ODDITIES IN CLUBS
Some Curious Associations That
Were Born In London.
' FREAKS IN NAVIES AND AIMS.
The Abduction Club Wit Formed For
the Purpose of Carrying Off Heire??e?
by Fore* and the Surly Club to Pro
mote the U?e of Abusive Language.
I One of the moat extraordinary clubs
| London has ever known, sa.va the
Standard. was the Sighing club, the
| members of which were supposed to be
wholly absorbed In thinking of their
i aweethearta. Kach would hold In hi*
| band a bit of ribbon, n lock of hair, a
purse or some other article belonging
to the object <f hla affections, and from
| time to time he would address this ar
I ticle in terms of endearment, no other
speaking being allowed. On Initiation
1 the member had to compose and recite
a poem in honor of his lady, and nt the
meetings a fine waa Imposed upon the
: member who did not sigh Ave times
within a quarter of an hour.
Again, there was the Abduction club,
organ lied In 1TH0 by some well con
nected Irish youths, who banded them
selves together to abduct heiresses and
good looking young women of gentle
birth. As there waa a large member
ship, many forced marriages took place
la consequence of their exploits. The
evil became eventually so serious that
a special act of parliament was passed
making abduction a capital offense.
The members assisted each other by
providing relays of horses and car
riages whenever necessary. The wealth
of the two sisters Kennedy, daughters
of Richard Kennedy of Rathmeaden
manor. Waterfori, caused the attention
of the nwnibera to l>e drawn to them
Gerald Byrne, grandson of Sir Gregory
Byrne, and .lames Strange Villard were
drawn in the lottery, and the abduc
tion took place on April 14, 1779.
The principals were arrested, tried
ami condemned and they were execut
ed In the following May. notwltbstand
iug the fact that ministers of the
court of Vienna, gram lees of S|tain and
French noble* implored their pardou
The club was introduced Into Knglamt
tn 1770, but dlslianded in 1?W2. when
twenty-nine members remained.
The No Nose club was founded tiy ii
gentleman who w-as au unwilling fol
lower of the Egyptian fashion of flat
faces. When the members dined to
gether and a young pig, the favorite
dish, was the principal Item on the
menu the snout was always cut off.
The Club of Pgly Faces was also
founded by a gentleman who boasted
an enormously large nose. Another
member had a chin of the sise and
shape of a shoe horn, another a huge
mouth and a fourth rery large, pro
truding eyes. No one was eligible for
membership who had not some facial
malformation, and all members on ini
tiation had to make a speech in praise
of Aesop, whose |K>rtrait hung over the
mantelpiece of the clubroom.
The Surly club had Its meeting
place near Billingsgate flsh market,
and the membership was limited to
cabmen, carmen and watermen, who
I used to meet once a week to exercise
the art of abusive language In order
I that they might not lose the reputation
they had gained. Any member found
i guilty of courtesy or politeness was
1 promptly fined
The Split Farthing clnlt was limited
In membership to men who agreed to
stint themselves to the utmost in order
to Incrcnse their possessions. One
member Is repotted to have had his
garments so darned that there was
not enough of the original material
left to show the texture. The mem
bers presented so starved an appear
ance that it was said there was not
an onnee of fat among the lot.
The Everlasting club was limited In
membership to a hundred, and the
members divided the day among them
selves in such a way that there were
always some present upon the prem
ises. The great Are of Ixmdon put a a
end to this institution, as the premise-;
were burned down, and the only mem
ber on the premises wag nearly burned
to death because he refused to leave
until he had emptied all the bottles oti
the table. The fire for lighting th<
members' pipes was nerer allowed t><
go out an old woman being kept solelj
for the purpose of attending to It. l>ur
ing the fifty years of its existence the
members smoked fifty tons of tobacco,
drank 80,000 butts of ale. 1.000 pipes of
port and 200 barrels of brandy in addi
tion to other liquora.
The Man Killing club was limited tii
membership to men who had killed op
ponaats In duel*. The conversation at
the gatherings was confined to bullets
wounds ami slaughter. The president
was said to have killed half a docer
men in aingle combat, and the seats at
dinner were arranged according to the
numbers the members had slain. At
banquets a side table was provided for
visitors who had only drawn blood
The club had not a lengthy existence,
as nearly all the members were exe

Trade At Home
1 1 is a hard thing to convince some proplf, who have acquired the
* mail order habit, that it is to their advantage to trade at home. Hie
green field* far away appeal to them. *o they send their money out of
town for something that is no better than can be found on the local
merchant's shelves. The money is thus gone where they, nor any one
of the community, will ever see it again, and where it ran do nobody
good but the person who has it and he is hundreds or thousands of
miles away.
THE MAIL ORDER PEOPLE
are not the only offenders who are blind to the interests of the commu
nity. The merchants are just as bad. Many of them send away for
thesr printing, while at the same time argue again*?mail order business.
