also the author of that thrilling work, Americans of Royal Descent l found MT. Browning, when I called on him one day last week, to be most affable gentleman who seemed to re- gard his w-rk with strangely mingled enthusiasm and irony. He impressed upon me the fact that while the inn pression might prevail that these soci- ties were all froth, they could not be 1 regarded as such purely from the standpoint of establishing authentic degrees.
 'In some, he said, they accept what are known as collateral mem bers. That is to say, a member of the Sons of the American Revolution may not necessarily be descended directly from Revolutionary soldier. His great grandfather may not have great -grandfather's brother did he is eligible as a collateral member. That is the case with Chauncey M. Depew, who is preside of the society in New York
 What is the origin of these socie- ties ?" was asked.
 ''The Society of the Cincinnati was the first,'' replied MT. Browning. Tt was organized by Frederick William yon Steuben at the close of the Revo- lution, and was originally known as the Order of the Cincinnati. It died
  later it was changed from an order to society," as being more typicalIy American.
 Then followed the Society of 1872, the Society of the Colonial Wars, Sons of the Revolution Daughters of the Rev. olution, Colonial Danes, Mayfiower Society, Founders and Patriots, Daughters of Cincinnati, the Aztec Club (composed of officers who served in the Mexican war), the Society of Foreign Wars. Daughters of the Con- federacy, Order of Washington, Colo nial Society of Massachusetts, De- scendants of the Pioneers of America, Sons of Veterans, United States Navy Veteran Association, and-that's about all can thik of at present"
 You must have many experiences in your work which are amusing." l ven- tured.
 "Yes. indeed" replied MT. Browning. 'aTake the women who claim to be line al descendants of Benjamin Franklin The fact that Franklin was never mar ried doesn't seem to worry them in the least. They don't seem to mind little thing like a marriage ceremony where their ancestors are concerned.
 '.As a matter of fact. the sole idea of many persons seems to be to avail themselves of every opportunity to found a society to get badge of some sort or other. To be alliterative, like the preacher of rum, Romanism and rebellion fame, 1 should characterize the prevailing tendency as a case of badges. buttons and banqaets. To put up a monument. to erect an historic building. to look pretty on parade. to get ones name in the paper-those are the things to strive for. and then comes happiness. One chap thinks he's a huckleberry better than another chap, and there is also great happiness in ! that, you know

GUESS AIeck'S got the 0lStrlct all v right I had heard several of the boys of the unterrified Democracy
 say.
 So the other day, when I heard that he had done the next natural
 and proper thing and opened up
 a place. down on Sixth street, l
 went around to witness the in stalIation of the new district boss.
 Sure enough, down amid the pictur- esque and populous hive of south of Market I found a living picture of a phase of municipal politics as it ,verily is. has. been and will be among large portion of the sovereign people. Go south of Market for the romantic, the heroic and the evil in local politics. Governorships and charters and ambi- tions have been lost down there and the great and the good goNwooing there in the "glad-hand" days preceding cleo tions.
 block away from the old Arcade Market. that was a market genera .tion ago, I discovered that the north shaIf of that old and spreading ruin was cleaning in new white paint, fantasti- .cally streaked and striped with bright chrome yellow, and I knew that all this spIendor proclaimed the glorious birth of the abode of the new district boss.
 As entered a wide door of the place I observed. respectfully, the sole warn ing Paint" on pieces of writing pa per and sensed again the newness of something significant. Stocked in view from the street were lustrous oak bar rels just labeled 70. P. S." 'Bour- bon" Rum" etc, and it was not in mere fancy that l saw them as judi cious Notifications ere the mastering and the storming of the fall campaign Unlike the Government, the Dralny boss is always prepared for war Ana at the bar, behind big screening case filled with bottled stuffs that may bring joy and "cops" to Sixth street, steam beer sized and frothed and stopped around, already spluttering it's part in the city's fate.
 This was no ordinary opening of new gin mill that was giving paint, beer and life to a corner of Shlpley street. It was the establishment or a new political headquarters by dis trict politician, who aspires to be the Democratic boss of the Thirtieth, and of as much adjacent territory as pos sible.
 Alex Greggains, prizefighter and poli- uclan, mas been in active politics Tn that section ever since he was big enough to hit head at a primary. At ~the last election for Freeholders he es- ,poused the cause of the ticket which }gained the victory. He led the Demo- cratic faction that opposed the ticket of District Engineer Dougherty and the Fire Department There was hot hustling in the Thirty-second on that eventful day. When the ballots were counted the ticket he worked for was found to have received a majority in that district and Greggains claims the credit.

METHODIST BOOK CONCERN.
Senate Committee Reports on the
Investigation Of Claim Paid.

WASHINGTON, July S-The Senate
Committee on Claims to-day made its
report upon the investigation made by
the committee into the payment Of
the claims Of the Methodist book con-
Germ, and the payment to Major E. B.
Stalhman of 500, 800 as agent in get
ting the claim through.
The report finds that the committee
was deceived by the representations Of
Mr.. Sta1hman and Messrs. Barber and
Smith, the book agents, but absolved
the Methodist Church South as such
from blame in the matter. 1t is also
found that no Senator or member of
Congress received any money in con-
nection with the claim. The testimony
taken was also made public.
Mr.. Stahlman said he had been Civ
ing more or less attention to the claim
since 1892, but that the contract for
35 per cent. had been made in 1895.
Mr.. Stahlman said he cautioned the
book agents against making the con-
tract public because" he continued
IF I went to Washington as their rep
resentative for a fee of any amount
would just be bounded day in and day
out, and that I would probably fall into
the hands Of some Of the .yultures who
hung around the Capitol, which would
involve the passage of the measure in
questionable methods. They agreed to
