One peeuli- arity of the Nebraska university is that the athletic is slightly subordinate to the military spirit. Possibly this s accounted for by the fact that a state capital is headquarters of a military board, and possibly by the predem- inant martial influence of State Inspector Major Fechet and Liewtenant John J. Per- #hing, commandant of the University Cadets, or company B. At eny rate, company B bas for a week thrown everything wide open and closed the term fn a blaze of glory. On the Monday night following their competitive drili of Saturday the company received their prizes on the campus, and proceeded to take in the town en masse. Preceded by the University Cadet band they marched all over the city, serenaded the various hotels, called for specches from local crators, and wound up with a raid on the studio of John Currie, who is just now “‘sculping ham Lincoln, heroic size, to adorn the government postoffice. But the performances of Wednesday night last capped the climax for unconventional oddity. It was a parade en robe de nuit The “cold truth is that a few weeks siuce the cadets appeared on parade In new an glittering white duck trousers. They looked real “cute’ and West Pointish, and they treated the town to an exhibition that excited remark from people to whom the everyday affairs of life had become dry and which is destined square near the the best of everythiug came out strong and they resolved to put them to further use. THE FUN ONLY COMMENCES. On Wednesday night the entire company donned the high water pantaloons, ecch his individual night robe, and covering their fatigue caps with white handkerchiefs they paraded Lincoln until midnight. Mardl Gras at New Orleans, the Veilad Prophets of St. Louls or the Carnival of itame have scarcely presented a more unique appear- ance than did company B marching in ghostly platoons through Lincoln's ave- nwues. They .nvaded nearly every street fr the city; they swarmed 1in the capitol grounds, They limbered up the big bremze cammon that glowers threateningly under the porteullis of the governor's office and hauled ft triumphantly through the streats. The bléw tin horns, smoked: cigars and inter. mittently voiced the college yell. But there was mo vowdyism, mo drunkenness. They jollled the police oficer- on his heat they uttered 1o offnsive words wnder the windows of residences or said aught fo shock the most fastidious on the sidewalk True, it was all horse play, but it was done in & ‘sentlemanly manver. As Tllustrative of the differance’ betwee: cultured skylarking and hoodlusaism, | the following story s apropos: A few weeks since a party of young toughs caught a va- grant cat. Of course ita doom was sealed the instant they laid hands en it. How to send it out of the world In the most atis- factory manner to the young tougas was the only question to be solved. I'inally the governor's cannon was sugges:ad. They got several pounds of powder and under cover of darkness stole into the capitol grounds and up to the cannon, which they leaded and deposited the live cat on top of the powder for a wad.

A wisae Ing sight on Tuesflay evening last was a bieycle parade, riders of both sexes being completely disguised in long white robes. There were nearly 200 of them in line, and as they nolselessly drifted through the dark, descrted streets, & rhapsodical pedestrian was seen to halt and heard to mutter: DI squeaye The sheeted dead d :fi::;l‘:k and gibber in the streets of That the young women students of the are loyal partisans of their more .lnk\‘nl- letic compatriots, the men, is not to be won- dered at. The line of demarcation between the outdoor sports of girls and boys is daily growlng less distinct in the Nebraska State university. The whi 1 tennis have both done much to produce such a result. And if the new woman ghould conclude to endorse base and foot hall there is no telling what may eventuate in the vielnity of the cassic shades of Lincoln. That the girl and boy students are all becoming greater comrades in the healthier sense 4s a truth that cannot be galnsaid. Consequently their sympathies are more closely allied and ccntered on com- mon objects. Who shall say that the refining influence of “sister’ element in state univer- sities does mot tend to w softening of the Towdy element inherent in all large com- panies of men? THE CHANCELLOR LEAVES. Chancellor James H. Canfield is goi away. It is this fact that lends to the pres: ent closing university year an unusual som- berness.

