The ping-pong craze has fastened itself
with n deadly grasp upon large number
of the college students. and a regular team
has been organized. Candidates for places
on the team have been filing their appli-
cations rapidly. and the school is quite
enthusiastic over the sport. A place has
been provided for the games in the unoc-

agreed with great many OF the pupils to
vote for the person they wanted for pres
ident. and in return they were to have
voted for Miss Brown. The latter young
lady's following faithfully performed their
part of the contract. with the result that
Campbell was easily elected president.
Representatives of the other side state
that they had grown disgusted with the
free advertising that had been done in be-
half of the opposition's candidate, and the
students failed TO carry out their contract
and voted for Miss Connor. Subsequent
events, however. have shown that Miss
Connor has made a most excellent vice
president, and the contract jumpers say

BUSINESS HIGH SCHOOL.

Peace no longer reigns at the Business
The equanimity of the school has been
utterly demolished. The recent class cleo
fion has been the direcJ cause OF the con-
fiict, although the endeayors of many Of
the pupils 10 ensconce their own connec-
tion with various transactions attending
the taking of the votes has added to the
strife and divided the graduating class
into two factions. each violently opposed

The entire class agrees that in Mr..
Fred b. Campbell it has an excellent
president. The split was the result of
the election for vice president The SUD-
porters of the successful candidate are
entirely satisfied with the election. while
those who had upheld the defeated young
lady are anything but satisfied. In the

meeting Of the Philodemlc Society Of
Georgetown was held last Monday even
ing. The principal feature of the evening
was the erection OF officers. Mr.. J. II.
o.BIien. .,04.f was chosen after a lively
fsht, to Ill the office OF president. The
fight was one of the most spirited that has
been held over any election at the college
for some time. Mr.. Frank Kane. '03. was
the other candidate for the presidency.
The supporters Of both young men were
about even In number. and four ballots
had to be cast before the matter could
be properly settled.
The other officers chosen were J. Miller,
'04. vice president; Hall Lusk. 'Oi. record
ing secretary; Seth Shepard. 'ol. CORES
ponding secretary. and Francis Foy. CEN
sor. Messrs. John Rourke. '03. OF Geor-

much-coveted positions on the Merrick
Debate next year. These elections also
were very strongly contested. as it is con-
sidered the highest honor that can befall
a student at Georgetown to be elected to
place on the Merrick Debate.
Philodemic Society Prosperous.
The Philcdemic Society has had one Of
its most prosperous years. Its members
say that the organization was never bet
ter conducted in its history. The debates
have been numerous. They have also been
well prepared and well delivered. Much
OF the society's success was due to the
earnest endeavors of Rev. J. E. Mullen,
Mr.. Joe Lynch. and NJ. I. J. Costigan.
The first examination of the college
classes was held last Monday. The others
will follow in rapid succession. and will
continue until June IS.
The students are busy working upon the
College Annual. and 1t is hoped that they
will complete their task as successfully
as their predecessors Of the year before.
Louisiana Club Banquet.
The members of the famous Louisiana
Club are making great preparations for
their annual banquet. The event will oc
cur some time during the latter part of
the month. No definite time or place for

PRESIDENT HARRISON'S WINE.
Plea of University Student as to It's
Sudden Disappearance.

The late President Harrison was a cen
noisseur Of rare old wines, although hs
was extremely temperate in his use of
them. At the time when he visited STAN
ford University to deliver four lectures en-
international law for a Tee of SO. COO (Which
is probably the record price for university
lectures) he was quartered in one OF the
college halls, where suite OF rooms had
been especially prepared for him. Imme-
diately after his arrival there came also
case of rare old clarets, burgurd-s s.
and Madeiras, which were placed in one
OF the rooms set apart for his use
The next day all these wines had dis.
appeared and the only reminder of their
previous existence was found in long
train OF empty bottles in the midst OF the
campus. When President Jordan heard
of this he summoned before him the stu
dents Of the university and made them
little address, in the course of which he
said that he was about to institute an in
vestigation into the purloining of Mr.. Har-
risons wines, and that 1t would go much
easier with the guilty persons il they
would have the manliness to come forward
and own up. After he had ceased speak
ing there was long pause, and presently
one Of the students in the back part OF the
room rose and said with bland imper-
sonal air:
Mr.. President. the bylaws of the uni
versity forbid the bringing OF any winss
or spirituOus liquors uTon the university
grounds or into the university buildings.
Consequently. Il any wines or spirituous
liquors have been so brought in. and IL
they have disappeared. which We all re-
gret. they have probably been seized as
contraband. and therefore the owner has
no redress
President Jordan made few somewhat
inarticulate remarks and then dismissed
the meeting. Nothing more was said
about the wine. and 1t is probable that
Mr.. Harrison's legal mind recognized the
force of the point that had beer raises
against him.-BeverageS.

