CARNIVAL

AT CINCINNATI PROMISES TO BE A MAMMOTH AFFAIR IN EVERY WAY THE 11 O'CLOCK TOAST Explained by John Galvin, the Past Grand Exalted Ruler of the Order. The Elks' carnival at Cincinnati promises to be a big thing. Elaborate preparations are being made to entertain the guests, which will amount to several thousand. One of the nice features of the big meeting will be the parade in which the different lodges will participate, each

delegation wearing a dulerent uniform. At the 11 o'clock toast each night the following verses will be sung : "Should auld acquaintance be forgot, And never brought to mind; Should auld acquaintance be forgot And days o' auld lang syne? Chorus "For aul lang syne, my dear, For aulf. lang syne, We'll tak' a cup o' kindness yet, For auld lang syne." Very few persons not Elks understand the 11 o'clock toast, its origin and significance. Many imagine it is simply an occasion for Elks to drink a toast. Nothing could be further from the truth, for no prettier sentiment exists in all fraternalism than s the 11 o'clock toast of the .Benevolent and, Protective Order of Elks. "'".-NIr. John Galvin, of Cincinnati, Past V-. tbrand Exalted Ruler of the'Elks, and

, one of the ablest members of the order furnishes following brief his tory of the cusibm: s The 11 o'clock Toast. Une or tne most Deauiiiui customs connected with the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks is that when ever and wherever two or more Elks are met together, whether for pleasure or for the more serious affairs of life, and the hour of 11 o'clock is reached, they pause a moment in the rounds of pleasure or the whirl of business to think of those who are absent. This custom had its origin in the very early history of the order. The order was founded on the 16th day of February, 18CS. When the mem bers, who were at that time made up entirely of actors and professional people, met together, after the regular business was over they invariably resolved themselves into a social session. The Law of the Order. At one of these meetings, on May 31, 1868, a little over three months after the first meeting of the order, as the members were about to disperse lirotner ueorge jucuonaia, checked the abrupt and informal adjournment by the suggestion of a toast, "To Our Absent Brothers,' ' and there and then was ushered into existence the 11 o'clock toast, which has since become and is now one of the most conspicuous landmarks of our fraternity. It has passed from a custom into a law of the order, for Elks, when gathered together for business or pleasure at the hour of 11 o'clock to recall the touching sentiment, "To Our Absent Brothers." By the absent we mean and we think of those who are still in the land of the living but who are elsewhere engaged in the duties of life, or perhaps absent in temporary voyages to other lands or other climes, but we especially think of those who are eternally absent on that voyage, which we must all sooner or later take, and from which no voyager ever returns. In the observance of this custom where Elks are together in any number after thinking in silence for a moment of those who are absent, hands are clasped and a verse or two of "Auld Lang Syne" are sung. JOHN GALVIN, Past Grand Exalted Ruler, Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks. This morning's Cincinnati Enquirer contained an excellent picture Vof Joe Nicholson dressed in Quaker aostuine. From the . picture Joe

makes an ideal Friend. " There" Ts no question but " that the Richmond delegation will carry off the honors. . The Richmond Elks, seventy-five strong, will leave Monday on a special train for Cincinnati, about one hundred and fifty, including ladies, being in the party. The local Elks will all be dressed as Quakers, from the, "Quaker City of the West," and will form, one of the. most unique features of the entire -Elks' parade. It will be necessary for the Elks to shave off their mustaches, to present a true picture of Quakers and several struck when this was made known.

