PA11ADK TO 10LLEXBACK.
At the AVl!kes-Barre station a large
delegation of Wilkes-Barre Elks were
on hand to meet their Scranton breth
ren. They had Alexander's band along
and Haiier's men immediately consoli
dated with them. Badges were passed
around among the visitors and the
WilkPs-liarre and Scranton Elks, head
ed by the two bands, began the march
to Hoih uhack cemetery. Arrived there
they found a number of seats reserved
lor them in front of the platform on
which the dedicatory exercises were to
take plaep. The platform was erected
just 'iiuxhie of the plot about to be
dedicated.
At Exalted Ruler Dllley organ
ised the lodge and ex-IOxalted Ruler
.f. UMitttfiv Wright from that time
acted fur Mr. Dilley. He said no great
undertaking should begin without
i prayer. He would ask Rev. AV. D."
i'Ul.naui to invoke the Divine Blessing.
i'i'he clrgyman prayed that the spot
irifcht wver sacred in their memory
and that it might inspire them to
greater works of love and mercy. The
monument was then dedicated in ac
cordance with the Elks' ritual In the
name or Charity, Justice, Fidelity and
Brotherly Ixive. Those who recited
the ritualistic services were ex-Exalted
litilei- J. Kidgway AVright, Esteemed
Lecturing Knight W. E. Doran, Es
Mtiire l,co V. long. Esteemed Leading
Knight (. T. Orilfln, Esteemed Loyal
Knight U. B. Brundage. The closing
of this part of the exercises was very
impressive. Esquire Long received
from the exalted ruler pennants con
taining the words In the nume of which
the monument was dedicated and
. planting one of these nt each corner of
the monument, made appropriate proc
lamations. Or. P. F. Gnnster, nf Scrnnton, dis
trict deputy for Eastern Pennsylva
nia, approved of the work and declared
Hie monument forever dedicated to the
biiiial of departed Elks. The Elks'
nuaiielte, consisting of R. D. Williams,
F. R. Smith, J. C. Atkin and .1. B.
Burns, sung and Miss Ethel C. Meyer
unveiled the monument. In doing so
the spoke as follows: "By the Kind
and partial favor of AVilkes-Barre
Lodge. No. 109, It is my great pleasure
to unveil this beautiful emblem of the
Benevolent and Protective Order of
Klks. It ahull ever remain uncovered
to point the day to this final resting
place,"
TIII3 SPEECH-MAKING.
Mr. Wright Introduced Dr. P. V.
GiuiHtcr, of Scranton, who spoke as fol
lows: Kxulled Ruler nnd Tirol nor Elks: Tt Is
no pun of my duty us tlisiric.t deputy gruiul
exuller ruler, to make anv furuiul re
mark on this Impressive und memorable
oceunloii. Yet 1 cuunut leave without pav

whose faithful and iiiiseltlsh devotion to
Ihn cause or lOlklmii entitles him to u fore
most jjIiicm in the circle of true benefac
tor. Like all sincere lovers of mankind

Ills friends with melting words or fading
promises. Ills deeds eloquently tell the
motives that guide and Ihn Impulses that
govern him. This splendid and enduring
Hlfl which we toduy dedicate III honor
of our noble order will forever endear him
to Ills fond brothers in the world of Klk
doiii. In behalf 06 Hcrantou brothers,
who always hold in kind remembruiice
the i-ordiul and generous treatment ex
tended them by their mother lodge, 1 con-
i ululate you upon the consummation
of the great achievement you have today
witnessed and which distinguishes you as
member of the leading lodge of the or

and veneration for him who is lesponsiule
lor line glorious occasion your peerless
exalted ruler, Hrother Bell Dilley.
Wesley E. Woodruff was the next
speaker and lie delivered a very schol
arly oration. His address in part was
as follows:
MR. WOODRFFF'S ORATION.
We are met today to consecrate a plot of
ground for the burial of the dead and to
unveil a monument that will forever
overshadow the place. The inception of
the scheme and the completion of it are
the work as one muy say of one person.
He hal his inspiration in a native gencr.
oslty, in a long cherished purpose a pur.
pose that was encouraged and shared by
one who attended him for long years in
the Journey along life's pathway but who
was a short time ago snatched away from
lite to wait tor her loved ones until the
morning shall break and the shadows shall
IK-e away.
.
There will be placed In relief on one fa-e
of this monument a dial of a clock with
the hands pointing to the hour of eleven,
it symbolizes one of the most beautiful
customs of the order The F.leven O'clock
Toast. The first time I was privileged to
witness it the soVmen appropriateness
touched me, and I have never participated
In that ceremony without being suscepti
ble to the suggestions of it. In the midst
of the laughter, the music, the abandon of
the social session the gavel of the presid
ing officer brings the brothers and tne
guests to their feet. Silence falls on the
company. It approaches the hour of
eleven. We will drink a toast to Our Ab
sent Brothers. Absent? Y'es! Some of
them may be detained by their own cares
or atllictions, or they may linger on ex
cursions of business or pleasure In other
cities. A health to them! Some may be
separated from us by miles of land or
leagues of ocean. Vnder the Southern
Cross mayhap or where the reindeer draws
the sled over the snow amid strange
scenes or surrounded by stranger faces.
