the city hall on last Saturday night. a

Agreeble to THE TRIBUNE's suggestion
Clarence Foreman was unanimously
elected president, while Andrew Norris
was chosen secretary. Other officers
were chosen as follows: DR.. Ramsey,
vice president, George Coxsey, treas
urer and Ben Norris door keeper.
After the organization was perfected
the president was called, and amid
deafning cheers, Mr.. Foreman arose and
cordially thanked his friends for the
very high honor which he was sure
they had conferred upon him. He
spoke at length of what he had under
stood the object of the club would be,
and closed by making many pointed
and timely lyssuggestions Said he, "In
justice to each and every member of
the club, | deem it necessary that all
weddings be made public at least TWO
weeks II advance Of the marriage, by
written or printed notices, one at the
home of the betrothed and several
others in the neighborhood, that all
INTERCEPTED may have due and timely
notice, He said that such was the
custom down in Old Mexico, and that
It had met with universal favor.
His last suggestion was at once put
into resolution before the club by
B. B. Bslinger.
t.. Q. Butt arose and objected to its
adoption, saying that engagements
were entirely too uncer!ain IN this
country for such law, and that It's
adopt ton would be . source of any
amount of humiliation to members OF
the club who would miss their calcula-
la ton.

iron-clad agreement, attested by two
witnesses. However when put to
vote the motion was lost.
Bryant Coxey asked permission 10
speak, and asked that the secretary be
required to take the names of all mem
bers who expected to get married
during the holidays, This was neces-
sary, he said, in order that arrange
ments could be made for their enter
tainment. 1t was also important that
Judge Webb should be informed of
just how many intended to avail them
selves of the reduced ceremonial rate
he has offered.
AT this point the secretary arose and
asked to be excused on the grounds
that he had an engagement and
would have to leave. Dr.. Ramsey also
asked TO be excused as patient was
needing his attention, while VIII
Orrell, Charlie Hsrbert and VIII Han
bury made sudden start for the door.
Ben Norris was also about Sc run of,
leaving his hat.
The president raped for order and
asked that all remain and be quiet
until he could speak. He said he
thought Mr.. Coxsey's demand was at
least little bit premature and that
the next meeting would be time enou. 4
