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

'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.

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

of perennial geniality with which his
countenance ever snone, ana ior nis unei

associates; tfiid last, though not least,
trusted for his fidelity of purpose that
never wavered In the performance of a
duty, for his equality of soul, that never
forgot the conventional distinctions among
men, and for his sucred conception of the
rights of others that never betrayed a
confidence.
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.

NEW YORK. Nov. 30. The feature of ,
the stock market today was the sharp
demand to cover short contracts In the
Industrials. There was a perfect rush
to cover in" sugar and the stock rose
from 100 to 10214. Chicago gas first
fell to 61 and later rose to 63. Dis
tillers were also in beter request and
advanced VI a 1 . Near the close the
demand from the bears was less urgent
and the Industrials receded Vt a V The
railway list opened weak but when the '
Industrials advanced a rally ensued. In
the last hour, however, weakness set in
again and prices declined K to . There
was some pressure to sell the grangers.
The shipment of $1,750,000 gold had no
effect on the market which closed Ir
regular. Net changes show advances of
al in the Industrials and declines
of Vi a per cent, in the active rail
wayltst. Total sales 141,000 shares.
