lodge. After deciding upon the place
of meeting next year and having elect
ed the new officers of the association,
the delegates present sang the Clos
ing ode" with a vim, and the bust
ness session came to an end.
The election of Mr.. E. L. Martin of
Macon to succeed himself as president
of the association was accomplished
in a remarkable demonstration. Mr.
Martin had declined the honor, be-
cause he wanted it bestowed upon
some one else, but the convention would
not have his refusal. Twice, by a
standing vote, they gave him the office
and Mr. Martin accepted it. Mr.. Nor
ris Wessolowski of Albany was elect
ed first vice president, and Mr.. r. L.
Colding of Savannah second vice pres
ident Mr. Randolph Wright of Macon
was elected secretary; NJ. A. Briggs

erAl speeches were made on this line,
treatment which has been accorded the
visitors has never been surpassed.
The social session last night and
this morning were pleasant features
and furnished plenty of fun. One of
the amusing incidents this morning
was had at the expense of Justices
John S. Gambler and William H. Fish,
of the Supreme Court, who are here
on fishing trip at Loeb Laurel. They
dropped into the Elks' parlors this
morning while court was in session and
were instantly grabbed and placed on
trial. The charge against them was
fishing with the wrong kind of bait"
Their host, Judge w. H. Griffin made
plea in their behalf and was himself
fined for contempt of court" The
mock trial created much amusement
and the distinguished visitors ap-
peared to enjoy it as much as any of
the others.
The crowd attended a ball game at
the park this afternoon and another
social session was held tonight, while
the visitors waited for their trains
Among the very pleasant functions
was the elaborate luncheon rendered

Lincoln j. Carter's great play "The

story OF twin sisters, separated in in
fancy and unknown to each other.
One becomes the mother of two chill
dren that are made waits through the
efforts of the sister separating hus-
band and wife. The dual role Of the
adverturess and mother is in the
hands of Miss Lotta Emmons, who
plays the part OF the injured wife and
the adventures in pleasing way,
though at times the audience is at a
loss to understand how the change
takes place. There are bright sparks
of clever comedy that run through the
piece, particularly those of Richard

TENDENCY OF THE TIMES.

The tendency of medical science is toward preventive measures. The best thought of the world is being given to the subject. It is easier and better to prevent than to cure. It has been fully demonstrated that pneumonia, one of the most dangerous diseases that medi- cal men have to contend with, can be prevented by the use of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. Pneumonia always re- sulfs from a cold or from an attack of influenza fgrip), and it has been observed that this remedy counteracts any ten dency of these diseases toward pneu- monia. This has been fully proven in many thousands of cases in which this remedy has been used during the great prevalence of colds and grip in recent years and can be relied upon with inn plicit confidence Pneumonia often re- suits from sliqht cold when no dan- ger is annrehended unti1sit is suddenly discovered that there is fever and ditfi- cu1fv in Ireatfing and pains in the chest. then it is announced-that the pa- tfent hos pneumonia Re on the safe side arid take Chamberlains' Congh Remedy as soon as the cold is con tracted It always cures.

Knowledge of It May Afford n MeaDa of Estimating the Age
 of the Earth.

At the Canadian institute in Toronto recently an Interesting address @as delivered by Prof. A. 5. Macallum on the composition of ocean water.
 The amount of sodium in the ocean, said Prof. Macallum, furnished means of estimating the period that had elapsed since the formation of watery yapor on the earth. The an- nual discharge of sodium into the sea was calculated to be 155,OOo, ,0OO tons, and the quantity of that element in the seas of the earth was estimated by Joli at IA, 151 ,000, GOO, ,0O0, GOO tons, which, divided by the former, would give 97,- 6oo,oo0 years as the age of the sea wa ter.
 The discharge of sodium into the sea had in the past been going on uni formly, says the Toronto Mail and En- pire. By reason of the proportions of the clements, sodium, potassium, cal- cium and magnesium, in the sea con. stantly changing at uniform rate and owing to the facts that in the vertebrates, e. g., the dog, and in tho blood of the lobster, etc., certain fluid was found which contained these elements in the same proportion as when their progenitors had left the sea and taken up their abode on the land could be calculated how long a period had elapsed since the verte- brates had become land animals. That the proportions of these elements in this fluid in these animals had never changed was due, he thought, to the influence of heredity

 Last Night.

One Of the most successful dances, both socially and financially, ever giv- en by the members of the Watertown Athletic club took place last night in Town hall. The crowd commenced to gather about S:45 and by 9:15 the hall was crowded to it's utmost capacity. The grand march commenced prompt ly 9:30 and was led by MT Borthwick of the Grove Athletic club of Thom- aston and Miss Annie Claffey of this place. Next in line were the different officers of the local club and the whole number included nearly 50 couples. Cams popular orchestra from Water bury furnished most excellent music and everyone was well pleased with the prompting of Prof John Cam. Large delegations were present from several surrounding towns. including Thomaston, Woodbury. Watervil1e, Oakville, Bethlehem and Waterbury The dancing continued until the small hours of the morning when the danc- CTS, all feeling very we'll pleased with the cordial reception rendered them, retired to their abodes to sleep the sleep of the weary. The floor committee was T. F. McGowan, Clarence Hannon, James Collins. Joseph Downs, William Claffey and Joseph Hughey.
