RECEPTION AND DANCE YESTER-
DAY AFTERNOON AND LAST
NIGHT SWELL AFFAIR.
BIG CROWD.ERjOYED PROGRAM
New Quarters Handsomely Furnished
The Order Here Is Prosperous
md Growing.

The loca. aerie of the Fraternal
Order Of Eagles gave a public
opening and reception yesterday
afternoon and last evening in their
new quarters at the corner of Chick
asha avenue and Second street,
both affairs being largely attended.
The afternoon was givin over
entirely to the public and the rooms
were inspected by hundreds OF
people. There was no program
arranged for these hours and the
guests employed the time as best
suited their fancy. The piano,
played by Miss Bernice Womeldorf
and the punch bowl presided over
by Miss Maude Long, Miss Ollie
King and Miss Bertha Davidson
were the only diversions.
The rooms had been decorated
with flags, palms and red, white
and blue arranged in different de-
signs.
The evening crowd was even
larger than that If paccaity. Several
hundred invaitions had been issued
and most Of them were accepted.
The large hall was crowded long
before the time announced for the
commencement Of the program,
which began with an overture by
Prof. Fox's orchestra; a male quar-
tette composed of Messrs. Brooks
Robson, Mobley Means, the next
number was heartily eDcored.
Mr.. McCosh and Miss Remington
followed with violin and piano
duet. after which Mai. Granlee
made a short talk on Eagleism.
The last number on the brief pro-
gram was a selected reading by
Miss Margaret Wyndham; her Sc
lection made an instantaneous hit
and she was forced to respond to
an encore.
After this the room was cleared
for dancing and the programs were
rapidly filed. The fore part of
the evening the floor was almost
too crowded for comfort but every
one seemed to enjoy the entire
evening. The reception committee
exerted themselves to the utmost
to see that on one was overlooked
and that everybody got acquainted.
The afternoon reception commit
tee was Mesdames Rose, Rosen-
quest. Granlee, Feeley. Denton,
Galloway. Elsea and Miss Anderson.
The evening reception committee
was the entire membership of the
Eagles.
One Of the features was a live
eagle, Gagged and tagged with a
card 'Iin d good eagle. ?
The rooms are handsomely fur
nished aud costly arranged. No
thing has been left undone to con-
tribute to the comfort and couven-
ience Of the members.
In addition to the lodge room
there are parlors, reSding room,
smoking room and cloak room. The
order has grown immensely popu-
ular here since its installation and
the membership has increased un-
till now the local erie numbers
over one hundred members.

NO DULL JOURNALS

NEW YORK. May 12.-AIbert Pulitzer's
statement that the metropolitan news

tameness OF the sensational press was
especially shocking led Hart Lyman.
the veteran editor of the New York

4 don't see how any of the news
papers could be called dull Think of
the events, they have chronicled in the
last year-the end Of the Russo-Jap-
anese war, the insurance revelation, the
operations against trusts. the speeches
from the White House. the eruption OF
volcanoes, earthquakes, and the destruc-
ton of an interesting city. Provided a
person is interested in the events of the
day. he could scarcely find any news
paper dull
The assumption that the newspapers
are dull nowadays seems to me hardly
consistent with the fact that ths year
has brought forth this extraorl,. nary
and. believe. unparalleled succ ession
of remarkable occurrences. A great
part of the time the papers have been
crammed full Of highly important news.

NEW YORK. May I2.-Two-cent tele-
phone calls a phone service without

sibility Of eavesdrorpers. and long dis
tance calls at half the present rates.
were some OF the things which the At
lantic Telephone Company promised the
board of estimates 1t would give 20 the
people. provided the board would grant
IL a franchise.
For four hours the battle over the
franchise was waged before the board
with Martin w Littleton for the new
company. and former Comptroller Grout
and John G.. Miulburn for the Bell Com
pany.
The two-cent call rate offered by Mr..
Littleton for the new Atlantic concern
was qualified with the provision that
the city grant his company a franchise
and John G. Mnburn for the Bell Com
pany's. The Bell Company pays the
city nothing.
Give us a franchise Ike that and
we can furnish the people, OF this city
unlimited telephone service for Sl2 a
year; service which the present monop-
oily is charging the people $50 a year
for" said Mr.. Littleton.
Bell Subways Without Plans.
The decision brought out the interest
ing fact that the Empire City Subway
Company. which the Bell Company con-
trolls, has honeycombed the streets Of
the city with new subway lines without
filing detailed plans with the city Off
ciaIs.
No independent telephone company
can gain admission to the city unless
its wires are strung in the subway con-
trOlled by the New York Telephone
Company. Mr.. Littleton sought vainly
to force Mr.. Milburn and former Comp
trOller Grout TO say whether they would
admit his company. provided 1t got a
franchise. They refused TO answer. The
city takes the position that IL Is able
10 force the company 10 admit the wires
OF the new company.
Grout and Littleton Opposed.
Mr.. Grout led off in the argument
He quoted many authorities. among
them Prof Ely and Prof. z. r. A.
Seligman, TO the effect that the tele-
phone is a natural monopoly, and that
two companies only create a public
nuisance and cause useless expense. He
presented statements from the mayors
of fifteen cities declaring against the
policy of having two telephone syst
Among the mayors were Tom L. John

and was still willing TO confer with
the officials of the city.
1T Is ridiculous" said Mr.. Littleton,
that the human body can ride from
the Bronx to the Battery, with all the
heavy damage costs of the subway, for
cents, while II costs 10 cents for the

Well that's something no one can ex-
plain. II is the fascination that is part
and Parcel of the circus, and that Is all
that can be said about it.
The show Will pitch its tents on the
grounds at Fourteenth and II streets
northeast. As far as the cars are un-
loaded, in the Baltimore and Ohio rail-
road yards the vans and wagons Will be
transferred to the exhibition grounds,
and the work of erecting the tents put
in operation. This is one of the most
interesting features incident to the ar
rival OF the big show, ana always fur
nishes the crowd great deal to see
and to marvel at. With the BaTnum &
Bailey circus this IS true TO an unusual
extent. for the reason that the tents are
the largest that have ever been con-
structed. and require the heaviest poles
ever utilized in travelling exhibition.
The center poles, particularly, are as
heavy as any three poles used by orii-
nary circuses, while their length is equal
10 the tallest mast of an ocean-going
sailing ship.
