The inclemency of the weather knocked us out of a little base-ball practice the latter part of last week; but we wont grumble about it, since it had been so fine up to that time. As soon as it fairs off the men will be out with more vigor and enthu siasm than ever. At last the University has secured what we have long felt the need of, a teacher of expression. He is Mr. Jno. Cowan, a full graduate of the Bostoii School of Expression. Mr. Cowan is expected to arrive this week. The instruction he offers is open to any student of the University, and no ex tra fee will be charged in 'connection with it. Owing to the lateness in the term, the work could not be arranged so as to count towards a degree. s The students will have an opportu nity now that has before been wanting in the University, and i tis to be hoped that many of them will avail them selves of it. The assistance Mr. Cow an can give the Rep. Speakers and commencement orators especially will be valuable. The -Societies too may get much good from him : Let it be arranged so that he can at tend alternately the meetings of the two Societies. Give him the function of a corrector and let him criticise each speaker his manner, his jestures, his articulation. The men would not only have their attention called to their errors, but, knowing that the eye of a critic was on them, would prepare their speeches better than they ordinarily do. We have talent in our societies, but that it needs training, and needs it badly, cannot be denied. Now is the time for us to get that training, and let us not neglect the opportunity. the reading room door or the papers are locked on the desks. By the way, would it not be well for the reading room to have two cop ies of the News and Observer. This paper is read more than any other, and often it is difficult to get anywhere about it for the crowds that beseige it. We mentioned sometime ago that arrangements were being made by which a correspondence was to be car ried on between the various Colleges of the South through the college pa pers. The Red and Black, having made the proposition, writes the first letter. It will be found in another column. The following is the order in which the letters are to be sent out: Red and Black, University of Geor gia. The Tar Heei., University of North Carolina. The Orange and Black, Auburn College. Crimson and White, University of Alabama. The Hustler, Vanderbilt Universi ty."." ' University , Record, University of Mississippi. College Topics, University of Vir ginia. This system of correspondence will enable those who may not have an opportunity of seeing papers from other Colleges each week to know something of their happenings through their own college paper. The etters will have the advantage of not containing any local coloring, which often makes the articles of a paper un intelligible to those who are" not on to the inner life of the college. We regret to have to refer to the practice some unknown persons have of removing the papers from the read ing room at night. Just as sure as anything of great interest comes out- Something that everybody wants to read just so sure are they to be "swi ped in less than twelve hours. Peo ple who do this do not take into con sideration the fact that there are some who do not get an opportunity to see the papers in the afternoon and would like to read them the next day. looks bad that the librarian should have to keep the papers locked all the time, but, unless this ugly business stops, the library authorities ought to see to it that either a lock is put on Mr. Winecoff' Book of Sermons. Rev. Mr. Winecoff, Rector of the Episcopal church at this place, has just had printhd for his own use ami for the use of his friends, and his brother clergymen a little pamphlet of thirty seven pages on "The One Catholic and Apostolic Church." It contains ten chapters, being out lines of some fifteen or sixteen ser mons on the Church and the Sacra ments. It is a true, strong- state ment of the position and claims of the Episcopal church. ' Mr. Winecoff was graduated A. B. at Davidson College in 1890, at the head of his class. From then until 1893 he was in the Method ist Conference, and during this pe riod studied Theology for a time at Vanderbilt University. In 1893-he took the degree of A. M. from Davidson. A year later he gaye up the Methodist Ministry for the Episcopal. He was called to this Parish in September 1896. Since then he has been zealous in the work in his church and among the students of the University. Mr. Winecoff writes as he preach es, from the standpoint of an Epis copalian and student of philosophy, and his pamphlet bears the impress of a mind that seeks for truth and welcomes it whenever found. The Universerty Press did the printing, and the beautiful and ac curate press work is a credit to our