.6 THE S N TRIBUNE MONDAY 2IOBNING. DECEMBER 2, 1895. i -'- ELKS' LODGE OF SORROW Concluded from Pare 5.1 ,nd ease, his .whole manner simply In dicating that he was endeavoring to put forward the substance rather than the embellishments of his thought He 4aaM: x Attorney Taylor's Address. The organisation of men known by the name ot the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elk, has acquired a distinctive reputation Tor hilarity and merriment. Not only has Its name, in the minds of many people, become the synonomous with mirth, but there la abroad an idea that K:vlty Is the controlling factor of our instl tutlon. Now, like many other things that have been said of people, this idea is not altogether true. In the order of Elks, as In all other insti tutions of its kind, we have occasions es. peclally devoted to pleasure, and other limes appropriated to the consideration of 'Rrave matters. Hut, whatever muy be the purposes and Incidents of the retcular com munications, or even the special sessions t,ot this order, there Is In each year one day 'that is specially set apart and particularly devoted to serious concerns, and on that day. the hearts of all the Elks are entirely divested, not of good cheer and lively sym pathy, but of all expressions of ninth or merriment. We are here assembled to night for the purpose of commemorating ,.the memory of those of our members who Hiave gone to their tlnal uccount. Kor the purpose of affording- to the families and .friends, of our deceased brothers an evi dence that their memory Is fervently cher- 'Istied In our hearts. For thi purpose of proclaiming to this community the names end virtues of those who have gone from our midst and no longer respond to our loil can of membership. It hus so often been said we are all crea tures of environments, that, by very ., It l.na ,Aor,nu U I, nuniiotiii tPlltll 'While It Is true that the pleasures, desires, sentiments ami even the characters of men largely ueree with those of the age in which they live, yet, at the same time, it Is also true that the human race is natur ally endowed with certain natal impulses and emotions, which. tluouKhout all gen erations, have ideutllled themselves as iklndred and children of the same common tiarent. There is implunted within the breast of every human being an Instinc tive desire to live, and. rowlm; out of that desire and the assurance of revela tion, o. hope for Immortality. Horn of the same Impulse which prompts Hint desire and that ))(:.' has grown in the heart of nvery reasonable being, a. wish to be re membered by his friends and neighbors after no has paid his last debt. Sentiment That Is Not New. This sentiment In the hearts ot men Is by no means new; but, on the other hand, ante-dates the remotest history of all forms of civilization, and. In on form or unolher, is mingled with the history of the heart promptings of all men. A glance at the pages of hMory, from the earliest .times to tne present, shows us that among 'all civilized people there have always been various customs and peculiar fashions of Commemorating the memory of the dead. We learn from the history of the earliest people, of whom we have any written rec ord, that Abraham having buried his wife, Sarah, In the land of Canaan, afterwards. That he might conspicuously mark the pluce of her burial, and thereby preserve 'her memory to after generations, secured 'the same pluce for the interment of his fumlly and kindred. Among the ancient Egyptians, an art, which to them was one of their sacred mysteries and ngalnst the revelation of which they religiously Kuarded the art of embalming their dead was the out growth of the same Inherent sentiment. Among the ancient Grecians and the Ktruscans there prevailed the custom of Incremation, prompted by a desire to pre serve the memory of their dead by pre serving their ashes. Some of the most magnificent structures that have ever been erected were tombs, uch as the pyramids of Egypt, the castle of St. Angelo, the tomb of .Metella anil the temples of India. In modern Europe, con nected with the Institution of cathedrals, grew up the custom of Interring distin guished persons within the churches and the so-called "common people" in the churchyards. And dually, at tne present day, we(have elaborate burlul grounds or cemeteries, many of which, by reason of their magnltlcence, are national in their charactets. In expression of the same sentiment, and in appreciation of the ser vices of the veterans In the last struggle between American freedom and human slavery, there has been established by the government of this nation an Institution known as "Memorial Day," upon which all patriotic people find It a pleasure to visit the graves of those brave soldiers, erwate them with beautiful llowers. viiiuieiiiKuu ui iuvr, uuiini u iiou hum im mortality, and renew their declarations of irratltude to that sleeping host in the Silent cities of the dead. Itenson They Assembled. While