'70 tlze .Wien of '97, HEN two friends who have enjoyed each other's companionship for three or four years are sepa- rated by reason ofthe graduation of one, then it is that the one remaining holds doubly dear the other. Now' that the Class of N inety-seven is no longer with us, we know really how strong were the ties of friendship which bound us. Our purpose in dedicating this book to the Class of Ninety-seven is to express our appreciation for the many good turns they have doneifor us 5 indeed, does not one good turn deserve another ? Perhaps it may appear paradoxical that there should exist such a thing as harmony between an upper and a lower class according to the tradition of our own Col- lege, or even the present history of some colleges that are more widely known. Strange as it may appear, it is none the less true. Under the old regime, it was very necessary for an under classman to be careful in the pres- ence of the upper classmen, for did he violate but one jot or one tittle of the unwritten law, there had to be paid a penalty at a date not very far in the future. In our own case, we were scarcely in the collegiate department long enough to be called Freshmen when the members of the Class of Ninety-seven manifested a lively interest in our welfare. Not that kind of interest the results of which are sudden, unannounced, midnight visits, during which lessons in supposed respect are harshly taught, but an interest that won for them our genuine respect ,and admiration. Again, as a result of the abolition of that relic of barbarism, still practised in some of our most famous institutions -hazing--class barriers have been broken down. Ninety-seven not only supported the measure which forbade hazing, but even went a step farther, in which she cleared away the broken down bar- riers by showing herself ready to lend a helping hand, not to our class alone, but to all classes. This act, from the old standpoint, was an act in which class dignity was sacrificed. Though class dignity had been sacrificed, yet the class gained that which far outweighs dignity - the genuine respect and hearty good will of her sister classes. Now another phase of school life : . We have noticed during our short stay here that it rarely happens that two classes exhibit like characteristics. Some classes have gone from Freshman and through Senior without attracting much attention. Of course, we do not mean to say that these classes did not perform their duties, but it seems as if their records are like those of some indi- viduals of lowly station: Other classes have won laurels for themselves in particular branches oi athletics, espe- cially in football and baseball. With regard to the Class of Ninety-seven, we do not know whether or not it just happened to be composed of men who were capable of making records, not in one branch alone, but in all, or that it was the result of the harmonious spirit that from appearances made them as an individual in their under- taking. Be this as it may, we have learned from her example that there must be unity in spirit in any class before it can ever hope to achieve success. Concerning athletics, Ninety-seven's efforts have not been spent vainly in the revival of other branches of ath- letics besides baseball and football. Now that these have been successfully revived, we have every reason to believe that they are permanently established. This class had an unusually large percentage of good all round athletes, if we are permitted to use that phrase to express our idea. To equal the record this class has made is not an impossibility, or an undertaking out of the reach of mortal beings, yet the class that equals the record shall have done well. Perhaps the records printed elsewhere in this book will give a better idea than a written descrip- tion here. One, perhaps, will say that it is not the good fortune of some classes to have some members who can vie in strength and agility with the members of the class that was a 'leader in athletics. This is true, but with regard to class spirit or class unity the class, and any class that adopts the standard set up by N inety-seven, will find that it will have a history to be proud of. In conclusion, what? Let us express it in a few words. A unit in spirit and action, respectful to supe- riors, kindly disposed to inferiors, the Class of Ninety- seven for these reasons will always be fondly remem- bered by the other classes that knew her, and especially by the Class of N inety-nine.

We know now from experience that there are many things easier to do than publishing books. By this we do not mean to say that we regret having.taken this step which has acquainted us with a new field 'of work 5 on the contrary, the work gives us pleasure because it has been the means of binding us closer together as a class, also of producing greater unity and harmony among us. Soon after the first volume of THE RAT-TAT was pub- lished, we came to the conclusion that our class history wouldnot be what we still hope it will be, if there was not at least an attempt made to publish an annual for the year eighteen hundred and ninety-eight. This annual has for its purpose the portraying of our ways of doing and thinking here. So, dear reader, we hope that while you are reading these pages, there will be brought to your mind pleasant reminiscences, if you were once a student of old St. John's 5 and if you were not, again we hope that you will hold our ancient school as high in your esteem and favor as we do. Perhaps one will notice some things that are not entirely original. Respecting these, we shall say that it was our intention at the beginning to be entirely original, but we came to the conclusion later that our work would be wanting in completeness if these things were left out. There are some things here that are like history, in that they do not change g if at all, only very slowly. f Notwithstanding all our care and diligence spent in the compilation of this work, we fear that through our inexperience there may be some parts which will be the objects for criticism by some who are better acquainted with the art of book-making than we are. Of such we ask that the errors be attributed to our inexperience rather than to our lack of interest. With this short introduction, we modestly send our representative to you, desiring that it will so well per- form its mission that our Alma Mater will have reason to be proud of it. Hon. HoN.

