Once thero was a constitution of the

Intermingled still remain. Hero are ii few
extracts:
No motions are debatable.
No motion that Is seconded is properly

Members must remain seated during the
regular proceedings of tho club, standing
committees being tho only exceptions to
this rule.
Tho funds of tho club must be deposited
by the treasurer in three lending banks to
be named by the president dictator. The
financial secretary shall report to tho au

In disposing of valuables three balls.
Motions may be taken from the table,
but not removed from the room without
special permit from the chair.
An amendment to strike out can only be
considered (luring tho summer months,
when the members are playing baseball.
Motions to set up the cigars are not with
drawable. Last Tuesday evening, the regular meet
ing night of the Kdelwelsserx, I was per
mitted to be present. Of the liowllug it
self I can best speak with the silhouette
I have drawi) and which the printer has
strewn throughout this article.
At the "business meeting" of tho club a
memter arose and mildly suggested tho
Impeachment of the entire Iranrdof oflicers.
There had been,
the objecting
member ex
plained, a half
dollar in the treas
ury unaccounted
for. "I fear," he
shouted, "that our
worthy treasurer
Is speculating oil
the board of
trade." The resig
nation of all the
officers was asked
NywrASUP
for by thu eleven mcmlers of the club
who do not hold olllte. The twelfth, who
holds them all, declined to alslleate. "I
am dictator," he said quietly, but (Irmly,
"and only a civil war can remove mo."
The club immediately nominated a brand
new slute, and with only one dissenting
vote It was immediately elected. Tho dis
senting vote was that of the ex dictator.
The new olllcers were as follows:
President dli'talnr,
First lce president,

out on thu platform of the station at 10
o'clock at night to wait an hour and a

there was a fairly comfortable waiting
room and a good lire. Wo had all found
seats, when an oldish man, who afterward
admitted that ho was a butter and egg
buyer in Indianapolis, took out a note

For sho Imi been subjected to the
slight of being deliberately jilted, not
by u nrlnco of tho blood, but by 11 young

and oven commands, that ho deliberately
broke oil lils engagement to bo married
to Princess Mary of Teck.
Thu objection raised by tho marquis
to tho inutcli were of iK'cullar character
and likely to rankle for many a year
In tho hearts of tho royal family of Qreat
Britain in general, and In that of tho
Duchess elect of Chirunco In particular:
nor Is it probable that when thu lattei
mscciuIm thu throne of England as Queen
Mary, that tho ancient family whose
chief Lord Hath is will Iki very cordial
ly welcomed at court. It apMnrs that
thu martinis, who is famed throughout
tho kingdom not only for his wealth
hut also for IiIh iutuiisu pride and arm
gance, regarded PrlncesH Mary's birth us
not Htilllciftitly good to admit of her be

although her mother, tho Duchess ol

is of English blood royal, yet her father,
thu Duku of Teck, is, liku Priuco Hunt)
of Hattenberg, merely tho Ihsiio of 11
morganatic or left hand marriage be

Austrian countess.
Thu slight to PrlncesH Mary waH ren

less lover's marriage a year later to Vio
let Mordauut, thu girl whosu inopportune
birth in 1W1II led to thu great Mordauut
dlvorcu casu in 1870, a ilivorco case in
which tho Prlnco of Wales, together
with his friends, Sir Frederick Johnstone
and Lord Cole, were cited by thu plain
tilT, Sir Charles Mordauut, as co-respond
cuts. What thu inducements may have
Immjii by which tho marquis was led to
givu his consent to thu match I am un
able to say, but they must havu been of
an extraordinary nature.
Whilu tho family of Princess Mary is
liked in England, it cannot bo said tli
it enjoys any particular respect or esteei
on the part of cither thu classes or the
musses. Thu brothers of thu futuie
queen havu already acquired an tinunvi
ablu reputation both in thu regiments to
which thuy belong and in society gen
erally for their stupidity and for their
extravagance. Indeed, both of tho elder
boys havu already got into the hands of
thu money luudors, and qui to a number
of "kites" Wring their princely signa
tures aru flying about London, This is
all thu moru inexcusable in vlow of thu
exceedingly straitened circumstances
of their parents, who 011 one memorable
occasion wero reduced to such 11 predica
ment iH to render it necessary that a
public salo of their effects, including
many heirlooms, should bo held.
Moreover, Princess Mary's father, thu
Duku of Teck, has been thu hero of quitu
a number of escapades which have given
great offense to tho royal family, and en
jKjcinlly to Queen Victoria. No less than
twicu has his brother-in-law, thu Duko
of Cambridge, been obliged to follow
him to thu Continent, to which ho had
eloped with either tho onu or tho other
of his dnuglitur's governesses, and thu
old Duko of Cambridge has often Ix-cu
heard to remark in times now happily
gone by that tho work of "keupin
I Brother-m-lnw Frank straight" was al
guised contempt by those within thu
sacred circle, and I myself havu lM.-eu
thu witness of thu grossest rudeness to
ward thu father of thu future queen of
England on thu part of an English js-i-Mild

On thu groom of thu chambers an

that neither himself nor his wifo, nor jet

directions, given amid a hum of appio-

j ceived with an ill concealed titter by hit
I t-crvants down stairs, and it was with n

Moreover, when ho volunteered hit