University Press, as the subject matter is to Mr. Winecoff. Visitation of the Bishop and the Meeting of the Convention. Rt. Rev. Joseph Blount Cheshire, Bishop of North Carolina, made his annual visitation to this Parish last Tuesday night, and administered the right of confirmation to seven candidates. The Convocation of Raleig"h also lield its regular meeting at the Episcopal Church here Wednesday and Thursday, and gave us some most enjoyable Services. Rev. S. P. Warkins, of Hillsboro preached Wednesday morning, and Rev. Dr. I. McK. Pittenger, of Raleigii, Wednesday- evening. On Thursda', Rev. J. M. Horner, of Horner's School, Oxford, preached in the morning, and Rev. H. H. Barber, of Burlington, in the evening. The sermons were all clear and forcible and went straight home to the hearts of those who heard them. The music too, was good, and every-; thing tended to make the services enjoyable as well as helpful. Business meetings of the Convo cation were held We'dnesday and Thursday afternoons. It is a rare privilege to have so many able ministers assemble here atone time. The good attendance at all the Services, notwithstanding the press of duties during the week, showed that such an opportunity was appreciated both by the stu dents and the citizens of the town. Let the Convocation come again. "My task in life," said the pastor complacently, "consists in saving young men." "Ah", replied the maiden, with a soulful longing, "save a nice looking one for me." The Impression Made by Commons on an Outsider. It is with peculiar pride that the students of the University watch her steady growth and development, both internally and externally, and it is like music in their ears when her friends look on and say, "Well done." Bishop Cheshire and the seven Ministers who were attending the Convocation dined at Commons last Thursday, and their expressions of satisfaction," not only at the fare but at the neatness and systematic or der in which everything was man aged, were very complimentary. They seemed to be. surprised to find that so much could be given for so little money a plenty of wholesome and well prepared food, in a com fortable and attractive place, served by courteous and manly students. They paid the highest tribute to Commons ther could have paid a tribute of which it may be justly proud. Pharmacy Baseball Team. The members of the Pharmacy class have arranged a baseball team and herewith send forth a challenge to any class from Fresh to Senior, whom they will meet upon the diamond at any fixed time. Mr. P. B. Webb Jias been elected captain and Mr. "Dutch y" Grouver, manager, The action of this class is to be commended. If out of sixteen men in the class they are able to organize a team, other classes can certainly do so. 1 Excited Junior(to Farmer)-Had you heard about the U. S. Cruiser being blown up in Havana harbor last night. Farmer No, but I told the old wo man this morning we'd hear from that tin ry A vrn4- J VI.. BASE BALL. Concluded from first page, Stephens is probably the best fancy fielder in college but is weak on ground balls. In general the Varsity and Scruds both play ball at snails pace. Some of the pitchers spend half their time watching first base, and waste time in various and sundry ways. Team work is conspicuous by its absence. The players should put more life into the game and avoid unnecess ary mistakes, should pay strict at tention to the signals and practice the points of the game according' to Coach Reynold's directions. in judg-ement of fly balls and not much at throwing. Hearn is sure on fly ball, but weak at the bat. Woodard is too acrobatic, should steady down. . Donnelly chops when at the bat is good in the field. Vick is erratic in his appearance on the field, is quick and throws well, elicits much applause from the grand-stand. Inter-Society Debate. The tenth annual inter-society de bate between the two Literary Socie ties comes off in the Dialectic Hall to-night. Officials for that occasion were elected by the Di. Soci ety at their last meeting. They are;- President, J. E. Little; Secretary, W. A. Smith. The query to be discussed is "Re solved, that the United States Senators should be elected by a direct Vote of the People". .. Messrs. Abbott and Connor will rep resent the Phi, on the Affirmative, Messrs. Johnston ane Bowie, the Di, on the Negative. The following judges have been selected; President Chas. I). Mcl.ver, Prof. A. Q. Holliday, and Dr. John Manning. ' To Whom It may concern. This is not meant for those who have paid their subscriptions to the Tar Heel, But for those who have not, it is intended to remind you of the fact that we need the money. v.. : w. ?f Now if you wish to help to keep this organ of our Athletic Life in a sound, i ui niw tn Tins neaiiny umuunui am."" matter of business at an early date.