JOHN'S COLLEGE, at Annapolis, the Alma Mater of so many of Maryland's most noted and honored sons, is charmingly situated on the banks of the Severn River, a few miles' from the Chesapeake Bay. Nothing in the country surpasses the picturesque beauty of its situation. Facing College Avenue are McDowell Hall, the cen- tral building, with Pinkney Hall, named after William Pinkney, a distinguished alumnus, and the residence of the president and vice-president on the left, and Hum- phreys Hall and two buildings which professors occupy on the right. The campus, which slopes toward the avenue, embraces about twenty acres. The front lawn is shaded by large, handsome maples, lindens, poplars and other trees. Nearly in front of Pinkney Halliis a gigantic poplar tree, fresh-looking and green, with ivy climbing up around its old boughs, which is supposed to be older than even the ancient city of Annapolis. The first treaty with the Indians is said to have been signed under its shade. Nearly every side of Pinkney Hall is covered with ivy, and the same vine is making its way over the other buildings, which gives them a venerable and digni- fied appearance. McDowell Hall, the central building, is four stories high, and in it are recitation rooms and offices. On the first floor is a large graduation hall, with a gallery above, upon which are hung shields with Latin and other inscriptions, giving the names of the members of each graduating class. A curious old belfry sur- mounts the structure, and a common cord, by which the bell is rung, passes through the various floors. Every- thing about the old house carries one back to days long past. Even after this lapse of time can be seen places in the old hall filled in with bricks where the pillars were to be put out and from which porches were to project. On the south side the places left for the pillars were never filled in. Near the eaves are blocks of wood inserted in McDOWELL HALL. the bricks, where cornices were to be placed 3 and in the library is a curious collection of rare old theological books from the old King William's School. Humphreys Hall is used for the accommodation of the younger boys, and Pinkney Hall is occupied by the more mature college students. The view from the halls is attractive. The Severn River is on the left and in the rear of the ground g the Naval Academy further along on the left 5 and the town, with the old State House and Governor's mansion, in front and on the right. Such is St. Iohn's College, whose history forms one of the most interesting chapters in the annals of Maryland. It reaches back in the continuity of its records to the earliest colonial times. The first effort to establish a college in Maryland was made by the General Assembly, convened in the city of St. Mary's in the year 1671. An act was then passed by the Upper House of Assembly for founding and erecting a school or college for the education of youth in learning and virtue. This act was returned by the Lower House with cer- tain amendments providing for the differences in religious views existing at that time among the people, which amendments were not acceptable to the Upper House, and there the bill rested. 1 In 1694, the then Governor, Sir Francis Nicholson, sent a message to the Legislature proposing that a way may be found for the building of a free school for the province, and offering to give money for its mainten- ance. The plan was approved, and the General Assembly offered subscriptions of tobacco. No further action was taken at this time, but in 1696 an act was passed which resulted in the establishment of King William's School. This act recites that the school was established for the propagation of the Gospel and education of youth in good letters and manners. It was addressed to ' His Most Excellent Majesty, etc., ' Dread Sovereign ' Will- iam III. of England. This law further enacted that the Most Reverend Father in God, Thomas, by Divine Providence, Lord Archbishop of Canterbury, Primate and Metropolitan of all England, may -be Chancellor of said school, and that to perpetuate the memory of your Majesty, it may be called King William's School. The Reverend Doctor Bray, who had been appointed Commissary of Maryland by the Bishop of London, and who is said to have been the originator of tl1e Society for the Propagation of the Gospel, was mainly instrumental in obtaining this said act. King William's School was thus established. Gov- ernor Nicholson gave to the school a lot in the town of Annapolis, with the house thereon, and the Legislature appropriated money to it, but the school-house was not finished until 1701. It was of brick, and stood on the south side of the State House. The Bishop of London had sent over the Reverend Andrew Gaddes to take charge of the school, but he, not finding it finished, was sent to All Saints', Calvert County, Maryland. The earliest mention of an ofiiciating master of the school is found in the records of St. Anne's Parish Church. They record, Died, November 9th, 1713, Rev- erend Edward Butler, rector of St. Anne's and master of the free school, Annapolis. Few of the names of the rectors of the school have come down to us, but about 1756, and for nine years after that date, Mr. Isaac Daken is mentioned as master of the school. On the 17th of August, 1784, the Reverend Ralph Higginbotham was appointed master of King William's School, and when at a later date the school became incorporated with the college, we find him occu- pying the position of Professor of Languages in the newly organized institution. This school is noted in the annals of the State as the nursery of some of her greatest men, amongst others the distinguished lawyer and states- man, William Pinkney. Information, however, regarding this seminary is but meager, although the act of 1750 indicates that the school was not without influential friends and supporters. In the meantime, in 1732, as appears by a paper now lying in the executive department at Annapolis, proposals for founding a college at Annapolis were read in the Upper House of Assembly and recommended to the considera- tion of the Lower House, but no legislative effect was given to these proposals. This project was again revived in 1763. A commit- tee of the General Assembly recommended that the house in the city of Annapolis which was intended for the Governor of the province, be completely finished and used for the college proposed to be established, the money for the work to come out of the public treasury. The annual cost of the faculty, consisting of seven mas- ters, with the five servants, was provided for. The meas- ure, however, failed to pass the Upper House. Ten years later the intention of establishing a college in Annapolis was again manifested, as we learn from a letter written October 4th, 1773, by William Eddis, surveyor of cus- toms, at Annapolis, to a friend in England. In this letter he states that the Legislature has determined to found a college for the education of youth in every liberal and useful branch of science, whichgwill preclude the necessity of crossing the Atlantic for the completion of a classical and polite education. A building on the banks of the Severn, originally intended for the Governor's mansion, but described in the letter as a melancholy and mouldering monument, was desig- nated as the proposed collegiate edifice. This building is now McDowell Hall, the central one of five constituting St. John's College. The Revolution interfered with the carrying out of 1 ,,.x, i v -LV ,-f - I II' . .L T12 '1 , v4.WX, Q, PINKNEY HALL the plan, but in I784 the charter of St. Iohn's College was granted, two years after a like charter had been given for the establishment of Washington College at Chestertown, on the Eastern Shore. It was intended by the terms of the charter that the two colleges thus founded should constitute one univer- sity under the name of the University of Maryland. By act, 1785, the property and funds and students of King William's School were conveyed to St. Iohn's College. Among the chattels passed to the college were a num- ber of quaint and curious volumes brought over by the Reverend Doctor Bray from England, and which still remain in the library of St. john's. On November 11, 1789, the college was formally opened, and the dedication was performed with much solemnity, all the public bodies being in attendance, and forming a long procession from the State House to the college hall. 7 'Among the students of that early, period are to be found the names of George Washington Park Custis, a stepgrandson, and .Fairfax and Lawrence Washington, nephews of George Washington g also, of Francis Scott Key, who entered St. john's November 11th, 1789, and graduated in 1706. On Friday morning, March 25th, 1791, President Washington, attended by the Governor of Maryland and Q. a number of citizens, visited St. Iohn's College, and expressed much satisfaction at the appearance of this rising institution. The following letter was written a little later as a proof of his friendly sentiments toward St. john's : ANNAPOLIS, April 7th, 179r. To the Facully of St. folm's C allege : Gentlemen :-The satisfaction which I have derived from my visit to your infant seminary is expressed with real pleasure, and my wishes for its progress to perfection are proffered with sincere regard. The very promising appearance of its infancy must flatter all its friends Cwith whom I entreat you to class mel, with the hope of an early, and at the same time, a mature manhood. You will do justice to the sentiments which your kind regard towards myself inspires, by believing that I reciprocate the good wishes contained in your address, and I sincerely hope the excel- lence of your seminary will be manifested in the morals and science of the youths who are favored with your care. GEORGE WASHINGTON. With the aid of private subscriptions as well as liberal appropriations from the Legislature, the college went forward under Dr. John McDowell, the first president, in its work of educating men, till January, 1806, when the Legislature, by majority of only six, withdrew the annu- ity, and the visitors and governors of the college were compelled to announce that the college must close. Within the brief period of thirteen years, from 1793, when the first class was graduated, until I806, the names 1 rg Mgfc ,W A I '. Q of four Governors of Maryland, six United States Sen- ators, five members of the House of Representatives, four Judges of the Courts, one Attorney-General, one United States District Attorney, one Auditor of the United States Treasury, six State Senators, fifteen members of the House of Delegates, besides foreign consuls, officers of the army and navy, physicians and surgeons, distin- guished lawyers Qincluding one Chancellor of South Car- olinaj, college professors, etc., are to be found among the names in the register of the alumni. In 1807 Rev. Dr. Bethel Judd was chosen principal, and the work, though grieviously hampered by the action of the Legislature, was partially continued, and in January, 1812, S1000 of the annuity was restored. A lottery granted in 1821 added 320,000 to the funds, and enabled the college to extend its work. Reverend Doctor Henry Lyon Davis served as principal from 1820 to 1824, and the Reverend Doctor William Rafferty from 1824 to 1831. In 1831 Reverend Doctor Hector ,Humphreys was appointed principal, and by his persevering efforts and personal influence with the members of the Legislature a sum of S2000 was added to the annuity, provided the Board of Visitors and Governors should agree to accept it in full satisfaction of all legal or equitable claims that they might have or be supposed to have against the State. The Board consented, and the deed of release was exe-5 cuted and entered upon the records of the Court of .i . V Appeals. At the same time the Governor of the State, President of the Senate, Speaker of the House of Dele- gates, and the Judges of the Court of Appeals were made ex-ofiicio members of the Board, indelibly fixing to the college the character of a State institution. In 1833 the principal was authorized by the Visitors and Governors to collect a fund of S30,000. About SII,OOO was raised, and in June, 1835, the cor- ner stone of Humphreys Hall was laid with impressive ceremonies. Chancellor John Johnson, a distinguished alumnus, was the orator. From this time on there are lists of graduates for each year except 1843, 1845, 1848, 1851 and 1854, until 1855, whenlthe college was reorgan- ized, and in the same year Pinkney Hall was built. Two years afterward Doctor Humphreys was succeeded by Reverend Doctor C. K. Nelson. He guided the college successfully till 1861, when the college buildings were utilized as a military hospital by the United States Army until the close of the war. The Board of Visitors in 1859, believing the Act of 1806 a violation of charter rights, and therefore void, brought suit to recover the amount of their claim - over S3fJ0,000, including interest - but the Court held that the Board of Visitors could not avoid the release given in 1833, and the suit went against them. Reverdy Johnson and other eminent lawyers held that under the terms of the charter the Board had gone beyond its powers in 7 viz INTERIOR OF CHAPEL granting the release, and advised that the case be taken to the Supreme 'Court of the United States. In 1866, after the close of the Civil War, and while measures were in progress for obtaining a decree in favor of the college, the Legislature restored the arrearages of the annuity of 33000, suspended from 1861 to 1866, and appropriated an additional sum of 312,000 per annum for five years from the first of 1868. The Board of Visitors, believing that this appropriation would be a permanent one, and that it was given in due recognition of the claims of the college, accepted it in good faith, and relinquished the suit which they had been prepared to make. The college buildings were put in thorough repair, and Doctor Henry Barnard, of Connecticut, late Commis- sioner of Education, was elected principal, and the col- lege was reopened in September, 1866. Cn his resigna- tion the following summer, Doctor james C. Welling, afterwards and now president of Columbian University, Washington, D. C., was chosen principal, and the college opened in the autumn with one hundred and fifteen students. Before the close of the next session the Board of Visitors and Governors, in recognition of the increased annuity, passed an ordinance establishing one hundred and fifty State scholarships, each scholarship entitling the holder to exemption from the payment of room rent and tuition fees in any department of the college, and the number ofstudents in attendance increased to two hundred and twenty-five. Doctor Welling resigned at the close of the session of 1869-70, and Doctor James M. Garnett, now professor at the University of Virginia, was appointed in his stead. Under his administration, in 1871, the first class since 1860 was graduated, and continuously thereafter classes have been duly graduated each year. The General Assembly of 1872 renewed the appropria- tions for six years, and that of 1878 for two years. The Legislature of 1880 having failed to make an appropria- tion, Doctor James M. Garnett, with other members of the faculty, tendered their resignations, which were accepted by the Board of Visitors. Reverend Doctor J. M. Leavitt was invited to under- take the administrative duties of the college, and though, in 1882, the Legislature appropriated S7500 for two years, the number of students in attendance continued steadily to dwindle. The Legislature of 1884 made no appropria- tion, but S4000 was appropriated in 1886, and the interest on the college debt provided for in 1888. In the summer of I884 Doctor Leavitt resigned, and went abroad for his health, and Professor Wililam H. Hopkins, subsequently appointed President of the W0man's College, Baltimore, Maryland, was installed as acting principal. He main- tained control during the sessions of 1884-85 and 1885-86, but in spite of strenuous efforts on his part to ameliorate the condition of things, no appreciable progress was made. Under his direction and personal efforts the detail of an officer from the United States Army, and also of an engineer from the United States Navy, were obtained, in accordance with the provisions of certain Acts of Con- gress, with the conditions of which St. John's was able to comply. He resigned in the summer of 1886 to accept the posi- tion offered to him by the trustees of the Woman's College, Baltimore, Maryland, and Doctor Thomas Fell was called to occupy the presidential chair. At the open- ing of the session, 1886-87, when he entered upon his duties, there were but sixty students in attendance, and the general condition of the grounds and buildings had become greatly deteriorated. He at once set to work to renovate the study rooms and' to promote the comfort of the students during their residence at college. The old wood stoves were removed, and in their place steam-heat-. ing apparatus was introduced. Bath-rooms, with hot and cold water, and other conveniences, were placed in both Humphreys and Pinkney Halls. New life and vigor were also infused into the whole course of instruction, and, as a consequence, the number of students during the next year amounted to one hundred and thirty-eight, or more than double the number in attendance at the time of his appointment. , On the 26th of June, 1889, the college celebrated the IOOlh anniversary of its existence under the title of St. John's College. Many of the old students returned for the occasion, and friends who had not met for years exchanged the heartiest greeting. Owing to the large assemblage of visitors a tent was erected on the campus, in the shade of the famous old poplar tree, where the literary features of the programme were carried out. At IO o'clock, in imitation of the ceremony observed at the founding of the college in 1789, the Board of Visi- tors and Governors, the faculty, headed by Doctor Fell, wearing his academic gown and hood, and alumni, formed in procession at the State House, and, escorted by the battalion of college cadets in uniform, under com- mand of Lieutenant Jamar of the United States Army, marched to the tent on the campus. On 'the platform, erected under the ancient poplar tree, among many others, were seated Governor Jackson, who was ex-ofiicio President of the Board of Visitors, Reverend Doctors C. K. Nelson, john M. Leavitt and William H. Hopkins, former principals of the college, President Fell, Dr. Abram Claude, Major Sprigg Harwood, Captain John Mullan, Messrs.,Frank H. Stockett, Nicholas Brewer, J. Schaaf Stockett, Philemon H. Tuck, John S. Wirt, Doctor T. Barton Brune, and Doctor James D. Iglehart, Reverend Doctor Orlando Hutton, and Philip R. Voor- hees. An historical sketch of the college was read by the latter gentleman, after which followed a centennial ode by Reverend J. M. Leavitt, D. D., and an address by the Reverend Leighton Parks, D. D., of Boston, an alumnus of the college. After the benediction had been pronounced by the Reverend C. K. Nelson, D. D., the commemorative tree was planted on the college campus by Mrs. jackson, wife of Governor jackson. At the close of the ceremony an artillery salute of twelve guns was fired in honor of the event by the college corps. Toward the close of 1891 the Board of Visitors author- ized President Fell to initiate a movement for the forma- tion of an endowment fund. In furtherance of this project an open letter was sent to each alumnus, inviting them to subscribe a sum of SI0,000j which has been responded to by them in a gratifying manner. Contribu- tions have also been received from others interested in the welfare of this venerable institution, so that a fair begin- ning has been made toward placing it upon a sounder financial basis than it has hitherto enjoyed. President Fell, in his last report submitted to the Board of Visitors, says that the number of students on the roll for the present session, 1897-98, amounts to one hundred and twenty-five, and that in all the literary departments of the college able and progressive work is being accom- plished. A more prosperous era appears, therefore, to have dawned upon this the third oldest college of the United States, and that in spite of the numberless vicissitudes which have marked its career it can claim to be ranked among the leading educational institutions of the' land. . fm' . , .wgxf Z it HON. JOHN s. wmr, B. A., M. A. R. JOHN S. WIRT, St. john's leading alumnus in the Maryland Legislature, came from a family of which many generations on both sides have been Cecil county fMarylandJ people. His father, john W. Wirt, was born on Bohemia Manor, not far from Elk- ton, Md., and married Miss Margaret S. Biddle. Mr. Wirt himself was born in Cecil county, November 16th, 1851, and received his preparatory training in the Elkton Academy. He entered St. j'ohn's, at Annapolis, with the class of '72, and on graduation carried off first honors of hisclass with the degree of A. B. After leaving St. John's, he at- tended the Law School of the University of Maryland, where he graduated in 1874, with the degree of B. L. First honor man in his class at St. john's, it was not unnatural that he should graduate second in his class at the University of Maryland. Mr. Wirt received from his Alma Mater in 1880 the de- gree of M. A. Devoting himself to his profession, Mr. Wirt soon ac- quired a lucrative practice, and such standing in his com- munity that in 1889 he was elected to the Maryland State Senate, where he did himself and his country great credit. While always recognized as an active party man, his independence on questions of legislation has brought him many friends, not members of his own party. Whether in office, or out of oflice, his name has always been asso- ciated with the higher element of his party, and with all that would tend towards reforming existing abuses. It 7. was largely due to his efforts that the Australian Ballot Law went into effect in Maryland. I Always a Democrat, he was a member of the Mary- land delegation to the National Democratic Convention, both in 1884 and in 1892, and supported President Cleve- land, for whom he entertained, and still entertains, feel- ings of loyalty and admiration. Mr. Wirt has delivered many addresses of a literary character, among which, perhaps, the best known is an address given before the Alumni of St. John's College, in 1890, on the subject of The Relation of Men of Liberal Education to the Civil Service Reform Movement. This address was largely circulated, both in the daily press and pamphlet form. A review, consisting of ten articles in the Baltimore Sim, of the proceedings of the Maryland Legislature for 1890, has also been much commented upon. L Mr. Wirt was elected to the Maryland General Assem- bly last November, and is at present one of the stars in the House. Mr. Wirt's position in the community is best shown by the fact that he is a trustee of his Alma Mater, St. Iohn's College 3 vice-president of the Civil Service Association of Maryland, and is connected with other organizations of a local character: As a jurist, Mr. Wirt ranks among the foremost in his State, and his opinions are eagerly sought and profoundly respected. HON. JOHN S. WIRT Jizlumni. 'l l l'+'Z ! l HONORABLE JOHN WIRT RANDALL. John WVirt Randall is fifty years of age, and received his education at St. John's College, Burlington College and Yale College. He is a lawyer, and is associated with his brother, Dan.iel R. Randall, in practice at Annapolis. He is also President ofthe Farmers' National Bank of Annapolis, which was chartered as the Farmers' Bank of Maryland in 1805. He is the oldest living son of the late Alexander Ran- dall, of Annapolis, who was Attorney-General of Maryland, Representative in Congress, and a member of the Constitu- tional Convention of 1851. On his mother's side, he is a grandson of William Wirt, Attorney-General of the United States under Presidents Monroe and John Quincy Adams. Mr. Randall is one of the Board of Visitors and Governors of St. John's College, and has been for over twenty years a vestryman and the Treasurer of St. Anne's Protestant Episcopal Church, Annapolis. He has -served in both houses of the General Assembly, and in the sessions of 1888 and 1890, as a member of the Committee on Elections, he was active in trying to perfect the Australian ballot law and other election reforms of those sessions. The journal shows that but for the active support of Judge Edward Stake and himself, the Australian ballot law would have been defeated at a critical point of its passage through that body. In the session of 1884, as a member of the House, Mr. Randall introduced and pushed through the Legislature the joint resolutions which created Arbor Day in Maryland. He was the candidate of the Republican minority for the Speakership at that session. As a member of the Legisla- ture and as Counsellor of the City of Annapolis, Mr. Ran- dall aided in reforming the financial systems of that city and Iii 13 'of Anne Arun-del County, and has been active in legislation to protect the oyster industries of the State. He has been for many years a vice-president of the Civil Service Reform Association of Maryland, and twice introduced in the Leg- islature a bill to bring the State and municipal ofiicers of Maryland under that system. He had charge of the election reform bill in the Senate of 1896, and was a leader of his party in that branch of the General Assembly. In the ses- sion of 1898 he was chosen President of the Senate, which position is second only to the Governor. In the discharge of the duties of his office, Mr. Rand-all has shown himself to be a man of marked executive ability and decision. He is also one of the leading lawyers of Annapolis and is a man of vast energy and great force of character. He is an active Y. M. C. A. man, the Association in Annapolis owing much to his aid and interest. GEORGE H. HARTER, B. A., M. A., PH. D. Dr. Harter was born near Leitersburg, Washington County, Md. He received his early education in the public schools of Washington County, and afterwards at Lebanon, Ohio. In the fall of 1874 he entered the Freshman class at St. John's College and graduated therefrom in July of 1878, receiving the degree of B. A. Dr. Harter showed remarkable qualities while a student at college, and upon his gra'duation was elected tutor of mathematics and Latin in the College. While tutor at college he pursued a graduate course in early English, Anglo-Saxon, etc., with Dr. Garrett and Dr. Hopkins, and mathematics with Professor Johnson, wr W4 '+if',.'1 - V T-. Q ,,mvgg-fvwvw .sp i 11 I-'11 'talnififivia-A who is at present an instructor in mathematics at the United States Naval Academy, Annapolis. In 1880 Dr. Harter left St. John's to assume the duties of principal of the Academy at Hagerstown, Md., where he labored successfully for five years. After leaving the Academy, he was elected to the chairs of mathematics and physics in Delaware College, which place he still holds. Since Dr. Harter has been identified with this institution he has taken great interest in its welfare, and perhaps the appreciation of this is no better demonstrated than by the fact that in 1896 he, at the resignation of Dr. Raub, was elected President of the College. Since he has assumed this latter office, he has shown himself well worthy of the high trust placed in him. St. John's well appreciates his ability as a college professor and president. A HONORABLE BRUNER R. ANDERSON, B. A., LL. B. Mr. Anderson was born in February, 1864, and was reared on a farm at Patuxent, in Anne Arundel County. He was educated at St. Iohn's College, Annapolis, where he grad- uated in 1884, with the degree of A. B. After graduating, he taught school near Odenton for two years. He then attended the Maryland University Law School in Baltimore City, where, in 1888, he received the degree Of LL. B. Dur- ing the same year he was admitted to the bar, and has since been engaged in the practice of his profession in'Baltimore City and Anne Arundel County. Mr. An-derson was elected a member of the General Assembly of Maryland in the fall of 1897, and made for himself a brilliant record du-ring the 'session which has just closed. He is descended from a Scotch family of Andersons, who settled in Anne Arundel in 1680. GORDON TULL, B. A. Gordon Tull, a rising member of the bar of Princess Anne, Somerset County, was elected State's Attorney there in November. 1895, being the only candidate elected on the Democratic ticket. Though he is quite a young man, he possesses recognized talent in his favorite profession, and enjoys a large and constantly growing practice. Judging by what he has accomplished in the past few years, it is safe to predict for him a brilliant future. Born January 4, 1870, Gordon Tull is a son of Samuel L. Tull, a native of Tull's Corner, Somerset County. The latter, now about seventy-four years of age, has been very successful in life, and has resided for many years at Tull's Corner, where he has conducted a mercantile establishment and owns a good farm in the vicinity. 'He is a Democrat and has been a justice of the peace for a great many years. His father, Samuel, Sr., was'a native of the same locality and came from a good old family on the Eastern Shore. The mother of Mrs. Tull was Miss Catherine Gunby in her girlllood, and is a sister of Dr. Hiram H. Gunby of Tull's Corner. b Gordon Tull remained at home with his parents at his birth-place at Tull's Corner, where he received a good gen- eral education, and after leaving the public schools entered St. John's College at Annapolis, Md. There he graduated with honors in June, 1892, and in September of the same year he was offered a position as first assistant of Princess' Anne High School. He was very diligent during this period, as he not only -discharged all of his duties as a teacher to the full satisfaction of all concerned, but was so industrious as a student himself that he had mastered the rudiments, of the law at theeend of the year. He had received wise supervision in his studies at the hands of Robert F. Brattan, and when he presented himself for examination, he was at once admitted to the bar. He opened an oiiice here in the spring of 1894, and has built up a good reputation as a general practitioner. He is a mem- ber of the Junior Order of American Mechanics and of the Knights of Pythias lodges, both of this place. Personally, he is very popular and is a great favorite in local society. He is a young man of fine principle, and a member of the Protestant Episcopal Church. HONORABLE, WALTER WILLS PRESTON, B. A., M. A., LL. B.

