Grand Meeting Last Night Under Au- spices of Local Members.

M. ‘The committee of arrangement: consisting of Sir Knights S. I. Downs, J. C. Maxwell, W. P. Betts, J. G. Jester and G. W. Callahan, had perfected every arrangement for a most i resting and pleasing evening's enter- tainment. The musical features of the pro- gram consisted of 2 piano solo by Arthur D. Mayo, a song by the Temple Quartet, a song by Mr. W. H. Conly, who also feve some laughable dialect recitations, and selections by the Madrids, A. V. Holmes, B. F. Juq- son, H. E. Galither and A. EF.

Mr. Boynton's speech abounded in wit and humor, and drew a long burst of applause from’ the immense audience. Mrs. Lilian Hollister of the Su- preme Hive made a telling address ot fraternal and soc‘al relations, dwelling espe- cially on the opportunities and advantages to women in membership in the order. FLEMISH WOMEN. They Are Very Tall and Models Great Beauty. A recent traveler in old Flanders says that the Flemish wemen are tall, and that they possess great heauty. Their eyes are usually blue. their hair is like burnished gold, which they wear long like the German gods. The Flemish woman is simple to excess; Tot because she has peor taste in her toilet: on the contrary, a Flemish woman never goes out on a Sunday without a heavy silk dress, with soft frou-frou marking her steps. i The Flemish woman has preserved intact the udmirable naivete of the woman ef the middie ages. She is an ideal mother of a family; she has no amb‘tion, no love for art, for music or for poetry; not a whisper of rebellion against the domination—often Urutality—of her husband, who in her eyes, represents power, and for whom she cher- ishes an admiration which cannot be shaken. Bruges is the only city in Flanders which in our days hes preserved its or inality and where at every step in its de- serted streets one feels the soul of th's marvelous Flanders of the middle ages. Bruges can be proud also of having the most beautiful women. When one takes 2 walk at twilight in those narrow st darkened by heavy facades of the th teenth century, which advance and seem to hend over out from the low doors of the houses, walk timidly Junoesque women, draped ir a large mantle. Upon their heads they wear broad-br:mmed hats with little plaits, which permits one to see only the brusque line of the nose and the thick- ness of prcud lips. The Fiemish woman ts profoundly relig- ious. For her God is not a tyrant, who, in order that He may forgive, wishes to be flattered, and to see one humiliated before Him. Her God is sweet. She thinks that one must love Him with human love, as one loves a gentle child, and that one must put tender words into prayer. When one sees them kneelirg in the shadows of old churches they give an impression of many beautiful statues, grouped there by the hands of a marvelous artist. Alas! the true Flemish wcman will soon disappear. “Civilization” will end by penetrating and soiling this little corner of Belgium, which until now remained rebellious to all Latin- ization. Civilization is like a bad architect =the last one puts a modern window in Gothic facade, and the first one grafts a German upon a Latin; so we will end by forming a unique race, a race without a name, without or'gin and without end—the race of cosmopolitans. soe. A NARROW ESCAPE. A Moment of Peril When Financial Ruin Threatened Him. From Chicago To Date. Out under the star-gemmed heavens Daphne McCarty and Bertie Cecil were sit- ting in the frosty* moonlight, sitting side by side upon a rustic bench beneath the spreading branches of an oak that had braved the storms of centuries, while the silvered pencilings of starlight, dancing among the Icy branches that waved weird- ly above them, gave to the scene a touch of fairy beauty which was like enchant- ment. “Did you speak, darling?” asked Bertie, bending toward the g'rl and gazing at her with eyes whose glances told more elo- quently than words of the great love he bere her. But back of the tender look, back of the love-laden tones, there was a havuting fear, a ghastly horror, which all the marvelous splendor of the place could not dispel. “Did,you spedk, sweetheart?” asked Ber- tle again. “TI—I was going to say,” began Daphne, in low tones that bespoke the intensity of her feelings, “that if you could assist—as- sist me = ljttle; my bloomers ure fast on a knot and I—I cannot reach it!” Bertie gazed at her a moment in a dazed way. then rose tremblingly. “I—I will go for assistance,” he faltered, and moved away through the tender evening hush. As he looked up to the creamy splendor of the Milky Way there was peace in his pure young face, a look almost of holy joy. “Heaven has headed her off,” he said, softly. “She was just on the point of suggesting that we go to the restaurant for more oysters. I saw it in her eyes. She has eaten two dishes this evening, and I haven’t but ten cents left! Surely the angels watch dver us!" And a great throb of gratitude welled up te heaven from his swelling heart. ——_+o2+____ The Reason. From Truth.

