The reports also showed that there was pald from the friendship fund in the na- ture of lcans to members of the order who were financially stranded, the sum of $34050. The greater portion of this addition there were ations from grateful assisted and who donations would was returned and d. a number of members thought th: assist others, who, like themselves, at some time might be in need of aid in a | monetary way The contributions to this found amounted to $427 OFFICERS ELECTED. At the close of the business of the day, which, in addition to the reading of the reports, consisted of the presentation of th | 1e reports of the several committees who ck visited the under the care of the ief committee, of what had been done for the care of widows and orphans, there | wes the election of officers for the cur- rent term. The election resulted in the choice of W. I Brobeck, Assistant City | and County Attorney, president, in place {of Viee President J. E. Reardon, who }v\ould have been advanced to the presi- dency, but who was forced to decline be- | cause he had accepted an office in another | organization which will take him away | from the city for a great portion of the present term. The new president is a member of Farnsworth Lodge. H. W. | Osthoft of Fidelity Lodge, one of the most | popular men in ‘the order at this time, was chosen for vice president. James | Prancis Nichols of Templar Lodge was | unanimously re-clected secretary and H. | . Neunaber of Yerba Buena Lodge was chosen treasurer, being re-elected without | opposition. | “After the election the officers were duly installed and the new president was hand- ed a watch that had been the property of the committee for more than twenty years and which during that time had never been wound up, for the reason that | the main spring iz broken. The hands | point to the hour of ten, the time when | the meeting is to be called to order every Sunday morning. He was informed that it was the duty of every president to wear that watch in order to remynd him of the hour when he is to call the committee to order. PRESENTED WITH CHARM. After this there was the presentation by past grand of Magnolia Lodge, on behalf of the committee, to A. M. Brand, the retiring president, of a beautiful fob charm, in gold and enamel, | with a diamond in the center of the all- seeing eye, in recognition of the faithful- ness in which he discharged the duties of his office during his term. There was a response of thanks, then congratula- tory speeches by Past Presidents Watson, Doyle and others, after which there was | an adjournment to the banquet hall of the building, where a most tempting dinner was served. The new president was the er and after the dinner had been ed there was a -call upon the prominent members of the committee and past officers to respond. Toasts were re- sponded to by the vice president, H. W. Osthoff; the past president, A. M. Brand; the other officers of the committee, and a number of Odd Fellows who have in the past served in various capacities on the committee. L e e e e e Subpenaing Boodle Case Witnesses. §T.

A few minutes after 8 o'clock last even- ing a cry of *“fire” in the Russ House startled the guests of that hostelry, and for a time a small panic prevailed within the walls of the establishment. The ma- jority of the guests had just finigshed their dinner and were in their rooms when one of the lodgers was heard rushing along an upper floor toward the stairway shout- ing “fire” at the top of his voice. The warning was heard by Manager Newman and the bell boys in the ho!el office on the first floor, and they were quick to realize the expediéncy of prompt action. Unfortunately for their purposeA however, they could not immediately lo- cate the man who had sent up the cry. and {t was several minutes bofore they | discovered that,the cause of the alarm | was on the top floor. Reaching that part of the hotel they found the carpet and woodwork behind two trunks that were standing in a hallway burning. A still alarm was sent in to the fire vatrol, which quickly responded, and in a few minutes the blaze was extinguished. Meanwhile, however, the greater num- ber of the guests had rushed wildly from their rooms and were frantically search- ing for fire escapes and other means of exit from the hotel. of which there are | and for a minute or so played an unap- preciated role of Adam along the corridor on which his room is located. He was | suddenly brought to a realization that modern ethics, even In such trying times | | a8 a panic in a city hotel, demand that | | Ruests of the latter conform to dress “American | Large Sums Are DlStl’]bUted\“""“ and he hastily retreated to his room | by Relief Branch of Odd‘ to meditate at his lelsure over the ridicu- lous spectacle he had furnished for the | | other guests of the Russ many. Not a few of the guests made a hurried appearance partly disrobed, and one male lodger, who happened to be | bathing at the time the cry of “fire” was | | heard, abandoned all thought of modesty With the assistance of his help Manager | Newman finally quleted the anxiety of m_«i work. The damage was nominal. 