Mr.. R. w. Post, 'oo, and Miss
Helen Post, gave a delightful little
home affair to a number of their Col
lege friends last Saturday night. Mr..
and Miss Posts mother and brothers
and sister have joined them here and
will on account of the college advant-
ages make this their future home.
That they understand the art of enter
tanning was shown to the satisfaction
of those present at their recent party.
The Athenian Quartette went down
to Bakers Creek last Saturday, to
take part in the Decoration Day SER
vices. They were accompanied by
several other college students. The
quartette sang both at the exercises
in the church and in the grove And
made quite hit on each occasion.
The hospitable people of Bakers
Creek made the stay of the college
party very pleasant indeed.
A few members of the Hot time
Club: Weary Walker, now known as
"Is Whiskers', Gator Bill Johnston,
Magnus Vir George, Filthy Ernest,
Tanglefoot Tracy and Scaly Erwin
took Walkers Moustache, Wander
bilts and Imperial out to Look Rock
last week. They tented high and
dry upon the "Mountain top tip top"
two nights and succeeded in getting
wet-very wet. The whiskers are
much benefited.
The Alpha Sigma Quartette was
invited to sing at the Decoration at
Carpenters Camp Ground on Satur-
day, May 20.
The exercises were very good.

talk on Recognition" Prof H. A.
Golf delivered an interesting and
effective address on the subject "The
Object of Decoration.
Miss Mary Carnahan 'oo, rendered
very pleasant reception to the men,
bers of the SeEior Glass on last Mon
day evening. The members were
there in cred and White" and indeed,
had most delightful evening. Deli
cious refreshments were served and
much enjoyed. The eventful occas.
ion passed off in "peace and safety
without stone being tossed to make
the Seniors hurry home.
On last Wednesday evening the
Schubert Quartette assisted by Mr..
Neil and Miss Taylor, all of Chicago,
gave the best concert ever given in
Maryville. Their singing was very
fine, and the impersonation of Mr..
Neil can scarcely be surpassed.
The Quartette is composed of first
class men and sustain their reputation
wherever they 60. The audience on
Wednesday evening was charmed
from the first to the last selection.
The Prayer Meeting on Tuesday
evening was conducted by the Senior
Class. H. S. Lyle led the meeting.
Talks were made by Miss Ethel
Kennedy, Mary Cary Carnahan and
Rose Lyle and Messrs Magill and

sidering the matter resolutions were
adopted disbanding the Building As
sociation and transferring its franchises
and subscriptions to the Young Mems

and was quite warm affair A fine
holiday was granted by the grace Of
the faculty and the college turned
out en- masse. The morning was de-
voted to the tennis tournament. The
participants in the singles were Messrs
Robert Phanze, ]. Wallace, Turnbull
and John E. Tracy. Mr.. Turnbull
the winner of the first set took the
court with Mr.. Tracy and after an en-
counter in which some very superior
tennis was played lost the set. Mr..
Tracy secured the first prize, very
fine racquet, and a second was award
ed to Turnbull as winner of the first set.
The Afternoon was devoted to the
track athletes, in which appeared
some of our brawny and fleet footed
sons of the stadium. The work in the
main was of fist class order,
one or two records being broken.
The jumping, vaulting and hammer
throwing were especially interesting.
The mile run was record breaker,

Railroad Commission Has Heard
Nothing From Interested Lines.
The representatives Of the st. Paul
& Duluth. the Minneapolis & st. Louis.
and the Minneapolis, New Ulm &
Southwestern, who asked the railway
commissioners for a week in which to
confer regarding the publication and
enforcement Of the new hard coal rates
from Duluth to New Ulm, failed yes
terday to appear before the board, and,
as it was the last day Of grace, the
commissioners late yesterday after
noon issued another order requiring
the railroad companies to comply with
their original order, and gave them
until March 20 to agree upon joint
rates based upon the rates prescribed
by the commissioners.
If the railroad companies fail to fol-
low the commissions instructions, the
commission will promptly take steps
OF require obedience to its orders. This
may require lengthy litigation.
Representatives Of the railroad COM
panies question the authority Of the
commission to fix joint tariff rates.
They say the commission may only
say what one road shall do, but the
commissioners claim that they are re-
quired by the laws to fix joint rates
when such matters are involved.

CUBAN DISAFFECTION.

