DISQUALIFICATION.
XV .- No person who may be enrolled as a member of this Society shall be permitted to continue in membership when his proofs of descent or eligibility shall be found to be defective. The Council, after thirty days' notice to such person to substantiate his claim, and upon his failure satisfactorily so to do, may require the Secretary to erase his name from the membership list. The said person shall have a right to appeal to the Society at its next Court or at the General Court. If the said appeal be sustained by a two-thirds vote of the members present at such Court, the said person's name shall be restored to said membership list.
EXPULSION OR SUSPENSION.
XVI .- Any member, for cause or conduct detrimental or antag- onistic to the interest or purposes of the Society, or for just cause, may be suspended or expelled from the Society; but no member shall be expelled or suspended unless written charges be presented against such member to the Council. The Council shall give reasonable notice of such charges and afford such member reason- able opportunity to be heard and refute the same. The Council, after hearing such charges, may recommend to the Society the expulsion or suspension of such member, and if the recommenda- tion of the Council be adopted by a majority vote of the members of the Society present at such Court, he shall be so expelled or suspended, and the insignia of said member shall thereupon be returned to the Treasurer of the Society, and his rights therein shall be extinguished or suspended. The Treasurer shall refund to the said member the amount paid for the said insignia.
Special Courts may be called by the Governor at such times as in his opinion the interests of the Society may demand, and must be called by the Secretary on the written request of three members. All notices of meetings shall be sent out at least six days before the date of the meeting.

The Secretary shall send a printed copy of the proposed amend- ment to the members of the Society, and state the Court at which the same will be voted upon. No amendment or alteration shall be made unless adopted by a two-thirds vote of the members present at the Court voting upon the same.
-
ANNIVERSARY.
The Society will meet annually in General Court and will hold a banquet on October 10th. This date is selected because it com- memorates two most important events in Colonial history.
First-The occupation of Fort Chartres by English troops, October 10th, 1765. By the Treaty of Paris, concluded February Ioth, 1763, was settled for all time the question which had been in doubt for a century-whether French or English civilization and rule should shape the destinies of this continent. By this treaty Canada and that portion of Louisiana between the Alleghenies and the Mississippi were ceded by the French and came into possession of Great Britain. Capt. Thomas Stirling, with a company of the " 42d Highlanders, came down the Ohio in boats from Fort Pitt (now Pittsburg), arriving early in October, 1765. . On the tenth day of that month he relieved the French commander of Fort Chartres, St. Ange, who for some months had been under orders to give up the fort whenever a force of British came to relieve him. These were the first English troops who ever set foot in the Illinois country. Fort Chartres, built by the French in 1720, was in its time the strongest fortress in America. Its ruins are on the left bank of the Mississippi River, in Randolph County, Ill., fifty miles south of St. Louis and sixteen miles northwest of Kaskaskia.
Second-On October 10th, 1774, occurred the Battle of Point Pleasant, at the junction of the Kanawha with the Ohio River. This was a most important battle, and the complete victory over the Indians under Cornstalk put an end to their assaults upon our frontiers.
Both these events were important Colonial footsteps in the , direction of the West, and hence it seems most appropriate that this day should be selected as the anniversary of the first Society formed west of the Alleghenies.
.
INSTRUCTIONS TO APPLICANTS AND MEMBERS.
Family tradition will not be accepted by the Society for proof of ancestor's service.
No original or supplemental application will be accepted by the Society that is not complete in the following particulars :
I. Containing a reference for each act of service of ancestor.
2. No cyclopædias or genealogical works to be accepted as authority for service of ancestor, but reference required to doc- umentary records of the various Colonies, published Archives, histories of established reputation, and recognized works of local historical accuracy.
3. Proceedings of Congress as well as the proceedings of the Conventions, Assemblies and Councils of the various Colonies.
4. The pagination of reference in all cases to be required and verified.
5. Reference to original documents to be supported by such documents, together with two type-written copies thereof, the original to be returned to the applicant after verification of copies in the office of the Registrar.
6. All applications must be endorsed by two members of the Society.
The State Society publishes a Register triennially containing the name and ancestor's service of the members of the Missouri Society, and publishes, free of charge, all supplemental applica- tions. One copy of this book is furnished every member free. Extra copies can be had for $2.00 each.
The rosette to be worn in the upper button-hole of left lapel of the coat may be had of the Treasurer, George T. Parker, south- east corner Broadway and Locust, St. Louis, at a cost of 25 cents.
The insignia, in gold, costing $22.00, or in silver gilt at $12.00, may be ordered through the Registrar. It is optional with mem- bers whether they purchase the rosette or insignia.
20
Society of Colonial Mars.
The General Society issues a Diploma Certificate of Member- ship, engrossed on heavy parchment, with the signatures of the officers of the General Society and State Society attached. This Diploma is a fine work of art. It is optional with members whether they purchase the same. If desired, it must be ordered through the Registrar of the State Society, and costs $7.75 framed, and express charges to be added from New York to destination.
1
SUPPLEMENTAL APPLICATIONS.
When descent can be shown from more than one ancestor as described, supplemental applications may be filed-one for each additional line of descent.
FEES.
The membership fee is $5, and the annual dues $5, which sums must accompany the application.
The General Society also requires a fee of fifty cents for filing every supplemental application, which sum must accompany the same.
Blank applications and any information concerning the Society can be had by addressing the Secretary.
