THE GALVESTON DAILY NEWS, MONDAY, MAECH 23. 189ft
THE TEXAS COLLEGES
SOCIETIES GETTING READY FOR
THE STATE ORATORICAL
CONTEST.
VARIOUS ENTERTAINMENTS.

dents Get Their Gun*—Visitor* to
the Schools—Society Notes.
St. Edward's College.
Austin, Tex., Murch 20.—The -past week of
6t. Edward's has been a rather lively and
pleasant one, the customary study-hall
grind, grind, grind and the customary col-
lege commons being agreeably diversified
by two big holidays and two big dinners,
one on St. Patrick's day, Tuesday, the
17th, the other on St. Joseph's day, Thurs-
day, the 19th.
President Klein prides himself on feeding
his students well, giving them the best that
the farm and the market affords within a
reasonable limit—so he says. He probably
thinks that fat people look well—he himself
tips the scale at 2S5 pounds, beating Clyde
Willcox, the champion fat man of the stu-
dents, by 65 pounds, but Clyde avows thut
there is not another man at the college
with equal chest expansion to himself, and
1 am inclined to believe him. Clyde is solid;
there is nothing tlabby about him; when ho
inhales a long breath his chest expands
like a little balloon, and on the coldest day
he can take an hour's swim In the nata-
torlum without showing any effects of
cold, being as red and rosy as a saluman-
der. Albeit Father Klein is so stout and
fat, he Is a light eater, as fat men usually
are: and I am told that when his confreres
of the faculty chaff him on his abstemious
habits he laughingly answers, as did St.
Thomas Aquinas: "Gentlemen, you may
say what you please, and do as you please,
but I eat for the honor and glory of God,
not for the love of eating." And so it is
with Father Klein, for he evidently doesn't
wish to become stouter than he Is now.
The next in the scale among the students
are, probably, Kopeoky at 210 pounds and
Von Roeder at 180 pounds, but they are
only middle weights in comparison with
the others.
One of the old time fat men of the col-
lege, Gordon Bennett Maguire of '93, paid
us a visit a few days ago, and said that he
would be back next session to complete his
classical course. He said that he had been
trying other colleges for the last three
years, hoping to improve his opportunities;
but he found no other institution that he
had tried equal to St. Edward's, so he had
concluded to come back and take an entire
course here. Most of the boys had changed
since he left, but Maguire found a few of
the old boys, who were glad to see him,
and will be glad to have him back with
them.
Our baseball schedule for this season con-
tains several games with our esteemed
friends of the university, the first of which
was played on the 17th instant on the uni-
versity grounds. From beginning to end
the game was one of continual slugging,
with our boys doing the most of it, which
accounts for the large score. Both teams
were out of practlce'and rusty. In the first
two innings our boys batted for fourteen
runs, enough to win the game, but they
did not cease until they had knocked out
twenty-eight runs. The 'Varsity boys
scored two runs in the first inning, and
during the remaining eight innings they
scored ten runs more, making the score
28 to 12 in our favor. W. J. Way pitched
' for our side, and although a little wild he
struck out sixteen men. Moore and Doug-
las did the box honors for the 'Varsity,
and the way they were batted shows that
they will have to practice to shut out our
men. Lordan for the college and Moore for
the 'Varsity succeeded in carrying off the
field honors. Hickman, Blanchette and
Kirsch for the college and Moore for the
'Varsity were each credited with a homo
run.
On the 19th instant we played a practice
Same with the Austin league team, the
rst in which they had engaged since they
got their men together. Although this was
only a practice game, quite a crowd was
out from the city to witness it, and they
were greatly pleased with the work of the
new league team. Manager Blackburn of
the Austins took advantage of this game to
put each of his three pitchers in the box,
to limber them up, and they did splendid
work. Judging by their swiftness, curves
and command of the ball, there is reason
that these three pitchers will make mon-
keys of some of the best batters of this
year's league. In this practice game Well-
ner, Chard and Wylle pitched for the Aus-
tin team and Way, Hickman and Edmund-
son for the college. Edmundson Is a Gal-
veston boy, a fine fellow as a student and
bajl player, and Hickman and Way are
frotai San Antonio and Austin respectively.
