EDITORS DAILY CRIMSON. - There seems to be a tendency among the proprietors of various tobacco shops of the city and vicinity to display in their windows photographs of our champion athletic organizations. This in itself, seems decidedly out of place, but when these pictures and the cheap frames around them are stamped with certain brands of cigars, and are thus made into advertisements, it seems as though the practice ought to be stopped.

His main historical points were statistics in regard to immigration and the control of the "Six Companies," by which he claimed Chinese...
...must not be confused with the disgraceful struggles which occur at some colleges between the sophomore and freshman classes en masse. It is merely a species of wrestling by representatives of the two classes for the possession of three canes. A heavy weight, middle weight, and light weight champion is selected from each class. At the appointed time, a great crowd collects in a ring on the campus, and then the heavy, middle, and light weight couples contest seperately for the canes. Last Tuesday the annual cane spree occurred at Princeton. The first spree, the light weight...
