CLOSE OF THE CONVENTION. Th. Plii Kappa Psi Grand Arch Connell Concludes Its Work and Adjourns. The Phi Kappa Psi Grand Arch Council found ft necessary to go into committee of the whole again at the opening of the morning session, yesterday, and by-laws extending chapter jurisdiction were recommended for adoption. As Chairman Wilson, of the constitution committee, closed the report he was greeted with great applause. When the committee of the whole rose, and Chairman Gilmore reported the action favorably, the motion made on Thursday was then broueht up and passed unanimously, to adopt the report A motion was offered by the Grand Arch Council in behalf of the Phi Kappa Psi fraternity, returning the thanks of the fraternity to its constitution committee, which waa unanimously passed, amid applause and cheers. The new constitution becomes the organic law of the fraternity. and goes into effect July 1, 1886. Provisions were made for raising sufficient money to publish the catalogue. The committee appointed on the matter refused a charter to Purdue University. Advisory committees Were appointed on* the placing of chapters in six institutions. The council tnst at 12 o’clock at the court-house steps; and was photographed in a group. At the afternoon session, Washington, D. C. ,was chosen as the next meeting place of the G. r A. C. A resolution was offered recommending ito the executive council early action on the revision and extension of the ritual. The report of the committee on orator and poet for the next banquet recommended Governor J. B. Foraker and K. J. Burdette. The report of the commits tee on selecting members and officers of the executive council was accepted. These are: President—Gov. J. B. Poraker, Ohio Alpha and New York Alpha. Secretary— W. 0. Wilsou, Pennsylvania Beta. Treasurer—G. W. Dunn, Ohio Delta. Members of Committee—E. P. Smith. G. D. Gotwald, Pennsylvania Epsilon; T. P. Shaw, Pennsylvania Beta. First district; J. A. Engle, Virginia Alpha, Hecond district; W. J. McCormick, Indiara Beta, Third district: P. B. Hollenbeck, Michigan Alpha, Fourth district. For district councils the places of the first meetings were: First District—Harrisburg, Pa. Ssoond District—Charlottesville, Va. Third District—Delaware, O. Fourth District—Chicago. 111. C. L. Van Cleve, Ohio Alpha, was elected editor of the Shield for the year, from April, 1887, to 1888, by a unanimous vote. Speeches were made by C. L. Van Cleve, W. C. Wilson and G. W. Dunn. The committee on trials reported that nothing had been presented to them. At half-past 5 o’clock the Grand Arch Council ftloced its deliberations.

