ABOUT THE ElkS.
Some Interesting Facts as to the
Origin and Growth.
NAME OF FOUNDER.

The founder of the Elk lodge may be
said to be Charles Algeron Sidney
Vivian, son of an English clergyman,
who came to this country in 1867. He
was a ballad singer by profession and
soon gathered around him a number OF
men prominent in theatrical and mu-
siCal lines.
At one of the social meetings of this
congenial crowd, Vivian proposed that
they form a permanent club and the
idea met with instant favor. There
were thirteen charter members of this
organization, which afterwards be-
came The Benevolent and Protective
Order of Elks.
Thirteen is usually considered an
unlucky number, but this has not
proven TO be so in the case of the Elks.
1t was in 1867 that Vivian and assO-
ciates formed the order which after
ward became known as the lodge OF
Elks. They selected the rather eupho-
nious name of "The Jolly Corkers, -
and the name remained with the or
ganiZation until the following year. In
the meantime the order grew rapidly
in numbers and IL was decided that a
more appropriate name might be Sc
lected Vivian selected the name
Buffalo" as that was the name of a
soC.Gl organization in England 10
which he had belonged before coming
to this country Another member sug-
gested the name OF camel, but the
three American members OF the organ

scribed with the names of the different
commonwealths.
No business was transacted and the
session was purely in the nature of a
welcoming demonstration. Those who
delivered the greetings were Governor
Van SAINT, Hon. j. w. Olsen, state SUI
perintendent of public instruction;
President Cyrus Northroy, of the Uni
versity of Minnesota. and Superintend-
ent Charles NJ. Jordan, of the public
schools of Minneapolis. The responses
were by Superintendent James A.
Foshay, of Los Angeles; DR.. theodore
B. Moss, of the Pennsylvania State
Normal school; and DR.. Joseph Swain,
who has just resigned the presidency
of Indiana State University to become
the head of Swarthmore college.
The annual address of the president
w. M. Beardshear. of Iowa, is to he
delivered this evening, and will be
followed by an address by President
Nicholas Murray Butler, of Columbia
university.
The national council of education
continued its session this morning D.
Z. Mcclure, of Lansing, Mich, spoke
of the school as a culture center, and
an interesting paper on the social
aspect of education was presented by
Prof. John Dewey, head of the depart
ments of philosophy and education OF
the University of Chicago.

ACTION IN BAD SHAPE.

Joe Barnett, whose return to this
city was mentioned in The Citizen yes

California a fine trotting horse, and
the animal is expected to reach Albu'

ization insisted that name which was
thoroughly American should be
chosen.
Some of the members who met at
Barnum's old museum were struck
with the appearance of a fine elk's
head and at once the idea was suggest
ed that the name ELK" would be very
appropriate one for the order. After
ward, In looking up the history of the
elk, it was found that the description
given to this noble animal was that 1t
was fleet of foot and timorous of do
ing wrong, avoiding all combat except
when fighting for the female or in de
fense of the young, the helpless and
the weak. 1t was tnen decided that
the name "Elks" should be adopted by
the order.

Up to 1874. there were but two lodges
of Elks with a membership of 200: in
1882 there were fourteen lodges with
a membership of 1,S06. The order now
has over 730 lodges, with representa-
tives located in almost every city in
the United States and the total mem
bership will exceed 10000. On the roll
of the membership of the B. p. o. E.
will be found the names of prominent
officials, United States senators and
congressman, merchants, bankers,
journalists. lawyers, doctors and many
of the brightest lights in the world of
art. literature, music and urama.

ADDRESS OF WELCOME.

Minneapolis, Mimi, July S.-With a
display of genuine enthusiasm, such as
is to be evoked only by a worthy cause,
the forty-first annual convention of the
National Educational association was
formally opened this afternoon. The
Exposition auditorium, which in the
past has been the scene of national po-
iitical conventions and other great
gatherings, never held a larger, more
Intelligent or a more representative
audience. Within its four walls were
seated thousands OF men and women
representing all portions of the coun'
try and forming the bone and sinew
of the educational forces of this great
land. Educators whose reputation is
international were TO be counted by
the score. Every state of the union
was represented by its superintendent
of public instruction and at the head
of the list was Hon. William L. Harris
United States commissioner of educa
ton. Seated side by side were teach
ers from Maine and Arizona and chat

BOSKO'S LAST BITE.
The Famous Fakir Tackled a GiIa
Monster and Was Bitten.
REPORTED DYING.

