Moltke, which his literary executors
have compiled for publication in Ger
many, are attracting the attention of
the entire military and literary world.
The London newspapers have had ca
bled to them voluminous extracts from
tho commentaries Of this great soldier
Of the century. When the memoirs are
translated into English a few months
hence they are destined to have an enor-
nous sale.
Not second in interest to the memoirs
themselves will be the striking papers
on the great field marshal, written by
Lord Wolseley, of the British army, in
which the story Of the life and career OF
the German soldier is graphically told
by one who is himself an able general,
and an acknowledged authority o. mill
tary matters, All of Lord Wolseley's
contributions to military literature are
widely sought and command big prices
from publishers. We are pleased to be
able to announce that this entire series
Of remarkable articles will be published
in The INDEPENDENT, the first paper ap
pearing on Sunday next. The articles
will appear exclusively in a few leading
American newspapers. which have Joint
Iy purchased the copyright. THE INDIE
is a member of this syndicate
and is the only paper in this part Of the
country that can offer its readers this
rare treat.

club is naturally a clique, and is usually
made up of the wealthy, with whom the
preacher of the people cannot afford tc

Advocates reasons also bar many peo-

Sundowner5. 1t is a dinner club composed
of thirty members who are among the pop
ular and representative citizens of the town.
1t is purely a social organization modelled
somewhat after the Twilight club of Wash
inRton. The members meet on the fourth
Monday of the month at six O'Clock and
enjoy a dinner the price of which is but
nominal. A topic Of local interest is usu-
ally discussed though there are no set
speeches.. The club is burdened by neither
constitution nor bylaws though the follow
ing creed explains the purposes: Sociabil-
ity-- Unrestricted opinions-No dress coats
Dudes barred-Only good fellows-Wit but
not vulgarity-No long speeches-Every-
body on time-ttational recreation 49, Six
O'Clock dinners. The membership ia lin
tied TO thirty good fellows and is always
filled, and there are always applications.
The name of any member who is ab-
sent without excuse from two consecutive
meetings ia dropped from the roll and
an applicant elected in his place. The sec.
rotary is the only permanent officer and a
new president IS elected each meeting.
Each member must pay for his own dinner.