THE BANQUET. Whe Happy Conclusion of the Grand Arch Council’s Three Days* Session. At 9:30 o’clock seventy-five delegates to the Graud Arch council from the eastern to the western coasts of the States sat down to the banquet prep< rsl for them at the Bates House. Many were compelled to leave on the evening trains or the number doubtless would have been larger. The menu was elegant, and was well served. Flowers adorned the tables and the oottonholes of the gentlemen, while the orchestra furnished music throughout the banquet A telegram was read from Washington, D. C., Alpha and Beta congratulating the fraternity 7WHI Shanking them for the honor of placing the next Grand Arch council at their place. A better was read from Governor Foraker, which as greeted not only with applause but with learty cheers. A private letter from Robert Burdette caused much laughter. Hon. W. H. Calkins acted as toast-master, and first announced the welcome address, which was responded to by W. L. Taylor, of Indiana Beta. His remarks were well received. He said that he need scarcely welcome the Phi Kaps to Indianapolis, for he felt that the Hoosier combined in himself Yankee and Western, Southjrn and Northern bones, and all were heartily welcome. John L. Griffiths, of lowa Alpha, lappily responded. E. E. Hendee, >f Indiana Alpha, gave the oration. He spoke of.the boy as he crows up, graphically iescribing his departure for college, his college life—digressing to speak of ruining genius—his entrance into a fraternity, his graduation, and his success in life. The mother is the first to instill the right in his bosom, and the mother is the first to tench him the Phi Psi principles. The poem, by H. M. Watts,Pennsylvania Theta, followed, and was well received. “Phi Kappi Pm" was responded to by F. B. Hollenbeck, Michigan Alpha. E. C. Shafer responded to 'The G. C." (Grand Chapter.) The brethren heard Irora the “Shield” through editor E. C. Little, ami, last on the programme. R. J. Murray talked for the ‘•Alumni.” Several impromptu toasts were offered and responded to. Songs were interspersed, led by C. A. Marple. ot Ohio Delta. At a late hour the assembly broke up. THE ORATORICAL, ROW. Probability that the Factional Fight Will Result in the Association Disbanding. The State Oratorical Association is badly disrupted, as a result of the disgraceful row between the rival factions from the State University, and there is some probability that the organization will go to pieces. An unsuccessful effort was made yesterday to bring together the rival factions upon some basis of compromise. All interested consented to the payment of the expenses of the contest, which amounted to $453, leaving on hand a balance of S4B from the receipts of Thursday night. It is claimed that the trouble at the meeting on Thursday afternoon originated from the action of the executive committee in constituting itself the authority to pass on credentials, so that the question was simply one of whether or not the old executive officers, belonging to the beaten factions, would resign power or would revolutionize the organization. AMUSEMENTS. KNOLISH’S—THE JUVENILE “MIKADO.” Those prime favorites of the Indianapolis pubmc, the Hollywoods, entertained a very large audience at English’s Opera-house last night. “The Mikado” had been presented in every shape but this one, and it took immensely well In the microscopic form. The Yum-Yum of Baby Clara, who is a babe indeed in years, was indescribably funny and pretty. It must be seen to be appreciated. Little Dick waa equally good as Ko-ko, in which he was particularly tappy, giving it an interpretation that many an elder person could not better. The Nanki-Poo of Lizzie Hollywood was a very artistic piece of acting, and won the admiration of all. James Randolph did Poo-Bah in excellent style, his height furnishing a very amusing contrast with the diminutive Ko-Ko of Little Dick. The Katisha of Marion Fleming was good, as in fact Was the performance as a whole. The choruses and stage business, the scenery and costuming, were ail that could be desired. There is enough business in this presentation of “The Mikado” to make it thoroughly enjoyable, and Kobody that wants to see some very precocious .ad clever children in a pretty play should fail 0 see this company. It will be presented this itertoou is the matinee and again to night

Children will especially enjoy this entertainment, while older foike will find enough fun in it to last for weeks. NOTES. The next attraction billed for English’s is for the latter half of next week, when Murray & Mnrphy will present “Oar Irish Visitors.” “His Sin,” which has enjoyed a big ran at the Moseutn this week, closes its engagement with the matinee and to night’s performance. The engagement of “Zozo, the Magic Queen,” at the Grand, closes this evening, with the usual matinee this afternoon, for the particular benefit of the little folks, who should be given the opportunity to see this wonderful reproduction of fairy land. They will never forget its many marvelous beauties. The Zoo is to have a type-setting “tournament” next, on which occasion SIOO in money will be the prize, besides three smaller prizes to the three next to the best It is said that representatives of the local dailies have already entered for the contest, and there is promise of considerable interest in the match. Sol Smith Russell, the comical genius whose easy-going and original ways and striking peculiarities make him one of the roost amusing comedians before the pnblic, will play an engagement at the Grand the first part of next week, in his new comedy, “Felix McKusick,” which is said to be extravagantly funny and well suited to him. The advance sale indicates good audiences, Mr. Russell being very popular in Indianapolis. THE RECORD OF TflE COURTB. United States District Court. Bon. W. A. Woods. Judge.

A Painter's Frightful Fall. Charles F. Oliver, a painter, living at No. 273 West Merrill street, yesterday morning fell from a scaffold to the ground, a distance of twenty-five feet, crushing his skall, His recovery is possible, but not probable. He is thirty years old, and had been married but a short time. He had just recovered from a severe illness, and to his weakness from this is attributed his fall. Struck with a Spittoon. Ollie Harter, of No. 31 Clinton street, was struck on the side of the head with a spittoon, last evening, by *Hubb Haven, a street peddler.