1903. CLAIM GUMPEQY 15 NOT INGANE Mystery Surrounds His Incarceration in Hospital. Is Being Held for Examina- tion Into His Mental Condition. RN e 3 Considerable mystery surrounds the cause of the detention in the insanity ward of the Central Emergency Hospital of a young man named Albert Gumpeoy, who was taken to that institution Satur- day afternoon by a Dr. Schick, who is said to have sworn to a complaint that | his patient was mentally unbalanced. | Previous to his incarceration in the insane | ward Gumpeoy was a patient at the Mc Nutt - Hospital, where he was treated by Dr. Schick for the effects of gas asphyx- | fation. Gumpeoy In his conversation gives no | evidences of mental incompetency and the nurses who attended him at the McNutt Hospital say that he showed no signs of insanity while there. Attendants at the Emergency Hospital give like reports of his conduct while at that institution Gumpeoy says that the reason he was taken from the McNutt Hospital was that he did not receive an expected remittance from New York and was unable to pay his bill to Dr. Schick. He was visited yesterday at the hospital by a Mr. and Mrs. Terry, who sald they were well acquainted with the young man and his relatives. They told the attend- ants that his brother was a wealthy New Yorker and they scoffed at the idea that the young man was insane. Dr. Schick, who had charge of the pa- tient, is not known to the medical frater- nity of this city. It is said that he has come here only recently from T.os An- geles. When Gumpeoy inhaled the over- dose of gas he was rooming at 334 Golden Gate avenue. He s entirely without | funds.

It is beli ved that some guest, or possibly an employe of the hotel, carelessly threw a lighted | cigarette behind the trunks and that it | eventually ignited the carpet and wood- | ABUSIVE WORD FOR PRESIDENT Cyclist Directs a Flood of Profanity at Mr. Roosevelt. Disgraceful Conduct Before Chief Executive's Wife and Family. OYSTER BAY, N. Y., Aug. 2—Profane and abusive language was directed to- | ward President Roosevelt and his family | to-day as they were driving up to Christ | Church to attend the morning The offender was a resident of Oyster Bay, McCann by name. He was hustled | away from the church anceremoniously | by secret service men, I Accofhpanied by Mrs. Roosevelt and | two of her children, the President had driven to the village from Sagamore Hill to attend church, as is his custom on | Sunday mornings. Directly in fron* of | the church McCann was walking along | the roadside, pushing a bicycle. As the President’s carriage was about to turn | into the drlveway leading to the church | grounds It passed MecCann. McCann, | with an oath, demanded to know whether | the President wanted the whole road. | This was followed by abusive and pro- | fane language. As the carriage stopped at the church door the President, greatly annoyed at the insult offered to Mrs. Roosevelt and the children, alighted and directed the at- tention of the secret service officers to the man and ordered that he be compelled to leave the vicinity of the church. Me- Cann hesitated when ordered to move on, but as an officer was about to stimulate his movements he sprang upon his whee and rode away rapidly. While the incident was annoying to the President and his family, it is his d that no action be taken against the man. prastod sl vsbp iz Dispute Ends in Murder. CANTON, Mass., Aug. 2—Hiram H. | Poole, a baker, was stabbed to death to- | night in Sherman street by one of three | Italians. His assailants fled after the | murder.and have not been arrested. There was a dispute of some kind and residents of the nelghborhood were startled by | Poole’s cries for help. He was stabbed three times, twice in the neck and once in the breast, but managed to stagger | into Washington street, a distance of 54 | feet, where he fell dying on the street. A POLISH CUSTOM “THE WEDDING PARTY” “The Wedding Party,” by Kowalski, illustrates the Polish form of a custom which exists in almost every civilized and many semi-civilized countries. In the agricultural districts of Poland, fv’v]ux-e horses are most neces- sary to cover long distances over the broad steppes, it is most natural that the wedding procession should take the form of a ‘“promenade en voiture.” It is such a scene, full of life and gayety, that is depicted in the picture reproduced in the art supplement. color and lively movement combine to give the scene a character of Joy- ousness and a “go’’ seldom found in pictorial representations. “The Wedding Party,” which is at present exhibited at the Chicago Art Institute, is the property of Mr.and Mrs. Joseph Rosenbaum of cm. cago, and is held in high favor.
