EDITORIALS.
A glance at the head of the
column reports the resignation of
Messrs. Baskerville, Roberson and
-Harding. We regret exceedingly
to . lose these earnest colleagues,
and would, by wayof parting,
ascribe to their efficient labors a
great share of this paper's success.
The editors are working away
on the HEIXENIAN with a will."
On account of hard times very
few advertisements can be secured,
and hence the Business Managers
have decided not to publish as
many copies as were gotten out
last year.
By request of the Medical
Class we wish to say that the un
pleasant matter that pertained to
one of its members has been set
tled and the gentleman was in
every way exonerated. It was, j
perhaps, owing to a misunder- i
standing that it took on this un- .
pleasant form. ;

men, exerted sufficient
energy for carrying on correspon
dence with fraternity councils and
for sending on a few money or
ders, they would now be in their
former condition. The. change
has been due to several effective
visits to the post-office as opposed
to lengthy satisfaction in an arm
chair. The Tar Heel has never,
nor would not now, purposely in
jure the feelings o a man, wears

explanation.
The Di. Society is yet far
from extinction. Within the past
few weeks two eminent lecturers
have under its auspices delivered
to the student body addresses of a
very high order. Such opportu
nities cannot bring with them
anything but good, and we con
gratulate the Society upon its pro
gressive and happy endeavor to
obtain pleasure and at the same
time improvement for our stu
Examinations are now over.
All minds are relieved and look
ing toward the coming contests in
base-ball. Our .team, by their
work last Saturday, demonstrated
to the spectators what they could
do on slippery ground and in fall
ing rain. We may expect much
if, the weather being propitious,
our "grays " keep up their inter
est and continue in earnest after
noon practice.
THE TAMING OF THE
SHREW.
The excellence of Mr. Wil
liams' reading of Henry. IV. on
Monday evening drew a large au
dience to hear him render ."The
Taming of the Shrew " on Tues
day. ,
"In his analysis of the play Mr.
Williams stated that the comedy
is divided into three parts the
induction, a picture of actual Eng
lish life and character, placed near
the poet's early home; the com
edy of character, in which figure
Katharine and Petruccio, t h e
shrew and her tamer; and, third,
the comedy of intrigue, the char
acters of which are Bianca and
her various lovers. This is the
only one of Shakspeare's comedies
with a complete plot and a de
cided moral. ,
The second scene was prefaced
with a short characterization of
Kate, the intellectual, willful
woman, who has been spoiled by
her father's indulgence and her
sister Bianca's gentleness. Her
It seems that of late certain
remarks made by The Tar HEEL
have been misinterpreted and
taken to mean exactly what the
editors have painfully studied to
avoid. Speaking of the intended
game of ball with Durham, an
expressed hope of a " shut-out for
our opponents" appeared, through
a most aggravating printer's . mis
take, as a desired "sheet-out for,"
etc., thereby metamorphosing a
universal college volition into a
reference to the"Whiteand Blue. 'previous evening, though his ren

higli temper drives away possible
suitors, and she becomes jealous
of her sister's wealth of lovers, for
Kate, like any sensible woman,
wants to get married. Petruccio,
who is as shrewish as Kate, only
more so," resolves to wed this ter
magant and tame her, and " there,
by hangs the tale."
Mr. Williams rendered the char
acters with great truth and precis
ion, but none of them so suited
him as did "Fat Jack" of the
Gremio, elicited much laughter.
The reading closed with the
second scene of Act IV, where
Kate, now completely tamed, at
her husband's command, salutes
the aged Vincentio as a blooming
maiden, only to recant on a hint 1
from' Petruccio. -
Both this play and King Henry
were rendered entirely from mem
ory, without a note, a feature
which adds greatly to the interest.
The boys attended closely, as
though getting points for future
use, which let us pray they may
never need.
LIBRARY NOTES.
Many salutary changes have
recently been made in the Library.
All the public documents and law
books, about 5,000 in number,
that were formerly stacked away
on those high inaccessible shelves,
have been taken down and ar
ranged in the new steel cases ac
cording to subject a n d d a t e.
Among these many very valuable
documents were found.
Seventy-five new volumes have
just been added, catalogued and
are now ready for use. Lists of
all the new books are made and
posted in the Library, where they
may be read.
During the last year 1,800 new
books have been added.
About 1 1,000 volumes and pam
phlets of the Mitchell Society
have been incorporated with the
University Library.
Our water-works are coutin
ually getting out of order. Some
thing should be done, for no less
than half a dozen times this spring
the bath-house has been closed.
A time or two on account of miss
ing well-chains the students have
been compelled to receive in their
rooms a compound of iron-rust
aud paint, which does not impress
everyone as palatable.
