Almost every institution is condu t- iUK a special journal in it- own inter est, with uiore or less of literaty as piration. Lafayette 1- by 110 means 1M hind in tins respect. In Jit enter ed into the lists. The first production was the annual publication long known as "The Melange." It i- issued every Spring in the form of an octavo vol ume ot about *2OO page-, full c;f th< miscellanea of the college, with all the details of college life, stud- nt ap pointments, and constitutes a general catalogue for the year of such things as every young man wants to know about.

C A. entertainments was held in the new Schwab Auditorium Saturday night December 5. The Lulu Tyler (iates Company were the entertainers. The company consists of Lulu Tylei <»at• s, reader; Helen Carter McConnell, <•»m tralto; Marie Ludwig, harpi-t and ac companist and H. Beime Denton, clarinet and saxophone. Kvory one of the four is an excellent performer,and the entertainment as a whole whs a marked success. The Rev. Win. C. I'owick of Colum bia delivered a sermon in Chapel, Sun day Dec. 5. The meeting of the V. M. C \ on Suuday night Dec. 5 was a vi ry sue cessful one. Mr. Cassidy, Princeton 'OB, sang and Prof Pattee spoke Lehigh Students as Burnt Cork Artists. If the consciousness of having >"nr ed a great success, financially and histrionically, is conducive of sound sleep, then the Burnt-Cork artist- of the Lehigh University Minstrel aggrc Ration most have enjoyed -v\e. th ■ pose. The Grand Opera House wa- tilled on Saturday night with members til the Faculty, Undergraduates ami friends of Lehigh University.ami from start to finish the representative audi - i ence was auiu-ed, entcitaineil and pleased. The performance exceeded the previous seven performance - ot tie Lehigh University minstrels. The jokes wore the real thing, the singing was first class, and the spec ialties were up to date, and they were interspersed with college yells The curtain rose to the last sweet I note of "Alma Mater" by the entire company. There was the usual Minstrel setting , twenty or more members of the chorus , arranged in a semi-circle on two tiers. They wore the conventional full dress suits and black tits, which with their burnt-cork faces, made the boy look much Africanized. The members of the chorus were Mendoza 03, Mussina. <>4. Sheesely, (•4, Monie, 04, Cunningham, 04, Hend ricks, 05, Berg, 05, Corsa. 05, Theo dore*Augle,os, Johnson, 05, Karnshaw. 05, Browning,os, Luders, (Hi, Wheatly, | ofi, Watson, (Mi, Tunstall, (Hi, Bach man, itf. Brown, 07, Pur-el Angle, 07, Highe, 07, Smith, 07. A number ol the men received handsome bouquet from the vegetable garden- of the Bethlehems. Interspersed with jokes that brought down the house the following -ongs were rendered with very good effect. "I wants a Man like Romeo, 1 Deane ; "My Lady Moon," Mendoza, "I'm a Jonah MUD," Payne ; "There's Nobody Just Like You," Theodore Angle; "You Needn't Come Home," John son My Palm Leaf Maid," Tracy; "Down Tampa Way," Pur-el Angle; " Would'ut that Make you Hungry," Kirk. The songs of Theodore Angle with the quartet finale, and the songs of Pursel Angle with the octette finale, were exceptionally fine. The afterpiece was all to the good, as was evidenced J,hy the hearty ap plauso which followed us prese»ta tion. Probably a better pleased audi ence never left the Urand Opera House than that «»f Saturday night South Bethlehem Daily Globe. TO CURE A COLI) IN ONE DAY.

