ELkS IN SESSION.
A Fight That VIII Probably
Disrupt the Order

amesto~n, n. N, June IS
Delegates from the two hundred or
more lodges of the Benevolent Pro
tective Order Of E ks gathered here
this morning in special session in &C.
cordance with the order issued by
Supreme Exalted Ruler Applebee, of
Louisville, and the proceedings of
the day will probably determine
whether or not the order will be
rent in twain. According to the
call issued by the supreme trustees
the grand lodge should assemble to-
morrow at Atlantic City, and should
today's convention by majority
vote decide to continue it's sessions
here the opponents OF the admins.
trstion will leave at once for New
York where special train will be
waiting to take them to the sea
shore. 1t is claimed that a large
maj GRITTY of the lodges have instruct
ed their delegates to uphold the
grand trustees and that Applebee and
Grand Secretary Meyers are sup
ported only by a few Ohio and
Kentucky lodges. Past Grand Ex.
allied Ruler Keely, of Baltimore,
chairman of the committee on
grievances, leeds the fight against
the administration.

SIX TRACKS May LIE IDLE.
Lippincott Decision Places Racing
Matters AS Before.
Gut'cnbum omcinls r'mid Because
he Ne" Sheriff.

There seems every prospect that six
splendid racing properties in New Jcr-
sey will not be used next season. jus
tlcc Lipplncott has declared that the
Parker laws. or ut least that portion OF
them relating to licenses, are unconstltu-
tional and therefore void. This practi-
Cally places matters where they were
before last Winter and brings the race
tracks under the head of disorderly
| houses.
Justice Lippincott carefully refrained
from touching on the question OF racing
and betting. His opinion Is confined TO
the license subject and II says that the
Legislature had no right TO give certain
municipalities privileges. The license
clause. being part of the Parker laws,
necessarily makes the act null and void.
1t Is said that Gutenberg viii take adj
vantage. of the decision 10 reopen and
race under the old plan. The Guttenburg
managers always claimed that they
house" charge. Now. however. IA Re
publican Sheriff Is in control Of Hudson
County, and the Guttenburg folks are a
trine timid.
II Is not probable that the hilton
track will reopen until the matter Is
finally settled. Philip Dwyer IL quoted
ms saying that perhaps a new law may
be passed by the Legislature. and urges
that the new Jockey Club take upon It.
self this task.
Seeing that nearly all of the Republl-
can members OF both Houses are pledged
to vote against race-track measures, the
chances for "A new bill seem exceedingly
slim. 1t Is an old saying that the dark.

edged 1t himself,
Bob's chief ambition was TO be a great
cculptor-to do some great work that
should bring him wealth for the present
and fame for all time, But, by degrees,
he narrowed his ambition down. until at
last he came to look for nothing from
art but the means of living in reasonable
comfort from day to day.
He had done much that was good, but
nothing that was great, until now, when
he was nearly fifty, and his dark hair
was s~pr.nkled with gray, much TO his
own astonishment, he created his Hero
and woke Up to the fact that he had
done something at last that might max
n little Noise in the world. and yield him
some drops of that fame he had hoped
10 MI his cup with when he set out upon
his career.
Bob's particular crony n brother in
art, Alfred Maiden. was a man some five
years older thar himself. The two men
had met rather more than twenty years
before. and had been the closest OF
friends ever since. They rented a small
studio between them on the highest door

street. They had even shared the same
partnen together in a respectable
clearinghouse in M~ecklenburg Square
until Maiden was married and became
the owner of a small residence at Pad
dinston.
1t was past Q o'clock at night, and the
two men sat by the fireside of their little
studio, smoking a last pipe apiece before
going home. Grouped about them In
grotesque confusion were numerous half
finished and finished clay models, busts
Of all manner OF real and ideal men and
women. and all the miscellaneous litter
of a sculptor's work-room; on the walls
hung medallions and bas-reliefs of all
shapes and sizes. crayon sketches and a
number Of pictures In oils and water
colors. But the most conspicuous object