However, it will.be done by all. ELECTRIC LINE SURVEY. New Castle, Ind., July 15. Surveyors this week bagan taking the levels over the right of way for the Indianapolis, New Castle & Winchester electric line. The work began in this city and will require several weeks. It is understood that a survey is also being made over the. right of way of the New Castle & Richmond line for Eastern capitalists, and that the finan cing arrangements have been made. A I URBAN ROAD FROM GREENVILLE TO RICHMOND HAS BEEN BEGUN COMPANY ORGANIZED And the Directors Chosen Promoter Here Active Work on Road Will Begin Soon. Since the completion of the work by J. E. Cassat, in securing the right- I oi-way lor tne lnterurban line irom Richmond to Greenville, railway news I has been a little scarce pending the organization of the company and other preliminary arrangements which are not, in a public way necessarily newsy. However, the brief railway news drouth is again broken, and the faithful will hail with great interest the fact that the recent visit of Mr. Cassat to Cincinnati in the interest of this road, was successful and the company organization is now effected. The directors have been chosen and the incorporation papers will hi filed in Indiana and Ohio in a few days. Mr. Cassat was in the city this week conferring with a number of gentlemen who have interests in this line. Active work on the -new line will be started soon. NOT COMING BACK Santos-Dumont Angry Over Work of Crank at St. Louis. New York, July 16. According to a World dispatch from London, Santos-Dumont, the aeronaut, upon landing after his return from America, said to the Havre correspondent of the Daily Express: "I have no intention of returning to the United States to compete in the world's fair aerial flight. I never felt so angry and disappointed in my life as when the bag of my airship was found ruined at St. Louis. It would have taken at least two months to repair the damage which means a loss in money of $8,000. I am of the opinion that it was wrecked by a crank and not by one of my rivals." INSPECTING THE C. C. & L. A special train carrying some of the stockholders and officials of the C, H. & D. railroad company, which recently purchased the line of the C, C. & L., railroad passed through ,Muncie Thursday morning on a tour of inspection. In the party were J. 01cott, representing the interests of the C. H. & D., Pere Marquette; President Bradford, of the C. C. & L., and B. II. Harris, general freight agent of the latter road. INQUEST.

AUDITOR IN THE PUBLICATION OF A NOTICE IN A LOCAL PAPER MEETING CO. COUNCIL & Intimated That Auditor Was Trying to Cover Something Up An Explanation. In yesterday's papers county auditor H. J. Hanes published a notice calling a special meeting of the county council for Saturday, July 23, at 1 o'clock p. m. Last evening's Sun-Telegram commented upon the notice in the following way: " County Auditor Hanes has-called a special meeting of the county council for Saturday, July 23. The nature of the business to be considered by the council will not be made public." The above comment has caused the countv auditor considerable uneasi ness. It looked upon the face of it as if the county auditor was trying to eover somehing up. Where the information came from Mr. Hanes is at a loss to know. The time of the meeting will be taken up in considering a gieat many things. Among the matters to be taken up is the demand of the ex-sheriffs for fees they claim are due them. Then other affairs of lesser or greater importance will come up, and probably some things not now thought of. The Palladium will say for Mr. Hanes that he has nothing to cover up and that he is not only willing, but ready to publish everything of any interest to the public. Of course coming from a Democratic paper no great surprise was expressed. Four Cases Before His Honor This Morning. J. II. and Mamie Crowell claim to ic :tiu and wife.

PARK AT COURT HOUSE SALE OF IRON FENCE ANNOUNCED BY COMMISSIONERS OPINIONS OF CITIZENS On the Subject Without Any Garnishing, Expressed Very Freely. Up to Taxpayers. In last evening's Palladium the announcement was published that the county commissioners would offer for sale at public auction all of t' irqn fence which surrounds the court house. The sale to be on Saturday, September 17th at 10 o'clock a. m. This means that the commissioners are going to carry out their intention of making a park out of the court house grounds. Knowing the subject to be one of public interest the Palladium interviewed several citizens on the matter as follows: Clement FergusonThe park pro ject is a good one, but the fence surJ rounding the yard should remain, as jit affords protection to those inside j and makes the park more secluded and therefore more quiet. Dr. R. R. Hopkins The park proposition is one that should have the good will of all. The fence should be torn down, the yard TTDwn open, and a place giren for the poorer class.es to rest in the evening. John Rohling In my opinion there should be no hesitation about making the yard into a park. The citizens of that part of the city need just such a place. I am heartily in favor of the plan. Will Ferguson The plan is a good one, but for the sake of protection of the women and children inside, I think the fence should be left standing. J. M. Williams While the park proposition is all right, I am not in favor of destroying the beauty of the court house yard. Still, if it must be done, and the court house yard is the I onl' available place, make it into a i Park. George H. Knollenberg The plan to make a park in the court house am seems lo me to De a ver" ?001 lone, and there should be no hesitation on the part of any. The people of that part of the city need it, and need it badly. Dr. M. S. Marble I am in favor of making t the court house yard into a park and a resting place for the people after their day's labor. The plan is a good one and should be carried out. Cash Beall The project has my commendation, for I believe that it would be a good thing, not only for the people around the court house, but for the city at large. John Knollenberg I am in favor most heartily of making a resting place of the yard. It is utilized for nothing now, and the poorer people need a park in that part of the city. II Aden, July 16. The Russian steamer Smotenskstophed and the North Germon Lloyd steamer Prinz Heinrich in the Red Sea were yesterday compelled to surrender sacks of letters and boxes and parcels going to, the Japanese Prince Heinrich bound for Japan.
