Local Brevities

Yesterday was the great final ilay of the laws, at the U. ot M. Supper v;as served to an "even" 40 Odd Fellows, at Germania hall last Friday evening. Judge and Mrs. E. D. Kinnegave a very elegant reception at Granger's hall last evening. About 35 buys and giris partouk of their nrsc holy commuuiou at St. Thomas' church, Sunday morning. M. C. I'eterson began Iris new house on Liberty street on Saturday. The cellar has been excavated. Ottie M. Hiilis, niece of Miss Clark, 48 North Main street, has j come to spend the summer with her. The Germania under its present energetic management is being placed ia elegant shape for firstj class custom. Mrs. Pártelüw, of Danville, 111., is an attendant at commencement exercises, her son, Mr. Gus. Partelovv, bciiig a !aw gradúate. The campus was grandly illuminated last evening and band music and promenade made the scène one of enchantment. This send-off was the incarnation of a new idea with the senior'lits. Dr. Boone, Sunday evening delivered in an able manner and before a large audience, the Normal baccalaureate address. The f uil Normal Choir under Prof. Pease, charmed the audience with music. The Times pronounces the Atlantis - News ball game at Ypsilanti last week "a rotten game" and "the essence of putrefaction." The attention of the board of health is invited to this gross violation of the sanitary ordinance. A number of Toledo wheelmen reached Ann Arbor by rail Sunday, made the triangle on their "bikes" and arrived at the Germania after the storm looking as though they had been washed in the Missouri and never wrung out. President Angeli's baccalaureate address, subject "The Cultivation of Character," was worthy of the scholarly, thoughtful mind from it which emanated. An abstract would do its author injustice and we shall not attempt to epitomize. Ex-Supervisor James Page, of Lodi, while in the city, Saturday, was overeóme by the heat and feil from his wagon. He was gathered up with sundry bruises and a fractured shoulder. He was attended by Dr. Breakey and afterwards removed to his home. Thê enterprising little daughter of barber Trojanowski, of E. Huron street, Sunday morning busied herself for a short time with falling out of a rear window and landing in the basement, the trap of which was open. The little one was fïshed up with a few bruises and a strong desire to see mamma, but was not very seriously injured. At the regents meeting last evening $300 was appropriated for cataloguing books in the libraries. The committee on buildings and grounds reported favorably on adding to the capacity of the law building to embrace a book room, seminjry and librarian rooms. The job of reroofing the museum was awarded to a Detroit ñrm for $4,750. The '94 lit banquet of base-ball bangers was held Friday evening in Nickels' hall. Toasts were responded to by Messrs. Lyons, Shields, Chickering, Krogman, Spalding, Ward, Kirk, Adler, Cadwell, Pine and Ottaway, Mr. Wedemeyer acting as toastmaster. Oíd times were discussed, knuckle dislocations exhibited, and many a sigh was heaved over the decadence of public sentiment which no longer applauds the unlimited kicking of the umpire. Dr. Herbert Tuttle, Professor of Modern History, in Cornwell University, died Tuesday last week, 'following an illness of several months. Dr. Tuttle will be remembered as tne able instructor in International Law, in the UniverI sity of Michigan during the absence ' of President Angelí in China, in 1S80-81. His death is aserious loss 1 to the literary and scientific world. The Argus is informed by Mr. Andrew Gibson, that in referring to I the corapetitors of Gen. Spalding I for congressional norr.ination, it was guilty of a misdemeanor in calling , them "rindy pachyderms." On re' flection we believe the "rhinocerü" j have a grievance, as they were the I sufferers by the comparison. We ' aim to make the apology as conspicuous as the libel. The senior literary class will hold class day exercises under the Tap! pan Oak, at 2 o'clock this afternoon. Minnis' Orchestra will furnish mujSicfor the occasion. The follow ing literary program will be carried out: Oration, Wm. W. Wedemeyi er; poem, J. Raleigh Nelson; history, Frederick L. Osenburg; prophj ecy, Marian U. Strong; president's address, Daniel F.

Philip Kaeser, an aged farmer, Sunday morning started to church, and was afterward found dead beside his cart, having apparently been overeóme by the heat. An inquestwas held before Daniel Seyler, Drs. Kapp and Belser being called. Heart disease and overheat were ascribed as the causes of death. Funeral today at the home of Chris Nagel, for whom deceased worked. Mr. and Mrs. Lew H. Clement entertained the Chequamegon orchestra and several of their musical friends, Monday evening, at their residence. An impromptu concert was given by the orchestra and others. Several of the student members of the orchestra gradúate this year and the evening was spent in recalling the many pleasant experiences of the members while here and discussing the prospects of the future. Friday evening at the A. M. E. church, Joe Sims - he says he is no professor - plain Joe Sims without frills, scollops or fire escapes, will sing and play the piano at a church social. Mr. Sims has come all the way from Australia to grace this Friday evening with his presence, and asks the Argus to make a gratuitous notice of his advent. The Argus is not run as a charitable institution, but Joe looks like a person whose genius is in inverse ratio to his cash and he gets the notice. The fact that he disclaimed the title of professor, was the turning point in his favor. Edward Muehlig, last Thursday, made a race against time equaled in speed only by Senator Chandler's flight from Buil Run. He went through the city ordinance against fast driving, as easily as a circus rider through a hoop. The horse, which is shy on one side, took fright and Muehlig lost control of the steering gear and away went the aggregation down E. Liberty street to Fourth avenue, when the driver selected a good place and feil out. The horse turned a corner, smashed the rig and drew up in front of Schuh & Muehlig's store, with a here's-what's-left-of-us air. As soon as Muehlig gets a little time he is going to "shy" the horse on the other side and if possible line him up to the republican doctrine of keeping "in the middle of the road."