Already his wife 18 in Columbus, the seat af the State umiversity of ‘Ohlo, whither the chancellor will woon follow ther, to enter upon his Guties at the head of that ‘institution. The address of the reliring head of the executive depart- ment was brief, but earnest in its tesimonial of appreeinion cf the conduct and loyalty of the students. The chanestlor could not name his successor, but he expresesd a wish that he might, fortunately, receive the same con sideration ®nd support that had been s freely given himself in the past.

Paul Ret- tenmeyer, 0. 8. B., who officiated as locum tenens during the absence of the rector, Very. Rev. Joseph Ruesing, in Burope last summer. The deceased clergyman during s residence in West Point endeared him- It greatly to the parishioners of St. Mary's, as also to the citizens at large. He was a member of the Order of St. Bene- diot and a man of heroic mold, a worthy follower of his patron. Some years ago, on a missionary voyage to the Bahama islands, he was shipwrecked and suffered incredible hardships, which doubtless sowed the seeds of the disease to which he succumbed. He was born in 1868 in the duchy of Wurtem- burg, 4n Germany, and died at the monas tery in Arlington, Minn. Ord Nows Notes.

CITY OF MEXICO, June 2.—John M. Thornton, the railroad comtractor, one of the survivors of the Colima wreck, gives the following account of the disaster and the rescue “After leaving the harbor of Manzanillo on Sunday afternoon we encountered a heavy sea and head winds, which continued all night. The passengers, of whom there were thirty-six, including children and servants, first class, and about elghty second class, were kept inside. During the night the steamer continued on her course, with ouly speed enough to give her steerage way. Shortly after daylight on the morning of the 27th I was awake. The mountains at the entrance of the harbor of Manzanillo were stitl in sight. About 10 next morning the storm reached its height and the wind was blowing a gale and the waves were running mountain high. About this time the ship seemed to be in the one after trough of the sea, the waves, another, striking her on the port side and keeling her over to starboard. Hvery time she listed she seemed to rock less and less. 1 had a stateroom on the main deck well aft and on the port side, opening on the deck, and my sister-in-law had one forward opening into an interior passageway. The room between connected with Mrs. Thorn- ton's and also opened on the deck and was occupied by Mrs. Thornton’s maid “At about 11 o'clock the storm seemed at its worst and the ship was lying over to starboard and I left the deck and stood talking to Mrs. Thornton. The deck seemed to have an inclination of about forty-five de- grees and every wave washed over the deck, flooding the staterooms to a depth of two or three inches. A heavy sea broke over the ship's bow, crushing through the main saloon and starboard cabin, and wrecking them as though they were made of cigar boxes. I then, with some difficulty, opened the door above me, for the ship was now Iying nearly on her side, anu climbed out on deck. As soon as I was outside 1 forced the window of my sister-in-law's room and found her and her maid together with life preservers on. SHIP SANK UNDER HIM. “I told her to give me her hand and T would help her out, but before T could touch her a great wave struck the ship. A huge wave dashed over me and I noticed four or five men on the upper deck above me, but when 1 coul again look, perhaps ten se onds later, not a soul was in sight, and then everything ‘inder me appeared to melt away and 1’ suppose that was when the ship went down.’ What I remember next was that T was going down until I thought I would never dtop. When I came to the surface throlfgh’ the wreckage and lumber 1 was by myelf Within fifteen or twenty feet of a life rafy ¥ith two on it. 1 got close enough to reach’ g rope they threw me and then' they puled me aboard, Then ‘we helped aboapd “a; Spanfard and a woman and within ;minyite more there were seven on the raft. ' (Within fifty or sixty feet of us another Jife raft with eight persons, among whom,,I noticed Isaac Chilberg, and close to us was @,life boat full of water and with two men, and two women clinging to it. Our raft iyrped over four times. The first time tho, we lost, but generally the men ma on it again. The fourth time the. raft. turned over I was thrown thirty. er forty feet away and could not get to it again, but I could see there were three or four men on it. I then got hold of a couple of pieces of scantling and floated with one under each arm until about 4 o'clock, when I found three heavier pieces of timber, which I lashed together with strips torn from e plese of pillow case which 1 found floating. “On this I managed to set astride until the life boats and rafts had drifted out of sight of where 1 was, but I could see a number of men floating on wreckage, and besides there was at a distance of about 400 feet a large piece of deck, about 10x40 feet with five men on It. After two hours' hard work I succeeded in reaching it, but the men would not allow me to go aboard, saying they had enough passengers for the size of their craft. STRUCK A COOL-HEADED SAILOR. “I had in the meantime come across a salor on a small plece of deck, who, lke mynelf, was Intent on passing the night on a larger raft, and, as he could not do this, he praposed that we should lash his raft to another of & similar size, which was floating near by. This sallor was named Ross, and appeared to be @ man of good sense and lots of grit. He was badly hurt on the head from’ having been struck with wreck- age, and I wax afraid that with the sun of the following day he might go crazy. He criticised the manner in which the cargo of the Colima was stored and the fact that the lifeboats and rafts had mot been gotten ready about dark. 1 got hold of an orange, of which 1 took a suck, saving the rest for future use, and Ross got a turnip, which he would save for breakfast, and which he put in a sack he bad tied around his body. “Ross proposed that cne should watch while the other slept, but, as the waves cov- ered us to ihe neck, sleep was out of the question, In the morning Ross put bis band in the sack to bring out his breakfast, and exclaimed in most tragic tones: ‘My God, 1 have lost the turnip! and so we went without breakfast. On Monday even- ing we could see the shore line indistinctly and 4n the morning we bad drifted so far that the land @id not logk more than ten miles away, and we began to paddle for it Half a mile distant we made out a piece of deck with three or four men on it. After paddling about two hours we saw the smoke of a steamer, wiich proved to be the San Juan. We made signals with the sack, and about 10 o'clock were picked up by the lifeboats. “We were twenty-two hours in the water. The boat before reaching us had already picked up two survivors, badly hurt, and before we reached the ship rescued two more. 1 saw three women, but no children. When we got aboard I broke down and went to bed”in ‘the purser's cabin. After the vessel sahk we had about an hour of riving rain,’apd the water at night 1s very chilly. A% far as 1 know there were no orders v get ready the lifeboats and rafts, or for fhe passengers to put on life preservers, and In this particular all the survivors 1 have spaken to agree with me.

