HISTORY OFLOCAL AERIE OF EAGLES
Remarkable Growth Of Bridge port kerie Now One Of Most
 Prosperous In Country

Founded at Seattle, Wash. Febru ary Is, 1898, the Fraterna1 Order of Eagles has in a few years grown to be one of the largest and strongest fraternal orders in the world. It is a distinctively American order. The order had its origin from a small number of actors, theatrical and bus inessmen, boon companions, who were accustomed to gather at frequent intervals at a hotel in Seattle Among this number were George and Frank Considine who were then establishing their chain of vaudeville theaters which is now known as. the Sullivan and Consfdine circuit
 This little coterie finally formed club and the membership of their organization grew, some left to make their homes in other parts of the country. Then it was suggested that the organization be made 8 perma- nent fraterna1 order, so that the men who first conceived the idea might have the benefit of association with the society wherever they might be The little club of the founders had been known by various names but when it was decided to incorporate the organization under the laws of the state of Washington, the present name of the society, The Fraternal Order of Eagles, was chosen.
 George Considine was the first wor- thy president of Seattle aer1e and the organization soon spread, aeries being formed in other cities in Washington and in points further east. MT. Con sidine was later elected grand worthy president of the order. The order now has a membership of more than 35O,o00.
 Bridgeport aerie was organized June 5, 1903. T. J. Carr claims the dis tinction of having been the first mem Der of the order in Bridgeport HeI joined New York aerie. John A. Shea, proprietor of Srfea's hotel in Main street, was the first Bridgeport man to be initiated into the order in Connecticut He joined New Haven aerie and Col. T. J. Murphy was i'm itiated into New Haven aerie a short time afterward.

the order with an office in Eagles hall in Madison avenue and regular working office hourS He is also sec retary of the general committee Of the field day and the success of many or the arrangements will be due to his untiring energy and care and watch fitness. He held the office Of re- cording secretary of the aerie for six years previous to the consolidation or the offices.
 Prospering in membership, with large fund to work with, the order cast around for permanent home, and finally decided that the building known as Madison Hall would make a suitable place. It was purchased during the presidency of John Il. Tague in 1905. A few years later the mortgage assumed with the purchase of the building was cleared and the document was burned during the presidency of John H. Spittler. In 1906, when John M. Donnelly was president the aerie gave a big earni- val, which proved a great success and was the first big entertainment gwen by the aerie and it was with this car nivaI that the money was raised to pay off the mortgage.
 The presidents of the aerie besides Attorney Shannon have been: John T. Connors, John H. Tague. John M Donneily, John H. Spittler, Patrick H. Brady, George P. Jamieson, w. H. CaIlan, Thomas w. Reddy, and the present incumbent of the office, John J. Heavey.

REVOLT IN KWANG TUNG MAY BE
 SHORT LIVED.

Canton, China, July 22-Trade throughout southern China has been distracted by the proclamation of the independence of the province of Kwang- -Tung. In this city great anx-- iety has been created, stores have been closed and many merchants have teIegraphed shippers not to consigni goods here for the present.
 A great many persons have left thei city in junks and others have gone north on foot Thousands more have flocked into the Portuguese colony Of Macao and into Hong Kong, among the latter being officials who have retired from their posts carrying with them millions of dollars in silver and paper money
 There is a. strong feeling of resent, n1ent through the southern provinces against the policy of provisional Fres-' 1dent Yuan Shi Kai, but 1t is felt iu' most quarters that it will be impossi- b1e to resist him for long, as he com-l mands 9, large trained army, possesses money and has the support of tha great po4yegs. s5 A Lt
 The fact that the merchants ofs Hong Kong do not sympathize withl the independent movement is regarded among the foreign observers as a sign that the revolt will be short lived
 It was not expected here that tho province of Kwang Si would follow the example of Kwang Tung- A false rumor, however, was circulated that the governor of KWang Si had fled to Hong Kong on board a British vessel.
 Governor Chang Hsuh of Kwans. Tung secretly visited Hong Kong on Friday. but has since returned here. Former Governor Wu Hon Min oE Wwang Tung who was a long time to Dr. Sun Yat also haal come back here.

Martin J. Gray of New Haven and Henry L. Norris, the latter then city clerk of New Haven, first undertook the work of interesting Bridgeport men in the order with the view of founding an aerie here. By letters and visits to John A. Shea, T. J. Carr, Col. Murphy, D. J. O'Connor and F. J. Digney they gathered nucleus to secure a charter. It was intended to start the order with a charter list of 100 names but many more were secured before the charter was closed. Besides those already mentioned a number of those prominent in organ izing the aerie were: Attorney Hen ry E. Shannon, pr. D. H. Monahan. Dr. c. A. Ryder, John H. SpittIer and Thomas F. Owens, the latter now deceased.
 Attorney Shannon was the first wor- thy president of the order and he held office for two years doing much to place the local aerie on 8 sound financial basis and to increase the membership.

He refused in stant operation asking that u pc Iayed until he could arrive 'ln thls cftv. When he arrived here at an early hour this morning, the opera tion was performed.

While seated at the supper table, Mrs. Tracy begged to be excused for a few moments. She had but stepped into the hallway when the members of the family heard the crash of her body. It is believed that she was seized with a dizzy spell for only a short while ago she sus- tained fall in a Brooklyn church.

MUCH OIL USED BY
NAVAL VESSELS
BATTLESHlPS NOW CONSUMING
3o,ooo, 900 GALLONS OF FUEL AN
NUALlY.

Washington, March 16.-Nayal Off
cials estimate that at the end OF
the present fiscal year 2O,0OO,OOO gal
ons OF fuel oil will have been con
sumed in naval vessels, or 100000
gallons more than were used last
year, and more than three times
the amount used in 1911.
These figures are considered i'm
portant as indicating that the amount
to be consumed during the fiscal
year 1914 will reach a total of 30,-
100000 gallons, or an increase of
500 per cent in three years. Already
six battleships and twenty destroy
ers are burning oil, and this mum.
ber will be increased by two battle
ships and eight destroyers next
year.
In addition to the many advantages
which naval experts claim for oil
as fuel, it is pointed out that the
United tSates is the only great ma
ton in the world with an almost in
exhaustible supply.

landscapes. fell in love at glance
He was painting a lanscape near Sud
bury, when he was interrupted in his
work by a lady coming between hin
and the sunlight. Her shadow fell
upon his work, for she was wholly
unconscious that she was interrupting
work of a genius. GainsborouSh
looked up, perhaps thinking it was a
COW that was wandering by. 1t hap,
pened to be a very attractive woman,
with when the artist was instantly
smitten. She proved a very helpful
wife, and used to save every scrap OF
work her husband did, although he
would dash off a lovely sketch and
fling II under the table. These cast
offs brought large sum at auction af'
ter the artists death.
