Especial to THE HERALD-Examiner Dispatch
NEW YORK, Dec. 21.-The Calumet club,
on Fifth avenue, has just now an inferno
cine dispute which threatens to define more
exactly the qualifications for membership.
When the club was established, not very
long ago, there was an intellectual element
in its organization which promised to make
it popular among artists and literary men,

A few weeks ago David S. Banks placed
the name of Archibald Clavering Gunter,
playwright and novelist, upon the board as
a prospective member. 1t is somewhat
sad to relate that considerable time
elapsed before Gunter was recognized as
lone of those literary fellows" but just as
soon as his recognition had occurred, there
developed an opposition to Banks friend.
The friend of the opposeds candidate en-
quired with much anxiety what the
grounds of opposition were In response
they got mere shrugs of the shoulders.
Once or twice were heard from ultra con-
sentative members OF the club such ex-
pressions as ''Cawn't expect to elect a
fellow who writes plays, can you, don

governors, and as there was nothing to be
said against him. save that he was an au

eligible to membership. Last Tuesday
night the Calumet club held meeting and
in the course of other business Gunter's
name came up for election. No sooner was
it proposed than there was a significant

the vote was counted it was found that
Gunter was rejected as member by sew

great dissatisfaction. 1t is but Just to the
club to record, according to the statement
of a member who was present, that good
majority of the gentlemen who were there
left the house with considerable indigna-

Since then there has been considerable
talk in the club-rooms about the rejection

Especial to THE HERALD-Examiner Dispatch
New York, Dec. 21.-It is strange in
these days to believe the educated people
have faith in Voodooism, yet Jersey man
named Feif1er has been making living
for two or three years by claiming to cure
disease by Voodooism. He was exposed
yesterday by a Mrs. Hanlon, whose boy
was suffering from some affection of the
legs. She paid the doctor So so to cure her
boy. He gave her creed alleged to be
written with blood, and told her "He or
she who wears that mystic scroll next the
heart may stand unhurt in the midst of
seething flames; aye, may enter furnace
seven times heated and come forth un-
scathed." But it wouldn't cure her sons
legs, so she had the Voodoo doctor ar