The Austin Daily Statesman, in its account
of the game, says that the Austin team
enjoyed the practice immensely, and we are
free to say the same for our side. The
Austin team had the umpire, and a fairer
mail could not be wished for. As for the
other members of the team, they acted
as gentlemen in every sense of the word.
Our boys got a number of runs—ten or
twelve— probably as much a matter of
courtesy as of credit. We believe they
could have shut us out if they wanted to,
but they didn't. Where all did well, it may
be invidious to specialize, but Kleeman did
some fine running for the Austins and
caught the fans. Manager Blackburn
sawed out the first time at the bat, but
afterward retrieved with two homo runs
and two singles. Nie—"Bill Nye" they call
him—obtained base on balls five times, but
afterward he hit a three-bagger and num-
erous singles. Weikart, Chard and Wiley
did good work, as did also others of the
Austin team. Kirsch, Hickman, Alonzo
and Edmundson did good work for the col-
lege team. The college people are delight-
ed with the Austin nine's deportment, and
say they never met a more gentlemanly
set of fellows. They hope that they will
favor them often with a practice game.
The Austin team are to piay the Chlcagos
some time this month, and we wish Austin
success, although Anson of the Chlcagos
has personal friends at the college who
hope to get him and his team out here
when he visits Austin. Anson is an old
Notre Dame boy. and has friends in the
college faculty who knew him when a stu-
dent.
The Brownson literary society's weekly
meetings are very interesting. At the last
meeting Willcox's criticism was very good
and much enjoyed. Messrs. John Galla-
gher's and Flato's work was excellent,
the latter an essay on "Cuban Independ-
ence," a subject that now seems to absorb
much of the thought of our American jin-
goes and fire-eaters, especially In congress,
and more especially in the United States
senate. Hickman's select reading was
much appreciated. Charley Langhammer
had a very Interesting essay on the work
of the Brownson literary society. But the
essay of the evening was that of the presi-
dent, Von Boeder, on the "Suburbs of
Austin," of which Von Boeder seems to
have made a special study. Von Boeder is
a splendid fellow; he is not only a good
student, but takes also an actve interest
In the athletic sports of the campus. In
the Brownson debate, the subject of which
was announced In last week's News, Mr
Edmundson was first on the affirmative,
and mnde a very strong point for his side.
After him came Chas. Eikel on the nega-
tive, and Derden on the affirmative, fol-
lowed by Henry Crain, who always has
something to say and says It well. Deci-
sion of the judges in favor of the affirma-
tive. The next meeting o£ the Brownsons
has the following programme:
Recitation John A. Gallagher
Essay (own choice) Chas. H. Flato
Reading Joseph R. Hickman
Recitation Joseph C. Gravis
Essay L. von Boeder
Recitation John L. Ward
Description of Louisiana Mosquitos (un-
known in Texas) Louis Dennette
Music...Langhammer, Derden and Willcox
Debate: Resolved, that variety theaters
Should be abolished.
Among the visitors during the past week
were Messrs. Gillie, A. 01 fen butt el of 01-
fenbuttel & Co., Tylar, and Prof. Jacob
Bickler and son, who came out to see the
baseball game between St. Edward's and
the Austin league team. Prof. Bickler Is
the president of Bickler academy at Aus-
tin, a portly and genial gentleman. Rumor
has it that Prof. Bickler and Rev. President
Klein ran a race, witnessed only by a select
few, of which the correspondent of Tho
New was not one, being unfortunately ab-
sent. We should like to have at*en--t Ho-
race between these two portly gentlemen.
Both of the contestants are reticent, so wo
can not say who was the victor; btit this
KUeh wo do know, that Prof. Bickler
says that this was one of the pleasantest
days he spent at the college, and he was
one of the closest friends of our late presl-
dena. Bishop Hurth.
I forgot all about St. Patrick's day. Rev.