Mr. Preston received from the Law Department of the University of Maryland in 1883 the degree of LL. B., and in the following year the degree of A. M. from Princeton. In 1883 Mr. Preston began to prac- tice law in Bel Air, and by diligent application to his busi- ness soon acquired an extensive and lucrative practice, and such popularity in his community that in the fall of 1887 he was elected a member of the Maryland General Assembly, and was re-elected in 1889. Mr. Preston was a very active and energetic man in the House and gained for himself many friends. In 1891 Mr. Preston was elected State's Attorney for Harford County, and performed the duties of his office so well that in 1895 he was again called to the same position, which he continues to hold. In 1893 Mr. Preston was hap- pily married to MisswM. Elizabeth Hall. At present Mr. Preston is past master of Mt. Ararat Lodge, Masons, at Bel Air, and one of the most prominent members of the Harford County bar. CHARLES E. DRYDEN, B. A., B. S. Charles Early Dryden was born of English parentage near Snow Hill, Worcester County, Md: He was educated in the public schools and later in the Snow Hill High School, taking, in 1889, the honor of salutatorian from that institution, in a class whose valedictorian was E. K. Wilson, Jr., the son of the late United States Senator, E. K. Wilson. In the fall of 1889 he entered St. John's College and started out with the Freshman Class. He graduated from St. Jolm's in 1893, with the degrees of both B. A. and B. S., a feat which is accomplished only by great intelligence and close application to studies. He was also valedictorian of his class, and his valetclictory address was one of the best ever delivered at St. John's. After graduation, Mr. Dryden taught from September to December in a military school in Illinois, resigning that position to accept the principal- ship of the Middletown High School in Middletown, Md. This school he taught until the fall of 1895, when he re- signed in favor of his classmate, S. M.

A, Lincoln Dryden was born at Fairmount, Maryland, February 18, 1865, on his grandfather's farm, where he re- mained until eight years of age. In 1873 he removed with his father to Crisfield, where he attended the public schools, and at the same time was manager of his father's oyster- packing house in that town, which gave employment to one hundred men. Having always cherished a desire for a col- lege education, young Dryden had been accordingly eco- nomical, as well as industrious in business, and in the fall of 1884 was successful in a competitive examination for a scholarship from Somerset County to St. John's College at Annapolis. Here he remained for two years, and at the expiration of that time he entered Dickinson College, at Carlisle, Pennsylvania, where he graduated on the honor list in 1888. Mr. Dryden's last year at college was an eventful one. His funds were insuiiicient to defray his college expenses and to complete the course, and to reach the goal toward which his youthful ambition had ever been directed, he was compelled to tutor under-classmen, teach afternoons in the preparatory school and solicit rates for oysters in the near-by Pennsylvania towns. After graduating Mr. Dryden returned to Crisfield, and in 1889 was nominated by the Republicans for the House of Delegates, to which he was elected, with the entire Repub- lican county ticket.

Mudd, a prosperous farmer of Charles County, was born on his father's farm, near Bryantown, February 12, 1858. He was educate-d at Greenwood University and St. John's College, Annapolis, and graduated from the latter institution in 1878, receiving the degree of B. A. Mr. Mudd then took a special law course at the Univer- sity of Virginia, and was admitted to the bar in 1880. He was scarcely of age when he began to take a prominent part in the local Republican politics of Charles County, and was elected on the Republican ticket to the House of Dele- gates in 1879, when only twenty-one years of age. He was o gf. 'ill'-f 11 1 i :.. re-elected to the same office two years later. He was also one of the Garfield Electors in 1880. From 1882 to 1888 he was engaged in the practice of law and was active as a polit- ical worker. Mr. Mudd was nominated on the Republican ticket as Representative from the Fifth Maryland District in Congress in 1888, running against Barnes Compton, the Democratic candidate. The election was very close, and, although on the face of the returns Mr. Compton was elected by a few votes, Mr. Mudd instituted a contest for the seat before the Fifty-first Congress and was seated. Mr. Mudd was the nominee of his party for re-election to the House of Representatives in the compaign of 1890, and Mr. Compton was again the nominee of the Democrats. This was the year of the great Democratic tidal wave, and Mr. Compton was elected by a large vote. i In 1893 Mr. Mudd was the Republican nominee for State Senator from Charles County, and prosecuted a vigorous canvass. At the local elections in Charles County that year there was much disaffection in both parties, growing out of the county-seat agitation, and nothing like a party vote was cast. Dr. L. C. Carrico, the Democratic candidate, was elected by eleven votes. In the compaign of 1895 Mr. Mudd succeeded in bringing order and harmony to his party, that had been so badly shattered by the county-seat fight, and with a united front, it gave the Democrats a bad defeat at the polls. Mr. Mudd was at the head of the ticket for the House of Delegates, and received the largest vote of any of the can- didates. He is chairman of the Republican County Com- mittee. Mr. Mudd was married to Miss Ida Grifiin, of Prince George's County, in 1882, and has four children. He resides in Bryantown. He was selected at the first ballot in the Republican caucus for Speaker of the House in 1896, and was elected the following day. Mr. Mudd made a prompt and impartial presiding officer, and this, together with his jovial manner, made him a favorite in the House and won for him a host of friends. CHARLES H. GRACE, B. A. Charles H. Grace was born February 13, 1869, on a farm in Talbot County, Maryland. At the age of twelve he entered St. Michael's High School, from which he grad- uated four years later. After spending a year on the farm, he entered the Sophomore Class at St. J'ohn's Col- lege in September, 1886. So well did he apply himself to his studies that he graduated in 1889 with first honors. Few men have left the old institution whose departure has been more regretted than his. His splendid' record and his high moral character left their impression upon all with whom he associated. Although an assiduous student, he took a prominent part in athletics, playing half-back on the famous football team of 1889. The following year after his gradu- ation he was appointed principal of a public school in Car- oline County, Maryland. From this place, in the summer of 1890, he was called to McDonough Institute to teach English, book-keeping and surveying, which position he still holds. His mental ability and keen insight into the characters of others, together with his high moral courage, make him a valuable acquisition to the ranks of those en- gaged in training the minds of the young. Mr. Grace was married September 20, 1894, to Miss Rowena Dodson, an accomplished young lady of St. Michae1's, Maryland. EDWARD MoR'r1M1zR HARDCASTLE, B. A., M. D.'

Entering the Freshman Class, he completed the four years' classical course, and grad- uated as valedictorian in June, 1886. In the following autumn he accepted a position in the Easton High School as assistant teacher, where he remained one year.

During this year of Government service he was matriculated by the football committee of George- town College, as a student of their University. He was undecided what course to pursue. His room-mate being then a student of the Medical School, he was easily pler- suaded to enter the same. So, in the fall of 1891, he began his medical studies. His football duties taking up most of his time after office hours, he was able to give but little of his time to his medical studies.

HERBERT NOBLE, B. A., LL. B. Herbert Noble was born in Federalsburg, Dorchester County, Maryland, March 7, 1867. He attended private schools in that town and later the public schools. He entered St. J'ohn's College in 1885 and graduated with the class of 1889, received the degree of Bachelor of Arts. He then was appointed one of the instructors in the McDonough Institute, Baltimore County, Maryland. In the fall of 1890, Mr. Noble removed to New York, and entered Columbia Law School with a class of 350 men, and was elected president of the class upon its organization. In the summer of 1891 he took the summer course in law at the University of Virginia. Returning that fall to Co- lumbia, he graduated in 1893, receiving the degree of LL. B. He received from Columbia the degree of Master of Arts for having pursued a course in law with distinc- tion, and for having also pursued a course in the School of Political Science of Columbia University, upon The Liability of Governments to Answer for Damages Caused by Mobs to the Property of Foreigners. Upon graduating from Columbia, Mr. Noble began the practice of law in New York, being first associated with the Honorable DeLancy Nicoll, then District Attorney. On the first of January, 1895, he became a junior partner in the firm of Warner 81 Noble. At the end of the year 1895 he left that firm, and practiced alone until the first of January, 1896, when he became the senior member of the firm of Noble Sz Villard, as a member of which firm he is now engaged in practicing law. In the fall of 1895 he was appointed a lecturer in the Law School of Colum- bia University, New York, upon the subjects : Surety- ship, Pleading and Practice Under the Code of Civil Proceedings, and Equity Pleadingf' He was promoted by the University from time to time, and he is now teaching the Law of Domestic Relations and Persons, the Law of Bailments and Carriers, and the Law of Insurance. In June, 1897, his Alma Mater conferred upon him the degree of A. M. 6 Mr. Noble was married on December 5, 1895, to Miss Elsie Randolph Patteson, whose family came from Rich- mond, Virginia, but have lived in New York for many years. Since the death of Mr. Philip R. Vorhees, he has been President of the New York Society of the Alumni of St. John's College, which is a vigorous organization. Mr. Noble is a member of the Association of the Bar of the City of New York, the Southern Society, the Lawyers' Club and of the Church Club. Mr. Noble is a gentleman of culture and highstanding, and this, together with his fine personal appearance, has made him a favorite with all who have had any relations with him either socially or in a business manner. He is also one of the most active and 'interested members of the Alumni Association of St. Iohn's College, and has done as much, perhaps, for the advancement of St. John's Col- lege as any other member of the Association. JAY D. WILLIABIS, B. A. Mr. Jay'D. Williams was born June 28, 1859, on a farm about three miles west of Salisbury, in Somerset County, now a part of Wicomico County. He was the youngest son of Luther M. and Eleanor W. Williams, who moved from Delaware into Maryland in December of 1855. Mr. Williams received his early education in the county schools, and at the age of fourteen was, up-on examination, admitted to the High School in Salisbury, where he grad- uated in the summer of 1876. In September of the same year Mr. Williams entered the Freshman Class at St. John's, where he graduated in 1880, with the degree of A. B. In the fall of 1880 Mr. Williams entered the Wes- leyan University at Middletown, Connecticut, and was classified as a member of the Senior Class, taking a few post-graduate studies. At the University Mr. Williams was a candidate for the degree of B. A., to be followed by M. A., but did not finish his course there on account of a lingering illness. After Mr. NVilliams fully recovered, he began the study of law with the Honorable -Thomas Humphreys, who was at that time a member of the Senate of Maryland and a prominent member of the county bar. After studying law three years with Mr. Humphreys, dur- ing which time Mr. Williams- taught school in the county and for one year was principal of the graded school at Port Deposit, Maryland, he was, upon examination, admitted to the Wicomico County bar and began his practice in Salisbury. Mr. Williams has, since his admittance to the bar, prac- ticed in Salisbury and by close application to his business has acquired an extensive and lucrative practice. ' Mr. Williams has a very extensive general practice and is also at present counsel for the Salisbury National Bank and Attorney for the Wicomico Building and Loan Asso- ciation. Believing that politics and business were not con- genial friends, Mr. Williams has always made it a point from the beginning of his business to have nothing to do with politics other th-an to know how to vote intelligently. He has, therefore, never taken any active part in politics on either side because he believed his business, if prop- erly attended to, required his whole time and individual attention. Mr. Williams is a man of unquestionable ability, and in his community comm-ands the utmost respect. C ICINLOCK NELSON, B. A., D. D. The Right Reverend C. K. Nelson, D. D., present Bishop of Georgia, was born near Cobham Station, Albe- marle County, Virginia, about twelve miles southeast of the University of Virginia, on Sunday, May 23, 1852.

Mr. Willey is a man of great talent and ability, and to these qualities, together with the great diligence with which he enters upon any duty, he has to perform, may be ascribed his great success in life. TAMES A. FECHTIG, B.A. James A. Fechtig, Jr., was born in Cumberland, Mary- land, in 1874. He received his early education in private schools. Later he attended the public schools of Baltimore, graduating from them in 1891. In the fall of 1891 he D 48 entered St. John's College, and graduated in 1895, with the degree of A. B.

