LETTER FROM HIRAM.

College life has not been very ac-

The first week that 1 was back, the
students had the pleasure to hear
"Those College Chaps" trio con-
sisting of three college fellows. They
have been giving concerts during the
year, but it was not until this time
that they could be persuaded to ap-

"The chaps" were Mr.. Taylor, imper-

The coming of Blanche Bates in a
new play, "The Witness for the De-
fense," has aroused the interest of
local playgoers to pitch of keen an
ticipation, which has not been felt here
in long time, and the audience which
will assemble to greet her will be in
every way one befitting the occasion
"The Witness for the Defense" tells
thrilling story of absorbing interest.
In the first act in lonely tent at
Chittipur on the plains of Rajputana
in India, young English woman is
living with scottish brute of hus-
band. He is on the verge of delirium
tremens and terriies his wife in his
mad alcoholic frenzy until she picks
up rifle and shoots him in self-de-
fense.
Next the scene changes to rural
England where, in a lovely old village
in Sussex, Mrs. Ballantyne is about
to marry young officer, Richard
Perrysburg journal. (Perrysburg, Wood Co., O. [Ohio]) 186?-1965, 1913-05-02

Hazzlewood, whom she loves devoted
ly. She has been tried for the murder
of her husband and acquitted on the
evidence of Henry Thresk, barrister
who has been her lifelong friend and
admirer. But Thresk knows that she
shot Ballantyne, and learning of her
forthcoming marriage to the young
officer, commands that she tell her
future husband of her past. The tor
tured woman realizes that confession
alone will bring her ultimate peace of
heart and happiness. Her lover hears
in tender silence the tragic story of
her past and at the end takes her
gently in his arms. This brief synopsis
of the plot of the play gives but an
inkling of the remarkable strength
and absorbing interest created by the
author.

Dayton, o., has stood in the shadow
of disaster from flood ever since its
foundation. No less than six times
previous to the present inundation
have the rivers which flow through it
left their accustomed courses and
brought death and destruction of prop
erty upon the town. The first of these
foods occurred in 1906, the very year
that Dayton was incorporated as q

others in the years 1S47, 1868, 1866

Only few appropriation bills have

biggest mass OF undigested legislation
