engaged in gathering up fragments of
human bodies and putting them away
in the locker. He discontinued the
work to show us around.
"The Roddam presented an awful
spectacle. She looked as II she had

to her like cement and was two feet

He said the Roddam had been In
st. Pierre only an hour when the erup-

agent in boat alongside when a big

from the island. 1t was like black

their ordinary vocations and devoted
themselves to prayer and fasting.
This was the closing period OF

great Lisbon earthquake, the eruption
of the mighty mountain was the most
frightful cataclysm known to the
world up to that time. The whole
configuration of the island was
changed. The eastern end sank into
the sea. and where 1t stood there is
now a great depth of water. The vol
canic forces remained quiescent until
1882, and then the warning rumble
was heard again; but it was false

Mrs. lannon's Lecture.

A good crowd was highly enter
tanned at the Christian church last
Friday night by Mrs. w. j. Lhamon
in an illustrated lecture on the work
of the Christian Woman's Board of
Missions. The meeting was opened
with prayer and scripture reading by
Mrs. H. H. Banks, member of the
local board. She emphasized the
Importance of thei work and insisted
on other devoted wOmen becoming
members. After a musical selection
Mrs. Lhamon was introduced and
made IA most helpful talk, showing
stereopticon views of the workers in
the foreign field and many scenes
from the domestic life of the natives.

Offering was taken for the work.

The City and Sidewalks.

What about sidewalks? inquired
the Statesman man of Mr.. Crouch
who is one of the active members
of the City Council. He replied:
you may say to the people that
there is no authority given the City
Council to build sidewalks except
on petition of the property wner
We can order a bad walk condemned
and remove it but we can not order
walks down nor build them except
upon petition. The people will find
us ready to grant these petitions
and to help build the walks.
"If people who are kicking the
City Council would only read up on
this matter there would be less
noise and more petitions, less talk
and more walks"

The Student Riot?

What has been paraded for a week
by the city dailies as a ''student
riot" at the University has come
and gone and few if any Columbians
were able to magnify the little
rowdyism last Friday night into a
Student riot" The gravity of the
affair has been recklessly overdrawn
by the dailies as is usually the case
students evidently did things that
evening they had not intended to do
and things for which they are now
sorry. A large majority of the
participants in the ''riot" deplore
the fact that any violence was done.
That a rock was thrown through a
window into the reception parlors
hasn't the least approval of the
participants as a body. Boys of the
town and students from other schools
took n part in the evenings jubilee
and it is certainly not strange that
at least n black sheep manifested
his presence in this motley
conglomeration. Out of the great
student body of this town no one
could be startled should it develop
that there was u criminal among
this immense number. Because of
this discovery, however, it would
be unfair to class a thousand of his
associates as criminals because
they are all jumbled up together in
the every day occurrences of a
school career.
Outside of the indignities shown
President Jesse and Profs. Jones,
Hoffman and Defoe, the actions
of the University students, proper,
were in the main innocent, at least
e%xcusable. A few of the students
are reported to have jeered at Presi-
dent Jesse when he sought to ad-
wise them. Such a course is to be
condemned and vas doubtless the

Last Tuesday evening the Chapel
of Stephens college boosted a large
and attentive audience; the oc-
c%asion, Il theatrical entertainment
given by six young ladies of the
Alpha Omega Sorority. AS the play
lected called for representatives of
the masculine sex, the young ladies,
accustomed to doing without that
article, ingenious through necessity,
had improvised a few out of pretty
girls and masculine attire. These
self-made men deported themselves
with the dignity befitting gentlemen.
They strobe about the stage, kicked
owe furniture, kissed the waiting
maids and even swore, a little.
The entertainment was, in fine, q
success, Miss Lancaster took the
part of leading lady, and Miss
Callie Taylor of leading man.

Domestic Science at the Uni
yerSity.

To mend a shirt, scrub q floor,
make a pumpkin pie, cut a pig into
sausages-this is not the half the
students in the Domestic Science
department of the University are
learning to do. How all this is
accomplished without the mussing
of a frilled cap or the staining of a
finger tip is a secret of the Science,
and a charming mystery to Column
bia young gentlemen, who crowd
the steps of the Agricultural build
ing in the hope of glance from a
saint-like eye, or a Whit of that in
cense vapor from the cook stove.
This department was organized in
October, 1900; since that time the
students have increased by two
fold, the manifested public interest
by ten. The work is considered I'M
der the various heads: Cooking,
Sewing, and General House Work,
such as, Sanitation and: Hygiene,
House decorations, etc.
The girls in the sewing room
draft their patterns according to a
system Of Miss Zabriskie's own.
The garments turned out are of
plain cotton material supplied by
the students. A most interesting
feature in connection with this de-
partment since it nerves the girls to
effort and renders them in touch
with the public, is the occasional
sewing exhibit, n of such to be
given but a few weeks from this

fortunately is always limited to four
guests, well-fed members of the
faculty at that. AS yet but two
students, Miss Alta Jackson and
Miss Harriet Gerould, have COM

young ladies presented their final es-
says IN the shape of elaborate, ten
course dinners, in the consideration
