This, 1 say, is the order of good cheer We
believe in hope; we believe in, the future,
we cling with fidelity to that faith which says
man is immortal and which says his destiny
should be grand and noble. That greatest OF
religious teachers, Paul himself, that wonder
full warrior, whose characteristics were SO
great in all spiritual teachings, and whose
life seems to stand out like a mountain crag
in human history, when in the dungeon under
the ground, said BE of good cheer, for the
angel of the Lord has come unto me, and
have been told that shall testify in Jerusa-
lem and in Rome" Out upon the wild sea
in the shipwreck, when fear had overspread
the crew. he said BE of good cheer for
although the ship may be lost" He who has
taught true brotherhood of man, and whose
lessons come down to US from across the cen
turtles. He himself bid His disciples often to
be of good cheer.
When His disciples Him upon the
sea in the tempest, and were frightened, He
said: BE of good cheer, 1t is l." In the
very shadow of the cross, when His hour
had almost come. He said to His few faithful
followers: I'm this world We shall have trib-
ulations, but be of good cheer for l have
overcome the world" In His supreme and
divine triumph of the soul. He felt that He
had risen above all earthly conditions. and
had overcome the tribulations Of the world.
This being of good cheer, this smile and
good cheer to mankind, means more than
the mere passing hospitality of friends. 1t
is the promise of a greater and better life.
This charity of which 1 speak is not mere
pity, but it is that pity which comes In

there been such a general recognition of the
universal brotherhood OF man as there is to-

Let u.s. as individual Elks, raise in our
minds and hearts higher ideals for the fu-
ture, keeping in view fidelity, brotherly love
and justice, which are the chief corner stones
of our order, seeking as best we know how to
inculcate principles, so that the fragrance of
our lives will be felt wherever We are. We
are men who come far short in our duties
and privileges, and whose lives, when com

COUSIN OF DOM PEDRO.
Sensation Caused In New York by
an Attempt to BIackmaiI Him.


NEW YORK, Dec 5.-A plot to b. ack-
mail Senior Don Eugenio de Faria
Teixeira, Brazilian millionaire, which
flee detectives was revealed today by
the preliminary police court proceed
ings in the prosecution of William b.
Turnbull, who claims to be an account
ant, and William Alfred Gould, who
has been known as "a Wall street
Spectator. The name of Arturo Bal
dasano y Topete, Spanish consul gen.
eral, having been mentioned in connec-
ton with the scheme to extort the sum
of $4,000 from Senior Teixei, sub
poena was issued for his attendance
at the examination in the case of
Gould and Turnbull, which has been
set down for Tuesday. The prisoners
were committed to the Tombs prison in
default of bail, and it. is said that at
the police court investigation Turnbull
will become witness for the prosecu-
ton, and by disclosing the full details
of the conspiracy fasten the guilt on
his confederate, Gould, and implicate
the high Spanish government official.
The money was demanded from Senior
Teixeira under the threat to publish
his life's history and the al
legged fact that he had vio-
lently assaulted his wife while
she was in a delicate condition. Inc
detectives had several interviews with
Turnbull during the course of the ne
gotiations to eXtort money, the amount
of which was finally reduced to 81. 250
and are in possession of the letters
written to the Brazilian millionaire.
Senior Don Teixeira, who is a widow
er, arrived here in October, 1896, with
his mother, Nine. Maria LUXE TeiXeira,
from Spain. 1t was then announced
that the Teixeiras intended to invest
their fortune of about $50 ,C0O, 900 in this
country. They spent 100000 in the
erection of mansion at the corner of
Westend avenue and One Hundred and
Fifth street, this city There mother
and son have since lived quietly.
Consul Baldasano comes into the
case because of his friendship for
Gould. He gave to Gould a letter of
recommendation, which Gould present.
ed to Teixeira in applying for the po-
sition of private secretary. When a
detective, posing as the agent of Teix-
EZRA, conducted negotiations with
Turnbull, the latter brought Gould
into the case Then the detective in
quired at the Spanish consulate con-
corning Gould. The consul said that
he considered Gould eminently fitted
to act as secretary to Senior Teixeira.
Senior Teixeira has a reputation as an
artist. He painted the celebrated pic
ture entitled 1.-The First Communion
in America" which took prizes in Par
is, Madrid and Chicago. He is a first
cousin of Dom Pedro once emperor to
Brazil. Senior Teixera is reputed to
own rich gold mines in the republic
