Aurae as Bathing Costumes.
Chicago Post.


We cannot too heartily commend the po-
lice for vigorously making examples of our
theosophical brethren who persist in bath
ing along the shore in Lakeview attired in
the main in their spiral aurae. Sister T.
SAINT who is precise to point of finicN-
ness, is greatly scandalized by this msin-
terpretation of theosOphical teaching and
while she admits that an aura is always
handy and often an emblem of great purity
and dignity it is not all sufficient for ma
terial purposes. The residents of Lakeview
are Justly accounted among our very wor-
thiest people and they complain that the
bathers are not bonafide citizens of that
desirable section of the town, but are
"hoaters' from the South and West sides.
who defy public decency and scOrn an out
ragged public sentiment It has now reached
a pass where Lakeview ladies, going up the
Lake Shore drive, are compelled to pull
down the east curtains of their carriages.
while the gentle girls on the wheel have
been forced to resort TO binders. This is
a deplorable state of affairs and We urge
the police to renewed cXertons. Let it
be understood that spiral aurae will not
be held as adequate clothing FOR bathing
purposes in the lake until after dark and
twenty-five feet from an electric light.

In better condition to resist the Spanish
army than they were six months ago. This
is due in part to the breaking down of the
Spanish army by disease, the lack of prop
er food and the absence Of discipline The
Insurgents, on the other hand, have more
men than six months ago and their army
has gained in discipline and spirit. It is
said that the situation has so changed dur
ing the past few weeks that Gomez. instead
of avoiding any considerable collisions, is
the aggressor More than ever Weyler is
content to keep his troops within his forti-
fed lines, which means that he is not at
tempting to suppress the instruction.

Vie June CoIIegian.

The June number of the Butler Collegian
of Butler College, was issued last week. BY
the law and medical departments of the
University of indianapolis taking part in
this, the last Collegian of the year, the
issue of a larger number and one more rep
resentative of the university has been made
feasible. The movement for university
paper was begun this year, but owing to
the failure of some of the departments tc
appoint committees the plan failed.
The June COllegian contains an abstract
from President Buffers baccalaureate adj
dress, an article by Miss Kies poems by
Miss Jessie hr'stian and Miss Mabel lib

A Gentleman's Bible.

New York Commercial Advertiser.
The War Cry this week has an article
about a new version of the Bible, intended
for the use of gentlemen. The man who
prepared it, Rev. Edward Harwood, ID. D.,
found the language of the authorized YER

object was Ito clotne the genuine ideas and
doctrines of the apostles with that pro-
priety and perspicuity which they them
selves would have exhibited had they now
lived and written in our language" and he
believed ito diffuse over the sacred page the
elegance of modern English might allure

too generally neglected.

IT would have been we'll for ex-senator
Reagan. of Texas. to have remained silent
in regard to the statements of Henry Wat
terson to the effect that President Lincoln
was in favor of paying for the slaves as
condition of peace and the restoration of
the Union in February and March, 1863 1t
is not to be inferred that Mr.. Lincoln did
not favor that plan because he did not
openlv make the offer TO the Confederate
commissioners who met him in March, 1862
at Fortress Monroe. When, however, Mr..
Watterson quotes the official papers OF
Abraham Lincoln showing that he favored
the payment of the former owners of slaves
and suggested $780, 900, 900 as the amount nee
essary for that purpose, he makes case.
1t matters not that the scheme of Mr.. Lin
coin was not urged, since it was discovered
that even if his Cabinet would have favored
it. the controlling element of the South
Jefferson Davis, would not listen to any
suggestion which did not recognize the in
dependence of the Confederate States
Even if Mr.. Lincoln had made such an offer
to the Southern leaders at that time, they
would not have permitted the people of that
section, weary of the war and with little
faith in Southern success, to have known
it. Now that the war is long over, the sur
viving leaders under Davis very naturally
prefer that the people who might have re-
ceived compensation for their slaves
should believe that they failed to do
so because of the folly of the men who
sustained their President. 1t is not worth
any contention now, but Mr.. Waiter
sons prompt publication of Mr.. Lincon's
views as presented to his Cabinet settles
the matter once for all, as his first publ
cation should have done.

The summer school at Butler is now hold
ing it's second annual session. The attend
ance is small, though said to be somewhat
larger than last year. The summer school
is not undertaken by the college, but is left
to the individual direction of such of the
instructors as may choose to carry it on for
the sake of the remuneration from tuition
fees. 1t is to continue six weeks, which is
one-half the length of a college term, and
yet it is intended that double work shall be
done in this time in any subject that may
be undertaken, so as to be counted equal to
a full college terms work in such subject
The school is intended for teachers who
may wish to make special preparation
along certain lines and who cannot attend
during the regular college year, and for
college students who for any reason may
have work to make up. There are classes
this summer in psychology English, Latin
German and history. These are conducted
by regular college instructors, though most
of the faculty are spending the summer
away from IrvingtOn. Professor Thrasher
is at Macatawa Park in Michigan; Profess
sor Ames is visiting friends at Des Moines
Ia. Miss Bridge is at Nation, H.; Profess
sor Forrest is in Chicago, as are also Pro-
fessors Iden and Davis Miss Kies is spend
