Southerners in Purdue University in Rebellion Against Appearance of Negro as Lecturer in Course. Lafayette, Oct 9. (Special) Two hundred students at Purdue university are in open rebellion against the proposed coming of Booker T. Washington to lecture in the univer sity lecture course. They demand that the invitation be recalled.

The actions of these students is rather hard and humiliating to the great wizard of Tuskegee. Perhaps thoy are apprehensive, that if he were permitted to address them, he might induce the faculty of Purdue Univer sity to transform it into a school like Tuskegee and compel its students to milk cows and feed hogs three days in the week.

(Concluded from page 1) acterlstlcs and natural tendene'es In our people which make Just as beautiful studies for the stage a any to be found in the make up of any ether race, and perhaps far more. By care fully studying our own graces we learn to appreciate the noble an tfic beautiful In ourselves Just as ether people have discovered the graces beauty In themselves from siudjlng and acting that which is noble In them. Unless we learn the lesson of self appreciation and pract'ee It we shall spend our lives iml ntint other people and depreciating ourselves. There Is nothing equal to originality and I think much time is lost in try ing to do something that has been done and "over done" much better than you will be able to do it.

Morality on the Stage. I do not wish to moralize, I on': wish to say a few comrnonKease words In closing this arti.le. I am aware of the fact that many well meaning people dislike stage life, especially our women. On this pop' I would say, a woman does no 1 se her dignity today as used to the case when she enters upen stage life. In proclaiming stage life as a profession, it Is not the profession you chose, which be emphasized; it is the purpose with which you make the choice.

If a girl Is gay and easily dazzled by the brilliant side of li on the stage or off, then I should say to that girl; "choose some other line of work, look to some other prof ssi for the stage Is certainly no place you." But if she be a girl of good thoughts and habits and she chooses the stage for the love of the profession and professional work; then I should say to her "Come, for we need so many earnest workers In this field, and bv hard work. I am sure the future will repay us all." One of the greatest needs of the times Is a good school In which co-ored actors and actresses may be properly trained for good acting. With such an institution we could make a great record in the artistic world. Of course It takes time to do anything worth the doing tind especially to carry out great alms and accomplish good work, but when something has been accomplished we consIJer the time well spent, and so we must go on working in our profession, with the hopes that the future will bring us more encouragement and better success and less criticism; not that we cannot stand criticism, for we can but for the reason that our work a great work and ought to be encouraged In these days when it needs help and encouragement lOur stage work is grand and our lives can be made beautiful; Just think! Night after night, we entertain people and make them laugh and be happy and forget all the troubles and sorrows which occupy thel-thoughts during the day. I am sure It is a pleasure to live and work and give pleasure to others as well as to receive pleasure ourselves.

When we look- at the stage from this standpoint, we see it means something to ourselves and to others. It is rather easy to stand the harsh things some people may say about us when we can feel that besides doing good for ourselves and our race, we are using the gifts that God has given us, for a good purpose. With this view before us, we are bound to succeed. My final word Is to the men. You have your duties to perform on and off the stage, and to women as well as to yourselves.

Remember this fact; good men help women to be good and remember also, that in helping women you are really helping yourselves. Wo must work together for the uplifting of all and for the progress of all that is good and noble in life. THE EUREKA CLUB BALL AT CEN-TRAL HALL.

MASSES' IN THE LATE WAR. Ihe Invading Hosts of Manchuria Outnumbered the Armies of All Times. The great feature of the war has been the huge masses engaged. Leipzig Itself In this respect compares poorly with Mukden, says the Saturday Review. The host of 1812 were not so numerous as those that invaded Manchuria, and Borodino may outrival Liaoyangln horrors, but not in numbers of guns or men that fought Yet it Is surely remarkable that after an unbroken record of defeat on such a huge scale the Russians still can show an army fully equipped and organized in position.

Llaoyang and Mukden were truly enough to break the spirit and dissolve the ranks of the stoutest troops in the world. In spite or the list of killed and wounded, of the prisoners, or the guns and trophies the war could still have been carried on. Yet Marengo, a mere skirmish In comparison to these batttles or giants, decided the fate of a nation. Jena laid a kingdom in the dust. Even Friedland compelled a czar to come to terms.

What is It that made Mukden Indecisive and could allow the czar still to dream or victory when ror a year and a half not a gleam of success had shone for a moment on bis bayonets? The ter-rane in which the battles were fought had, of course, much to do with it. but tlie very vastness of the armies had more. An army of several hundreds ot thousands cannot be moved like one of a third the size. The telegraph may do much, but it cannot annihilate space where movements of men are concerned, and to pursue a beaten foe requires prompt action and energy, which arc only possible where events take place under the eye and within the direct lop of a supreme leader. COST OF CEMETERY VAULTS Those Cheaply Built Are Sure to Bt- Leaky and Generally Unsatisfactory.

