
we have drunk ink, our intellects are
replenished.
But since prafSing my club is too
much like praising myself, I will alIay
with some cold drops of modesty my
skipping spirit, hoping that though
what have spoke may make the un-
sl1illful laugh, it shall not make the ju-
diciOus grieve.
Now, what I speak, though it lack
form a little, is not like Madness or if
it be madness there is method in it,
Although I might have spoken a thou
sand things that would have done the
time more benefit, yet you know 1 am
woman. When 1 think, I must speak
and thereby hangs a tale.
I am convinced that the federation
of clubs is an art as lawful as eating
and drinking. and sure the gods do
this year conEive at US and we may
do anything extempore.
And what is man, or woman either
if the chief good and market of his
time be but to sleep and feed? How
ever, to read and write comes by ma
ture; it is a good gift in those in whom
it is acute.
My gracious lady and my noble
peers you have come here by note to
give and to receive, for society saith
the text is the source of all happiness
And, indeed, these are not Jays of It
ally who knock at the entry, but gentle

women, whose worth and honesty are
richly noted, and thereby justified by
US.
DO you hear? Use them we'll for
they are the abstracts and brief chron-
icles of the time. You were better have
a bad epitaph when you are dead than
their i'll report While you live. Use
them according to your own worth and
dignity. Take them in.
Nov, since it is easy for one with
plentiful lack of wit to speak more in
minute than she can stand to in
month, and since brevity is the soul of
wit, and tediOusness the limbs and
outward fOuriSheS, I do commend you.
If we should meet again, why, we shall
smile

SAVED THE OLD SOLDIERS.
Veterans Guarded From Temptation
by the City Police Force.

Here is a story of the nfght-a story Of
Topeka's slums, of how the old soldiers
were about to be lured away and robbed,
and of how the police took heroic meas
ures in hand to prevent their being rob-
bed.
Yesterday was pension paying day in
Topeka and hundreds of veterans came
here and cashed their checks. Some OF
them went their way quietly and orderly,
while others fingered to have .'just one
more good time before the final roll call"
The habitues of Smoky Row knew wei
that 1t was pension paying day and they
were on the lookout for badges and brass
buttons. They knew full well that there
were those of the battle SCARED heroes
who could not resist temptation, and like
AIephisto in Faust" they delighted in
tempting them.
BY O'Clock last evening there were
many old soldiers in that happy condi-
ton midway between a Jag" and
load" They were wandering about the
streets in reckless abandon, and visiting
Topeka's joints. not to say the open sa-
loon, with frequency.
Chief Steele was apprised of the fact
and with the view of preventing the US
uaI robbing which always occurs on pens
sion day, he ordered all the day patrol
men back for special duty last evening.
The lower part of the city was well
guarded last evening. There We're po-
Hcemen everywhere.
Through the alleys they walked, in the
street, in fact almost everywhere. They
found old soldiers pretty nearly every
where too. Some they escorted to the
depots where they We're assisted in board
ing trains for their homes, others were
turned over to friends. and six, who We're
in danger of being robbed on account of
their intoxicated condition, We're taken
to the police station where they We're all
lowed to sleep off their dissipation and
leave early this morning.
But this is not all There were several
women arrested whom the police had
reasons to think were trying to lure the
veterans away to be robbed. In two
cases the evidence was almost conclusive
to this effect.
Jail docket as a result of the fine large
evening: Carrie Punnen, aged % years.
Daisy Birmingham, % years, Lille
French. Is years, Annie Clay, p years,
Stella Slaughter, 10 years. Martha Allen
dorf, Is years, all colored. and dyra
Pulse. 29 years, white. The charge against
eac hof these women was street walk
ing. All but the Allendorf woman were
fined SO each in police court this morn
ing. Sergeant Owen says that there was
not a single case of robbery of old sOl-
diers reported last night. But not a joint
or a saloon was closed to prevent the old
looms pay for this immunity?
