In fact this seems TO be the only course
that the Protective department can pur-

cal course of voting TO cut loose entirely
from the city fire department, and this
is by no means probable, or, in fact, de-

SHOULD WORK TOGETHER.

There seems to be a pretty general opin-
ion that much good will result from the
conference held yesterday between the In
surance men and the fire commissioners,
for both sides were OF the opinion that
the city fire department an6ithe insurance
men should work together in harmony In
order TO accomplish the best results.
The fire commissioners were pleased at
the spirit manifested by the representa-
tives OF the insurance companies yester-
day. and said this morning that much
could be done by concerted action TO re-
duce the losses by fire, and this, OF course,
would be for the general good.
AS matters now stand II looks as IL the
O'Neil episode would result In bringing
about a much better feeling among all
concerned. and this is, of course, some
thing that will prove good news to ev-
cry resident of the city.

MIR. ARNoLp's ATTITUDE.

One of the interesting questions in the
matter. is as to the attitude of Mr..
Fred w. Arnold. president OF the Equi-
table Insurance company, who holds the
position of treasurer OF the Protective
department, and who mas really been
the main director of Its affairs.
Mr.. Arnold had unequivocally stated
his position on the O'Neil case. and SO
determined was he In this position that
at the meeting OF the department held on
Saturday last, he rendered his resigna-
ton.
This was not accepted at the time. but
was laid on the table. and Is still there.
Whether Mr.. Arnold will insist upon his
resignation Is one ~ the thugs that IL
interesting the insurance men OF this
city.
Some of them say that they believe he
will do so, IL the Protective department
votes to recognize the right OF the fire
commissioners to appoint the members of
the protective company.
This however. is something that can
not be very well foreshadowed. and II re-
mains TO be seen what action VIII be
taken at Fridays meeting.

Last week DR.. Beckdolt enter
tanned the students at Assembly
hall by aseries Of lectures on differ
ent sections of Pennsylvania. The
first two lectures were largely
devoted to the physical features OF
that part of Pennsylvania occupied
by the Scotch-Irish. Then DR.
Beckdoldt took up the people
themselves and told in pleasant
conversational way the manners and
characteristics of those people
DIR. Beckdoldt is German to the
core and he aroused the curiosities
OF the students, when, in the course
OF his remarks, he told Of how lie
himself was related to the Scotch
Irish of Pennsylvania, but on ex
planning that, it was only through
his wife everyone felt greatly re-
lieved. The different lectures
were well attended and increased
in popularity as they continued.
The subject was one with which
DIR. Beckdoldt had great famili-
arity, he having been connected
with the Lafayette college located
in Pennsylvania for number of
years.
The Junior class concert held in
Denny Hall last Friday evening
was a success both financially and
otherwise. Between two and three
hundreds persons were in attend
ance and showed the greatest ap-
probation Of the excellent musical
program, which was being render
ed. Besides the orchestra and
mandolin club the most notable
celebrities on the program were
Aubrey Levy and Miss Stevens.
The affair was widely advertised
and the proceeds Of the evening
amounted to about $50, which
amount will 60 towards defraying
the expenses of publishing the
Junior Annual.
Prof. Priests class in forensics
is now dealing with some of the
most nlomentous questions Of the
hour. Last Thursday it discussed
the subjects of Railway pooling"
and government ownership of
railroads. The week before it dis
posed Of the question, "Quay's
admission into the Senate" and
also the municipal ownership of
street car lines in Seattle" By
the end of the year the class will
have received excellent training in
style, delivery and argument.
Among those members Of the cl ass
who seem likely to win distinction
in this field are: Messrs. E. W.
Schrowder and q. S. Griggs.
The young ladies gave an infor-
NAL reception at their dormitory
to the faculty ladies last Monday
evening. The Misses Stevens took
the leading part in the affair and
rendered a few musical selections
which were rare treats.
One of the most valuable lite
rary donations which the univer-
sity library has been the recipient
of in quite long time, was at the
hands of Mr.. J. w. elise. The
collection includes twenty-seven
volumes of the Geological Survey
and thirty-nine on miscellaneous
subjects, the most important of
which are: Four volumes of the
Pennsylvania Magazine, three
volumes Of the Annals Of Phila-
delphia, one of Governor Stevens
reports, the memoirs of Gen. Lee,
the Life of William Penn and
three volumes of Lord CORVALLIS.