Father Ollmert was the orator of the day,
and all say that his panegyric of St. Pat-
rick was a masterpiece of oratory, delight-
ing all who heard it. C.
Yrnulinc Convent.
Galveston. Tex., March 22.—To The News:
Another convent holiday, fraught with the
happiest recollections, has winged its flight
on the swilt pinions of time. I refer to St.
Joseph's feast day. an anniversary to
which St Ursula's pupils always look for-
ward with the most eager anticipations, as
it affords them a coveted opportunity of
presenting with grateful acknowledgments
to a devoted guardian of their happy child
and girlhcod. the present revered superi-
oress of our convent home.
The following complimentary programme
was rendered in honor of the occasion, and
elicited much well merited applause from
our cultured audience, the greater number
of those present being former pupils of St.
Ursula's.

Complimentary address
Miss Gertrude Nass
The vocal and instrumental selections
were rendered in a very creditable man-
ner, as also the allegory, while Misses Til-
lie Anderson and Gertrude Nass, by the
elocutionary powers displayed in their re-
spective numbers, added new laurels to
those hitherto won. But in my opinion the
palm of the evening must be accorded to
little Misses Orra Kelley and Anna Ray
for their exquisite rendition of "The
Drowning Singer," a pathetic but most
beautiful selection. At the conclusion of
the programme our esteemed mother ex-
pressed her appreciation in a few heartfelt
words, which deeply Impressed her youth-
ful audience, while they awoke responsive
echoes in the heart of many a devoted
former pupil.
Pretty little medals of St. Joseph were
then distributed as souvenirs of this happy
festal anniversary, after which refresh-
ments were served.
On Thursdray at 8.30 a. m. solemn high
mass was celebrated, the chapel being most
beautifully decorated for the occasion. Rev.
Father Jouannet, S. J., was celebrant, as-
sist e*l by Rev. Father O'Leary, S. J., as
deacon, and Mr. Moreau, S. J,, as subdea-
con, our esteemed chaplain, Rev. Father
Gore, S. J., being master of ceremonies.
Rev. Father O'Leary delivered an eloquent
panegyric of St. Joseph, dwelling particu-
larly on the practical lessons to be drawn
from the life of this great though hidden
saint. The day was fittingly closed with
solemn benediction of the blessed sacra-
ment.
The statues and pictures, in their purple
draperies remind us that Passion Sunday
has dawned on us, and that but two more
weeks remain before Easter. Hence stren
uous exertions must be put forth if wt
would do credit to ourselves at the com-
ing quarterly examination.
Although great enthusiasm is being mani-
fested in all the departments, it seems to
me that it reaches Its climax in the sten-
ography and typewriting classes, whose
members are certainly distinguishing them-
selves. From present indications I think
it safe to assert that few business colleges
in our state can present more creditable
work than that accomplished by the mem-
bers of Saint Ursula's special course dur-
ing the past scholastic term.
Having accomplished the allotted task in
history, the-time hitherto given to that
fascinating study Is now devoted to lec-
tures on physiology, which prove as in-
teresting as they are instructive, every
pupil being obliged to write a synopsis of
each day's lecture, which is exemplified and
impressed on the mind by pictorial repre-
sentations.
The advanced spring weather has coaxed
forth the leaves of the fig and other trees,
and adorned the garden with countless
iloral beauties. Several of our little com
panions of tho primary department delight
to spend their recreations in culling their
favorite shrines, which they do with ex
qulsite taste.
Since the date of our last letter to The
News we have had the pleasure of adding
to our list of boarders Misses Bessie Dev
lip, Mamie Koch, Alleen Hawkins, Marie
Ayers, and Clemence Labadie, all of this
city, and of welcoming back to our midst
Miss Jessie Birehfield of Alvin, who spent
some weeks at home for the treatment of
her eyes, and the Misses Korff, who were
summoned home in consequence of the ill-
ness of their brother, who, we are glad to
say, has now entirely recovered.
