died on December 15, 1900, after long
illness, which became acute about eight

University of Vienna in 1916, where he

remained there for one year, and there

in touch. Then he went to Prague to

THE FILIPINOS.

tinues. Information from reliable
sources indicates that it will probably go
on for many years or until congress does
its duty. To stop the war guarantee
by congress of ultimate independence is
essential. Confident that only in this
way can hostilities be brought to a close,
a movement was recently started, by
men who supported Mr.. Mckinley, to
toward the Filipinos and give to them
the same assurances that were given to
the Cubans. A large majority of the
American people are opposed to our
permanent retention of the Philippines
and justify our occupation of the islands
only so long as is necessary to
establish stable government.
If this is the intention of congress
no harm could result from saying so
and if it is not, honesty to the Filipino

friendly to Mr.. Mckinley during the

"We, the undersigned. who voted for

BRYAN FOR GOVERNOR.

William J. Bryan for governor of
Nebraska and Senator w. V. Allen for
member of the supreme court is said to
be the ticket by which the democrats
hope to again wrest the state from the
republicans. Depending on Mr.. Bryan's
strong personality and the reaction that
generally follows landslide, the politi-
cal friends Of the late candidate for the
presidency hope to elect him by so large
majority that his prestige as national
leader will be at once reestablished.
The election for governor occurs in
1909, while member of the supreme
court will be elected in 1901.
Mr.. Bryan's announcement that he
will soon begin the publication of
weekly political journal has set the
politicians guessing. Republican poll
ticians had hoped that Mr.. Bryan upon
his defeat for the presidency and loss of
his own state would emigrate to Texas.
Mr.. Bryan, however, has chosen
another course. He will not only re-
main and lend his personality to the
next state campaigns, but he will put
his newspaper into every village and
hamlet of this state, enabling him to
preach his doctrines every week, and he
will not be hereafter circumscribed to
speeches from the rear end of passen-
ger coach. It is stated by his friends
with great emphasis that Mr.. Bryan is
determined to wrest Nebraska from re-
publican domination.
The friends of Mr.. Bryan figure that
the republicans, having reinstated them
selves in power politically, will repeat
the blunders of the past and will permit
the great corporations to name their
candidates and control the official actions
of the state officers from the governor
down to custodian of the state house.
They look to see the corporations name
two men for the United States senate.
They point to the certainty of the cleo
tion of D. E. Thompson, of Lincoln, q
man who was in the employ of the Bur-
lington railroad for a quarter of a
century and made his first money in
land deals in new territory traversed by
that road. Politically he has always
been the agent of the Burlington. The
fact is also pointed out that the decision
of the supreme court knocking out the
state board of transportation leaves the
state without any law regulating rail-
roads or the tariff rates, which are con.
stantly increasing, nor is there COM
mission having authority to curb the
greed of the railroads.
Mr.. Bryan and his party workers
anticipate that the new regime is in a
fair way to make so many mistakes that
it will be an easy matter to displace re-
publicans in the state elections of 1901-2.

Prague, he found the revolution there
suppressed; so he made his way to
Vienna, where there was good prospect
of active work with the revolutionists.
Consequently, he was concerned in the
street riots of October and October 81
he was roughly handled and bruised,
but he escaped serious injury. On the
latter day the barricades, which Mr..
Ottendorfer had helped to throw up,
were carried by the military, and he
narrowly escaped arrest and death. AS
it was, he was hidden in the chimney of
book store which kind hearted man
kept and there he remained for three
days and nights, within hearing of a
sentry's footsteps. Meantime, COM
rade had been caught and was soon SEN
fenced and shot.
Sentenced.
At this time sentence of death was
passed upon Ottendorfer for high
treason it continued against him for
twenty years, when general pardon
was granted. He escaped from Vienna
to Saxony. Once there he dared not
take up his studies at the University
of Leipsic-as he had intended-for fear
of extradition; 80 he cast in his lot with
other revolutionists and set out for
Bohemia to provoke an uprising there.
This effort failed. The party was soon
under suspicion, and driven from the
country In the spring of 1S49 he was
in Dresden, there leading revolution
ary outbreak and so he went from city
to city, provoking outbreaks as best he
could, until. in the summer of 1849, he
was stricken with typhoid fever. The
revolutionary spirit had subsidized when
he recovered. He was concerned in the
rescue of revolutionary leader (Steck)
from life imprisonment, and led the
escaping party to Switzerland. Thence
he reached the seacoast and came by
schooner to New York. He arrived
here on April 1, 1850.
| Career Began.
He was penniless and friendless. His
first employment was as laborer in a
factory then he found work in soda.

