THE SIBVICB8 I.N DETAIL.
After Exalted Kuler F. J. Fifzsim
moas had declared Soranton lodge No.
1CJ. Benevolent and Protective Order
of Kilts, duly organized, he gave plac
to Deputy Urand Exalted Kuler Det

Myers, of (?olumbus, O.
The first exeroiM after au eloquent

cance. Upon the Elk's altar in the

placed a symbol of "Justice," sur
mounting; that was placed "Brotherly
Love, tinted with tno hue of the for
get-me-not . while the capstone of the
pyramid waa labeled "Fidelity."
FINEST l.N THI LAND,
The rendition of au imprcnive ode
by the Elks' quintettp.comprising John
T. Watldns, Will Watkius, Fred C.
Hand, George DeWitt und Joseph P.
Bums, intervened, after which Grand
Deputy Detwiler formerlly accepted
the lodge in behalf of the grand lodge,
and followed that with a short speech
iu which he declared, with extraordin
ary emphasis, that he had never in all
his travels witnessed a lodge room
which equaled the ono iu Scrantou.
Hon. 1'. P. Smith was then intro
duced by the grand lodge deputy ex
alted roler as tho orator of the occa
sion. Mr. Smith said :
The simple dedicatory ceremonies now
drawing to a dose, are iu beautiful accord
With the elevated principles of the Bnev
olent and Protective Order of Elks, namely :
harity, Justice, Brotherly l.ove and Fi
delity. Broad as tho horizon of mankiud,
and limitless as tho boundaries of the
world, with no secret save one "Charity
without ostentation, " the order Is girded
by no class, sectarian, or selfish limitations.
With thesb as its fundamental nrinciples,
In harmony with the grander parts of all
croedr, ami representing the highest ideals
and aspirations of mankiud, all men may
come under its ample canopy, and, with
perfect freedom of conscience, commiogle
in fraternal unity.
"Peace hath her victorlos, no less than
war, and among the most potent of the
forces that contribute to these victories
are the principles embodied in the motto of
the order.
THE C.'KEATKST OI' (IRACES.
charity which Paul holds the greatest
of the graces that abide with us; Justice
which should rul?, come what may; Broth
erly Love which should bind together
nations no less, than families; and Fidel
lth the cement that gives cohesion to so
ciety and holds man to tho performance of
lu obligations as a social unit form the
foundation on which is erectod the noblest
institutions of man. It is not by tho pow
ers of mind alone that man has risen from
Itte conditions of barbaric life to the civil
isation of our own dny. In its intellectual
aspect, the civilization which the heathen
world attained was in no wise beneath
our own except as to mechanical invention
and the mastery of natural forces, while in
literature and art it rose to an eminence
which we today despair of reaching. Hut
the civilization developed through the
later centuries was differentiated from that
of heathenism by the subtle and slowly
permeating; forces of charity, justice,
brotherly love and fidelity divine forces
working in human nature and developing
nobler characteristics in the structure and
tendencies of society. Already these lorces
have won much for humauity and their
conquests over the evils that beset man are
steadily extending. They operate for the
common good. They suffer no man to live
to himself nlone, or to seek bis own good
through evil to another. For many con
turios they have been molding socinl aud
political institn Hons, warring against all
forms of oppression and evil, promoting all
things that make for human brotherhood
and equality and for the elevation of man.
With tho progress of tho ages they as
sert themselves more ami more visibly,
with an influence growing ever stronger
and broader, iu forms comprehending all
human interests. Ile-v move hand iu
hand with the intellectual powers, making
the achievements of the mind work for
the cause of humanity. They are fust be
coming the dominating forces in human
affair, and today, as never before, "He
reckons ill who leaves them out," 111 any
appeal to tho judgment of mankind.
OF ANCIENT ORIGIN.
Associations for mutual aid and protec
tion have existed in many forms, types of
which nreseen in the military orders of
the Templars, tho Knights of Malta and
tie Teutonic K&lgbti the guilds and cor
ELKS NEW H 0 M
porations of the middle ages and tho
benevolent order or later times. But not
all have been founded on the broad pria
doles of the order of Ela. Tcese prin
ciples have made their way slowly,
against the current of human selfishness.
Between the day when the feudal bond
united men for aggression as well as for
defeuce, for the maluteuauce of wrong
as well us of right, aud tho dav when 1111
tious unite to protest agaiust injustice and
oppression; when the red cro.-s ou the bat
tlefield is the badge of aid alike to
wounded friends mid foes, lies 11 gulf
which bus been largely bridged by the ill-
van os or these priociplec. And ere may
well hope that ch. rity, justice, brotherly
love and fidelity will yet prevail through
out the euith, making uu end of war end
OOlttUg mankind in tho bonds of peace
aud fraternity.
Tho operatious of societies such as tho
'Tlouovoleut and Protective Order or
Elkj" huvo contributed much to the
growth of these principles. Sprendiug
and gaining strength, through the associa
tion of thosu who believed in them and
sought to order their lives accordingly,
they have become recognised as essential
factors in the affairs of mankind. To the
"Elks" of Soranton la given u part ia the
noble struggle for their advancement In
this contest 1 bid you Qod-epeed, Hold to
the glorious motto; "Charity, Justice,
Brotherly Love and Fidelity, and "111 thiu
sign conquer."
As the chorus of the birds forms the
harmony of tho grooves, aud the budding
(towers add charm aud fragrance to the
springtime; so may this hall bo a place
where the melodious voice of charity
shull ever resound, und send forth the
balmy sweetness ot brotherly lovo to the
people of this community, carrying sun
shine and happiness into their hearts aud
homos.
After other exercises of an intesest
ing character the session concluded
with u hearty invitation on the part of
Exulted Ruler Fitzsiwmona to nil Elks
to attend the evening's Bocial session.

