was opened. Henry W. Grady was one OF
the guests Of the evening. and in lis re-
marks told the members that they should
establish as their 'household god the und!-
ing spirit Of that old civilization Of the
south. with its chiyahy, that refined where
it touched: It's charity, that rode not on the
passing wind and shone not in the garish
sun: its pietv. ir master and slave alike; its
hospitality and its courage that endured :
its honor that lived in the homo and fingered
not on the lips; its reverence for woman
hood. but little less than its alteration for
God: alrin all. my cOuntrymen, ciNiliza-
tion that no eloquence can properly paint,
and that will survive
Sucn. indeed, had been the course OF the
society SO far and the guiding character
istcs Of its course. The object OF the So
ciety. as its constitution states. Is " 10
cherish and perpetuate the memories and
traditions of the southern people, as well
as to ssprOmOte closer social acquaintance
among Southern men i'm New York. In
another place il is stated: "Ihe society will
not trench upon the domain Of controversial
history. nor permit the discussion or intro
ductiOn Of political or sectional differences
Therefore. when Mr.. Davis died the men,
pers gave immediate and hearty expression
Of their personal SORROW, and the executive
committee. the highest power IN the Organi-
zation. at once sent "a respectful ana SYM
pathetic resolution Of grief 20 Mrs Davis.
Some spoke Of holding a memorial meeting
in some public place, as was properly done
i'm the Southern cities. The southern >ocie-
ty had on its rolls the names Of Union men;
one of them was an officer ON 1rants stan.
Now some enthusiastic members insisted
on supplementing the action OF the eNecu-
tive committee by the special meeting Of
last Tuesday. Most ofthe members thought
il was superiiuOus, but the necessary num-
Der having signed the call, 10 was held. No
one objected 10 what was done except Mr..
II. John. and his is only an individual ac-
tiOn. for which he alone Is responsible. As
he now sees his pronunciaments has fallen
fiat and left him without a single backer,
except Mr.. Gibson. whose opposition was
known from the first, and who was consis-
tent i'm his course.
There is no more loyal body Of southern
men than the members OF this organization;
true to the traditions and memories OF the
old South, eager to help and ad'Wce the
fortunes of the new. They have among them
many of New NOrk's most h0nOrcd and pros
admit that whenever the honor Of the South
or the memory of her ilustrlOus sons was
in question they have never, either as indi-
yiduals or rs a body, been rccreant 20 the
best traditions of their fathers, or lacking
i'm that prOmptness and sincerity that should
be expected from an organization OF repre-
sentative pretensions.
CLARK WAVES EXAMINATION.
William Hancock Clark, the member of
the Southern Society who shot three times at
Wilton Randolph, Of the same organization,
on Friday night in front ofthe clubhouse,
appeared i'm Jefferson Market Court this
morning and waived examination on
charge Of felOniOus assault. Mr.. Randolph
was in court as "a witness. Clark says that
he shot al Randolph because he
had been struck and Knocked down
and feared further violence. Mr. Ran
dOlph says that he did not strike
Clark until after he saw Clark's hand on
his hip pocket. The case VIII probably be
presented 10 the grand jury for considera-
tion on Wednesday. IL is thought that Alr.
Clark's friends will try tO have the indict-
ment pipeon-h0led, and Mr.. Randolph and
his friend said to-day that II he succeeded
i'm doing 80 they would make no protest.
Charges have been preferred in the South
ern Society against Clark and Johnston by
Randolph. and 10 Is the opinion Of the club
members that all three will be expelled or
requested 10 resign.
