About Fifty Genealogical Organiza-
tions in the United States.
Societies Formed of the Lineal Descend-
ants of the First Americans—Their
Numbers Constantly In-
creasing.
Within the last year or two there has
been a great rousing of interest in the
subject of American genealogy. Those
families whose ancestors were among
the early settlers of New England and
Virginia, and the New Netherlands
have been especially
searching ancient records and estab-
lishing an American lineage ’of ..six,
seven, eight, and, in some cases, nine, or
even ten, generations, though the lat-
ter are very rare in. this time. The
resent living descendants of the first
settlers of New England, Virginia and
Xew Netherlands are mainly of the
eighth generation.
The last year or two also has seen
the organization of numerous societies
requiring certain ancestral qualifica-
tions for membership. Whether or not
the fresh interest in genealogy sug-
gested them, or the ambition to join
them prompted research among family
records, is a difficult matter to deter—
mine. At any rate, the societies seem
to be increasing in number continually.
The eldest ofthem all is the Society of
the Cincinnati, which was. founded by
the officers of the revolutionary army,
after the peace of 1783. Membership
in the society is limited to the eldest
male posterity of the officers who first
formed the organization, and, in case
of the extinction of the direct line, to
the next in order of descent, if, in the
judgment of the society, he proves
worthy of the honor. .
Counting the old and the more recent
ancestral organizations, there are now
about 50 in the country. Some are for
men, some for women, and some even
for children. The Society of May-
flower Descendants was formed by
lineal descendants of the band of Pil-
grims who landed on Plymouth Rock
' in December, 1620. " The Holland So-
ciety of New York is similar. No one
’is eligible to membership in it except
a descendant in the direct male line
of a Dutchman who was a resident of
Manhattan or the. neighboring colonies
prior to 1675. Other organizations like
these are the Colonial Society of Massa-
chusetts and the Netherlands Society of
Philadelphia. One Of the exclusive
societies is the Order of Founders and
Pat-riots, 1607—1057. Any man may join
this order who is 21 years of age, or over,
a lineal descendant in the male line of
either parent- from an ancestor who
settled in any of the eight original col-
onies from the settlement of James-
town, May 13, 1607, to May 13, 1657, in-
clusive, and whose intermediate ances-
tors, during the war of the revolution,
sided with the colonies against the
mother country, act'n’" or in sympa-
thy and contribution: . _' 2';:.... :. _
Then there‘ is a Society of Colonial
W’ars, members of which are restricted
to persons who are direct descendants
in the male or female line from an an—
cestor who served as a military or naval
officer or was in the ranks under au-
thority of the colonies in any of the
wars against savages or foreign pow—
ers. Membership is probably confined
to men, for the National Society of the
Colonial Dames of America and the So
ciety' of the Colonial Dames of America
provide for women with pedigrees.
While their names are so nearly iden-
tical as to be copfusing, there are dif-
ferences in the. qualifications which en—
' title one to membership in them. The
National society is composed entirely of
“wome‘n who are descended in' their
own right from some ancestor of wor-
thy life who came to reside in an Amer-
ican colony prior to 1750, which an-
cestor, or some one Of his descendants,
being a. lineal. ascendant of the appli-
cant, shall have rendered efficient serv-
ice to his country,during the colonial
period, either in the founding of a com-
monwealth or of an institution which
has survived and developed into im—
portance, or who shall have held an
important position in the colonial gov—
vapmn
industrious in -
J
ernment, and who by distinguished-
serviccs shall have contributed to the.
founding of this great and powerful
nation. Services rendered after 1783
are not recognized.” This society is
divided into state societies, which de-
cide upon the eligibility of a candidate
for membership. The other women's
' society requires that. the original Amer-
ican ancestor of a member Shall have
been “efficient in! the service of the
cOuntry, either in the founding of a
town or a commonwealth that has sur—
vived and developed into importance,
who held an important position in the
colonial government; or who as a. states-
- man or officer contributed to the
achievement of American independence,—.
through which was created a great and
"‘ ‘.-—a'"
powerful nation.” And he must have
*come to America prior to=1776.- ‘ ‘
‘1 The Colonial Order 'of the Acorn and
the Colonial society are not. so ex-
clusive. If one had any forefathers or
foremothers in the good old times he
is pretty sure to be eligible. The so-
cieties based upon an ancestry which
buckled on the armor in the revolution.
or the war of 1812 are almost legion
in' number. There are Daughters of
the American Revolution, Daughters of
the Cincinnati, Daughters of the Revolu-
tion, National Society of the Children
of the American Revolution, Society of
the Sons of the Revolution, and Society
of Sons of the American Revolution.
