Many improvement haye been
made during the summer vacation
which added very much to our pleas
ure in returning to the university.
Most noticeable Of all was the new
dormitory and drill hall. This is .
substantial and pleasant looking
brick building Of three stories which
adds much to the general appear
anoe Of the campus. The electric
light plant, the addition to the library
reading room. the new walk to town
and the beautiful new china aud sill
yer ware in our dining hall should be
given no subordinate place in OUT
notes.
The foot hall season has been very
favorable this year and has ended
satisfactorily in all respects. We
have three teams: first, second and
third. The first eleven has played
four games this season, the score in
all cases being in favor Of the. uni.

DAZED GATEKEEPER.

New York Sun: In one of the news
paper composing rooms in this city there
is a typesettng machine operator who
is q great lover of horse racing. A good
share of his wages goes to the book
makers at the local tracks during the
racing season, although for some reason
he never acquired the poolroom habit,
and has always refused to put down
bet unless he was there to see how the
dogs ran" He is fully six feet tall and
weighs about 200 pounds. His size sug-
gested a joke to one of his friends dur
ing the racing season last summer
Going to Sheepshead Bay today?" the
friend asked.
I'D like to, but if I go I won't have
much left to bet with
Il can give you a Jockeys badge" said
the friend.
Gimme it," replied the printer, eager
ly, never realizing the ridiculous contrast
between his size and that of even the
heavyweight jockeys. Armed with the
Jockeys badge he presented himself at
the race-track gate and showed his
badge. The ticket taker looked at him in
astonishment.
For Gods sake" he finally blurted
out, "wot do you rde-the elephant?"
There's one entered in the fifth race"
was the reply, and his nerve so paralyzed
the gatekeeper that he was admitted.

lace. A large picture hat Of fine black
Ieghorn was worn. 1t was turned up
back and front and trimmed with long,
black plumes.
Gray continues to hold it's own in Paris
and many Easter gowns are seen in this
color. The second member of the shop
ping trio wore a tailor suit of gray cash
mere trimmed in black. The skirt was
long and flaring around the foot with
smooth hip lines. 1t was trimmed with
two rows of black silk fringe. The fringe
was extremely novel and consisted of mar
row silk braid very thin, sewed closely to-
gether upon a wider band of braid. This
makes beautiful trimming and looks
the smartest thing possible when set in
motion by light breeze or the wearer's
walking.
The coat was a long tailor made coat
with sharply rounded away front; and
vest of figured silk. The front4was trim
med with silk buttons and the revers and
edges of the coat were trimmed with the
silk braid. A stock of gray chiffon was
worn about the neck. 81 IL
Gray suede gloves and a toque of fancy
straw were delightful additions to the
toilette. n -
The third shopper wore smart gown
of basket cloth over a silk lining. Basket
cloth is one of the new spring fabrics,
borrowed from past days, and is what the
Paris modistes call an Improvement on
wool crash," since it's warp is of silk. The
basket cloth was in navy blue and its lin
ing was cheerful shade of green. @,
The tight fitting skirt was draped with
navy blue fringe down each side of the
front, and around the foot.
The bodice was ore with full front and
vest of the green silk. The front was
trimmed with fringe and the high collar
was finished with a scant double ruffie of
blue chiffon. The sleeves were finished
around the hand with a small cuff of
navy blue silk, lined with green. A mar
row crushed silk belt confined the waist

QUEEN SANG A DUET.

An interesting anecdOte, and believed
to be little known in Ameica, is told Of an
occasion when Her Majesty, Queen Vic
toria, took part with a common, ordinary
virtuoso in a duet. A famous grand op-
era company, singing in London at the
time. was commanded" to appear before
the Queen at Windsor. The opera select
ed by Her Majesty was, as usual, one
that had been very popular, 1.-THE Daugh-
ter OF the Regiment" and that old-time
favorite singer, Aynsley Cooke, played
one Of his best parts, Sergeant Suipice.
After the conclusion of the performance
with which the Queen was evidently de-
lighted, the members of the company were
regaled with a sumptuous dinner, and
when this agreeable episode was draw
ing to a close one of the chief officials
Of the royal household came to Aynsley
Cooke and requested him to come into the
drawing room, where Her Majesty wished
to Sc him. The baritone willingly obeyed
the command, and was cordially greeted
by all the members of the royal family
present
The Queen asked Mr. Cooke, if he could
sing in the duet for Figaro and Rosina
from '"The Barber of Seville and the
singer replied, "Yes, Your Majesty, I
could sing it backward.' To which the
Queen Snilingly said: Every well, Mr..
Cooke, you take the part of Figaro and
will sing that of Rosina." Signor Paola
Tosti who had acted as music master to
most of the younger royalties, was at the
piano, and the duet proceeded. Cooke in
| troduced all the familiar business done
on the stage, smiled approvingly as the
Queen SANG the norid music, pulled out
his watch to time her, as she sang the
long roulades, and at the end the duetists
We're rewarded by a torrent of applause.
The Marquise of Lorne then approached
the vocalists and gravely Informed them
that their efforts were approved, and that
they might both consider themselves en-
gagged At which they all laughed heart
ily. Cooke used to regard this as one of
the most pleasing recollections in his long
and varied career.