Ood speed them! A health to the absent!
Some ul.is may have traveled to that
bourne from which none ever return.
Peace to them.
The clock chimes from the distant tow
er. Features of the absent beum on us
with the old time smile and greeting.
Kit nil liui forms of other happy days
throng the room. The circle of the pres
ent und absent is complete through mem
ory. Voices long silent Join with ours in
the thrill of Auld Lang Syne. The melody
dies away. The glasses are drained. The
cloek has ceased to sound. Another trib
ute bus been paid to the absent. Absent?
V.-s but present In that glowing Interval
the eleven o'clock toust. Kste perpetuo!
May It never lie forgotten in the assemb
ling of the brothers. The eleven o'clock
toasl Is fidelity, ami fidelity is tile rock
upon whieh rest dimity, brotherly love
and Justice.
Uy that bronze dial the heavens are
rolled back-the hand of lime Is stayed.
Kor what is that pile of stone and bronze
but a perpetual eleven o'clock toust -a
perpetual benediction on those who have
Kone from those who remain.
With what better deslra could we leave
this beautilled spot I bun thai the monu
ment, w hich ve ihls iluy unveil may ever
stand as u. sIkii of never failing promise to
the living and us u pei-feet reward lo the
laithful dead: Hull the labors of this lia.
tevnliy In aid id' the suffering may be
blessed Willi a fall iiieasme of success In
drlug I lie tears ol the orphan and 111
oiiehsuting material help to life them out
of poxeiiy and distress; that Hie smile of
Hie Jnlliilte may enlarge the si-ope of our
charily; that our minds may be salistlej
wilh a more perfeei sense of the eternal
Jusliee thai our hearts may throb Willi the
brotherly love ordained to ull mankind
and that tile resiirieellou morn liiuy re
veal the fruit Ion of our fidelity.
LEAD KINDLY LIGHT.
The quurtelte sang Newman's "Leud
Kindly Light" and Frank W. SV lieu ton
wus introduced by Air. Wright as the
next orator. I Miring the course of his
remarks be paid tiie following tribute
to Mr. Dllley.
The generosity of one of our number has
made It possible for us to make sure this
burial pluce to every member of the order
in good stunding who may need lo be bu
ried here or who may express a desire that
this shall be his liual resting place, and
here. In the audience of the people, if Is
our pleasure and our pride to procluim that
lact.
Naturally our feelings prompt us first ct
all to express our admiration for the noble
the unselllsh qualities of heart and mind
which conceived and curried Into effect
this generous gift.
Two things have been especially cau
tioned about by the donor.
First To say nothing about him per
sonally.
Heconu To make my oration short.
If 1 muy not therefore voice my admir
ation for the qualities which 1 have re.
ferred to. If I may not In words exnress
that appreciation of the gift which 1 know
is in my heart, and the hearts of all who
hear me, 1 may at leuht point to that
beautiful monument and ask you to judge
each one for himself, what manner of man
it is wno in t nese days or greed anil desire
for gain, without solicitation from any
one, without one selfish motive or thought,
mis quietly planned ami toiled ami so
wrought that the poor and the friendless
might have the assurance that when the
Dark Ages overtook tjiem their bodies
would haVe place of decent burial, and not
the dissecting table and the knife. Afore
practical charities there may be, but
warmer heart for the fellowmnn who ;s
down there is not, nor ever will be.
GEOUGE S. FERRIS' ORATION.
Suppe's "Poet and Peasant" was
rendered by Alexander's and Bauer's
combined bands and George S. Ferris
was then invited to address the aud
ience. His was one of the most
thoughtful and beautiful efforts of the
day. In closing he said:
This beautiful symbol, in which art and
nature meet, this generous clft of a iren-
erous heart, represents something. It tells
a story, 'inougti it marks the Elks' last
resting place upon this eurth. Its gaze is
not earthward. The days of browsing with
the herd in the lowlands are past. The
rank herbage and tangled thickets, and
crystal waters of the valley lie far below.
Obeying that strange instinct that tells
him that his hour has come, he has mount
ed to some lofty eminence whereon God's
sunlight even shines by day, Its glorv all
undlmmed by night or cloud, and W'here
the bluck pall of night but gives an added
luster to a thousand thousand glittering
sturs, euch star a sun whose radiance
llalits up other worlds, each world, like
this, one of the many mansions In the
Father's house where Justice, friendship
and sweet charity, perhaps, illumine
countless other living souls. And there,
alone upon the mountain height, breathing
at last with labored breath an atmosphere
of which the purity is like to thut of Inter
stellar space there, forgetful of the earth,
and things of earth, but standing face to
face with that primeval splendor of the
firmament which wus before time was,
and shall be when time shall be no more
there in the sublimity of that vast soli
tude, while the heavens bow low, the Elk
lies down to rest.
