The Unity Club.
Last Monday evening the Unitarian Church, in spite of rain and mud, was filled by an audience of town and university folk. The occasion was the celebration of "Washington Day," and, though a trifle premature, was none the less a patriotic celebration.
Music aid addresses constituted the program. Prof. J. H. Canfield occupies the greater part of the evening with a carefully prepared talk entitled, "The Man and the Occasion." Prof. Canfield's remarks were highly interesting and were well received by the audience, but the tinge of pessimism (shall we call it?) which Hon. S. O. Thacher took occasion to differ with, was, to some ultra patriotic minds, not sufficiently in line with tail-teacher pulling practices of such celebrations.
Hon. S. O. Thacher's talk on the constitution was full of strength and feeling and was undeniably American and patriotic. Hon. Ed Russell and Prof. Marsh occupied the little remaining time with some pleasing and pertinent remarks about Madison and Hamilton. Prof. Marsh's suggestion as to Hamilton's ideas of a government which should "work" is a good point. The music under the leadership of Mr. J. Albert Davis was good, showing considerable training in the chorus work. Miss Hutchings' singing was enthusiastically received, her voice showing off well in the simple melody so well known and loved. The whole affair was successful and reflects great credit on the Unity Club and its energetic management.

Senator Evarts Declines.
Chancellor Lippincott lately received the following communication from Senator Evarts which explains itself:
WASHINGTON, D. C., APRIL 18, 1889.
MY DEAR CHANCELLOR LIPPINCOTT—When after much misgivings as to my ability to control my time and obligations as far ahead as June next, I authorized Senator Ingalls to write to you of my readiness to accept the agreeable invitation you had sent me, I feared that somewhat uncertain, but paramount circumstances might arise that preclude me from making the visit to Kansas which I so much desired to make. I find myself at the opening of this month confronted with the situation which I had hoped to escape, and have only delayed since the 1st instant in sending my regrets that I could not be at liberty to take part in your coming commencement celebration by an effort to extricate myself from what I had wished might not be imperative obligations. I now feel that I cannot longer entertain any prospects of its being in my power to come out to Kansas this summer and therefore with great regret at my disappointment of your kind expectations, I must dismiss any hope that I can enjoy the University occasion which I would so gladly take part in. I cannot doubt that you will be able to supply the place I might have occupied, with an acceptable orator, and am
My dear sir your obedient servant,
Wm. M. EVARTS.