Everybody who attended the street
fair in Albuquerque in 1S99-90 will re-
member Bosko, ''eats 'em alive, eats
EN- alive" the freak who ate snakes
alive and performed other disgusting
tricks with reprlles on the Midway
Plaisance.
1t seems that BosKo has at last over
reached himself and it is more than
likely that the dispatches will soon
chronicle his death in a hospital in
Reno, New, where he now lies uncon-
scious from the U.,e of Gila monster.
From a brief dispatch from Reno it
is learned that Bosko is there AT a
midway carnival and tnat on last
Thursday night ne undertook to han
die Gila monster as he handled rat
tlesnakes and other venomous reptiles.
1t is generally supposed the Gila mon
ster, the most sluggish of all known
reptiles, will not bite but the contrary
has been proved in dozens of cases.
Besides the Gila monster is furnished
with a double row of teeth, interlock-
ing when it closes its jaw. and when
it does bite the only way found to re-
lease the victim is to cut the mon,
ster's head off and then pry the jaws
apart. AS long as the monster is
alive the locked jaws resist every eff
fo,t to open them.
The dispatch says Bosko was hand
ling the hideous reptile, so repulsive
in appearance that even other reptiles
shun it, and was putting it's head in
mis- mouth, biting it, when it became
angered and bit him. What part OF the
Oooy the Gila monster selected for its
bite is not stated, but the result is that
Bosko is slowly dying from poison.
OF all the freaks that have travelled
this country Bosko was certainly the
most puzZling. He selected as revolt
ing act as can be imagined, that OF
eating snakes alive, as his speciality
and wnIle his act disgusted those who
witnessed il, still he drew immense
crowds wherever he appeared. There
was ne deception about his biting the
heads of the snakes from the body and
eating mouthfuls of the reptile flesh
| He has given private exhibitions be
| fore physicians in Los Angeles anC
! elsewhere, wherc any triCkery would
! have been discovered and exposed.
Bosko claims to have learned To eat
| and to like the flesh of live snakes
| from the Moqui Indians. who. during
one of their dances, carry live snakes
| in their mouths. The Gila monster is
la new departure in his program ant
will probably end his strange career.

IS STILL HOT.

Chicago, H., July S.-The freight
handlers strike is no nearer settle
ment this morning than yesterday.
Chairman Job, of the state board of ar
bitration, said he had received no an
swer from the railroads or the men to
his offer of arbitration. At all freight
houses pickets endeavored to persuade
newcomers from taking jobs and
sought to lure men away already at
work. A man familiar with the pres
ent trouble and experienced in strikes,
said today:
'If the teamsters come to the aid of
the freight handlers they will win; il
not, the chances are they will lose. II
is too easy for railroad to bring in
new men,"
This statement is full of meaning in
connection with the statement of Off
cials of the teamsters' union, who said
the freight handlers proceeded to strike
without the sanction of the Chicago
Federation of Labor, and therefore
they will be allowed to fight out theil
own salvation.
This afternoon inquiries of officials
from various railroads elected the in
variable statement that freight of al
kinds is being handled with scarcely
any delay. President Curran, of the
freight handlers, declared he is as
sured of the support of the teamsters
as individuals and it is certain NJ
effort will be spared by the freight
handlers to obtain the support of the
union to which the drivers belong
National Secretary Turley of the team
sters said he knew of no action on the
strike being contemplated by his unior
and said the drivers are performing
their duties as usual save in few in
diyldual cases.

Chicago ILL.,. July S.-Shorts in July
corn were squeezed again today and

were bidders, and by running the mar
ket up to 80 cents little before noon.
they got approximately $4,000 bushels.
1t is estimated in selling this much the

profit of 100000, as most of their line,
estimated at 15,000O00 bushels, was
purchased at between 81 and SO cents.
