of Cant Randall

They Went to River View as Guests
of Capt. Randall.
Thirteen hundred and fifty excursion
lists, consisting of the Washington Lodge,
No. 10, B. p. o. Elks, and their many
friends, greatly enjoyed themselves in
the complimentary excursion to River
View, rendered them by Capt Harry
Randall last evening.
A large delegation from the Baltimore
Lodge, No. z, accompanied by their lady
friends, were in attendance. Upon reach
ing the grounds, few remarks of welcome
were made by Mr. Thomas Wilkinson.
Music was furnished by Prof. Arths orches-
ira, and dancing was INDUCED in until
the departure of the boat. A flash-lght
photograph of the many hundred was
taken on the pavilion. The Elks will
give another excursion to River View on
June II, for the benefit of the charity
fund, and it is expected that on this oc-
casion even larger number will be present

4 Great ANNOYANCE.

The money-order clerks in the Philadel-
phia poStof1ce are not as sweet tempered
as usual, and one Of them thus explains
why During the last few days there have
been nearly hundred normal school girls
in here to buy money orders for 1 cent
each. 1t seems heir teachers put them up
to it so as To educate them in the way the
money order business is transacted by the
United States Government. SO they come
piing in upon us with requests for cent
money orders. OF course, it is just as
much trouble to issue a money order for
a penny as for 500. and SO you can imagine
the annoyance it is to us."-New York
