If the sun shonc bright from day to-day
And clouds its brightness meier obscured
We'd all complain, for tits our way;
Its brightness scarce could be endured.
But the clouds come forth and the lain
beats down,
And earth's enshrouded in the gloom;
The lowering clouds look DER and frown
And the worlds dark mis- rable tomb
But to day the sun shines doubly bright,
For yesterday twas darl ness fling;
Our souls respond to natures touch
In their gratitude His praises sing.

GUARDIAN APPOINTED.
Judge Grants Application in Case OF
Moses Fowler Chase sensa-

Cincinnati, April 27.-Judge Nippert
Saturday appointed George Hoadly as
guardian of the person and estate of
Moses Fowler Chase. A similar case
for the appointment of his father had
been previously set for Lafayette
next Monday. The father of Moses
Fowler Chase was represented by
Harris, Hammond and Sims, of H.
diana, and by Probasco, Paxton
and Warrington, of Cincinnati, who
held that suit was already set
for next Monday at Lafayette
seeking similar purpose. They
showed that all the young mans
property is on the tax dupli-
cate in Indiana. The other side
showed Moses Fowler's long residence
here with his aunt, Mrs. Duhme, and
that when he appeared in court to
discard his fathers name he swore
he was resident of this city, and
had not since resided in Indiana.
Applicants denied Moses was insane
when taken to France, but that he
had since become insane while pur-
sued by detectives and others. The
arguments occupied most of the time,
the only witnesses being Mrs. Duhme
and Cincinnati newspaper men who
had been working on the case at
Lafayette. AT noon Judge Nippert
granted the application and appoint
ed George Hoadly guardian both of
the person and of the estate. Sensa-
