The epioureans, numbering half a dozen
or so, have organized q club to be known as
the 'Epicurean club" Its name explains
it's mission. The members meet at the
boiler house every Saturday evening imme-
diately after the session Of the Cana Theta
is over to dispose of incalculable quantities
of bologne sausage, cheese, ox-tongue and
chocolate, and, incidentally. to discuss
questions of the day. And these discus
sions are most informal. Restrictions are
unknown; every member takes the floor at
his pleasure, or. US is usually the case, all
the members take the floor at once, without
being limited as to time and topic, or held
TO account for opinions expressed. The
membership will probably not be increased
to any appreoiable extent, as the test i'm
posed upon all candidates. that of eating a
yard of sausage at one sitting, can be sur
vived by but a few.
