ing a new man, and hearing much about the 

 "knock-out" drops, decided that the " poor 

 druggist" was the man who was wholly re- 

 sponsible for this state of affairs. He accord- 

 ingly selected one of his detectives, a former 

 drug clerk, to get the necessary individuals to- 

 gether with Q. S. evidence. The aforesaid drug 

 clerk (?) called on Col. Wade and asked in a 

 familiar way for some chloral to be used in a 

 footbath. A few drachms was dispensed, la- 

 beled poison, and registered. On the following 

 day the colonel was arrested, but discharged 

 when his story was heard. He is now suing 

 the captain. 



Two more '94 boys have "shown their col- 

 ors," to use Mr. Wood's expression, by joining 

 the Alumni. They are Frank Kellar and Robt. 

 F. Murrison, representatives of each of our 

 sections. Clarke has declared his intention of 

 following suit shortly, perhaps on Alumni Day, 

 which has been the customary time for so many 

 of the successful Seniors to hand in their applica- 

 tions, and thus be enabled to elect one of their 

 number Third Vice-President on the same 

 day. 



Alumni Day this year (May 8th) promises 

 to eclipse those of the past few years. Presi- 

 dent Graeser has appointed Herold on the 

 Entertainment Committee. 



Ex -President Ehrgott has joined the 

 Brookh n delegation ; in fact, he has been with 

 them since February, when he began his en- 

 gagement with a Fifth avenue firm.

The following by ex-secretary Linnig, shows 



what an influence Brooklyn air has had upon 



him : 



"TRILBY." 



The land is all ablaze with such a funny craze. 

 Which came to us across the briny ocean; 



It hails from gay Paree, its mission seems to be, 

 To throw our fair ones into wild commotion. 



Tis proper now, we're told, and not considered bold, 



For ladi> s without any hesitation, 

 To slip a Frenchv boot, and show a Trilby foot, 

 To win a lover's looks. of admiration. 



They'll pull the silken hose from off the Trilby toes, 

 And ask for close and critical inspection, 



The nails they manicure, until they feel quite sure, 

 Their pretty feet are models of perfection. 



And many have the the fad, so very, very bad, 

 They almost knock their doting lover's silly, 



BvtalkingTrilby slang, with naughty Frenchy twang. 

 And calling their adorers "Little Iiillie." 



They sit in Trilby pose, in fleecy Trilby clothes, 



And try to imitate the Trilby graces. 

 Their sunny smiles have fled, and now they wear 

 instead, 



A look of Trilby sadness upon thei'. faces. 



Have we not cause to fear, the day is drawing near. 

 When sunitner days brings soft and balmy weather, 



The all-prevailing craze, may bring before our gaze, 

 The Trilby in its startling al-t-g-h-r. 



QeVor G^ss Notes. 



The class had a very interesting visit to 

 Messrs. Parke, Davis & Co. where they were 

 cordially received by Mr. Clay, the manager of 

 the concern. They were then conducted 

 through the huge storehouse with its thousands 

 of specimens of crude drugs of all kinds and 

 qualities. It was a great sight for the boys, 

 many of whom never had an opportunity of this 

 kind before. Dr. Rusby, under whose guidance 

 the trip was made, has the sincere thanks of the 

 class, as has also Mr. Clay, for the many speci- 

 mens so kindly given by him, also the employ- 

 ees for their kindness, and last but not least, 

 the pretty typewriters for their smiling glances. 

 It is reported that many of the boys who in- 

 dulged freely in cassia fistula, discovered its 

 physiological effects later.
