VOLUME XL1 . WO, 78
ELKS OF TITUSVILLE
TURNED ENTERTAINERS
AND    PILLED    THE    ROLE    WITH
COMPLETE SATISFACTION.
COVERS    WERE    LAID    POR    150.
Elaborate Menu, Delightful Music and
Interesting     After     Dinner     Addresses—Detailed Account.
Pennsylvania is hospitable; Titusville has received a thorough Inculcation of the Keystone spirit, and the
Titusville lodge of Elks has absorbed
in the superlative degree the charm of
manner and the mastery of detail
which combine in perfect entertain,
ers. Their supreme effort culminated
Wednesday night in one of the happiest social events of the season in
this city. Nothing for the perfection
of their role as hosts was omitted.
This was the test. Meadviile set the
pace nearly a year ago; and Meadviile
has been equalled.
Ten days ago committees were perfected and arrangements completed for
a game supper, at which the members
of Meadviile lodge should be the chief
guests of honor. The hunt proceeded
for .a week and the population of small
game in this -part of the county was
seriously depleted. Forty grouse and
nearly 200 rabbits found their way into
tho Elks' larder. Under the efficient
management of Mrs. L. C. Relncke, assisted by a committee of members,
the preparations took form rapidly. All
of the features of entertainment were
perfectly successful. It was a masterpiece of intelligent effort.
All of yesterday a corps of decorators, under the direction of Thomas
Murdoch, beautified the rooms until no
further Improvement seemed possible.
Tbe national colors, carried ont with
flag bunting, flags, Chinese umbrellas
and lanterns, produced a handsome
effect. Potted plants, evergreens and
flowers were conspicuous parts of the
decoration and everywhere was evident a careful preparation for tbe reception of the guests.
The Meadviile lodge arrived by special train at 7 o'clock. A committee ot
fifty Titusville Elks, beaded by Coleman's band and wearing'hunting coats,
met the train at the P. R. r. depot and
escorted .the hundred or more visitors
to the club rooms, where they registered. Many visitors were also present
from Saegertown, Cambridge Springs,
•Franklin and Oil City. For nearly two
hours the time was passed in renewing old acquaintances and forming new
ones. The right hand of jolly good fellowship was passed around and from
every side were heard complimentary
words for the Titusville lodge and the
magnificent "layout" prepared.
At 9 o'clock the visitors were
marched from the club rooms to the
|'dancing hall on the third floor, where
the banquet, was prepared. Coleman's
orchestra, sheltered behind a bower ot
evergreens and plants, heralded the
approach. Three tables were set the]
entire length of the hall and covers
were laid for 160. Not including tbe
orchestra and waiters, this number approximates those who were seated at
the request of Toastmaster Jules A. C.
Dubai-, Esq.
Any dequate description of the tables
or the menu is impossible. Chrysanthemums and carnations were the principal table decorations and a perfect
specimen of carnation was placed at
each plate. Menu card's were combined
with the program of toasts and the
names of the speakers. These cards,
prepared under the direction of Mr.
Dubar, pere preserved as souvenirs,
and it is unnecessary to say that they
were models of grammatical, rhetorical
and literary elegance. The room was
brilliantly lighted and decorated from
celling to chandeliers Tn an attractive
manner. The supper was served in
four courses and was calculated to
leadlly Invite the jealousy or the most
competent boniface present. It began
with oysters, was given a certain stability and a name bj the partridge aud
hasenpfeffer, and ended with mince pie,
coffee, fruit and cigars. Critics of gastronomic perfections could find nothing
but the keenest delight in a contemplation of the banquet.
Men's hearts are reached readily
through their stomachs. When the
meal had been discussed, Toastmaster
J. A. C. Dubar called the company to
order. He reminded the members cf
the two lodges of the occasion last-
January when Titusville Elks were
invited to spend an evening at Meadviile and partake of the hospitality of
the brethren at tbe county seat. He referred to their entertainment as Inimitable. In continuing his brief address
-he spoke of the feeling of brotherhood
which has prompted these fraternal
meetings. His humorous references to
a number of Titusville and Meadviile
members aroused no little merriment.
His subject was "By Way of Welcome."
One of the most humorous events of
the program was the introduction, early
in the evening, of WIHIam Wallen, who
gave a Swedish dialect monologue.
His accent was perfect and he furnished no little amusement.
Toastmaster Dubar .read a letter from
W. R. Randall, of Washington, regretting bis inability to be present, and also
a telegram from- Hon. Arthur L. Bates,,
