Dealers in eggs report that the counties about are flooding the cities and towns of Maryland and Virginia with the shelled nu- triment. Hens seem to be swarming to their nests for business. The drop of the domestic cluckers has brought about a big drop in prices. In Washington county eggs have gone down to a cent apiece in the markets. Up to the coming of the deluge they brought usually twenty cents a dozen. One train on its way to Hagerstown picked up at a number of small stations 4,500 dozens of eggs. Dealers here say if the Maryland and Virginia hens keep up their activity their output will not be worth waiting for. They are just running down their own value. Delegates and Stewards Chosen. At the annual meeting last night at the Congress Street M. P. Church Capt. J. D. Cathell was elected delegate to the next conferenc2, and Mr. J. E. Stake alternate. Stewards were elected as follows: Mr. T. W. Grimes, Mr. Richard Young, Mr. James E. Stake, Mr. William Selby and Mr. Jacob Young. Trustees were elected also, the choice being Mr. John E. Cox, Mr. J. D. Cathell, Mr. Geo. A. Birch, Mr. John Edw. Libbey, Mr. W. K. Grimes and Mr. Chas. W. Edmonston. The conference meets the first Wednesday in April. It is expected that Mr. Graham will come back to the Congress Street Church for the fifth year of pastoral service. The report of last year’s stewards showed the church to be in splendid condition. Not a dollar of indebt- edness is on the structure. All last year’s contingent expenses were paid out of the basket collections. In addition to all this, there is a surplus on hand. Inercase in Canal Traflic. A Williamsport, Md., special to the Bal- timore American says: It is stated that over 200 boats will be run on the Chesa- peake and Ohio canal during the boating season, allowing an additional increase as the season progresses. Several new boats will start from here at the opening of the canal at Powells Bend, one mile from this place, where the Cumberland Valley rail- road connects with the canal. Prepara- tions are being made for the coming trade, and extensive improvements are going on. The wharves at this point are being re- paired, and a force of canal employes is at work cleaning out the basin at Victor Cushwa & Sons’ elevator and wharves pre- paratory to the resumption of navigation. Since the disastrous flood in 1890 the canal has gradually resumed its former prosperity. Canal men and coal dealers here predict that the cOming season will be one of the most prosperous in the his- tory of the waterway. Death of a Venerable Minister. Yesterday at noon the remains of the Rev. Mr. E. R. McGregor, who died over on the Virginia side of the river, at Ballston, were consigned to the earth. Affecting services were held over the dead in Mt. Olivet Chapel. ‘fhe Rev. Dr. Kinzer of the Mary- land M. P. conference preached the funeral sermon. The dead man was eulogized highly. Three other representatives of the clergy were present to testify their esteem for the departed minister. Mr. McGregor had reached his seventy-eighth year. For over two-thirds of his life he had devoted himself to the service of God, and for twen- ty-three years he was a member of the Maryland conference. Buried in Rock Creek Cemetery. Mr. John A. Quinan, who died early last Saturday morning, was buried yes- terday at Rock Creek cemetery. Pneu- monia brought on the end. Deceased was the son of the late Dr. Quinan of Bal- timore. For a long time he was in the War Department, where he made many friends. The last services were conducted by the Rev. Dr. Thomas O. Tongue at deceased’s late residence, 1516 29th street.

The bottle law in the District was amended by the last Congress and an old and long-standing controversy was forced to take a new turn yesterday in a suit be- fore Justice Harper. The parties were F. H. Finley, the bottler, and S. C. Raub, a junk dealer, and the bone of contention was six dozen beer bottles. The law has been that bottlers who blew their names in their bottles and recorded the fact in court could get them back from their customers, as they only loaned them in order to sell their contents. But the law has been ig- nored by the retailers, and they have ha- bitually sold their bottles to the junk men. The law has now been patched up, and as the justices have the right to issue writs of replevin Mr. Finley sought to get pos- session of some of his bottles,together with damages to the amount of 2 cents per day for each bottle. He got a verdict of 1 cent damages. The case excited great interest and there were many bottlers and junk men present. ee A Pleasant Package Party. Calanthe Lodge, No. 11, K. of P., enter- tained its friends at Castle Hall last night with a package party, which was largely attended. Mr. John W. Thompson presided over the musical entertainment which was given during the evening, the program of which was participated in by Miss Annie Miss Calanthe Stickels, Miss nie Withers, Miss Nellie Sacery, Mrs. Harding and Messrs. Cathel, Miles, Taylor, Wehmeyer and Weber. AFFAIRS IN ALEXANDRIA Sporting Circles Preparing for a Revival New Freight Depot to Be Erected by the Baltimore and Ohio Road— Other Matters of Interest. Hite Peckham, the clever welter-weight boxer, who has made this city his home for more than a year past, returned yesterday from a trip to New York and the east, where he has made an unsuccessful at- tempt to arrange a sparring match with some of the cracks of that section. Some time ago a match with Billy McMil- lan, champion of the District of Columbia, was promised him, and it is now more than probable that the match will be made shortly, as Peckham has offered to fight McMillan at any weight. When they get together it will be the best match seen in this section for some time. Peckham is the best man in his class around this way, and has not been bested in any go since he has made this city his home, and he has made a number of friends here who stand ready to back him for al- most any amount in reason. The Henry Theater, which was closed by order of Mayor Strauss some six months ago, will probably be opened shortly with the Peckham-McMillan go‘as a leader and several minor lights. Funerals Today. The funeral of the late Mrs. Mary H. Price, whose death in Richmond was men- tioned in The Star, and whose remains were brought to this city on Sunday, took place from her late home, on South Co- lumbus street, today at noon, and was at- tended by a large concourse of sorrowing friends. Rev. J. H. Butler of the Baptist Church, of which the deceased had for forty-three years heen a member, conduct- ed _ the services. The funeral of Mr. Alexander H. Brown, who died on Saturday afternoon, took place from his late residence, on Fairfax street, this afterncon at 3 o'clock, and was at- tended by the Knights of Pythias and Red Men, of which he was a member. A large number of friends followed the remains to the grave. Freight Depot to Be Built. Plans and specifications for a large depot to be erected on the water front between Wolfe and Duke streets by the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company have been re- ceived in this city and are being figured on by a number of Alexandria contractors. The building will be a frame with a brick foundation. This will be a big accommo- dation to the business men. Personal and General Notes. Mrs. A. D. McLeod and her daughter,Miss Ethel, of Cincinnati, Ohio, accompanied by Miss Mai Uhler of this city, will go to Baltimore on Thursday to spend a few days. Dr. Wm. R.