The occasion was one of great ' enthusiasm for St. Iohn's, and a surprising number of St. John's men were there. When one realizes that of the Alumni of the College in New York, to the number of about twenty-six, seventeen are on hand at a banquet, and the rest send regrets, one feels what a true note in the heart of each alumnus the name of St. john's strikes. Immediately preceding the banquet, the annual elec- tion of officers was held, with the following results : President, ........ MR. HERBERT NOBLE, '89, Treasurer, . . . DR. CHARLES BREWER, '85, Secretary, ........ MR. W. T. KEMP, '97. These officers are also ex officio members of the Executive Committee.

He pointed out the influence of the College in the early days of the State, referring to many of the dis- tinguished men who were graduates of the College. He then went on to say that the influence of the College had not ceased with the production of these great men, but that everywhere in the State, wherever St. Iohn's men lived, they were found among the best men in the com- munity, and he referred to the very significant fact that among the present leaders of the best political thought in the two National parties in Maryland were two St. John's men-Honorable John S. Wirt, of Cecil, and General L. A. Wilmer, of Charles. The President of the College responded to the toast. He gave a brief statement of the various efforts that were now being made to secure money for the endowment of the College and for new buildings, outlining the policy of the College in that respect in a way that brought hope to all present g that the day was not far distant when private donations would begin to come to the College. He laid great emphasis upon the fact that, as soon as a start could be made there would be very little trouble there- after in securing private donations. A number of those present signified their desire to assist the President in every respect possible, and some liberal sums were prom- ised by the Alumni as soon as the President had matured his plans. When the President referred to the athletics of the College, and the success of the baseball and the football teams, the College yell was given with great vigor and enthusiasm. . In concluding, Doctor Fell, in a few, well-chosen words, proposed the toast of Maryland and Maryland- ers in New York, which was responded to by Mr. James T. Woodward, President of the Hanover National Bank, a native of Anne Arundel County, and whose father was an alumnus of St. John's College. Toasts were also responded to by Elon S. Hobbs, Esq., of the Class of Eighty-two-g Dr. Charles Brewer of the Class of Eighty-five 5 Mr. L. C. Boehm, of the Class of Ninety-seven. The last toast proposed was, The Lit- erary Men of St. Iohn's, which was responded to by Mr. Albert Hopkins C'39D, 8 Son of a distinguished alumnus of St. John's, Doctor W. H. Hopkins. His remarks were full of loyalty and fidelity to the College, and he provoked great amusement by a witty paraphrase upon the old saw, I do not like thee, Doctor F ell, etc., mak- ing it voice the sentiments of those present by showing that they did like Doctor Fell immensely. The meeting wound up with college songs and general talk. Among those present at the banquet were : PRESIDENT FELL. MR. JAMES T. WOODXVARD. President of the Hanover National Bank of New York.

VERYBODY knows the Class of Ninety-eight, and it seems useless to write our history on paper, so deeply is it carved on all and everything around us. When great deeds or daring schemes of the past four and degenerate age, the very walls seem to echo Ninety- years are talked about by students of the present puny eight in answer to the whispered queries as to who they were - those men who dared to brave the ruling powers and undaunted, to rise and act regardless of the direful threats of certain fledgelings of the awful Board. Those days, alas l are gone 5 now the bending knee and favor-courting phrase are oftener seen or heard than the bold, defiant looks and scornful taunts to measure strength and let the victor rule. In justice, however, to ourselves, and in the hope that in some future day another class of men shall find the story of our coming and going one worthy of emulation, rather than with a view to vaunt about themselves, I shall endeavor to tell of our deeds while at St. J'ohn's, although I feel myself incompetent to find a language suited to my subject. We came here first as others do--that is to say, we entered the Freshman class. We did so because it was in accordance with the rules, and at that time we did not know ourselves, or that in the future we should live and act by self-made laws. Up to the date of our advent it had been the custom-and a good one, too, in most 'X- cases -to make the youngest class bow down to those above' them 5 in our case, the fallacy of the underlying principle of the time-honored rule was made most apparent 5 or, in other words, our betters ceased to be. Nothing of moment, beyond the occasional vindication of our rights, occurred during the first year of our sojourn here. We had to feel our strength 3 but when the name of Sophomore succeeded to that of Freshman our real character became apparent, and our spirit, until then dormant as a smoldering flame, burst forth into a blaze, unquenchable and all-consuming. Our first act of a remarkable character was one which won for us the glory and renown which has ever since hung around our name. There was a creature belonging to no particular race mentioned in natural histories - in fact, his nature has ever been disputed by scientists of every branch of science - who was a black spot on our fair horizon. I might say here that, after a careful study of his habits most of us came to the conclusion that he belonged, in part at least, to the feathered tribe, mingled with a simian strain 3 but whether bird or beast it mat- ters not, his very being was a continual source of annoy- ance to us. We decided that he would have to go 5 so one dark night when all the world was clothed in sleepy quiet we succeeded in capturing this monster and in binding him neck and wing. Then in gay procession we marched forth and hung him to a tree, and later burned his carcass until nothing remained but ashes. Thus was our first victim ushered into lands unknown. Many have since followed him, but of them another time. By the time we were Juniors we had, indeed, become remarkable. Aside from numerous victories which we won over the other classes, and like insignificant hap- penings, we had achieved the enviable reputation of being the finest body of students which had ever graced the College buildings. A few of our men -- who, if any- thing, showed more application than the rest of -us, although one may well inquire how such a thing were possible-actually achieved such honors, and by the power of their massive brains so completely eclipsed any marks made hitherto that the Faculty tex ofiicio since our arrivalj found it necessary to entirely revolutionize the system of grading and adopt a new and more exacting one, better suited to our abilities. Not content with these innovations, although they were, I have to admit, discouraging to the so-called students of the three quasi classes which with ourselves composed the student body, we decided that the curriculum offered us was not calcu- lated to assuage our thirst for knowledge, and, ever true to our motto, Nunquafm Retror.s'um, we issued our orders that the standard of the whole course of work should be raised, and it was owing to our efforts that the College reached its present degree . of excellence, although, as in everything proposed which required extra labor for its completion, we were bitterly opposed by those around us, who have ever shown themselves averse to improvements of any kind whatsoever, prefer- ring, as they do, to plod along in the muddy ruts of sloth to traveling securely on the highway of good work. Thus, with ever-increasing strides, we continued through our college life, but we were destined to disap- pointments and sorrows. It is with a class as with an individual 5 the life of the one is a multiplied life of the other, and no one can expect to go through the world always' successful and always happy. It was so with us g we had so far led a pleasant, smooth existence, as free from cares as might have been expected 3 but in the last month of our junior year we suffered a loss, lamented as it was great, which cast a deep shadow of sorrow over the rest of our college life. Death took from our midst one of our number - one who was dear to all, and whose loss we shall never cease to regret. It was the first blow we had receivedg and we shall always remember the season of its happening as one of the saddest periods in our lives. In the Fall of 1897 we came together for the last year of our college life. We were Seniors, and each one of us fully realized the dignified position he held, and we all, by our fine bearing and deportment, won the esteem of those with whom we came in contact. Our Senior year was uneventful 5 we had done our work, and felt that we justly deserved the recompense of enjoying for one year at least the fruits of our labor. We had ever striven for the right and best, and one great satisfaction had ever buoyed us up in moments of trial-we knew that we had planned, labored and 'accomplished wholly and 60 .

And now that the time has come when we must say the parting word, and go forth into the world each alone and without the ever-ready help of the other, it is as if a mighty wall of darkness and uncertainty were looming up before us. The past, the many happy hours of mutual hopes and fears, seems like the memory of a pleasant dream, fading ever faster from our view, while the future, unknown and formidable, hastens with rapid strides to x gather us into its envious folds and whirl us onward into the respective currents of our coming life. In years to come, when tired of battling with the hardships with which we shall have to contend, the memory of our com- panionship will ever be a soothing source of comfort, and will spur us on to greater efforts, until, as I hope and believe, we shall reach positions in the world worthy to be held by men of Ninety-eight, and when old age has dimmed our eyes and bent our frames with years, may we look back with pleasure upon the four years spent together and feel that we left our Ahwa M ater each better for the others' company.

HE writer of this class history, ever mindful that its victories and defeats, its joys and sorrows, have so perfectly corresponded with the rise and fall of those hopes which have filled his heart through- out those years when he enjoyed a membership in the class, finds it impossible to be moderate in his praises. Oh ! pleasant is his task, and happy are his memories when he recalls the past of the Class of Ninety-nine of St. Iohn's College! And its past is itself, the essence of its soul and the foundation of its reputation. There- fore it calls its own the achievements and the victories of all whose names have appeared on the class roll since the birth of the nucleus of the class of that memor- able September day, whether in thevclass-room or in the auditorium, in the ball-room or in the dormitory, on the parade ground or on the amateur stage, on the race track or on the athletic field, with the pigskin or with the shot- gun, on the baseball diamond or on the tennis court. Those who have left the class have bequeathed to its credit and reputation the memory of their triumphs. From the thirty-eight names enrolled in the RAT-TAT of 1897, only thirteen survive--a number considered by Ninety-nine as peculiarly lucky, in spite of all super- stition. It is not difficult to account for those missing. Some have considered themselves saturated with knowl- edge, others have become the lights of other colleges 5 same have found the double time of the parade ground too fast for their natures, and straggled so far behind that it became impossible to find their way back through the maze of demerits 3 others found that the banquets spread by the lords of the feasts of the semi-annual pass- overs too hard to digest unless they used a sauce com- posed principally of Midnight Oil, and refusing to use this sauce they resolved to feast no more. But these are sorrows which befall all classes. Heaven has been merciful and has summoned none to cross the Abyss of Mystery. As the historian's acquaintance with the class begins with the Sophomore year, he must rely upon tradition for the class' history during its Freshman year g so in all probability the class was composed of the rawest of raw material, but as is the case always, the rawer the material the greater the freedom of the polisher, the greater the chances of the discovery of genius. Yes, let us suppose that the material was every bit as raw as that which has been picked up from along the canal and from the back- woods, and has been converted into a product best fitted of all others to fill the Presidential chair. The tastes of the members of this class and the differ- ent kinds of genius which they represent are wonderful for their variety. This condition of affairs greatly adds to the interesting features of the class. Like everything else, a class containing too much of a sameness naturally makes one weary. To the Class of Ninety-nine belongs a fine lot of ath- letes. In its Sophomore year, three of its men battled for gore and glory on the College football team, and four were members of the College baseball nine. On the famous track team the third man and the first substitute were Ninety-nine men. In the Junior year five of the College eleven had Ninety-nine stamped on their hearts under the muddy football jacket. Members of the class whose history is recorded here have always found great favor in the eyes of the fair. The under classes have won- dered greatly at this. For their benefit the historian betrays the countersign - N inety-nine! During the Sophomore year, some of the members of this class, taking their cue from Bret Harte, established next door to the famous Buzzard's Roost, with its cele- brated line of proprietors, that joint known as Poker Flat. Poker Flat soon became an object of awe and ter- ror to the innocent Freshman. But as this is running into the irregularities of some of the members of the class, the historian will pass on. As a rule, the canny men of Ninety-nine have gotten along famously well with the honored Faculty g at least such has been the case since the historian became a member of the class 3 perhaps there is a reason, for this was just after the passing away of that member of the Faculty much spoken of in the traditions of the last five years. To his successor the fellows have also given wings, but they are the magical pinions of a gentle, kindly spirit, an Ariel who has often summoned from obscurity the beautiful, the rare, creations of the imag- ination which live in the world of literature, making the class-room of Ninety-nine like the enchanted isle Q and the class, like Prospero's company, ever loth to lose the bright visions of ideality. The following account of an incident of the class' his- tory, which took place on the famous annual May Night Festivities, 6 la toilette de nuit, the Mardi Gras of St. Iohn's College, is furnished by the president of the class, who presided and participated : About 10.30 P. M. of that memorable day, the Sophomores, pesky wretches that they were, challenged N inety-nine for a fight and a cane rush. The members of Ninety-nine, not being of a timid nature, gladly accept- ed the challenge, much to the vexation of the Ninety- eight men. Our best men chosen and the time-keepers selected, the word Go I was given. Both Ninety-eight and Ninety-nine had some of the best football players of the season, and these went in, determined to either do or die, and as none of Ninety-nine were quite prepared to meet St. Peter at the gate, they redoubled their energies and showed the Wise Fools that they were not as green as they were green looking. Now, Ninety-eight says that it had not her best men present, which is, I think, to any reasonable man, sufficient proof that all the brains of the College are not in Ninety-nine UD because by keeping their men away and not exposing them to Ninety-nine, who would have knocked the stuffings out of all of them, Ninety-eight showed great tact. D Lack of space necessitates a conclusion to the chron- icles of the Class of Ninety-nine, and the author, con- scious of the shortcomings of this article, amends it by inviting the reader to a further study of the merits of the class in this, its annual, the second annual ever published at St. John's, which is an offering of the class, and its first monument to its Alma Mater, glorious, majestic St. John's College. , HISTORIAN. ,,,, if .- dl 73 Nick name .