From the Chicago Inteflor. “The man who ggid ‘’tis the unexpected that always happens’ was a preacher, I’ll guarantee,” saidca clerical member of the Lunch Club. “At‘imy time of life I ought not to be stunned by anything, but after service a good woman of my flock did man- age to take my breath aay. I was preach- ing about the Father®™ tender wisdom in caring for us all, I illustrated by saying that the Father knows which of us grow best in sunlight and which of us must have shade. ‘You knew you plant roses in the sunshine,’ I said, ‘and heliotrope and geraniums, but if you want your fuch- sigs to grow you must keep them in a shady nook.’ After the sermon, which I hoped would be a comforting one, a woman came up to me, her face glowing with a pleasure that was evHently deep and true. ‘Oh, Doc- tor » Lam so grateful for that sermon,’ she said, clasping my hand and shaking It Warmly. My heart glowed for a moment, while I wondered what tender place in her heart and lMfe I had touched. Only for a moment, though. ‘Yes,’ she went on, fer- vently, ‘I never knew before what was the matter with my fuchsias.’ ” Unusual Interest in Side Organisations This Year. A Strong School Spirit Developed by Clabs, Societies, Drills, Etec. Matters of school interest have been more entkusiastically undertaken by the high schools this year than for some time pre- vious. Either a sccial, dramatic, musical, pieastre or I terary club has been formed almost weekly at one of the five schools, and all interschool affairs have been looked after with patriotic loyalty. In the autumn foot ball occupied the at- tention of all of the schoois, and the laurels were won again for another year by the Central tcam. Had the cold weather brought enough ice with it hockey teams from the different schools would have un- doubtedly competed, but this was not the case. Each military company is now work- ing hard for supremacy in competitive drill. ‘The next move was the preparation for an interscholastic field day. The last contest was a chess tournament between the Cen- tral and Hastern, which was won by the latter, and now plans for an inter-high school debate are being agitated by the Eastern school. Cadet News. All of the companies are now har at work on the progrem for the competitive drill, and each officer is endeavoring to at- tain for his compat y gt Icast as high a de- gree of perfection as that which won the Grill for company H last May. The long and exciting contest of four months trying to perfect the movements in the program ia now about half over, and judging from the abilities of the commanding officers and the new features introduced this year, the com- petition of “06 promises to be the most in- teresting ever held. The regiment will very probably go to the arsenal May 11 to prac- tice firing with blank cartridges, and as this day will be lost as a drill day, there are but fourteen more remaining. Maj. B. R. Ross will soon convene a school of officers, when he will arswer any questions or give any points concerning the dritl that they may ask. Some of the offi- cers do not favor having platoon’ move- ments, because of the small size of some of the compantes, and it is probable that they will petit’on to have these movemenis military authorities showed their foresight by forming only one company at the Busiacss when there were cadets enough for two at the beginning of the year, as there are only a couple of files over four full fours at present. Neither battal- jon has a sergeant major now, as Olcott, al the Central, has been excused, upon appli- cation for discharge, for the rest of the year, and the position is already vacant at the Eastern. ‘The military Instructors of the cadets are assigned at the different schools as foliows for next week: Col. Julius Sommer, Eastern; Maj. B. R. Ross, Business; Lieut. Col. Harry Auer, Central, and Maj. J. Theodore Gratt at the Western Monday, and Maj. B. R. Ross, Central; Maj. J. Theodore Graff, Eastern; Lieut. Col, Auer, Business, and Col. Jullus Sommer for the Western Thurs- day. Western School Affairs. The Western, the official organ of the ol, appeared for the eleventh time this this year last week, under the charge of Miss Annie Maynard Kidder, who fs now ed- itor-in-chief. This chagge was due to the sf ion of Mr. Robert Leetch. Mr. Alex- ander, one of the associate editors, has also resigned. There have been several schemes on fovt lately to add to the interest of the Western. One of these is for four mem- bers of the senior class to write a serial story, each to contribute a chapter. The student