There is likely to be fun. double dis.

night, Of the Phi Kappa Psi fraternity.
The young women of the college and
belonging 10 the college fraternities to
q total of fifty have so.emnly pledged
themselves to sniff the breaihs of every
young man in the room. II it is found
that the fumes of lntox.cants COM

one of them, the young ladies', on a
given signal, will leave the room in. a

will therefore be compelled to do their
dancing by themselves or with such of
the young ladies who remain by reason
Of the fact that their nasal organs are
impervIons TO the odors OF whiskey,
brandy, gin, rum, wines, beer or what
not. The young ladies are in earnest,
SO they declare this morn
Ing, and they have bound themselves
hy terrible combination oath of the
Kappa Cana, Alpha Theta and Pi'
Bsla Phi to stand together, shoulder to
shoulder. Less than month ago the
fifty young women concerned met in
the drawing room OF the wife of an ex-
supreme justice and after decrying the
practice of drinking on the part of the
young men of the university, bound
themselves individually aud their
to leave every party in q
body the moment whiff of liquor was
detected upon any one in the room.
The difficulty Of detecting the taint OF
liquor upon yeuDg mans breath was
discussed at length many OF the
young women declaring that they did
not know the smell of liquor, r,and could
not give the sign. A suggestion that
some intimate man friend should act
as spotter was voted down. Finally q
couple of young women who knew a
lbipg or two volunteered to do the
spotling aud give The desired signal.

The first opportunity that has been

county, to the Effect that insanity can
not be pleaded as a gronnd fer divorce.
either on The part of man or wife, is
said to be the first judicial expression
on this point in tie Judicial history Of
the country. At least, no authorities
have been found where the court has
been asked to pass on the plea OF non
cop,pos nentis as ground for the annul-
men5 OF marriage relations. In the
present case. in which Frank Collier,
the eccentric attorney, was plsintiff, the
question ives raised but indirectly and
the court appears to have gone out OF
its way in laying down its law upon
the point. According to Judge Free
mans point OF view, woman whose
husband becomes raviug idiot, be-
yond hope of recovery. is neverthele ss
tied 10 him for life, while, on the other
hand, If the same man, whether sane
or GRAZ, commits crime that result 8
in his being sent to the penitentiary,
The wife Is hereby privileged to obtain
a divorce immediately. In Eogland,
insanity is recognized as a ground for
divorce, but according to Judge Free
man, q permanent mental afiiiction is
on the same level as an incurable phys
ical ailment, and lunacy is therefore no
more aTlegal cause for divorce than is
consumption or cancer.
