ELKs GOING TO NEW ORLEANS.
savannah Lodge VIII Attend the
Grand Lodge Next June.

The members of Savannah Lodge No.
1888 of the Benevolent and Protective Or
der of Elks are locking forward TO a
trip they propose taking next June to a
meeting of the grand lodge in New Or
leans
All of the Southern lodges will be repre-
scented by large delegations. The order is
very strong in Georgia, where great in
terest is manifested in it, and it is thought
mat there VIII beGmany Elks at the meet
ing from this state. Every lodge in the
state will probably be represented. while
some viii doubtless be there in almost
solid bodies
For some weeks the members of Savan-
nah lodge have been contributing to a
fund that will bear the expenses of the
trip. This sum is constantly growing. and
1t looks as If there will be enough by the
time the hour for departure rolls around
for some twenty members of the lodge to
go. 1t is expected that there will be this
many who will attend.
The lodges of Atlanta. Macon. Augusta,
Columbus and Waycross expect TO send
delegations, and the movement is now on
to get all of the representatives to go to-
gether SO as to form a solid Georgia con-
tingent with banners, decorations and
Whatnot, showing that the train Is an
Elks' train. While the plan for this COM
bination of all the delegates has not been
perfected. it is thought that there will be
no difficulty in working it up. The Macon
lodge has hold of it. The Elks in that
city are strong and enthusiastic, and it is
thought they will be successful in getting
up the train as they wish.
1t is proposed to charter a train for the
entire trip, turning it into general living
apartments for the Elks all the time they
are in New Orleans The plan has thus
far taken no definite shape, but it is be-
ing talked of, andeit is thought it will meet
with the favor of the lodges all over the
state. One advantage claimed for the
special train will consist in its throwing
the members of the order in Georgia into
close association throughout the trip, and
all OF them will thus have an opportunity
to become acquainted and good friends in
fact as well as IN name.

GAMBLING DEN RAIDED.
II. B. Masters Met with a Mishap As
sIsting the Police.

II. B. Masters Met With n Mishap As
sIsting the Police.
A crap game was reported to the police
to be in full tilt near the barracks last
night. Policeman T. C. Murphy and Mr..
T. b. Masters, secretary of the Police
Commission, went to arrest the ''crap-
lists" The negroes engaged in it fled,
except James Simmons and Joseph Smith,
12-year-old lads, who were captured and
locked in the station house.
The unfortunate part of the raid was
the mishap to Secretary Masters, who
came near being dog bitten. 1t seems he
had the misfortune to fall when the grand
rush was made for the door, by running
into a clothes line, or some imperceptible
object, While on the ground, Mr.. Masters
was caught on the throat by large dog
which enlisted itself on the side of the
crap shooters in their efforts to escape. Mr..
Masters quickly arose, however, and got
his man. who was lodged in the lookup.
After registering the prisoners, Police
man Murphy returned to the place where
the arrests were made and arrested the
dog for interfering with an officer in the
discharge of his duty" The animal was
not lodged for hearing in police court,
but taken to the barn yard and executed.
Mr.. Masters does not make a business
going out on such expeditions, having
served many years In the department as
an arresting officer. He will doubtless
feel some reluctance when again called
on to raid a gambling house, though his
injuries are slight.

The members of the Epworth League of
Wesley Monumental Church, were delight
fully entertained last night at the home of
Mrs John f. Gullmartin, No. lis Harris
street, west.
Many of the Leaguers were present and
enjoyed the evening. A game of the senses
was the first means provided for their
amusement. This was engaged in by most
of the young people, and provoked much
merriment. To the most fortunate one in
the contest, Miss Mabel Cannon. a prize
was presented.
A short programme of vocal selections
and recitations was rendered with signal
success, Mrs. Alderman sang The
Charmed Cup" in a manner that won
admiration and applause, and was follow
ed by Miss Beckwith, whose recitation
was all that the audience had anticipated.
Miss Beckwith's talents are appreciated
wherever she is heard, and those who lis
tened to her dialect recitation found gen.
uine enjoyment
The singing by Miss Brockway was an
event She has been heard but once or
twice during her visit to Savannah, but
those who have been fortunate in being
present when she has responded will re-
member the beauty of her voice and the
expression with which she sings. The Ia
dies who played the accompaniment
did so with taste and skill.
Refreshments were served after the pro-
gramne had been concluded. The guests
