could always tell in the morning
whether it would rain that day and
he could always tell as night whether
it had ramed. The moral in this

Some Peculiar Suits.

Mary Trout has begun suit against william F.
Trout to recover $333.5O, the circumstances OF
the case being somewhat peculiar. The COM
plant alleges that in 1876 the plaintiff who
sided at Acton, intrusted to the defendant the
sum of $780, to be taken TO Harrson's Bank,
THE city, and deposited to her credit, and it is
fdrther alleged that he failed to do this, but
converted the money co his own use, and has
since refused to pay it. However, he afterward
gave to the mother of the plaintiff promissory
note for 5000, but it is claimed that this was
never accepted in payment for the original sum.
Judgment is asked for the $3.50. and interest for
seven years.
Michael Shuthies has begun suit against Jacob
Voegtle, asking $1,000 damages. 1t is claimed
in the complaint that the defendant, by his per-
sOnal endeavors and testimony, caused the
plaintiff to be adjndged insane and sent to the
asylum, so that he (Voegte) might appropriate
and get patented in his own name certain inven-
tOns which Shulthies had made, and which he
accordingly did, and is making money out Of
them.

COMMENCEMENT SEASON.
Several Schools Conclude the Work
of the Year.


The literary societies at Butler University are
holding high carnival this week. Last night the
usual large audience, stirring music and fra
grant decorations were the inspiring surround
ings with which the Pythonian society held its
twenty-seventh annual exhibition and diploma
granting exercises. NJ. A. Morrison, of the class
of 49, chairman of the evening, introduced the
speakers with dignity. The society presented
its best material, and the programme rendered
was the outgrowth OF research and careful pre-
paration. ]. A. KOntz, in his Grafton on "Puri-
tans and Puritanism," was both just and elo
quent. He said PuriGanism came into the
shore in its greatest splendor in America
Its work will not be accomplished until ciyiliza-
ton is free from master and slave, in
religion, morals and politics Lutte c.
Breedon, in his essay on the PHILOSOPHY
of Progress" welcomed the unrest and dis
satisfaction which cause men to abandon dog
mas and to discard false theories. Dissatisfac-
ton and retrogression are the elements leading
TO progress-a continual round of action and
reaction. Mr.. Breedon endeared himself to the
audience by using well clear, strong voice. G.
G. Riley acclaimed 1.-THE Dying Alchemlst." He
controlled his voice excelently, and not a sylls-
BILE of his performance fell unheeded. Sherman
E. Burgess, IN a worthy essay on 'National
sympathy held that all animals OF a class ex-
hibit certain sympathy for each other, and
this characteristic in man causes race prejudices
TO yield and cements barbaric people into civil
ICED nations. The time approaches when the
golden thread Of human sympathy shall bind
heart to heart and mind to mind, the wide world
over. Lot d. Guff1n convinced the reason of the
audience by his strong argument on the Jury
system" he held that crime not dimin-
ishing; that the penalties of the law suffi-
cient, and therefore the Legislative power is not
blameworthy; that the blame must rest against
the power that applies the law. The jury sys-
TEN is failure; it entails heavy expense; it
leads to many and long trials; 1t depends upon
the Ign ORANGE or misinformation OF the twelve
men for justice, and its decisions involved
in uncertainty Nineteenth century progress
demands surer method and swifter
punishment in dealing with criminals. The
remedy might be found in trained
jury of the judiciary. Mr.. Guffn
was eminently practical In his remarks, and his
performance will rank with any production of
the commencement week.
The society graduated two members, Thomas
Iden and NJ. A. Morrison, each of whom has been
connected with the society throughout his col
leRe career. To them, in behalf Of the Pythoni-
ans, John b. Kuhns, IN speech OF noble mean
ing, presented the society's diploma. Mr.. Iden
responded, and the closing words were eloquent
ly appropriate.
This morning the Demia Butler Society will
give it's exhibition at 10 O'Clock, and tonight
the Philokurians will hold their graduating
ercses. The class-day frolic will occur this
afternoon.