The vault was the size of the usual cemetery vault one small room, roofed, floored and walled with granite, an ordinary vault and yet the undertaker Bald It had cost $25,000 relates the New York Herald. "But there Is no carving on It" objected the man who thbught or buying i. lot "It is as plain as a pipe stem, and all the stone it contains could be bought for 110.000 or less." "True, true," said the undertaker And be pointed to another vault that might have been the first one's twin. That only cost $15,000." he said. "A javlng of $10,000.

but the broker who bought It got abominably stuck. "The cheap vault, you see. was built is a house is. by an architect and an ordinary builder. It looks good.

It will last for centuries. But. by Jove! It leaks like a sieve. After every storm It is flooded and two of the cemetery ittendants have to charge Tip a day's Imc against the owner for cleaning It 3Ut "Vault building is a profession in itself. To make for a vault a waterproof roof or enormous granite slabs is an art that only the vault builder understands.

When the ordinary builder, no matter how proficient he may be. undertakes this task he rails lamentably. The vault leaks. Arter avery storm its floor Is flooded. "Thererore.

Big Guns Used on New Gunboats to Teat Their Fitness for Service. An Interesting test took place "at the naval proving ground at Indian Head the other day In contlntinttnn of the series of experiments begun last warcn to determine the resisting power of the Tennessee class of armored cruisers under the attack of projectiles loaded with various kinds of explosives.

The six and elehMnnh guns were used In the 'test, the strik ing velocity of the projectiles being those corresponding to ranges from 3,000 to 6,000 yards. The target was a structure built Jn exact Imitation of the side of the Tennessee, with all decks, bulkheads, etc complete. The results were on the whole extremely satisfactory as regards the design of the ship. The damage done by the bursting shells was localized within the compartment where the explosion took place, and while the damage to both personnel and material within the compartment would undoubtedly have been very great, the ship as a whole would have been intact at the close or the flrlng. Ab a final test a 12-Inch shell was exploded within a closed- compart-meat Jast above the armored deck.

The local effact of that was considerable, but the armored deck vm nnf penetrated. The teat was wltaessed by a num-her of oficers of the navy and the amy, iacludiag' the chiefs of the aval bureau of ordnance and equlp-aaeat, the "actlsg chief of Durean of coaatractioa aa4 repair aai the act-lag chiefs of ordaance aad artillery the amy. MISUSE OF THE TELEPHONE Small Outrages That Arat Committed by Wire Every Day. Again are we moved to express savage animosity against the exemplars of brutal selnshness who, wnen thoy wish to "get" somebody on the telephone, have an underling call that somebody from that somebody's business, only to tell him to "wait a moment" while the man who wants to talk takes his time in going to the transmitter. This, declares the New York Times, Is one of the most abominable of small outrages, and yet it is committed thousand and thousands of times a day in this city alone, and how often the thing happens in the whole country nobody could count Yet we never heard even a single defense of the practice never knew of a man who did not foam with rage when him-ieir the victim or it.

The telephone necessarily, or at least habitually, gives 30 many and such extraordinary privileges In the way of securing attention that those who want and obtain if often from men Into whose offices they would have great difficulty in gaining access In person, might at least have the common decency to make the trouble they cause as small as possible and to use up no needless amount of the other man's time. Probably the only way to cure this evil is to refuse to Inllr fr nnvhnrtv for whose convenience I Ihe insolent request to "wait a moment" has been made. That might interfere with business somewhat for I awhile, but the lesson would soon be learned, and after that the telephone 'would be freed from what Is unquestionably the most irritating conse quence of Its invention. MILLIONS IN CITY HALLS. By Far the Most Costly Building Is That of the Municipality of Philadelphia.

The recent awarding of plans for a I new courthouse and county building (for Chicago recalls the fact that an Immense sum is invested in public buildings by municipalities in the United States. The 175 chier cities or America have $100,000,000 Invested In city halls. Philadelphia leads with a $27,060,000 city hall and San Francisco follows with one worth $8,300,000. After these cities come Boston, with a dry hall representing New York, with one standing ror $7 000.000. and Baltimore with a structure and grounds.

The value In each case Is based UDon the ruliio nt tho r-Itv finll Itcplf nnrt th park or grounds surrounding it Every American city ot over population has at least a $1,000,000 city hall, with the exception of New Orleans. St Louis. Cincinnati and Detroit have buildings worth more than $2,000,000 each. Chicago falls $250,000 below that figure. Pittsburg and Milwaukee follow.

Among minor American cities which have elaborate city halls are Richmond, Minneapolis and Providence. Indianapolis, which has a stately statehouse. has an inferior city hall. Toledo and Atlanta have small municipal buildings. The Denver clty hall Is valued at that of East St.

Louis, a place of much less importance, has one that cost $425,000. Houston. has a $550,000 city hall and MemphU one costinc only $35,000. BREATHING WELL SECRET. Sounds Found to Be Due to Atmospheric Pressure or Changes in Temperature.

