September goth, with a full faculty of
every provision for the welfare and adj
vancement of students, male and female.
The university has an annual endowment

abroad. The buildings are noble and
impressive, the sight healthful and love-
ly, an environment itself instructive and
refining. All that earnest and able hands
can doto make the university a source
of strength and education to the state has
been done or is being done, and the peo-
pie are invited to use its benefits, which
are conferred without price, and assist
in spreading its benign usefulness
throughout the state.
Besides giving full courses and confer
ring degrees in the various departments
OF liberal arts, the university also gives
complete instructions in civil engineer
ing, mining and metallurgy, scientific
agriculture, stock breeding, dairying
horticulture, Horticulture and in the at
tendant industries upon which the pro-
ductive life of this particular state is
founded and which cannot possibly be.

to local conditions.

in favor of the plaintiff i'll the case of the
Lawyers Cooperative Publishing Com
pauy VS. lanes w. Reid. The case was
commenced in the probate court in jan
uary, 1905. 1t was for the recovery by
plaintiff from Reid of SO or more law
books of the value of s32o.
Reid prepared the contract under
which he got the books from the com
pany in February 90. 1t was condi-
tional sale agreement, title was not pass
ed until the books were paid for; if not
paid for they were to be returned
by him to the company at Rochester,
New York. IF not SO Refunded on de-
mand, the company and its agents were
authorized to take the books. The court
finds that the books were not paid for
and that no title ever passed to Reid,
and that the plaintiff was entitled to re-
cover.
This is the transaction in which Reid
was arrested on January 10, 1898 for
drawing pistol on f. O'Neill, plaintiff
attorney, when making demand for
the books. Judge Stookey, then probate
judge, discharged Reid as the state had
failed to prove that the pistol was loaded
while pointed at plaintiffs attorney.
The case has been strenuously resisted
and prolonged by the defendant. Judge
Stookey, then probate judge, decided the
case in favor of Reid, which Judge Steele
decides was error. The plaintiff ap-
pealed to the district court, and the tech
nicalities were re-examined and decided
adversely to Reid. The plaintiff has
steadily pursued its course against oppo-
sition and vindicated its rights, which
in view of the opposition it has combatted
and great delays it has, it seems, been
obliged to submit to, is creditable to the
plaintiff and its attorney.

Democrats, populists and free
silverites all look alike to Bryan.
If nominated by the negroes of the
south on a platform which would
guarantee to them their right of
franchise. he would in his speech
OF acceptance show how their in
terests lay with his election to the
presidency.

The democrats anti everything
republican. They have not re-
solved anti-prosperity in any plat
form declaration yet, but it is only
a matter OF logical generalization
to make this a democratic issue.
A bit of history and retrospective
observation makes anti-prosperity
decidedly democratic. To be ex-
plicit and brief, would it not be
logical for the democrats to pro-
claim general anti.prosperity and
be practically comprehensive.

Since Bryan has spoken it will
now be in Older to notice that
prominent democratic papers will
begin to see the beauties of the
greenblck question, as urged by
the popnlsts and endorsed by
Bryan in his speech Of acceptance.
Free silver papers will now quit
talking about IS to and go to
urging the voters to hold on to the
greenback. Bryan has spoken
and the result is inevitable.

FOR A DRAMATIC AssOCIATION-THE sOPH.
OMoRE SOCIETY QUESTION

New-Haven. Conn. Feb. 9.-There is an attempt
now being made among the undergraduates to start
a dramatic association. Since the junior society
play of 1895 plays have been given in public by
undergraduates. They constantly given in va
rious society houses, but they naturally be wit
messed only by members OF the societies. and the
plays are. a rule. rather worthless burlesques
The junior society public play was abandoned be-
cause Of the time and large expense involved in its
production. The proposed association is to study
the legitimate drama. and will produce once year
some standard English play that has genuine liter
airy merit. Trials for membership will be held on
Monday night and the judges are to be Professors
Bernadotte Perrin and William Lyon Phelps and
DR.. Edward B. Reed. No performance will be
given the present year, but the society will
try TO put itself a firm basis.
The list Of lectures to be given in the Sheffield
Scientific School has just appeared. This is the
thirty-folrth year OF the series. They are given
on Tuesday and Friday evenings from February 10
TO March q. The speakers and their subjects are
as follows "Mantua and the GonZas,' three lect-
ures, illustrated by Professor D. Cady Eaton;

increasingly difficult to find. Soon after announc

fact that the university properties are already
crowded and that all the proposed sites, even the

size and for setting off to advantage the building

buy land and destroy the building thereon will be
