THE OMAHA DAILY e I I I e I S BEE: MONDAY, DECEMBER 3, 1894, ELKS REMEMBER THEIR DEAD Aonual Lodge of Sorrow Largely Attended Yesterday Afternoon, INPRESS.VE MEMCRIAL EXERCISES Eulogles by Drs. Butler and Mackay and Singing by the Quartet and Others Funereal Draping of Hall and Pletures of the Departed. For a number of years it has been an annual custom of the Beneyolent Protective Order of Elks throughout the United States to gather about the altars of thelr lodges, and, with solemn and impressive ceremonies, pay tribute to the dead and gone members of the order, This day for years has been the first Sunday in December and yesterday the brethren of Omaha lodge No. 39 gathered together in their annual lodge of sorrow to lay flowers and beautiful thoughts upon the graves of those who have passed out beyond the bar. The lodge room was a bower of smilax and palms, the emblems of the order were draped in green, the beautiful bronze elk was en- twined with garlands of smilax, while the pictures of the dead members, Willlam B Alexander, John F. Boyd, Willis F. Clarke, Colonel James M. Eddy, Dwight W.“Hull, Colonel E. D. Webster, Captain D. Haines, Willam L. Harding, Cormick, Charles P. Needham, Thomason and Phillip A. Warrick, were druped with the tendrils of love. Nothing could have been more appropriate to the occasion than these decorations, being well considered and artistically arranged around the cosy home of the Elks in Omaha, ALL HAD A TRIBUTE. The room was filled with the members of the order, a large sprinkling of lady friends contributing to the interest in the occasion, which has become one of deep thought to the rank and file of the brotherhood which strives to emulate the words of Will of Avon: “He hath u tear of pity and a hand Open as day for melting charity. At 3 o'clock the lodge entered in a body, preceded by Past Exalted Ruler George P. Cronk, Rev. 8. Wright Butler and Rev. T. J. Mackay, those upon whom the brunt of the exercises of the day would fall. Exalted Ruler Cronk, in a few well chosen words, told of the objects of the gathering, its deep significance to those left behind to mourn the absent ones, Then the Elks quar- tet, A, J. Van Kuran, E. B. Treat, W. S McCune and J. F. Barton, sang “‘Forsaken, by Koschat, a beautifully worded and worthy composition’ to be sung on such a day. It was sung, too, with deep feeling, musical in every sense. Mr. Jules Lumbard followed the quartet by singing “Light in Darkness,” by Horatlo C. King, an old friend of the sololst’s, and a composition suited splendidly to the singer’s rich bass, Mr. Lumbard being in splendid form to do his friend and cow poser honor. The lodge of sorrow was then formally opened, the exalted ruler calling upon the officers in turn to respond to sentiments in keeping with the solemnity of the meeting. Rey. Dr. 8. Wright Butler, in offering the blessing upon those gathered in annual ses- sion In memory of the dead, spoke feelingly of the lowly vale through which the absent ones had passed. He prayed for a fuller un- derstanding of God, a stronger appreciation of the love which passeth comprehension. “Sancta Maria” was then rendered by Mr. W. S. McCune in a manner that left little to be desired, his rich, sympathetic baritone being particularly adapted to the rendition of Faure's immortal tone poem. NEAR TO THE DEAD. Rev. Dr. Butler, in speaking of the eulogy of the occasion, began his short discourse by quoting from the scripture that portion wherein It says that it is fitting to go to the house of sorrow. He then developed his thought by telling something of the life of Jesus Who, he sald, had inaugurated the first lodge of scrrow on the earth. He drew a strong picture between the elks of the forest and the human Elks gathered in sorrow about the open grave, and, as Jesus remarked once how much Dbetter a man was than a sheep, he could only recall how much better these human Elks were than those from which the order derives its inspiration. He spoke of the nead with well- considered phrase, pald a high tribute to their manhood, their sterling qualiti:s, and said ““Phey loved as you love and I love; they loved the ecstacy of xistence; they have been absent from the lodge rcom, from you, from their homes for years. We owe it to them therefore to bring them back to this lodge room in memory and live with them again in sweet sympathy. The years that you have been without them have been leading you toward them. When we shall reach the portiere of filmy lace that an infant’s hand can part we ought to re- member that it is not so hard to pass be- yond. “1 Cannot Always Trace the Way,"” music by Dow, was sung by the quartet and was a fitting postiude to Mr. Butler's eulogy, which was filled with beautiful word pictures that attracted and held the audience throughout the ten minutes of his talk. In the absence of E. M. Bartlett, on account of serfous illness, Mr. Strickland read Mr. Bartlett's general eulogy, which