bids fair to be settled conclusively and for
all time at the meeting tomorrow evening
in the National Theater between the de-
baters of Georgetown and Columbian uni
versities. The prize orators of these two
great educational institutions have spent
several weeks grooming for the battle
royal, in which the only effective weapons
of warfare are analysis, argument and elo-
quence. Seats at the theater are at a
premium. and it Is understood that half
dozen standing room only signs are be-
ing Tade especially for the occasion. The
auditorium will be divided in two sections,
the eastern half for Columbian, where her
orange and blue bunting and streamers
champions to greater efforts. On the west
ern half there will be draped the blue and
gray of Georgetown. The students and
friends of the two universities will gather
beneath their respective colOrs, and college
songs and unintelligible yells will serve to
break any possible monotony.
This will be the second debate In series
of three between Georgetown and Column

lie debates of the society at CASTOR Hall
last year. and this year he was most ac-
tive member of the society, delivering many
forceful and logical speeches from the floor
of the hail. In the preliminary contest
he impressed his audience as a speaker
with the combined powers of logical elo-
quence and oratory.

Speeches Made by Representatives
MCCARTHY and Hinshaw,

The members of the Nebraska Republican
Associate in Washington held a combin-
ed social and business meeting last evening

by President Winter, and in addition to a

thy and Hinshaw of Nebraska delivered
addresses
Mr.. Mccarthy spoke of current politics in
the state and declared that from present
indications the republicans will sweep
Nebraska clean" in the coming election.
He complimented the members of the as
ISOLATION on being Nebraskans and men,
toned some of the points In which, he said,
the state of Nebraska excels other COM
mOnwealths of the Union.
Representative Hinshaw among other
things, declared that in his opinion Neb.
raska has not been getting her share of ap-
polntments In the government service. This
condition, he said. is certainly not because
or the standing of the applicants before the
civil service commission, or because the
residents of Nebraska do not pass at high
averages In the examinations. He spoke of
the general prosperous condition of the
state. exclusive of the years 1894 and 1895.
during which years. he said. the people of
Nebraska suffered greatly because of crop
failures and other adversities The ex-
perfer ce gained in those years of adversely
Mr.. Hinshaw said. taught the people les
sons In economy and sacrifice, and pros
perfty has been the result of the practice
OF greater economy and increased careful
ness on the part of the producers of the
state.
In speaking of the prosperous conditions
In Nebraska, he mentioned that last year
the treasurer OF that state purchased So, O00,-
900 of Massachusetts state bonds. The
west. he said, saved the country from a
panic during the past year.

most complete misapprehens:ons with
regard to the voices of birddom oc.
ours when we listen to the monosyl.
Liable COO of the 'restful turtle dove.
BY no means musical sound in
Itself, yet it is so bound up in our
minds with the sleepy glamor of sum
mer afternoons that we imagine the
sitting dove as grooming to. herself
from sheer contentment with her lot.
Very different is the reality. That
drowsy monosyllable Is the voice of
the male dove. Usually he Is giving
peremptory orders to his wife to get
of the nest. in order that he may
take her place, and is she hesitates
to obey her enforces his commands
with sharp pecks upon the head. At
other times he seems merely to order
her off the nest for the pleasure of
witnessing her devotion to his per-
son."
