CONTRACT MUST STAND.
Court Holds That Royal Arcanum
Can't Change It's Rate.

New York, Dec. 23.-Justice Gaynor
in the Brooklyn supreme court handed
down a decision today that will prob
ably put an end to the controversies
that have threatened the disorganiza-
ton of the Royal Arcanum for many
months past.
He held that the supreme council of
the Royal Arcanum has no right to in
crease the assessments or change the
rates under which its members were
admitted to the benefits of the order.
Though his decision is vastly i'm
portant and affects hundreds of thou
sands of members of the Royal Ar
canum it is very brief. Justice Cay
nor's decision read:
1.-THE amendments complained of
which increase the assessments are
void for the reason that they change
the contract of the members with the
organization. I need add nothing to
what I have said in the case of Lange
versus the American Legion of Honor

NEW OH BURNING DEVICE.
One VIII Be Given a Test on a Santa
Fe Engine.

one ~ HI he Given a Test on santa
E'e Engine.
Albuquerque, N. NJ, Dec. ga new
oil burning device, known as the Lassoe-
Lovelzin, which has been used with
great success on oil burning steamships,
is to be given q trial in the Atchison,
Topeka & Santa Fe railway service.
Engine No. 1928, one of the new big
freight engines of the Santa F'e has
been equipped with one of the new
burners, and viii pull a train from this
city to Needles, Cal, to demonstrate the
possibilities of the new burner, both for
the information Of the railroad company
and the SCully Steel & Iron company,
Of Chicago, the agents of the firm,
which owns the patents. The differences
in the burner are merely technical, but
the leading virtue of the new device is
that it does away with the fire brick
lining in the firebOx and in this partie-
ular makes a great saving in expense
and trouble, as one Of the chief difficult
ties connected with the use of oil as
fuel in locomotives, with the Santa Fe
has been to find brick that would stand
the immense heat of the f1rebox without
melting down. Another feature is the
saving Of oil, which is claimed for the
new burner. The company asserts that
the burner will do an equal amount of
work with half the fuel used in one of
the old style burners.
Charles T. Lape, who was for several
years superintendent of motive power
Of the Santa Fe at San BernardinO, and
who first introduced the oil as fuel into
the road service Of the Santa F'e, is in
the city and will go out with the train.
F. S. Dupuy of New York, an expert
on oil burners, will also accompany the
train over the road.
No. 1923 is a brand new decapod, and
no test OF speed will be made as the
engine is not worn down to any extent.
The burner will be thoroughly tested,
however.
In case the burner comes up to ex-
pectations,'' said an official of the Santa
Fe, who is in the city, they viii in all

THE FOURTH OF JULY

4 Fourth of July Meeting was held last Wednesday evening for the par- pose that President Jack Mcdonald might name the committees.
 4 general discussion of the coming celebration was held, and numerous features were suggested as aids to the success of that day.
 The proposition that this be made the biggest, bIoomingest celebration ever held in Alaska struck the boys just about right. What seemed to be the most popular ideas gs to events were, First, grand Gremens' tourna- ment with good liberal prizes for the different contests. Second, big prize for ball same, prize that will attract the best players in all this neck of the woods. Third, grand free dance in Che evening, just like we always have, only bigger.
 A meeting will be held at Ohman's Hall tonight, to go on with the good work. These meetings are for every body and are not simply committee meetings as some have supposed. Come out every body and give the committees the benefit of your suggestions,

Taking Another Name.

"Custom has made It almost univer.
sal for all male persons to bear the
names OF their parents" said an at
tache Of the local court the other morn
ing. 1T seems natural that it should
be so. Nevertheless. there is nothing
in the laws of this country prohibiting
q mans taking another name. and no
legal penalty attached to his doing so.
There is always. however. possibility
OF its being attended with incouven-
fence and perhaps loss to himself.
There is a way by which a man
may change his name with the sane
ton of the law. and that is the only
safe way. But the law requires MIN to
assign some good reason for the
change. Men have assigned various
reasons for wishing to change their
names. Sometimes man wishes to
drop his right name because it is OF!
foreign origin and difficult for an Amer
lean tongue to pronuonce. This may
injure him in his business. as there
Is such thing as prejudice even in,
this free and enlightened common
wealth. Or his name may have in
English an absurd or even vulgar
meaning and subject him to unpleas-
ant jokes, or it may associate him with
some notorious criminal or be the
counterpart of some name which his
tory made Infamous. or it may be mis-
spelled and consequently mispro-
nounced on his entry to this country.

and the house of representatives. The
instant the tall form of the vice presi-
dent appeared a swelling cheer burst
from the crowd. Mr.. Fairbanks bowed
repeatedly before taking his chair.
Secretary Hav and other members
OF the cabinet were ushered to their
chairs, and at their heels came Ad-
miral Dewey and Lieut.. Gen. Chaffee.
Billows of cheers greeted Admiral
Dewey. and the hero of Manila bay
showed that he was pleased.
The governocs of states and terri

followed in indiscriminate fashion, and
In short time all was in readiness
Tor the coming of the chief executive.
President Roosevelt advanced from
the door of the capitol, arm in arm
with Chief Justice Fuller. Instantly,
from all parts of the eight acres of
humanity, arose a prolonged, tumultu-
GUS shout. Behind the president and
his white-haired companion came

Bible. When the demonstration ceased,
Chief Justice Fuller, his snowy locks
falling to his shoulders. pronounced
the oath. President Roosevelts voice
was easily audible at some distance
when he repeated the formal declara-
ton prescribed in article II of the
Constitution: II do. solemnly swear
that will faithfully execute the office
of president Of the United States, and
will to the best Of my ability, preserve,
protect and defend the Constitution Of
the United States"
A second later he bowed and
pressed his lips upon the open pages
Of Holy Writ. Again erect, he faced
the people, and for an instant perfect
silence held. A signal had been
flashed from the dome Of the capi-
