"There is 'consistency' and consistency." Law students pay a tuition fee of twenty-five dollars, while collegiates pay ten. At the beginning of the year some of the laws wished to take a special study under Prof. Canfield, and were much clagrined to find that if they did so they must pay an extra fee of ten dollars, i.e. the regular articulation fee in the University proper. One of the members paid the extra study. It now happened that Prof. Canfield has a class in "law and law tenures", and the senior law class has real estate under Prof. Gleed, Prof. Canfield wishes his class to take the recitations under Prof. Gleed, and had already directed them to enter the class. To this the laws in no way object, and will give to their brother collegiates a most cordial welcome, but they insist that consistency demands that they pay the extra fee of twenty-five dollars.
There was an unusually interesting session of moot court on Wednesday evening. The barristers and attorneys began to arrive early, and at 7:30 were all in their places about the bar. The barristers wore black alpaca gowns standing collars and white ties and each carried a large blue bag, swung carelessly over his shoulder, in which he carried his authorities, court papers, extemporaneous speeches, etc. The attorneys wore no gowns and carried and carried a black bag instead of the blue one. Promptly on time Chief Justice Green entered from the door just back of the bench which leads to his private room. He wore a purple gown, scarlet hood and large white choker. He was closely followed by Justice Summerfield in a black silk gown and powdered wig. As they entered the barristers and attorneys all rose and remained standing respectfully in their places until the Judges had taken their places upon the bench, when they quietly resumed their seats. The first case called was, Rex vs. Pitt which was a whisky case. The prosecution was conducted by barris-
Rice assisted by attorney Edwards, barrister Jacobs with attorney Hobbs at his elbow appeared for the defense. The prosecution introduced as witnesses Messrs. Temperance and Good Citizen, while the defense relied upon the testimony of Messrs. Buncombe, Backbite and Beer Guzzzle. The first question by the defense was objected to by the prosecution as being "regular, irregular, impossible and without immaterial bearing on the case." The objection was overruled to which there was some growling about the "injection" not being sustained. The examination of the witnesses being completed barrister Rice arose with a great deal of trepidation and after deploring his weakness and unworthiness and craving the sufferance of the court, he made a spirited speech in which he quoted, Holy Writ, Shakspeare, Bunyan, Mark Twain and Bro. Gardner indiscriminately. After he had finished barrister Jacobs arose with great dignity—for the attorneys are not allowed to plead in court—and spoke in reply as follows: "It has always been an incoherent principle in my bosom to hold up the hands of oppressed humanity, and I object to these women, preachers and hypocrites interposing what a man can't eat and drink. This man is martyred here by the vituperous conglomerations of this temperance reliance and if you have any bowels of compassion in your soul you will unfetter the mental and moral decrepitude of my client, and your verdict will go thundering down the dark ager as an alabaster foot light to liberty." The judges said as they didn't believe a word that either of the counsel had said, and they were considerably mixed on the evidence, they would take the case under advisement for one week.
Unity Club Excursion.
Unity Club proposes to have an excursion to Kansas City next Saturday, leaving Lawrence in the morning and returning on either the accommodation or the late train Saturday night. They have fixed the rate at the exceedingly low price of $1.50 for the round trip, including admission to the Exposition. The excursion will be under the personal supervision of Mr. Whitman, and it will be the pleasantest way possible to visit the Exposition. It will be almost the last chance to hear Gilmore's famous band, as its engagement closes November 15th. Tickets will be for sale at Gleason & Whitman's, Woodward's drug store and other places, and must be purchased before Friday noon, as the orders for cars has to be sent to Topeka at that time. There will undoubtedly be a large number who will take advantage of this opportunity, and ample arrangements will be made to give comfortable accommodations to all who go.
