ELKs' MEMORIAL SERVICE.

Large Gathering at the Opera House
impressive Services-Animating
Addresses Enchanting Vocal and
instrumental Music.
The anticipation of the memorial ser
vices of Alexandria Lodge, No. 7oS, b.
P. o. Elks, at the Opera House las,
night was eclipsed by its realization, and
il was unanimously admitted by those
present that the experiences OF the even
ing were most interesting and refreshing
and of nature long to be remembered:
The auditorium and gallery were packed
to overlooking, and by the time the
exercises commenced nearly all standing
room had been preempted. Notwith-
standing the proportions ofthe assembling
the best of order was preserved and
nothing occurred TO interrupt the ser
vices. Those who participated were 'a'
their best'' and spoke from the soul.
The members of the lodge, numbering
over hundred, were seated on the stage
amid a bower of palms, the officers Of
the lodge and the speakers of the even
ing occupying the front row with the
exception of the three vacant chairs,
typical of the three departed members
w. L. Hayes, George F. Steiner and
Champe Walker. On each OF these
chairs a memorial wreath, lighted with
three white and two purple incandescen'
lights and tied with purple ribbons, was
placed. and as the name of each depart
ed member was called by the secretary
the lights we're extinguished and tiny
star appeared at the rear of the stage,
the rest of the house being in darkness.
When the third star had appeared a
male quartet sang softly "The Vacant
Chair and large floral emblem, rep
resenting cross and crown and lighted
with white and purple incandescent
bulbs, was slowly lowered into view just
above the three stars. Services proper
subsequently began, and were conducted
according to the programme published
in Saturdays Gazette. :,
All who participated performed well
their parts, and it would be difficult to
determine who was the most entertain
ing. Those who rendered the vocal in
strumental features of the programme
showed proficiency in their respective
parts. while all the speakers were clio,
auent. their addresses having been well
conceived, Astounding in pathos and
originality. The eulogiums of Judge
Barley, Mr. G. c. Carln and Mr.. Morris
Shepard, the latter of Texarkana, were
listened to with close attention. The
latter's was one of the most scholarly
and fluent heard in this city for long
time. Mr. Sheppard succeeded his
father in Congress, and is one of the
Youngest members of the House.
The committee having the exercises
in charge are to be congratulated upon
the success of the affair. The following
composed the committee: Donald Me-
Lean, chairman; Geo. T. Cation, secrt-
tary, and Messrs. Harry Fleischmann,
R. E. Knox, jr., W. A. Arnold, Robert

1t is good news to both sportsmen
and epicures that the great lakes are
Els, IN tha not being "fshed
out" The famil-
Great Lakes. ior remorls.
There aren't nearly so many fish as
there used to be-" seems to be COM
pletely disproved by the reports of
the men who have looked into the
subject scientifically. The United
States fish commissions statistics
showed that the catch of fish in
Lake Michigan and Green bay in
creased from 1885 to 1900, from 49,
51s,14S pounds to 34,499,9 1896 pounds.
According to the statement of
the fish commissioner of an ad-
jacent state, more whitefsh were
caught this year than ever before in
those waters. Whatever improve
ment has taken place is the result of
stocking the lakes with fry of trout
and whitefish every year. About
2oo,oo0,OOO whitefish fry are now
placed annually IN the Detroit river,
and the results of six years of sys-
tematic restocking are becoming ap-
parent. For one thing, the Lake
Michigan fishermen are catching red
fleshed trout which are native in
Lake Superior and are artiicially in
troduced into the other body of wa
ter. One danger to the young trout
of all varieties has been reduced by
the requirement of larger meshes in
the nets used by the lake fishermen.
AT the same time, these fishermen
appreciate the nature of the work
done, for they are charging the COM
mission nothing for the tugs used
when planting the fry. Fishermen,
by the way, are not the only enemies
of the lake fish. The steamboats, are
held accountable in part for the con-
ditions which make artificial stock
ing of the lakes necessary. Wher-
ever they go in large numbers the
bottom of the lake becomes covered
with ashes and cinders, thus destroy.
ing the feeding grounds of the young
whitefish. A map of the areas where
whitefish are caught in profitable
quantities would show white strips
corresponding to the chief routes oi
travel.