"O Where Shull Rest be Found"
was, sung by the quartette and at the
close of the selection John McGahren
told the audience In language chaste
and choice where that rest of which the
quartette suns can be found. One of
the thoughts contained In bis address
was this:
In the years lo come, when we shall have
reuched that Hliore from whose bourne no
traveler returns, when we shall have been
gathered to our futhcrs, the sun will pour
his effulgent stream of light upon Ihls
hallowed place and reveal to the passerby
the delicate tribute ami exquisite testi
monial of one who loved his fellow man.
In the springtime when ehiillced flowers
beautify the earth uml shed their fraa
rance and brealhe their perfume over the
tombs of the "Klks' Kest," tliev will, by
I heir perpetually renewed beauty, serve
as u -symbol of our resurrection. They
will, with gentle pathos, soeuk of a holler
and happier life. They will ritrnlsh lessons
of comfort and confhlenen to the wearv
hearted and slid. F.uc h flower will suggest
in Its own peculiar language a, pure uml
sublime sentiment.
Thf closing lines of Ihe rlfmil were
recited by the officers nf the lodge,
"Klks' liesl" was dedicated, and Rev.
W. 1). Johnson pronotmred the bene
diction.' DESCRIPTION OF MONUMENT.
The monument consists of a huge
boulder on which stands a bronze heroic
size elk. The boulder Is of conglomer
ate rock, ll'i Teet long, live rage height
Mi feet, average width 5 feet, und
weighs twenty-two Ions. This Im
mense rock was gotten from Lnurel Ktm,
near the Wllkes-Hurre Wiilercoinpaiiy's
dam, ami It muy well be Imagined that
Us removal was no easy tusk. The
bronze Hint lie on the boulder weighs
SMI pounds) and represents a large und
magnificent species of elk nf heroic size.
The boulder rests on a foundation nine
feet long, six feet wide and six feet
deep, which Is mude or mountain led
Btone ami Portland cement.
The plot, In the centre of which the
monument stands, la called Elks' Rest,
and it Is ill every way suitable for the
resting place and environments of the
tine monument. It Is eighty feet long
and forty feet wide, not being, how
ever, exactly rectangular In shape, and
Is sodded. Either end of the boulder
rests on a small green mound, and on
the northern side of the plot is a bronze
step, 36x42 inches, on which is the fol
lowing inscription: "Elks' Rest, Dedi
cated September, 18S6." On either side
of the step is a rock of several hundred
pounds weight. Each is a fine speci
men of the conglomerate species, and as
they He there, moss-covered, they look
so surprisingly natural that one would
think nature placed them there. There
are also five other rocks of nearly the
same size and sort around the edge of
the plot at equal distances apart, one
occupying each corner.
The lot contains eight burial plots for
eighty tombs. In it any of the local
lodge of Elks who wishes may finally be
laid to rest, and any other unfortunate
hrother who has suffered from the buf
ferings and the burdens of this life and
who has nowhere to lay his h?ad for
the last sleep, may here find that re
pose that life could not grant.
These Elk burial lots are owned by
lodges all over the country, but In only
live or six are the bronze Elks' memor
ials erected and this one of the Wilkes
Barre lodge is the largest and finest of
them all.
At 6.H0 the Scranton Elks were ban
quetted at Reddlngton's dining room
by the members of the Wilkes-Barre
Elks lodge and at 9 p. m. the visitors
returned home on their special train.

MARKETSAND STOCKS.
Wall Street Review.
New York, Sept. 30. Speculation at
the Stock Exchange today was charac
terized by firmness. Higher cables
from London assisted the upward
movement ut the start, especially as
the foreigners were buyers or St. Paul,
Louisville and Nashville and gome of
the low priced Issues. The early rise
was equal to to 2 per cent., sugar,
Atchison, leather preferred, Pullman
Palace, Manhattan and the Grangers
leading. The advance brought out con
siderable long stock. There was some
disposition to make ventures on the
short side because of the firmness of
Sterling exchange and the belief that
the import of gold from Europe has
censed, at least for a time.
The weakness of sugar and tobacco
was not without its influence and in
some quarters it was thought that pow
erful interests were working for a re
action in both of the specialties named,
St. Paul was sold by operators who be
lieve that the weekly returns of the
company will be unfavorable for Rome
time to come. Sugar was the most ac
tive stock on the list. It opened per
cent, higher at Long and short
rtock was promptly supplied, however,
and under these offerings there was a
decline to 110'f, (ii 111. In the late af
ternoon trading the markets felt the
effect of the recent steady liquidations
and prices showed a tendency to sng.
The reaction from the top of the day
was equal to S VA per cent. In the
general list and nearly 2' per cent In
sugar. The market left off steady. Net
changes Bhow gains of ft t per cent.
In some cases and losses of Of per
cent, in others. The total sales were
216,21.1 shares.
