POSTOFFICE WRECKED B Y

S A F E BLOWERS.

T h e East Lansing postoffice was broken into at an early hour Sunday morning, the safe being blown into pieces and the building damaged to a large extent. Members of the faculty heard the report about 2 o'clock, but thinking that some stu­dents were celebrating, paid little attention to it. Alphonso Smith, the college night watchman, Was bear the postoffice at the time and ap-i- ared on the scene within a minute after the explosion. He ran to the power house on the opposite side of the campus and telephoned Deputy Sheriff Noah Snyder.

While Smith was telephoning, the robbers grabbed a few packages of stamps of small denomination and made their escape. Within an hour, however, Deputies Snyder, Harton, and Blizzard were in pursuit of the burglars, following their tracks along the road to Pine Lake.

Some bills and other papers in the safe were torn into fragments by the great force of the explosion, which also blew out several of the windows in the building. Postmaster B. L. Rosencrans is not yet able to esti­mate the value of the supplies lost. T h e robbers took several packages of one and two-cent stamps, leaving a big package of high denomination stamps untouched. They broke open the till in the outer room of the postoffice and took all but three cents of the dollar of change left in it.

It is a general supposition, that the work was done bv amateurs as the charge used in blowing the safe was very much heavier than was necessary to have done the work, the safe 'being merely a thin sheet iron shell.

An attempt was made to "blow" the safe six weeks ago, as former Postmaster C. B. Collingwood found the cracks all soaped up ready for an explosion one morning. I t is thought that the burglar alarm frightened the men away the first time, but as the wires of the alarm bell were cut Saturday night it is generally believed that both attempts were made bv the same persons.

The sheriff and deputies followed the supposed tracks of the burglars for a long distance and have contin­ued upon the pursuit. The robbers, it is supposed, have located some­where near Mason. They drove a light colored horse. A -bicycle which was used by a third member has been confiscated.

T h e mechanical department has received two additions to its equip­ment recently, one being a 414 Meitz & W eiss kerosene engine donated by the Seager Engine Works , and the other a 3000-lb portable crane for use in the ma­chine shop. There was added to the machine shop during the sum­mer a 24-in Cincinnati shaper.

During the month of September the Botanical department received 225 letters and questions concerning the work.

THE SECOND ANNUAL BAR­BECUE.

T h e initiative taken last year by the student council in establishing an annual convocation is marked in many ways as superior to those in­dulged in at other colleges. The principal ones are those which justly entitle it to the name of " barbecue."

Again this' year the ' ' b l o w o u t " will be held in the hollow in front of Wells Hall and ox and cider will be served to the multitude as usual. Last year President Kurtz of the graduating class presented the soph­omores with a silver carving knife to be handed down to the succeed­ing class at this event. President S. T . Orr of the sophomore class will have the honor of formally transferring the silver knife into the hands of the freshmen.

A large attendance is expected and probably many guests from the city of Lansing will be there.

AUROREAN POW-WOW.

Last Saturday night the third annual pow-wow of the Aurorean Literary Society was held in the Armory .

T h e decorations were held entire­ly to an outdoor, Indian-like fall scene. T h e overhead girders were neatly hidden behind highly colored autumn 'eaves, being arched to the floor at each girder. T h e ends of saw-logs were used for seats near the outskirts of the camp. T h e or­chestra was at one side separated from the merry crowd by arches of leaves. A well armed stockade in one corner of the camp presented a rough, dangerous-looking, exterior but those daring to enter were sur­prised at the comfort the seats and Indian blankets afforded. Several tepees and a spring of cool water made the camp complete. The children of the tribe in their wild costumes presented the programs which were made from genuine birch bark cut in the form of wig­wams.

The lights were so arranged that during the " S p e c i a l " dances they were made to look like mere twink­ling stars. This with the whoops of the Indians and the camp sur-rouimings made one think that they were at a real pow-wow.

The patrons for the evening were Dean and Mrs . Bissell and Lieut, and Mrs . Holley. T h e college or­chestra furnished the music.

On Wednesday Oct. 27, the Christian Associations will be fav­ored with a visit by Kenneth S. Latourette, traveling secretary of the Student Volunteer Movement. Mr. Latourette is to be here in the inter­ests of the Sixth International Con­vention of the Movement to be held at Rochester, Dec. 29, 1909-Jan-uary 2, 1910. He will address the students in the chapel at 6 :45 p . m. Wednesday.

T h e Union meeting Sunday even­ing will be addressed by Mr. B. B. Johnson, General Secretary at the Lansing Y . M. C. A.

DONALD ROBERTSON'S AD­DRESS.

The scholarly address listened to last Wednesday morning in the M. A. C. chapel when Mr. Donald Robertson, of the Chicago Ar t In­stitute, discoursed on the Player 's Gltlling, is an event that will live long in the memory of those who

good fortune to be present. •'T>,c Piaycr's Calling," rather

than the Actor 's I roii ion, is what Mr. Robertson considered tn rot-rect title of his theme. " I t is a Calling, and no one should enter the Temple, sacred to Dramatic Art , unless he be impelled thereto by the voice of Divinity ; for it is here that we must look when the emotions and the thoughts seek their highest and holiest expression. The titans among men, Aeschuylus, Euripides, Aristophanes, Shake­speare, Moliere, and a legion of others but little less gifted, sought the dramatic form to teach, to en-tcnain or to move the souls of their hearers. In the last analysis of lit­erary expression it is to the dramatic form that we must have recourse. Why , then, should we not earnestly cultivate its rules and principles if we hope to derive enjoyment, wis­dom, or the culture which broadens our experience and gives to us a larger comprehension of life's tn aning?"

