The entertainment givenIat Trinity
University last evening by Prof.
Campbell, assisted by his faculty
and pupils of the music department,
was attended bv the largest, most
refined and cultured audience ever
assembled in the university chapel.
Every chair in the auditorium and
gallery was occupied and standing
room was at a premium. The edi-
tors, their wives, daughters and
sweethearts were there In full force
and IN the audience were several
hundred people from the city. The
entertainment was a rare musical
treat and was decidedly the best yet
given by Prof Campbell He and
his faculty and pupils acquitted
themselves grandly, every number
on the program being superbly rem
dered. The audience showed its
thorough appreciation Of the enter
tainment by hearty and spontaneous
outbursts OF applause. Each num-
ber was greeted with enthusiastic
approval and was called back the
second time. There was an artistic
touch given the rendition and ex-
ecutiOn Of the program seldom seen
in college entertainments. The songs
and instrumental selections were
from classical composers and the
perfect manner in which they were
presented attested the ability Of
those who appeared on the stage
Mr.. Campbell's voice was IN excel
lent condition and he never sang
sweeter and his notes never sounded
clearer or more distinct than on this
occasion. The songs rendered by
the young ladies composing the W.
G Turner Quartet were par ex-
cellence.
Just before the musical part Of the
program was commenced Mr.. Hud-
son, of the Light and Enterprise,
made a neat little speech in intro
ducing Prof. Hornbeak to the au-
dlence.
Prof. Hornbeak's speech referred
chiefly 10 the history OF Trinity

SLAVERY IN NEW ENGLAND.
Brought to an End by the Suprems
Court IT Mnssn chusctts
In 1888.

Slavery in New England began soon
after the settlement of the country.
In 1898 Pequot Indians were taken
from Massachusetts, and sold in the
West Indies. The vessel returning
brought cargo Of cotton and tobacco,
says the Boston Transcript. Slaves
were most numerous in New England
about the middle Of the eighteenth
century. In 1854 there were nearly
5000 negro slaves In the state Of Mas
sachusetts. In 1850, In the declaration
OF rights, all men we're declared to be
free and equal. In 1881 white man in
Massachusetts was indicted for beat
ing and imprisoning black man. His
defense was that this was the neces-
sary and lawful correction for slave,
for slave could not be held in sub
lection unless one could punish him
when he went away or refused to
work. In 1888 the supreme court OF
Massachusetts, declared that the de-
Tense was invalid. That put an end to
slavery in New England. Slaves were
mostly household servants, kept large
ly by rich people for purposes Of dis
play.

HOPE TO REACH POLE
German Explorers to Use Submarine
Boat and Wireless Telegraph.
By tho Employment of These Two
Modern Inventions They Expect
to Succeed In Gaining the
Much SOught-FOr SPOT.

A daring naval expedition 10 being
organized by two German explorers
who are determined to reach the north
pole. A specially constructed subma-
rine boat is expected to overcome the
difference hitherto encountered. Wire
less telegraphy also is to be employed.
The leaders of the expedition are
Herr De Scholl, of Munich, and DR.. An
schuetz Kuempfe. The latter has re-
ceived financial aid for the construc-
tion of novel submarine boat, which
will penetrate beneath the icebergs.
Herr Scholl has organized a separate
expedition to erect wireless telegraph
station and observatory between the
seventy-eighth and eightieth degrees
Of latitude. This station will COM
municate with the submarine boat.
which will likewise be equipped with
wireless telegraphy apparatus.
Siemens & Halske, of Berlin, oper-
ating the Braun wireless system, is
backing Herr Scholl and is preparing
special instruments for the wireless
telegraph station, which will make
Meteorological, magnetic, oceano-
graphic and other scientific investiga-
tions. The results will be conveyed
by means of wireless telegraphy to
the civilized world.

TEXAS "TURNIP KRAUT."
a Dish That Il Common Upon the
Tables of the Farmers of tho
Lone Star state.

In many parts of Texas the question
in the fall is: What can we do with our
superabundance Of turnips? In south
Texas discussion is going on in re-
gard to this vegetable which may be
Of interest to the people who do not
know what to do with turnips when
they have more than they can use,
says the Galveston News. The Hal
lettsville Herald has this to say:
"The Herald clipped an item from
the La Grange Journal last week rela-
tive to 'turnip kraut,' which that paper
stated was something previously un-
known in this section. The editor ac-
knowledges that he had never heard
Of turnip kraut before, but he has
since been informed by several parties
in Ilallettsvlle that it is nothing new.
There are many families in this city
who make it every year, and one in
formant tells us that every German
farmer in Lavaca county either makes
II or knows Of it. Turnip kraut is diff
ferent from other kraut, but Is equal
ly as palatable. The turnips are cut
with either a cabbage or potato cut
ter and made with salt and vinegar.
1t is heavier and has more substance
than plain kraut, and has a firm, white
appearance. A day never passes but
what one learns something new, and
we have added turnip kraut to our de-
Dartment Of knowledge"