N a beautiful September day in the year eighteen hundred and ninety-six, a band of gallant and noble-looking GQ youths of all nationalities was ushered into existence at St. john's College, who organ- ized themselves into a class, which was to prove itself a source of great advantage to its Alma Mater. It would require too much space to relate the various opinions formed about it by the other classes. The usual compli- ments, which Freshmen always receive, were paid. We early discovered that.our class possessed many distinguished characters. Mr. Peter Belches, of Vir- ginia, rose into great prominence on account of the extraordinary size of his head, which was as large as the gilded acorn on the dome of the State Capitol. Peter always took delight in discussing the beauty of the fair sex, but whenever the honorable youth met a fair maiden he was sure to make his escape. Peter was aptly called the genius of our class. But let us notice our genial friend, Irish, just over from the sunny shores of old Ire- land. He brought over with him a full stock of wit and humor, which he was exceedingly fond of displaying. His favorite necktie was green, in honor of his native land. His main topic of conversation was girls 3 but just the opposite from his colleague, Peter, he always put himself in the way of the fair sex. But let us divert our attention to the Bird of Baltimore. He may not have been a brilliant student, but he certainly could play football in such a style that he was the recipient of many compliments. Student Oscar K. Tolley now attracts our attention. judging from his initials, O. K., he must be all right. Oscar, after taking the degree of B. A. in Harford County, comes to college and joins our class, in which he hopes to earn a B. S. None of our class claim that they have spent part of their life in digging up old Latin records out of some tunnel, with the exception of Yallah Anderson, a resident of the Ancient City. He devotes the greater part of his time to the study of Latin, his well-known phrase being When are you going to get that Latin out ? Our class is certainly widely represented, for besides the above-namedfheroes we have many more, whose dar- ing deeds are so numerous that they will fill many pages of the world's history. At the expiration of a few weeks, a class meeting was held to organize and elect officers. Men were elected who seemed capable of serving the class to the best advantage, but, contrary to the custom of the other classes in College, were elected for only one year. Our class was very large, the roll numbering thirty-three men. Not a small number of our fellows trained hard for football, in which was developed some excellent material, which showed itself in the game with the Class of Ninety- Efmifu .'.La- Q eight, who succeeded in defeating us only after a lively struggle. We were a very well-behaved class, consequently we did not receive rough treatment at the hands of the Sophomores. However, we were never free from their many tricks and pranks. Their favorite pastime was to put our rooms into a disorderly condition. At the approach of the February examinations, we began to feel a dread as to what would be the result with us. However, we plucked up courage, and a large ma- jority of us had the good fortune to pass them. When the baseball season opened, not a few of us entered into the sport. Liz Mackall succeeded in making the team, and O. K. Tolley was used as a substi- tute. As there were no class games that season, our team did not have the opportunity to show whether it could be a winning one or not. As the day for field sports approached, we began to discuss the merits of each man, to find out for what branch of sport he-was the best adapted. Of course, we did not entertain the least hope of coming out win- ners in the events, but we determined to go in and do what we could. Our President, C. C. Herman, suc- ceeded in organizing a relay team consisting of himself, Tolley, Leroux, and Reynolds. The showing of this team was excellent, although it was their first attempt. Our old friend, Peter, had promised to put the shot for us, but his nerve failed him, when he saw the fair damsels gathering at the gate. The special preparatory students, who were below us, although we were only Freshmen, insisted on coming up on our floor and doing whatever they liked. Of course, we objected and determined to put a stop to it. On a certain night one of their number came up on our iioor and committed an act that aroused our anger. Accordingly, our class waited on him and ordered him off the floor. He refused to do so, so two or three of us, taking hold of him, put him down by force. This act aroused the spirit of his fellow classmen, who soon hur- ried up on our fioor as if they desired to engage in a combat, but on seeing us march up to them, armed with bed slats, they soon quieted down. Again, one night in May, a band of white-robed iig- ures, representing the Sophomores, paid us a farewell call to show that they still held us in high regard. They compelled each one of us to read the law which governs Freshmen, but that was the extent of our punishment. But time, as it has never failed to do, passed on, and we found ourselves no longer Freshmen, after passing the june examinations. Quite a number of us received certificates for the good work we had done during the past year. We enjoyed ourselves immensely during commencement week. Although we looked forward to the time to go home for the Summer vacation, we were, indeed, sorry to part with one another, when the time came to depart from the Ancient City. After a very pleasant vacation, we returned to old St. john's, as Sophomores, dignifiedf?j and grand Sopho- mores. We were very sorry to learn that Peter and several others had not returned, but were gratified to see the Irishman's St. Patrick smile again. Very many of the new men joined our class, filling the places of those absent. Among the new aggregation was a bristling cat from the confines of the Eastern Shore, who often aroused the residents of the sacred walls of Pinkney with his hideous noises. He is generally known by the appel- lation of Nichols. But Scabbius Lawson is the name that now claims our attention, a name that has a celebrated renown far down on the Eastern Shore. His jokes, which he is exceedingly fond of displaying, are of an amusing character, in his opinion, but not so much so according to other people's views. Shortly a class meeting was held to reorganize and elect new ofhcers. We organized into the strongest and largest class in College. We adopted a class pin, the sec- ond ever adopted in College, and a class cap, the first ever adopted in College. We found that our class was much better in every respect than during our Freshman year. But football now demands our attention. Quite a number of us went into hard training. Dumpy Pen- ington proved himself a stone wall on tl1e line. All rush- ers of the pigskin found it to be quite a task to get through him. And Liz Mackall, who was employed as fullback, found it an easy matter to go through any line, his rushes were so terrific. We have mentioned the football qualities of the Baltimore Bird, alias C. Car- ter Reynolds. He was one of the particular stars of the team, for his playing at right end was marvelous. Woe be to the halfback who attempted to circle his end 5 he I was sure to lose ground. Dutch Shartzer, the musi- cian, decided to go in training and try his luck. The result was not disastrous, by any means, for the team discovered that they could not get along without him. There were no class games that season, so our team did not have the opportunity to prove its supremacy. There is a custom in College that upper classmen shall haze the Freshmen, because they, after having been sev- ered from all home restraints, are apt to begin to hold an exalted opinion about themselves, and this would, indeed, be very disagreeable to their parents, and so it is thought best to check them in their mad career. This sad but stern duty has always fallen upon the naughty Sopho- mores. But hazing was recently abolished, and, of course, the grand and glorious Class of Nineteen Hun- dred did not wish to revive it. But we are sorry to state that the Freshmen who came under our supervision were a green and uncouth lot of youths, and as soon as they discovered that hazing had been abolished, they began to entertain the idea that they were of much importance, ignoring the fact that they were only mere functions of the College. And, of course, we could not tolerate this, so we did not hesitate to occasionally give them a gentle reminder that there was just one class above them. THE FRESHMAN. won't be happy 'till he gels il.

KRUG FRESHMAN CLASS .Q greshman Glass .76'story. 4-'H-'l ! l ! I'-le HE initial class of the coming century, in which it is destined that the New Woman shall play such an important part, gathered-many for the first time -within college walls, on September 15, 1897. ' In a short while they were generally conceded by upper classmen - not by themselves -to have the requisite amount of greenness which a college Freshie is supposed to possess, and for this reason, we suppose, we have furnished unlimited pleasure to that ancient and respected order, the G. O. H. Leaving for the time being the subject of the great, grand and glorious order of G. O. H. and the Freshman greenness, we will come to the natural order of events. Owing to the fact that we are looked upon by our elders as an insignificant and brainless set of mortals, and not being permitted - or, rather, not being given - any opportunity to figure in anything of any importance, the history of a Freshman class is almost a blank 3 so in Goldsmith's words : Good people all of every sort Give ear unto my song, And if you find it wondrous short It cannot keep you long. In our opinion, it is a more difficult task to write a ,wax history of any interest under such circumstances as I have mentioned than to compose the history of one of the upper classes, when they have accomplished so many things of universal interest- that is, in their estimation. And then for them to say, A ' Freshie ' has no brains, we think is carrying things a little too far. We will admit we are green. In our greenness we have found that all that is green is not grass, and all that glitters is not gold. Notwithstanding these facts, from the start we have been regarded by our professors as a rather intelligent and courageous assemblage of youths. Although we have not as yet made any display of our talents, we hope in a short time to spring forth from the obscurity in which we have been placed and show that we at least possess the moral courage, if not the intellect, of a Soph. Ah l well, some day we'll be Sophs, too. One thing of which our class is proud is the fact that it has from the beginning taken an interest in everything that tends to the advancement and betterment of our College. We were not long to see that duty not only demanded that we should properly prepare our studies and keep from getting demerits, but also that we should lend our support to the College armies- football, baseball, etc. During its short existence the Class of Nineteen One has made quite a record in athletics, comparing favorably with its predecessors. We succeeded in finally placing in that much coveted position, as a member of the football team, one of our number, while not a few furnished excellent practice for the first team, under the name of scrubs. As yet we can say nothing definite regarding our out- look for baseball players. If one should judge from the practice that has been in progress the past few days, he would naturally sup- pose that we should have one or more representatives in this team also. f Not only have we manifested an interest in athletics, but also in the other branches of the College. The Young Men's Christian Association, Bible Class, the societies, etc., have on roll as members our boys, who are always ready and willing to lend a helping hand. We have started out with good determination, and we think with the proper spirit. How well we will succeed remains to be seen, but we sincerely trust that our characters-which in a great measure will be formed while here-will be such that we may be well fitted to go out in the battle of life, and make true, loyal and upright citizens, whether sixteen ounces of silver equals one ounce of gold or not. Though we may never attain any great distinctions or honors, one thing we can obtain, and that is the respect of ourselves and our fellowmen. We also contributed freely to the College zoo, fur- nishing a Fish, a Buzzard and a Monkey, and also donated the ground-a Hill-on which to build the menagerie. We do not desire to weary our readers with the recital of Freshman woes, but his troubles are so numerous that the writer -himself a Freshie - can hardly talk with- out giving vent to his feelings. In the first place, he has homesickness to contend with 3 then he has the Sophs to worry him. After being here a short while and the novelty of the thing disappeared, many of our members got a severe attack of homesickness which we are certain would have proved fatal had it not been for the timely applica- tion of soothing syrup, which was in severe cases in the form of a railroad ticket home. Especially was this so at the approach of the Christmas holidays, and the strains of Home, Sweet Home, came floating -- rather came jumping, as it was rendered by a Soph -through the corridors. Although it would be wickedness to call it singing, it accomplished the desired purpose by making many of us long for the parental hearth. This-is only one of the many tortures this noble band who call themselves the Class of 'Nineteen Hundred have inflicted upon us. They are great advocates of class dignity, believing they are many degrees above a Freshman. As a matter of fact, we never have the pleasure of enjoying their com- pany except in cases of compulsion, such as in mathe- matics, French and Latin recitations. When, however, they want any information or wish to gouge, they do not hesitate a moment to humble them- selves enough to ask the assistance of the nearby Fresh- man. He would be a genius sure who could go in either of these three classes and point out the members of the Class of Nineteen Hundred and those of Nineteen One. They seem to think a new man is not capable of taking care of himself g so in order that no great calamity befall him they have formed among themselves a sort of secret organization, known as the G. O. H., or the Grand Order of Hoboes, and take upon themselves the responsi- bility of initiating our boys in . The ways that are dark and the tricks that are vain. They appear to use great discretion in performing their duties, always- taking care not to interrupt us during study hours or when we are heavily weighted with our day's labors 3 so these white-robed spirits-this is the style of dress used - when they have any good advice to give, or when we unfortunately have gone astray, usually appear at our doors in the small hours of the night. We, recognizing their powerful strength, muscular, not intellectual, dare not refuse their admittance. Once in our rooms they take possession of everything, ourselves included. It would be wholly inadequate for us to betray the many secrets of this mighty organization, for we know it would be all the worse for us 5 but we candidly believe they approve of the right and follow the wrong. In the language of the frog, when being pelted with stones by some bad boys : What was fun for them was death to us. They are also very particular that none of the Profs are aware of their manoeuverings. We are at a loss to know the reason for using all this discretion. Certainly they fthe Profs Q fully approve of them giving us good advice and instruction as to how we should act while in the presence of the fair sex. Pre- sumably, they do not desire the presence of any of their instructors, fearing they might pass some bitter criticism upon the intellectual part of the programme. If this be the case, we are of the opinion their fears are well founded. When this body has any advice to give, they are careful that aicannon ball is in some corner of Pinkney,Hall. We cannot imagine why its presence is so much de- sired, but as these fellows are a rather far-seeing and careful class of men, it might be that they have taken this precaution so in case our hall should be blown up by the explosion of gas from any of them they could say it was done by some hostile enemy firing a cannon in it, and they would have the ball to prove their statement. That is the wisdom of a Soph. Our boys wish to express their great indebtedness to this noble band of geniuses for the good and needed advice they have given them, the great restrictions to which they have been subjected and above all, for the instructions they have received from them in rowing. We are of the opinion that if a man' can row five miles in thirty minutes in a wash bowl half full of water with tooth-picks as oars, he certainly won't have much trouble to make the College crew. Franklin says: If you would not be forgotten as soon as you are dead, either write something worth read- ing or do something worth writing. iflqf- ' v Mit ag no such word as fail, providing we improve each mo- ment, and take advantage of every opportunity. This we hope to do, and trust that the history we make will From this it is a foregone conclusion that our names would never be handed down to posterity, for our writ- ing, fthis historyj and We would be forgotten as soon as we were dead, should our time come, as the boys well deserve being written. says, anyways soon. We will close, feeling it our duty to make history One consolation : In the lexicon of youth there is rather than write it. if I -' I 1 ,. 'Q if - ihmf' , x in W - QQ - -in Q, W' .

The day was a perfect one for baseball, and quite a crowd gathered around our little mascot to cheer the team on to victory. The game opened with St. John's at the bat. Brady, the first man up, struck out. Hotch- kiss, the next man, reached first on an error by Kelly, but was put out at second, Hilleary was given four bad I balls, but was left on base by Kirkpatrick's being retired, from pitcher to first. 1 For the City College, the first two men up struck out. Seltzer, the next man up, reached first by Hawkins' error, stole second, but was unable to advance, as Gilbert struck out the next man. In the second inning neither side scored. ' I , St. John's, in the third, scored seven runs. Brady opened with a hit and stole second. Hotchkiss reached first through Seltzer's error, and both scored on Hil- leary's long hit for three bases. Hilleary scored through Madden's error that allowed Kirkpatrick to reach second. Hawkins got his base on balls, and both he and Kirk- patrick scored on Flory's hit. The City College scored also in their half. St. Iohn's continued to score up to the ninth inning, and Baltimore City College scored only in the third and fifth innings. Hotchkiss put up a fine game behind the bat. Gilbert, a new man, did fine work in the box g Hilleary and Brady of the old men played in their usual way. ' ' .Official Score. ST. JOHN'S. R. H. P.o. A.