we come here tonight, as mom tiers of our order, for the purpose of pay Ins; a proper tribute of respect to the memory of our departed brothers; and while to this demonstration of our regard for their memory we are moved by the same human Impulse which has moved the people of this world In kindred directions from the Genesis of her history, yet at the same tltne.w.e. come not, hero In imitation of any national custom or social cere mony; but, on the other hand, we are here assembled In obedience to the obligations due from us to our departed brothers as members of this, our great fraternity, and towaril Ihe discharge of those obligations we have adopted a form of expression Feculiar to itself, singularly distinguished rom all other kindred demonstrations, not by its elaborate elocutionary preparation, nor by its exquisite artificial rendition, but by .Its simplicity of substance and form. Aealn, while wo come hero tonight clothed with the poetic spirit of the traditional Ivy nnd amaranth, -and bearing in our hands fanciful wreaths of everlasting flowers, prepared to dpcornte the tombs of our sleeping brethren with these tokens of love and affection and ready to garnish their graves with those emblems of immortality, yet we are not prepared to disguise their memory with any misconceived names of high sounding greatness we ore content with, a rendition to them of tho tribute Justly due. Though we are unable to show you the record of any hero, distinguished for his valor or military conquest; though we can not mention to you the name of any brother who, In his lifetime, was eminent for his activity find prominence In the councils of this nation; though we shall not pretend to you that any one of them was famous for his deep learning or his intellectual greatness, and even though we could do all those things, neither of tnera would be in the scope of this even ing's service, the purpose of which Is more particularly designed to attend those per sonal virtues that endear men to their families and friends; not so much to cele brate the acquisition of outward greatness 'as to mark the progress of that moral warfare that is continually being waged 'within men's hearts. . ...... Kather Visit the Last Home. Wo would rather gently lead you out lo the last homes of our departed brethren, end pausing over those narrow houses. In the case of each and everyone who has followed the teachings of his order, we would truthfully say to you, not in Imita tion of the great occasion, but In the words whlifh the great poet put In the mouth of Home's greatest eulogist: "His life was gentle; and the elements Ho mixed up In hitn that nature might i '" stand Op And say to all the world, "Here was a - man." ' Though not iHstlngtilshed for either his valor, his statesmanship or his learning, -yet "Here was a man" among his fellows nd neighbors, honored, respected, loved tnd trusted; honored for his charity of heart; for his sympathy with the misfor tunes of his fellow-man, nnd for the eadiness to forgive the transgressions of tils brothers; respected for his integrity of character. or the loftiness of his purity of tieart and for his justice In commerce with iOVomenJ uuu tt uiucu win v . ., , i Art tnost competent to folly oppreclste the purity, sweetness, and delicacy of Conors x tiOAr, aad to discover new sees for It dally. mm mm 1 m.i a a-n lathe form of washes, eolations, ete, for J aistreuinf inflammations, lmuKions, ana r. weaknesses of the mucous membrane, it has , proved most grateful. , . , Cctiotoa BoAr appeal is the refined and ulti rated everywhere, u the most effect Its SlnporifjiBtfond beautifying soap, uwellu feet sad sweetest for toilet aad bath.

As the -days come and go, and another year of the history of our order elapses, inexorable messenger of death, bearing his awful summons, still continues his in discriminate visitations; unheralded and unannounced, invsterlous as the wonders of Providence, his pallid .presence once more appears among our numoer. Since tho close of our last lodge of sor row a single shaft from the grim hunts man has pierced our midst. This ghastly and unerring archer, as of old, still loves a shining mark. At our last memorial servlpf.. snv nne there stuod before us one of our number who, in the beautiful lungunge characteristic or his deep learn ing and rare genius, paid a tribute of re spect to the memory of one who has gone to his final rest. While from us have gone the words of that aDiirouriute expression of our regard for the memory of the de parted, yet the Impression then made on our minds by the beautiful thoughts ex pressed and the sweet worus 01 consola tion there uttered, still lingers with us. He Wss I'nlvcrsolly Loved. I never entoved the uleasure of a close acquaintance with Dr. Leete, but he' was so well known and so universally loved and respected !)' those who knew him tnat uny worus 01 romiiienuaiiun uy me tu them would be a tresjKiss on their time. Erom