A FLOURISHING SOCIETY.
The Social Session Of the Chrys.
antheum Club.

8uCO0um ClUD.
At its social session at E. A. TaylOr's
digestion works on Thursday evening,
the Chrysantheum club enjoyed, as Mr..
TaylOr'S guest. magnificent spread OF
fruits of the field and forest in season.
The sociability of the occasion sur
passed all previous efforts of the club.
which have already become quite noted
in the city, and it was unanimously
voted, on motion of Mr.. Barnes, of New
York, that
"Die essen fest ist besser ais die saenger-
fest"
The motion passed unanimously, in
Difference to the fact that none OF the
members of the club can sing, and,
strange to say, none of them think they
can. l.. Beresford Little was chair
man Of the evening, and a long ana
earnest business session was held after
the supper. AS first in importance, ).
Il. Mannix, in series of proilx
speeches, advanced and advocated the
idea of establishing subordinate lodges
or juvenile temples of the order. He
held that the club had made three great
discoveries in social economies: First,
that club may be made success with
out organization; second, that it may
flourish without aim or purpose; third,
that it may accomplish the same with
out constitution or bylaws. These dis
coveries he thought should be commu-
nicated to the world at large, and ne
saw no better way than for some quail
fed member to 60 out and establish
juvenile temples. The club Endorsed
the idea warmly, and in casting about
for proper organizer all eyes fell on
Col. W. w. W. Wettelson, who was inn
mediately chosen to the difficult and
delicate task of walking delegate. The
resignation of Maj. ''Bill" Rees from
the deputy clerkship of the municipal
court was reported. and in recognition
of his eminent fitness he was put in
nomination for corporation counsel.
L. Beresford Little, who once
wrote geological feature article
on Blackstone in Blue Earth county,
was also nominated: but the
majority held that while Mr.. Little
might be an excellent lawyer in a gem
fitted to appear for the Chrysanthemums
in causes involving less than $500 or
ninety days in the workhouse. He was
elected over Mr.. Little, IA to 8. The
election to active membership of Gen,
Charles ALT Williams, Maj. w. K. Sill
and Capt. Jack Logan was reported.
and the gentlemen accepted in speeches
denunciatory of the club, in accordance
with the rule that forbids new MEM
Der to presume to tlatter the organization.
The dedication of waltz to
the Chrysantheums by w. E.
Gooding was reported, and the
clubs thanks were returned to Mr..
Gooding. In recognition of his many
noble traits of character. E. A. Taylor,
the host of the evening, was unani-
mously chosen honorary president. He
responded with tears in his eyes and
box of cigars under his arm. These
were the principal items of business:
Among the minor matters disposed
of affirmatively were resolutions
welcoming the saengerbund to
the city, indorsing the Anderson cable
franchise, and forming an interviews
paper base ball league, which will play
midnight games in the basement OF the
Tribune building. The club is in very
flourishing condition. and has not dol
lar in the treasury nor a single out
standing obligation which is collect
ible. The next social session will be
held at the Hotel Lafayette Oh July f.,
when the host will be Maj. William
Rembrandt Sill. 81
