FORTNIGHTLY CLUB.
Meeting held at the residence of
Col. and Mrs. Fast.

Dante was the Subject OF discussions
Twenty new members taken In Prof.
Mckenzie opened the Discussions
Rev. Winecofr, Judge johnson and
Mrs. Raymond speak under general
discussion.
The Fortnightly Club met at the
home of Professor and Mrs. Fast
Friday evening. The pleasant par
Tors were filled, probably seventy
five people being present The mem
bership committee presented the
names of twenty people for member
ship, who were voted upon and &C
cepted. This brings the member
ship of the club up to about eighty
persons
Prof Mckenzie opened the pro
gram Of the evening, and gave
most entertaining and instructive
talk on Dante. He sketehed in brief
outline the history of Italian poetry
up to Dante's time, and showed how
it reached its highest point within
hundred years of its beginning, and
has never reached that level since
Dante stands as the greatest figure
in Italian literature, towering above
all others in gloomy grandeur.
At tue close of Prot. Mckenzie's
talk, the discussion was opened by
Rev. Winecotf, who said that Dante's
theology was modern That his I'm
ferno'' and ePurgatory" were to be
understood as teaching in the most
effective way, that is to be allegory,
the truth that ssin is death, or that
every sin committed carries with il
its punishment.
Judge johnson was the next
speaker, and said that Dante mis-
represented God, that he made God
revengeiul, rel aing in the pain OF
his creatures, while God is all love
and compassion, and the suffering
which human beings have to bear
is all brought ON themselves because
they will not be right.
At the end of Judge Johnson's
remarks, Mrs Raymond spoke of
Dantes social and political life.
She gave vivid picture of the sad,
lonely Florentine. She said that
Dante was brave and fearless in pol
itics, and patriotic in the extreme,
banishing his best friend because he
believed it necessary to the welfare
of Florence. He loved Florence with
passion only second to his love for
Beatrice.
This closed the literary program,
which was followed by some dainty
refreshments, furnished by the
hostess, and the Club broke up at a
late hour, feeling that they had
spenta most delightful and profita
Bile evening.

LAW CLASS ELECTION.
Col. James c. Frazer is elected unani-
mously for president-0ther officers
Moot court organized.

The law class Of the University
held its annual election yesterday.
This is one of the most important
elections of the year at the college
and the lawyers are usually very much
interested in it. However this time
there was no contest on for president
and James G. Frazer of Martinsburg
was chosen president unanimously.
Robert White was chosen vice pres
ident, Ed. ANDERSON, secretary and
Richard WEIGH was elected treasurer
The officers of the moot court were
appointed. This was done differently
to the way in which it is usually done
and there will be different prosecu-
tor for each month of the rest of the
year.
The court will get down to work at
once and later in the year they will
give several of their public trials
which have proven so interesting in
the last few years.

HOME AGAIN.
Chan Sing Back after Visit to
China.

He was away Nearly Year-A Hot
Time in the Old Country while He
was There-Some very Interesting
xperience-Detained in San Fran
cisco for Nearly Two Months until He
Coull show That He had Right to
Come into the Country.
Chan Sing is back in Morgantown
after an absence of nearly a year
during which he was in China. He
has been here for several years and
is universally liked being one of the
most respectable members of his
race He is native of Detroit and
is in consequence an American citi-
zen
Last year he decided that he
would 90 to China to visit his faith
er who had returned there and his
other relatives who lived in the
Flowery Kingdom. His visit lasted
for nearly year during which time
he visited. many parts OF the Empire
and had fine large time. Many
stories of the wonders to be seen in
this country were related to the open
mouthed celestials by Chan Sing
and it is safe bet that none of
them lost anything in the telling.
Most of the time was spent in
Canton although trips were taken
into many parts of the Kingdom.
The return to San Francisco took
a month and when he arrived there
he was arrested by the custom house
authorities before he could leave
ship. They thought he was ma
tive Chinaman and that he was try
ing to get into this country in def
ance Of law.
Chan knew what to do SO he wrote
to the people here who knew him
and they prepared affidayits to the
effect that he was a native Of this
country and entitled to admission as
any other citizen and after delay
of two months he got away to come
home
OF course he did not like this part
of the experience very much but he
is glad to be back at Morgantown.
Chan is very industrious and en-
terprising fellow and is very much
more intelligent than the average
member of his race and he is quite
popular over town. Nearly every
one knows him and they are glad to
see him back again.

