The folio-ving startling announcement is nride bj' tlieChronicle: "O wing toduil tinips in the billiard business Rosie has at last been compelled to post pone his wedding again - at least such is the report of dame rumor." Prof. Stanley gave a lecture upon tlie jirigiam to be given by the Boston Symphony, In room 24, Kfonday evenin?, at 5 o'clock, lllustratlnji n portion of it upon the piano. The room was crowded and they werc all well repaitl lor coming. The S. C. A. would like $5,000. Some generous, public spirited citien can inake himself famous and do a good deed besldes, by stepping in and paying for the finishing np of the ïnnpnificent building opposlté University hall. Please don't crowd elbows to mucli gentlemen, on 3'onr way to the front. The lady members of tlte frcslmian ClaS8 were not to any extent invited to the tresbman banquet last Friday evening. The young men either had their lady friends from awny, or invited city girls to attend witli them. One lady in the city ?ave a spread to about thirty lady fresbmen tliat evening. The IudependcMits held a meeting Saturdr.y morning for the piirose of considerlug the advisability of starting a new college paper, to be devoted to the especial interests of Independents alone. A cominittee of one from each of the literary classes and from the law and medical deparlmcnts was appointed to ohtain subBcriptions. The snm of $290.50 was pledgi'd at the meeting. The last Chronicle was a handsome number and retlected credit upoD tlie energetic and wide awake character of the yoiuu; men who are at its lieail. The C'ironlcle never has boen so piosperous us this year, t-itlier In number of subscribers or advertising patronage, and in a Hterary way it stand way at the head of similar college publicatlons, lind them where you may. The little opposillon it has li.nl to contend wltb lias acteU as a spur for advanceinent. The faculty voted on Monda y even ing to suspend the five young men engaged in abdncting Evans, the Freshman toast master for one year, but will hold another meeting next Monday evening to hear any argumunts thut may be made in thelr behalf. In the meantime the Freshmen have unlted in asking a remittance of the sentence, and the Sophomores have agreed that nothing of the kind shall occiir agaln if the sentence is niodilied and tlie boys allowed to reinain. It is proposed to tnake the Symphony Orchestra entertainment Friday evening a swell affair, full dress and all that. Would it not be woll then to let the people reserve their seats? Ludies la full dress will hardly want to go an hour or two ahead of time in order to secure des rabie seata. (In this connectlon allow . us to say that Prof. Stanley says that for one lie should prefer an audiencethat can appreciate gooil muslc, dress snits or no dress snits. lie says it will not be a dress altair and that every lover of muslc will be welcome whatever hisor her :ipparel.) The kidnapping of Frank J. Evans, the freshman toastmaster, from tfie Chi Psi house, last evening by live sophomores and a junior, to keep him away from the freshinau banquet Friday evening, was not well managed. The freshmen got on to it, followed the abductors to Saline, where they were relnforced by a deputy sheriff, and then to Mooreville, where they had their prisoner tied in a bed with lus clothes hid. The deputy sheriff bulldozed the sophs into glvn; op their prisoner and he was brought back In triumph, and presidud at the banquet the hero of the hour. Prof. Stanley closes an extended article upon the IJoston Symphony Concert program for Friday evening at unlversitv balt, In the last Chronicle with this excellcnf pamgraph: 'In ltetening to aprr. gram like thisj in becoming acquainted with such clioice srketions, the literature of that languae which is universal becau=e it expresses those feelings which are common to all in gome degree, but which are too deep for wordt, one must not si'ek to be amvsed, for the mlssion of music i.s uot tn amvte but to elévate. It is to be hoped that this will not be the last appearance of this orchestra in University hall, but let us hope that from thi time forward a Symphony concert will be as necessary a feature of the college year as commecement."
