0NE Of the most thrilling As well as
~ most effective political speeches
ever delivered in any convention was
uttered in q quiet conversational tone by
a sightlcss soldier in Detroit in the
spring Of 1904.
Major Griffin represented the Detroit
district in the national House Of
Representatives. and he was a diligcnt.
faithful Congressman: but his hearing
was defective. growing worse. 80 that
he was almost wholly deaf lie had
no enemies: but he had rivals. and one
Of them who was anxious to go to Con-
grcss started the story that Major
Griffin's deafness incaracitated him for
public life. and spread the falsehood
that the Speaker Of the House could not
do anything for Major Griffin nor for his
constituency. on account Of his intirmity.
So diligently was this scheme worked.
while other games were bcing quietly
PLAYED, that when convcntion-timc came
it WAS practically settled that Major
Griffin would lc defeated.
The momcntOus day came, the pee.

and nominating speeches were in order.
Before they were made. however. there
arose an outcry from convention floor

Kuropatkin has been highly COM
mended for his skill in efecting re-
treats from the battle field with so
little loss. His success in this line
is largely due to the quality of the
common soldiers that constitute his
armies. 1t will be remembered that
on no occasion have the soldiers suf-
fered a panic, and, never losing their
heads, they are under control
by the officers, The officers can
thus handle their columns without
their being thrown into confusion.
The Russian is of phlegmatic tenn

cious. He does not realize that he
is beaten until afterwards. The
Anglo Saxon has the characteristics
of the Slav and the Latin in nearly a
perfect balance. He knows when
to begin-when he thinks he is pre-

when he is beaten. But he is tena-

tries again, and again. He doesn't

John Howard, SO years old, who
died at Milwaukee Monday, was a
veteran of the Mexican and civil
wars. He was captured by the Con-
federates and sentenced to be hung,
but Gen. Grant, a personal friend,
sent word to the Confederate officers
that if Howard was executed two of
the captive Confederate officers
would be executed in retaliation.
On this representation the sentence
was committed to imprisonment in
Andersonyille. He was the chief
prosecuting witness against Captain
Wirz, the officer in charge, when he
was tried and executed after the
war.

At the University.
4 new arrangement has be

A new arrangement has been
made between the Wisconsin Nor
NAL schools and the University of
Wisconsin, which is regarded as of
great importance, since it un;tes as
closely as possible the higher educa-
tional institutions supported by the
state. In accordance with the new
plan, graduates of the Normal
schools will receive enc years credit
towards the degree Of bachelor of
arts at the University, and those
graduates who select their studies in
the Normal school with special
reference to entering the University
will receive credit for year and
half towards that degree.
The second semester of the Uni
versity of Wisconsin opened with an
increase in attendance of II. Of
those 80 are new students, and II
are former students who have re-
turned to continue and complete
their studies. The most marked in
crease is in the Graduate School
where twelve new students have
entered, making the total enrolment
of the Graduate school l43, against
'II5 last year, an increase of 20, or
over Is per cent. Five of these
new graduate students are graduates
of the University of Wisconsin, and
one each of Cornell University,
Western Reserve University, Ohio
State University, University of Cali
fornia, University of Missouri, Cor
nell College, and the University of
Gottingen. Fifteen of the new stu
dents are freshmen, ten adult spe-
Gals, eight Juniors, four specials, and
one junior law.
The courses in the School of Music
of the University of Wisconsin, and
especially those in the piano and
voice departments, have been rear
ranged and extended to cover
period of four years instead of three
as heretofore, and the requirements
for admission to the piano depart
ment have been slightly raised.
