PRINCE YTuRB1DE LOSES HIS CASE.
The Court Or Appeals Holds That TIA MstreDea-
itan Club HAD . Right to Expci Him.

WASHINGTON. June THE Court Of Appeals
to-day decided the case of Prince Augustine do
Yturbide against the Metropolitan Club Of this
city in favor of the club. About one year ago
the Prince was expelled from the club for con-
duct unbecoming a gentleman in having said
that q daughter Of a member Of the club had
sent anonymous letters to society leaders here.
Yturbide applied to the District Supreme Court
for q writ OF mandamus to compel the club to
reinstate him. Issues were Joined and the case
was tried before a jury, the club winning the
suit. Yturbide's counsel took exceptions to the
rulings Of the Court and appealed to the Court
of Appeals. with tho result just noted.
The Court holds that the law authorizing the
Incorporation Of the club also gives 1t the power
to make laws for It's government and for the en-
forcement OF them. and It was not shown that the
club exceeded its rights in expelling the Prince.
The main contention Of Yturbide upon tho trial
was that he offered to substantiAte his state
ments and prove what he said about the members
daughter. but upon his admission that he made
the statement as charged the Board Of Governors
OF the club expelled him. Yturbide denies that
the right OF defense was given him, but tho
Court OF Appeals, In passing upon the case. says
II was not shown TO the Court or jury to what
extent the defence he sought to make would
justify the board in changing its determination
to expel him, and therefore no ground exists
either In the courts ruling or upon the evidence
adduced for a reversal OF the judgement Of the
lower cnurt

DuxHARDs At THE wH1rE HOUSE.

WASHINGTON. June 7.-"well, here's just
what I've been looking for" facetiously re-
marked a kentucky Office seeker to q Sun re-
porter at the White House this afternoon.
In tho distance the Kentuckian saw what ho
conceived to DO q bunch of Western farmers,
with long, flowing whiskers, Anticipated hats
and garments, high-water trousers, tanned
faces, and big hands. Most of Thorn were chew
ing tobacco and splitting on the White House
portico. They wore homespun garments. and
were stoop-shouldered from having followed the
fufrow. As they drow nearer they were recog-
niSed as a body Of Dunkards who arrived in
Washington this morning. Their annual con-
ference is being held in Frederick. Md, and In
order to permit them to see the sights OF WASH
ington an excursion was arranged at bedrock
rates.
If I had a gold brick or a littlo pea and three
shells, or II I wore a short change man, I'd set
up business right on the White House portico."

President would receive The public Mt 3. and
this announcement served to collect all tho
punkards in town, and they were on hnnd long
before the appointed. hour waiting to shake
hands with the high chief" as they called
him. They were scattered through the East
Room. and when the President entered they
lined up In twos; The President had. n good
word for each. Mr.. Mckinley has rood reasons
for remembering the Dunkards, as It was due in
part to their influence that he was defeated for
Congress In 1892. Several Democratic politicians
passed around through Holmes county, In Mr..
McKinley's, old district, where there Is a big
Dunkard colony, and offered tin dippcrs for sale
at VI apiece. OF course, this wat an extraordi-
nary price. bnt the Dunkards were told that tho
Mckinley bill had raised the duty on tin. and
consequently tho price for tin clippers was put
up. They then turned in to defeat Mr.. McRin-
ley. and how well they succeeded history shows.
After the President had shaken hands with
the Dunkards. they collected ont on the portico
and talked over religious matters. Just as they
were about to leave. one big. swarthy fellow,
evidently. spokesman for the party, yelled out to
several OF the White House employees; God
filed down the steps and out into Pennsylvania
avenue. where they started for their train.