who extended his kindest regards to
the -members of the two lodges and
promised to be with t'hem in spirit at
the 11 o'clock toast to absent members.
Exalted Ruler A. J. Mayer, of Meadviile lodge, replied to Mr. Dubar's welcome, using the subject, "In Response
Thereto." He said In part that the Titusville organisation' stands without a
peer In tbe matter of entertainment
and that, everything about tbe town and
tbe club rooms breathed a welcome. He
spoke of tbe continual ovation of welcome at the bands of Titusville Elks
from the moment the train reached tne
depot in this city, and added tbat such
gatherings bring into prominence tbe
principles of the order and create a
stronger love for It and a more nearly
perfect feeling of -brotherhood. Men
forget their cares'under such circumstances and recall the real elements of
excellence In the "best people on
earth."   Its angel of mercy, garbed in
the role ot charity] is known throughout the civilized world. The Elks were
first at Galveston and first among the
flooded districts of the west In carrying
comfort and sympathy to the stricken
inhabitants.
Harry J. Relncke rendered a bass
solo, "I Know She Waits for Me,"
which was heartily encored. He was
accompanied by Frank Theobald,
pianist.
One of the most appreciated addresses of the evening was that of Thomas'
Roddy, Esq., of Meadviile. His well
known abilities as an after dinner conversationalist were never displayed to
better advantage and he was heard
with the closest attention. IBs subject was "Fidelity." In beginning be
took occasion to thank the Titusville
lodge for its hearty greeting. He defined Fidelity and dwelt" upon its power for good among people of all classes
and especially among fraternal organizations. One of the cardinal virtues
of the order, he maintained, Is that the
members shall be faithful, honorable
and true in all their transactions. As
we look through history, the men the
nations have trusted were men true to
their fellows. Washington's great
characteristics were fidelity, honor and
truthfulness. • With these principles
upon which to stand he proudly refused
a crown when it was offered and chose
to remain a private citizen of the
country which he had founded. The
same ' may be said of Lincoln, who
saved the country Washington made
possible.   He closed by saying:
"We have now In the president's
chair a man honored because of his
loyalty to tbis country, and I hope that
Theodore Roosevelt will be re-elected
president of the United States."
■ This was followed by three rousing
cheers. He closed with the quotation,
"To God, thy country, and thy friend,
be true."
"Our Absent Brothers," was the subject of the 11 (fislock toast by George
Frank Brown, Esq., of this city. He
reminded his listeners that it was the
sacred hour of Elkdom and the time in
which those absent never . to return
should be appropriately remembered.
He called attention to the custom, existing only among the'Elks, of setting
apart one day of each year in. wblch to
honor deceased brothers. His subject
also included reference to the members
of all represented lodges who were not
present at the meeing of last night.
The Euphonic quartette, composed of
Messrs. Stoddard, Stoddard, Fortney
and Relncke, sang a medley, "A Basketful of Chestnuts." It was so liberally
applauded that they were compelled to
sing "The City Choir."
Charles B. Morgan, vice president of
the,Schatt & Morgan Cutlery company,
of this city, in responding to the toast.
"Our Visiting Brothers," declared that
this was his first offence as an after
dinner speaker. Judging from the
pleasing impression which he made,
this will not be his last effort in that
direction. He expressed the hope that
such meetings may be continued from
time to time and that a stronger fraternal feeling may grow up between
the two organizations.
At this point in t"Re proceedings Mr.
Youngson, of Meadviile, moved that a
joint committee of the two lodges be
appointed to prepare1 "for a clambake
to be held sometime in the near futur*
at which the'members of lodges in surrounding towns shall "be guests. The
motion was numerously seconded and
carried with shouts of approval.
W. R. Stoddard, trie well known soloist, favored, tfie audience with a rendition of "A Beautiful Land on High."
It was applauded vigorously and was
one of the most appreciated efforts of
the evening.
F. H. Dukesmlth, of Meadviile^ responded to the toast, "Fraternity."
Both his address and The excellent one
following it by E. Cowry HUmes, of
Meadviile, are omitted for lack of
space.
Henry Stoddard's solo, "Will o' the
Wisp," was heartily encored.
The Meadviile visitors left fbr home
at 2 o'clock, a large number of Titusville Elks accompanying them as far
as the depot. The evening's entertainment was pronounced mutually enjoyable and tbe complete success which
had been anticipated.

