showed that there are 43 camps in
good standing against 40 year ago,
while the membership in good standing
has increased from 1891 q year ago to
1883 today, the largest membership in
the history of the organization, with
the exception of 1892, the banner year.
All bills are paid and there is a bal
ance in the treasury.
Division Commander Cressey in his
address urged everybody to help in
crease the membership in the State to
the 2000 mark. He also recommended
that whenever the grave Of an ex-
Confederate soldier is found that it
shall be decorated as tribute to the
bravery of the man who took up his
fight in behalf of the other side. He
also recommended that in the future
division encampmentS be held at the
same time as the G.. A. r. encampment
and at the same place. He announced
that proper memorial services are to
be held for Past Commander in Chief
Frank p. Merrill of Dorchester, Mass,
and for Past Division Commander
Thomas G. Libby of Vinalhaven.

ship from AL to more than 500. The

George w. Gragg of Quincy. Mass,
past commander of T. w Hyde
Camp OF Bath, who has represented
the Maine division at the national en-

livered an interesting address. Mr.
Gragg is now a special aid on the staff
of Communicated Chief George w.
POllitt of Paterson, \. j. He holds the
distinction of having attended more
national encampments as "a delegate
from the Maine division than any
other man and will probably be re-
elected to this position at the annual
election of officers tomorrow after

 AN ESCAPED LUNATIC.- A tele- phone message was received at the sheriffs office yesterday from Alham- i bra wanting an officer to take charge of crazy man who had lately been infesting that vicinity. He had first appeared at the residence of J. J. Cot trell and made himself obnoxious. MT. Cottrell thought that he was drunk and after ordering him away q couple of times, he knocked him down.
 The man then left and from his subsequent movements it was judged that he was insane. Deputy Adams and Constable Murphy went out and found his trail They followed in a zigzag course toward the southwest and at last found him. He mistook them for robbers after they got him into the wagon and implored by every passerby to come to his assistance. All that could be learned of him was that he was an Austrian, his name was Joe and that he had left the institution the
 night before.

 ''Of course, the society girls of the present day are beautiful. and original and chic, and all that, and they know things about sthe cosmic urge and the higher culture that their mothers never dreamed of, yet somehow they don't keep their admirers in the breathless excitement of never knowing what they will do next, as their mothers did.

TWO STRAY ElKS
 BACK IN THE FOLD
DriscoIi and Cassou Came Back With Strange Tales of Adventures,
 Hotel Rates and Hot Weather

Two more of the wandering Elks re- ] turned to the home corral yesterday | They were Joe Cassou and George Driscoll Besides attending the con | vention at Detroit they have visited l many of the prominent cities of the | eastern half of the country. Mir Driscoll went as far east as Portland, Maine, which has the honor of being his birth place. He then went to Atlantic city just to see what it was | like. It is in this later place that the convention is to be held next year and Atlantic city promises to do great 1 things.
 Cassou and Driscoll hadn't been in Atlantic City long before they dis covered that hotel rates are no: what they used to be when grandfather was boy At the first hotel that took their eye they inquired for room and oath. The proprietor said there was one left

AS MEMS FASHION
 NOTES MIGHT BE

The practice of allowing the hand kerchief to protrude from the breast pocket is dying out. It seems to be tacitly understood that a gentleman carries a handkerchief, whether he displays it or not
 European authorities differ as to whether pocket flaps shall be worn i'm side or outside this season. If a de- cision is reached we shall stop the press and announce it.
 The newer collars have clever elastic bands which are intended to inclose the whiskers on windy days.
 The dietarian waistcoat is a new of fering. It contains a belt which may be set to the required dimension. When you have eaten sufficient to fill out to that dimension, the tension on the belt releases a small alarm bell and you order your coffee.-The Delineator.