Judging from the monthly records and
the accounts that reach us from time to
time, the pupils of the day school are
vieing with the boarders in deportment,
diligence and punctuality, thus making the
contest for the various competition medals
quite as animated in their department as
in ours. MAR i SERVAT.
Sherman Institute.
Sherman, ,Tex., March 21.—Last Saturday
evening the gymnasium was taxed to its
seating capacity, occasioned by the an-
nouncement of the students' recital. We
all felt that this was the best recital given
by tho pupils ever heard in the gymnasium.
"While each pupil did remarkably well, we
call especial attention to Misses Fulton,
Nail, Etchison and Bowlby, who surprised
us by their marked improvement. Miss
Fulton, who graduates in music this year,
we consider the best girl musician ever
heard in Sherman. Miss Lizzie Nail's
guitar solos always call for loud applause.
Misses Etchison and Bowlby showed at
once that ttu y were tho pupils of Miss
Hendrickson. which speaks well for them.
Following is the programme:

Last Tuesday evening the institute and
the Sherman public were the fortunate
listeners to one of the most charming en-
tertainments in the hands of the king of
humorists. Max O'Rell. He selected for
his subject "Her Royal Highness, Woman."
The Sherman newspapers said that it was
the finest thing ol the kind ever heard'in
Sherman. The American women certainly
received a brilliant eulogy, as seen through
French spectacles. All he asks Is, were he
to be recreated that he would bo born an
American woman. Prof. Nash, with his
usual enterprise, deserves the appreciation
of all for this rare treat, as Max O'Rell
was brought here at the expense of the
school.
Already applications are being received
from all parts asking for catalogues and
for reserved rooms. Mary Nash college
bids fair to lead in popularity.
While improvements are being made, wo
will not make room for more than our lim-
ited number of boarding pupils, which is
100. This year we have had at one time
ninety-seven.
Miss Broadus will give an unusually in-
teresting entertainment on the 27th, assist-
ed by her class In elocution.

birthday. The table was set in a private

girl friends.

gained from these lectures.
Rev. Armstrong, pastor of the First

U. D. WULFJEN.
Trinity University.
Tehuacana, Tex., March 21.—To The
News: The three literary societies have
been very much interested in the prelim-
inary contest for the selection of the rep-
resentative orator of Trinity to appear in
the state oratorical contest to be held at
Austin college, Sherman, next month. On
yesterday the preliminary was held, with
but two contestants, a representative of
the Philosophronian and Thinothean socie-
ties, Ray Wade of the former and W\ B.
Fitzhugh of the latter. Mr. R. H. Long,
tho representative of the Ratio Genie soci-
ety, was unavoidably absent. All regret
ver^ much that the Ratios could not have
a representative on the ground, but the
circumstances at the time were unfore-
seen. The two contestants pulled hard for
first position, and the audience sat in rup-
ture as each presented his excellently
framed composition. The faculty, acting
as judges, had upon its hands a delicate
task to decide which of the two deserved
the honor. But after the orations had been
so splendidly delivered and each member
of the faculty had carefully weighed the
matter fn his mind and tha record counted,
Mr. Ray Wade was found to have beaten
his opponent by only 1, thus heaping upon
him tho heavy task of competing for the
$75 medal offered by the State oratorical
association. After the decision was an-
nounced the chapel rang with shouts for
the honored man.
The school suffered qulto a disappoint-
ment last week In the failure to have de-
livered the second of this year's lectures.
Stanton & Harris should have entertained
us on last Wednesday evening, but from
some fault of theirs we were sadly put out.
We were encouraged und made hopeful
by the announcement that during the first
week In April we would very probably
have with us the celebrated Ellott.
We are looking forward to the meeting of
the three important branches of the Cum-
berland church with us next week, the
Christian Endeavor, Sunday school conven-
tion, and the pastors' institute. This will
bring to us quite a large delegation, and,
too, the real representatives of the church.
Wo welcome all heartily.
