EARLY CLUBS IN AMERICA. The Fint One Wai Founded In Phila delphia In 1717. The two earliest clubs In America, according to Colonel Henry Wntterson in his "History of Manhattan Club," were the Fish House club of Philadel phia, founded in 1717. and the Ho boken Turtle club of New York, which was started In 1797. Then came the Sons of Liberty and the Sons of St. Tammany, which originated in the brain of one William Mooney, an up holsterer of 23 Nassau street The Sons of St. Tamilian?, Colonel Watterson finds, were so railed afte' an Indian chief in derision of Eng land's patron, St George, and one of tbelr mala objects was not, as some have supposed in the case of the Tam many organization, to put good Demo crats Into every job that paid any thing, but "to arouse anti-British feel ing and to dUemmluate knowledge concerning the principles of true po litical liberty." The Sons of St Tammany, later the Society of St Tammany, was opposed to all trends of aristocracy, and It i counted as its natural enemy the So iclety of the Cincinnati, whose mem bership was originally designed to pass down by inheritance. The first clnb of New York founded on the lines of the London social In stitutions was the Union, In 183a What "C-arbler" Once Meant "Garble," "garbled." "sarbler." are words which nowadays convey quite a different meaning from that which was formerly accepted. "Garble" orig inally signified simply "to select for a purpose." At one time thre was an officer, temed "'the garbler of sploes." whose duty It was if visit the shous and examine the Rpices, ordering the destruction of all impure goods. H's dutlen were similar o those of the In spector of the modern health depart ment who forbids .ue sale of decayed vegetables or tainted meat. The word comes from a root meaning "to sift." The Imparities sifted out have In the course of generations corrupted the term till n "garbled report" is no "ong er a report wherefrom all uncertainty has been removed, but one that Is full of misrepresentation and made mis leading with deliberate intent Outlawry In Scotland. The unusual sentence o' outlawry recently proiiounced bv the Scottish courts Is a relic of the days before ex tradition existed. For it was the usual nunlshmeut of those who wilfully avoided the execution of legal process and was intllcted upon the criminal who fled the country and could not be brought back. In the old days to be outlawed In the case of women they called it waived meant that one could he knocked on the head by any passer by, and outlaws In fact were said to be caput Inplnuni that Is, tbey had a wolf's bead and could be treated as a wild beast.

Plan New Road Over Siskiyous Residents of the Blue Ledge and upper Applegate country are Inter ested in the proposition to have the government build, or assist in the building of a wagon road from Eu reka to Seattle Bar. The trail part of the way is on a wagon grade, and would follow the Cook and Green trail over the Siskiyous. The trail was originally built with the expect ation that it would be built Into a wagon road. Maps of the country to be traversed have been compiled and will be presented to the govern mnt engineers at an early date. The road would pass through four cop per camps nearly as large as the Blue Ledge, and would be of high value to the mining interests of southern Oregon, as much ore Is now partially developed lacking means of transportation. It is the intention to have the four counties the road would traverse to work In harmony to secure the project. Royal Society crochet cotton, 10c, any size.
