The Wurra Wurra Club.


 Ed Warner, in the unavoidable absence of the sexton, Mir. S. Billings Strong, who had to attend an oyster supper given by the Sunshine Society, and was there fore unable to be present to announce that the president, MT. Doctor Corwin, wouldn't be there to run the machine on account of a sick hoss, up Sodom way somewhere, that needed his attention more than the Club did. MT. Warner said he didn't care for the job of presid- ing, but if all who wanted him to run the meeting would hold up their hands, he would undertake it. Contrary minds signify by the same sign. Six hands went up in favor, and seventy-four against, but MT. Warner declared that the ayes had it. Ex-Mayor Rowe jump ed up and "doubted the vote," insisting that the afirmatives had been showed under by more than twelve to one.
 "Makes no difference" said Warner "I said if all those who want me 10 pre- side would hold up their hands, I would take the job-and they did. I'll admit there was only few of 'em, but I'll stick to my word. The meeting will be in order"
 The ex-Mayor settled back into his seat with the half-whispered ejaculation, "Well, I'll be dum-fuzzledl"
 "The gentleman says he will be dunn fuzzled," said the chair, solemnly. "If there is no objection his request will be referred to the dum-fuzzling committee. So ordered. The secretary will roll the call"
 But the secretary instead, called the roll, after which First Assistant Deputy Secretary Herriman read the minutes of the previous meeting, into which the rascal had surreptitiously inserted call for the forthcoming cornpop and sasfrilly guzzle of the Cornpop and Sasfrilly Club, at the newly equipped and rem ovated poppery in the Canfeld Block. The Opening Ode was sung by Charlie Adam, in the second degree, to the tune the old COW died on.
 A motion was offered by Frank Hitch cock "that the secretary be instructed to draw up petition, which all members shall be required to sign, requesting the lady cateresses of Pilgrim Church to proceed forthwith to organize another hash and pancake supper to be given at as early date as they can get the grIddle hot" The motion was seconded by a chorus so unanimous that no vote was necessary, and Mir. Hitchcock thanked the gentlemen cordially and went home happy.
 Sam Siegel got up and stated that he had the list of eligible ladies-damsels, spinsters and widows-complete, and was ready to read the names to the Club.
 "Go ahead" said Chairman Warner, eagerly, "Read away" But Donnie O'NeiI jumped to his little feet and ob- jected. "That list was authorized to be compiled during Leap Year, just after the bachelors were listed," said Mir. O'Neil, "and it should have been sub mitted before the end of last year. It would be in bad taste at this time, and I object to it." That closed the incident.
 w. ]. Reel stood up and said he thought it was about time the selectmen were giving some attention to the matter of the new cross-walks petitioned for some time ago, and moved that the proper committee be instructed to take the matter up with the board of city fathers and get something doing. Henry Reed seconded the motion. Freeman Dempsey said he would like to inquire what committee would be the proper committee to assign to the mission. The chair said he would refer the matter to the same committee he had referred Mayor Rowe's matter to-the dum-fuz- zling committeeman the motion was passed.
 Ozzie Vosburgh got up to suggest a design for the Clubs float in the Fourth of July parade, but the chair yelled, "No nonsense" and threw the inkstand at him, knocking him nonsenseless.
 "I will now sing the Closing Ode, after, which we will adjourn" said Chair man Warner, but as soon as he began to sing the members all hustled out and the formality of adjournment was un-' necessary.
