LOCAL ELKS OFF FOR
THE BIG CONVENTION
Baltimore the Mecca for all Members of The Order This
Size Delegation from this cPdrt of the Program to be Car
ried Out--Maryiand Hospitality IS the WOrd

The Elks of this city will be repre-
sented at the convention of the order
in Baltimore this week by good
sized delegation. On the Oongression-
al Limited, which leaves Jersey City
at 8. "a O'Clock this afternoon, will go
DIR. Frank Crowther, Peter Floersch
and Thomas J. CLARK. They will be
1oined at Washington, D. O.. by DR..
William E. Ramsay, who is now in
that city. Tomorrow at O'Clock the
following members of the local lodge
will leave for Baltimore: Arthur
Nestor, William Fl. Mccormick,
Joseph E. Stricken and James Voris.
New Brunswick sent a very large
delegation, for the twenty six already
gone to Baltimore, will be followed
by the Exalted Ruler W. H. Everson
and fifteen members.
A plan has been mapped out by the
Baltimore Elks by which on applica-
tion at the registration building the
names and lodging Of each delegate
visiting the city during their conven-
tion this week can be obtained. AS
each delegate enters the registration
building he is furnished with card
on which are blants for his name,
lodge and his local residence. These
cards will then be assorted for future
reference.
Exalted Ruler Charles r. Schirm
sent an invitation to Mayor McLane
to review the parade on Wednesday
from the reviewing stand, which will
be erected OH Howard street, near
Lexington.
It is reported from Atlantic City
that the lodge from that place would
parade in bathing costumes. A mess
age was sent to the lodge by Mr..
Schirm to ascertain whether this re-
port was correct or not, and in reply
he received message that it had not
been decided. Mr.. Joseph Salabes.
secretary of the parade committee,
said,6 however, that this costume
would not be worn.
Admiral" Dot, the midget of
White Plains, N. Y, is member of
the Elks, and is expected to attend
the Baltimore reunion. He will be q
feature of the parade. Admiral"
Dot is only little over three feet
high, and is expected to win the prize
for the shortest Elk.
Mr.. @. Ross Klosterman, chairman
Of the entertainment committee, has
closed contracts for an additional boat
foi the crab feast at Colchester Beach
on Thursday. The steamer will pro-
badly come from Philadelphia.
A big kite was flying Friday night
in Baltimore and attracted much
attention in the centre Of the city.
Attached to this kite is large banner
on which is: "Elks Coming. Show
Them Maj yland Hospitality.
A powerful searchlight was thrown
on the kite at intervals and created
much wonder, as the attachments of
the kite could not be seen and 1t
appeared as though floating in midair.

Water Committee Of Board Of A.
dermen Discussing Location
of ExtentiOn Under River.
PROTECTION.
Present Main ls Across a Meadow and
Much Difficulty was Experienced d-Plac-
Ing the New Main near the New Bridge
Would Protect II From Vessels .at; Low
Tide-May Soon Advertise for Bids.

The Water Committee of the Board
of Aldermen has under consideration
the extension of the new pipe line
under the Raritan river to this side.
Already work has begun in laying
this main from the standpipe at Run
yon to the south shore of the Raritan
and before it is completed 1t is proba-
BILE the Water Committee will have
advertised for the extension further
The question before the committee
is what route to follow. The present
pipe line runs across considerable
meadow land and it was necessary to
obtain permission from the owners to
lay the main. In the middle of this
meadow is brook and the contractors
experienced much trouble in getting
the pipe laid. Then, during low tide,
the river in some parts is shallow and
vessels have often struck the pipe,
doing more or less damage.
The committee now proposes to have
the new pipe line follow the new road
being built to the south approach to
the bridge and have the pipe pass
under the river about twenty-five feet
west of the bridge. This, it is point
ed ont, will not only avoid the marsh
lands, but, the pipe being SO near the
bridge, that structure will protect il
from passing vessels. The matter
will be taken up at the next meeting
of the committee and probably Q
definite route will be fixed.

George SkIencher's Suit Against
Fire Insurance Association has
been Delayed Somewhat.

(Spec1Gt to the EOeHzTg IVe7OS
New Brunswick, July 20:-The suit
in which George Sklencher is trying
to recover $500 insurance on goods
destroyed in the shop for which he is
serving two and half years for firing,
was continued before Judge Schenck
this morning and the prospects are
that the case will go to the jury TO-
night.
The case has been delayed for three
or four days because of the inability
to get the plaintiff out of State prison
SO that he could testify on his own
behalf at the trial. Judge Schenck,
early last week, granted writ of
habeas corpus to bring him to the
court, here hut the mans lawyer,
Judge y. T. Cowenhoven, thought an
order of this sort should be obtained
from Justice Fort which he secured
on Thursday. Sklencher was pro-
duced in court today. He has to pay
the expense to which the State is put
in bringing him from the State prison
to this city.
The defense will get it's testimony
in today and Judge Cowenhoven said
this morning that he expected the
case to be summed up this afternoon.
1t may be that the jury will not be
sent out till tomorrow morning.

ORANGE HAS RECORD.

A glance at the makeup of the
locals is sufficient to convince the fans
that the Marions will present strong
front when they tackle their old
rivals. Two pitchers, Lindeman and
Phillips, will be on hand for the
home team and it is likely that the
Hoboken twirler will be selected to
pitch the game, in which case Nc
Phillips will be used in the outfield
because of his good hitting.
The rooters all know Lindeman TO
be clever pitcher and they are con-
fident that he can hold the Orange
players safe.
Hoffner has been ill for several days
and on that account Peter Lamar has
been secured to play third base. In
order to give place to one of the pitch
ers Tommy" Lyons will not be in
Tuesdays game but. will be on hand
in case of emergencies. The locals
will thus have two complete batteries
in the field, McPhillips and Connolly
and Lindeman and Lamar.
For Orange, Deegan and O'Neil will
probably be the battery Deegan is
the mute twirler who was once with
the New York National League team.
He has speed to burn and has good
control of the ball. The Marions will
have a hard proposition in Deegan
and it will take some good hitting to
win the game. Most of the names in
the Orange lineup are familiar to the
fans and they are all clever players.

This is not really crying for joy,

sweet sorrow" akin to ecs tasy that
came to Romeo and Juliet.
We suppose there csn be little
doubt that all the coal and coal oil
on earth will be exhausted in 200
years at the present rate of per
capita consumption. Natural gas
will go much sooner than that.
Wood will not do for dependency
heoanse of its ill adaptation to
many purposes for which other
fuel products are employed and for
the further reason that the destruc-
ton of the forests would produce
unendurable calamities. But all
that does not necessarily mean that
a coalless age and the absence Of
natural gas and kerosene will be
destitute of heating facilities; that
there will be no heat for domestic
uses, for manufacturing and for
transportation.
Nature has made NO such blum
der as that. Nothing il the story
of this earth furnishes ground for
such an indictment of its creator.
The means of developing heat
would be ample ii all existing fuels
were swept on the globe. The
winds, waves and tides produce
force enough to warm q thousand
worlds if their motion were control
led as to taz its heat-developing
capacity. And there is exhaustless
heat in the sun. Invention is not
dead. Neither abstract nor phys
ical science is going on the retired
list. What has been accomplished
even in the last few decades ought
to banish:any doubt of the capacity
of man to overcome such an OBJ
staele to progress as the exhaustion
of fuel. There is in that record no
encouragement for the Sweet sor-

draw on other sources, while the
rest of mankind can face the future