I could not h p I• 'thing a sigh of relit : Death had at last loosed my tongui . enabling me lo make public the facts concerning a m -tery >if years long ago. One May morning some tluru years ago Henry Alnsworth, the wealthy an tiquarj was found totill, don- to i death In hl> bed. Tin ». w> re living in the house at the time ttir>••• persons tie sides the victim Ilebecca Ainswnrth. j the antiquary's maiden si~t• •: a spin ster of fifty years; an old butler and a maid servant. As a professional ile j tective my Urst care w is to interrogate j these carefully. Neither of the servant- had honed a sound on the night of tin- murder Both j had retired at 11 o'clock, about an , hour after the master of the house had i sought his couch, and both had slept j peacefully until 'i o'clock, when they j had been awakened by a shriek from j Miss Alnsworth. That lads testified that she and her j ! brother had remained In the library i until 10 o'clock. At that hour her broth- j er bade her good night, and they went I to their rooms. Miss Alnsworth further j ' Informed me that -die had slept nn ! til nearly »I o'clock, when, as was her ; custom, she dressed and went to knock \ lon her brother's door, for he also was un early riser. Happing two or three times and receiving no reply, she open j ed the door and was so alarmed at what she saw that she uttered the cry which startled the servants. Mr. Ainsworth had been 'tabbed bv ; a dagger, one ot a set ot oriental wa-ap- | ous he hail coll. .ted while on a tour of the east. The murderer mu>t have been in the library to have obtained it, and to the library we accordingly went. It was a high, oak paneled chamber, only called a library by courtesy. There were a few hooks in evidence, but most of the space was tilled with wonderful and curious objects On a small table in an alcove were several skulls labeled and ticketed, marking every stage In evolution, from the cra nium of a I'utagonian to that of a fa mous scholar. The oaken walls were ' covered with weapons, primitive, me diaeval and modern. Ranged under a lofty mantel stood four caskets con taining mummies from Egypt. Im ages from Hindoo, Aztec, Iturinese and i Chinese temples were scattered about ' the room. What especially impressed me was an image about four feet and a half high, apparently of <ome dull bronze marble. Its hands were folded placid ly on its breast, but the features form- | ed a terrible contrast to the repose of the figure. The eyes were w ide open and bore an expression of hi'en-e hate, i The upper lip was raised in a snarling fashion, disclosing fair-dike to. th The j nostrils were dilated. One ■ mild not repress a shudder wl .le gazing on thi~. silent statue. Miss Alnsworth informed me that It | was not really a statue, a< I had sup- , posed, but a petriii-'d man.the bodj ol an old Hindoo fakir unearthed by her brother while engaged on s..in- ••>. .na tions In India. I'lie antiquary had told her that he had smuggled it out of i the country, as the natives venerated it as a god and had threatened his life If he disturbed it | Wllkle Collins' story of"The Moos stone" flashed into my mind as 1 heard : this. At once I formed the theory that possibly some superstition- Hindoo had murdered the antiquary, the object being to recover the petriticd man and take him back to India. An Interesting piece of information j was volunteered by Miss \insworth. who told me that about * o'clock the I morning after the murder she had en tered the library and had observi tl a smear of blood on the mouth •>! the im age. Neither of the two window sin the library had been found open, and the door was shut as usual. At Miss Alnsworth's solicitation I consented to sleep in the house After dinner In the evening 1 made my way to the library, where 1 enjoyed a per fecto and spent two hours e\ mining the curios. I was about togo to my room when I was startled by hearing a low, hiss ing noise, like a long drawn sigh. The sound seemed to come from the image, ! and I at once conceived the idea that this was hollow and that a man might be hidden In it. I tried to move the pedestal, but could not. The thought of a secret entrance Into the room then occurred to me, and I tapped all over the paunellng, but everything sound ed true, ltutiled, I stood in the center of the room and gazed slowly around. While not superstitious, I confess I experienced an tin asy feeling as 1 stood in that silent chamber. I was con vinced that the key to the riddle of Henry Ainsworth's death was conceal ed 111 the room, and I decided that It was my duty to spend the niulit there j and to keep wide awake. I lighted a fresh cigar, pick -d up a book (oddly enough Mrs. Crowe's "Might Side uf Nature'') and composed myself to read. Kiuhralling as the vol ume was 1 soon found my interest in it flagging. Yet I did not fall sleep my nerves were too keenly on edge to admit of slumber. Ilow long I sat mo tionless I do not know What I do know is that 1 wa~ thinking deeply and that my head was bowed as i- my custom when perplexed ii may have been a few minutes, it may have been an hour, when I wa- -tattled by a sound of some one grinding his teeth Instantly I looked up. Before me stood tin shrivt li d form of the petrilied Hindoo, quick with the breath of life, hi- c\,» ,ibla/ and a knife in liis upr; -<! hand. 111 that momi nt 1 le Id tin .lut,mi of the \iii-- wortll my si •• \ S I hii:: d.

A GOOD THING GIY IT A PU H. LJVONA CAMP, PA. APKIL ~L, L'.oj. MOVER BROS. DKAR SIR - I think that every man that has a team of horses or any stock, ought to havea bottle of Moyer s White Liniment in the stable or his house. I had a horse that stepped in a hole with his front foot, coming down the mountain with a trail of props, ami fell forward and strained his shoulder blade. That it swelled so fast that we could hardly get the collar off, and in two hours his neck was swollen to all the skin would hold. We used your White Liniment freely.and in a few days he was to work again, and does not show any sitrns of lameness. It worked like magic Respectfully Yours, J. A. BARTHAST. Hr.