position in the Office of the Stats
Zeitung. In the following year the
proprietor, Jacob Uhl, died, and his
widow took charge of the paper, and
afterwards Mr.. Ottendorfer married
Mrs. Uhl. In 1868 Mr.. Ottendorfer was
made editor. in. chief.
Mr. Ottendorfer was democrat. He
was Douglas delegate to the national

as is proven by the fact that the co-eds
still live, thrive and hold their own,
provided with both dean and matron.
As yet, the vacant lot may serve as
reminder of the might have been,"
had the erstwhile willing workers"
not kicked out of the tightly buckled
traces, and gone to tilling on their own
account, or in pastures new. But the
years are many, and time is just.
Our State University is a matter for
pride, among the women as well as men
throughout the State. And from the
attitude of the members of the late
w. A. S. u, the excresences that
marked the devious path in their labor
of pure love, are all smoothed down by
the leveling hand of good old Father
Time, and their interest is as great (if
less active) in all that relates to our
most prominent seat of learning, as of
yore. AS before stated, the statements
herein, are based upon facts, as fur
nished by one of the ladies closely con-
nected with the occurrences related.
And now word to misguided "X"
on his own account: Your mental di-
gestion seems awry; why not 60 to
Ossoli, which we'll wager you've never
darkened, and feed on some of the first
class brain food served up there Mon
day afternoons? They're little strict,
but under the dire circumstances with
such fine field for treatment, all bar
riers will be torn down, We'll proph-
ecy. Or can it be that you've come in
contact with the negative pole of some
maiden Ossolite's heart-battery? or is
it that your wife-(poor thing, | pity
her as bright and shining Ossolite,
has already shown you the dark corners
in your mental dwelling place, wherein
no sun shine enters? If So like Mr.
Box, of the Ladies' Home Journal, |
advise you to turn over bran new leaf
and go to ventilating and cleaning
down cobwebs.
Above all, let up on Knoxville's So
cial side and 400, else you'll prove what
we half suspect, that you're of the great
unwashed that sit in the outer darkness
of social obscurity, and wouldn't know
a social courtesy if you met it at high
noon on IA bright day on Gay street.
And finally Madam Editors, l want
to sue for pardon for taking valuable
space and the printers time; to refute
what is after all, not worth refuting.
But above all else, apologize to my
self, for following after so poor pi-
oneer. In proof of deep humility, l
even follow him alphabetically.

Again, to quote our misguided
chronicler of the mis-doings and I'M

and Ossoli women especially: Scarcely
had the echoes of the meeting died on
the air before member of that COM
mittee presented her name, and made q
formal demand to be elected to a pro-

sessed by the University, it would seem,
is that of keeping alive echoes for an
indefinite time. Briefly the facts fol-
low. The executive board of the W.
A. S. u, soon saw and felt the need of
woman's presence at the University.
The reasons are so cOgent as to need no
setting forth in this article. They rec
commended las requested) a step which
they deemed an almost necessity for
the well-being of the woman's depart
ment; namely, a matron, whose pres
ence would be at once stimulus and a
safeguard. That they advised the in
stallment of a female professor as soon
as the finances would permit, they
neither deny nor are ashamed of, the
wisdom of such advice is obvious. They
believed then and believe now, that in
the broad educational world, may be
found women capable even of instruct
ing in the University of Tennessee. A
member of the WOman's Board of the
w. A. S. u, did have the temerity to
offer herself for the position of matron
while feeling a certainty of refusal.
The University might use her among
the rest to further its own ends, but in
choosing one for position of trust and
dignity, would 60 far afeld. A premo-
milton since verified to the letter. Yet
further, the applicant referred to, had
never dreamed of applying for a pro-
fessorship, as stated by "X," for being
better informed on University matters
than *" and woman of sound judg-
ment, she would not seek position to
which she knew she could present no
real claim. She knew if tx" does not,
that only a graduate possessing de-
gree may fill chair. The executive

no such reason as that assigned. They

IT would seem that the telephone
has been with us long enough to get
well acquainted. Yet some of the old
est phone owners are as ignorant to-
day of the "raison d'etre" of the instru-
ment that is so patient through all their
misconceptions and injustice, as they
were in the beginning. If they would
but learn that there is some one at the
telephone Office paid to patiently call
"hello," telephone existence would
flow on much more smoothly. Instead
nine cases out of ten, the callee hurls
hello" at the caller in a manner
which necessitates an unnecessary con-
versation. Here is an instance: A
physician called a certain drug store
in an emergency at that. The answer
came "hello." what number is that?"
queried the doctor. Hello" answer
ed The D. S. what number, pleass?T'
blandly quoth the man of pills. "Wen,
hello" came once again. II cannot
give you an order until know if l have
the right number" explained the pa
tient caller. Now here was waste of
valuable moments, all because in the
beginning the man at the other end
failed to announce himself by number
Among other good resolutions for the
new year, let's include a resolve to do
our full duty to the telephone.
