STILLWATER, Minn, July 21— A rare old bottle of wine, which has been present at every meeting of the Last Man Club, today occupied its place of honor on the table, set for thirty-four, when three of the four surviving members of Company B, Minnesota Volunteers, held their an- nual reunion here. The wine, it developed, had been giving one of the members much con- cern, he sald today, and the question of its disposal came up for serious consideration. The wine was pre- sented to the club, which was organ- ized thirty-nine years ago by the thirty-four members of the company, and ‘the constitution provided that the last man shall attend the annual banquet and from this bottle drink a toast to his dead comrades, then close the books of the club.

Peter Hall, Stiliwater, Minn., the oldest member of the cluly when elected president to succeed Adam Marty, organizer and president, who died last winter, accepted the honor and then in a hesitating manner spoke of something which, he said, had been bothering him a long tim “Our constitution provides “that when all but one of our mem- bers are dead the last man shall attend the annual banquet on the anniversary of the battle of Bull Run as usual, and with this bottle of wine, which has been kept intact since 1886, drink a toast to his dead comrades. With this rite he will close the books of the Last Man Club. “But it has occurred to me, as per- haps it has to you, that the last ban- quet would be a very sad occasion. Each banquet for many years has been saddened by the rapid inroads of death, and I want to make a sug- gestion, ‘which we can consider for another ve E q upon at our Dext meeting. That Is that we change our constituiion so that the last two men shall drink the toast and break up the club.” To Be Paxsed On and On. The question then came up for dis- cussion nd_several s suggest The one that seemed to meet gith the greatest approval was wicer the last toast had been ik th ttle with the remaining p and presented to the Post of the American L {gaua i to form a similar Last | San¢ nd that it is to be passed lon until, if ever, the nations of the otubine 10 umake 1 war im- possible. | ... tnree present today were Mr. | Hall, John Goff of the Soldiers’ Home, Minneapolis, and Charles Lockwood of Chamberlain, D.
