There are few persons in this busy world of ours, who have had a life more full of thrilling inter- est than the man who is to address us to-morrow night, Frederick Villiers. Villiers is the was artist of the London Graphic. IIn a litte book souvenirs of the prince of war correspondents, Archi- bald Forbes, there is an interesting sketch of Villiers' first campaign. It was in the Servian War in 1877 that Villiers, then a boy, was tear- fully entrusted by his mother to the care of Forbes during the cain- paign. Both men threw their fortunes with the Russian Army, and bore together the neglect of blunt old Schaborsky, the want of suitable food and the charges of the Turks. At last in the battle of Radisoro, Villiers, who had been ill and weak all day, was forced to leave the front ranks and retire to assist the surgeons in the rear. When at the close of the day, Forbes sought hire, he was no where to be found nor was there a man who remembered' having seen him. All night Forbes sought for him but to no avail, and in the morning there came tidings that the Turks had crept into the vill- age of Radisoro, and slaughtered every man there. With a heavy heart Forbes abandoned the quest and set out for the telegraph sta- tion at Bucharest, where lie re- solved to give one day to fortune before telegraphing to the mother in London the sad fate of her son. But while dining in the garden of the hotel Forbes was startled by hearing a familiar voice call out, "Waiter, quick - dinner ; I'm beastly hungry." It was Villiers; he had been asleep in an ambu- lance wagon in Radisoro.

Freshman Independent Caucus. The Independents of '94 met in Apha Nu Hall last eveiing to select candidates for Saturday's election. The meeting was graced by the presence of four charming co-eds, probably the first time in the history of the University that co-eds have at- tended a freshman caucus. A. D. Rathibone was selected chair- man pro tem, and Gower secre- tary. After deciding that the candi- date for president should, if elected, agree to resign his posi- tion if lie decided to join a fra- ternity, an informal ballot was taken for president which resulted in 14 votes each for Mr. Lobe and Mr. Ricketts. On the sec- ond informal ballot Lobe's sup- porters numbered 18, Ricketts' 14, and Lyons' 10. Wire-pulling now commenced in earnest and on the third ballot Ricketts re- ceived 25 votes, Lobe 19, and Lyons 9. A formal ballot was next taken, giving Ricketts 32 votes, Lobe 27 and Lyons 7. None receiving a majority another ballot was ordered. The sup- porters of Lyons now combined with those of Lobe against the Continued on third page.
