HIGH SCHOOL DAY.
The University Entertains the Members of
the High Schools of the State.

The University Entertains the Members OF
the High Schools of the State.
| Today the university introduced the
members of the graduating classes of the
state to the mysteries of college life.
This custom, which was inaugurated
several years ago. has grown to be one
of special importance to the university
and to the guests from the visiting
schools. The number of visitors has
gradually increased in number and rep
reseDtatlon from year to year until now
the three hundred and fifty guests repre-
sent the most important institutions of
the state. The advantage is mutual.
The university is nominally the head of
the educational system of the state and
the introduction of the methods and
scope, to the secondary students, is but a
logical course.
The occasion today was an especially
pleasing one. AT this time of the year
when the spirits of the students are
buoyant and free, and when nature is at
its best, such an affair is apt to be enjoy
ed by the guests and hosts as a huge pic
mic, and such was the case today. Every
one seemed to enjoy himself and that to
the fullest extent.
The special train arrived at 10 a. m.
and the visitors were escorted by the re-
ception committee to the auditorium,
where the following informal program
was rendered:
Welcome-President Baker
Music-The University Banjo Club.
Address, "The University and the
High School"-Prof. Ira M. DeLong.
Musc-The University Glee Club.
Addresses, "The High School and the

County.
Music-The University Mandolin Club.
The Professional Schools-Arthur NJ
Nye, Law. 90.
The College of Liberal Arts-Wilson
M. Shafer, Arts, 'oS.
Hymn-"America."
After the program was completed the
visitors spent the morning in looking
over the grounds and buildings.
Tea was served in the art rooms by the
Young Woman's League.
After luncheon was served in the
scientific building and cottage No. I, the
guests were at freedom to scatter, which
they did, Inspecting the city and neigh

flying the cravings of all comers.
The occasion was immensely enjoyed
by all and was such as to warrant its
annual recurrence a source of great
pleasure to the high schools OF the state
and the college students.

farewell cheers and ye!ls of the enter
tainers and entertained, The committees
on reception were, Mr.. Rubidge, Mr..

penetratedsthe large toe. The foot, which
had been torn off above the ankle, was
bare and mutilated Ligaments which had
been torn from the upper portion Of the
limb and remained attached to the foot in
dismen berment were twisted around the
blood-stained trucks of the sleeper. The
police believe that a man had been tied
to the railroad trucks, his feet spiked to
the ties, and that he had then been left to
meet certain death under the train. On
this theory inquiries are now being made

Opposes the CiviI-service Law.

To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal;
Congressman Faris says that "all Indiana
is in substantial unanimity on the one point
of opposition to the civil-service law" The
Journal editorially says "a majority of the
Congressman Lands and Hemmenway have
also lately said that they and their con-
stituents were opposed to the law. Which
are most likely to be correct in their ex-
preston of the public sentiment upon this

Congress or the dictum of the Journal edi-
tor, whose position is in no way affected by
his expression on the subject? In this city
the voters. irrespective of party, are OPP
posed to the ciyil-service law. and but one
OF the four newspapers published here is in
favor of it, and the editor of that one seems
to follow in the wake of the late George
William Curtis, the pioneer advocate of
ciVil-serYice reform, whose political moral
ity was so beautifully illustrated by his
boiling the presidential nomination of his
party in 1884 in the convention of which he
sat as a delegate. Has it not frequently oc-
Cured and likely to again, that even edi-
tors of great metropolitan journals, as we'll
as those of the provinces have been mis-
taken as to what public sentiment is? But
one congressman from Indiana, so far as
heard from is in favor of the law, and he
not likely to be renominated. II the ques-
ton could be submitted to o vote of the
people the result would show who most cor
rectly voices the sentiment of "all Indi-
ana" the congressman or the editor. The
writer believes he correctly represents the
largely prevailing sentiment in this locality,
that the law ought to be repealed or great
~ modified, and that the people here will
heartily support Mr.. Lands in his efforts
in that direction. OBSERVER.

GREELEY's AMBITION.
Always Desired Office, but Would Not
Ask for 1t.

New York Letter in Philadelphia Press.
The "reminiscences and correspondence
with famous men which Senator Morrill,, of
Vermont, is publishing in one of the maya
zines has caused a good deal of reminis-
cent interest here, and the letter which Hor-
ace Greeley once wrote to Senator Morrill,
IN which Greeley complains that he has
ThurloW Weed, has revived the interest in
the old controversy which was so exciting
topic to the politicians at the time Greeley
broke away from the partnership, as he
called it, of Seward, Weed & Greeley. That
break and the resentment which is in Gree
ieys heart was of important national con-
sequence since it led Greeley to oppose the
nomination of Seward for President in 1860
thus, in some measure, aiding those who
hoped for the nomination of Mr.. Lincoln.
Some of the veterans who had part in or
knowledge of the quarrel between Greeley
on the one side and Seward and Weed on
the other, were discussing a day or TWO ago
this latest evidence of Greeley's resentment
which Senator MorrilPs interesting remin-
lscences made public. One of these men said
that he once was in conversation with Thur
low Weed and asked him why it was that
Greeley had become angry with Seward and
himself Mr.. Weed replied that for the life
of him he had never been able to under
stand. He thought that Greeley was entirely
satisfied, as he ought to have been, with the
influence which he exercised as editor of the
But said Mr. Weed, st once asked a
gentleman who was very intimate with
Greeley If he could explain what the cause
for Greeley's resentment was, and he told
me that Greeley was probably the most
ambitious man in America for places of
public honor. He was greedy for Office and
he felt that office ought to have been ten
dered to him without asking for it. In all
the time that 1 was intimate with Mr..
Greeley / never dreamt that he had such
desires nor did Governor Seward. If he had
in the slightest way intimated that he
wanted an office we would have crushed
him with offices heaped one on top of an
other"
Thus Weed spoke and there seemed to
be some regretful remembrances of that
lost opportunity which if it had been seized
might have spared Mr.. Weed the crown
ing defeat of his life, the only great one
which he met with, the refusal of the Re-
publican convention of 1860 to nominate Mr..

The injunction against the theatrical
syndicate preventing it from interfering
with 1899" at the New York Casino has
been dissolved. 1899 seems to be dy-
ing a natural death.
Contrary to general belief royalty does
not possess the privilege of free admission
at the theaters. When the Prince Of Wales,
for instance, visits the theater, the expendi-
ture for box hire alone amounts to eco.
This is an unwritten law at court, whether
the. theater boasts of a royal box or not
With one or two exceptions the royal box
is not reserved exclusively for royalty, and
it can be hired by anyone who cares to pay
the price-about twice as much as is
charged for the private boxes The excep-
lions are the Theater Royal, Drury Lane,
the italian opera and Haymarket Theater.
Although the royal box is open to the pub
lie very few of those who can afford it care
to occupy it, The upper ten shun it,
for to be seen in that box is to be stigma
tized as rank outsider, nouveau richie,
or foreigner who knows no better.
