GIRLS PLEASE
In GYM STUNTS
Jump Horses and Swing Clubs
In Form That Makes
Boys Jealous

The Y. W. c. A. gym" girls gave
an exhibition of physical culture last
night that ought to make the Y. M. G.
A. athletes jealous, but unfortunately
the limited space for an audience per-
mitted only the inviting of feminine
friends, and even so the place was
crowded. Under the leadership of
Miss Seipp, the physical director, the
juniors and seniors rivalled each
other in dumb-bell and wand drills,
in flying through space on the rings,
and in somersaulting over the iron
and leather horse. The tambourine
drill was a prettyt evolution.
The exhibition closed with electric
club swinging by Miss Seipp. Blue
and yellow incandescents at the end
of her clubs twinkled like stars in
the darkened room. Miss Seipp was
presented with a bouquet of red car
nations and a specially-constructed
yell by her pupils.
Miss Elizabeth Condit, chairman of
the physical department. Miss Pauline
PiersOn, and Miss Grace Goldberg
played for the exercises. Before the
exhibition Miss Condit gave a piano
solo and Miss Lulu Lewis sang.

dav the archbishop called upon me and
said that he had been trying 10 find
out what the committee was going to

acratic politician of that time, aud
father of the widely known General
Martin r. MacMahon, 10 find out from
Senator Smith whether the committee
was going TO report the bill. But Mac
Mahon had been unable to get that
information.

the archbishop the next day that II
was impossible to get the slightest
hint from Senator Smith what the dis

reported favorably or unfavorably.

archbishop's eye when / told him this.
His indignation was superb.
Mr. Weed he said. there are only
two things which l cannot forgive IN
a public man. One Is lying, and the
other is cowardice. This man smith is

that il his committee reports the bill

questions, but when you see the re-
suit of the vote upon election day you

you
Il kept my own counsel never
hinted to anyone what the archbishop

election. the returns showed that the
Senator in question had been COM

that the work had been done SO secret

politician. And that opinion was
