tions in the United ~States.
Societies Formed of the Lineal Descend-
* ants of the First Americans"Their
Numbers Constantly, In-
oggnaing,
Within the last year or two there bas
been a great rousing of interest in the
subject of Americangenealogy. Those
families whose ancestors were among
che early settlers of New England and
Virginia and the New Netherlands
\ave been especially industrious in
searching ancient records and estab-
ishing an American lineage of six,
seven, ¢ight, and, in some cases, nine, or
even ten, generations, though the lat-
ter are very rare iu this time. ~The
present living descendants of the first
settlers of New England, Virginia and
New 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 pr ompted research among family
records, is a difticult matter to deter-
mine. At any rate, the societiés seem
{o be increasing in number continually.
The eldest of them allis the Society otf
the Cincinneti, which was founded by
the officers of the revolutionary army,
after the peace of 1753. 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.
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-
clety of New York is similar. Noone
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 colon:es
prior to 1475. 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
Patricts, 1607-1057. Any man may join
this order v hois 21 years of age, or oyer,
i lineal descendant in theT male line of
vither parent from an ancestor who
settled in any of the eight original ~col-
enies from the settlement of James-
town, May 13, 1607, to May 1%, 1657, in-
elusive, and whose intermediate ances-
tors, during the war of the rev olution,
sided with the colonies against the
mother country, actively or in sympa-
thy and contributions of funds.
Then there is a Society of Colonial
Wars, men ibers of which are restricted
to persons who are direct descendants
in the male or female line from an an-
estor who served as amilitary or naval
of icer or was in the ranks under au-
thority of the colon: es in any of the
wars against savages or foreign pow-
ers. Membership'is probally confined
to men, for the National Society of the
Colonial. Dames of..\unerica andthe So-
elety of the Colonial Dames of America
vrovide for women with pedigrees.
While their names are so nearly iden-
tical as to be confusing, there are dif-
ferences in the qualifications whieh en-
title one to membership in them. The
National society is composed entirely of
owomen who are descended in ~their |
own right from some ancestor of wor- |
thy life who came. to reside in an Amer-
jean colony -prior to 1750, which an-
being a lineal astendant of the appli-
ant, shaH have rendered efficient serv-
ice to his eguntry during the colonial |
| period, ~either, j in. the Jounding of a com-
{ monWwealth or of an institution whieh
ik,
portance, or who shall have held an
important position in the colonial gov-
ernmept, andywho by distinguished
services, shall have comtributed, to the
founding | f this great. ang, power!ul
ng | Bation, Beryiees, ape Sin after 1753
are not, recognized.� This society is
divided intoT state acrietioe, which de-
cide upon the eligibility of a candidate
tfor membership. Tie other womenTs
sotiety requires'that the original .Amer-
ican ancestor of. a member shall have
been oefficient in the service of, the
come 40 Americs, prior to 137%.
The Colonial Order of the Acorn and.
| the 'Colominl. society are not so ex:
clusive. If one had any forefathers or
| |foremothers in the good old times he

Story. x
oT'll wager a dollar to a quartof/
sunshine,� said ex-Umpire George W.
Burnham, othat I saw the funniest play
ever made on the diamond. In 1883 IT}
was umpiring for Watkins at Port
Huron. ~DanT OTLeary came up there}
with the Pittsburgh Browns,
o ~By the four-tongue forks of DanteTs

o ~Thank heaven for that!
are at last upon my side!T
oWell, we went up to the park after
dinner. Mountjoy was pitching for
Port Huron. OTLeary had heard of the
then celebrated pitcher, but had not
met him. Dan headed the batting
orders. .
o ~So this is Dumjoy, is it not?T quoth |
Dan, as he took his position at the bat
o ~One strike!T [. shouted,
o~WhatTs that, George? You forget
we are from the same municipality. Let
me have one crack at the ball, and I'll
make a Canadian citizen out of it.T
o ~Strike two!T
oOTLeary was frenzied. ~I'll lose the
Dan bats left
handed. Mountjoy pitched him an in-
shoot. Dan stepped out of the lines
and knocked it away over Morrison into
the left.
o~Well, what do you think of me,
George, you great mountain of obesity
"go back on a fellow tow nsman, eh?
Well, just tell the scorers to mark down
a home run.T (Dan had made the cir-
cuit.)
o*T cannot do that, Dan,T I said.
oWhy not?
oYou're out,T
o*Well, what am I out for?T OTLeary
demanded in amazement.

the Methodist church in early Ife and
