Ntrthing but good words are heard lor Mrs. Truieblood's dramatization of Helen Hunt Jaekson's Ramona. Halloween passed off without any unusual noise or pranks of any kind. Perhaps the rain had a depressing effect on the boys. Saturday the Xorthwcíitern üniverslty won a game of foot ball from the U. of M. ete%-n by a score of 10 to 8. This makes three out of five games lost by our boys. All the democratie gtudents from doiubtful states will go home to vote. It is said that the national committee pay their fares.

Dr. Dalmey, president of the Uniersity oí TeanieBSöO at Knoxville, was a visitar at Aun Arbor for a couple of da.ys last week. Tliere are severa! students in the University from nis institution, and he called upon them. The musical recital given last Saturday under the auspices of the University School of Music was greatly praised, and a euccess in every way. Trofs. Stanley and Mills rendered Belections that were eminently satisfactory to the auidience. The P. G. laws have elected officers for the ensuing year, as follows: G. A. Eberley, pi-sidenit; G. A.

The Choral Umion has voted 140 to 14 in favor of going to Chicago next spring, and giving the people of the World' Fair on opportunity to listen to fsoane excellent singing. But whether they will go or not depend. If the Musical Festival occurs during examination week they will have to forego the anticipated pleasure. The Adrián Press h&iB to have it's say, of course: "ThO new homoeopiathic hospital at Amn Arbor, is rejxwted one of the finest in the country. It will do much t-o lighten the gloom of the grave, for a patiënt whose case is tfótúlbtíuí, to feel that shauld he give up the ghost durlng the operatioin, hiis lifc will go out in the elickiest and nioet 'katosh' hospital in the state" Uuder the hoad oï "Au. Intollerable Nuisaoce" the U. of M. Daily has this to say: Precedent of standing may be worth following, but we bellere that in the matter of reservlng seate tor the Lecture AsBOciation, ui exceptlon to the rule is evident. We can see do chango for the better this yewr. We liad hoped some improvement woultl be made, but the experlence oí Batnrdtay proves coneluaively that the mere changing of the time lol opening the boarais, from early moriring to the miiliUr of the day, is no improvement. For seven wearjr hours béSore the Urne et for the opening of the boards, studente, by means oí "relfiys, stood ín line anxiously aw&itlng tlie hour appointed. & there no remdy lor this intollerable nuisance, and expensive waste of time? Echo answera, "Rerhape, in time." The sentiment of this eommunity Is ripe for n change, and has been for rnany a long, veary year. But what change does the U. of M. Daily suggest? We regret that the students' leoture coiirse at the University has among the lecturere that areh-infidel Itobert Ingersoll. It is not Ingersoll the orator, or lawyer, of ivhom we speak. but the eoarse and blatant infidel. There are hundreds of Christian parent-s in .Michig-an ivlio will balance ag-ainst the acknowledged educational advantages of our University, the fear that .the place which calis such men a.s Ingersoll a a lecturer before the stai3jents is not the place of religious safety for their sons and daughters. - Dexter Iealer. The Leader should re.member that Mr. Ingersoll .was not brouglit here to give religious or irreligious inutmctiion to the studients or to any lody else. Had that leen so, then there might .porssibly be something to groan albout. The above expression is as unreasonable as it would be to exclude wiae from the communlon table ■becfloise wine makes euch fjends of people when they use it to excess. Ingersoll .is brilliant and brainy and can lift up tlie minds of hls liearers to purer paths on a high plane of thonght. Hi audience absorbed the virtues of the man, and hts peculiar non-religious views were not intnided upan. them. FALI, FIELD DAY. Satuirday was the annual fall field d!ay Por the U. of M., a.nd it was not what might be termed a very pleasant iay. There was a strong wind with flurries of snow and hall. The crowd at the gronndS' was small and the numTber af contestants not up to last year. The raw atmosphere probably had something to do about it. The evento and winners thereof were ás fo'llows. One hundred yards dash- first heat won by Keuson, time 10:45; second heat won by Wilson in 10:3-5; final heat won by Kenson in 10:3-, Chapman second. Mile run- Krogman won in 5:34'. Smith second. Throwiug hammer- White won with a throw of 80 feet, Austin second, 49 ft. 4 in. One mile bicycle, all safeties- It waa a poor start, Gaus won in 3 :26, Bennett second. Standing high jump- Martin, first, 4 ft. 5 in., Quarels second. 440 yard run- Watts won in 1:15 3-5, finisned at a walk, Pratt second. Putting shot- White '29 feet 9 inches, Harding second. 220 yard dash - Kenson won in 23 seconds, which is good college time; Chapman was second. Running high jump- Austin and Martin tied at 5 feet.

Good prizes were eiven by the athletic association. President JDabney, of the University of Tennessee, was on the field investigating Michigan university methods. INGERSOLL AT UNIVERSITY HALL. Ingersoll is a magnificent artist. With words for his brush, thoughts and ideas for his colors, and an audience for a canvass, he can paint as no other artist to-daiy in America or Europe, efther. His clear cut sentences follow each other in such rapid succession that pime Ivas to keep his mind in the keenest trim to keep pace with him. The audüence at University hall last Monday ervening, to greet him, was a large ene. It oMght to have been an inspiration even for Ingersoll. But it didn't seem to be. He wten't thrckugh his task and it appeai-ed like a distastpful task, iu a perfu.nctory, meohanical wtcy. He is etther ageltíg or kvt uring, like Talmasye, on hifi reputation. The old fire was not there. Ho read liis ptece, which made it lose half lts foree. He was evldeatl'y not in good health. He liad a severa cold, and ia order to continue nis lecture, was abüged to resort to troches of some i-ort to keep lii.s throat in a '"speakable" co'ndition. The audience ivas disappointed. Ln.ííersioll, the brilliajit orator of whom tliey had heard and read, was aioit there. But Ingersall, the brilliant thinker, n.nd womderful word artist could not e sileiïced even by a cold, and he .st'Cvod on the state for two hours and gave Sliakespeare's memory the ■benefit of nis wontlerful word picturiii P'overs. Thls is meri-ly a .suirsestiora, of fourse, but if Mr. Ins'ersoll would .stand dtrectly facincr his audience, and noit turn and tolk almost conistantly to the portion thereof upon Jiis right, he would please a jíreat many people wlio pay their money to hpnr him. There was not a word of his lecturO to which any person, however orthodox, cauld take exception. And the people who were so tianid in reference to hi.s non-reliinous views, would not have suffered the least shock to their feelinsrs had they heard the entire. lecture. Inifïersioll the infidel, was not there, either.
