The Whitechapel Club

The Whitechapel Club was started in 1889 by a small group of newspapermen in Chicago, Illinois. The club was named after the area in London where Jack the Ripper murdered his victims. It only lasted five years, ending in 1894.While the core of the club members were newspapermen, the club members included artists, musicians, physicians and lawyers. Some of the well known members of the club included Brand Whitlock, George Ade, and Finley Peter Dunne.

Onward to war they marched
Held high the cross they gilded
Sang sweet and low
Pulled the apostates from their homes and killed them
No penance anymore
Crusades are play for children
The bitter lie
Only the Lord knows why
We die
We die

Here's that old time religion
Burn God and blame the witches

Close all the windows
Keep all the doors shut
The sun is sinking
The plague pit's filling up
There's no containing
The curse in our blood
The river's rising
The plague pit's filling up

Onward to war they march for
A half point percentage
Told all the town
They'll make a killing with their compound interest
No penance anymore
No cheap indulgences
The bitter lie
Only the Lord knows why
We die
We die

Here's that old time religion
Burn God and blame the witches

Close all the windows
And keep your door shut
The sun is sinking
The plague pit's filling up
There's no containing
The curse in our blood
The river's rising
The plague pit's filling up