Arrested for Grand Larceny. Wm. Lawton, Owen Brown and Wm. Johnson, colored, were • arrested last evening, charged with grand lareeny. Johnson had some clothing and jewelry which has been identified ns stolen goods. Singing Out of Tune. Alusical Critic in Albany Express. “Singing out of tnne,” says Armand Semple, “is not always to be attributed to defect of eaL □or is it a permanent defect. It may arise from one of many causes, such as indigestion, however produced, severe bodily fatigue, undue emotion, over-practice, ill-health, and, in fact, any cause producing temporary derangement of the vocal organs.” In my opinion, one of the chief causes of faulty intonation is the extravagant employment of extreme high notes, by which means they lose their mire tone, being enfeebled by the overstrain, which makes them deficient in sustaining and supporting power. Just think of the result of constantly stretching a piece of elastic, and you have an exact instance of what takes place when the vocal cords are continuously put on the strain which is necessary in the production of high tones. ■ * Inclined To Be Reckless.

THE INDIANAPOLIS JOURNAL, SATURDAY, APRIL 10, 1886.

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPL . Tlie High-School Course of Study. To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal: 1 see that much interest is being shown jnst now in the High-school course of stndy in Indianapolis, and I have received a copy of the present course, with the request that I would state what I would want a child of mine to study. This is a move in the right direction, for although it would be an utter impossibility, as well as an absurdity, to please every one, “in the multitude of counselors there is wisdom.” In examining your present course of study I discover one very serious mistake, a mistake which calls for some earnest criticism. In the prescribed course there is no study which deals with life, no reference to the great subject of biology, a subject which is attracting a vast amount of attention in the world to-day, and one that can be made most fascinating and disciplinary to children. The idea of naving required physics and chemistry and no required biology is simply a lopsided arrangement and does not tend at all to the cultivation of that balance of powers which is the true theory of a liberal education. The observation of living things is one of the most natural impulses of the child and should be carefully cultivated. I would present most strenuous objections were a child of mine stunted in this direction, for not oniy does it develop a part of his mental muscle which is not reached in any other way, but it is of immense practical importance in every pursuit in life. To observe, and to reason and act upon observation, is the very secret of success. The subject, too, is one so easily presented to children, for an impulse of nature is on the side of the teacher, and the study becomes, not a task, bat a delight Os course this does not have reference to the dry-ao-dust details of a text-book, but the study of nature as she ought to be studied, by contact with living forms themselves. Os the biological studies, botany suggests itself as by far the most convenient and complete in its application. Plants crow everywhere, are easily obtained, are pleasant to handle; things which are not always true of zoological subjects. A thorough course in botany will develop all the biological principles necessary, and the same principles can afterwards be applied to animals if thought proper. Suggesting a method of studying the subject, children can be set to examining seeds, such as beans, corn, etc., twigs of trees, buds, roots, leaves, and afterwards flowers, and can tell what they find. In this easy and interesting way young pupils can be led along to both discipline and information, with very little that is distasteful about it. In looking over the scheme of study, I would suggest that botany be introduced as a required study into the first year, taking the place, most probably, of physical geography. Three months in the spring will give an excellent start, and if that could be supplemented by another three months in the fall,' the course would be very complete for a High-scbool. The method of teaching would have to depend upon the teacher, but any one acquainted with the subject can make it exceedingly interesting and profitable. It should be distinctly understood that this is not a plea for botany in the Highschool, but a plea for tho great subject of biology, of which botany is the most convenient exponent. With living nature all around inviting us to study, with the mind, before it has become dis torted by a lopsided training, naturally inclined to question it, it is not only unwise, but unnatural and wrong not to permit young pupils to enter upon its study. John M. Coulter. Crawfordsville, Ind.