at Central over the coming competitive
drill of the High School Cadet Regiment
Indeed, military affairs have had quite
a boom during the last two weeks, with
the sham battle and the coming drill.
All the captains at the Central High
School. including the captains of TIE Map-
ual Training School companies. are very
sansuine of success. The girls are 6cgin-
nin= to get in practice for the day OF days.
and are rehearsing yells and cheers every
recess and afternoon. The rooters for
the schools are nearly all made up Of
girls as most OF the boys are members
OF the battalion.
The judges who will decide the drill
have been appointed. but their names
have not yet been made public. II was
stated that they have had several con-
ferences with Col. Burton r. Ross. mill
tary instructor of the High School Cadets
Y. II. C. A. Field Meet.
Another interesting event which Is to
take place May "a is the Y. NJ. c. A. field
meet. Several of the Central boys will
take part in the events. which will include
almost every thing that could possibly be
put on an amateur program. Prominent
among the scholars of Central who VIII
participate is Capt. Dick Dear, who has
already won for himself name in anna
teur athletics. having secured prizes
against college men several years older
than himself. His special stunt Is the
100 and 320 yard dashes.
Inspection Occurs Wednesday.
Captain Brett, inspecting officer OF the
United States Army. has made arrange
ments to inspect all the arms and accou-
terments OF the First Battalion High
School Cadets on Wednesday morning. The
other schools will be inspected at times
convenient to the inspecting officer.

Senate District Committee, and formerly
secretary of the Parking Commission,
which went abroad last year to make
study of the parks of the foreign coun-
tries with view of perfeeting tha parks

ture at the teachers meeting held at

The talk was interesting and thoroughly
enjoyed by the audience.
Technical High School.
The shop work at the Manual Training
School is being ended up for the year.
The work the students have turned out
this year. according to the instructors,
is some of the finest that the boys have
ever done.
Plans are being made for an exhibition
OF the work of the year. and, il possible.
it will be held in the new building at the
corner OF Seventh Street and Rhode Island
Avenue. This is rather doubtful. how
ever. as the building may not be COM
pleted.

score of 10 to 9. A controversy arose at the
end OF the game as to the score. The
Centralites claimed that they had nine
runs. and that the Business had only Sc
cured nine. The claim did not come up
until after the game was over and the
players had left the field. There was no
official scorer at the game. and there was
no positive way of telling just what the
score was. The majority Of the people
said it was 10 to 9. and those who had kept
the score throughout the game were sure
of the Business victory.
Captain Purcell. OF the Central team.
stated at the end OF the game that he in
tended to protest the game As far as
could be ascertained. however. no protest

visers. the board which decides these

Students Still Rejoicing.

The students are still rejoicing over the
defeat they inflicted some time ago upon
the Debating Society of the University of
Virginia.
Social functions among the students are
somewhat on the wane Just at present
owing to the near approach of the end of
the year and the rapidity with which the
final examinations are following each 9TH
er. 1t is just at the time of the year
when work must be rushed and lessons
mastered perfectly. for to fail now would
mean failure to graduate at the end Of
the term. All is hustle aah activity, for
the commandments of the various depart
ments are being prepared for and other
arrangements made

talk was highly instructive to the pupils
who take up the study of commercial law
Owing to the extremely limited time al
lowed the students for each study they
are able TO devote but little time to the
law course, and consequently cannot mas
ter it as thoroughly as they would like.
In his talk Mr.. Thom dealt with many
of the points which the pupils are unable
TO take up in their regular studies, and
succeeded in impressing them SO thor
oughly upon his hearers that they prac-
tically secured the benefit of two or three
extra lessons in the ole hours talk

"Central's Days Are Over"

Overjoyed by their glowing defeat of
the Central nine, the Business pupils at
once set one Of their class poets at work
to grind out large number Of songs. all
touching more or less upon the topic.
''Central's Days Are Over" Quite a
number Of these verses, when finished,
were declared suitable for the purpose.

At the same time the followers OF the
baseball nine became greatly elated over
a similar victory. Jim" Finley, the cap
tain OF the nine, resigned his position and
ceased being a supporter OF athletics at
the Western. The redoubtable Jim" quit
his job with many expressions of disgust
at the men he had attempted to general.
II is said that he loudly proclaimed the
fact that he was utterly disguised with
the material he had to work with and
considered the baseball prospects at the
Western absolutely hopeless.
And IT is also said that as he stepped
down out Of his Office he was presented
with billet Of expressions from some OF
the teachers setting forth the disgust
with which they held the poor manage
ment Of the team and stating where they
thought tho fault lay for the defeats
Western had sustained this year. The
