After the regular program had

mess for them. The banquet last
night surpassed even the Elks
themselves and was prepared with
special care by the proprietor Of
the Phoenix, and was certainly
thoroughly enjoyed by all who
were SO fortunate as to be at the
table when the cor fct between The
appetite Of the Elks and their
friends and the resources of the
Phoenix restaurant began. The
following menu was discussed to
the qualification of the two hundred
people, present, and there was
enough left to feed half the rest OF
the CITY:
Queen Olives. Mixed Pickles. Celery.
Sliced Tomatoes: Radishes.
Green Onions

After the banl e the impromptu
songs and stories filled up the
time to the wee sma' hours, when
every one present retired satisfied
that Sistersville Lodge of Elks not
only maintained their reputation as
entertainers, but surpassed even
themselves.
The OCCASION was one of the most
successful In the history of the
lodge, and will doubtless result In
many additions to this popular
orgarization.

REMARKABLE LAKE.
A Body of Water With n Roof Of
SOIidifed Salt.

SOIidified Salt.
A lake with a salt roof isn't frozen
salt, and it isn't underground. On the
contrary, this remarkable lake may be
seen at any time during the year, fully
exposed, being even at its best when
the sun is shining directly upon it.
This wonderful body of water is one Of
the safest of the salt lakes and is sit
uated near ObdOrsE, Siberia. The lake
is nine miles wide and seventeen long
and within the memory of man was
not entirely rooted over by the salt de-
post. Originally evaporation played
the most prominent part in coating the
lake over with salt, but at the present
time the salt springs which surround
it are adding fast to the thickness Of
the crust.
In the long ago rapid evaporation Of
the lakes waters left great salt crys-
tails floating on the surface. In course
of time these caked together. Thus the
waters were finally entirely covered.
In 1878 the lake found an underground
outlet into the river Obi, which low
cred its surface about three feet. The
salt crust was so thick, however, that
it retained its old level and now pre-
sents the curious spectacle Of salt
rooted lake. The salt coat increases
six inches in thickness every year. The
many islands with which the lake is
studded are said to act as braces and
to help keep the arched salt crust In

The Sistersvllle Lodge of Elks
gave their annual Thanksgiving
reception last night. 1t was the
most attractive, best attended and
most entertaining of the many en-.
tertainments given by this popular
organization. At the appointed
hour their club rooms on Charles
street were filled to overfowing by
the members and friends of this So
ciety, whose entertainments are ia
nous for their completeness, The
committee had arranged for decora
tlons exceeding any ever seen be-
fore, and the rooms were the occa-
sion of universal expression of ap'
proval and admiration.
When the Exalted Ruler took his
position, one of the most represen-
tative audiences that ever assembled
In the city was present to enjoy
what they knew would be one OF
the finest entertainments they had
ever attended, for they knew that
this organization and especially the
Sistersville Lodge never did any
thing by halves, and that when
they announced to their friends
that the latch string was out some
thing worth seeing and hearing
was on the program.
The committee this year sur
passed any other In the excellence
OF the program. 1t had been care
fully prepared. 1t was well ar
ranged. There was nothing mo-
notonous, nothing stale; nothing
that did not receive from those
present the most hearty applause.
For two hours the persons so for
tunate as to belong to this we'll
known organization and those so
fortunate as to receive invitations
were entertained by one Of the best
musical entertainments ever given
in the city. Almost every number
was encored, and the cheerfulness
of the audience expressed their
appreciation of the good things that
had been provided for them.
The singing Of Messrs. Aggas
and Bell, local favorites, and the
specialties of Messrs Price, Harris,
Shaw and Gushing elected rounds
of applause.
Prof. Helm and his orchestra
never played better, ,and made those
present think of Patsy Gilmore and
his famous orchestra. The follow
ing musical program was gone
through with to the entertainment
aud delight of all the several hun
dred present.

MAKE A DEMAND.

Some weeks ago the employees of
the Montpelier and Barre electic
road made a request that their pay be
increased from fourteen and three
tenths cents to twenty cents an hour
A conference was held but up to
date the request has not been granted
At that time the employees asked as
individuals, but now they have taken
it up as union and have demanded
the increase.
The union is the Amalgamated AS
ISOLATION of Steel Railway Employees
OF American, division No. PAP, and
the matter is in the hands of special
committee consisting Of Conductor W.
d. Murray and Motorman Charles
Paramore and E. M. Guire. An
answer from the Traction company is
demanded on or before December 81.
In addition to an increase of pay
the union asks for committee of ar
demand
bitration consisting of three disinterest
ed persons chosen in the regular way
to whom all grievances may be re-
ferred.
The men claim that with the in
creased cost of living their present
wages are entirely inadequate for the
common necessities of life, and an in.
crease Of wages is an absolute neces-
sity.
