hers of the Board.

advisabilty of holding public meetings in
the parks OF the city. was at the Office Of
the park board yesterday morning. He
said he had been told 70 be there at 10
o'clock 70 discuss the subject with the
board. He said he was informed that the
two members of the board who attended
a meeting had transacted their business
and gone Mr.. Newlin expressed indigna-
ton. He wanted permission TO hold the
union meeting of the w c. T. l.. Murphy
League and Prohibitionists at Brookside
Park July 1, but had been refused by Park
superintendent Power. He said he thought
there was much interest among a large
element of people in these reform organi-
cations as there was in golf, tennis or aquat-
ic sports He expressed his belief that
Mr.. Power was an impeachment to the use
OF the parks for such purposes. He ad-
mitted he is cranky Prohibtionist,"
but said even they had some rights.
After Mr.. Newlin left Park Superin-
tendent Power and Commissioner Coffin
discussed the subject and My CONN said
he supposed some arrangement for such
meetings would have to be made. He said
the British authorities permitted the use
of certain parts OF Hyde Park for demon

until this appeared yesterday. The latter
publication could not be produced this

not have the time 10 devote to such an en-
terprise However, the loss Of the senior
book will not be felt. as the school paper
of yesterday was a decided success and
was we'll received, a large number being
sold during the day.
Most of the ground usually covered by
the Annual was covered by this edition of
the Mirror, and athletics were made a
feature" The pictures of all the athletic
teams appeared in the paper and a full &C
count of each was given. Short stories and
poems by the pupils and Jokes and roasts
on the faculty. besides the Illustrations
all of which are fine, make the paper one
of the best ever published in the school

Court Cases.

Frank Stewart, charged with being an ac-
conplice in the murder OF Wilson Haynes
az Coatesville, was yesterday afternoon ac-
quilted Of the charge by the jury in the
Criminal Court The jury was out just
twenty-four hours and for time 1t looked
as If II would disagree. The jurors were
about equally divided on the question OF
guilt. Judge Afford had decided 70 keep
the jury locked up again tonight 70 see if
a verdict could not be secured. but at the
last moment the jurors who had been hold
ing out for conviction gave in and agreed
10 acquittaL The evidence was all circum-
stantial
When Il was announced that the jury had
reached verdict Deputy Conner brought
Stewart from the Jail into the courtroom
Stewards aged father accompanied him and
took a chair beside his son, where he has
sat throughout the entire trial There was
look of anxiety on his face as the jury
nlsd in. but the countenance Of his son did
not bet=ay any emotion. The verdict was
read. and then Judge Afford said TO Stew
art: Frank, want you 10 come up here
before you are discharged" Stewart
stepped up 10 the judges bench and Judge
Afford said: Frank you are young man
now and you may spend the remainder of
your life in the penitentiary or in civil pUr-
suits and become good citizen; il remains
for you 20 decide. Your friends and neigh
bors OF Coatesville have come here and
testified that you have been a harum-
scarum boy. drinking and carousing with
bad companions all night. You have been
in jail seven months on a serious charge
of which you are now acquitted, and your
associates have caused you all this trouble
hope that this will BE- a lesson 10 you and
that you will return home and show the
people Of Coatesville that you and will
be a man and lead different life. 1 think
10 has been demonstrated 10 you the evil
that comes of drinking. and especially in
unlicensed places conducted in open viola
ton OF the law. You are now discharged
and you may go"
Stewart did not seem much affected when
the judge finished and turned to get his
hat Several of his friends shook hands
with MIN and then he shook hands with the
jury. One gray-hsired juror grasped his
hand and with emotion said: MY boy, you
have escaped by the skin OF your teeth
Now be a better boy, return home and take
care CT your parents. The old father
seemed overcome with joy and ferventlS

ORDER OF ELkS.
Grand Exalted Ruler Pickett Explains
the Situation.

Grand Exalted Ruler Pickett says the
Elks are gaining rapidly in membership
THE last lodge instituted" said he, was
at Santa Anna, Cal, but since then have
granted dispense atoms for the institution of
several more Santa Anna Lodge received
the number Of 794. so that. with those add
ed, there are now eight hundred or more
lodges scattered throughout the length and
breadth of the land. Our aggregate mem
bership is now about 10000 This means
more than the mere figures show. The Elks
as an organization, is strictly fraternal II
has nothing in the way of emoluments or
benefits that are promised or fixed. Its
fraternal character insures the highest type
of charity and this is the great triumph
of the order. The small membership is
found in two facts-that the Elks will not
institute lodge in any city having a popu-
lation of less than five thousand, nor will
1t permit two lodges in any one city It's
membership is carefully selected, and since
my incumbency there has been no great eff
fort to increase the membership, but rather
the effort has been TO bring the organiza-
ton to strict fidelity to its principles and
their fulfillment. 1t requires no effort TO
extend H. and wherever extended the same
vigilance follows that keeps its membership
of a high character.

Young People with a Circus

Although different from the average tusi
ness and affairs of men is a circus such
az the Great Wallace Show. which will be
in this city on next Monday June Is. il is
interesting 10 note that the important 20
sitions in that business are now filled bv
young men. 3. E. Wallace himself is in
the prime OF life. while with half a dozen
exceptions the half thousand employees on
his pay roll are young people. all OF them
under forty years OF age, while perhaps half
Of them are under thirty. This is particu-
larly true of the women performers who
are all young and fresh looking. From the
executive STAFF 10 the stars OF the dressing
tents the people of the Wallace show are
most business-like and we'll behaved
In other vacations NAV times young peo-
pie displace older folks because they work
for less salaries. This is not the case with
the Wallace show. OF the 80 performers
billed by Mr.. Wallace a ma jority of them
are young. but they are paid large salaries
The general air OF vigor snap and ginger
about the smooth-running performance OF
the Wallace show is in measure due to
the young blood which Mr.. Wallace has In
fused into the circus business.
