Regents and Faculty Banquetted.

Regents and Faculty Banquetted.
Stevens hall was the scene of q
most brilliant and successful social
event last Wednesday evening, the
ladies of the faculty rendering re-
ception and banquet to the regents
and faculty, and the occasion
abounded in wit, wisdom humor
and good cheer, and it proved
feast Of good things indeed. The
guests were received in the parlors
Of Stevens hall by Pres. and Mrs.
Bryan, Mrs. Van Doren, Regent and
Mrs. Stearns, Regentand Mrs Can
field, and Regent Allen,
The banquet room was decorated
with pink roses and carnations, and
with potted plants and palms, and
the many courses of dainty and de-
licious viands were served by the
pretty and becomlngly gowned
young lady students of the college.
Pres. Bryan, in his usual happy
manner, acted as toast master, and
had anything been needed to put
the banquettsrs in good humor, the
remarks of the toast master, and
the bright and humorous responses
were certainly we'll calculated to
do it. Science Hall-the New
Mission of Science" was responded
to by Prof. Spillman, Sahile the
honors for "The New Ferry Hall"
were done by the old proctor, Prof

1.-Two men were examined for
insanityin the superior court at
Colfax Tuesday. One was released
and the other tcommitted to Med,
ical Lake NJ. G. Rocks of Cotton
was the latter. he is an old man,
and appears hopelessly insane.
Louie Schampeau was the other
man examined, and he was found
to be suffering from wound on the
head, and while undoubtedly tenn.
porarily insane, the physicians did
not think his insanity sufficient to
permit Of him being sent to the
asylum. Schampeau had called
upon Cashier Conan, of the First
National bank, and insisted on &C.
curing money with which to escape
from his pursuers, promising to
"fix it up" when he saw Admiral
Dewey. Sheriff Canutt WAS called
and arrested him, with the above
result.

PLANS FOR BUILDINGS.
College Regents Adopt Plans for
New Buildings.
Important Meeting of the Board
of Regents. es

The regular annual meeting of
the board of regents of the college
was held this week, and the busi-
ness that came before it made it
one of the most important meet
ings in the history of the college.
All members of the board were
present except Regent McCroskey,
who was kept at home by sickness,
the newly appointed regent, John
B. Allen, of Seattle, being present
for the first time. The board was
reorganized by the election of II.
w. Garfield as president for the en-
ruing year, with Mr.. Tannatt vice
president, and Mr.. Stearns, treas
urer.
The consideration of plans for
abe new buildings provided by the
sixth legislature was of course the
important matter before the board,
and two days were spent in looking
over the various plans submitted,
and listening to the arguments of
the architects in support Of their
respective plans. Five eyss of plans
were subnlittsd, - g4ls repre-
sented being 3lgren &
Swain, of spot b& Nttel,
of SPOKANE; ca of Ia
coma; Allen K Jas .ge, of Sc
attic, and G, w. Bullarss..pf Taco.
ma. The last II AIMED was the sue
cessful competitor, his Plans for
both Science hail and Ferry hall
being accepted. Mr.. Bullard will
therefore act as superintendent of
the construction of the buildings,
and will reside in Pullman while
they are being built. He is a grad
uate Of the Illinois school of archi-
lecture, and was architect of the
Engineering building erected in
that state at a cost Of 100000.
The new college buildings from his
plans will be handsome structures
of modern type, the style being
plain, but the effect very pleasing,
the material to be used to be pressed
brick and Tenino sand stone.
Science hall will be 170xSO IT,.
three stories high, while Ferry hall
will cover 140x90 it,, and will con-
sist of three stories and base ment.
The general plan of both buildings
has already been published in the
HERALD. The bids for brick were
not accepted, but the board expects
to soon make arrangements for the
manufacture of the brick right on
the ground, 100000 being re-
quired for the two buildings.
The board olso provided for the
purchase OF the equipment for the
gymnasium, the legislature having
appropriated $3.50 for that purpose,
the additions to the library with
$500 appropriated not yet being
made, the list of books to be pur-
chased now being in course of pre-
paration by the committee on
library.
E. E. Elliott, of Lansing, Michi-
gan, was added to the faculty as as
sistant professor OF agriculture. Mr..
Elliott is a graduate of Monmouth
college, Illinois, and has been for a
number Of years engaged in farm
ing operations in S. f. Ohio, and
has been a prominent lecturer at
farmers institutes in that state.
He is also highly recommended by
the president of the Michigan agri.
cultaral college.
The regents made arrangements
for the annual eaeampment of the
college cadets, in May.

The Name of Dreyfus

Many persons will be interested, now
that the name Of Dreyfus is upon all
tongues to learn the curious origin of
this surname, which is so widely ex-
tended among the Jews Of France, Ger
many, and Switzerland. 1t arose in
Elsass in the form of "Trevus." Its
present form is due to a strange popu-
lar misunderstanding. n the year 1855,
when the persecution of the Jews took
a new start in nearly all the states of
Germany, the elector palatine, Johann
H., and his neighbor the Archbishop
Elector Johann of Trier, agreed to ex-
pei all the Jews from their dominions.
The Jewish fugitives from Trier sought
a new home, for the most part, in
Elsass. The Jews Of that time, faith
full to their ancient customs, had not
adopted the use of hereditary surnames,
which had been common among their
Christian neighbors in Germany for
more than two centuries. Hence the
municipal and communal authorities
throughout Elsass entered the names
of n and all the Hebrew immigrants
as "Treviranls" Chat is, THE man
from Trier," the Latin Treviri). The
GET" Of the official scribe was altered IN
the popular dialect to the hard 3D."
and the official Authorization "Trevus"
in the local registers became "Dreyfus."
Thus every Jewish exile from Trier had
to accept nolens volens, the surname
Of Dreyfus. There Is no ground what
ever for the various ingenious and
fanciful derivations Of the name from
Three Foot" (Drei Fuss), Tripod"

The Admiral and the Liar

A blue jacket who made a cruise with
Dewey some years ago, says Leslie's
Weekly tells this characteristic story:
1--WE hadn't been to sea with him long
before we got next to how he disposed
a liar. One of the petty officers went
ashore at Gibraltar, got mixed up with
the soldiers in the canteens on the hill,
and came off to the ship paraliZed. He
ven before the captain at the mast the
next morning. He gave Dewey the
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS yarn.
You're lying my man. says Dewey.
You were very trunk. 1 myself heard
you aft in my cabin. I will not have my
men to lie to me. I dom expect to
find total abstinence in a man-o-war-
crew. But T do expect them to tell me
the truth, and I am going to have them
to tell me the truth. Had you told me
oandidly hat o took the drop too
much on your liberty you'd have been
forward by this time, for you, at least
returned to the ship. For lying, you
get ten days in iron. I am told you are
a good seaman A good seaman has
no business lying
After hat were few men on board
who didn't throw themselves on the
mercy of the court when they waltzed
up to the stick before Dewey, and none
of us ever lost anything by it."

II don't mean ito say that a man
can't get along on a very little cash in
the English metropolis, but what !
want to impress upon you is that if he
lives as becomes a gentleman, who is
used to the good things of life, he has
to pay higher for the privilege than he
does in New York, Boston, Chicago or
Washington. Now, I don't consider
that the national capital is an econom-
ical place for a man Of epicurean tastes
and yet 1 will wager a box of fine cigars
that if the style of living in h two Cit
les be equal that the financial ex-
n will be GREATER in Londo than
in Washington. 1t cost me just 81 a
day to exist during my s%ojourn there,

tanned a far greater variety of vegeta-