WASHINGTON, Nov. Tl—The senate
began business In earnest today by receiving for the first fime in the session
a number of petitions and also many
..bills! Some of the petitions protested
against Senator Smoot, of _Utah, remaining in the senate.
In presenting a numerously signed
petition asking tfie" senate to expedite
the consideration ofthe charges against
Mr. Smoot, Mr. Boar took (kxasion to
remind the senators of petitions bearing upon Mr. Smoot's case, that the
proceeding is out of order and -improp-
Iper. He based his remarks Upon the
fact that the determination of 'Mr.
Smoot's rights will be a purely judicial
proceeding, to be determined by the
laws and the constitution of the United
States. "With all due respeCt to the
signers of petitions of this character,"
he said. "I want to say to them tb£t
  their petitions aro as much out of place

At Helena and Butte and over the
ranges of Central and Eastern Montana the storm tonight has turned into
a blinding blizzard, with eight inches
of snow at Helena, six inches at Butte,
with a high wind and rapidly dropping
temperature.
Southward in Wyoming, Nevada and
Utah, tbere has been little precipitai
tion so far, but high winds have pre-*|
vailed! for nearly twenty-four hours.
Telegraph service being practically wiped out, with poles and wires
burled in snowdrifts, resulted In the
Pacific northwest being almost completely cut off from tbe outside world
for the greater part of the day, while
conditions were almost as bad in California.

BUTTE, Mont, Nov. 11.—In Butte
and adjoining counties the worst blizzard in years, was experienced this

AN  IN3ANE WOMAN
MURDERS  HUSBAND.
Stmt  Htm  While  He Was Asleep  In
His Chair.
DOVER, Del., Nov. 11.—Mrs. Edith j
Jackson Hollis, a member of an influential Camden, Del., family, murdered her husband, Delaware T. Hollis, by shooting him early today. Hollis was asleep In a chair when his wife
placed the revolver to bis head and
blew out his brains.
Last night the husband consented to
his wife being sent to an asylum for
the Insane, and the wife believed from
that moment that her husband had
turned against her. Mrs. Hollis is
committed to jail until a jury passes
upon her sanity.
Mrs. Hollis is only 25 years old and
her husband was 35. Tbe woman bad
been confined in an insane asylum for
several months, but Her relatives were
allowed to take her home about a
month ago, the impression being that
she was cured.
Recently, however, she became violent and was placed under restraint in
the home of her brother-in-law, Dr. L.
S. Conwell.
At 4 o'clock this morning she eluded
the guard that had been almost constantly watching her, escaped from the
house and made her way to her own
home, where she found her husband
sleeping in a rocking chair.
Without disturbing him she drew a
revolver from her dress and placing it
behind the man's ear killed bim instantly. She then returned to Dr. Con-
well's house and informed the family
of the act.
It was learned today that the demented woman had refused to remain
at her home and Dr. Conwell took her
in charge, believing he could pacify
her.
Lieutenant Bilsen Receives Six Months
BERLIN, Nov. 11.—The military
court at Metz today concluded the
trial of Lieutenant Bilsen; author of
the book entitled, "A Little Garrison,"
and sentenced the lieutenant to six
months In prison and to dismissal from
the army. One month, the time the
officer has already spent in prison, was
allowed to be deducted from the sen
tence. The novel was ordered to be
destroyed. . The decision of the court
was based on the fact that in his novel
Lieutenant Bilsen insulted his superioi
officers and drew such a picture of
events happening in Forbach, Alsac-
Lorraine, that personages living in
that place were compromised. The
court further says that the lieutenant
disobeyed an order of Emperor William forbidding an officer to publish a
pamphlet without the permission of bis
military superiors.

