Next Recitation.
They tell this story Of a college prank
the boys at Princeton played on Profess

trononv His Rotations were recently
held the first thing in the morning. and
he had to admonish the students in his
division to correct the fault of tardi-
ness. which he claimed was increasing
in lamentable manner. and when one
Of the students explained that they all
studied so late at night they were apt
to oversleep in the morning he kindly
advised them to secure alarm clocks.
which he said were one of the most val
liable and useful inventions.
The next day nearly every student in
the class came into recitation with an
alarm clock in his pocket, which by pa
tient and united effort were set so that
one would go off promptly at every sue
cessive minute of the hour The effect
can be imagined Shortly after the first
student was called to recite one of the
clocks in the pocket of a boy at the 9th
er end Of the room went off with a ter
rible clamor. and before it had finished
a second in another part of the room
made even louder racket.
There was brief interval. which the
professor utilized to call up another stu
dent, but the latter was scarcely on his
feet before the third clock went Oft The
performance was continued for half an
hour or more when the professor. who
had a keen sense of humor, recognized
the situation and cut short the fun by
terminating the recitation. The boys
explained that they had followed his
advice and secured alarm clocks, which

Honduras May Act Now.

Washington, March 9.-Next Tuesday
the inhabitants of the little port of
Puerto Cortez, on the gulf coast of Hon.
duras, will see anchored in their harbor
for the first time probably the entire
north Atlantic squadron of the United
States. Admiral Sampson will go there
directly from Havana, and possibly the
appearance of the ships may stimulate
the Honduran government to action in
the case of the murder of Mr.. Pears, a
native of p ttsburg. who was shot by a
sentinel on account of his ignorance OF
the Spanish language.

Washington, March 9.-The bureau of
yards and docks has decided to issue
advertisements in the course of month
for the construction of stone drydock
Of the largest proportions 1t Ports
mouth, N. n. A great deal If time is
usually required for the preparation of
plans for such a dock to ser're as the
basis for the invitation for proposals,
but the navy department will be able to
act with expedition in the case of the
Portsmouth dock by using the plans
prepared last winter for the Boston
stone dock, that to be built at Ports
mouth being almost the same in plan.

MUSIC AND DRAMA.

What promises to be the banner attrac-
ton of the season, viii be the engagement
OF Hoyt's "a Contented Woman" at the
Crawford Grand next Monday evening.
a Contented Woman" like all Of Mr..
Hoyts plays, satirizes something, and
the something this time is the much
talked-of NEW Woman" who thinks in
politics she Is able TO cope successfully
with the Steiner sex. How she goes TO
work, and the success Of her attempt, IS
brought out with all the keen wit and ma
tive humor which distinguishes all the
work of the greatest American writer OF
farce-comedy.
A word in regard to the production
When "a Contented Woman" was first
produced at Hoyt's Theater, New York.
the theater-goers of the metropolis held
up their handS in amazement. Never in
the annals Of New York amusement chron-
icles was such a lavish scenic mounting
ever seen in a farcical comedy. No de-
tail, however slight though It might be.
was neglected to make this the most per-
feet production of musical comedy the
metropolis had ever seen. The Hoyt The
alter production will be put on the boards
of our theater in identically the same man
ner as in New York City.
The cast, Mr.. Hoyt claims. is the best
possible, and contains such names as Belle
Archer. Bonnie Lottie Fanny Denham
Rouse, c. P. Morrison, Henrietta Lee. Ed
ward Craven, John L. Keony, Arthur
Buckmore.

there for their manner of furnishing such
splendid entertainment for the visitors
The Wichita delegation must have been a
very popular one at the grand lodge ses-
sion, for they succeeded in carrying off
some very choice boquets, even if they did
fan to get all they went after. A splendid
compliment was paid to DR.. Minnick in
his reelection to the office of grand medi-
cal examiner. Out of a possible 500 votes
the doctor received $50 for reelection.
which election was afterwards made unani-
nous. amid the applause of the large audi
ence. Mr.. Dickson, who was a candidate
for the office Of grand recorder, was tossed
a very nice compliment. consisting Of 10Y
votes, which IS generally considered the
forerlnner Of a substantial future con-
sheraton.
The order Of A. O. I. W. was found.
from the reports submitted. to have pros
pered during the year. DR.. Minnick said
he has passed on 2,5S1 applications during
the last four months. The number of

CHENEY Is LIVELY
Merchant Wolf Says His Town and
Country Is PrOsperings

J. D. Wolf, the well known Cheney mer-
chant, was in the city yesterday buying
his spring and summer stock and was
guest at the Carey. Mr.. Wolf says Cheney
is having a gradual and healthy growth,
and that that section of the county is
more prosperous than it has been in years
before give years ago" said Mr.. Wolf,
one could stand at Cheney and count doz-
ems Of mortgaged farms; in fact, but very
few could be found that were heavily in
numbered. 1t is different now. I defy any
one to travel over the country in our vi
entity and find more than one out of every
dozen farms that are incumbered at all.
Times have been so good with us and the
people are so well fixed now that an Oc-
casional failure will not have the depress-
ing effect that it once had" Mr.. Wolf
says that there has been quite a building
boom at Cheney this winter which will
continue throughout the spring months.
The fine new brick block is about COM
pleted and it IS a fitting monument to the
enterprise of the promoters.