was couched in splendid words, thoughtful and complete. “Consolation,” by Howard M. Dow, seemed particularly appropriate, and was sung by the quartet with musicianly effect, the volces blending splendidly; particularly with the basses was this apparent. In fact, the work of the quartet was highly satisfactory, and the Elks have reason to be proud of the boys, for they stand among the best quartets of the west. LIKE A WHITE STONE. Rev, T. J. Mackay, In responding to the call of the exalted ruler to say something, began his talk with reference to the pantheon and the old customs the Romans had of setting up their heroes in fitting places, and on certain occasions gathering about the mar- ble efgies to pay tribute to thelr brave deeds. “You who are stunned by the loud clamor of the world come to this room to lis- ten to the volces of your dead ”brothers These thoughts are called dream thoughts, but they are much more; they are the dear- est thoughts in the world. These days are like the white stones set up in the ancient days by the Jews to commemorate great occa- gions. This day, then, is a white stone in your lives, and should be so. You are not mortal, you are not materlal, for there is a Father above and over you, and I wish we could get the men of Omala to realize this. May God grant that the echo of this day come back to us from the other land. It is these sorrowful moments that are the sweetest things of life. Until sorrow enters your life you do not know how to live. God grant that you may realize the eternal fath- erhiood beyond the stars.” Following Mr. Mackay's eulogy, which seemed to come from the heart, the officers and members were called up. The exalted ruler called upon the officers to testify if charity and brotherly love had been shown, and then, after proper answers, the “doxol- ogy” was sung, and Mr. Mackay pronounced the benediction, closing the annual lodge of gorrow of Omaha's lodge of Elks in due form as the ritual has it. The success of the meeting was largely due to the com- mittee on memorial service, which was com- posed of George P. Cronk, chalrman 8. Potter, W. B. Taylor, Arthur Van Kuran and Jules Lumbard, Douglas County Veterans. There was a meeting of the directors of the Douglas County Veteran assoclation in the parlors of the Colonnade hotel Saturday evening, November The purpose of the meeting was to perfect organizgation and to prepare for the re union next summer of all soldiers of the civil | war residing In Douglas county, The different Grand Army of the Republio posts of the county were represented by Allison, Iyon and Haze of Phil Kearney, Fort Omaha; Custer post by Henderson and M. J. Freeman of Omaha, Babbitt, DeBolt and Wilte of Bennington; Grant by Bloom, Jeffcoat and Adamsky of Omaba; Crook post’ by Commander Hull of Omaba; Livings- | of his birth Charles | ton of Bennett and Blair of South Omaha Atlanta post, Waterloo, by Whitney and McDougal. gl 2 MILITANTS WILL MARCH.

The committee on arrangements has spared no time nor expense to make this event a grand affair as a fit_reminder of that great and glorious man, who fell in the battle of Lutzen, November 6, 1632, fighting for the cause of Protestantism and liberty.

It started in the boxing building at the Cudahy packing plant, and, after a stubborn fight on the part of the fire- men for three hours, was gotten under con- trol. Some of the men were at work in the build- ing yesterday. As they entered the building fire was discovered in the nail room. There had been no fire anywhere near this partic- ular portion of the structvre and the origin of the blaze is quite a mystery. The boxing building is the house in Which all of the boxes used by the company are made. Al- though a one-story structure, it is very large and fs all the time packed with boxes and boxing material. There machinery used in this department. Within a few seconds from the time the first blaze was seen the flames shot from one section to another until the whole interior was full of fire, The lumber was dry and everything in the place burned rapidly. An alarm was sent in and the South Omaha paid firemen were the first to respond. lowed by the stock yards firemen and Hammond team, and the firemen from Omaha packing plant were not far behind. To the south of the boxing building is the butterine department. It looked as though this structure would go for a time, but the firemen saved it. The immense hide cellar joined the burning building on the north. In this cellar are thousands of dollars’ worth of hides. Three streams were kept constantly at the north and the fire was prevented from getting into the cellar. In front of the box- ing building to the east fs the packing house laundry. There is a space of about thirty feet between the two. The fire started at about 7:35, and at 9 o'clock the immense roof of the structure caved in. When it fell the flames shot up- ward about 100 feet. At this juncture it was feared