SIGNED BY EVERY MEMBER
Constitution Book of Tammany So eiety, 122 Years Old. Is Great
 Autograph Album.

In the pos session of the Tammany Society. or Columbian Order. to give the full title of the organization, is a book now l22 years old. The auto graph of every person who has joined the society since 1t was founded on May l3. l789. can be found in this book. which is probably the largest collection of autographs in this city.
 It Is called the Constitution Book, because on its first pages, written out in faded ink, is the constitution drawn up by William Mooney. the founder of the society and its first grand sachem. at the original meeting held way. It was ordered by Mooney at that meeting that eves-y member upon joining should repeat this constitution and then affiX his name to 1t. The constitution contains among other things the pledge that the person signing shall sustain the state insti- tutions and resist a consolidation of power in the central government.
 The first signature on the long list which follows the constitution in the old book is that of Mooney. Original ly the book was small volume. but in the century and quarter that has passed new pages have been added un- til now 1t is a book of over 600 pages. The original covers have been kept, and the first part of the book Is made up of pages now yellow with age and upon which the ink is fast fading.
 The autographs of many famous men follow that of William Mooney on these pages. At the annual meet ing on the society's anniversary, the book is taken out, and it plays a part in the ceremonies, particularly If new members are to be admitted to the sO- ciety. which in a way is kept separate and distinct from the political organi- ration.
 Of the early records of the Tam many Society the Constitution Book alone survives, the others having been destroyed in the several fires which have visited the wigwam. The Con- stitution Book is now kept in fire proof safe and is only taken out on special occasions.

Wasn't Quite Sure.

At about 1:30 the other morning there came a furious ringing at the door bell of quiet house on East Seventieth street. After a few min. utes had elapsed a head was thrust out of the second-story window and the following conversation ensued:
 What do you want?"
 "Is this where Mr. Tawker lives?"
 'T am he"
 Did you deliver an address on Heroes of History at the c. E. con vention this evening""

 You spoke of man who had done beautiful deeds for humanity. His name was Philip Moore Was he A Catholic or a Protestant?"
 He was Protestant But what do you"
 Thank you, thank you. that's all I want. I'm the shorthand reporter that took down your speech. and I couldn't tell from my notes whether this hero entered the ministry or monastery. Much obliged for setting me right Good night. Plain Dealer
