Wisconsin Students Object to Till

Madison, Wis, Special to Washington
Post.
Much opposition has developed
among the students Of the University
Of Wisconsin against having Senator
Tillman. of South Carolina, speak be-
fore them. Senator Tillman was en-
gagged some time ago by the students
oratoricai association as one Of the lee
turers. Under the caption. DO We
Want Tilman?" The Cardinal, the
University daily. says:
Does Senator Tillman advocate
principles which are worth our while
to listen to? Are the ideals Of states
manship and manhood represented by
him such as to entitle him to the pa
tronage of a university association? It
cannot be forgotten that his conduct
and language in the senat have gone
beyond what we as individuals would
care to tolerate in our own homes. We
nave no quarrel with Mr.. Tillman and
If he came he would have a respectful
hearing; but the propriety Of having

university auspices his well-known
ideas OF southern problems Is doubt

Horace Hutchinson, in October Outing.

that was crucial, and made the difference
In class, one would have said IT was just
this: that the first-class player could bang
up his second shots from an Indifferent
but that the second-class player could not
get the ball away from a lie of this char
acter-realfy the general character of sec
ond shot Hes-without cutting the ball
He could not get 1T to rise without this cut
or slice. With the new ball. to take that
ball as the type of all the rubber-flled
kind of which / believe il TO have been the
used 10 be, can play those second shots
almost as well the hrst-class. There
are, therefore, a good many players that
the ball has hoisted up a class, in this man
ner. There are other players that the ha n
has given a similar hoist in a different
manner. Between first and second-class
players there was not much difference In
the length of the tee shots. nor, as between
them, has the India-rubber filed ball af-
fected this difference much. But as between
second and third-class players there was
an appreciate difference In the length of
the drive, and perhaps between them this
rather than the way of dealing with the
second stroke, was the crucial difference
that distinguished the classes. For gen
tie hitter, such as the third-class player
was apt to be, the new ball came as a
great advantage TO him from the tee IL

the coast the snow-capped peaks of noun

some mighty stream, a ribbon of silver
in the moonlight. In the morning they viii
separate. and wheeling down to the earth
will seek food and rest. That is. If they
live until the morning, for should clouds
darken the face of the moon. they might
lose their way, and be lured to their death
by lighthouses on the coast. At such times
they see only the light, and flying toward
it dash themselves against the solid mason
ry and fall dead or dying to the ground.
Sometimes, as they are crossing the sea,
great storm of wind and rain will arise,
beating back the tiny voyagers, in spite
of all their plucky efforts. Twittering
still to guide and encourage each other in
the awful blackness of the night, they
work their little wings to the very limit
of their strength. All to no avail. Their
voices are drowned by the bowling of the
storm, their plumage is watersoaked and
heavy. and the strokes of their pinions
become slower and weaker. Courageous
to the last, they are driven slowly back

leaping white caps lick them into the flood.
Next morning when the rain clouds have
passed away and when the anger of the

A NATURAL HISTORY STUDY
By ERNEST HAROLD BAYNEs.

One bright moonlight night. about year
ago, 1 went with a friend to the top of
hill to watch the birds which at this sea-
son are journeying toward the South in
countless thousands. We were soon aware
that had chosen a good night for the
work, for we heard, apparently from the
stars, an almost incessant twittering. which
proved that the winged voyagers were
passing over us in a steady stream. OF
course we could see nothing with our naked
eyes, but we had with us a telescope, and
through it we took turns in watching the
bright surface of the moon For hours we
watched. and during the whole of the time,
little black figures went 'flit-hit-fit"
across the glowing disk, sometimes at con-
siderable intervals, and at other times in
such rapid succession that we had difficulty
in keeping count OF them. Now and then
some large birds would pass, and from
some popularity in its flight it was pos
sible at times even to identify the species
to which 1t belonged. Such observations
may be made by any one at this season,
and any bird student who will take the
trouble to make them will get an insight
into the subject of bird migration which
he could scarcely get in any other way. OF
course almost every one is more or less &C
quainted with the annual fight of the wild
geese, and as they pass above in the
gray dawn Of a spring morning, each with
his neck extended towards the pole. they
form q picture which We could scarcely
forget; but to me it is not nearly i'm
pressive as the clear twitterings of mil
lions of smaller migrants, falling straight
through the frosty air of starlight night
In autumn. We are won't to boast of human
migration, and we speak with pride of ex-
press trains, ocean liners and rapid tran
sit. but let us once comprehend the annual
migration of the birds. and the travels of
men are dwarfed into insignificance. Fit

more likely to go beyond the limit than
women who have always seen wine about
them, have had it on their tables, whether
they drink it or not and are familiar with
the harm ii will do them. Such women
are much less likely TO go to extremes
than those who come to look upon drinking
as the accompaniment of every diversion
and entertainment.
That men drink less in New York clubs
than they did some years ago is reality
that has made Intoxicated men in clubs
rather rarity. There are, OF course,
men in every club who take too much to
drink; but they are exceptional.
One reason for this change Is the fact
that men now frequent clubs in the largest
numbers before dinner The most popular
hour in the clubs is between and $780,
as most men are going afterward to dinner,
and they must restrain themselves.
During recent years only one man has
been discussed in New York from his habit

he was no longer invited out, and before
his death a confirmed drunkard.
His conduct practically compelled his
was the disgust he caused Yet if drunken
ness had become so common, he would
never have been ostracised in this way.
Dinners in New York now are shorter
than they used to be, and simpler, so far
as the wines go. The old programme OF
sherry, Rhine wine, claret, champagne
and cordials is thing or the past. Two
wines are the usual number nowadays
Last winter there was a fashion for white
wine and champagne that put that COM
bination on almost every table at less
formal dinners and in nearly all the res
taurantS.
The number of courses at a dinner is
much smaller than II used to be. These
changes have all come because men and
women not only eat but drink less than
they did when a formal dinner was a
species of gorge in both respects. Even at
these diminished feasts In vogue to-day it
is interesting to notice how little women
eat and drink. They value their appear