that the fire would spread to the surrounding buildings, but good engineer- ing and constant work on the part of the fire- men and the workmen employed at the plant kept the fire n the one building. The fact that the boxing building is located almost a block from the main plant kept the danger in a comparatively small quarter. The damage amounted to about $15,000, which is covered by insuraice. The damage to the building is estimated.at $8,000, and to the stock $7,000. The company had $6,000 in surance on the building alone, and the stock was fully insured. The Omaha fire department was not called to assist at the fire. Manager Hawley of the American District Telegraph and Western Union here, where all the alarms are scnt from, talked with the chief in Omaha and explained tha extent of the fire, but did not ask them to come. The Omaha firemen were ready to respond in case their services were needed. The rumor that the Omaha firemen had refused to come to South Omaha is un- true. the the Fulled to Catch the Burglars. Burglars entered Mr. Hogan's .grocery store at Thirty-second and Q streets at an early hour yesterday morning. Mr. Hogan lives up stairs and heard the men at their work. He quietly descended the back stair- way and went to look for a policeman.. Of- ficer Riches and Chief Brennan were soon on hand. The thieves entered through a window, but when they went out they left the back door open.. They must have left In a hurry, as several large baskets of goods had been packed, but were left standing in the middle of the floor. The officers entered cautiously in the hope of bagging one or two of fhe gang, but they were off before the police even got sight of them. The mem- bers of a certain gang in that neihborhood were seen lurking about this store early in the evening and are strongly suspected of doing the job. Tho Misses Helnz Entertain. Lauretta and Ella Heinz gave a delightful party to a number of their young friends Saturday afternoon.

The marriage of Miss Malissa Gosney to Jonas B. Talmage was solemnized at the res- fdence of the bride's parents, 716 North Twenty-second street, last evening at 8:30 o'clock. Only members of the families of the contracting parties were present. The marriage ceremony was performed by Rev. Kuhns-of Omaha, after which a supper was served. The couple will make their home in Omaha. The bride fs one of the most ac- complished young ladies in South Omaha, and is the daughter of Mr. J. S. Gosney, the well known live stock commission man. Library Mass Meeting. There will be a mass meeting of all citi- zens who are interested in the South Omaha public library at Bauer's hall next Tuesday evening. The object is to work up a little more interest and enthusiasm for the li- brary. A very interesting program has been arranged for the occasion. It will be made up of music, song and addresses by Omaha and South Omaha citiz Among the speakers are Hon. T. J. Mahoney, Hon. W. F. Gurley and Judge Scott. Charged with Dog Stealing. Dave McCourt was arrested yesterday on the charge of stealing Fred Bowley's mastift dog. The dog was found in the pos- session of McCourt, but the latter claims that he bought the dog and paid $25 for it When asked by the officer from whom he purchased the dog, McCourt did not tell Bowley values the dog at $26, and the collar he wore at $1. McCourt was released on ball, but the dog was held. —_——— Cheap Rates tu the West.

Donnelly and Girardl are two of the most consclentious and . hard working comedian: and thelr success of two seasons, the musical and muscular fanoe-comedy, “The Rainmak ers,”” drew a crowded house at the Boyd last night. Donnelly and Girard, of course, do most of the work of the show, and thelr parts call for the usual amount of singing, novelty | dancing and contortion specialties that have made them popular and rich. Miss Anoie | Martell is still the soubrette of the company {and leads in some clever singing and danc- | | ing, supported by six girls, all pretty and | petite. ~ Miss Isabella Urquhart, as Mrs General Piper Heldsick, has a part which | admits only of looks and dressing, and she does that to perfection. The Lelgh sisters appear in the pretty illusion, the mirror dance, and end thelr specialty with a nov- elty dance that would be hard to beat. The Harcourt sisters, four in number, scored a | decided hit with their rope-skipping dance. | All of the male members of the company have more or less pleasing specialties, and | the performance, as a whole, is bright and brisk, furnishing two hours of very pleasant entertainment. “Bunch of Keys" at the Fifteenth, Hoyt's familiar ekit and first suc- cess, “A Bunch of Keys,” opened a four nights' engagement at the Fifteenth Street | theater, to a large housg. The play is an | old-time favorite of its Kind, and was pro- duced in a very satisfactory manner. Ada Bothner as Teddy, and Charles W. Bowser as Snaggs, are veterans in their parts and have lost none