The third year class in English, after a
general survey of the elements of litera-
ture which they have just finished, have
decided to spend the rest of the year in the
study of Shakespeare, and are at work this
week trying to get a background for their
study of the great dramatist by the study
of such topics in Elizabethan literature as
society, politics, the reformation, the ren-
aissance, theology, ethics, science, philos-
ophy, poetry and the drama. Having fin-
ished the work, they will study "Hamlet,"
"Much Ado About Nothing," and "Henry
IV," the latter that they may become ac-
quainted with that most humorous of ail
characters, Sir John Falstaff.
We regret to lose Miss Mae Montgomery,
who left last week on account of contin-
ued ill health. X. Y. Z.
University of Texas.
Austin, Tex., March 21.—Next Monday we
enter upon the last term of tho present
session. Examinations have been in prog-
ress all the week and tho students welcome
a return to the regular exercises. With
one or two exceptions the past week has
been very aulet.
Messrs. W. P. Hancock and D. S. Fur-
man were called to their respective homes
early tills week, the former on account of
the serious illness of his father, and the
latter on account of his mother's critical
condition. Mr. Furmaii arrived in Bel ton
just a short while before his mother died,
He has the sympathy of all the students in
the irreparable loss he has sustained
Charles H. Wlngrove of Denison, who
has been seriously ill tho past few days,
Is much better.
Dr. Alexander Macfarlane, formerly pro
fessor of physics at this place, but now
of Lehigh university, has been making
some important researches in his labora-
tory on the Roentgen rays, the results of
which he has recorded in an interesting
paper in the Electrical World of Murch 14.
He photographed nails driven in a block ol
wood, first taking a front and then a side
view.
Prof. Houston has returned from a visit
to tho high schools of the north Texas
towns.
l'rof. Garrison left for Chicago Wednes-
day night, to be absent several weeks do-
ing some special work at the university
there. During his absence Tutor Bugbee
will hold down the chair of history.
Mr. Otto Praeger, editor-in-chief of the
magazine, and one of the best liked stu-
dents in the school, has withdrawn from
the university, much to the regret of his
many friends. Mr. Praeger will resume
his labors as one of the staff of tho San
Antonio Light.
Never before in the history of the uni-
versity were the students so deeply grieved
as they were last Wednesday when the
action of some of the regents in refusing
to re-elect Prof. A. L. McRae of the chair
of physics became known, and this grief is
easily explained when we remember how
Prof. McRae has endeared himself to the
students by the interest he has shown In
them and the readiness with which he has
responded in assisting the students in
their various enterprises. Prof. McRae has
won the favor of the students. Of his
abilities, among whom are included several
teachers, speak in the highest praise. The
news of the dismissal was such a shock
to the students that they lost no time in
calling a mass meeting to take some action
in the matter. At the appointed hour quite
a number of the representative students
assembled on the campus, and after much
discussion adopted suitable resolutions, re-
affirming their confidence in Prof. McRae,
regretting his leaving us and expressing
the belief that the regents had made a
great mistake. These resolutions met with
but little opposition and were adopted by
a large majority. No reason was assigned
for Prof. MeRae's dismissal, nor did the
professor hear of the regents' action until
a few days since. The meeting the other
afternoon was conducted in as quiet and
orderly a manner as possible, and with no
desire"to censure the regents. All Is quiet
at the university now. although there is
some talk of the junior laws holding a
meeting Monday to denounce the action of
the students last Thursday. However, lit-
tle credence is given to this rumor.
The examination in political economy has
been postponed until Monday afternoon.
Tho 'Varsity german club gives another
german to-night at Protection hall to coun-
teract the strain attendant upon the past
week's trials.
(iirayson College.
Whitewright, Tex., March 20.—To The
News: To-day is examination, and it
brings to us the thought that another
month has come and gone. But we rest
assured in the fact that it has not been
lost; on the contrary. It has been one of
the most profitable of the year. Our so-
cieties are doing better work than ever be-
fore.
On last Saturday morning the Rose
Clevelands rendered an excellent, pro-
gramme. consisting of compositions, recita-
tions and essays.