Newsboys’ Home. To tho Editor of tho Indianapolis Journal: Permit me to answer through your columns some of the inquiries which have come to us, in regard to the Newsboys' Home openod by the Young Peoples’ Christian Temperance Union. The enterprise has thus far been a decided success. An average of fifty boys daily enjoy the privileges of the room; those who do not attend school spending most of their leisure time and enjoyine heartily the games, books and papers donated by several kind friends: and the genial, helpful society and advice of the young ladies in charge. The influence of such association is already evident. The wash-room is the first attraction after entering the room —a place much needed in some cases, and much appreciated. It is hoped to have better facilities in this department when finances will allow. Several whose ciothing was so ragged as to render them scarcely presentable have been encouraged to save up money and buy better, it being deemed a wiser plan than to give clothing. Besides, it suits the boys, who show a pride in paying for what they receive. There are. however, times when it would be a great help if there was a supply of clothing at hand, as in the case of two little homeless boys who, last night, slept the boiler” at the stockyards, and came in looking like veritable chimney sweeps, with their clothes thoroughly impregnated with soot. A few boys having good homes and “sleeDing out” from the mere love of such a Bohemian life, have been persuaded to go home. More than were supposed at first have no home, and sleep any place. So the need of providing some place for them to sleep grows more imperative, and the demand will be met as soon as possible. The cheap meals are raised, from day to day, the articles of the bill of fare ranging in price from one cent to three cents each. This covers the cost, no more. The lunch department has proven a great blessing on bad days when business is dull. The boys are frequently trusted, and show a fine sense of honor in paying their bills as soon as possible. On each evening instruction has been given in some of the common branches, experienced public school teachers having volunteered their services for the nifeht school. The W. C. T. U. and Y. W. C. T. U. have united in the mission Sunday-school held on Sabbath afternoon in the newsboys readingroom. There is need of more teachers in the Sunday-school, and those who have a mind to work in this direction will find a welcome. On Sabbath evenings a gospel service is held, in which the boys have thus far taken a deep interest, and one has, through this influence, has been led to enter upon a Christian life. The following gentlemen have accepted the invitation of the Y. W. C. T. U, to act with them in the capacity of an advisory committee: John G. Blake, E. F. Ritter, J. A. Rcndthaler, W. D. Hooper and George W. Cobb. Te the Christian people and business men of the city, this youngest of its charities appeals strongly for support. There are still many things in the way of furnishings needed, which would be better learned by a visit to the rooms, basement of 68 North Pennsylvania street, where the superintendent, Miss Lillian Rossiter, or the president of the Y. W. C. T. U.. JMiss Mollie G. Hay, will be glad to see all disposed to hep this way. A canvass is being made'for donations and monthly subscriptions to a sustaining fund, of any amount from five cents upward. May I not, on bebalf of the boys, ask a cordial response from those solicited by the young ladies, and that others who may not be called on will call at the room and leave their subscriptions to this worthy enterprise. l. e. r. A Card from Orth H. Stein. To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal: The statements generally published in Indiana that 1 drew oat my mother’s hank account without her knowledge by means of signed checks given me in blank, and then fled to St. Lonis are false in every particular. My mother had an interest in the Comet published by meat Lafayette, Ind. The venture would probably have been a success if we bad had a little more money to hold it up until its circulation, which was growing, became self-sustaining. Everv check drawn on the bank was with Mrs. Stein’s foil knowledge and consent. * Less than ten days before the paper suspended Mr. B. F. Johnson, assistant cashier of the Fowler National Bank, called at my mother’s house and gave her' a statement of her account, as her book had been lost. He will testify that she stared it was all right—that we had been obliged to draw largely upon it Less than SIOO was drawn after that. I think this conclusively settles the story of my forging checks. Now as to flight: when we saw the paper was about to go under for want of more money I went to St. Lonis (at the solicitation of my mother) to endeavor to interest capital there. The understanding was that if I