my slight acquaintance with him, and from what 1 have learned from the many who knew him well, we are proud to know and suv that he was a faithful member of this lodge, who appreciated the teachings of this order and strove to ex emplify them in his dally Intercourse with men; that the door of his heart was ever open to his fellow-man, and strangers could enter there without fear or rebuke. He was generous to a fault, and the geniality of his disposition ever radiated wun tne lustre 01 lerveni sympuiuy. xns hulilts of Ufa weru methodical and exem plary. He was a loving husband and a doting father; he freely forgave nil who may have injured him, and if In his well spent life he ever wronged any person it was an error of the understanding and not of the heart. To the sons and daughters of these our brethren who have laid down the burdens of life we would say. "You are In the midst of the enjoyment of a noble lineage; and to their families we would sav. "There has descended to you a royal heritage." An occasion of this kind, and. in truth, every public demon stration on our part, seems to demand a jimllllfution of the fac t of our organisa tion, and this more particularly in view of the fact that there Is current In every community a certain degree ot sentiment licit secret unionization of all kinds lire arrayed against individual existence and effort, against religion and the good gov ernment of notions, and In many cases this sentiment is entertained by those whn. thnui'li unfortunate In their discov eries, have been diligent In their inquiries and are honest In their convictions. While we' Hatter ourselves that we are enthusiastic In the promotion of the work of the order, yet we do not, however, pre tend to be rully iniormtci in citner us nis tory or Its luws. Whatever of attention we irrciv have aiveti to it has been from a social standpoint, looking toward Its moral inlluence over Its members. Few Words About tho fclks. Kow we will tell vou In a very few words what we are ami some of the things we teach. With other secret organizations we. as Elks, have no concern; we hold ourselves In no way responsible for either their 'teachings or their practices, what ever they may be. The secrets of this or der are few and unimportant, being burely sufficient for the Instruments of Its opera tion. The order of Elks is distinctively an American Institution. It Is a child of American parentage, and from Its Infancy to Its present stature has been nurtured in the cradle of American Ideas. Its grand governing body Is and ever has been domiciled In the land of Ameri can soil. When we pay our respects, as members or this order to Its sovereign ruler, thev are unit! to an American citi zen, and we feel with assurance ami se curity that we shall never be called to pay tribute In thut capacity to any foreign potentate. Now, we would not lor a mo ment Insinuate that men of American birth make better Elks than men of other extraction, nor would we intimate that because un institution ot tins Kind is ot American growth, her hopes of prosperity and opportunities for good are more prom ising than would they be had her develop men been In some other country. Hut this we do say; that it Is a mutter of pride and gratlllcation to every Ameri can citizen to be un American by birth or adoption; that he Is a citizen of the great est country on the face of the globe; that the nations of the earth stand enraptured with awe ami admiration at the grandeur of her accomplishments; that the govern ment ot. tills country is tne marvel ot modern civilization, and that her genius has no parallel or prototype In the history of the civilization of the world. Proud of Their Membership. We therefore say that we are proud of our membership in this order, ami well may any man be vain of his connection with an organization of this magnitude, that Is distinctively an Institution of Amerlcun growth and progress, an Insti tution that claims nutlvlty In a bind of liberty, a land where the oppressed and heart-broken, the naked and destitute, the footsore anil weary, the starving nnd wrecked of all creation have found a home and a shelter, have found an asylum and a refuge from all the persecutions to which humun flesh Is heir, and those things of thimselves are living witnesses to prove and Justify us In teaching that the Ameri can people believe ill the universatility of the brotherhood of man. The purposes of this order are few In number, but ample in character. .That which tt lacks in num bers Is counterbalanced by the intensity of Its principles. Those principles are not so complicated but thut a plain minded man can readily comprehend them; and they are so certain, so unmistakable In their design that all conditions of men cun easily grasp and appreciate them. liriefly enumerated, we are confederated for the dispensation of charity and for the inculcation and practice of the principles of Justice, brotherly love and fidelity. These are