A fairly large audience of music lovers attended the concert given by the pupils of the music department last Friday evening.

In the death of Mr. James S. Tur^ ner the University has again lost one of its strongest friends. For many years Mr. Turner was connected with the institution and has been one of the trustees of the school from the first. He was one of the most influential men in his section of the State, living for many years at Levyville, and worked incessantly for the success of our University. He has been in poor health for some time, and was not able to attend the last meeting of the trustees. We wish to ioin with his many friends here in the College, in expressing our heartfelt sympathy to the bereaved family. Mr. Turner was a grandfather of J. Turner Butler, of the Senior Law class. •+-+-+ Hear Ye! Hear Ye! Hear Ye! Court convenes Monday afternoon and will be in continuous session until the docket is cleared. The first case is that of the State vs. John AVorley for the murder of one Fee. Wilson, Wingood, Butler and Van Sant are the attorneys. Another case is that of Wilson against "Justice" Jones. The defendant in this ease will be represented by Crawford and Merryday, -while Brumsey an<T LeriTesTy will look out for Wilson. There is also an equity case to be disposed of. Carter represents plaintiff and Crawford the defendant. Many witnesses have been summoned, and Sheriff Wright is kept hustling getting matters in shape for the Judge when he arrives Monday. The sessions of the court will be open and visitors will be admitted. *-•-* Y. W. C. A: The Y. W. C. A. was led Thursday by Miss Ethel Bouehelle, and it was an enjoyable Easter service. Next Thursday, April 6, a missionary meeting will be held, and the committee is preparing an interesting program. GOVERNOR OF MINNESOTA SPEAKS Addressed Kent Club Saturday—Patriotic Sentiments Expressed That Did Honor to Statesman and to His Section* The first meeting of tlie Kent Club under flie new administration was a success from every standpoint. Wilson seems to nave been born to preside, and he begins even now to look like a judge. There was a large number of visitors, Gov. Van Sant, of Minnesota, and his wife being among them. The Governor seemed right at home with the lawyers. He dined at G o'clock with "The Bug" contingent, and then adjourned with the crowd to Kent Hall. The first number on the program was an oration by Mr. W. B. Crawford. His subject was "Southern Character." It was a worthy effort. He showed the part Southern men had taken in laying the foundations of this government, the greatness of Southern men in the forum and on the field of battle prior to 1860. He spoke of the great civil war, the days of reconstruction, and the efforts of Southern men to bring atiout a reconciliation of the sections and the heroism of Southern men in the late war with Spain. Through all the oration, while there was the spirit of love for the land of his birth, ffiere also shone forth the spirit, loyalty and devotion to the Stars and Stripes that Is peculiarly characteristic of the Southern people. He was interrupted several times with hearty applause. The question, "Resolved, That the tariff should be regulated by a commission," was discussed by Wilson and Merryday on the affirmative, opposed by Fee and Blanton on the negative. The Kent Club boys were proud of all the speakers. Mr. Silas B. Wright, C. D. Landis and N. G. Van Sant were chosen judges. It was a split decision—two for the affirmative and one for the negative. At the close of the program President Wilson called on Gov. Van Sai*t for a few remarks. The Governor responded in a way that captured the house. He paid most of his attention to the oration by Mr. Crawford. It seemed to strike him lust right. Said he had the ocular proof of what was said in regard to Southern valor, as he had himself met Southern soldiers in the storm of battle. He paid a glowing tribute to the immortal Lee, which elicited long and continuos applause. He referred to Pickett's charge as being one of the greatest in the world's history and said that only an American army could have stopped it. He said the mistake of Lincoln's in thinking at the beginning of the war that it would last only a few months was because he did not realize he had to confront Americans. The Governor grew eloquent and spoke with much feeling when he referred to the reunion of the two sections and of the greatness of tnls country. He received more liberal applause during the course of his remarks than perhaps any speaker who has ever addressed a body of students in this institution. He is indeed a great national character, and he has a heart that is as broad and big as was that of Abraham Lincoln's. Such sentiments as he expressed Saturday night do honor to the man and could only come from a broad-minded statesman. Such a man does honor to the Republican party, and no position in our government is too big for him to fill. SHERIFF WRIGHT ENTERTAINS