I St. john's crossed bats with Gallaudet, of Washington, on Saturday, April 24, in a game which ended in a great victory for St. John's. When the game started off, it looked like the score would be a very close one, but St. John's clearly outplayed them. Many errors were made by both teams, one run being made by each team in the first inning. St. John's scored in the second. The next inning St. john's scored six runs, while Gallaudet made three, making the score 8 to 4. In the next St. john's scored one more and Gallaudet two. The fourth inning opened, and St. John's took a brace and piled up eleven more runs and allowed Gallaudet two. In the fifth St. John's got one run and Gallaudet was shut out. The sixth ended the same way for Gallaudet, but St. John's added three more runs. The seventh, eighth and ninth was a repetition for St. john's, while Gallaudet scored five runs in the eighth.

On Saturday, May 8, St. John's crossed bats with the University of Maryland. The game was the most excit- ing one that has ever taken place at the College, Mary- land University finally winning by a score of 6 to 5. Gilbert pitched for St. John's, and his twirling was of the gilt-edge order. The heavy-hitting visitors seemed unable to connect with his south-paw delivery at any stage of the game. St. Iohn's easily outbatted her opponents. Stupid base-running lost the game for St. John's. The feature of the game was the beautiful work of Armstrong in left field for the University of Maryland. For St. John's Brady accepted his chances in fine style. Follow- ing is the score : , Ufficial Score. Sr. JoHN's. R. H. P. o. A. E.

On May I2 St. John's journeyed to Maryland Agri- cultural College, and, sad to relate, was defeated by the score of I 5 to 7. It was the worst exhibition of baseball that St. John's has put up for several years. Gilbert started in to pitch, but was hammered so hard that our noble pitcher, Hilleary, had to succeed him. His pitch- ing was decidedly the feature of the game, M. A. C. being utterly unable to touch him. During his brief stay in the box he caused nine men to fan the air. But his coming into the game then was too late to save it. Following is the score by innings : INNING5' I 2 3 4 5 5 7 3 9 TOTAL- Three-BaseHits-H1LLEA1w,FLoRY.Two-BaseHits-BRADY, ST- .l0HN'S - .

During the game several of the Western Maryland players were overcome by the heat and were obliged to retire. St. John's showed her supe- riority in this game, none of her men being overcome by the heat. Reynolds, Spates and Sinclair of the new men did particularly well. The features of the game were long runs by Brady and Blanchard. St. john's kicked off, and Western Maryland brought the ball back to the centre of the field by a long run of one of their men. This position they lost in a fumble. Brady and Reynolds made gains of live yards. Blan- chard was then given the ball and made a gain of two yards, after which the ball was lost on a fumble, but was immediately regained again on a foul. By small gains St. Iohn's had the ball for some time, most of the gains being made by Brady, Blanchard and Mackall. The ball was lost by a fumble on the six-yard line. Western Maryland was prevented from advancing the ball by a fine tackle of Torbert. She lost the ball on off-side play. Blanchard then succeeded in making a touchdown eleven St. fohn'.s. Positions.

The third game for the championship was played on November I 3 with Maryland Agricultural College. The game was very uninteresting and poorly played. The features of the game were the long runs of Blanchard, Spates and Peterson. St. John's kicked off. M. A. C. made good gains, but soon lost the ball on a fumble. Blanchard was given the ball and made five yards. Whitsoii was sent through a centre twice for three yards. Blanchard, Sinclair and Spates each made good gains. By these rushes the ball was brought within a few feet of the goal line. Whitson ' Sr. JoHN's . . . then made a touchdown. Blanchard kicked the goal. M. A. C. kicked off and Blanchard caught the ball, but made small gain. St. john's lost the ball on downs when they were near the goal line. Peterson of M. A. C. made a run of thirty-five yards. Q Time was called, with the ball near the centre of the field. In the second half M. A. C. kicked off. St. john's was unable to make the required number of yards, and Blan- chard in attempting to kick fumbled the ball, Speak, of M. A. C., getting it, made a touchdown, but failed to kick the goal. Neither side scored after this. Score. . . . . 6 MARYLAND AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE . 4 ST, JOHN'S vs. IOHNS HOPKINS. The fourth game for the championship was played on Thanksgiving in Cambridge with Johns Hopkins. Both teams were on the field and ready to play by 2.30 o'clock. Hopkins won the toss and chose to defend the goal. St. John's kicked off and downed the man with the ball before he had made ten yards. Hopkins began to push the ball towards the middle of the field, but lost it on a fumble. St. John's then had a chance to' score, but fumbled on Hopkins' ten-yard line. Hopkins then, by fine interference, brought the ball out to the centre of the Jonns Hopkins . ST.JOHN'S . . ,. -l' 140 field, where it remained for some time. Hopkins, by hammering St. j'ohn's tackles, carried the ball down within two yards of St. John's goal line. Then St. john's took a brace and played ball as they should play and as they had played before. Hopkins was unable to make an inch, and St. -Iohn's got the ball on downs 5 thus the good hard work of Brady and long run by Blanchard carried the ball within twenty yards of Hopkins' goal, but then fumbled it, and Hopkins got the ball and kept it until the first half ended.

Hopkins did not hold them once Jonns Homcms Sr. JoHN's . . to kick, but the kick was blocked and the ball went over to St. John's, who after a few rushes again fumbled, and this time Hopkins took the ball down the field and by a very open foul made a touchdown.

Thirty-minute Halves. ST. jOHN'S vs. GALLAUDET. I The last game for the championship was played on December 4 with Gallaudet. This game decided whether Gallaudet should get the banner or that St. john's tie for iirst place, which, if they had, it would be necessary to play' another game to decide who would be champions of Maryland and the District of Columbia. The day for the game was very disagreeable, and the grounds were covered with water and mud. The Gal- 'I' I4 laudet men outweighed St. John's about fifteen pounds to a man. The features of the game were long runs by Brady and Blanchard. St. john's kicked off, Gallaudet catching the ball, and by mass plays and rushing the centre brought the ball to the centre of the field. Here they lost it on downs. Blan- chard took the ball and made a long run around Gallau- det's right end. After several attempts, St. john's lost the ball on downs, but soon got it again. Brady then made a long run, being downed about a foot from the goal line. ST. JoI1N's . . GALLAUDET . . Gallaudet, in the second fhalf, kicked off. St. Iohn's was unable to make many gains, so they were obliged to kick. Gallaudet by mass, tandem and end plays carried the ball down the field for a touchdown.

'++'!'+4l'+'! i'+ BOUT March 1, 1896, St. John's opened up a new branch of athletics, which was destined in the near future to become one of the greatest tha-t she would have in her midst. , An invitation having been received to participate in the inter-collegiate races at the University of Pennsylvania in April of that year caused St. john's to go to work, though little thinking that in a few short months she would carry away the plum from the universities of her native State. But, happily, such was the case g for in April, 1897, she sent a team to the second meet in which she had participated in Philadelphia, which did not return till they had made themselves champions of the State, and as a prize each man received a beautiful gold watch, and the team as a whole a silk banner of unique design. Some may say that St. john's is too proud of her vic- tory, and we say she can well afford to be proud, when one considers the great disadvantages under which she has always been compelled to labor, having at no time more than twelve or fifteen men trying for her team, against dozens, or perhaps scores, at the competing insti- tutions. But we will not say that she has always been successful on the race track 5 to the contrary, on March I 20, 1897, she was defeated in Baltimore by the very teams which she defeated in Philadelphia, but under far different circumstances, having at the former place to run on an eighteenth of a mile track, which was, owing to the short corners, a great handicap to the boys, who had practiced only on a quarter of a mile cinder track. When our boys appeared on the track at 2.42 P. M. of that memorable day, little thought those big universities that they would have to bite the dust before the end of a very few minutes. Time - 3 minutes and 41 seconds, was the telegram that flashed into Annapolis that evening, and our boys were the heroes of the hour. The race from start -to finish was a beautiful one, Skir- ven making his best record, followed by Strahorn, who did not allow the distance between him and his opponent to widen. Next came Gale, with his beautiful step, still keep- ing the distance no wider than it was 5 and last, but not least, Smith, who, though No. 3 at the start, managed by an almost superhuman effort, which we think could be accomplished only by him, to cross the line instead of No. 3, No. 1, thus winning for St. Iohn's one of her greatest victories. - RUNNING TEAM.

'l-'I'-l l l H l ! I' HE squalid apartment was only lighted by a tallow candle, and the artist sat alone, resting his dejected head on a badly polished table. There was little furniture in the room, and absolutely nothing pertaining to comfort 3 but the man with bent head cared naught for this. He was thinking of many things--things which might have been, but were not, and he only was to blame 5 thinking of himself, tossed ruthlessly about on life's stormy tide, ruined by his own perverseness ! His crushed hopes and aims, where were they ? His spurned, unnoticed work, where was it ? He thought of his future- no light glimmering in the distance far ahead, for the light he had passed, and could return to it no more. A woman was that light, a dazzling illumination 5 so bright as to have blinded him 5 and he, thinking to accustom himself to it, sank into the refuge of darkness. But the blackness of vice is too strong for us all. The man could not return, for he had no power but to be whirled on and on. They had played together years ago, Claude Vanbrugh and his fair sweetheart, Doris. He had been her favorite champion 3 she was his only love 3 then, now and would be forever. But as they had grown older a great gulf had gradually yawned between them, which became ever wider and deeper and darker. He, led on by a false light at the bottom of the abyss, descended day by day, step by 152 step, leaving her waiting above. From there he had tried to gain great aims, to be famous, to be an honored man. Alone he had struggled, friendless, except for Doris. The other light was not a friend. He had painted many pictures, and had held the golden cup filled with sparkling nectar, when the false glow shone out mock- ingly, alluringly, and dashed the prize away, so that it fell into the eager grasp of another ready waiting. The artist had been cruelly wronged and deceived, but for many days he knew it not. It was the face of his dead mother which brought the truth before him. In a dream he saw it all, and, waking, he loathed the light, turned from it to Doris, now so very far above him., Called to her, only to be mocked at: painted for her, only to be ridiculed. Vanbrugh sat thinking of his past with bent head and clasped hands. Oh I to be here, miserable an'd wretched l To be nobody, to have nothing, to have tried and failed 3 to have grasped and lost l The bitterness stung him, and he wept so that his tears fell fast upon a painting lying before him on the unpolished table-not that of Doris-blurring the eyes and the curling hair, erasing the mouth, washing out the rosy cheeks, extinguishing its brilliancy forever from the artist's mind, and he re- membered it no more. Then a great desire came upon him. Once again the brush dashed quickly on a can- vas 3 once again the artist dreamed and let his hopes rise high. Henwas painting his life 3 the light and darkness and the despair 3 he was working for her whom he loved and against her whom he hated. Oh I how the fever burned 3 his eyes Hamed and his hands trembled as stroke after stroke brought the picture to perfection. The painted lights seemed to cast shadows in the gloom, not the tallow candle's rays. Two days, three days, without food or rest, and 'twas finished 3 the last touch was dry, and the picture seemed a marvelous creation ! It was put on exhibition, gazed at, wondered at, ad- mired 3 he was praised, flattered, courted and made much of. He descended from the hated attic and a few short, triumphant days lived in bliss. But the fever was strong and the artist weak. He was sinking. All this praise and glory was naught to him now. The elegant apartment in which he was lying stifled him. His sorrowful eyes rested in turn on the flowers and dainties around the couch. What were they to him P Ah l yes, the world for a day had changed toward him 3 it was pleased to be amused 3 men need amuse- ment 3 but tomorrow, perchance, this same man might be starving. He laughed bitterly, and, as though his mirth were odious to him, he changed his mood and sighed. A spray of tiny lilies answered the sigh, and he looked on them. How pure they wereg how divinely pure, in comparison with the other flowers. The giver of those lilies was before the artist's eyes, and again he sighed. It was dusk, and the shadow deepened. There was light now to brighten the gloom. But, liark l there was a footstep on the stair and suddenly from the thresh- old a light shone forth, a radiant brightness. It was she l The artist stretched forth a feeble, trembling hand 3 this was too much joy. Death stood waiting for him. But the woman whis- pered unto Death, who tarried at her bidding. And she kissed the man upon his brow once, and then again, and he closed his weary eyes and smiled.

