In the meantime the renters, one ly one, are shaking the dust of the mti ket from their heels, "frozen out." as they say. This u why nothing was done about the matter: Alderi.nn Corr-ll slated that lie, us a ineui'-r of the special commitle' on market tents, had a minority report to submit. In a mo ment al.teimau C. K.

Some Talk About Next Year's Work. Mrs. Hayes, the in itroiiof the King's Danghiers mission rooms, was seen by a repoi er yesterday and had some iu terestin; things to saj about the work for the ensuing year. In ad lilii.n lothe circiila-inglibrary which w.is mentioned in -yesterday's VislTOP, se.eral new features in King's Daughters work, will he established with the new year. Among them will be an intelligen e bureau and an in dustrial department.." While the mis sion rooms are primarily a charitable institution, the ladies of the "mission" circle, that will especially devote ilself to mission room work, have decided to try to raise money by arious means meet the expanses for the rent -of the rooms, 1 hi matron's salary, charita ble work, etc. This they propose H do by coinbiuditig business principles with charitable effort. The intelligence bureau, they think, could tuus be made to pay a nice sum into the treasury of the cir. le, Dur ing the past year Mrs. Hayes has pro cured for numbers of the deserving poor psople and d-'sirable situations. Now, the ladies argue, there is no reason why one who, however worthy of charity he or she may be, has profit d by 1 he c:,:,rity ..I' the ch trity of the cjreie. should not, upon pro curing a paying situation, pay a small sum for the same. Then, too, an industrial department will bo opened. The object of this will le to furnish poor people who have liaadi.virU, or any . article ".for sale, a p'ace to i x .libit it. Displayed at the m.ssion rooms the article would be more likely to be sold than else where. For everything sold the cir cle will of course get a small com mission. The rooms have lately been greatly improved and rearranged and no,v present, an exceedingly cheerful and very handsome, appearance. Tlie in stitution does a great work reaching with kind charity numbers of people who could be' reached in u 'other way and ir, is to be hoped thar, the ladies' efforts to make it. as far as possib'e, self-supporting will be as su cessful as they fife commendable.

Students take Revenge on a Smart Senior, The old saying that " boys will be boys" is as true of the A. & M. college s u ients as elsewhere. As tl e Christmas hoidays approached and examinations drew to a close several of the students indulged themselves in various pieces of "sky-larking" The "scrapes" were kept very quiet though, they thought, and consterna tion resigned anv ng the student body when several students were " had up" by the faculty and their number if demerits considerably increased. Sus picion as to the man who had acted as informant fell on a grand and rever ent senior, named . Suspicion became certainty and the boys deter mined to have revenge. Last evening a number of students visited the various green grocers" establishments and -i procured there from a choice selection of ancient eggs. Then the luckless senior was lured from his room iu the domitory into the hall. All entrances of es cape were cut off and the fun com mended. It lasted until the eggs gav,e out and when they did, the senior, " Oh, where was he." The last seen of the gentleman was when, in the charmingly cool night air, he was prostrated under the oollege pump with a sympathetic fellow senior kind ly working t ho handle. The A. and M's.
