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 ing my humble tribute or respect to one 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 lie is iinusleiiliitloiis. Ho does not mislead 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 der. We of Scranton rejoice with you, participate in your pardonable pride and outdo you, if possible, in our admiration 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. J. F. M.

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.