the articles of our faith, the tenets of our creed and the exponents of our power. Charity is a vital function In the life of our organization; it underlies the whole snpertructure of our fabric. It Is the keystone In the arch of our strength, the cry of the Sentinel In our watchtower; Ihe mission of all our frater nal visitations. Charity Is the most divine sentiment of the human heart, the noblest of human nature; the crowning consum mation of all earthly accomplishments. While to feed the starving, to clothe tho naked and to alleviate the sufferings of wretched humanity nro among the first duties of Elks, yet It Is a sacred Injunction of our teachings, that all our bounties must ever be dispensed without ostenta tion. The names of those who, being overtaken by misfortune, receive assist ance at our hands are among our Inviol able secrets. Charity Has Many Qualities. Chnrltv Is of many qualities and kinds and its blcssioV are manifold; and anion Its many degrees there Is a charity higher than all others, at which we are taught to aim, both within and without our lodges; not that charity nlone of bestowing food and rnlment on the destitute and suffer ing, not thut charity alone which seeks out the homes of want and wretchedness, nor yet that other charity of giving gold und silver to mendicants; but a charity Inlln Itely higher than all others, which tem pers the zeal of our criticism, which stim ulates the spirit of our generosity, and which would ever conceal the faults of our brothers with tho cloak of fraternal sympathy. That charity which was taught bv the apostle to the church at Cor inth when he said "And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my bodv to be burned and have not charity. It proflleth me nothing." After the manner of that teaching may we ever us Elks, have strength to typify that cardinal virtue which should adorn nnd elevate humanity, the name of which we have chosen as the watchword of our noble order. May we encourage one an other In the duties of benevolence; and on our altars let their good works ever be pre sented as the only acceptable sacrifice. From hence, as from a perennial fountain, may there flow the gentle streams of truo charity to gladden and make green many waste places. On the rugged pathway of life may those flowers by us be cultivated which love shall scatter under many bleeding feet. In the name of that charity may we extrlpnte from our hearts the In vidious seeds of envy, and In the name of that charity may every vessel of hatred and revenge be severed from Its mooring In our breasts. In the name of that char ity may we ever draw the vail of oblivion between the frailties of our brethren and the Judgment of the world, , Found an Abiding Place. Charity long sought and Anally found an abiding place In the human heart, when the shepherds of Judea, tending their flocks by night saw that glorious host, and heard their annunciation, that In a man ger. In the city of David, of a woman of Nazareth, had been born a meek and lowly child who should teach the children of man the ways of peace and truth. 'May we not forget to teach that one of the great principles for which we contend na ojr wnicn we are governed wag u- llvered Into the hands of our generation under the seal of blood; that from the time of the original comuact. throughout all forms of government, the struggle between ireedum and oondage, between right and wrong, has ever been one of unequal warfare. That warfare had begun when the He brew captive in the palace of Ihe Chaldean Monarch, from the writing on the' wall, proclaimed the downfall of the Babylon Ian empire; when Kome's providential de liverer crossed the Kubicon and fell a victim to the treachery and Jealousy of the unbidden phantoms of disappointed ambition; when Churles the Great rehab ilitated the Latin empire and in the streets of the Eternal city, with the badge of an imiierial Caeser. was crowned Emperor of all the Romans; when the mighty Crom well made kings and queens to snucicier on their thrones and taught tyrants that the vniee of humanity must be heard; when other tyrants were defiled by the valiant ratners ot our nneriy wno comempiuusiy hurled Into the dark waters of Uoston har Imr Ihe badge of the oppression. That same warfare was still being waged and rteflnal Justice wast istruggltng in tne throes of a death agony, when the gloom nf Waterloo spread over the world, en shrouding the visions of men nnd the great t'orslcan was chained to the rocks of St. Helena by a band of Poltroons ana time servers who, smarting under the lash of his genius, and though thirsting for the blood of Bonaparte, dare not shed it, lest the desperation of humanity rise in Lis nilhl nnd exterminate from the face of Christendom every vestige of royalty. What llrothcrly Love Is. And that samp warfare will still go on until every vestige of festering corruption shall have been purged from the high places and the last unholy minion of ty