TRUSTEES OF THE ELKs.


steps In the New York Case.
At 10 meeting Of the grand trustees Of the
Order Of Elks held in this city yesterday at
the Office OF Grand Exalted Ruler Z. b. Hay
decisive steps were taken in what Is known a.
1.-The New York casdf' This originated with
the action Of the New York lodge in filing suit
against the treasurer of the Brooklyp lodge to
restrain him from paying dues to the Grand
Lodge of the United States. They claimed that
the only Grand Lodge was the one in New York
city, basing their claim upon the fact that the
order was chartered by the Legislature Of the
state Of New York, Che charter being given to
the New York city lodge. They took the posi-
ton that the Grand Lodge could not meet out OF
that state. When the Grand Lodge decided by a
nearly unanimous vote to meet in Cleveland
two years ago, every one of the 200 lodges in
the New Workers, who remained at home They
have stayed at home ever since.
The temporary restraining order was dis
missed by Judge Lawrence Since then the
case has stngnated on the docket without being
reached for hearing. There 10 said to be no
doubt that it will ultimately be dismissed. II
the New York city lodge does not soon show it's
allegiance to the Grand Lodge by returning
steps will be taken for the organization Of a
lodge In that city. Overtures have been made
by prominent 4Othamites to the Grand Lodge
for the establishment of lodge.
The board Of trustees expressed great satis-
faction at the steady progress of the order.
During the present administration its member
ship has increased Is per cent and the list Of its
lodges 20 per cont. The present membership is
about $4,000, enrolled in $50 lodges. As 10
more than one lodge is established in city the
$50 lodges represent Just that number Of cities.
The property owned by the order shown to
have attained valuation Of e490, 900. During
the administration Of @. E. r. Hay there has
been disbursed in charity cas-, 800.
The small lodge OF 400 members in Washing
ton has an item of s2.0s0 for charity in its &C
commits, and this ratio has been kept up through
the lodges.

An Embarrassment OF Riches,


He. was worried. She was worried. Their
sons and daughters all worried every day Of
their lives, although they were rich and pos
sessed good health, which they did not know
how to enjoy. They lived in q handsome home,
on handsome grounds, upon the farthest cor
ner Of which WAS a neat cottage. In the cottage
a servant Of the house lived with his family.
The owner of this whole place often strolled
past the cottage and sometimes stopped to note
the look OF peace and contentment the place
wore.
Sometimes he heard woman's voice singing
about the house. often d man whist1ed q merry
tune within. One day he inquired:
John, how is it that You and your wife are
always SO happy? hear you singing or talking
or laughing as II you enjoyed life"
THAT We do, sir" answered John. 'My wife
is strong and hearty and so am /, and we make
enough to live ON comfortably, as you know
sir, and we're at peace with ourselves and ali
the world. Time enough to fret, say l, when
trouble comes
The owner of the place thought about Johns
eontsntment, and one day he said to his wife:
"John has been a faithful man and hmye
ESQ.,"
The wife took no interest in the natser one
way or the other, so the master bad his wsy and
gave John the money, to the great surprise Of
the man, who seemed hardly able to eompre-
bend his good fortune.
Soon the generous donor noticed that there
was no more singing whistling in Johns cot
tsge. The couple went about with distracted
air, and it was as il some great trouble had
fallen upon them. This time John was asked
why he never sang or whistled any more.
"Ies tho money. sd, - said John in . wAispep,
looking behind him in fearsome manner;
I'VE have ii In the house, for We hsve no faith
in any bank, and whites I sit up with Il, and
whiles my wife do and We daren't lesyo the

measurable, and would We be nAindin' il We gave
the nioaey beck TO yourself, sir, seeia' we've no
use for IT, and IL ID such . csfos"
The master took IL back. and John whistIed
and Msxy sung, - they had done befose, and
simple, did not fan to work Tor good.

DIFFICULTY ENCOUNTERED BY FIREMEN.
Owing to the height Of the building the fire
was fought with no little difficulty, the firemen
deluging with II water from the tops Of the adj
joining buildings. The upper floor was stored
with tons Of malt, hops and rice, and the grain
did much to extend the fire. The next floor
contained much valuable machinery used in
the manufacture Of the beer. and on that floor
was also stored many thousand busheIs Of grain.
The fire burned with remarkable ferceness. and
the brilliant respectable it made attracted sew
eral thousand spectators despite the early hour
In about an hours time, however, the firemen
succeeded in their efforts, preventing the flames
from descending below the third story of the
main building.
EXTENT OF THE DAMAGE.
The damage by wafer was hardly less than
that done by the flames, the entire stock Of
grain used In the manufacture of the beer being
SO damaged by both fire and water as to render
it entirely worthless The fire was confined to
the main building, although at one time 1t ap-
peared as II not only the entire brewery but
also considerable adjoining property would be
destroyed. Had not the firemen been SUCCESS
full In preventing the spread of the flames, the
loss to the Heurich Brewing Co., the owners of
the brewery, would have reached nearly
$1,000, 900, a. its refrigerating plant alone cost
nearly 500, 600.