WANT A BUILDING.
Salvation army wants permanent winter
CONGRATULATIONS don't want any
and have filed counter petition more
with council.

Will GVuHGtis
The Salvation Army wants TO erect
building on the Fenton Rice lot
where they have held forth all sum
mer and to continue their meetings
there this winter. The people living
in that section of town have had
plenty of the noisy methods Of the
army and they have gone before coun-
Gil with petition praying that the
army be restrained from erecting any
building
Council hung up the application
and the petition and they have not
yet decided what they will do. No
one wants to deprive any sect Of the
right to worship God as it pleases
them but the army has been a great
nuisance with their drums and other
instruments Of torture with which
they keep up great crowd until late
at night The people living In the
neighborhood say that they cannot
sleep and that the students rooming
with them cannot study for the
rumpus.
The army is determined to have the
permit and say that they will take. it
in to all sorts Of courts If they have to
but what they will be successful
The outcome OF the scrap is being
watched with interest and great
deal Of fun is being had out Of it by
disinterested parties.

A we'll known young man about

The P0stmaster's Fault.

One of our exchanges very intel
ligently remarks that "the life of a
village postmaster is by no means
one of pleasure and the following
rules posted by the official in the
office of neighboring town are to
the point: mo letters will be de-
livered until they are received. If
you don't get a letter or paper on
the day you expect, have the post
master look in all the boxes and
down in the cellar also. It ought to
be there somewhere and he likes to
hunt for it to please you. If your
friends don't write, cuss the post
master He is to blame. If he
tells you there is no mail for you put
on a grieved expression and say -
there ought to be some y He is
probably hiding your mail for the
pleasure of having you call for it
two or three times day. Ask him
to look again.

FROM a remark ] overheard on the
street the other day am led to
believe that some people imagine
still that George Riddles coming to
Morgantown is nothing exception
al and that he would probably be
heard at Grafton and Charleston.
Can it be possible that any of the
New DOMINION readers are so blind
to what is going on as that? Nobody
ever heard of George Riddle reading
outside of the largest cities, except
at Ithaca, where he reads before the
Cornell students. He reads no where
else, except in New York, Boston,
Chicago, San Francisco, and cities
of that class. He comes here direct
from stay of three weeks in Chica-
go. Nothing would bring him here
but the University; he always en-
joys reading before an audience OF
college men and women and the SUI
perior audiences of college towns.
He even sacrifices sometimes to do
so; certainly he comes here for just
two thirds of his usual price. Don't
miss him.

BACKING THE CAAuTAuQUA.

The University Regent. Turn Over the
Buildings to the Association.
AT meeting OF the university regents
yesterday afternoon, it was formally de-
cided to submit two propositions to the
management of the Chautauqua associa.
tion in regard to the use of the university
buildings by the latter. The first propo
sition allowed the use of the library and
buildings, the association to furnish the
janitors, collect the dues and to assume
the responsibility for the preservation
and care of the premises; the second
contemplated the management of the
buildings, collection of dues, etc, by the
university regents. The latter PROPOSE.
ton was accepted by Mr.. Hlrshfeld for
the association and, with certain restric-
tions, the buildings will be turned over
to the use of the association hereafter.
This action was taken by FIVE out of six
of the board-Messrs. Temple, Ander
son, Orange, Pfeiffer and Richards being
present. The arrangement is highly sat
isfactory to Mr.. Hirsh6eld. and is re
garded as an extremely generous and
patriotic action on the part of the regents.