Americans and Each Other.
HAVANA, March 4.-The Cuban as
.sem6y has requested the newspaper
men Of Havana, upon their honor as
Journalists and good, patriotic Cubans,"
not to publish anything they may learn
regarding the assembly's secret SEES
sions. thinking that public knowledge
Of what 1t ia doing may be used against
the assembly in it's subsequent deal
ings with the United States" This, it
Is claimed, shows that no individual
member of the assembly trusts an
other Last night there was much
mysterious cafe whispering. 1t seems
that portion of the time during the
sessions Of the assembly is spent in
insulting Americans and Gen. Gomez
and personal collisions between the
members; They, also, it is added, ac-
cuse each other of accepting brides
from the United States. which accu-
sations are followed by threats of
duels
In addition to this, the Cuban as
semblymen consider that the planting
Of Gen. Fitzhugh Lees Flagstaff four
meters deep in the ground is a sure
sign Of the continuance of the Amer
lean occupation Of the island. These
reports, arising from the prolonged and
boisterous secret sessions. have made
the doings Of the Cuban assembly the
joke of Havana.
La Quasima issued an extra based
on the speeches of Messrs Sewall and
White in the senate, declaring the
eventual1ty of war between the United
States and Cuba. 1t says:
1T IL ominous that the senate has decreed
to exterminAte the Fdlipinos The United
States, encouraged by the asserted Victories
in the Philippines, may inaugurate the same
policy in Cuba. 1t behooves all Cubans to
be ON the alert. Let the watchword be
alert"
Many rumors discreditable to the
American military authorities are
quickly repeated. An example cited is
that Of Gen. Ludlow, commanding Ha-
vana. has just bought harnesses val
ued at $1,000 for his personal use,
chargeable to the Cuban taxes. Obvi-
Qusly this is untrue. Still it Is averred
that the army Of occupation is paid for
by Cuba's customs.

NEWS OF RAILROADS
NORTHWESTERN MEN ARE DISAP-
POINTED OVER THE FAIL
URE OF CONGRESS
TO PASS THE ANTI-SCALP LAW
Ihe House Had Passed 1t, but 1t
Met With Opposition in the Sem
ate and Died There-Fight VIII
Conn issiOners Going to New
York to Take Testimony.

Northwestern railroad men are dis
appointed that congress adjourned
without passing the anti-scalping bill.
The bill went through the house. but
1T met a snag in the senate and was
lost in the mass of legislation arising
from the Spanish war.
The anti-scalping bill was one of the
most important pieces of legislation
proposed at the past session and the
fact that 1t passed the house encour-
aged railroad men to believe 1t would
be passed by the senate and receive
the presidents signature. The railroad
companies spent many thousand of dol
lars In the agitation against the scalp
ers. and now they will be obliged to go
to work all over again with the next
congress.
The scalpers in the meantime may
be able to summon up enough strength
In the house to defeat the passage of
a bill against them, and thus bring the
work of the railroad companies to
naught.
Until congress makes 1t a misdemean-
or for scalpers to ply their trade they
Will exist and prey upon the railroads,
and as long as they do exist railroads
cannot maintain standard passenger
rates. 1t was hoped by the railroad
companies that congress would place
upon the scalpers ban similar to that
which is upon them in Canada. There
Is not a railroad ticket scalper in the
Dominion. for 1t Is a criminal offense
there to scalp railroad tickets. The
proposed law would have accomplished
as drastic a reform in the United
States.
Another measure in which railroad
men were interested was the proposed
bill to permit railroad companies to
pool. This bill failed even Of introduce
ton, on account of a master stroke Of
inactivity. $
The proposition to reduce the COM
pensation to railroads for carrying the
United States mail was another scheme
which failed to materialize. The con-
gressional committee which was ap-
pointed to investigate the subject held
| several sessions in Chicago and else
where and heard many able arguments,
principally against the proposition. but
| did not make report to either house Of
congress. Consequently no plan was
formulated. It is understood that the
committee was continued and will be in
a position to report It's recommended
tions to the next congress.

Therefore our present representatives in

these people shall have the right to organize
and establish government of their own
choosing, and that America will render all

NEW YORK, March 4.-The commit
tee having in charge the Jefferson day
banquet, to be given by the New York
Democratic club announces that the
speakers on that occasion will in no
way commit the club or Tammany Hall
to the ideas which may be advanced.
The dinner is not to be policy making
event with expansion as its keynote,
unofficial announcements to the con-
>trary, but all who make addresses will
be free to express their personal views
upon any of the pending. issues. and all
remarks. whether they be upon eXpan-
sion, Imperialism, silver or the gold
standard will be equally welcomed.
This statement has been made be-
cause report became current that the
banquet was to boom expansion. Perry
Belmont. president of the club, having
suggested that representatives be in

tutipg the original Louisiana purchase,
consummated under the Jefferson adj
minStration.
Ridiculous" said Perry Belmont, "as
many of Jefferson's followers in his
own day were against expansion as
for it"
1T was never thought Of" said Rich
ard Croker. The question of eXpan-
sion or anti-expansion has never been
discussed, ana VIII not be unless by
individuals.
Such questions as expansion or anti
expansion, free silver or gold standard
have not been considered in getting up
the dinner. and will not be. All the best
known Democrats Of the country will
be invited as Democrats"
The board of governors has done con-
siderable work toward making the ban
quet a success. Judge Dugro sent his
own architect over to examine the Met
ropolitan opera house. and received
report that the building will hold 1850
guests at tables, but that by a slight
change $50 more can be added. One
hundred more can be accommodated by
utilizing side rooms.
1t has been decided to reserve the
boxes and the first balcony for women
and other visitors. Five hundred seats
will be set apart. These will be sold at
auction. 1t was Mr.. Croker who sug-
gested this idea as there was no other
way to dispose of the places which
would not bring heartburnings and
jealousies. Ices. cakes and other re-
freshments will be served in these
boxes.
The Democratic club will have to
rent the Metropolitan opera, house for
the entire week, and that will cost
