I.ETTER FROM MISS TYSON.

LETTER EhVM 1A40S S~
 The following letter from Miss Annie Tyson, who has gone abroad with tne party of Mrs Zach Smith of Birmingham will be of interest to her friends.
 On Board Graf waldersee,
 July 5, 190S.
 It is Sunday and I am writing on deck. We boarded the steamer Friday night. Promptly at o'clock Saturday morn ing the Graf Waldersee pushed out rom the dock. There was concourse or people. to bid her adieu and safe jour aey over the sea. It was peauutul clear morning. The sun shone brightly. The sea. smiled and rippled and seemed a casket of gems for it sparkled in many hues. Amid waving of handkerchiefs, the band playing the while, the great ship uulled out with a ten days voyage be- fore her How can l describe my sensa- tions as looked out over the water. The Waldersee is a freight steamer and that accounts for her wonderful steadiness. She is an immense vessel between five and six hundred feet long. We are very fortunate in having one of the best state rooms The fare is good and last night an excellent dinner was served, 1t being the fourth of July. However l shall write about it later. There are about twelve hundred souls aboard, including crew and officers. The Smith party sits at Lieutenant Graulph's table, he being the first lieutenant and one of the most popular on the Hamburg g-American line. Have we been seasick? We have not had the least suspicion of 1t. l do not think a single person on board has ex- perienced the slightest discomfort. Our principal occupations are to sleep and eat. Ats breakfast is announced. Lunch IS served at half past F and dinner at besides having tea, coffee, sandwiches and other light refreshments between times The band plays twice day, in the morning at 10 and during the even- ing collation., which of course makes the repast more enjoyable.
 On Friday evening there was dance The deck was enclosed and adorned with various flags of different nations. The band discoursed music until Il o'clock wish you could see the Germans dance. They simply whirl and whirl around until one, I imagine, would become quite dizzy.
 The fourth of July was spent most de- lightfully. Think of celebrating that day at sea. Germans and Americans alike Joined in the celebration. The dining saloon was decorated with German and American flags and ropes of green paper, intending to represent some vine, was festooned along the ceiling, which render ed the whole very effective. The band played American airs during an eight course dinner. The observance of the day semed to put every one in the best of humor and the fourth of July on board inc Graf Waldersee will ever be recalled with pleasure.

There is nothing about the new de-

that is immature or unhealthy. Found
ed on the self-sacrifice of patriotic men.
the school has been carefully guided by
conservative. far-seeing and devoted
officers through thirty-seven years until
its standing as a thorough going and
Christian college and its permanence
as an institution has become estab-
lished.
With this foundation the announce
ment that the college proposes to widen
its curriculum and give opportunities
for professional study has been received
with pleasure by its friends at home and
elsewhere, and with respect by the other
institutions whose interests differ from
Washburn's. No more practical propO-
sition could have been conceived than
the establishment of a we'll ordered law
school under its own shelter. There is
a field for it and unexcelled advantages
for It's maintenance. Topeka viii well