rapped for order and oponed tho festiv

THK 01'ENINU RFMARKSJ.
Through tho courte.-iv of the nutmban nt
this lodge the pleasant dutv devolves upon
me to extend a friendly greeting and cor
dial welcome to all visitors who havo
honored us with their presence upon this
cheerful and auspicious occasion. Our
highest aim. fondest hope and most earn
est desire tonight is to so favorably im
press you that you may conclude to revisit
us, hold u.-i iu kind remembrance nnd to
regard us as capable of givin 1 a true inter
pretation to tlio meaning of the grandest
principles ever inculcated for the, guidance
of humanity, namely, charity, justice,
brotherly lovo and fidelity. If we succeed
in this design wo will fee that
our purchase of (his magnidcent edifice,
embellishing it with the beauties of art
and dedicating it to the sincere brother
hood of man, have not been in vain. We
want you to cheerfully partake of our hos
pitality; enjoy our compaulonship aud un
reservedly enter into the pleasures of the
eveniug. I might weary you w ith a recital
of our struggles and triumphs and inci
dentally say tnat our lodge is only five
years old; that its membership runs into
the hundreds, and includes nearly all the
local prominent men iu the various walks
of life, but 1 will In guilty of nohuch un
pardonable offence I will leave the com
mission of that misdemeanor to our trutu
ful historian nnd the Inflicting it
upon au indulgent fraternity to the
Animal Keglster. We havo looked
rorward to this event with golden
anticipation. We hoped to make uew and
pleasant acquaintances and content old
friendships. We feel a realization of our
fondest expectations. While you are all
equally welcome, yet wo trust that speclnl
reference to our Wilkes-Brre friends may
not be considered Inappropriate. They are
members or our mother lodge, and citizens
of our mother county. There are two
happy mother's down there because thoir
offspring havo each outgrown them. They
have true motherly instinct and are proud
of their children when they do well, win
famoand crow big, Wo havo been, how
ever, somewhat neglectful of our matern
ity. We should have visited homo oftoner
nnd returned thanks for past kindnesses,
Bnt we have been too busy growing. Tins
happy gathering wil' make us morn
thoughtful, r.ut no one say that tho old
ladies are not weeping because of our
prolonged absence, for we beg for a re
union for the sake of old acmiaintaiice.and
tho good that it can do.
Again, gentlemen, I offer you the heart
felt welcome of our lodge, and earnestly
lequest you to join us in making this occa
sion memorable in theauuals of friendship
and glorious in tho world of F.lkdom.

character, he said: "We rejoice in

of the hospitality of which we havo
bad a taste tonight. "
Dr. P. F. Qunster was tho next per
son called upon to say something, lie

duet on flute aud clarinet by Eugene
Ham and Cliet Bridgman was rendered
In a splendid manner.
Ex Judge P. P. Smith w .s Hiked to
tell why he was defeated for j.nlgs. in

During the course of his speech Dr.
Leete indulged in a song, and for this
lie was fiiwd SO cents. Several other
fines were imposed with a
rapidity that bsftlsd description,
uuu iiiuairaieu vividly iba chairman a
lelicitous tack in the introduction of

a natural born kicker who. upon this
occasion, could find nothing to kick
about 0. Ben Johnson then suggested
that Brother Dil ley sing his famous
song, ''When Johnny Comes Marching
Home." The lodge bo ordered, and to
the accompaniment of Bauer's band his
melliflnons voice In dulcet accents
warbled out his Unqualified declina
tion. Joseph P. Burns was tlion im
pressed into tho service and amid mo.u
cordial applause sang"Tne Buccaneer "
Editor E. J, Lynett, of Dunuiore,