failed I was to secure a position. I did fail and did goto work. 1 left my address with half adozen people at Lafayette and telegrams were freely exchanged back and forth. My mail was forwarded me at this point. The Associated Press agent here willingly contradicted the infamous lie sent over the wires concerning me and I received a letter from my mother, yesterday, stating that she had not seen a newspaper or newspaper man since I left. The fact is she has been sick—worried by business reverses, and the whole calnmny is the concoction of a lot of malicious busybodies and scandal mongers who, at the proper time and place, I shall hold fully responsible for their work. Orth H. Stein. St. Louis, April 8. Bishop Foster’s Lecture. To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal: Rev. R. S. Foster, D. D., LL. D., of Boston, one of the bishops of the Methodist Episcopal Chnrcb, will lecture in Meridian-street M. E. Church, this city, on Friday evening next, the 16th inst, subject, “The Universe.” It seems eminently proper that I should utter an introductory word to the general public. Bishop Foster is no ordinary man. His career has been one of marked and increasing success and usefulness. For many years he served leading churches in Cincinnati and New York city. For a time he was president of Drew Theological seminary. Elected to the episcopacy in 1872 he has for fourteen years held that office with great fidelity. In the performance of his duties he has traveled in all Darts of this country, in South America, Mexico, Europe, the Holy Land, India, China and Japan. Bishop Foster’s attainments in science, philosophy, theology, history and general literature are recognized in all circles. Asa writer he has made an impression upon the church. His works on “Calvinism vs. Armenianism,” on "Beyond the Grave,” on “Recognitions in Heaven,” on “Thouehts for the Pulpit and Pew,” on "Centennial Seed Thoughts,” on “Origin of Species—an examination of Darwinism,” on “Confucius and the Chinese,” etc., show the ranee of his studies. At the advanced ace of sixtyflve years, his hair white as snow, he is now in full possession of all his powers. Before an audience be appears the very pattern of manly dignity and grace. He is an original and profound thinker. His language is chaste and simple, his delivery forcible. Every sentence that falls from his lips is in good, vigorous Anglo Saxon. His voice is musical and clear. His hearers are constantly impressed with his goodness and scholarship. Whether he preaches or lectures he always instructs. Without hesitation, I affirm that Bishop Foster may be ranked among the chief orators of our Nation. He certainly has no superior, and but few equals, in his own denomination. Indeed, no man among us, save Bishop Simpson, has been admired and honored as much as Bishop Foster. I hope for him, on the 16th. an audience that wiil completely fill the house. J. E. Gilbert, Pastor Meridian-street M. E. Church. Indianapolis Is Awake. To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal: Your article in yesterday’s paper headed “Wake up Indianapolis,” was a misnomer. The citizens of Indianapolis are always wide awake. •How could a sleepy city have such a street-car service as we have! Then what a convenient and picturesque thing we have as an ornament to Washington street, the transfer-car. Nothing sleepy about that. Take a look at our beautiful parks. See how they are laid out and what care is expended in keeping them in order. Nothing sleepy about them. Sometime ago we refused to let a lot of foreign capitalists come in and spend their cash building anew street-ear lino. Certainly nothing sleepy about that. And now we drive out the telephone company, a corporation that has spent over sloo,ood in the city, and been an untold convenience to most folks. O no; we are wide awake. Now if we could only get the Legislature to pass a law that will drive out those “grasping monopolies,” the express and telegraph companies, we will soon be able t.o have a royal good time —atl by ourselves. Wideawake.

LA 15OH AND LAROKEKS. 1 ■ Mattcnl. of Interest to Employers and Em-ployed—-Prosperity Checked by the rhilaC-a&ra Record. A co-opprative hall is to be built in Boston. A mass-meeting of carpenters was held in Faneuil Hall last Sunday. Labor lvceutns are being talked of in the Western States, similar to those in several New England cities. Labor literature is in great demand, and able lecturers and ■writers are coming to the front and exercising great control through their appeals and expositions of the purposes of organized labor. In most of the smaller manufacturing towns of eastern Pennsylvania additional shop and factory capacity is being erected to furnish needed facilities for the improving demand. In several of them real estate has advanced iu value, or, at least, is held higher than last year. House building is also going on at a greater rate thau last year, and the general appearance of the villages and towns is undergoing a favorable change. The subject of profit-sharing is more intelligently discussed, in view of the growing power of labor organizations. Industrial partnerships have been most thoroughly tried by European firms and corporations. There is a unanimous agreement among them that this system promotes zeal, efficiency and economy, and thereby increases the profits of business; that it is a moral adjudicator, and that it substitutes harmony and mutual good will for disgust and contention iu the relations of employer and employed, and that where it has failed the failure has been due either to extrinsic causes or to a too hasty abandonment before the full educational result has been obtained. Furniture manufacturers have had their attention directed by enthusiasts to the pulp question. It is argued that pulp can be used as a substitute for lumber in the manufacture of furniture and other articles now made exclusively of wood. By mixing the pulp with clays, steatite, asbestos, plumbago and mica, substances of every possible color and compactness may be produced. It is estimated that only 20 per cent, of the timber felled reaches economic uses, while if the sawmill were combined with the pulpine and pressing processes all the material in the trunk might be available. The demand for machine-shop labor is such as to engage hundreds of mechanics who for twelve months past have had very little to do, owing partly to inferior skill. The prospects for labor for the next three months in machine-shops, tool-shops and factories arb quite fluttering be cause oi the policy adopted by railway managers, manufacturers and other.! of making thorough repairs and putting a great deal of new machinery in place of old. On Thursday last a Pittsburg blast-furnace builder completed contracts for the erection of two large blast furnaces to be erected near Bir minghara, Ala. The furnaces are to be built for a company of English and Charleston (S. C.) capitalists, with $2,000,000 capital. Anew town is to be started i* northern Alabama to be called New Birmingham, where rolling-mills, steel mills and nail mills are td be built by Pittsburg manufacturers. Several cases have occurred during the past few days where projected building operations were withdrawn from the hands of architects on account of the unwillingness of investers to take any risks at this time. Real estate operators in New York and some other Eastern cities have reported within a few days a suspension of negotiations in several very important real estate transactions, which were to be the basis of industrial enterprises. The more hopeful projectors are of the opiniou that should the change from the ten-hour day to the shorter day be generally established it will stimulate enterprise, which is waitine for that event The uncertainty is worse than the reduction, in their opinion. They say they would prefer a uniform day at once. During the past week orders for all kinds of boot and shoe supplies have been coming to manufacturers both here and in the Massachusetts market with a little more promptness. The upward tendency which was threatened in prices at the opening of the season has disappeared, and, although the tendency is not downward, buyers and jobbers are satisfied to place orders for spring and summer delivery. The agents representing five or six of the leading locomotive establishments are now in negotiation with the managers of some railroad companies for the placing of extensive locomotive orders. The argument used is that there are probabilities of a further advance in materiaithat the policy of postponing the placing of orders has been carried to an extreme limit, and