It. is probable that even the most ex-
clusive of these orders count as mem-
bers but a handful of men and women
who are eligible. The lineal descend-
ants of the Pilgrims must now be like the
sands of the seashore for multitude, and
one need only look through the several
genealogical registers and magazines
to get an idea of the hosts hidden away
in cities, in lonely country places, and
in-~ the uttermost parts of the earth,
who might, if they chose. join these
ancestral orders.—-—Buffalo Courier.
RAN THE WRONG WAY.‘
This Is a Most Remarkable Baseball
Story.
“I’ll wager a dollar to aquart of
sunshine,” said ex-Umpire George W.
Burnham, “that I saw the funniest play
ever made on the diamond. In 1883 I
was umpiring for lTatkins at Port
Huron. ‘Dan’ O’Lcary came up there
with the Pittsburgh Browns.
“ ‘By the four—tongue forks of Dante’s
lightning, George,'bth_I’m glad to see
you. What. are you doing here?’ was
Dan’s preliminary.
"‘ ‘Umpiring.’
“ ‘Thank heaven for that!
are at last upon my side!’ .
“Well, we went up to the park after
dinner. Mountjoy vvas pitching for
Port Huron. O’Leary had heard of the
then celebratedpitcher, but had not
met him. Dan headed the batting
orders. ' -
“ ‘So this is Dumjoy, is it not?’ quoth
Dan, as he took his position at the bat.
'“ ‘One strike! ’ I shouted.
“ ”What’s that, George? You forget
we are from the s'ame municipality. Let
me have one crack at the ball, and I’ll
make a Canadian citizen out. of it.’
“ ‘Strike twlo!’
“O’Leary was frenzied. ‘I’ll lose the
ball in spite of you.’ Dan-bats left
handed. Mount-joy pitched him an in-
shoot. Dan stepped out of the lines
and knocked it away over Morrison into
the left. ‘
“ ‘Well, what do you think of me,
George, you great mountain of obesity
—go back on a fellow townsman, eh?
Well, just tell the. scorers to mark down
a home run.’ (Dan had made the cir-
cuit.) , '
“ ‘I cannot do that, Dan,’ I said.
“ ‘Why not?’
“ ‘You’re out.’
“ ‘Well, What am I out. for?’ O’Leary
demanded in amazement. "
“ ‘For running the bases in the wrong
way.’ .
“O’Leary was so excited that be ac-
tually made the circuit by way of third
instead of first.”——N. Y. Telegram.
The fates
Lobster Newberg.
Take, the meat of a. two-pound lob-
ster and cut it into small pieces; melt
two tablespoonfuls of butter in a
chafing dish or frying pan, add the lob-
ster and cook for five minutes; add one
tablespoonful of brandy and one of
sherry; cook for three minutes, stir-
ring often. Have ready the yolks of
two eggs, beaten with one-half cupful
of cream; pour this over the lobster,
cook two minutes, stirring constantly
to prevent curdling; serve very hot.
This recipe makes enough for four per—
sons. Season with salt, pepper and
nutmeg—Good Housekeeping.
Floral Shoulder Straps.
Flowers on ball dresses are “correct,”
but they are, so far, onlyrused as shoul-
der straps, and generally in a combi-
nation of colors. Thus white and
mauve violets and roses, wall-flower
and narcissus are very, happy, if, be it
‘ well understood, the flowers are of the
very best quality; otherwise it is pref-
erable to make your shoulder straps
of full miroir velvet, finished off with a
chou, as there is nothing more unsatis-
factory than common flowers—Phila-
delphia Record.
True, True.
“Apparently there is no use for horses

still have them in our midst.”—-—Pitts-

' ‘ ' TEE ' TOBACCO mm.
' War Between. Cigarette and Plug Tobacco .
Men Probably Ended.
ST.’LOUIS. May 20.—It isnot at all un-
likely that the fight bethen the warring
cigarette makers and the plug tobacco
. makers will be called off at an early date.
.In St. Louis there are now five of the
leading tobacco manufacturers of Vir-
ginia, all of 'whom were entertained at
the expense of Liggitt 85 Myers. and the
Drummond Tobacco company. They are
John D. Horsely and W. H. Burroughs of
Lynchburg, Va, ard A. T. Buford, P. T.