The United Slates Geological Survey has on hand the investigation of curious phenomena known as "blowing" or "breathing" wells. In the course of collecting well records, the hydrolo-glsts or the survey have observed many wells that emit currents or air with more or less rorce, sometimes accompanied by a- whistling sound which can be heard for a long distance. The best known examples of this type of well are found throughout the state or Nebraska. Blowing wells are also known to occur in Rapides Parish, in southern Louisiana. The force of the air currents in one of the southern Louisiana wells Is sufficient to keep a man's hat suspended above it The cause of such phenomena is mainly due to changes In atmospheric' pressure or to changes in temperature.

I During the progress or a low barome-' ter storm over these regions, the air is expelled from the blowing wells. With a rising barometer the blowing becomes rapidly less until the current is finally reversed. I Differences in the temperature of the surface air and the air In the soil also produce similar effects. When the In- teratlces between the grains of gravel, in which the well la driven are filled wlth-water, the phenomena of blowing Is much less noticeable. The Woman in Black.

Chloafo 8uu WAND EXERCISE FOR CHILD Directions for the Proper Employment of This Idght-Welght Apparatus Do Not Continue Long. The wand is a safe and satisractory form of apparatus for the little people.

If you are giving the little daughter or her brother nome lessons In physical culture, provide them with wands and see how much their lagging Interest will revive. Any apparatus awakens interest, and unless the Interest ca'n be kept up the work Is practically useless. The wand gives grace and strength, and It Is always a favorite with children. To begin with. It Is understood that the children have an erect position and carriage throughout First.

Let the wand be held horizontally in front as low as the arms will reach with the body erect Now GOOD FOR THE SHOULDERS. raise it. keeping the arms out straight during the swing, until It is on a level with the shoulders. Return, raise-count "one, two" for this. Second.

Raise the wand to the shoulder level, then extend the right arm straight out to the right, letting the wand follow it while held horizontal, the wand resting between rignt thumb and fingers. The left arm follows until its hand is against the chest Lower to first position, raise, lower, and so on. Then raise to the left, lower, raise. Finally, give the exercise alternately in this way: Position, raise to right, lflwer; raise to left lower and so on. This is known as aiming to right and left.

Third. Raise the wand until it rer against the chest. The elbows will naturally bend themselves to suit the need. The wand should be raised near ly to the throat. Now teach some simple foot and leg exercise to be combined with these three motions.

to that the circulation of the whole body may be stirred at once. Rising on the toes can be com blned beneiicially with any or them Pointing the toes, first right, then left can be used this means placing the toe forward and holding the heels high while the toe barely touches the floor This, on account of the and left movement, accompanies thr second well. Th foot is returned to place when the wand is lowered. Fourth. Wand in position, which means down, in front and horizontal Bend the trunk to the right as far as it will go.

letting ihe waist do all tin bending. Bend to left. Alternate in rather slow counts. Firth. Raisp the wand high above the head until the arms are stretched vertically to theutmost.

Lower to position. Raise. Continue. Sixth. Raise the wand from position to a level with the shoulders, holding It at arm's length in front.

Rise on toes, lower heels to floor, rise, and so on. all the time holding the wand in the same position, ihe arms will tire soon; do not keep up the work after weariness shows its first symptom. In all the work watch careiully ror this Children fatigue very readily in one motion, although they can keep up the exercise for some time If it Is continually shifted from one part of the body to another. Thus arter an exercise which throws the chier strain upon the legs, let the leg muscles rest awhile and make the arms work vigorously At the Autumn Wedding. Empire styles will be a popular note for the fall wedding, as more than one bridal gown Is planned in short wraist-ed effect, and it is a particularly picturesque style for the brldemaids or maid of honor of the tail and slender type.

It also gles a pretty chance to substitute the little Juliet cap for the hat at an evening wedding. This Is a little three-cornered contrivance which fits in between the front and back of the hair and reaches from ear to ear. They are seen at many evening weddings, and are especially pretty with the Juliet style of gown. They may be made or wired lace or silver cords sewed to tiny wires, or of Roman pearl beads strung In the same way, and are so simple that they can easily be homemade, although being as yet an Imported novelty they are expensive to buy. At one wedding the maids wore long Italian gowns of soft cream satin, with square neck and high puffed sleeves, and wore with them these little caps made in silver lace.

Fat Shoulder-Blades. It is difficult to reduce fat shoulder blades. You might try a system of physical culture. Lift your shoulders as high as you can. Wag them two or three times, work the shoulder in Its sockets and lower them.

This if done 16 minutes a. day may Tednce your fat shoulders. It is a system being-tried by a physical culture club of London. Oiay VeUaV Pale gray vails have become iangafr-lyyeyUar. Jj (1 V-i..