Air. Robertson contrasted the low estate to which the expressive art had fallen as compared with the sta­tion which it had enjoyed in many periods of the past, and which it may again occupy if we but learn to understand its true mission amoiiE; men. " W e are not placed on earth to be amused—we are here to labor cheerfully at our appointed tasks and to seek in connection therewith good and wholesome recreation from the sources that experience and wisdom approve. Life should be bright and jovous with the things of heaven as well as of 'ear th — the Creator so intended and it behooves us as intelligent beings to strive in conformity with His intent."

Mr. Robertson's work now is to so place the theater before the pub­lic that all who seek the recreation which it affords mav not be disap­pointed as they too often arc when its portals are entered.

T h e lay-sermon - it may be truth­fully so-called—which he preached was pervaded throughout with an earnestness and enthusiasm which deeplj- impressed his hearers, and, as he said of art—it could not be taught, it must be felt—touched the heart more than the head. N o one ever rose to eminence in the calling who did not profoundly feel the mission he had to deliver and the message he had to impart ; for art has a gospel of its own and its truths are as vital for the welfare of humanity as those of Revelation.

T o Mr.Robertson,Robert Brown­ing penned the last letter of his life, commending his efforts and urging him to persevere in the course he had chosen ; the uplifting of the noble art of expression, that it

M. A. C. v s . NOTRE DAME.

Seventeen to nothing tells the story of one of the hardest battles an M. A. C. football team ever fought. W e were beaten but never licked, and when the last whistle blew the two hundred ajid fifty rooters who accompanied the team on the long trip into the Iloosier state picked the players up and car­ried them from the field as proudly as if they were victors. It was a revelation to the Notre Dame crowd, and, as one spectator said " N o won­der M. A. C. turns out such great teams with that spirit of gameness in players and rooters."

While defeat comes hard, some one must lose, and we were beaten by a better, more powerful team, and, while the accident to Exelbv in the first five minutes and the forc­ing from the game of Wheeler and Moore, weakened us considerably and the good fortune of the battle seemed to be with our opponents, we have no excuse for the defeat. W e are proud to have been able to fight back on even terms such a team as Notre Dame put on the field.

Outweighed 20 pounds to a man, facing a team of older men and vet­erans, our team outplayed them all during the first half. Four times the ball was carried to within strik­ing distance of their goal and place kicks attempted. The ball was in Notre Dame territory throughout the half until the last three minutes, when on a fumbled punt by Cort-right a Notre Dame end grabbed the ball and took it to the 10-yard line, from where it was forced over for a touchdown. T h e second half was Notre Dame's," and, principally by the great line plunging of Dim-mick and their big full back, Vaughn,

two touchdowns were scored bring­ing the final score to seventeen.

Lemmon at right guard played a grand game. Opposed to Edwards , the Notre Dame captain, who is considered one of the greatest guards in the west, and outweighed 50 pounds, he broke through again and again, making more tackles than any lineman on either team. Stone, at left end, was a power on the de­fense, downing his man for a loss time after time, and spoiling four attempted forward passes by nailing the man before he could make the pass. F rank Campbell played a strong game at tackle, while Moore played finely during the first half, but was not in condition to last through such a grueling game. Capt. McKenna gained the most ground of any man on either team, going around the end for substantial gains several times, and almost getting loose for a touchdown on a criss cross, being brought down on the 20-yard line after a gain of 25 yards. His kicking was fine, too, one in the first half going 85 yards.

HORTICULTURAL CLUB.

There was a good turnout at the Horticultural Club meeting to hear Secretary Brown speak on " T h e Home Vegetable Garden." T h e Secretary is the owner of the prize garden in this community and his ability to describe in a very interest­ing way how it was made and main­tained and the results was demon­strated, l i e illustrated his remarks to a good advantage with a large map showing the advantage of a special location for certain crops. Some of his seasonal difficulties were shown by specimens of celery and parsnips. During the interest­ing discussion which followed superfine pears were passed and L. E. Babcock made a few remarks about the variety.

Tomorrow night " T h e Frui t In­dustry of Fennville" will be dis­cussed by four of the students from that section, U. S. Crane, C. E . At-water, H . E . Knowlton and H . E . Truax. Everybody interested in horticulture is invited to come Wednesday evening 6 130 to 7 : 3 c

Mr . Zeno P . Metcalf former in­structor in entomology was married October 20th to Miss Luella Cor-rell, at Wooster , Ohio. They will be at home after Dec. 1st, at Raleigh, N . C.

A NEW BELL.

Three bells have swung in the tower in Williams Hall within the last ten days. T h e old bell which has been ringing for the last th ree years suddenly changed its v oice one day of last week and took on a hoarseness that was scarcely audi­ble. It was taken down and the little one which had called the classes together for nearly fifty vears previous to its yetting acci­dentally lost was put up in stead. T h e little fellow couldn't speak loud enough to reach the students who lived in remote districts and the duty of casting a new bell forth­with devolved upon the foreman of the foundry. So Elmer C. Baker, who holds that title, began the task of collecting material and men. Several preliminaries to " t h e build­ing of the ship " were repeated on a somewhat smaller scale and after the careful and zealous application of four consecutive sections of sophomores a bell was made after the model of the larger and hoarser one.

The sand was carefully dumped, and lo! the new chimer was found wanting of metal. A clapper was hung and the tone was beautiful, but everyone had misgivings that a bell with a hole in it could not last long. It was hung, however, in the place of the little one with a history, but the day came when Chas. Pon-itz, the sexton, pulled harder than usual and the clear tinkle again gave way to a low hoarseness.

So the duty again devolves upon the foreman of foundry.

A new man has been selected for the Y . M. C. A. Cabinet in the per­son of James A. Waldron. Mr . Waldron will be Press Secretary.
