 form Suit.

Tucson, Ariz, Oct. 22.-(Special Cor respondence of The Republican, 1.-The students who are not fortunate enough to possess bicycles are anXiously watching developments in the street railway that will connect the univer- sity with the old pueblo. It is not to be wondered at, as the long dusty walk is by no means desirable.
 Robert F. Luce of Yuma returned last week to complete his unfinished course in chemistry and meIallurgy.
 The Philomathean Literary society last Friday night was very interesting g and we'll attended. It was the first important meeting, and the full at tendance indicated a very prosperous year for literary work.
 ''The Senator" a students papar, made its first appearance for this year. Although at present it is only type written, yet we are looking forward to a time when printed editions will be made and outsiders will have the privilege Of enjoying its wit and wis dom.
 Mrs. La Chance has assumed charge of the boarding department in place of Mrs. Buell., resigned. While I do not wish to cast any reflections upon the old regime, yet I must say that a number of much neaded improve ments have been effected, which are fully appreciated by all the students.
 The usual Wednesday morning lec- ture was given by Col N. H. Barnes. To prevent any exaggeration that time IS so apt to lend to stories of personal adventure, he explained that his lec- ture would. consist of an article writ ten by himself shortly after the ex- perience occurred. The subject of the article was an annual religious festi- val witnessed by himself in Constanti- nOple. The revolting and exciting scenes so minutely depicted, claimed the attention of all, and 1t is needless to say were greatly enjoyed. Col. Barnes is undoubtedly able to tell a great number of stories of personal adventure experienced during his years of travel, and his lecture morn- ing from now on will be looked for ward to by all.
 The bids for the uniforms were closed Friday. From reliable sources I get the information that the Petit bone Manufacturing company of Ohio were the lowest bidders. The order for the suits will be placed in a few days. The change from the style adpted last year is very slight and simply consists of the addition of braid upon the sleeves and back. This will relieve the plainness that was so noticeable in the old suits. The new suits will cost in the neigh borhood of $16, but as the quality is the best, the economy in paving a lit tie more is very apparent.