that it would be a better thing on the part of managers to cover their requirements for the coming twelve months lest there should be an unexpected advance. Another attempt at industrial partnership is to be made at Burnley. England, where the operators will have a greater interest in the work than they have heretofore had. The projectors believe that the reasonsforso many failure in the past have grown out of the fact that the workers were obliged to work at minimum wages. The wace-workera there and all through England look with suspicion upon all such projects; but there will he no difficulty in finding enough to fill the factories that may be started upon this plan. Os the eighty thousand textile workers employed in and near Philadelphia nearly onefourth are engaged in the knit-goods industry. The winter has been an unusually active one, so far as the volume of business has gone; but it has not been as profitable as in some other years, and, in consequence, cheapening processes have been resorted to in some cases.

The First Sign Os failing health, whether in the form of Night Sweats and Nervousness, or in a sense of General Weariness and Loss of Appetite, should suggest the use of Ayer’s Sarsaparilla. This preparation is most effective for giving tone and strength to the enfeebled system, promoting the digestion and assimilation of food, restoring the nervous forces to their normal condition, and for purifying, enriching, and vitalizing the blood. Failing Health. Ten years ago my health began to fail. I was troubled with a distressing Cough, Night Sweats, Weakness, and Nervousness. I tried various remedies prescribed by different physicians, Dut became so weak that I could not go np stairs without stopping to rest. My friends recommended me to try Ayer’s Sarsaparilla, which I did, and I am now as healthy and strong as ever.—Mrs. E. L. Williams, Alexandria, Minn. I have used Ayer’s Sarsaparilla, in my family, for Scrofula, and know, if it is taken faithfully, that it will thoroughly eradicate this terrible disease. I have also prescribed it as a tonic, as well as an alterative, and must say that I honestly believe it to be the best blood medicine ever compounded.—W. F. Fowler, M. D., D. D. S., Greenville,Tenn. Dyspepsia Cured. It would be impossible for me to describe what I suffered from Indigestion and Headache up to the time I began taking Ayer’s Sarsaparilla. I was under the care of various physicians, and tried a great many kinds of medicines, but never obtained more than temporary re-‘ lief. After taking Ayer’s Sarsaparilla for a short time, my headache disappeared, and my stomach performed its duties more perfectly. To-day my health is completely restored. Mary Harley, Springfield, Mass. I have been greatly benefited by the prompt use of Ayer’s Sarsaparilla. It tones and invigorates the system, regulates the action of the digestive and assimilative organs, and vitalizes the blood. It is, without doubt, the most reliable blood purifier yet discovered.— H.
