PHI DELTA THETA.

The Proceedings of the Province Convention
at the Session Held Yesterday.
The Epsilon Province convention of the Phi
Delta Theta fraternity, was held at the Grand
Hotel yesterday, and the attendance of repre-
sentatives of the chapters in Michigan and Indiana
was unusually large. The reports from the diff
ferent chapters which were presented at the
morning session were very gratifying, showing
that the active membership of the
eight chapters in the province is 14l, which is
a gain of fourteen over last year. The election
of officers for the next year resulted as follows:
President-John M. Goodwin, Greencastle.
Secretary-Charles Mccoy, Franklin
Treasurer--T. B. Brashear, Hanover.
Warden-I. b. Bates, Lansing, Mich.
Orator.. E. Davidson Hllsdale
Historian-Robert Newland, Indiana University.
Poet-Hugh T. Miller. Butler.
Prophet-W. G. Harding, Wabash.
An address of welcome to the younger mem
bers was delivered by Dr. JAS. S. Jenckes. The
question of civilservice reform in the Oratorical
Association was discussed. 1t was resolved that
the introduction of ward methods in the associ-
The convention strongly deprecated the combina-
ton methods las illustrated in the present con-
test which fraternities have adopted to obtain
the spoils Committees were appointed to pre-
sent the matter of reform to the other fraterni-
ties of the State.
The literary exercises of the convention took
place at the afternoon session, and consisted of
the following "Prophesy." by Charles Fl. Nc
Caslin; oration W. j. Snyder; History of the
Province" Bert Fesler
At the banquet last night about sixty five
persons were at the tables The banquet began
at about midnight and continued far into the
morning.

THE oRAroR1cAL ASSOCIATION.


The Customary Fractional Row Occurs Over
the Election of Officers.
The Indiana State Oratorical Association met
10 annual session yesterday at the Grand Hotel, a
large representation being present. The execu-
tive committee at once went into secret session
for the purpose of examining the credentials of
delegates. It was found, when the Gre
dentials from Bloomington delegates were
read, that two factions existed-com-
posed, first, of the Sims delegates,
and on the other hand, the Phi Delta and barb
combination. The vote being taken as to which
should be recognized, the committee stood two
to two, with the chairman voting for the Sims
delegation When this was announced the Phi
Delta Theta on the executive committee left the
room and gave the word to his faction. These
at once rushed into the room Of the executive
committee The members of fhe aosocia-
ton, except the "barbs" and Phi Delta Thetas,
met in another place and notified the Phi Delta
faction of their place of assembly, in order that
they might have no chance of calling their action
unfair. This notification had the names Of the
president and secretary affixed. That faction
not making its appearance, the association pro-
ceeded with its business, recognizing Sims, and
then elected officers for the ensuing year, as
follows:
President-W. T. Irwin Phi Gamma Delta Hanover
VIC. rresident-D, +. Williamson, Delta Tau Delta
Hanover.
Corresponding secretary-C. w. FAIR. Phi Kappa
Psi De PAW.
Recording Secretary-C. W. Earring, d. X. e., De
Pauw.
Treasurer-E. p. Bicknell, Sigma Chi Bloomington

