WASHINGTON, Aug. 1.-THE

ure to the record breaking drinking,

THE ELKS, ST. ROSE OF LIMA
AND Y. w. C. A. UNDE.
FEATARIE

Although carried to the point
where the utmost activity was neces-
sary to succeed in this great enter
prise, the above three contestants
we're simply invincible. The CAM
paign made by the Elks for the va
rious labels was so far in excess OF
the accomplishments of all their
rivals that there is little room for
comparison. Far over a million OF
their last weeks work was cast by
small wagon-load of labels turned
in. The vote cast by the losers is
most creditable indeed, this especial
ly in the case of the Knights Of Co.
lumbus, St. AIMS School and Thir-
tenth Avenue School. Under or
binary circumstances such totals
would easily win for them, but when
the curtain was pulled aside upon
the great work accomplished by the
winners it held in relief measure
of success not usually attainable.
COMMITTEE SERIOUS BUT
MOST FAIR IN DECISIONS
The members of the committee
we're serious and determined to
save TO the contestants who hon.
ored them with this important task
every little vote that was justly
theirs, but always ready and willing
to concede to the adversary his just
dues, no more, no less. The sitting
was at all times pleasing and genial,
for the gentlemen appointed were
possessed of the true American spirit
of the sportsman, broad, intelligent
and fair minded, and who could
take defeat with the smile Of grace
and poise.
A MEMORABLE CONTEST.
The Contest will remain memoir
able as one between alert end hon.
orable competitors, and as the
greatest cash and collecting agency
ever inaugurated in the city Of New
ark. 1t has been clean and inter-
esting Contest throughout. Newark
has the spirit Of fair play. The past
three months has been rich with
pleasure and profit to the writer, the
Contest workers and merchants. We
congratulate the defeated, for they
fought a good fight, and though by
the fortunes of war they missed the
prize theirs is defeat which car
ries with it no sting nor bitterness.
To one and all we say, swell DONE"

PRAYER OFFERED FOR RAIN
ANSWERED IMMEDIATELY

CHICAGO, ILL.,, Aug. 11.-Prayers
for rain In the parched regions of the
West were offered yesterday in sew
eral Chicago churches. During the
services the tattoo of showers on the
roofs testified to the bounty Of ma
ture in Northern Illinois.
Many of the ministers discussed ex
periences of drouths of other years
to show the efficacy of prayer, some
of them giving authentic instances
when prayers for rain were answered
within a few hours.

Ourselves

The writer knows a man-a
married man with family-who
never had his picture taken and
who declares he never shall.
There is not a bit OF vanity
about this man; he is very modest
and retiring, but he is a VERY
FOOLISH MAN. Suppose he
were to be taken away? His
family has not so much as tin
type of him. Would his little
children remember him? Scarce
ly.
This little preachment is not
intended to brighten. 1t is
simply a warning, or, perhaps we
had better say a SUGGESTION.
A good picture of loved one, as
a heritage, is worth more than
gold. If you are like the modest
man referred to above and have
never had your picture taken,
lose no time in getting TO a good
photographer and have a sitting.
YOU OWE 1T TO YOUR
FAMILY.
Please do not construe this as
a Photographic advertisement,
because we do not take photo
graphs. There are, however, n
great many fine photographers in
Newark.

REFUSING GREAT WEALTH

AURORA, ILL.,, Aug. 1.-Wilfred
Fabien Kallsten, porter in saloon
at Geneva, who for twenty-five years
has been the butt of village Jokers
because he once said that his father
was immensely wealthy, told the
truth. it was learned yesterday after
he died at the county aims house. In
his clothing were found papers show
ing him to be the son of Carl Abra-
ham Kallsten, cutlery manufacturer,
at Esklistuna, Sweden.
Young Kallsten differed with his
family and recently refused to re-
turn to Sweden to claim his share of
an estate of several millions.

Last Wednesday, Wnen the CLOCK
struck the hour of six, the battle OF
books was over, the last vote was
cast and all that remained for the
faithful, Jealous workers was to
await the verdict which would spell
defeat or victory. Thursday and Fri
day the ballot boxes were collected
one by one, their work finished and
their secrets hidden behind lock and
key, ready for the last disclosure.
Many of the merchants had an in
teresting story to relate-how the
voting waxed fast and furious up to
the very last moment, and how all
records of sales in the past business
experience we're smashed into atoms.
This was especially evident in the
vicinity of St. AIMS School and st.
Rose of Lima. II goes without say
ing that there was an appalling vote
cast at Hahne & Co.'S, the exact fig
urs for the last three days being H.
533,559. These contest stores were
a veritable arena Of the gladiators
of a good and noble cause who
smote stout and lusty blows while
the cash registers played a merry
tune to the happy tradesmen's ear.
THOUSANDS INTERESTED IN
THE OUTCOME.
The contest was the one topic on
every lip, the one thought in every
mind among the forces contending.
Conjecture, doubt and hope flew
thick and fast during the period Of
uncertainty which elapsed before the
results Of the faithful committees
work was known, and the suspense
seemed almost intolerable. An
avalanche of votes was expected in
the windup, but the stupendous out
pour which came from every source
was almost appalling. Each bearer
of precious bundle wore a smile
of confidence. Each was sure that
the last sprint made would turn the
balance sheet in his favor. This
optimism was sometimes shaken,
though, when they caught a glimpse
Of what had preceded them and were
made to realize only too fully that
their rivals had not been caught
mapping.
A WIDESPREAD CANVASS MADE
THE LAST WEEK.
In great numbers people were
importuning their friends for sup
port during the concluding hours,
and thousands gave ready response
to this urgent appeal. This con-
tinued up to the very last moment
when seventy odd ballot boxes went
out OF commission and the commit
tee assembled to delve into their
hidden secrets so as to be able to
send forth the glad tidings to
anxious throngs awaiting same.
The splendid vote reported by all
merchants who we're aggressive and
enterprising in their use Of the plan
fully demonstrated the great value
1t has been to them in inducing new
trade their way, and every citizen
OF Newark should applaud the enter
prise and public spirit manifested
through subscribing to the magnifi-
cent books which will soon be in
the hands of the victors. These
books should be monument to the
memory and enterprise of every
merchant who contributed among
the members and friends OF the sue
cessful contestants, and no doubt
they will.
