NEW YORK, Nov. 12.-Henry August
Hurlbut, one of New York's leading
dropped dead at the dinner
table last evening at his home. Ill West

disease. AS was his custom, he went to
dinner in company with his son. The
conversation turned on the Thorn case
and nothing out of the ordinary was
noted In Mr.. Hurlbut's manner.
When the meal was half-over young
Hurlbut noted a pause in the conversa-
ton, and, looking up, saw that his faith
er's head had sunk upon his breast. He
had passed away without uttering a
sound and apparently without pain.
Mr.. Hurlbut had been resident of
New York for upward of fifty years, ris-
ing to position of prominence as mer-
chant, manufacturer and financier. He
was born in Hartford, Conn. He was a
delegate to the convention in Philadel-
phia which nominated Grant for the
Presidency, and he accepted the place
of Commissioner of immigration. He
founded the Hurlbut scholarship at Yale

ELKs LOCK HORNS
An Indiana Lodge Expelled From
the Order

HARRISBURG. Pa, Nov. 12.-Grand
Exalted Ruler Meade D. Detwiler this
evening suspended the Marion, Ind,
lodge Of Elks and forwarded the papers
to District Deputy Armstrong of that
state, authorizing him to secure the
charter, paraphernalia and lodge effects.
This action was due to the alleged vio-
lation of the laws of the order in the
method Of initiating Robert Fitzsim-
mons.
Mr.. Detwiler states that after a care
full examination Of the case it clearly ap-
pears that the Marion lodge not only
willfully and flagrantly violated the
long established laws applicable to the
admission Of candidates into the order,
but also the positive instructions of the
district deputy notifying the officers
of the lodge that he proposed initiation
was contrary to law.

BIBLICAL oRIENTALIsM
Madame Mountford's Entertainment
at Simpson Tabernacle

Last evening the first OF a course of
seven entertainments was given in
Simpson tabernacle by Madame Won
Finkelstein Mountford. The series will
treat by illustrated talks of Biblical
Orientalism. The lecture last evening
dealt with Village Life in Palestine"
A large stage was built over the pulpit
platform, with tiers of seats which con-
stituted divans. Hung in front of the
organ was an immense drapery Of red,
green, blue and yellow, and upon that
and the stage were gorgeous rugs. ban
ners embroidered with Arabic char
acters and emblems of the Holy Land
Some of the household goods there were,
and altogether the scene was realistic
reproduction of the interior Of house
in Palestine.
This effect was enhanced by the ap-
pearance of Madame Mountford and
sixteen others, men, women and chill
dren, all garbed in flowing Oriental
robes. They grouped themselves pictur-
esquely about on the divans and were
called upon now and again during the
evening to illustrate the points made by
the speaker.
Commencing with description Of the
country and people, Madame Mount
ford, who is ready and graphic talker.
explained in detail the different styles
of dress and the significance Of the sew
eral styles for men and women in Pales-
tine; of the three distinct classes Of peo-
pie, Bedouin, village and city people,
and announced that she should deal ex-
clusively with those of the second class.
She described the houses outside and
in; the mode Of life and various customs.
The women especially she dealt with
and referred with some vehemence to
their ignorance and the necessity for
educating all women. since they are
the great mothers. the great moulders;
and no vessel is better than its mould.
nor do men rise above the level Of their
women.
Madame Mountford was humorous

and grave by turns; she sang and acted
as well as talked she grouped her people
singly or collectively as object lessons
for what she was saying; she made fire.
Quent allusion to the Bible, and all
through the evening, by giving illustra-
ton of the manners and customs which
have obtained in the Holy Land for
thousands Of years, gave new and SEEM
ingly authentic translations to the texts
of both Old and New Testaments, and
reasonable significance to their mean
ing.
The same subject will be given this
afternoon, and "City Life in Jerusalem"
will be depicted in the same manner

THE ALASKAN OTTER
WASHINGTON, Nov. 12-Capt. C. J..
Hooper of the revenue cutter service,
commanding the Bering sea patrol fleet,
has made q report to the secretary Of
the treasury on the subject of sea otter
banks of Alaska. Capt. Hooper re.
views the history of the otter from the
earliest times and arrives at the conclu-
sion that they not only have been great
ly reduced in numbers during the last
ten years, but that they have actually
changed their habits and no longer are
found as formerly on or near the shore.
He also states that the 1165 natives on
the Aleutian islands are almost wholly
dependent upon the otter for the neces-
stiles of life, and will be left destitute
If the animal Is exterminated, as seems
imminent If no steps are taken for their
preservation. Capt. Hooper is of the
opinion that the principal parts of the
present hunting grounds are wholly
within the territorial waters of the
United States, and therefore the preser-
walton of the otter would not necessitate
the cooperation of any other country.
Suitable regulations, properly en-
forced, Capt. Hooper says, would fur
nish ample protection for the sea otter,
as not enough can be taken outside Of
the prescribed limits to encourage hunt
ing.
ENGLISH OBJECTION
OTTAWA, Ont, Nov. 12.-Hon. R. w.
Scott secretary of state, was asked if
there was any truth in the report from
London that Mr.. Chamberlain. colonial
secretary, had forwarded to Lord Aber-
deem last week important recommenda-
tions on the future trade relations be-
tween Canada and the United States
from the imperial point of view.
''Mr. Chamberlain never sent any sug-
gestions here on the subject; he would
never think Of doing it," said the secre-
tary of state.
ION the status of the sealing question.
the public men of England are well
posted, because of it's national and inter-
colonial Importance, and because on it
hinges the the findings of the tribu-
nal of arbitration. But they are
very little concerned in the subjects of
our immediate trade relations with the
United States, the alien labor law, the
bonding privilege, and so on, except that
they would like to see settlement of
these questions, which, while not of su-
preme Importance, are a source of irrita-
tion between Canada and the United
States, and furnish constant theme for
the belligerent press on both sides.
