FINE NEW CLUBHOUSE.
Emphatic proof In Ihls direction was the
purchase of the Athletic Club building,
1628 and 162S Arch street. In order to pro
vide a home for tho Fraternity nnd Its
tenants when tho city takes the present
building at 1414 Arch street, which Is on
the lino of tho Parkway. The new build
ing Is admirably adapted for tho purposes
of the Grand Fraternity nnd has a much
more valuable location than the organi
zation's present headquarteis. It has a
frontage of 44 feet on Arch street nnd a
depth of 150 feet. It is six stories In
height and Is built chiefly of granite.
It Is fitted throughout with every up-to-date
convenience, and the furnishings add
greatly to tho homelike atmosphere which
pervades tho entire building. Tho pur
chase price of the building was $155,000.
A number of lodge nnd building asso
ciation rooms will bo fitted out and new
(levators will be installed for tho use
Oi tenants. In the selection of these
rooms preference will bo given to the
present tenants at the organization.
FRATERNITY'S NOBLE PURPOSE.
Those who founded the Grand Frater
nity about 30 years ago made a ol6se
tudy of human nature. They found that
ths death of tho breadwinner of a fam
ily usually brought distress, and, nfter
discussing plans which would enable a
ftllow man to provide for his loved Ones,
fAj fraternity sprang Into being.
The founders cnose as their motto "Pru-
dens Futurl" thoughtful of tho future),
and bound tnemselvcs together with a
solemn covenant to see to It that tho
widow of a frater should never want for
bread, and that his children should be
cared for until they could caro for them
selves. They preached the doctrine of
the strength which lies In unity; they
helped each to help his neighbor, and, at
the sumo time, encouraged the spirit of
Independence by teaching each to help
himself.
Of tho old guard who survive thero Is
Frater Frederick Gaston, president of
the organization, who was chosen for this
office 23 years ago. It Is generally agreed
uiai no nas naa a large snare In the suc
cess of the order.
Co-operation is tho spirit of the mem
bers. They are all optimists and have a
personal interest, which evidently ac
counts for the steady growth of tho or
ganization. The order has many social activities
throughout the year, nnd today's outing
is evidence of their get-together spirit.

CITY DIVORCE ROLL DOUBLED
Six Months' Record Increased Prom
300 to 617 Ascribed to Change
in the Law
During the first six months of this year
617 divorces were granted In Philadelphia,
as against 300 for the same period In
19U, which sets a new high record in
the city's divorco history,
Tho Increase, according to lawyers who
handle considerable divorce cases, is due
to the recent revision of the divorce laws,
which make it much easier for unhappy
pairs to sever their marital relations.
They deny that marital unfaithfulness Is
on the Increase, saying that the new law
prevents In many Instances an injustice
being done through evasion of formal
service by the defendant.
Formerly a person entering suit was
not permitted to present all evidence un
til papers had been formally served on
the defendant, while the new law al
lows testimony to be presented after the
defendant has been served by publica
tion. CHANNEL BIDS REJECTED
Proposals to Improve Delaware Near
Pennsgrove Not Satisfactory
Bids for dredging a slv-mlle stretch
of the 35-foot channel of tho Delaware
Ulver below Pennsgrove, N. J., which
were received by Colonel Oeorge Zinn, at
the local branch of the United States
Army Engineers, have been rejected.
Colonel Zlnn declines to make known the
reasons for refusing to accept the bids
He said that they were not satisfactory
to the chief of the department.
It Is believed that the bids were too
high. The rejection of the bids, accprd
lng to Colonel Zlnn, will not seriously
Interfere with the completion of the
35-foot channel. It has not been decided
when bids will be called for again,

HINTED THAT T0SCANINI
MAY REMAIN IN ITALY
Conductor for Metropolitan
Opera Company Said to
Be Dissatisfied
Thero are hints from New York that
Arturo ToscannI, the conductor who has
gathered laurels for his interpretation of
German, Italian nnd French operas whllo
conducting performances lit New York
nnd Philadelphia for tho New York Met
ropolitan Opera Company, is going to
leave' tho great musical organization
which has been virtually under his di
rection since tho time Herr Conrled left
It soveral years ago,
Tho gossip goes on thnt Slgnor Tos
canlnl Is to remain In Italy Instead of
coming to America for tho opening of
the next season, for reasons which at this
time are merely conjectural. It is said
that he Is both tired and dissatisfied with
tho way artistic affairs of tho Metropoli
tan have been allowed to go lately, and
therefore he has chosen to forego his
140,000 or more salary for tho sake of his
artistic soul's peace. In fact, ho has not
signed the renewal of his contract with
the Metropolitan, though it expired Inst
April. Tho Milan Corrlero dclla Sera,
whose statements can be considered as
lespinslhle nnd reliable, declared re
cently that Toscanlnl is to remain nt
home.
There already is in New York much
gossip about Toscanlnl's refusal to sign
the new contract, and the Metropolitan
boxholders are urging the directors to
uso all their Influence to bring back to
America the one conductor who has risen
nbove mediocrity and who Is thought by
many to be without a peer. It is said that
he has never been asked to conduct tho
Wngnor'B "Illng Cycle," though he had
established his fame here with the vivid
Interpretation of the Melstcrstngers nnd
Trtstnn und Isolde. It 13 hinted in the
American entourage of tho conductor that
the Illng Cycle may offer the way to win
Toscanlnl back to the Metropolitan and
to his New York and Philadelphia ad
mirers. P. It. It. MAY ENTER DETROIT
Officials- of Company, However, Refuse
to Discuss Report
Officials of the Pennsylvania Railroad
would not say today if the railroad will
enter Detroit. From time to time In the
last several years It has been reported
that the road would invade the Western
city, but nothing has ever been done defin
itely. Difficulties are said to have been
met in finding a location for a terminal
in that city and also a satisfactory en
trance to It. Although it has never been
learned If the Pennsylvania wanted to
go Into the city, the road probably would
do so If the conditions were favorable.
Dispatches received from the Western
city said that W. W. Atterbury, vice pres
ident of the company, is working on plans
for starting the work. Mr. Atterbury,
however, Is in Philadelphia and wag at his
office in Uroad Street Station this morn
ing. The Detroit dispatches said that the
cost to the Pennsylvania In carrying out
'the plans would be approximately 120,000,000
and that the road would use the tracks
of the Pere Marquette Railroad, which
now Is In the hands of a receiver. This
road could be used as the connecting link
between Toledo, Detroit and the East.

tho Spanish-American War ns n volun
teer In the Medical Corps, fulfilling the
tradition'' of n military family. All of
his forefathers on both sides of Doctor
Smith's family served their country, and
mnny of them died on the battlefield.
The funeral was attended today by
