HIRAM LODGES FAIR.
Oriental Bazaar Opened Last
Night at Elks Hall.

The much talked of Oriental bazaar
of Hiram Lodge, F. and A. NJ, opened
last night in Elks' Hall. 1t was a beau
tiful scene. eDlicate tinted fabrics of

the glare Of food of light that glowed
from myriads of electric bulbs arranged
in beautiful and artistic designs. The
sheen of silver and satin, the glitter of
cut glass, and polish of woodwork, daz-
zled the eyes of the visitors. Every at
traction Of a big fair were features to
entertain the patrons of Hiram Lodge in
their venture. Prominent masons and
their wives and children were out in
force, and added animation and gayety
to the festive scene. Stage entertain
ments are to be features of the fair
throughout the week. Stately pianos
and splendid suits of furniture are among
the many articles to be disposed of.
Mayor Pagan formally opened the fair
last night. He told the big gathering
that it was iwth genuine pleasure that
he discharged the agreeable function Of
formally opening the beautiful fair. He
said the exceedingly attractive and varied
exhibition was great credit to the or
ganization under whose auspices it was
being held. A compliment was rendered
by the Mayor to the devotion and self
sacrifice which had been necessary to
the contamination Of such fine exhibi-
ton and he added that it formed prac-
tical illustration Of the idea Of mutual
helpfulness which w4D the cardinal prin-
cipal Of the Organization. The Mayor
predicted that the tn would be great
success.

Max Friedman Realized
Last Night That His
Saloon Deserved to
Be So Charac-
terized.
HIS STARTLED CUSTOMERS
Rasing OF the Adjoining
Building Had a Remark
able Effect on His.

"Gee, jumping Jerusalem! what did
you put in that stuff n asked one of sew
eral wild-eyed Hebrews who stood drink
ing at Max Friedman's bar at Hender-
son street, yesterday afternoon, as the
little ramshackle one story frame struc-
ture suddenly slid and Immediately land
ed with thunp three feet below the
sidewalk. 1t went down with similar
structure, No 217.
Then, when the customers realized that
the building had suddenly sunk beneath
the sidewalk, they laid down their
glasses, most Of the centents of which
had been jolted out to the floor, and pre-
cipitately headed for the sunken door,
half of which remained above the side
walk. It opened inwardly. They scram-
bled up to the sidewalk. Not so Isaac
Edelstein, the bartender who served the
drinks. At the first warning-tha Of
clinking bottles of rum and empty glasses
on the shelves behind the bar--he sud-
denly recovered from the first shock of
fright, and spreading out both arms, at
tempted to cover big stretch of the row
Of bottled liquors, braeed himself with
shaky knees as best he could, and ex-
claimed
Holy Moses! Save the piecesl'' Isaac
was like some trueborn sailors If the
ship was to go down he intended to go
with it, if necessary, in an endeayor to
save the cargo.
Only one bottle of liquor of all that
fell was broken and the liquor spilled.
As he surveyed the wreck Of his sa-
loon Max Friedman joyfully exclaimed
"God vas goot to der Hebrews. Shust
to think of it. Der saloon drops almost
out of sight, and yet only. Won bottle of
dose vine yiskeys vas spilled. It vas a
miracle. Isaac be praised!'
The experience of the bartender and
his customers was that of Mr.. Josephs,
who conducted grocery store next door,
No. 217. Several customers in his store
also fed precipitately and climbed to
the sidewalk.
The entire neighborhood was excited.
1t was at first thought that some build
ings had collapsed and that human be-
ings We're buried in the debris.
There was a shallow cellar beneath
the two stores. Workmen have for sew
eral days been tearing down No. 319 to
make room for new building. The sup
port of Nos 315 and 317 depended in a
measure upon the support of No. 319.
That support taken away the other two
buildings slid and dropped to the bottom
of the shallow cellar under both of them,
and there they are today, out of commits
sion.

expenses that she had incurred through
young Mohnken
Miss Margaret Canning, sister of
the plaintiff, said that she had met Mohn-
ken on the street. She had known him
by sight for some time and he walked
home with her Mary was standing on
the stoop and he asked to be introduced
to her He called almost every night
after that. They were very affectionate
and frequently asked her to retire from
the room so that they could be alone.
She usually complied with the request.
Miss Della Dorsey, of No. 419 Grand
street, had been subpoenaed by the de-
fence. and was called by the plaintiff.
She worked in the same wholesale drug
house in New York in which Mary Cam
ming was employed, and frequently went
to and from business with her. The wit
ness told of Mohnken meeting them on
these occasions and OF the affectlon he
displayed for the plaintiff.
This closed the plaintiffs case and
Lawyer Simpson began a brief opening
for the defense. He said that his client
absolutely denied that he had ever prom
ised to marry Miss Canning. In Octo-
Der of last year he said she had written
to the defendant asking him to marry
her. He replied that he could not; that
he was dependent on his parents and
that his future lay in their hands, be
sides he was too young to marry.
The case went to the jury at one
o'clock this afternoon but up to the
hour of going to press no verdict had
been reached.

Mary Canning, Of 121 Bloomfield street,
told Justice Dixon and jury yesterday
afternoon in the Supreme Court, where
she was pressing her suit against nine
teen-year-old Herman Mohnken, of 1872
Park avenue, for $4,000 damages for
breach of promise to marry.
According to the plaintiff and several
of her friends, who were called to testi-
fy, young Mohnken seemed to love her,
despite the fact that she was nearly FIVE
almost nightly, met her mornings on her
way to business in New York. and even
ings when she was returning home. He
caressed her and called her endearing
names in the presence of mutual friends;
objected to other young men calling at
the house, and even demonstrated when
he thought the idol of his affections was
! thinking too much of young ladies with
whom she associated. When her sister
came into the parIor he would often re.
quest her to leave, so that he could be
alone with Mary.
Mary said she thought she was only
| waiting until Herman got more wages
and then she was to be made Mrs. Mohn-
ken.
This continued for about two years,
apparently without intermission, when
something happened and Herman went
away. He wrote her letters even then,
however, and addressed her as Dear
Mary
| Under date of July 8, 1901, the youth
full but ardent swain writes to Dear
Mary to know about drank getting
fresh. He says how, when and where
/ it occurred, and expressed sorrow that
his idol was not having "a nice time"
In 1902 Hermens love appeared to
have grown cold. His epistle was be-
gun Dear Friend Mary" and he tells
her that ''the old gent is sharpening an
axe for her if she comes back "too fat"
| When Herman finally did return Mary
| testified that she asked him to redeem
his promise to marry her. He did not
| refuse but failed to do so. Then she
confded her troubles to Mrs. Kate
| Broughton, a cousin living in New York.
On the 9th of October, 1902, Mrs.
Broughton called in Herman to urge
him to keep his promise to Mary, but
| he told her that he was afraid to marry
because of the opposition of his parents.

told him that there could be no marriage
between Mary and Herman.
Mary also went to see Papa and Mann

Mrs. Mohnken said she would shoot
Herman before she would allow him to
marry her. MI. Mohnken, she said, had
gone around among all her friends, but
could find nothing against her character,
but declared that Herman was too young
to think of making matrimonial ven
ture.