Conrad and .l’. D. Williams of Richmond.
While this delegation is made up of
plug tobacco manufacturers it is said they
are here to arrange the basis of a settle-
ment to be effected between the tub coo
concerns. On one side is the Cigarette
trust manufacturing plug tobacco and on
,the other is the plug tobacco men making
cigarettes. The war has been on ever since
the trust Went into the plug tobacco busi-
ness several months ago. and only a. shert
time ago there was a meeting of, tobacco-
nlsts in this city at which it was intimat-
ed that both sides had enough of the fight,
and that each was willing to quit If some
means could be found to do so gracefully.
The local manufacturers, ,
about one-third of the plug output of this
country, claim the visit of the Virginians
has no significance, and any effort to see
the visitors met with a reply that the gen-
tlemen were not in their rooms.
BANK OFFICIALS IN TROUBLE.
Serious Charges Made by the Federal
Grand‘Jury at Denver.
DENVER, May 20.—The federal grand-
jury. new in session, has found several in.
dictments against bank .ofl‘icials and oth-
ers, accused of having conspired to defraug
depositors in banks in this city, whic
have closed their doors during the last
three years. John J. Relthmann. presi-
dent, aud John J. Beithmann, .lr., vice
president; Charles M. Clinton, cashier,
and Charles Kuuemlller. assistant cashier
of the German National bank. are charged
with having falsified figures in the report
to the comptroller of the condition of that
institution on May 4, 1893. It was also
announced today that D. F. Miller of Chl-
cago has been indicted on the charge of
embezzling $125, 000 from the Commercial
National bank, and that Charles H. Dow,
who was president of the Commercial, is
charged with having conspired with Miller
to defraud Commercial depositors and
with having violated the national banking
law by loaning to Miller $145, 000. whereas
under the law the bank could not,lOan to
one individual or company more than 10
per cent of Its capital stock, which was
$200,000.
Dan Stuart’s Hopeless Task.
HOUSTON, May 2. O—Dan Stuart passed
through the city on route to the City of
Mexico. .He is going to arrange for a
puglllstic battleground. Fitzsimmons'
signature to the articles with Corbett‘has
not been obtained, but it seems probable
from what Stuart says that he will be able
to bring them together. His visit to Mex-
lco Is to satisfy himself that if the fight is
arranged he will be able to pull it off.
Schlatter Appears Again. _
SANTA FE, May 20.—Francis Schlatter,
the healer, has been heard from agalp,
this time at a ranch 60 miles south of
Lordsburg, near the Mexican line. He
stopped at Alamo, where he met Mr. Fas-
sett, brother of .T. Sloat Fassefit of Elmira,
N. Y. Mr. Fassett is crippled In one leg.
The healer pressed his hands over the leg.
and Mr. Fassett avers that it is growing
straighter. '

JOHANNESBURG, May 20.—Tbe mining
and industrial outlook is very bad, owing

Sisyphus
was the anus
. 4 cut hero cons
demned by the
gods to push a big
boulder up-hill
forever, lest it should
roll down and crush
him. When the myth-mak-
/ ers got up that story they
must have been thinking of
dyspepsia; for there is certainly no other
trouble on earth that keeps you so ever-
lastingly struggling against being crushed
intoutter despair. Anything that cures
dyspepsia lifts about half the weight of
misery that crushes mankind,—-—and wo-
mankind. ~
The trouble with most of the so-called
dyspepsia-cures, is that they don’t cure.
They give only temporary relief. Indiges1
tion usually extends all through the diges-
tive tract, from the stomach clear down to
the large intestine ; the liver too is frequent-
ly involved in the trouble being torpid and
inactive. For a. thorough, radical, per-
manent cure you must have the whole dia
gestive organism set right—Not violently
stirred up, but regulated. Doctor Pierce’s.
Pleasant Pellets will do it. They stimu-
late the digestive juices of the stomach;
invigorate the liver and help it to actively
secrete the bile; and act gently on the
bowels to promote a regular healthy move-
ment. This means a complete and last-
ing cure of digestive troubles.
The “ Pellets ” are not a severe cathartic.
They act on the bowels naturally and com-
fortably though surely. The dose can be
regulated to your needs, and when the
“ Pellets” have done their work they can
be discontinued. You don’t become a
slave to their use, as with other pills. -If
the druggist suggest some griping pill that
gives him more profit, think what will
gnzfit you most. , _ _ , .