Learning at Boco del Apica that five more survivors had been | cast ashoro at Mafaele, she sent a boat | with five sailors to rescue them. The sea was still very rough at the time, and as the boat failed to return, It is thought it must have capsized in the breakers.

June 2.—(Special)— South Dakota has co far this season battled with Jack Frost on several occasions, dry weather and hot winds. On the whole, it can be said that the battles were won by the state. Nearly ten inches of rais has fallen east of the James river since March 1. West of that stream the rainfall has been lighter and crops have suffered. Traveling men who arrived in this city last night from a trip over the state repert that orops are in the finest condition east of the James river, and that If no hot winds come before the middle of July, a mammoth crop of wheat is sured, even without any more rain. For twenty miles west of the James river the indications are for a fair crop, whtle from Plankinton west to Chamberlain not over half a crop of small grain will be harvested on_account of the dry weather, whieh pre- ceded the hot winds of last Monday. With a favorable season from now on corn will be & good crop in all parts of the state. While in some parts of the state fruit was dam- aged a great deal by the frosts, in other lo- calities but a very slight damage was sus- tained. Along the James river in the vieinity of Mitehell the wild grape and wild plums were damaged beyond recovery by the five successive frosts about May 20. JIn this (Minnehaha) county there never was in the history of the state such a flattering outlook for a great crop of all products. Indinna Crops Damaged. ANDERSON, Ind., June 2.—Havoc has been wrought by the two extremes of temperature to which this section of the state has been subjected during the last two weeks, and farmers are very despondent.
