men; wo knew justice and charity and benevolence.
 Mir. Moritz, Esteemed Lecturing Knight of Montgomery Lodge. 596, and Chairman of the Memorial Committee. in whose charge the preparations for yesterdays commemoration of those who had died had been placed. an- nounced that the opening ode would be sung, and when this had been done by the Elks upon the stage and by those in the body of the theatre. Mir. Moritz spoke.
 After few predatory remarks, made in humorous way, he told of the objects of Elkdom. and briefly reviewed the history of the older.
 We are assembled on this day and at this hour" the speaker said. ito give perpetuity to the memory of the deeds and character of our departed breth- ren. To us it is not day of sor- row. nor day to grieve, but day to glorify the memories of our absent brethren, and from a contemplation of their lives draw new inspiration. Me- morial Day is a day of sacred recol- lections. We raise our voices in song of tender memory and speak words oi fond eulogy. We bring messages o1 sublime comfort to the widows and the orphans. We utter words of solace and consolation and recount memories oi fellowship.
 My friends. if Memorial Day alone was all the Elks had to commend them to humanity. the order were worthy o1 existence. But how much good they do by reason of their charity corse- crates them to the love of mankind The patriotism which is engendered b, a reverence of the flag of our country entities them to recognition by the authorities in this land. Justice an6 brotherly love ineratiates them in tht hearts of our. countryuen Their pro lection of womanhood deserves the highest place in all fraternal orgapiza' tions.
 have outlined in brief metaphor and sparse words the cardinal virtues of tn, order. Ferhsps the most enduring and everlasting is that which James Mont gomery so pithily expresses:
 Poor were the chief of gifts to me, Without the chiefest--Charity."

Not only were the Elks pres ent in large numbers but many prom ! nent citizens and ladies attended, the large hall being filled.
 Hon. w. B. Crawford, editor of The Evening News. was orator of the occa- sion and dwelt at length upon the vir- tues of the departed Elks and the debt owed to the dead by the surviving members. His eulogy was splendid and fitting one.

mankind, the services of yesterday. for all that they were planned upon the lines of previous conventions or the same sort, were without doubt more impressive than any had been before.
 The original plans were not con- summated. George w. Jones. who had purposed to deliver the lecture, Tn Memoriam." was compelled at noon yesterday to announce that he would be unable to speak and E. J. Meyer, who made the Tn Memoriam" address last year. spoke in his stead. And MT. Meyer though he had practically no time in which to make himself ready to make one of the most dificult of all speeches, acquitted himself with such admirable effectiveness as to heighten the reputation he has for be- ing an eloquent orator.
 C. F. Moritz. named as chairman of the Committee on Arrangements, pre- sided and made the opening address. MT. Moritz, in his informal remarks, as we'll as in his address and in his official introductions. spoke excellent Iy. His theme. in the main address. was "The Good of the Order" and his lecture was thorough yet entertaining to not only the Elks, but those present who were not members of the order.
 Music . Feature.
 The music afforded was particularly me. With HOHmanS Orchestra to aI- ford the entr'acts. the Committee on Arrangements had provided some Of the most skilled musicians of Mofit- gomery to play and to sing before the guests of the order. So 1t was that a vocal solo by Miss Millspaugh, a quar- tette by Miss Millspaugh. Miss Majors. MT. King and MT. VanPelt, and an excellent violin solo by Miss Wolff, were parts of the program that, aside from the sentiment of the assemblage, made the occasion pleasureable.
 It was after o'clock the hour ap- pointed, when the orchestra played first, and Dr. B. c. Ehrenreich, Rabbi of Temple Beth Or. made the invoca- tion. Rabbi Ehrenreich, in language appropriate to the case of the conven- ton. prayed flor those who have pass ed to the great beyond" He offered thanks for the giving to those who had known them. of the men who un- derstood their duty to their fellow
