STUDENTS DEVILTRY.

The Sophomores at the State Uni
versity have been noting with live
ly interest, accounts of the perform
ance of the Yale Freshmen at the
glee club concert given in one of the
New Haven theatres the evening be-
fore the annual promenade OF the
Junior class. In fact, some Of the
Utah Sophomores rather think they
might on pinch take a cue, a sug-
gestion from the accounts read, with
reference to Sophomore assistance
TO Junior enjoyment at the coming
Junior debate at the u. of u.
According to the interesting mar
rative from New Haven, white mice
in bobon boxes and thousands of
yards of paper streamers caused the
untimely finish of the annual Yale
Glee club concert, for Fire Marshal
Goodwin had the curtain rung down,
as he considered the Hyperion thea
tire unsafe from the demonstration.
Clouds of paper streamers thrown
from the top gallery, on where the
Freshmen sat, covered the people in
the pit, so that the marshal claimed

CARD OF THANKS.

Myself and family wish to express
deep appreciation and thanks to all
the kind friends who in the hour of

of my husband, came SO nobly to our
aid, sustaining us both by deed and

his illness, death and burial.

The work on the Compiled Laws,
as we are advised by the printers, is
now up to section $500, out OF 500
in the book. The entire publication
less the index will be completed by
the time another Truth appears, in
the absence of wholly unlooked-for
contingencies, and the remainder of
the work will not require more than
two or three weeks; so that the volume
should be completed by the end of
the month with time to spare. This
is as it should be, but manifestly not
as some people would be glad 10
have it.

spark might ignite the inflam-
mable stuff, and set the whole house
in blaze. From the time that the
audience took their seats until the
performance was stopped by the fire
official, the Freshmen threw down
hundreds of yards of these streamers
upon the girls and their chaperones
who were guests at the Junior pro-
menade. When the marshal warned
the audience that the curtain would
be rung down if the gallery gods did
not let up, the deluge of paper be-
came worse than ever, whereupon
the fire official was as good as his
word.
Disorder marked the program from
start to finish The Freshmen low
cred what appeared to be dainty
boxes of chocolates for the girls,
who Immediately jumped to their
feet to seize the bonbon boxes. But
on breaking them, instead of choco-
latcs, white mice fell out into the
laps of the girls who screamed,
jumped up into their seats and grab
bed onto their skirts. The ushers
captured most of the mice from un-
der the seats, while the glee club
could not make itself heard more
than ten feet from the stage. Then
the Freshmen let down large
brown hen into the midst of the
promenade guests. The hen was
speedily shooed out into the foyer
where she was captured and carried
off in triumph by one of the ushers.
Later, the gods of the gallery let
down empty beer and whiskey bot
ties in front of the faces of the glee
club singers when they tried to sing.
1t was a regular love feast all round
for the underclassmen, but season
of anxious misery for the Juniors, in
general, and the university glee club
in particular, especially as the latter
would try desperately hard to Sing
with whiskey bottles dangling in
front of their faces.