Ylil.l.0'l I', 'QL llllmtrnlcd by the Authorzj HO of Ninety-one and thereabouts doesn't remember Ike l' VVier, the slugger-poet of Ninety-two, and Bill l lipps, the agrarian of the Class of Ninety-one ? Of course, we remem- ber others of both those classes, but no one who ever writhed in silent agony on Sun- day afternoons on the third or fourth Hoor of l ii1kney while the strains of an CXtCllllDOI'lZCtl selection from a home-made violin filled the air with their dismal wailings can ever forget Ike , 3 Wier, and no one who witnessed, or was in any way a party to llill liflipps, escape from a second-story window of Pinkney one windy night in December upon the alarm of hazers being carried to him, can forget .llill lflipps. Ike VVier wasn't the only violinist we had to bear dur- ing our stay in l7inkney, but he was by all odds the most persistent. The others were content to follow the old masters in their selections, and if Annie Rooney seemed to be a general favorite among our musicians, we never bore them any 1nalice- we took it out on the man who wrote the blasted thing. llut lke was different. Ysaye's wildest flights of violinic fancy set no standard or limits for lke's musings in the same line. l think he I had two more strings on his violin than Ysaye generally uses, one taken from an old bass viol and the other from a mandolin. V I could always tell the status of Ike's love affairs by the nature of the tones which proceeded from his room. I got so after awhile that I could tell just what he had had for dinner. At times he would stride madly up and down the hall, sounding forth with utmost vehemence the mad- dest utterings that l. ever heard from any musical instru- ment except the throat of an angry bull. On those occasions I would quietly barricade my door and make ready for fiight from the window. l. always abhorred murder, and if there had to be murder I didn't want to be a party to it. On other occasions the tiniest wren could not equal Ike's violin in the softness of its wooings or the grace of its tender chirpings. Seldom did he play an old familiar air, ex-cept by request 5 his apparent aim in life was to put in music the inmost feelings of his heart. or stomach, a good enough aim, provided you are not a misanthrope or a chronic dyspeptic. As I said in open- ing, who could forget him P I will not tell here the particulars of Flipps' escape from the second-story window of Pinkney, it's a long story, and, besides, I think I was bound to eternal secrecy as to some of the circumstances. Suffice it to say that after his escape we could never induce Flipps to spend another night with us in Pinkney Hall. He preferred the safety and seclusion of his country residence. ,But later in the year, under the stress of circumstances, he did spend a few days with us 5 and this is how it hap- pened. During 1ny Senior year- lflipps then being a Senior and Ike Wier a Junior- Flipps was accustomed to take his midday meal with the rest of the students in the Col- lege mess-room in Humphrey Hall. At that time the boys had gotten into a very disagreeable habit of rolling up the soft parts of a slice of bread or a roll and throwing them across the hall at one another, a habit of which I always disapproved, and spoke my disapproval in em- phatic tones. So emphatic, in fact, were my objections, and so often reiterated that when it came to a question of whether Parson Hurst or I had thrown such a mis- sile, it was always believed that the Parson had done it, and only his cloth saved him from dire and speedy retalia- tion. At any rate, one day someone from our table threw a large roll of sodden bread at the juniors' table, and unfortunately it hit Ike Wier in his eye, or rather it would have done so had it not been for the fact that his eyes were protected by a very valuable pair of gold-rimmed spectacles. Ike was at the time composing a soliloquy to rival Hamletls, beginning To be or not to be, pre- paratory to partaking of the dessert in front of him, and naturally was very much provoked. To cut the matter short, the size, force and direction of the projectile were duly considered, and it was traced conclusively to our I table, and from that to Flipps, the Parson or myself. That I could have thrown it was out of the question 5 the Parson denied it, and it was known to be against Flipps' principles to throw anything to eat away. In face of the presumption of innocence arising from the latter charac- teristic, however, the juniors decided - most unjustly, I have reason to believe- that lflipps had thrown it, and being in a large majority, as well as puffed up with a sense of their dignity, they decided also that the honor of their class must be vindicated. The upshot of the matter was that Iilipps came to me that afternoon with a formal challenge to fight a duel, the challenger being Ike WVier, and the option being given Flipps to choose the weapons. .l have lost the original challenge, but lke never lost an opportunity to put his thoughts in rhyme, and, if my memory serves me aright, it ran about this way 1 To MR. BILL FLll'1'S : The man with thick lips. As you very well know, you threw at me dough. 1 must have amends. and the writer intends to fill you with holes for throwing old rolls. As is always the case, the time and the place are left to your choice: my own I'll not voice. The weapons, likewise. I care not to name: but I've short-sighted eyes- please remember the same. As you're bound to get licked. bring with you your bier. I am not with respect, your truly. IKE WIER. Upon a careful scrutiny of this epistle, I told Flipps that I considered it highly insulting, and that the only thing to do was to accept the challenge. The question then became what weapons were to be chosen, and the following dialogue ensued : Can you shoot ? Shoot who P Shoot anything-pistols, guns, mortars, cannons, Gatling guns, cat rifles - anything ? I can shoot a bow and arrow. Get out ! next thing you'll be wanting to scalp some- body. Can you shoot a pistol P H N037 All right. Can you fence ? I should say I can 3 I put up ten panels in one day last vacation. XVhy, I'm the greatest fencer in Aim Arandel. Now, look here, said I, dropping into Junior gram- mar, this ain't a wild west Indian show, and it ain't a farmers' picnic. I want to know if you can fight, and if you can fight, what you ca11 fight with. No, I can't fight. Then what did you want to get in a duel for P I didn't want to get in a duel. I didn't throw any bread. Parson I-Iurst must have done it. NVell, nobody's going to risk their eternal soul by fighting a preacher, and you've got to uphold the class dignity. Class hasn't got any dignity. . ' Class hasn't got any dignity l ' Why look at Reg- ister, look at Parson Hurst, look at Daniels, and finally, look at me, said I, drawing myself up, imposingly. Well, if you think you've got so much dignity, why don't you fight for it yourself P Now do11't get funny about it : I can't fight because I wasn't challenged. I! I Ill get him to change it, and challenge you. Iilipps, you don't know any more about a question of honor than a monkey. Who ever heard of anybody changing a challenge P You're in for a fight 3 you've got to fight, and the only question is how you're going to tight. Can you box ? H Noll! Then I'll teach you. VVhen ? Right 11ow. But first we must answer this challenge. Upon the strength of our determination, I sat down and with great care and much thought, wrote the follow- ing letter : MR. IKE WIER : Sir :-I have received from you a scrawl which I suppose was meant to be a dignified epistle. From all I can gather from the doggcrel, I take it to be a challenge to fight. Out of respect for your weak eyes, an affliction with which kittens and puppy- dogs are accustomed to suffer, I have chosen fists as the weapons, -and I will be careful to place them where you can see them. The place I have chosen is the Government Farm, and the time six o'clock tomorrow morning. I am sir, without respect, yours for gore, BILL Fr,1r'Ps. After Flipps had carefully copied this letter, I took it to Wier in person. From him I learned that Vic Torbert, now the dignified editor of The Cecil Times or some other newspaper, was to be his second. I saw Vic and arranged all the preliminaries, making our manner of departure for the field of battle one which would not result in our capture by the police, of whom we stood in great awe. That done, I went back to teach Iflipps how to box. I never cared much for actual boxing, as I always found that, while the other 1112111 might be the veriest tyro in the art of self-defense, yet out of his very awkwardness his fists and arms were never where they should be at that par- ticular time. I had, however, in my youth carefully pe- rused, and still preserved, a book entitled, I-Iow to Box, one of those yellow-backed, ten-cent books, the series of which is a veritable encyclopaedia, among its com- panions in the series being I-Iow to Cook, How to Build and Sail Doatsf, I-Iow to Camp Out,', I-Iow to Train Elephants, and a number of others containing just such useful information. This book I now got out, repaired to a vacant room on the same floor and pro- ceeded to teach Flipps all about the science of boxing.. ' First I showed him how to hold his guard. I-Ie held it perfectly, th e only trouble being ' t h a t he held it all g th e time. I-Ie w a s too easy 5 as long as he held that guard I c o u l cl p e p p e r As long ns he held that guard I could pepper hiui all over. I him all over. The book told just l1ow to hit a man when he held his guard that way, and I found after awhile that I could hit him where I wanted, even without the book. Getting tired of such mild sport, I told him that he need not think he was a cigar-store Indian, but must do some lighting himself. I-Ie said all right, and I went off to my book and found a very valuable blow called a left- hand lead at the head. I came back, took my position, carefully measured the distance, and told Flipps that when I went to hit him he must keep the blow off and hit back. I carefully led according to instructions, but it didn't quite reach him. I-Ie came down on my left arm with a blow that nearly disclocated my elbow, and came back at me with both fists. Not having time to look at my book for the proper defenses to such a mode of warfare, and overcome by his awkwardness and superior weight, I shortly afterward found myself down in the corner, with him tramping on me. Time ! I yelled, a11d he stopped. Picking myself up, I looked at him scornfully and said : You must think you're a threshing machine, donit' you ? I didn't come in here to get internally injured g I came here to teach you to box. Now, after this, you just keep my blows off, and don't hit me any more, or I'1l stop teaching you. All right, said Iflipps, submissively. For four or Hve hours we went on practicing. At first I easily demonstrated that science would tell as I rained blow after blow on him, and he didn't ward off one out of a dozen. But finally he got much better, and I had a very hard time to hit him, so both being pretty well used up with our unusual exertions we stopped. Then I taught him what l considered the finest thing in the book- getting a man in chancery. Now, l'lipps, I said, when he ducks and gets in close, catch him around the neck with your left arm and pound his face with your right fist. I'll holler at you to quit, as it's against the rules, but don't you mind me. The more I holler the more you pummel him. Then Torbert will pull you off, but don't stop pounding him until you have to.', Flipps thought that was a Fine scheme, but as I would not give him a chance to practice it, we turned in for the night to dream over our early victory of the morrow. Morning came and it was cold and drizzly. I carefully rubbed Flipps down with vaseline, to make him supple, I told him 5 put the Parson's sweater on him, bundled him. up, and then we started off as had been agreed before- hand. Arriving at the scene of the hostilities to come, we waited for Ike and Vic. Pretty latef, I said, looking at my watch, which was about two minutes after six. Maybe they won't come, said Flipps. Ten minutes went by, while I questioned Flipps on all the mysteries of left-hand leads at the head, left-hand body blows. right-hand upper-cuts, etc., and their various defenses. Still they didn't come. Believe they're afraid, said Flipps, sarcastically. Iiive minutes more. Sorry I took the trouble to come all the way out 160 here, said lilipps. 'I'hey'1'e afraid to come, scared off. Five minutes more. I wish he would come. .l.'d give him the worst licking he ever had in his life, continued Iflipps. 'lust then I spied our opponents sneaking along between the evergreens and trees so as to escape the eyes of the vigilant police of Annapolis, then about two miles off and presumably asleep. I pointed them out to Iflipps. lVonder if he'll apologize F 5' said Flipps. i Naw ! said I . VVonder if he'd accept an apology P he continued. Naw ! said I again. Wfier and his second arriving, both having overslept themselves, we tossed up a button for position, and Iilipps got the advantage, which would have been considerable had he kept it. In point of weight and height, when standing in sweat- ers and trousers, Flipps seemed to have much the better of it. Wie1', while well built, didn't look particularly tough or muscular, while Flipps looked like a rugged oak. If Torbert had been game, I would have lost my allowance for the next six months then and there, but he wasn't. Facing each other, VVier held a nondescript sort of a guard, easily and loosely, while Iflipps could have been taken for the man who wrote I-Iow to Box. The rounds were to be three minutes each, and I was time- keeper. Begin. said 1. Iilipps straightened out his left in Wier's direction g the latter walked around it and planted one on Flipps' right eye. lilipps' jaw dropped. He looked surprised, and straightened out his right. Ike gave him a right- hand upper-cut which closed up his mouth with a sound like a mouse trap prematurely set off. lflipps swung around as if he were on a pivot, and with a sweeping. scythe-like motion tried to mow Ike's head offf Ike ducked and hit him in the pit of the stomach, which doubled my man up. Time ! Halt ! ! Foul ! l ! I yelled, excitedly. and the round came to an end. VVhere's that book ? said Flipps, as he got his breath in the seclusion of his own corner. Left it in my roomfl I replied. Then I may as well surrender at once, said he, as I've forgotten everything there was in it. Well, never mind the book, said I, mildly 3 he's got the advantage of you on the reach. You'll have to try close fighting. Get in close and get him in chanccryf' Chancery? O, yes, I had forgotten, said Flipps, hopefully. So up they stood for the second round. Begin, said I. . With the word Flipps ran in under Ike's guard,butt him below the belt and then reached wildly for his neck. Ike jumped aside, got Flipps' head under his left arm and 161 began pounding him with his right, just exactly as I had told Flipps he was to do to him. Stop ! I yelled, but Ike didn't mind me a bit. Help ! I-Ielp ! yelled Flipps. .Police l I cried. At that Ike dropped Flipps and started for his coat. Now. that's not rightf, I said. You've got no right to catch a man around the neck and hit him : let's bar that out. All right,', said VVier and his second, and the oppo- nents stepped forward for the third round. This time it looked like Flipps' round. I-Ie tried the threshing machine tactics which he had tried on me in practice, and backed Ike all over the ground, the only open spot for Ike being the top of Iflipps' head. Finally Ike dodged behind a tree and Iilipps stopped the machine after rapping the tree two or three healthy body blows. For the fourth round I advised Flipps to try the same tactics, but to look out for trees. .lzlut this time Ike was ready for him. As lfilipps came down on him he jumped to one side and gave him one on his right ear. Iilipps turned toward his opponent, the latter dodged back and gave him one on his left ear. Iflipps turned again and got one on the jaw, followed by another Hat on the nose, and two more, one on each eye. I-lis eyes had been shut before. since he had given up science, so those last blows didn't make much difference except in the matter of re- covery, b u t the one on the nose was cal- culated in its e f f e c t s to make Malvi- na, the Par- son's W a sh- woman, b e - lieve the rev- erend gentle- man had been indulging in a bull - fight. Flipps did get one or two in on Ike, but t h e y w e r e spent b l o w s and didn't do m u ch dam- age. Time being called, I surveyed my principal, and then silently led him out into the arena, where the other side could see him. The fight was plainly at an end. Both Flipps' eyes were fast closing, his nose was twice its nor- mal size and made him look as though he had been I silently led my principal out into the arena. 162 habitually intemperate all his life. His lower lip was cut, and his ears were ringing, so that he couldn't hear my instructions for the next round. Ike made the amanda honorable by apologizing. Flipps asked me whether he should accept it. I said I couldn't see anything else to do, and he said he couldn't see anything else either. I-le was game enough, but a very poor fighter. Had I had a week with him I think we could have won the iight, as How to Box is a splendid primer 011 the art of self-defense, and the only trouble with it is that it takes it for granted that the other man is not doing anything while you are fighting him. lflipps stayed with us several days and wasn't hazed. The class paid the bill for raw meat, and his eyes and nose gradually got back to their normal hue and shape. The only thing that worried him was that all through his convalescence Ike was practicing some new high- sounding tune down at the other end of the hall. I didn't tell Flipps what it was, but I had recognized it at once as a hymn of victory. Every time I heard it tl1e whole fight came up before me. First, there was a deep rum- bling of low notes, sometimes short and quick, but usually like the growl of a dog. That was the challenge and the angry thoughts which followed its acceptance. Then there was a light, slow, stealthy sort of a tune. That was the march to the field of battle. Then there was the sound of drums and bugles. That was me calling time. Then there was a slow sort of music, like the orchestra plays while the villain is stealing up to murder the inno- cent maiden, interspersed, however, with an occasional convalescing. Then followed the climax 5 no words can plunk or low note. That was the first round. Then describe it, but it is enough to say that it proclaimed to an intermission. Then followed the other rounds, each the college world at large that victory had perched upon one clearly distinguishable from the other.

