STUDENTS RAISED CAIN
Midnight Raid of Wesleyan Rioteri
Results in Terrible State of
■« Confusion.
The students of Wesleyan uni
versity, at Middletown, Conn.,
Lave made yearly raids on the
property of the janitor, and, ap
parently, they concluded to break
all previous records one night in
March, says Golden Days. About
midnight a crowd of them went to
the janitor's barn, and took from
it two dump carts and a large
wagon. These were dragged to
the North college, where all three
were taken through the large
front entrance. Two were left on
the first floor and the third was
taken apart and carried to the
second floor, where it was put to
gether again and left in front of
the office door, while other stu
dents were drawing the carts, left
on the first floor, to and fro
through the corridor.
The students then went back to
the janitor’s barn and led two of
his horses to the college and suc
ceeded by hard work in getting
them into the building. The
horses kicked furiously, and the
instructor in chemistry persuaded
the young men to return the ani
mals to t heir stables.
The students then drove wood
en plugs into the keyholes of the
doors leading to the college of
fices and broke the plugs off level
with the surface of the doors, so
that it was necessary to bore them
out with a bit before the offices
could be enered in the morning.
Dope was then secured and an
ash sifter was hung from the col
lege flagstaff.
The students went to the col
lege chapel, where they collected
the hymnals and hid them away.
They concluded with a spirited
ringing of the chapel bell.

“We have just 51 members in
our union and 2(1 of i hem are grass
widows,” was (he startling infor
mation vouchsafed by the walking
delegate of the "Lady Coremak
ers” of Chicago. It was at a mend
ing of the executive board of t he
lady coremakers, reports the La
dies’ Monthly, convened in the
brass molders’ headquarters to
determine whether t he lady core
makers should run the bar at their
forthcoming ball or whether they
should rent the privilege to their
brother craftsmen, the brass
molders. The latter, as the de
bate developed, had offered the
paltry sum of $175 for the priv
ilege. The suggestion was re
ceived with hisses.
“What’s to hinder our own
selves from running our own bai
at our own ball?” queried one sis
ter.
“That’s what I say.”
“I move that we allow the gen
tlemen brass molders to run out
bar in consideration of the pay
ment to the lady coremakers o^
the sum of $500 cash down on tlw
spot,” moved the parliamentari
an, Miss Harkins, amid unani
mous applause. Resuming hei
seat she turned to me and said
“I tell you these men will do yoi
every time they get a chance
They'll do you up in business
they’ll do you up in matrimony
and they’ll do you in the union
too, every time they get a chance
They'll cheat you out ofyourowt
