HUGE CARVED ELK

 Local Antlers in Parade.

The ceremony that will attend the unveiling of the huge carved Elk, to be presented to the Bridgeport lodge of Elks byl Wm. l.. Gallagher, and a member of New York lodge, No. |. Manager of Sea Breeze Island, next Wednesday in connection with the gala Elks' Day celebration scheduled for that date, promises to be most inn pressive. Past District Deputy D. w. Armstrong, Past Exalted Ruler, of New York lodge, No. 1, and one of the most prominent Elks in the coun- try will conduct the exercise, with the assistance of the officers and members of the Bridgeportsalodge. MT. Armstrong bears an excellent reputa- tion as a public speaker, and what he will have to say will surely. be heard with great interest. This un- yelling will take place at 10:30 p. m., and at it's conclusion will be immedi- ately followed by the beautiful ritual of the Elks Toast, to their Absent Brothers.
 mammoth in size, and is handsomely hand carved throughout, was obtained by MT. Gallagher during his recent visit to Philadelphia. It was formerly the possession of the Quaker City lodge. and proved an object of great interest at the Elks convention held in that city a few years ago. It stands oyer 13 feet high, and it's horns meas ure nearly six feet, from tip to tip.
 It. is the intention of the local lodge of Elks to have this handsome piece of statuary work remain on exhibi- ton at. Sea Breeze until the end of this season, and will then be taken to the Elks home. It will make splendid, addition to the already su- perb collection of rare antiques, on exhibition there.
 The automobile parade promises to be the biggest of it's kind that has ever taken place in this city. F. F. Bellew, of the Blue Ribbon garage, who is chairman of the committee directing this event, has had splendid success in his efforts, and it is now probable that over 60 cars will par ticipate. In addition, there will be a number of huge auto trucks taking part The line of march will be very long one, and while embracing the principal business districts. will also include the more prominent fac tory districts, enabling the many visiting Elks glimpse of our indus trial activities.

|E. c. BENEDICT STILL
 IA POLITICAL ORPHAN
Says Mobs Rule Conventions and Too Many Lawyers
 Head Public Affairs

l Greenwich, Conn, July 15-CommO-
 dore E.. C.. Benedict declares that he is still a political orphan. He has
 called himself so for a long time and has not been in sympathy with the Democratic party, although a Demo crat during Cleveland'st administra- tion
 "The political situation has not changed since I declared myself an
 orphan" and there is no prospect of a change" he said today.
 Do you, think the election this fall
 will be an exciting one?''
 Yes, I do. From the. present out look what the result will be can hardly be surmised. It seems to be mob rule
 just now. The conventions are far from orderly and do not command the
 respect that they should. but seem to
 be given over to mob rule and violent ! demonstra ations.
 '.The Chicago convention and the
 Baltimore convention do not repre-
 sent the sentiments of the people, but
 mobs rule these gatherings and prize fighting features are suggested by their doings.
 "What we want is business men at the head of public affairs and not law yers, who make too many laws, giving opportunity to foment strife and thus
 create additional business for them SeIves.'' MT. BenedicLs was parIlcularIy eIn" phatic on this point. He did not Say who he thought would be elected, but his expression that he was "sti1l a political orphan showed that he did
 not care under present conditions and did not affiliate with either party. MT. Taft and MT Roosevelt he said he knew personally, also MT. Bryan. The political situation did not ap- peal to him at all Sincerity, patrio- ktism and, loyalty to party were things
 of the past and, mob rule and mob conventions were the order of the day. | The Commodore said at the close of the interview:

CASTELLOT'S ROLL OF. $79 MYSTERIOUSLY DISAPPEARS
Sent Clothes to the Tailors With Money in the Pocket But No
 One Saw It.
Especial to The Farmer)

\Sp6CldI to The Fafm0r)
 Stratford, July 15-John Ennulat was before Judge Peck this morning on a charge of theft made by John Cas- tellot. The case involves the mysteri- ous disappearance of $79 from the pocket of a pair of trousers sent to the tailor shop of the defendant for pressing. Saturday morning Castel- lot a young man of about p who lives with his mother on Stratford avenue, left word to have his suit of clothes sent to Ennulat's tailor shop to be pressed. He instructed his mother to remove the money and papers which were in the pockets. Johns brother Matthew put the clothes in a suit case but neglected to remove anything from the pockets. He left the case contain ing the suit with MT. Ennulat and turned home from his work and ask ed about his clothes. He was inform- ed that the suit had been sent to the tailor but that nothing had been talk en from the pockets. He hastened to EnnuIat's shop and asked for his money. Ennulat had not seen it. He had taken the clothing from the case and had handed it to his tailor Chas. Mesderus. The tailor said he had taken some papers from the pockets of the clothes but had seen no money. The case was continued until next
 
 Mesderus was placed under arrest to insure his appearance at the trial. Ennulat promised to present him at the trial and was himself released on his own recognizance. Herbert l.. Bartram appeared as counsel for En- nulat. John Castellot whose money disappeared is much worried as the $79 had been saved to pay interest and assessments coming due soon It's loss will bring serious complications if it is not restored.
 At 9:45 last night a man in an ap- parently helpless condition was drag ged with unnecessary violence from an East bound trolley car carrying Derby sign, at the corner of Beardsley and Stratford avenues. Residents of They say that the conductor was as- sisted in his work by a man in a so1- dier's uniform who used his boot free ly in the struggle. The spectators aver that the man was dragged head first from the car and dropped in the after the car had proceeded. He was directly in the path of any vehicle which might pass. Residents of the neighborhood picked the man up and deposited him by the roadside. The next west bound car was hailed and the circumstances were explained to an inspector who was on board. The inspector telephoned for the ambulance to meet the car at the railroad sta ton and the man then apparently in a desperate condition was loaded aboard. It is said that at the Bridgeport hos pital the man was found to have sev- eral broken ribs. (This evidently some story but needs more investigation)