The Henry W. Grady:
ing time discussing the question whether
Gradys had a very exclt-
or not such men as lngersoll should be al-
lowed freedom of speech. Very Interesting
speeches were made on the subject by
Messrs. Shires, Bray, Wilson and Stroup.
On the same morning the Houstons had a
very exciting time debating the pulpit and
bar question. Dave Watson carried every-
thing before him and won for the bar with-
out a dissenting voice from the judges.
Society work, debating especially, has
never before been carried to such a height
as during the present year.
The military boys are putting in good
time drilling. Two excellent gold medals
will be awarded the two best drilled cadets
in the contest which comes off the last of
May.
The Rose Clevelands regret very much
to lose one of their members, Miss Hattie
Thompson, who returned to her home at
ColUnsville this week.
Dr. Straus was a welcome visitor from
Trenton last week.
Many of our students have been on the
sick list the past week, but we rejoice to
see them coming back.
The contestants for oration, essay and
recitation medals are required to hand in
their compositions by April 15. The con-
testants for the medal in oratory are
Messrs. Pender and Willis from the Gradys
and Messrs. Clark and Watson from the
Houstons.
Prof. Parsons from Italy and Prof. West-
brook from Mount Vernon have purchased

Cole's Classical and Military School.
Dallas, Tex., March 21.—To The News:
Within the past few days the younger boys
have received their small cadet rittes, and
now they delight their mothers by show-
ing how expert they are in the manual of
arms. Notwithstanding the rain and mud,
almost every student is at his post daily,
closing up old studies and beginning new
ones. We have so much work to be done—
and it must be done—we can not halt and
wait for dull or lazy students. Our num-
ber is gradually increasing as our ad-
vantages become better known.
Albert Starr of Weatherford is our latest
student to enter. He formerly went to
school in Virginia, but has become con-
vinced that we have as good schools in
Texas as elsewhere.
Our commercial or business department
is receiving special attention now, the pro-
fessor giving more attention than usual to
his bookkeeping students and penmanship.
Among other amusements now indulged
in on the drill grounds is the game of ten-
nis. Every evening after drill the grounds
are laid off, the net extended and the balls
go flying as knocked by the boys, and fre-
quently by the beautiful girls who wander
around about that time. It is a fine game,
healthful and pleasant, and many look on
while others play.
To give a variety to the surroundings
some boys and young ladies dart around
the campus on their bicycles, making beau-
tiful pictures of motion, activity, pleasure
and youth.
Several students visit regularly the Young
Men's Christian association in the city and
greatly enjoy the gymnasium, the baths,
the libraries, the religious exercises and
the social gatherings, with music and elo-
cutionary exercises.
The different church sociables and enter-
tainments lately have given much pleasure
to the students attending them. TITUS.

Italian Society.
There was a lively meeting this afternoon
of the Italian society in their rooms, corner
of Main street and Prairie avenue. The so-
ciety was organized somo time, perhaps a
year, ago to take a hand in the politics of
the day. This afternoon they had a pro-
tracted and stormy session in an earnest
endeavor to harmonize, but the en-
deavor was without satisfactory result, and
after much oratory and wind had been ex-
pended they adjourned. Several of the
leaders were absent from the meeting, and
it is believed by others that differences can
be mended when they ail get together.

Spring
Your blood in Spring is almost certain to
be full of impurities —the accumula-
tion of the winter months. Bad ven*
tilation of sleeping rooms, impure aif
in dwellings, factories and shops, over*
eating, heavy, improper foods, failura
of the kidneys and liver properly to do
extra work thus thrust upon them, are
the prime causes of this condition. It
is of the utmost importance that you
Purify
Your Blood
Now, as when warmer weather comes and
the tonic effect ot cold bracing air ia
gone, your weak, thin, impure blood
will not furnish necessary strength.
That tired feeling, lossof appetite, will
open the way for serious disease, ruined
health, or breaking out of humors and
impurities. To make pure, rich, red
blood Hood's Sarsaparilla stands un-
equalled. Thousands testify to its
merits. Millions take it as their
