teeman was by courtesy recognized by the
Ward Association. Mr.. Reed denied the
charges and filed an answer A commits
parently did not relish its job and for
various reasons postponed the day OF
trial. Just as final arrangements were
being made the charges were with
drawn.
Resolutions were presented by a friend
of Mr.. Reeds last night but were ruled
out of order by President Ramsey. The
1t created the impression that it was the
result of personal feeling. The resolutions
are:-
Whereas, Charges have been made
before this club involving the political
reputation and probity of our former
President, William r. Reed; and
Whereas, 1t is the consensus of opin-
ion, predicated in a full knowledge of
the solution. that the charges are not
only frivolous, but absolutely without
foundation; and
Whereas, Mr.. Reed has at all times
been ready to meet his accusers face
to face for the consideration of said
charges;
Resolved, That we the members of
the U. S. Grant Association, do here
by brand said charges as false and
misleading, and do hereby dismiss the
same from further consideration;
Resolved, That we hereby fully and
completely exonerate our esteemed ex-
President William r. Reed and ex
tend to him our fullest and most COM
plete confidence; we believing that his
Republicanism is beyond reproach, and
his honesty of thought, purpose and
action to the Grant Association never
to be doubted.
Mr.. Reeds friends were anxious to
know how the above resolutions would
have been received. But they never got
beyond the reading, being killed by Presi-
dent Ramsey. The internal struggle is
still on, and future interesting develop
ments are expected. A number of the
members said last night that they would
like to have Mr.. Reed in the President s
chair again.

"Chiropodistical Contest" Held Last
Niuh%

Seventy-three members of the Gable
Club had their corns cut by a Hoboken
chiropodist at their clubhouse last even
ing. Just what put such an idea into the
heads of the members is a matter OF con-
siderable speculations.
It has been whispered that it was due
to sarcastic comments made by specta-
tors at the clubs recent ball concerning
the awkwardness of the members in the
grand march. This can hardly be true.
The members are known to be as grace
full as the average terpsicorean devotee,
and more than one of them has taken q
prize in cake walking contests.
Daniel G.. Hawkes. and Janitor Michael
Toomey were the first to go under the
knife in the "chiropodisticar' seance The
chiropodist had two assistants He did his
work as though he was working for a
wager. He had contracted to do the job
at 37$ cents a foot and he accomplished
the great feat in two hours.
