SemI-Centennial Of Organization Is to
Be Observed Throughout
Nation
BIG BANQUET IN NEW YORK
Order Owes Its Existence to Charles
Vivian, Son Of an English
Clergyman
BIG BANQUET IN NEW YORK

New York, Feb. 9.-This is going
to be big month for Elkdom. It'll
marks the semi-centennial of the or
ganization of the Benevolent and
Protective Order of Elks. In this
city, where the order had it's birth
the golden jubilee is to be celebrated
with a great banquet to which many
of the leading men of the nation
have been invitel. In many 9TH
er cities throughout the land there
will be similar observances of the
anniversary. Everywhere the BEST
People on Earth" will gather about
the festal board to recall memories
of the early days of the order, to
praise the memory of the brothers
who have departed, and to recount
the progress and good deeds of the
organization during the half century
OF its existence.
The Benevolent and Protective Or
der of Elks owes its existence to one
Charles VIVIAN the son of an English
clergyman who landed in New York
in the fall of 1867. The new arrival
found his way to the Star Hotel"
very responsible chop house on Lis
ponard street, near Broadway. Rich
ard Steirly was the pianist of this
place and whilst he was engaged in
playing for the singing of some per-
sons who were present, Vivian volun-
teered to sing a song. The proprietor
after hearing Vivian, sent for the own
er of the American theatre, who was
delighted with the superior voice of
the stranger and Immediately en-
gagged him.
Steirly invited Vivian to dinner at
his clearinghouse and introduced
him to w. l.. Bowren another Eng
lishman. This house was at that
time a favorite resort of the theatri-
cal profession. The excise laws of
New York were then very stringent,
in consequence of which Vivian and a
number of congenial associates were
in the habit of assembling in the
boarding house parlors on Sunday
afternoons for the purpose of indulg-
ing in social intercourse. On one of
these occasion Vivian suggested that
the association be given a more per-
manent and tangible form, which
proposal was enthusiastically re-.
ceived.
The organization was formed in the
winter of 1S67-6S and was given the
name of the Jolly Corks," in allu-
sion to trick which Vivian and Bow
ron had learned in England and
which they had practiced to the great
amusement of their associates.
The popularity of the new organiza-
ton soon caused it to overtax the ca
pacity of the clearinghouse parlors.
New Quarters were secured in De-
lancey street. The Jolly Corks"
grew in numbers and financial
strength until steps were taken for
placing the society on a more endur-
ing basis, 1t was deemed necessary
to adopt more dignified title and
the proper selection became a matter
OF careful consideration. Many sug-
gestions were made and finally on
Sunday, Feb. 16, 1868, the name of
Elk was adopted by a vote of eight
to seven.

Every indication points to making

Reports from the manufacturers Of

show a considerable increase in the

of standard quality rubber rings re-
port a 800 per cent greater demand
for their products since last year
which indicates the housekeepers'
growing appreciation of the i'm
portance of good rings, and means an
ultimate reduction in spoilage.
Over 125 business concerns OF
various kinds have published the De-
partment Of Agriculture's instruc-
tions on home canning for free dis
tribution to their customers and en-
ployees. The directions have also
been translated into 10 different
languages by agencies outside the
department and are reaching the
foreign speaking families in nearly
every state in the Union. Com
munity canning kitchens are spring
ing up rapidly to handle the large
quantities of products from the wal
gardens.

GERMAN SPY SCARE

iZe at Ocean Point

Ocean Point, Me, Aug. 3o.-This

German spy incident last night and
this morning and although nothing
alarming finally resulted. the alert
ness and activity of all concerned in
taking steps in the right direction
that of learning the facts-are to be
commended
1t was all occasioned by the arriv-
al about $50 Thursday night Of two
strange gentlemen. who wished ac-
commodations for the night at a pop
ular hostelry. stating that they were
on their way from Bangor to Port
land and had never before visited
the Point. They asked numerous
questions of the young lady clerk
then on duty, questions that may
be harmless enough in actually, but
in war times open to suspicion.
They claimed to be strangers al
the Point, yet they drove their au.
tomobile into a stopping place fol
autoes that a stranger would know
nothing about. They were assigned
a room and one of them shown to it
The other later marched upstairs
and directly to the room. as though

Accident on B. E. A, r, r,

The Public Utilities Commission
Saturday rendered a decision in the
matter Of the accident which &C.
Cured on the premises of the Ban
gor & Aroostook Railroad at Glen
don Station August - last which re-
suited in the death of Henry Cook
son.
The decision is as follows:
Henry Cookson, aged about so
years, employed by ]. F. Spellman &
Sons. contractors, was crushed under
spruce piling while unloading a car
on the Bangor & Aroostook Railroad
at Marstons Trestle, one and one half
miles north of Glendon Station, at
$40 P. NJ, August IL. 1918, and died
the following day.
"A fiat car loaded with about so
spruce logs 35 to 40 feet long had
been brought by freight train No. Sc
at Marstons Trestle. The logs were
supported by five or six stakes on
each side, these being bound together
by wires. The load was listed slight
ly to the east side of the car, and it
was considered necessary to unload
them from that side.
"Spellman & Sons crew, includ:n 8
Mr.. Cookson, cut the stakes on that
side sufficiently. it was supposed, to
cause them to break when the wires
were released. They then went to
the west side and proceeded to cut
the wires. There were five hardwood
stakes on the west side.
while Cookson was holding an
axe against a wire and another work
man striking the axe. the stakes on
that side suddenly broke. letting
about one third of the logs roll off,
The workmen ran. but Mr.. Cookson
stubbed his toe. fell and was caught
by the logs, being injured as stated
above.
Investigation of the accident fails
to disclose any lack Of precaution
which should have been guarded
against by reasonable diligence on
the part Of those engaged in the
loading. transportation and unloading
of logs, or in the operation of the
train"