Elaborate Sinner Given in Honor of the Bug House Lawyers. Mr. Silas B. Wright, Jr., entertained Messrs. Wilson, Butler, Crawford, Fee, Worley, Conover and Merryday at dinner yesterday evening at his home on New York avenue. "Plenty to eat" was the motto and a royal good time was enjoyed by all present. ADDITIONAL LOCALS. If you must be fool enough to celebrate the first of April, by painting the white cement walks around here, you might be at least loyal enough \o use green paint instead of red. Doesn't speak much for taste, in our opinion. A young lady from New York, a friend of the Benedict boys, paid the school a visit this week. She expects to attend college here next fall and came to see the University. She Informed us that the Benedict's will be here with us again next year. J. L. Burt has made the first exhibit of home grown celery from his Rob Roy celery farm on the Heights. Mr. Burt has a fine crop of celery now well along toward maturity, a sample of which was on exhibition yesterday in the window of the Putnam National Bank.—Palatka News. Butler Goes Bugward. Judge James Turner Butler, after many years' connection with Conrad Hall, has left that establishment and bought a fee simple interest in the life expectancies, future hopes and raw provisions of "Bug House" (including Crawford's chicken yard), and changed his residence yesterday to the "situs" of the last named firm on Ricli avenue. Stetson Literary Society. The new officers, President Walker and Secretary Hampton, assumed the reins of government, and took their chairs of honor with becoming modesty. The faithful few who were present seemed to be inspired by something of their old enthusiastic spirit. The usual program was rendered with a fire that was decidedly novel, and which made the evening one of the most interesting of the year. Mr. Walker, from his thorough knowledge of the trend of affairs, discoursed interestingly on current events. Miss Hampton's reading from "William Tell" was especially well rendered. Mr. Staley gave an extemporaneous talk on State politics, which held the ears of tne voting contingent of the society, while the others were inspired to an enthusiastic support of woman suffrage. The Parliamentary Practice, with Mr. SparKman in the chair, was of the usual order. An improvement in this number is promised by the new program committee. After the recess the debaters poured forth their oratory in the discussion of the present naval policy of the government. Messrs. Botts and Allen successfully supported the government against Messrs. Moffatt and Leitner. Before adjournment two newly elected members were initiated into the rights of the Society. ■+-*-+ Athletic Association's Prosperous financial Standing. It may not be without interest to the students and other patrons of the Athletic Lyceum Course of the past winter, to learn the ex* -t status of the entire course, the number of season tickets sold, the amounts received at door from sale of single tickets on the respective entertainments, etc. Allow us, therefore, to make the following STATEMENT. Income. 165 season tickets at $1.50 $247.00 Single tickets at door for "Chicago Entertainers" 54.75 Contributed 1.00 Amount overpaid .70 Single tickets, Swiss Bell Ringers 49.20 Single tickets, Otterbein Quartette 46.75 Single tickets, College Play.. 161.75 Total $561.75 Disbursements. Chicago Lady Entertainers . $100.00 Swiss Bell Ringers 65.00 Otterbein Quartette 65.00 Sundries (printing, hack, board, materials, etc.) 71.75 Total $301.75 Receipts $561.75 Expenses $301.75 Net proceeds for year for entire course $260.00 The fact that Dr. Farriss, early in the college year, turned the whole Ly- cum Course over to the Athletic Association, is clearly indicative of his interest in the Athletic Association, a proof that he realizes the growing importance of college athletics, and his determination to lend the sanction, prestige and encouragement of the institution in helping on the financial side of the movement: The Association hopes for equally generous consideration next year.

Why should not the housewife do the same? Even in the best equipped kitchens, cooking utensils and the groceries required for three meals a day are scattered about in pantries, drawers, on shelves or hooks in all the four corners. One of the best housewives I ever knew told me that one secret of her having won repute as a quick, good cook was because her tools were always close to the spot where her work lay. On shelves beside her stove stood groceries wnich are best kept dry, tea and coffee in canisters, a box of cocoa, salt, pepper, mustard, sugar, soda, and above the stove a tool strap containing cooking spoons and forks, sharp knives and butter boards. A match safe, which was never allowed to become empty, hung within easy reach of the cook. Only a step from the stove stood the kitchen table and sink, and the result is that meals can be prepared with little labor and few footsteps.—Good Housekeeping.