who sells the greatest num- ber of copies of the Easter number of the Western will be presented with a beauti- fully illustrated morocco bound copy of Shakespeare's Heroes and Heroines. The members of the Western High School Bicycle Club held a meeting Wednesday last and organized with the following mem- bers: Misses E. C. Wescott, principal of the D. school; Town, teacher of English; G. Macnul teacher of Latin and algebra; Smart, Blackford and Edna Wescott, and Messrs. Morris, a member of the faculty; Craig, Cartwright, Birch, Hampson, Wilson, Wright, Dunwoody and Smith. The following officers were elected: Mr. Morris, president, and Miss Blackford, treasurer. Another bicycle club was also recently formed to be known as the Outing Bicycle Club,composed-of male members only. This club intends to take a trip to Baltimore Friday, the 10ih of, April. They took their first run Wednesday afternoon. The following claim membership to the club: J. V. Birch, captain; H. Walters, lieutenant; O. Mechlin, P. B. Lamberton, A. Wright, manager ‘artwright, J. Hampson, J. Wilson, A. Craig, H. Scudder, A. Birch, Smith, S. Darby, O. Manokee, T. Holcome and ©. Baily. These two clubs were easily organized out of the forty or fifty bicyclists at the school. Another new organization at this school is one known as the Western High School Camera Club, with the following member- ship: Misses M. Robinson, H. J. Buckle, G. Macnulty and D. Town, all members of the faculty; Constance Adee, Edna Wescott, Fenton and Charles, and Messrs. Alfred Wright, Harry Walters, Clifton Smith, B. Paul Lamberton, Harold Scudder, Sterne, Lawrence Janey, Henry Mitchell, Klein- schmidt, Edward Duckett, Robert Leetch, James M. Petty and Hartwell McCartney. The officers to this club are Messr: Wright, president; McCartney, vice presi- Gent; Mitchell, secretary, and Lamberton, treasurer. Five finished photographs taken Fersonatly by each member are to be hand- ed in, and wil] probably adorn the wall of the p! ical laboratory, which is now being used for a club room. The Kamptown Soshul Klub has reorgan- ized, with the foliowing officers: Robert Leetch, president; L. Reese Alexander, vice president; A. Edgar Berry, treasurer, and Edward A. Duckett, secretary. Eastern Happenings. Prof. Marcus Baker of the United States geological survey addressed all of the classes on “Alaska’s Boundary” during the last period of school a week ago Thursday, giv- ing u brief history of the land, detailing the Giscoveries, explorations and voyages of Bering, Cooke and Vancouver. He illus- trated his lecture with numerous maps. He traced the matter to the present time, and told of the cause and ccndition of the pres- ent international controversies. explorations and voyages of Bering. Cooke and Vancoucer. He illustrated his lectu with numerous maps. He traced the mat- ter to the present time, and told of the cause and condition of the present international controversies Nothing has been done in the way of ath- letics as yet, but in another week it is ex- pected that some apparatus will be pu! chased out of the Athletic Association fund, which amounts to about $0 at present, and practice will be started under the direction of Mr. Wilson, a member of the faculty, who took so much interest in the foot ball teams. ‘The third and fourth year classes have been invited by the National Geographic So- ciety to attend the Monday afternoon course of lectures on “A Trip to Alaska.” The last meeting of the “Fourth Year Club” was held at the home of Miss Deis. The club will probably meet only once again this year, toward the end of the term. —— THE HEATHEN CHINEE, He Knows All About Trade Discounts and How to Pocket Them. From the San Francisco Post. “When Bret Harte wrote ‘For ways that are dark and tricks that are vain, the heathen Chinee is peculiar,’ te knew what he was talking about,” remarked a resident of Pacific Heights yesterday. “For months I have been wondering at the size of my grocer’s bills, and finally I became convinced that there was something wrong. “The matter bothered me so that I finally gave it up in disgust and employed a detec- tive to look it'up for me. He found that the grocer was paying my Chinese cook a com- mizsion on everything he ordered, and the cook was ordering everything that I could pay for. What we couldn't use he carried down into Chinatown, and used to stock a small grocery, operated by his ‘cousin.’ “I have since learned that nearly every Crinese cook in the town demands a com- te ion from the butcher, baker, grocer, etc.” BE GROWING, INSTEAD OF LESSENING.