ranny and oppression shall have been cast out of the councils of men: Hrotherly love Is the cement wnicn noius together the brick and stone of our sociul fabric. The sanction which perpetuutes the security of hearth and home, the fuel that feeds the tires of national enterprise, the motive that Induces men lo submit to government. It is the uncompromising foe or envy, hatred and revenge, and the Implucnble enemy of coveteousness und seltishness. Fidelity Is the pnrent that nas engen dered all our other offspring. She Is the mother who gave birth to charity. Jus tice. Hrolherly Love and all their kindred. Though In all her great family there may bo weak nnd erring children, yet with their many flights umong them there was never yet a traitor. She Is the arbiter lo n-hnni we iilmenl for reconciliation of all our social differences. Without fidelity this world would be n cold ami barren waste of desolation; with no conlldence in men humanity would become u babel of confusion. The melody of men's souls would discord with the harmony of truth and integrity. Fidelity gives a repose to the aspirations or men mat incomparauiy transcends the security of houses and land: and with the prophetic voice of sanctlllcd wisdom promises ns the advent nf that aolden aire, when "The Wolf also and the lamb shall dwell together und a little child shall lead them." The principles upon which tne founda tion of this order are built are as old as the history of creation, they are coeval with the hopes and fears of the human under stitndliig. Long after the tradition of our origin shull have faded from the memory of men and the history of our llrst strug gle shall huve been lost In the midsts of antiquity those principles will live In the humun heart. Even though governments may pass awav: though empires may fall and kings anil queens outlive their use- lulnitis; tnougn republics tne crowning fabric of all civil Institutions may totter on their foundations, if we write these principles over the entrances to our re treats and tnerein teaen tne sentiments 01 those principles, our name will live to the dawn of eternity, and until thut time may we so live ami die that wnen tne end snail pmni' nnd we shall each be summoned to our narrow house, our brothers will write our virtues on the 'tablets of love und the memory and the world will write our vices on the sands of the sea of oblivion, where they will drift away to the mists of ever lasting forgetfulness. RAILROAD NOTES. A correspondent of the New York Tribune, writing of open car windows and the disagreeable drnught from the same, suggests that screens, similar to those used in sleeping cars, be provided for each coach window, and that only trainmen be allowed to place or remove them. A ludy writing to the same paper suggestB urlglnul tactics by the person annoyed: "Simply raise your umbrella or parasol In front of you; so that the wind, cinders, dust and smoke blow from your umbrella on the back of the neck of the person who sits by the window In front of you. A very few minutes sutllce to convince this person that the wind Is blowing harder than he thought, and is very disagree able and uncomfortable, so down goes the window, and also the umbrella, with a quiet smile of gratlllcation and con tent with the result of self-protection." A railway with wooden rails 32 feet long, 8 Inches wide and 6 Inches deep, secured by lS-lnch wooden pins to wooden splicing pieces four feet long, placed under the joints, is being built by the Avon Park Transportation Com pany, from Avon Park, Fin., to Holmes City, on the South Florida Division of the Plant railway system, a distance of 38 miles. The gain In Ontario railway earnings continues from week to week. The re port for the third week In this month shows an Increase of nearly $4,000 over the snme week In 1X94, and nearly $10, 000 over 189.1. The deficit for the year so far, as compared with 1894 is now only a little over 0,000, and bids fair to be entirely wiped out by the end of the year. During tho Inst year Russia built the greatest number of miles of new rail road In Europe 578 miles; England the least 224 miles. The average rate of speed per hour for fast express trains was: England, 01.75 miles; Germany, 01.23 miles; France, 49.8S miles; Hel glum. 45.04 miles: Holland, 44.73 miles; Italy, 42.34; and Austria-Hungary, 41.75 miles. Traffic over the Lehigh Valley rail road Is growing to be enormous. On Thanksgiving day 147 trains passed East and West over the Lehigh Divis ion, says the Wilkes-Barre News Dealer. It was one of the Heaviest tratllc days in tho road's history. There were fit trains of coal and freight that passed East, and 22 passenger trains. Just 1170 cars of coal were hauled East, and 625 of freight, while westward there were carried 347 loaded cars of freight. and 1754 empty coal cars. On a four car wheel basis there was hauled East yesterday more than 35.000 tons of coal, and about half that amount of freight.