The Changes Made by the Grand Arch Coun-
Gil In the Fraternity's Constitution.
The first business of the PHI Kappa Psi Grand
Arch Council yesterday morning. was the res
ignation Of w. "A. Eckles. Pennsylvania Theta,
as sergeant-ata arms which was accepted, and E.
G. Merritt, New York Alpha, was selected, by
unanimous consent. to fill the vacancy. The re-
port.of the constitution committee was called
for, and the chairman responded. This commit
tee is composed of w. G. Wilson, Pennsylvania
Beta, chairman; G. L. Van Cleve, Ohio Alpha;
G. w. Dunn. Ohio Delta, and t. S. Monnett
Ohio Alpha the chairman gave a brief review
tee had accomplished. These gentlemen have
held three meetings-at Chautauqua, Columbus
and Delaware, O.-during the year, at which
they compiled new constitution. In the adop-
ton of the new constitution, proposing an almost
entire change Of government and new basis
for further progress, there was much discussion.
The chairman of the committee read the revis-
ion in full, following which came the motion to
adopt. The council then organized itself into
a committee of the whole to report on adoption,
section by section, w. S. Gilmore. Kansas Alpha
being appointed chairman. In the adoption Of
the sections there was considerable discussion
to the best method of retaining the interest of
the alumni. A brief outline of the new form of
government, which was adopted by the conf
mittee Of the whole, is as follows: The executive
is to be vested in the G. A. c., as now, as the
supreme body; the executive council is to be
the real ruling body and is composed
of five alumni and four undergradu-
ates, chosen for, two years by. the
Grand Arch Council. Its officers will be
president. secretary and treasurer, who also
form the executive committee Of the counc il.
The fraternity is divided into four Districts each
governed by an archon, an undergraduate ap-
pointed by the executive council. The First dis
trict comprises the Northeastern States-Penn-
sylvania and New York; the Second, Delaware,
the District of Columbia. Maryland and the
States south of West Virginia and Tennessee,
to the Mississippi; the Third, Ohio Indiana.
Kentucky and Tennessee Fourth. Michigan nli-
nois Wisconsin and west of the Mississippi.
District councils are to be held on years alter
mating with the G. A. G.. It was
decided to hold meetings of these
bodies on the first Wednesday in April,
The practice off initiating preparatory students
was prohibited. The Shield, the fraternity Or
gan. was ordered to be published monthly, I'M
der the supervision of the executive council.
This journal has. been very successfully man
aged by the Kansas Alpha Chapter for the past
year. and the term of its service continues until
April, 1887. Alumni associations were substi-
tuted for regularly chartered alumni chapters,
the necessary number to form an association be-
ing eight.
After continuous session from 2 o'clock in
the afternoon the council adjourned at fifteen
minutes to Z, till o'clock this morning To-
days work will be important elections, and to-
night the banquet will be given at the Bates
House.

Wetzel County Teachers on
Temperance and Tenn
Derance Instruction.

We are glad to clip the follow
ing from the proceedings of the
Wetzel county Teachers Insti-
tute:
Sixth-That we recognize in the
drinking habit relentless foe of
education, morality and virtue, a
destroyer of body and mind and
we believe a correct knowledge
of the effects of alcoholic drinks
upon the human system, is the
best preventive OF drunkenness,
and we consider total abstinence
from the use of intoxicating bev-
erages the only safe rule of Tenn
perance.
Seventh. That we deem it the
duty of the Legislature of this
State to provide for suitable in
struction upon the nature of mar
cotics, and their effects upon the
human system, by requiring phys
iology to be taught in the free
schools of this State, and by adopt.
ing for that purpose, text book,
in which narcotics, their nature,
properties, and results of their uses
as beverage, be fully explained,
and that we believe it to be the
duty of every teacher to abstain
totally from the use of intoxicating
beverages of any kind.

Reading and Swimming.

In these days of making many
books, it is well to acquire the art
of detecting, with as little loss of
time as possible, whether a book or
newspaper article is really worth
the reading that entails careful
thought, Much that is printed is
meant only for passing glance,
hasty perusal-is to be SKINNED
Overland often there is so extreme
ly little cream to be got by the
process-not read Like the Japa-
nese paper napkins, once using is
all that such productions are
worth, all they are intended for.
But let that which deserves read
ing be actually read. not SKINNED
-oe read and digested. 1t is only
by reading with understanding
that Bacon's "full' man is made.

Effects OF Good Reading on Pris
OnerS.

In his annual report to the Com
missioners of the Massachusetts
States Prison, Chaplain W. F.
Barnes takes occasion to speak of
the effects of good reading upon the
minds and morals of the prisoners.
The effect of a good paper or period
icaI, he thinks, is even greater on
one in prison than on one who is
outside. They help to keep up the
prisoners interest in the world and
to check that tendency to intellec.
tual decay which attends solitary,
cherries life. It is noted as an en-
couraging fact that OF the papers
taken in the prison the largest
number of copies circulated are re-,
ligious in character. Two hundred
copies of papers and periodicals are
taken in the prison, and the pris-
on library contains 4,445 volumes,
The average monthly circulation
last year was 2,043.

And vote for Home and Native Land
With justice by apd by.

No more will fill the air;
And old and young will leave their wine
And spurn it everywhere.

And strife will cease, and perfect peace
Will flourish by and by,
Oh, for the Temperance dawning,
Wen work, and vote, and pray,
Till Prohibitions golden light
Shall drive the gloom away.
And when the peaceful glory
Shall food the earth and sky,
No cursed saloon shall flourish then,
