GOODS IN A FROLlC.
Missouri University Girls Bar
Males From Novel Show.
rWo, HOWEVER, SLIP BY GUARDS

Women Policemen Used clubs on In
truders and Threw Them out OF
the Front Door-startIing Features.
Including Flights, Riots, Races and
ComicaI Parades.
The co-eds of Missouri university gave
an exhibition the other day which for
novelty and startling features broke
all records at Columbia, Mo. The show
was called "The Midway"
All males were barred, but a howl
ing mob Of students crowded the cam
pus and tried vainly to get ia. Two Of
them took advantage Of the fact that
the girl participants entered the hall
disguised as Indians and negroes and
cot past the guards dressed as negro
women, Their sex was discovered by
the size Of their feet. -Four girls dress
ed as policemen rushed upon them,
dubbed them until they fell to the
floor and then threw them out Of the
front door.
a country fair. with other features,
was represented, including side shows
in little tents pitched In the corridors,
a baby show, a shooting gallery, a TO
raj hail, race track, an animal show,
street parade and other features.
Wives Of the professors took promi-
nent part, We're entered ia the races
and appeared as freaks in the side
shows.
10 keep 10 the delusion girls dressed
as farm hands and dead game sports
engaged at intervals ia rough and tum-
bic fights. The girls CARRIED as police
men rushed upon them and apparently
beat them into submission with their
clubs. A girl dressed as a football man,
padded suit, nose guard and all, for a
time stood off the entire police force,
but was finally overpowered.
A band Of Indians created much dis
turbance by flirting with the wild wo-
men in the side shows, but We're finally
driven Off by the police A ringmaster,
with a huge mustache, bossed the show.
She was frequently called upon to
quell riots at the shooting gallery and
at the baby stand where the girls
threw balls at the dummies with sur
prising accuracy. One girl bowled over
five tar babies as they call them, in
succession.
A special feature was a grand pa
rade, the line Of march being up and
down the corridors on the second floor.
1t was headed by a band Of twelve
girls, playing on bazzoos, hair combs
and tin horns.
Features of the parade were: A girl
leading toy ponies on rollers with
string, a giraffe operated by two girls
beneath the dummy; big peacock on
wheels, several stuffed ROSTERS, d sa-
cred COW, a cage with a figure Of a sea
lion chained on top and huge stuffed
tiger, with several kittens.
a smaller procession, known as the
baby parade, followed the first. 1t
was made up of ten girls dressed in
baby clothes and carrying rattles and
milk bottles, each accompanied by a
buxom negro nurse. The programme
was concluded with the races.
The track was through the main cor
ridors. Girls in pairs, with their feet
tied together, hoped down the corri-
dor, wildly cheered by the crowd. An
other feature was a hurdle race, with |
stools for hurdles, in which there were
many bad tumbles, but no one was
hurt

among his best friends the 9cabby'

by the dumb animals, and thereby
hangs a tale Of how a United States
senator missed his train few nights
ago.
Senator Fairbanks, anxious TO catch
a train for indianapolis, rushed out OF
the Annex entrance about $50 o'clock
the other evening and looked about for
the carriage he had engaged 10 take

engaged was not to be seen among

and its area is 32.3S0 square miles,
says the Philadelphia Public Ledger.
About half the territory. principally ii
the middle and western parts. is set

a few rowing Indians The grazing in
dustry has attained some Importance
in the western districts. agriculture IL
everywhere backward, and the manu-
features are insignificant.
Gold is mined in small quantities.
and coal and other minerals are re-
ported. The forests are rich III cabinet
woods. The pearl fisheries Of the Pa
cifc coast have existed since the CON
quest and are still important.
Panama was the first region In con-
tinental America settled By Europeans.
The isthmus was Incorporated with
the vice royalty Of New Granada III

Because Major James X Vardaman,
governor elect Of Mississippi, wears
long hair the convicts Of that state have
formed a secret compact among them
selves to let their hair grow ana also
to exchange their Baptist creed for
Methodism, says New Orleans dis
patch. The same tendency has mani
tested itself among AIississippis con
Wet farms generally. The convlcts ap-
pear to think that by following the
fashion set by the governor they will
line up for executive leniency. When
Governor McLaurin was in the execu-
tive chair there were no Methodists
in the penitentiary When Governor
Longino came, with the Baptist pref
erences. they saw their error and turn
ed with singular unanimity to the
tenets Of that denomination. Now that
Governor Vardaman is so near being
the arbiter Of their fate they will
doubtless all swing back TO the Metho-
dist church, 10 which the major be-
longs.

