Miscellaneous Organizations.

Nearly every profession and every branch
of trade-butchers, bakers and candestick
makers-have their clubs; lawyers, doctors,
electricians and engineers. and the devotees
of every kind Of sport. Birds of a feather
always flock together and usually organize
and secure rendezvous. There are many
odd clubs also organizations Of cranks and
people with fads. The collectors of postage
stamps and coins have a club of their own
and you hear strange stories of burglars,
prisoners and murderers' clubs In the
worlds great metropolis. To one of the
clubs no man is eligible unless he has once
circumnavigated the globe; in another he
must have written book of which GER
tain edition has been sold. and there is an

The clubs of London not so hospitable
as those of the United States. Very few
of them open their doors to strangers. That
was the cause of great deal Of complaint
when our people first began to cross the
ocean in large numbers Americans who
had entertained and put up Englishmen at
their clubs IN this country thought it queer
that their friends did not reciprocate when
they went to England but We are used to
that sort of thing now.

BY WILLIAM K. CURTIS.

Written for The Star and the Chicago Record
Herald.
There are about 800 clubs in London with
fixed places of abode and membership OF
something more than 100000. This includes
only such clubs as are Incorporated and
own property. directory of clubs is
printed annually, giving the names loca-
tons. officers and other information. and it
is quite large book. The largest clubs
are political and are used as the head
quarters of the several parties. The Ma
tional Liberal, which is the largest club In
the world, has 1000 members; the Consutu-
tional which is q conservative club, has
6,Jl0 and it's satellite, or annex, the Con-
stitutional Junior. which was organized by
conservative politicians who could not get
into the original club, has 5000 members.
Several of the clubs have juniors, which i'm
itate them not only in name, but in every
other way possible, and were founded by
men whom the limit kept out of the orig
inalS.
The following are the most famous social
clubs In London, ranged in the order OF
their ages:
Whites, 81 St James street; founded
1880; 500 members; initiation fee. 100 gum
cas-, which is equivalent to $500, and annual
dues, $3.50
The Cocoa Tree, GA st. James street;
founded 1T46; 700 members; initiation fee,
$50; annual dues, $50
Brooks, 30 St. James street; founded
17G2; 900 members; $3.50 initiation fee; $50
annual dues.
Boobies, % ST. James street; founded
1I62; 600 members; $3.50 initiation fee; $50
annual dues.
: Arthur's. 80 ST. James street; founded
1865 coo members; $1,000 initiation fee; $50
annual dues.
The Union, Trafalgar Square: founded
1892; 1,250 members; 500 initiation fee;
500 annual dues.
The Marlborough, Pail Mall; rounded
1869; 500 members; $3.50 initiation tee an
nual dues, $50.
The Grosyenor, Piccadilly: founded 1888;
5000 members; no initiation fee; $50 annual
dues.
Whites, Brooks, Boobies and Arthurs
are very rich. They own hundreds of thou
sands of dollars worth of securities, and,
like the tradesmen's guilds of the city OF
London. which also have very large accu-
mutations invested, have attracted the at
tentlon of political economists and have
even been the subject of debate In paria-
ment, where 1t has been argued that it is
dangerous thing for the state to have such
large sums Of money tied UP by social and
trade corporations which are engaged in 10
kind of business.

Cured by Rubbing.

An Irishman once went into a
dispensary with a sprained ankle.
The doctor, after an examination
of the ankle, gave Pat a prescrip-
ton for a lotion to take to the
chemist telling him to rub his
ankle with it every night and morn
ing.
In short time Pat reappeared
before the doctor with the soiled
and dirty prescription, saying
I have rubbed my ankle with
the prescription you gave me, every
night and morning and I am now
quite better. Good luck to you.-