Paris. March 9-All Paris is out now IN
the streets buying it's Easter dresses.
Some of the shopping gowns are extreme
ly pretty and will survive Easter anc De
worn until it is time for light dresses.
Among these can be included the hght
novelty goods gowns and the dresses OF
male cloth trimmed with tiny bands OF
fur, with rough cloth or silk fringe.
The cut OF the new spring gown Will be
very tight over the hips and they tell
strange tales of women who dampen the
underclothes to make them cling: and
who dress in tights without petticoats.
Cashmere petticoats are worn in place
of the silk skirt as the cashmere clings.
Upon the foot of the skirt there is ruff
fp of silk to give the requisite rus.ile.
The new tailor-made dresses will all be
built upon these long, slim lines and Will
hug the hips and the figure as far as the
knees with persistent closeness.
Two shoppers spent morning on the
Rue de la Paix and then stopped in for
a cup of tea before returning to their
shopping for the afternoon as it is days
work to shop for Easter gowns.
Their dresses were the new tailormade
gowns which will be seen throughout

A BLUETTE GOWN.
One of the shoppers wore a gown Of
bluette ladies' cloth with a two-pleced
skirt and glove-f itting waist The SKIRT
was made upon lining of cashmere and
fitted the hips as if it had been moulded
upon them. The upper skirt piece reach
ed half way the length Of the skirt and
extended below the knees at the front
with rounded effect. The edge was fin
ished with pretty band of trimming.
This trimming is entirely new and re-
sembles very much mirage velvet with
the differences that the foundation is Of
bengaline silk. Standing out upon this
foundation are stripes Of velvet nearly
half an inch in width, which have the
effect of fur in certain lights.
The lower skirt piece was fuller than
the upper ard had it's heading just above
the edge of the latter. 1t was also trim
med with the new velvet material.
The waist of this costume fastened at
the left side and was very tight fitting.
The skirt trimming was arranged upon
the front in very artistic manner ter
minating al the side. The pointed ar
rangement at the beginning Of the bust
line added the ever-popular bolero effect
and the waist was confined w it'll band
of velvet. The sleeves were small and
the collar high and plain

worn. trimmed with loops of corded vel

TRIMMED GOWNS.

, The other shopper wore chic costume
of mixed violenne suiting traced IN roy
al purple and black designs. The cos
tune was tailor made with faultless
hanging skirt and plain bodice. The
front of the skirt was so gored that it
hung in very wide box plait, with cor
responding folds at the sides and back.
Around the foot was deep band of roy
al purple rough cloth. A cashmere petit
coat was worn with the gown with full
silk ruffle around the bottom.
BOX PLATED WAISTS.
The back of the waist was box. plated.
and suggested the return of the box plait-
ed waist. These waists are extremely
comfortable to say nothing at all of their
becomngness to slender, well-formed
figures.
Purple silk of rough weave formed the
vest of the waist and there was a narrow
band of violienne silk braid down either
side of the front to relieve the dark col
ored vest A belt of the silk of gradual
ed width, encircled the waist, being mar
rowest at the front. Below the belt was
a plain ripple Of the waist material lin
ed with a dark purple silk
A high, rolling collar of corded white
silk finished the neck, and a soft bow of
mousseline de sole finished the front of
the collar. The shoppers hair was dress
ed a la pompadour, upon which rested a
purple velvet tOque trimmed on the left
side with three full ostrich plumes of the
same color.
A little later in the afternoon l noticed
coming from the same fashionable tea
parlor a trio Of shoppers including tall
blonde Of extraordinary beauty. She
wore a toilette Of crepe de chene COM
bined with a silky. crinkled goods figured
in black and white. The skirt was Of the

black crepe de chene. This ruffle was
trimmed with vertical rows Of frilled rib
bon, olive white in color edged with
fancy black bebze rb bon. The skirt fit
close over hips and had a lining of silk
poplin. The lining and skirt were made
separate, but were, however, sewed upon
the same waistband.
The waist was new and original. Il was
of the black goods with an overtrimming
of the figured material. The figured ma
terial was followed out at the neck, al
lowing the black crepe de chene to form a
yoke. and was cut out at the sides and
front leaving a narrow band at each
point. Around the edge of this figured
overtrimn,ng was a stitching of black

NATURAL QUESTION.

A very long time ago the British Gov

in the deserts of Patagonia. These men
were heroes. and with most magnificent
courage they dared to live in desert
where not a plant would grow, where
the water was brackiSh and the heat in
tolerable. They were surrounded by wild
tribes of hostile savages, and made them
warm friends: they We're ruled by for
egn Government, and became loyal citi-
zens. Through long years Of want and
famine they never despaired. They have
turned the desert into a beautiful fertile
country, have become ric, number 5000

A NEW TRIAL
JUDGE FISH WILL AGAIN HEAR THE
FAMOUS BULL CASE.
NEW EVIDENCE is DISCOVERED
Which May Cause the Verdict Given the
Plaintiff at March Term of Court to
be Reversed-Has Created
Considerable Interest.

At the request of the defendants,
Mary Ann Whitley and Peter Whitley,
Judge Fish, at Racine, this afternoon
granted motion for a new trial in
the famous case of Peter Hauser vs.
Mary Ann and Peter Whitley, commonly
known as the famous bull case.
The case was peculiar one and has
attracted great deal of attention in
Racine and Kenosha counties. Hauser
was farm hand employed by the
Whitleys and during his service with
them one of his duties was to care for
vicious bull and in July, 1896, the
animal attacked Hauser and in the
Eight which followed the hired man
received personal injuries from which
he never recovered.
The injured man at once sought to
secure damages from the Whitleys, but
the lawyers in Racine and KenOsha
laughed him to scorn and refused to
take the case.
Finally it was taken ny by Attorney
L. G.. Bohmrich and fighting his case
to a jury he received damages for
So, 900 in favor of Hauser. 1t was the
intention of appealing the case to the
supreme court, but the action of Judge
Fish today secures new way without
such an action.
The decision of the judge granting
new trial was based upon the fact
that new evidence has been discovered
which was not introduced at the last
trial. The case will probably come up
at the next term of the circuit court.
