AN ELKS' SOCIAL.
Delightful Evening Provided by
the Horned Brethren

y
the Horned Brethren.
The Elks and their friends, both men
and women, made merry last night at
Elks' hall, Third and Wabasha streets.
There were really more people there
than the hall could accommodate, and
every seat was filled when Exalted
Raler w. r. Bagley introduced FL.
p. Hall, the chairman of the evening.
Mi. Hall proceeded to appoint Sheriff
Bean and Elmer Dearth policemen,
on account, as he said of their marked
beauty and lncOmpetency. He thought
them capable OF sleeping on the beats
and beating others who were sleeping.
They were invested with the big tin
star of the order of the Knights of the
Mystic Star and were given stuffed
clubs.
After the st. Anthony Hill orchestra
had opened the ball with music, II. P.
Hall announced a soiree magique by +.
l.. Bancroft. The chairman further re-
marked that he was sorry to inhict the
number on the audience, but it was TOO
late to help it, as all the arrangements
had been made. The gaudy green cur
tains, with a border of sunhowers,
which hung in a proscenium wall
of red behind the chairman. parted and
revealed the stage with the conven-
tional magicIan's table. Mr.. Bancroft's
tricks were remarkably clever and diff
cult. After that the chairman selected
Messrs. Whitney and Barties as associ-
ate judges with him, and fined j. l..
Stack for being the author of Wood
man, Spare That Tree" and The Old
Arm Chair" The st. Anthony
Hill orchestra played again before
Franklyn Lee was called before
the court, and recited "a Melodrama In
Rhyme" which is the most entertain
ing things Mr.. Lee has ever written.
Next, j. Nj. Owens was fined five cents
for advertising himself, and f. Q.
Swasey played piano solo of his own
composition. G. G. Fairchild gave sew
eral amusing limitations, and, as an en-
BiXby, when arrested, was not
fined, but was advised to keep
away from his own theater. A banjo
duet by Messrs. F. II. Tenny and
Youngman and music by the orchestra
preceded the closing remarks of Mr..
Hall, which, being in his usually humor-
Gus vein, were heartily applauded.
After supper had been served there was