Flames Originated in tnvt .and Could
Not   Be   Checked—History   of
the Boat.
JAMESTOWN, N. Y., N3v, 11.—
[Special.]—The steamer Cityfjbf Chicago is destroyed by fire at Clifton
and this morning all that is left of the
largest vessel of the Chautauqua
Steamboat company's fleet is a mass
of charred wood and twisted metal.
Shortly after the close of the season
the Chicago was hauled up'on tbe ways
at Clifton and a force of ten men bad
[been putting her in condition for 1904.
| About 3:45 Mr. and Mrs, M. C. Lord
and others living nearby discovered
the boat on Are from stem to stern. It
was too late then to quench the flames
and at 10 o'clock this morning the
■ruins: were still blazing.
The origin of the fire is- a mystery.
i The flames apparently had their
-istartin .the bow, ,as that portion ot
the boat was entirely destroyed before
the remainder and the wind blew from
a quarter which would .carry the fire
from bow to stern,
I Originally the boat was named the
J. A. Burtch. in 'honor of a railroad
passenger agent. Later the name was
changed fb Hiawatha and still later to;
City, of Chicago. For the past few
years the boat has been used as an
excursion steamer and for special runs,
and thousands of Jamestowners have
from time to time enjoyed trips over
the lake on this smoothly running, elegantly furnished craft.
GENERAL STRIKE ON
CHICAGO CITY  RAILWAY.
3,000     Employes     Affected—Decision
After Long Controversy.
CHICAGO, Nov. 11.—A general
strike of the 3,000 employes of the
Chicago City railway was decided up
on tonight at a mass meeting of tbe
men. They will quit work at 4 o'clock
tomorrow morning.
Tbis decision was reached after a
controversy that has lasted for over
two weeks between the representatives of the union and the management
of the.railway. Numerous conferences
have been held In an effort to adjust
the difficulty by arbitration, but without successful results, and the decision
tonight to strike tomorrow morning
was unanimously endorsed by the men.
The demands of the union* are for a
wage Increase of 25 per cent., recognition of the union and several
minor concessions. The company requested a postponement of hostilities
until Saturday, when a final answer
would be given, but the men refused to
delay action any longer and decided to
quit work to enforce their demands.
It is said the street railway company
have several hundred men ia reserve
to take tbe places of the strikers and
will endeavor to run their cars with
non-union men. The Chicago street
railway controls all the surface lines
running on the South Side of the city,
making a total of over 220 miles of
track.
GENERAL REDUCTION IN
WAGE8 OF TENTER CENT.
Notices to That Effect Posted in Fall
River Cotton Mills.
FALL RIVER, Mass., Nov. 11.—Notices were posted today in the cotton
mills of this city announcing a general
reduction of 10 per cent, in wages, to
take effect Nov. 28. About 30,000 oper
atives are affected.
It was learned that the reduction
was decided upon at a conference of
Fall River men in Boston Nov. 2.
About eighty mills, owned by forty
corporations, are represented in the
organisation. Most ot the local mills
make print cloths ahd coarser goods,
although a few of them are engaged
In the manufacture of fine goods.
The mills of Fall River,. New Bedford,'Rhode Island and those at numerous points in central and western Massachusetts, together with mills in the
eastern circuit, made a general advance in wages early in 1902. The cotton mills of northern New England
did not increase their scale, and it is
also considered possible that tbe present change in southern New England
will affect the Industry further north.

Idle.

cation and appointed a committee to

decision.
Beavers' counsel asked for a writ ot
habeas corpus and a writ' of certiorari. Judge Lacombe, In denying the
motion, went over tbe several grounds
upon Which the writs were asked and
said that none of them was sufficient
to justify him in overruling the decision of Judge Holt and United States
Commissioner Hitchcock.       ;[*s^
Judge Holt, in the United States dis-'
trict court, granted today the applica.
lion of the government for a warrant
of removal to Washington for Maurice

The Searchlight of Publicity Is Plea*,
ing Titusville People.
Publicity is what the people want.
Let the public speak on tbe subject.
There has been too much claim—too
little proof.
There is only one kind of proof'for
a Titusville citizen.
The experience of people we know.
When friends and neighbors endorse,
No question about such evidence.
This kind of proof backs every box
of Doan's Kidney Pills..
Here is a case of it:
J. S. Gorman of 47 South Franklin
street, says: "I used Doan's Kidney
Pills before coming to Titusville am*
know their value, so on being taken
with lumbago or lameness in my back,
which hurt me when I arose from a
chair and caused a dull grinding aching across> my loins, I went to J. E.
Phillips' drug store and got a box.
They cured the second attack. This
should satisfy a dyed-ln-the-wool doubting Thomas."
For sale by all dealers.' Price 50
cents a box. Foster-Mllburn Co., Buffalo, N. Y., sole agents for the United
States.
Remember the name—Doan's—aad
take no other.