ENGLAND sTILL AGITATED.
Opinion of Colonies on Fiscal Reform
 Anxiousiy Awaited.

London, Sept. 19.--The newspapers this morningare crammed with discus sions and speculations regarding the political publication brought about by the resignation of MT Chamberlain, Chancellor of the Exchequer Ritchie and Lord George Hamilton. but no fresh development has yet been an nounced. The Marquis of Lansdowne, regarding whose intentions there is the greatest interest. has gone to Balmoral to relieve Lord Balfour, Of Burleigh, as the minister in attendance upon the king.
 Both political parties have already commenced active preparations for the coming campaign, and the opinion is sought of every man of prominence, at home and in the colonies, whose ideas are likely to have influence. MT. Asquith, who is by many regarded as the future leader of the liberal party, telegraphed yesterday: The situation tn all it's essentials Is unchanged. The duty of the liberals to defend free trade is as plain and urgent as before''
 The opinion of the colonies is anx- iously canvassed as being the most im- Dortant factor in the situation. Sir Edmund Barton, the premier of the Australian commonwealth, has declar- ed in an interview that he is convinced that MT. Chamberlain will ultimately triumph, and that till that triumph is achieved there will be no real union of the empire.
 The Standard to-day anticipates that MT. Balfour will have at least four cab inet seats and two or more under-sec-s retaryships at his disposal, and strongly urges him to make clean sweep of the discredited ministers and appoint men of real ability, even such men as Lord Cromer and Lord Milner, if the country would gain thereby.

ALASKAN BOUNDARY.
Pertinent Question. Asked by Ameri-
 can comn,lssioners.

e { f # < s @ ' l5
 London, Sept. 1s.--When the Alaskan boundary commission resumed it's ses- sions to-day Attorney General Finlay was subjected by Secretary Root and Senators Lodge and Turner to fire of questions in connection with his attempt to show that the boundary should run from the head of Portland canal direct ly westward to the point where the mountains, claimed by the Canadians las the boundary. intersect the fifty sixth parallel of latitude.
 The contention of the United States is that the boundary continues up to Bear River Valley, from the head of Portland Canal to the fifty-sixth paral- Tel. Mr. Root called the attorney gen. erals attention to the fact that Van- couver referred to Marsley Pass as the head of the canal, and asked if 1t was not natural to suppose that the sigma tories of the treaty intended the line to follow this pass to the ify-sixth de- gree
 The attorney general replied that the line under the treaty could not run far ther than the water canal, and from that point must seek the mountains at the fifty-sixth parallek
 Senator Lodge suggested that this would mean that the line must cross the mountains to reach those points de- scribed in the Canadian case, which the attorney general evaded touching upon.

THE BALKAN SITUATION.
A Dsmunition of War ApprehensioDs
 tn ConstantInople.

London, Sept. 19.-The situation in the Balkans undoubtedly occupies to some extent the imperial meeting at Vienna. The German chancellor, Won Buelow, paid a visit lasting ninety minutes to the Austro-Hungarian premier yester- day. At the Bulgarian agency in Vii |enna it was declared that under any |circumstances Bulgaria would await the result of the meeting between Emperor Francis Joseph and the czar before talk ing any decisive steps. s...
 There is no diminution of the war ap- |prehensions in Constantinople, where it is believed that war would already have broken out but that the concentration |of Turkish troops at Adrianople upset the Bulgarian plans of a dash on Con- stantinople with large army in the hope of avoiding protracted campaign, which would operate in Turkeys favor.
 The Turkish embassy in London is now daily issuing reports of successes over Bulgarian bands in various dis tricts.
 To-day the embassy reports that Chikmanoff,. one of the principal con- federates of the Bulgarian revolution |ary committee. has been arrested at Viza, seventy-four miles northwest of Constantinople.
 Inquiries made by the Associated Press regarding the massacre at Kas- toria tend to show that the number of killed has been exaggerated
 Dispatches from Athens report that Greece is cordoning her frontier with troops to prevent the incursion of Bull garian refugees.
 Sofia, Bulgaria, Sept. 1S.-A distinctly optimistic tone now pervades govern ment and diplomatic circles here, and hopes are again expressed that war may. after all, be averted From Lon don and Constantinople encouraging news has been received. From London lit is reported that the British govern ment will send fleet to Turkish wa ters, while reports from Constantinople state that Great Britain, France and Italy have intervened to prevent the continuance of massacres in Macedo- |nia
