avoid breaking any new paths
Through the tangle of municipal
affairs. Why doesn't the News-Dem-
ocrat abuse President Foreman for
appointing 50 poor a Democrat, as to
heed the dictates OF reason instead OF
George Walters?
When the question of paying
Hicks salary for January came up,
Alderman Oeh,schlaeger, Republican,
voted with the three Democrats. and
that proposition carried. We're not
going to abuse him for lack of parti-

The trouble on Fourth street is that
George Walters, was showed into the

get hold of the city funds. They
were not satisfied to await the decis-
ion of the court and permit city affairs
to remain uncomplicated in the mean

Now, that they have found some
Democratic officials, who are solicit
tious OF the city's welfare more than
of the success of George Walters ad-
venture, their personal organ begins
its TRADE of tommyrot.

reciprocal visits. At the end of the con-
versation some bite the glass, others let
the wine or beer run down their nose like
a channel into their mouth, while others
again seize their glasses and locking their
arm drink till the glasses are empty.
Where They Meet.
one form of corps entertainment, which,
however, is now much modified. is the
Hosplz. Upon invitation the members meet
in a Kneipe COR saloon) or in the rooms
Of one of the corps. The president is
seated at a table with a house key as sym
Dol of unfettered liberty before him. As
members arrive he takes away their sticks
and daggers and deposits them in a closet.
The guests sit down and are handed filled
pipes and a "fidibus' or blazing pipe
lighter. Bread, cheese and butter, followed
by coffee, are offered. After this the real
work Of the meeting begins-the drinking.
A huge can of beer stands on a stool be-
side the president. The latter calls for
silence and by the repplng Of the house
key three times on the table the Hospiz
is duly opened. Thenceforward only the
president pours out the beer unless lie ap-

to ladies absent, lastly to ladies known
to be admired by those present. Married
women or women Of doubtful reputation
must not be toasted IN the Hospiz.
Their DueIinE Way.
The nature and object OF the German
student duels which characterize all corps
are, according 10 the German view, indeed,
according TO that Of the kaiser, too, as
expressed in one OF his early speeches,
misunderstood by foreigners. They were
originally meant. as they are meant to-
day. as a chivalrous exercise for the pur-
pose OF training a young man unflincl ingly
to stand up to his opponent. whether on
the university duelllng ground or on the
battlefields OF later life. They wee, and
are, Intended toto use the kalser's word

tirctive colors and customs, the latter
mainly connected with beer and wine drink
ing Every student of a German university
does not necessarily belong to a corps or
other organization, but probably 400 out Of
every 1000 do. The remainder for various
reasons, want of means-a student should
nave at least 5000 a year to belong to the
Bcrussia-poor physique or personal disin-
clination, belong to no corps or club.
The student corps and clubs Of all sorts
go back to the fourteenth century, when
the first European universities were es-
tablished at Bologna, Paris and Orleans.
These universities were not such in the
modern sense OF the word, called from
the universally of their teachings, but
rather as denoting a corporation contra
ternity or collegium, and were really cen
ters Of society in the towns where they
were established. The most renowned of
them was that of Paris, where arose the
first student corps, known as the German
Nation of Paris. a corporation with stat
utes, oaths, costumes, standards and other
distinctive and gaudy features. At first,
curiously enough IL contained more Eng
lishmen than Germans. The nation" had
a president, a treasurer and a notary to
look after the legal affairs. Drinking was
the main concern of the corps. In several
university towns the various corps are
the owners OF fine club houses.
Earliest of the Bodies.
The earlies form Of the German student
corps was the l-andmannschaft From this
the more aristocratic born gradually
dropped off and formed corps OF their own.
To the landmannschaft. composed Of elders
and juniors, the newcomers, called Females,
were admitted after painful ceremonies and
test dueIs, ard became something Ike the
"fags" at an English public school, The
-landmsnnschaft was not at first designed
to cement friendship among the members.
but more to keep alive the spirit OF nation
atty. The purpose OF the corps Is now diff
ferent 1t is 70 produce perpetual friend
ships for life, and this may account for the
fact that the kaiser has so steadily stuck
TO the comrades OF his Bonn and Borussia
days.
The custom OF drinking brotherhood" Is
common at corps meetings. One, usually
a newcomer. addresses another. saying
III / I'm not In the eyes Of the gentleman
too young or Insignificant. l would like to
inquire about him and be %brotherly with
him" The other replies: Drink with me
in Gods name, II viii please me much .
Then he drinks out his glass and as he
hands it freshly filled TO the newcomer,
adds: MY name is so-and-so. / will dc
what pleases YOU" Then they are silent,