'I- HE circus tent was crowded 5 not a seat to be had anywhere on the circular tiers extending one above the other to the height of at least forty feet from the ground. Peanut and lemonade venders found unutterable diffi- culty in getting around to sell their light refreshments, while everyone was pushing and struggling to .get in someone else's way, or, to put it in a milder form, every- one was trying to get a place where nothing would be missed by him-no, not even nails in the show horses' shoe. In the centre of the tent was a tall pole, around which a medium-size platform was erected, and on this tem- porary stage a .table and two chairs were placed. Of course, the usual number of trapeze, suspended rings and bouncing boards were scattered throughout the tent, and there were three circles Calthough small onesj in which the performance was to take place. Away near the entrance from which the performers made their appearance a brassy brass band sounded, and this hushed the expectant audience into something akin to quiet. Soon, however, the music lost its charm, and impatience was markedly written on every face, until I the manager left his box outside the tent, and after bow- ing politely, begged All the good folk of this flourish- ing town fliiredericktownj to accept his profuse apolo- gies for having kept them waiting so long, but the fact was Mlle. Hortense de Gouillet, the feature of the even- ing-the mesmerist-had suddenly been taken ill, and - Here the people rose from their places and looked threatening, but seeing that the manager was still trying to speak, they resumed their seats, catching the words very distinctly- but she will make her appearance as usual tonight, although a little tardy in coming to the tent. Then, with one grand iiourish of his soft felt hat, the speaker retreated, amidst the -thundering applause of Fredericktown's enthusiastic inhabitants. In truth, it would have been a sad calamity if Mademoiselle had been unable to appear, for these country farmers in this small fthough, to use the manager's words,j flourishing town had never seen nor had they heard of aught so wonderful as Mademoiselle's power. On the bill boards it was written : Mlle. de Gouillet BY ONE STEADY GLANCE COMPEL ' ANY MAN, WOMAN OR CHILD TO COME TO HER, OR TO LEAVE HER PRESENCE. 'ie WHO CAN WITHOUT DIFFICULTY BRING ANY PERSON SHE WILLS TO ' THE PLATFORM. ETC. And for two weeks this strange woman- if, indeed, she were a woman -had been the talk of the town. But to continue : The performance had commenced. First, a stately procession of elephants entered, marched around the entire inclosure and retired. These were fol- lowed by half a dozen riderless horses, which galloped around in their free and easy style until caught by the ring masters and conducted to their proper places. They were then bidden to dance, walk, kneel, and to do num- bers of other things equally delightful to the rustic audience. After this the riders pranced in, gaily bedecked in brilliant hues. When the trapeze performers had made their adieux, a stillness fell upon the people, a sudden hush, 'for now she was to enter l Even the lemonade boy stopped, with his foot on a farmer's hat, to look. She came 3 not a large, coarse-looking, masculine woman, with painted cheeks and tousled hair-no. A petite creature, simply dressed, and looking anything but prepossessing. In reply to the almost timorous applause which greeted her entrance, Mademoiselle quietly bowed and took her place on the platform. Indeed, she did look very weak, and here and there all over the tent motherly matrons murmured something to that effect. But Mademoiselle merely seated herself in a chair and dreamily gazed around her. Then in a low and gentle voice she told the people that if anyone doubted her power to rise. The whole population of F redericktown sat like charmed birds and no one moved. Then, continued the mesmerist, I will that all the men on the bench opposite me come and touch my hand. Look I There was a stir, and a dozen or more men rose, and without looking at anyone but the central figure made their way to the platform. Mademoiselle extended a small, refined hand, which looked, as did her body, very out of place in the rough circus tent. It was amusing to see all those strong men crowded around a tiny figure in white, each one striving to touch the extended hand. She had accomplished her object and the farmers looked exceedingly foolish g then a buxom farmer's wife raised her voice and shouted to Mademoiselle, telling her that-nay, she defied her-no one could force her to move l The tired. little woman only arose, and resting herself against the tall pole, fixed her eyes upon the woman. The whole populace turned to look at the dame who had challenged this wonder. Slowly she arose, and almost glided down the many steps to the ground 5 then to the platform. Seating her- self on one of the chairs, madam - appeared quite dazed. Now you may go, wearily said her captor, and the woman stood up, quickly stared round her, and made her way from the tent, amid the furious applause of the lookers-on. The performance was over, and the manager stood aloft in his box, shouting vigorously the many attractions that his Show afforded 5 that tomorrow the rest of his treasures would be exhibited g also that Mademoiselle would make another appearance. Crowds of interested farmers pushed to obtain tickets I and the lemonade boy conversed affably with his rival, the peanut vender. Tired little Mlle. de Gouillet leaned against a large box some distance from this bustling scene, waiting for a dis- reputable one-horse hack-for Mademoiselle and her single attendant lived quite apart from the every-day circus peoplef' She knew absolutely nothing of the manager's affairs, save that the small remuneration for her services was very little, considering her hard life. Mademoiselle Hortense was not bred for the circus. All the superficial show and dazzling gaudiness disgusted and repulsed her, the manager especially, with his overly polite speeches and assumed gallantry. The mesmerist stood there, thoughtlessly looking at the moving crowd, when one face in the blended moon and torch-light attracted her attention. 'Twas not a full face, only a profile, and the owner of it was standing quite close to the manager's box. Sud- denly a desire to see his full face seized Mademoiselle, and she willed that he should turn 3 never for an, instant doubting her power, she only thought lightly of him, but when, after waiting a few seconds, the man remained in the same position, she thought harder, then harder, until all at once Hortense found herself leaning half way over the box in her eagerness. Every now and then the man would take a step nearer the box, but he seemed in no hurry, for always someone stepped in and bought his ticket before him. He shall look l Mademoiselle gasped. He shall ! and, gathering all her strength, she gazed with her whole soul in her eyes at him, and then with a despairing little cry she fainted in her faithful servant's arms.' Driving to the hotel, the mesmerist's brain was fraught' with conflicting fears 3 was she going to be very ill? Was she now ill P or, worse than all, was she losing her wonderful power ? That could be tested, and passing through the corridor of the hotel she had ample chance to reassure herself, which she did, and that night Mademoiselle's tired eyes closed only to have troubled dreams of the only person upon whom she had ever failed to work her will l The following night even more difficulty was found in obtaining seats. The performance progressed pretty much the same as usual, and when it came to the mes- merism part, everyone rose as the little woman entered the tent. Her one absorbing thought was that the man should come to the platform. Alas I she was disappoint- ed, baffled 5 no man came g and weary, very weary, the mesmerist retired to her private room. Hurriedly chang- ing her costume, she tried to reach the main entrance before 'everything was packed in shipping order. But even this was not to be. just in time to reach the night train did the circus troupe reach the station, and Madem- oiselle had not a glimpse of the man. at vi 4: ak .ar Town after town had been scratched off the manager's card, and after three years Fredericktown was the next halt. ' Mademoiselle's health had been steadily declining, and the reason ? Other members of the troupe talked con- I tinually about her, and some of the more observant ones remembered that she had not been the same since that first night in Fredericktown 3 not one could explain why. The fact was this : All the mesmerist's power had cen- tred itself on one man. She was striving to exercise over him the same influence she had on others. Never once during her appearances in the large tent did Madem- oisel1e's thoughts wander from her man. He shall come, she always said, but he did not, and each time, she went from the stage weaker than before. And now they were to spend two days at this town. Petite Hortense rallied considerably and conversed quite easily with the attendant until the time for her appear- ance. . There was the same hush, the same expectancy, the same wonder -for the people had not forgotten her. But was there success ? No g all her power was fading 5 it was vanishing, and she wanted to die l Oh l to die l When once outside the tent her eyes involuntarily sought the place where she had seen him, but he was not there now. No ! Ah l yes, away across the field he was walking between two men, but how gracefully he was walking l being carried almost, it seemed to her. He was standing rigid, and they were helping him. Again she leaned over the box, again her soul rose to its starry windows, again she willed that he should turn. But he walked on and on, and was nearing the circus manager. Mademoiselle raised her white hand and spoke - all the intensity of her frail body was in that word, Turn l Nay, he did not, although both of the others did, and then - she fainted. In the morning, Mademoiselle could not rise. Word was sent to the manager, and he went quite out of his mind for a short space of time, forgetting in his rage to be polite. What was to be done P - Weary at last with his storming, the dying woman promised to appear, and not to disappoint him. Night came, and the mesmerist stood by the old box, with the blended moon and torch light shining upon the manager's stand, where he shouted orders to several men, and in the midst of the group stood her man ! Suddenly a chill-a shudder-passed through the tiny figure, as she saw the manager stop and slap her man on the shoulder, saying, with a coarse jest: He's a good mascot, ain't he, boys P and they all cheered. What could it mean ? Why did he not raise his hat and cheer with the others ? Mademoiselle only waited, and soon everyone was gone except him. He stood facing the box with his back to her. The moon shone brightly on her ashen face as she stag- gered to where he was standing, and rested her trembling fingers on his arm. Not moved yet P I am dying, she said, softly, look at me, and walking in front of him she gazed up into his face-the face of a 'wax figure. , 169 ommeneement jay. wednesday, June 76115, 7897, at 70.50 JL .921 ORDER OF EXERCISES.

' Here bound at length thy wishes 3 I but teach What blessing man, by his own power, may reach. The path 'to peace is virtue. The endless ti-de of years rolls on -away, And leaves behind its transient, passing spray. Beneath the genial moisture of its dew Kingdoms and empires into being grew, And sawey the world : each day beholds them fall Into decay's embrace and ruin's thrall. They rise and pass away : mankind, the surge 'Neath which they sink and fromuwhich they emerge, Today reveals them clothed in wealth and power 3 Tomorrow gone l destroyed within an hour. Where, where art thou, Athena, 'neath whose rod Nations have trembled as before a god P Alas l thou scarce canst boast of being free, And nations scorn thee who have bent the knee Before thy power, and decay now plays Amid the glories he cannot erase. 181 Thy glories l whence have all these glories sprung That have for ages ever round thee clung P Whence springs all glory of this changeful sphere P Hark l now a voice replies, soft, faint, yet clear : The power that stirs the restless human breast To follow glorylr bright, empyreal crest Is but to win a name 5 an empty name To sound a monument through the lists of Fame. Strange is the spirit and the mind of man, And strange the thoughts and hopes that crowd the span Of their existence. In their depths, unseen As that 'neath Etna's sloping breast of green, Forever preys a fire, a galling flame. Which years may strive, and vainly strive, to tame. Deep - deep - unseen, within the human breast Forever lurks a demon of unrest, Whose endless whisperings allure the soul And weigh it down into his fell control. What, then, avails meek virtue's warning cry P 'Tis naught I unheard, or passed unheeded by. Man throws his soul, heart, passions in the toil For glory, wins, and what the paltry spoil P A fancied crown of laurel, which, though green, Fades on the wave of time and sinks unseen. Oh l Fame, thou goddess from whose stars is shed A A glare that dazzles all thou hast misled, What are thy charms P canst thou revive the brave Who sleep within the hero's verdant grave P Canst thou restore the feeble breath 'that's fied, Or calm the dying brow, or cheer the dead P Or to the blackened clime restore the green Of former days and each remembered scene P The hero who hath burst the stream of life In marshaled thousands, turning from the strife I-Iastes to his cottage by the Tiber's shore, But Ends, alas l it is his home no more. 182 . l .,.,,,.,.

No more he sees his youthful son in play Lead, with his father's sword, th' imagined fray. All -all are gone l the passing zephyr's breath Stops in its play, and to him whispers Death l Where, then, are thou, oh I glory P Come and cheer The bosom robbed of all it held as dear. What are thy hidden charms, oh l laureled Fame ? Hast ever tl'1ou'been but a shallow name ? Yet what a name l within its boundless sphere The course of ages may be pictured clear. Before me seems a vale, a gentle vale Upon an isle of summer, and the pale, Soft light of Dian twines among the trees That softly tremble 'neath the evening breeze. And gazing there I see an endless throng That through this vale enchanted moves along. On, on, they go, amid the summer's bloom, Thoughtless and happy. Lo l a shade of gloom Steals on them now 3 faint, silent yet it spreads, And settles fast upon the wave of heads. Yet on the throng.in silence ever goes, A human wave that restless onward flows. But now no more the verdure meets their eyes, No more the bed of flowers beneath them lies. Great, blackened rocks lift high a frowning brow Above the depths that darkly yawn below. And now from these there comes -is it a moan ? It is-it is- low misery's dying groan. Why do ye pause, ye foremost ? Have ye ne'er Heard sounds like these float on the summer air ? No sound can chill the heart or sympathies Awake, like misery's groan as slolw she dies. The foremost paused, but slowly onward now They pass 5 the gloom above, around, below, A torturing spirit seems to drive them on 3 183 Each knowing not the other- all alone. Before them now an opening chasm lies, And from its depths low muttering thunders rise, As if the elements all striving were To burst the earthly bonds that held them there. They strive to go, but none have ever crost 5 The leap is made 5 a life forever lost. Such, Fame, thou art 5 a blooming valley, where The voice of pleasure fills the summer air. But enter there, sad is thy mortal doom, The paths of glory lead fast to the tomb.
