.O'BRIEN CHOSEN
AS RULER OF ELKS
THE BALTIMORE MAN WON
OVER NEEDS OF CLEVELAND, HIS
CONTESTANT.

ElI1s Greatly Exercised over Appar-
ent Extravagance of Their Grand
Officers in the Expenditure of the
Orders Funds - Discrepancies
shown in the Reports of These
Officers - Only One SOutherner
Among New Officers.
Cincinnati, July 19.-While the
eighteenth annual reunion of the Be
nevolent and Protective Order of Elks
has been in progress all this week, the
formal meeting of the Grand Lodge did
not begin until to-day when morning,
afternoon and night sessions were
held.
The first ballot for grand exalted
ruler resulted as follows: w. ].
O'Brien, Jr., of Baltimore, 10; Samuel
II. Needs of Cleveland, S79; majority
of O'Brien, 331.
There was much agitation among the
visiting Elks over the exposures in
the annual report of the retiring ex-
allied ruler about the alleged extrava-
gance in the expenses of certain gem
eral officers and the discrepancies be-
tween the different reports. The sec
rotary reported the expenses of the
grand exalted ruler as $5,7O4. and the
treasurers report of the same was S.
$50. The grand secretary reported his
own expenses for the year as $6,503 and
the treasurer's report of the same was
for $8,614
Grand Treasurer Needs reported his
own expenses as $414 while the sec
retary records the expenses of Needs
as only $97. 1t is explained that these
discrepancies are due to the incom-
plete condition of the records in the
office of Grand Secretary Reynolds.
Judge O'Brien,, the new grand ex-
allied ruler in an interview tonight
stated that there was nothing in the
sensational rumors about extravaganza
on the part of the past grand officers
or members of the committees. He
said that every dollar had been ac-
counted for by the auditing commit
tee.
Mr.. flaming in his report said
Grand Secretary Reynolds had disre-
garded his duties to such an extent
that had it not been for the harm
full consequences to the order he
would have been removed from office.
The following officers were elected at
to-night's session;
Grand Esteemed Royal Knight-C.

GREAT MYTH OF THE RAT.
Plague of Rodents at Braintree
England.
From the London Globe.

From the London GLOBE.
1t is singular to reflect on what
slight evidence mankind has accepted
the existence of the rat. Much has
been heard quite recently of a plague
of rats at Brlintree. Houses, we were
given to understand, were overrun
women were scared into Mysteries, cats
were put to rOut by Whiskered battal-
ions. Il turned round" saith one depo-
nent land there was a great rat, with
hair as long as a cats, trying to get
down a hole with a half-pound lump of
bacon" A curious fact in connection
with the affair was that all the wit
nesses were women, and all women in
a state of nervous apprehension. All
the rats they had seen we're of prodig-
ious size, but personally they had cap
tured none.
To the scientific mind all this is very
unsatisfactory. What, indeed is the
evidence that such a creature as a rat
exists at all-that the terror of Brain
tree is anything but a mouse as it APP
pears to the exaggerated vision of a
hysterical woman? 1t will be granted
that, in practically every case, the
glimpse of the enemy is for the brief
est period of time. Even at Brain