of their well known ability to please. Harry Foy is the Grimesey of the company. He is a very clever dancer, sings well, and does a specialty turn that catches. The company is good and the songs and speclalties all new. Footlight o8, The popular little actress, Emmett, is underlined for an engageme at the Fifteenth Strect theater in the near future, producing her latest success, “Kil larney." Palmer Cox's Miss Katie “Brownies” is the biggest hif of the season in New York. Two or three thousand people were turned away from the matinee last Saturday, unable to sccure either seats or standing room. The fiftieth anniversary of Hans Balatka will be appropriately celebrated at the Chi- cago Auditorium March 5. The German sing- ing societies proposc to make it a great musical event in the history of Chicago. Alfons Czibulka, well known Hungarian composer, died at Vienna Oct. 26. He was born in Hungary in 1842. Czibulka is best known to Americans by his eternal “‘Dream After the Ball” and his opera “Amorita.” A very beautiful and touching piece of music has been written and composed by W. B. Kirtlani. 1t is entitled “The Broken Harp” and is in memoriam of the late Prof. David Swing, introducing his favorite hymn, “Lead, Kindly Light. According to the general criticism of the London press, Gilbert and Carr's new oper- otta, “His Excellencv,” is a work of much more than average nierit, but it is by no means up to the lev ¢ the genuine Gilbert and Sullivan producuu:i. ““Agatha Tilden, Merchant and Ship Owner” will be one of the pieces which Mrs. Langtry will present during her fortnight's engage- ment at the Chicago opera house. She lias several plays this season in her repertory entirely new to this country. Mrs. Langtry's movements since reached this country two weeks ago been curlous erosglr. She arrived in New York as quietly .as the proverbial mou slipped out: again we quietly, and has prac: tically been playing one-night stands ever since. Frank W. Perley, Mme. Modjeska's Amer- ican manager, reports that the great actress has begun a tour of Poland, appearing in repertory and speaking the English lan- guage, but with the support of Polish stock companies. She is preparing to give the role of Fedora in the Polish language. Richard Mansficld played recently at Lynn, Mass., and a local dressmaker sent word to Katherine Grey, who plays leading roles in support, that she would present to Miss y a “‘gorgeous party dress” provided the dressmaker's name be menticned always in the program. The dress is still at Lynn. Ada Rehan, supported by the regular stock company, returned to Daly's New York theater last Tuesday night for the season, opening in “Twelfth Night.” The consecrated”” Ada is, if anything, more pop- ular than ever, and lier really matchless im- personation of Violi was witnessed by a large and_fashionable audience. The re- ceipts for Miss Rehan's starring tour, which ended last week, were simply phenomenal and probably the' largest ever known to any star or combination since the days of Booth and Barrett. Ezra Kendall, the popular ecc dian, is the coming attraction at the Fifteenth Strect theater for three nights, commencing | Thursday evening, December 6, when he will produce his new comedy drama, “The Sub- stitute.” Mr. Kendall still enacts the bucolis old man, but in his new play better cppor- tunity {8 given him fur artistic work than was afforded him in “A Pair of Kids." [he supporting company is said to be a thoroughly competent one and includes, among other: the talented and popular little soubrette, Misy Jennie Dunn. As a result of the quarrel between Jeffer- son, Klaw & Erlanger and Rosenberg, the business manager fr; Hammerstein's Harlemn opera house, Olga Nethersole, Sol Smith Rus- sell, W. H. Crane, Roland Reed and other | stars, have cancelled their contracts to a pear at the Harlem opera house. In add tion to this, Jefferson, Klaw & Erlanger and J. Wesley Rosenquest are to build a new theater in the immediate vicinity of Ham- merstein’s house and have already booked nearly every important star and combination to play there next season. This is to be a great year for Victorien Sardou on two continents, Four of the great playwright's works are now running simul- taneously at four of the Paris theaters—a revival of “Mme. Sans Gene' at the Vaude- ville, a revival of “Nos Villageois” at the Gymnase, a revival of “Don Quiehotte” at the Chatelet, and “Gismonda,” with Sarah Bernhardt in the title role, at the Renais- sance. In this country “Mme. Sans Genc is now being produced; *“Gismonda,” with Miss Fanny Davenport in the leading role, is to be produced next month, and “A Woman's Silence,” the newest of all, was produced at the New York Lyceum theater. Sardou’s royalties on these seven productions will afford him a prineely income. “Talking about funny incidents on the stage,” sald Will Daniels, the comedian, ac- cording to the Syracuse Post, “I witnessed a good one ™.
