University Notes And Gossip

- Geo. Colt, of 72, i the " crack " artist of the New York Illustrated Weekly. - Dr. Rose is Eigain on active duty at the Laboratory, dealing out chamicals and keeping the books. - The graduate8 of the Medical Department up to and including the recent class number 1,475. - 1716 : that ia the number of lawysrs " grouud out " by the Law Department at its seventeen annual coramencements. - The Chronicle is again crying for Emerson or Taylor or lome other over puffed orator to supplant the boys and girls on commencement day. - The Chronicle says : " Hon. Williaw W. Phelps, class of '46, is editer of the Sentinel&ud practiciug law at Bedwing, Minn." Mr. Phelps having been dead for several years the above item is ot special interest. - The Chronicle has struck a " big bonanza " : that is a member of " last year's board " has come forward like a man and paid up that oíd debt which has been the cause of so much " onpleasantness " between editors and printer. - The Regenta haviug appropriated $100 at their recent session for " ceutennial " purposes, the University will be represented by a brief history of the institution, by Prof. Adams ; a catalogus of the museum, by Prof. Frieze ; the annual calendar, photographic views, a portfolio of euginueeriug drawings, pharmaceutical preparatious, cases of birds, shells, etc - At the regular meetmg of the Faculty held on Monday evening the following "spaakers " were elected for the coming commencement: Charles A. Blair, Jackson ; Clarence S. Brown, Milwaukee, Wis.; Henry M. Campbell, Detroit ; Annie W. Ekin, Topeka, Kan.; Alice E. Freeman, Otego, N. Y.; James K. Ilslay, Milwaukee, Wis.; Howard B. Smith, Omaha, Nebraska ; Orlaf Vario, Deoorah, Iowa ; Bryant Walker, Detroit; Willis W. Walker, Fiudlay, Ohio. The method pursued in making the selection was for each professor to vote for ten uames, and the ten seniors getting the highest number of votes are those above. - And now Dr. Angelí has got himself and the University into hot water. He would n't yield to the demanda of one Edward J. Sears, LL. D., editor and pubhsher of the National Quarterly Review, for a $500 advertisement, would n't even cuncede a $300, one, under the warning threat that he would be "held personally responsible for the order," and so the aforesaid Sears has been and gone and done it: has gone through the University, President Angelí, the several professors, and the boys,_not even forgetting to make faces at the girls, and twit them of boing homely, etc. Well, well, the President mus n't be so i fisted : especíally if he would avoid being charged with the bad grammar and ' tious style " exhibited " in the by-laws adopted probably before h was a " fresh " in ' his alma mater. The followiug item is clipped frora the Free Press of the12th inst., and'is probably from its Auu Arbor correspondent : "A letter from Eegent McGowan to President Angelí auDouncea tnat the new investigating committee on the laboratory defalcation wil! bs ready to commence work o the 25th inst. The iuvestigation will probably take the form of a public court of inquiry, and the various witnesses who prssent theinselves will be examined and cross-examiued by the committee. All the varbal testimouy will be taken down by a short-hand reporter. President Angelí will probably be the first witness called for the Douglas side, and will te8tify at length coucerning the manuer of operating the laboratory, etc. Prof. A. B. Prescott and the other assistauts in the chemical laboratory will be also suinmoned by the Douglas side. The rumor that Prof. Rose would refuse to appearbefore the committee is denied by that gentleman. He says that ïf summoned by the comnaittee he will appear befure thom and ascertain what they wish. We decidedly protest agaimt the way the item puts it. Dr. Angelí, Prof. Preacott, or no other witnes should be called " for the Douglas side," or for the Rose side. All parties who know anything about the matter should be called to teil what they know about it, not iu the interest of Douglass or Rose, but ia the interest o ffair-dealing, in the interest of truth, and in the interest of the University. It in not the suit of Douglas vs. Rose which the comraittes is to try, but it is the University against Douglas, Rose, or any othsr men who may have handled laboratory moneys and are responsible for non-accouuting.for them, either through inistake or by design. That is the issue, - and we trust that committee and witnes&es will bear it squarely in mud. Let us hare the truth hit whom it may. In our complete newa summary on the fourth page will be found the brief story of a " shooting match " at St. Louis, Mo., the parties being one W. W. Jilz and a young man named Shane, whose sister Jilz was charged with havmg seduced. This Jilz was some years ago a resident of thie city, and will be remembered by many of our citizans as a clerk of Andrew DeForest. In those days he was houestly pious, or played the "pious dodge," and we believe left nis employer above named becauae he was required to sell liquor (for " pickles "). He married hls first wife here,- whea a mere boy, - got into the affections of and debt to the late Samuel th Sutherland, and "jumped the towm." Since which we have known little oí his carear, except that he is the patentee of the " Jilz Well Auger," so widely advertised, and out of which, when visitiug his old stamping ground, last tall, he claimed to have made half a inillion dollars. Mack & Schmid have without doubt the linest display of Parasols and Sun Umbrellas, in varlety and richness, ever se en in this city, at very low prices.
