sit is remarkable thing how the
Order Of Elks is fourishing, said S. B.
Harrison, one Of the original members
Of the Order in this city, last night.
when the Wheeling Lodge was organ
feed. eight years ago, took the number
2s, and the Order was a comparatively
small affair, about one-half the men,
bers In the whole country being located
in New York City. Now the baby
Lodge is No. POI, located down in
Texas, and they are sending out char
ters for new Lodges about as fast as
one man can make them out. The Or
der is going TO be one OF the big organ
izations OF the country, and that In q
very few years. New York is no longer
recognized in the Order, but the place
OF Lodge No. has been left blank, and
the New York boys may come In again.
AS things are now lots OF New YORK
men are going over and joining the New
jersey Lodges. Allen o. Meyers is
getting out a Register of the Order,
which will contain the name Of every
Elk in the country.
''No, don't hear thing about city
politics." said Councilman Thomas
Burke, as he wlnked one eye. What
do you know?"
This thing OF locating cemeteries so
close TO cities is all wrong" said Hon.
Robert Simpson. 1T has been an es-
pecially bad thing about Wheeling. Mt.
Wood Is about the only cemetery which
doesn't occupy available building land
in this vicinity. The location OF the City
cemetery on the Peninsula was great
mistake. IL was about the only avail
able ground for an extension OF city TO
the east, and would have made an ex-
ceilent residence quarter which could
have been reached by street railway
lines, bridges, and good streets. Now
II will block the way FOR the next hun
dred years, and cuts US of from the
practical continuation Of the city out
along the pike. But It may be moved In
time,as was the case with the old ceme-
terry up on Main street and the one
where the City Hall now stands"
81 don't see the use Of recording any
more deeds Of trust, II the worlds COM
ing TO an end next September" said
Col. George b. Caldwell. This thing
OF counting up the candle-sticks and
stars in Isaiah to that end is all hum
bug"
1.-THE trees they're putting out
around the City Hall are too small,
said Manager Henry E. Weisgerber, OF
the Wheeling and Elm Grove, as he
eyed the bush set out yesterday up next
the railroad ticket Office. "If they'll
take that thing out I'll haul 'em in a
good tree from the cOuntry-One thCpll
have some leaves on II this summer,
and be OF some account for shade. It
will take three or four years before
these treesamount 10 anything, while
that old 70 start with wouldn't have
cost much more, and would grow Just

"Ouite a number Of Wheeling people

"They run into money a good deal fast
or than the same thing In English,
caused by the duty, and that sort OF
thing, but there is quite call for them.
Several persons have asked for Cos
mopolis" In the original, and we got In
two volume edition OF 'Notre Dame
to-day on an order. The French paper
editions are gotten mp well, handsomely
illustrated, and on good paper, and run
about twenty five TO thirty cents to the
franc I'm our money. Some paper backs
cost as much as two and three dollars
when imported to order"
