Captain Swarth was right. Such a
cataclysm as had with three waves
washed a 500-tcn brig over a reef and
almost to the center of an island, could
not but be followed by atmospheric
disturbance. Wind came-a vicious
hurricane-which kept them beneath
their leaky decks. listening to wailings
and screenings in the rigging. and to
the crashing of palm trunks and
branches over their heads. feeling the
sway and the heave of the brig on her
muddy bed with each heavier puff of
the tempest. and passing the day and
following night thus to the accompan-
niments of hunger and thirst. Provi-
sions were spoiled-except the salt
meats. which these free lances could
not eat-and their appetites were only
increased by the lot of good grog

In California last year large quanti-

known as fog building" The newest
and most effective method of prevent

Five methods for removing dust have

THOUGHT AND COMPOSITION.


In addition to his high markings for
thought and composition, William A.
Browns delivery was magnificent. His
voice was strong, clear and musical, and
he was graceful. He won the audience
with his speech. His subject, 1.-The
KinglineSS of a Man. was one which
admitted of eloquence, and the orator
made use of his opportunities.
William A. Brown is a resident of
Kansas City, Mo. He has attended Ba-
ker university for five years. He is
studying for the ministry. BY his elo-
quence last night he is entitled to the
honor of representing Kansas in the in
terstate OratoricaI contest, to be held at
Columbia. Mo-, May 10. Ten states take
part in this.
Washburn college received second
place and Kansas university third.
These decisions seemed to be Satisfac-
tory to the audience. The Lawrence
students had expected a better grade,
and the Missionaries did better than
they had hoped they could do.
There are rumors that charges will be
filed against Baker and Washburn,
charging each of the orators with par
allelism of thought. But such an action
will probably be headed off, as it is
considered detrimental 10 entertain any
such action.
There were less noise and disturbance
at the contest than there has been in
the history of the association.
Sergeant Tim Donovan called all of
the day force of police back to the opera
house last evening to maintain order.
there. No disturbance of any kind oc-
CURED, and it may be said to the stu
dents credit that there was not a col
lege man in the house who was under
the influence of liquor. This is step in
advance, and a good one, too.
The other OrationS were interesting.
There was good music furnished by the
Washburn College Glee club, a ladies'
quartette from Baldwin, vocal solos by
Frank House of Lawrence and Miss
Florence Townsley of Topeka, and a
banjo solo by Eddie Farrell of Law
renee.
College colors floated from all parts
of the opera house and nearly all stu
dents had streamers pinned to their
coat lapels and tied to canes.
Most of the students returned to their
respective colleges on late trains last
night. 1t was an enjoyable night. and
the best part of the whole thing was
that there was not a tin horn blown
during the entire evening.
An effort is being made to change the
place of holding the state contest. At
present large price is charged for the
opera house and on this account the
prices for admission have been raised.
If Topeka builds an auditorium then
the contest can be held here and a rea-
sonable price charged for admission. And
the people of Topeka will attend in
large numbers. Ottawa and X. U. are
making strong demands that the con-
test he held at their reSDectiVe places.

THE CROWD ARRIVING.
Washington is Filling Up With or
Gals and Visitors.

Washington, Feb. 27.-The work of the
inaugural committee is rapidly being
brought to a close.
Mr.. Gage, who will relieve Secretary
Carlisle of charge of the treasury de-
partment in a few days, is expected to
arrive here today from Virginia. He
will be the guest of Mr. Bryan On
Rhode Island avenue, until he selects
permanent quarters. Mr.. Bryan will
ening.
Col. McCook of New York will stop at
the Arlington and the new postmaster
general, Mr.. Gary, wife and four daugh-
tiers. have engaged quarters at the Nor
mandie.
Among guests booked for the Willard
are Mrs. Fred Grant and Mrs. General
Grant.
The list of organizations which will
take part in the parade shows conclu-
siVely that in size and popular features
1t will equal or SurpaSS anything of a.
like character seen heretofore in Wash
ington.
The presidents personal escort will
ter the presidents carriage will march
detachment of veterans of the Twenty
third Ohio volunteers. The presidential
party will follow in carriages, and after
them will ride Gen. Granville NJ. Dodge
and staff at the head of the military di-
vision.
The parade necessarily will be a long
one, but by marching the columns at
half distance and in platoonS of II files
each, it is expected that the whole pa
rade will move at the rate of L, 900 an
hour, which will make the whole time
of the parade about three hours.
