The Wurra Wurra Club

Representative E. L. Roberts occupied the chair and John Thurlough tried to sing the Opening Ode, with indifferent success, but nobody found fault.
 On motion ot Dennie O'Neil, E. w. Warner was appointed Santa Claus, to give out the cornncopias at the Christ mas tree exercises.
 Joe Ganci rose to "a question of per sonal privilege"
 "Ouestions of personal privilege can be entertained only in the full of the moon," the chair ruled. "However, If the gentleman will state his case we'll see what can be done about it."
 MT. Ganci said he had been criticised by Dan Sweeney for certain interpreta- tions he had made us official court inter preter in the cases against the Italians charged with illegal liquor selling, and he demanded an opportunity to vindicate himself.
 "Does this specific interpretation apply to the statement of the fact in issue, or to the literary architecture of the state ment, or to the accuracy of the inter pretation?" asked the chair.
 "No sir, it does," was the reply. "Dan Sweeney's Italian is on the bum any how"
 "Mr. Chairman, rise to a point of order" said Judge Ford, putting in.
 "How long will it take to get to the point?" asked the chair.
 "My point is this" said the Judge, "That the trial of those cases cannot be discussed here without subiecting the Club to fine of S25 on each count and costs, for contempt of court"
 "He's got the habit" shouted Charlie Adam. "The town treasury is already overflowing with fines and costs, and more coming"
 The chairman pounded. for quiet, de- clared the whole business out of order, and commanded the disturbeEs to take their seats.
 Al. Herriman offered motion that all applicants for license be compelled to ap- pear before the Club for examination as to their fitness, social standing and ability to tell port wine flip from mixed ale flop.
 Horace Humphrey secondedthe motion in ringing speech in which he extolled the Sherman antitrust law, the public utilities commission and the value of quinine for breaking up a cold
 The chair sent Fred Collin out to hunt up the deputy Sheriff, and asked if some body wouldn't kindly make a motion or would command the respect of the janitor at least.
 The fat member moved to, adjourn, but was hooted down.
 Station Agent Finney offered a resolu- tion that a committee be appointed to as semble at railroad depot, some fine morn ing, when the engine Is taking itsregular drink, and if the usual slop-over trenches the passengers coming of the train, tar and feather the fireman who is responsi- ble, and give the engineer in charge Dutch whirl. The resolution was adopt ed by a unanimous vote, and Henry Ives, Victor Coe and Judge Whittlesey were appointed committee on tar and feathers.
 Henry Whitford was appointed choir master for the singing of the Wurra Wurra Glee Club, at the Business Mems Smoker, tonight.
 Clint. Roraback moved that the Club employ lawyer to investigate the mat ter of the fake fire, Friday night, and prosecute to the full extent of the law. Judge Ford offered an amendment that Attorney Nickerson of West Cornwall be retained to prosecute the case. This precipitated discussion between the Odd Fellows and the Canaan Citizens band members, which was getting hot when somebody called for the previous question. The amendment was tabled and the original motion fell through.
 The meeting then adjourned in some disorder, and the lights went out.
