The Colors Changed.

Never, i'll the memory of the oldest i'll
habitant, have we had such enthusiastic
student meetings as have been the order
recently. Perhaps the most enthusiastic
of these occurred last Tuesday morning
III Chapel, when the committee appoint
ed by President Bryan to investigate the
matter of changing the college colors,
made their report. The Chapel was
packed till it looked as if everybody had
come and brought somebody with EN-. +"
To describe adequately all the incidents
OF that meeting is entirely beyond the
power of the writer. Time, space, and
the readers patience would utterly fail
MS were we to attempt to tell about Prof
Beattie's frantic and frequent efforts to get
recognition from the chair, or Prof.
Watts righteous indignation at the polit-
ical schemes of the opposing faction, or
how Agnes Downs made John Jones sor-
~ he had spoke, or above all, Prof.
Spillmans ''curiously and wonderfully
made" recommendation. Suffice it to
say that they were all there, and anyone
who was not there to see missed the treat
of lifetime.
There were three parties i'll the field.
One championed the pink and blue, an
other the blue and white, and third the
crimson and gray. After much "cussion
and discussion" motions and substitute
motions, amendments, points of order
al 1n1FR1tHH7, the crimson and gray were
adopted as the colors which shall repre-
sent the college in the future. MAY they
never be trailed i'll the dust, but be
followed by the same clean, honorable
manhood that has carried their predeces-
sors to many hard-won victory! After
the smoke of battle had cleared away, led
by Jimmy Nader, the students gave
three cheers and tiger for the departing
pink and blue. The old banner is to be

AKRON, Ohio, January 22s-The po-
lice Of this city have under surveir-
lance a woman who is suspected OF
being Mrs. Adolph Leutgert. who was
supposed to have been murdered two
years ago by her husband, the sausage
maker, of Chicago.
Sheriff Frank G. Kelly has notified
the Chicago authorities, who have
promised to send a description of Mrs.
Leutgert and other means of Identify
ing her.
This information has not yet como
to hand, and until it does Sheriff Kelly
refuse to give out any information as
to the house where the woman is stop
ping. Sheriff Kelly's story is as fol-
lows:
Last evening two Germans, whose
names the sheriff refuse to divdlge,
called on him. They claimed that for
three weeks a strange oma had been
at their house. She had a large trunk
and guarded it most zealously, refrs-
ing to allow anyone TO see its rnn
tents. This circumstance, and the fact
that the woman refused to give her
name or tell whence she came, made
the people at the house suspicious, and
ut last it was suggested to therl that
perhaps this was Mrs. Leutgert. They
secured a description Ut Mrs. Lieut.
CERT, and it tailed with that of their
strange guest. and they called upon
Sheriff Kelley to see what they could
do about it.
The woman has not been arrested,
but it is said she is being closely
watched in order to prevent her leav-
ing the city.

This is the last year Of the nine

been steeled, for the United States. by
absolute law.
This is proved by the discovery OF
an old Act of Parliament, which an

years ago.
That is to say, the act settled the
question for Great Britain as it was
then constituted, including the colo-
mics which afterwards became the
United States. These colonies took

Mr.. Bryan's declination Of the Demo-
cratic clubs invitation to the Jeffer-
son Day banquet last April. in which
he condemned political communion
between Jefferson Democrats who
stand upon the Chicago platform and
the Republican allies who masquerade
as Democrats between campaigns in
order to give more potency tt their
betrayal of Democratic principles on
election day."
The letter continues:
1T may be fairly inferred from all
of the foregoing that il YOU were not
considered by Mr.. Bryan as an avowed
believer in his doctrine of free and
unlimited silver coinage at the ratio
of is to /. he would also have de-
clined your invitation on the ground
that no party advantage is to be de-
rived from political communion with
you at the Democratic cicb. We dc
not believe in the wisdom of free coin
age at that ratio. We do know, how
ever. that we are Democrats and are
interested in the success of the Demo-
cratic party in the city. in the State
and in the nation.
"Tkis being true, we sincerely but
respectfully urge upon you, occupying,
as you do, the position of president OF
the club. not to do anything which
would tend to forestall the action Of
the next Democratic national
, ton.
"As individuals. we insist upon the
right to express N opinions in regard
to the future policy of our party and
| the selection OF its nominees. We be-
lieve it unwise to permit the opinion
to go broadcast throughout the land
that the Democratic club of this city
or the Democratic club of this State,
SO far in advance Of the convention,
| are ~irrevocably committed to the en-
dorsement OF the principles Of the last
national platform, or of the views of
I, the last Presidential nominee.
I'VE are painfully aware of the
! fact that in 1896 we lost the State OF
New York by 26S, 4e9, and the city by
more than 10000. 1t is our desire, If
possible, to prevent q repetition of an
other such Democratic political dis
appointment.
I'm conclusion. let us again repeat
that we take this course in good feel
ing and to prevent, IL possible. a mis-
construction of your individual act as
being the act of the Democratic club"
