Elks' Memorial Service.

Another beautiful feature of the order
is its annual memorial service held for
deceased brothers. This occurs on the
first Sunday in December Of each year
on that day every lodge gathers and
pays tribute TO the memories OF their
departed brothers, whose names are
also inscribed on marble tablets in the
lodge rooms. over one hundred mem
bcrs OF Washington have passed away
since its organization.
Still another feature Of the order is
its social sessions, where the best talent
is utilized 10 entertain the brothers,
their mothers. wives, daughters. and
sisters, who are ever foremost in the
mind Of every true Elk.
The color of the order is royal purple

Messrs. Philip Selling and Adolph
Wolfe each donated 81 900 to the Jewish
Women s Council Of this city.
Portland Jews have done more for the
sufferers Of the Russian massacre than
any other municipality in this country,
or perhaps in the world. They contri-
buted $4,000 to the relief fund. This
would make an average of more than
three dollars for every man, woman and
child of the Jewish population. By far
the largest part of the work to raise this
money was done by Mr.. Ben Selling
and Mr. Adolph Wolfe, without whose
efforts no sum approXimating the
amount raised would have been reached.
The large sum raised is a thousand
times more gratifying because of the
large and small contributions made by
non-Jews, sums from 81 to $780, aggre-
eating nearly one-third of the total sum
raised, and which was voluntarily con-
tributed by Christians.

ance, and was continued over Tuesday.
This convention was held under the

New York.


Mrs John Graham Stokes, formerly
Miss Rose Pastor, made her formal bow
to fashionable New York society i'll
Sherry s, where her mother-in-law, Mrs.
Anson Phelps Stokes, gave dance and
cotillion The entertainment was osten-
siby for the Misses Mildred and Helen
Stokes, but the young daughter-in-law,
who once worked in cigar factory, was
of greater interest. She net the cream
of New York society and chatted on
terms Of equality with the be-diamoned
dOwager who makes social history IN
New York. Feted debutantes in
spangles and chiffons bowed before the
former cigar factory girl as she stood
with the StOkeses. She had been only
to family dinners and small teas since
she was married to the young million
aire last summer. But it was necessary
for her to appear at the cotillion which
Mrs. Stokes gives annually. She rode
from social settlement in the East
Side, where she resides. In a white,
simply-made satin gown, and with her
hair parted and worn low on her back,
she stood beside the hostess.
The Christian students in the College
of the City Of New York, about two
hundred odd in number, have set apart
a portion of the corridor, announcing
that Jewish students would not be al
lowed there. One Jewish student dis
puted the action of his fellow students
of another faith to deprive him OF his
rights and privileges to use every part
of the college, and as a result he was
maltreated The matter was promptly
made known to President Finley, but he
refused to interfere.
Philadelphia.
The directors of the Baron de Hirsch
Fund have come to the aid OF the Ma
tional Farm School and have contri-
buted 1880, the sum needed to secure
Andrew Carnegie s contribution of S12,-
500 for the sinking fund of $4,000,
which was being raised by Dr. krauskotf.
The new dormitory is now in process OF
construction and will probably be dedi-
Gated in connection with the graduation
exercises next spring.