The stage, on which the orchestra sat, was decorated with palms, and the bright bits of coloring mingling with these made a striking picture. Eighteen couples participated in the grand march and fancy drill, which intro- duced the gaiety of the evening, the cos- tumes depicting the styles of Germany, France, England and America in the earlier periods of their history. Those who were in line were: Misses Nora Braun, Minnie Kanler, Kathe Hess, Kahler, Wet- zell, Karpeles, Rickenbacher, Schoenborn, Huger, Florence, Emily and Blanche Dev- lin, Lederer, Carrie and Lillie Schaefer and Mrs. McMonigal, and Messrs. Duehring, Spier, Spiess, Link, Rennard, Scheiblich, Lerch, Stiefel, Schneider, Eisinger,Schmidt, Wolft, Tomlin, McMonigal, Horning, A Schmidt and M. Schmidt. As soon as the march was concluded the dancing began, and continued without in- termission until 12 o'clock, when supper was served in the drill room of the armory. An hour was given to those who desired it to enjoy a delightful repast and a family conversation, for the Turn-Verein is one big family, after which the dancing was begun again. : Miss Kathe Hess acted the part of mas- ter of ceremonies, assisted by the follow- ing committee cn arrangements: Mrs, Mica Heidemann, chairman; Miss Eva Karpeles, secretary; Mrs. H.

It is Well Worth Knowing Now That Grip 1s Striking Down Feeble People. | The economy of a nation is disturbed when great amounts of money are hoarded instead of : being kept in free circulation. The economy of the human body wuffers when the blood is stored up in certain organs while others have scarcely ezough to live on. This hoarding of blood is called congestion and it is one of the dangers of the present outbreak of grip. It affects lungs, stomach and bowels. Congestion unrelieved becomes inflammation and every intelligent person knows what that means when the centers of life are affected. That grow- ing soreness across the chest, that painful sense of fullness in the head, are signs that the grip has laid its clutches upon you. “Please send me six bottles of Duffy's Pure Malt Whisky,” writes Mr. B. Alexander of Mal- vern, Iowa; “it is the best medicine for the grip and we must have it.” Congested organs are relieved of their surplas of blood, the circulation is equalized, the appetite and the tion improved this Wholesome ‘sad helpful sthonaat? Tat explatas its unbroken success in cases of grip. Nothing which docs less will ward off the and no product of mortal skill can do more. Sub- fected to the stern test of experience Duffy's Pure Malt Whisky has established itself firmly in the esteem of physicians, and its strengthening influence, wonder what they would do without it in these bleak winter days, when grip is in the air. Nobody need try to do without it, for grocers and always have it in stock, knowing that lence in its usefulness has bred a steady. demand for it. Doctors differ as to the final effect of certain remedies. There are few, the value of which is beyond dispute. "a Pure Malt Whisky is among them. REVISING THE CANONS Recommendations of a Special Committee Submitted. Results of the Deliberations Directed by the Episcopal Church Gen- eral Convention. The committee sppointed at the general convention of the Protestant Episcopal Church of the United States to revise the constitution and canons of the church has submitted the results of its protracted de- liberations in a report which has been made public. The revision provides that there shall be a general synod, consisting of the house of bishops and the house of deputies, which shall sit and deliberate separately, and that freedom of debate be allowed. Either house may originate and propose legislation, but every act must be adopted by both houses, and be certified by the signatures of the presiding officer and of the secretary of each house. House of Bishops. The house of bishops is to be composed of every bishop 2f the church having juris- diction, every bishop coadjutor and bishops whose resignation of jurisdiction shall have been accepted. A majority of all the bish- ops_entitled to vote, exclusive of mission- ary bishops, shall be necessary to consti- tute a quorum. The house of bishops shall elect by a mi jority vote from its own number a primus to be its presiding officer, who shall hold office for life, unless he resigns or be re- moved for incapacity or for canonical cause. The church in each diocese which shall have been admitted to the general synod shall be entitled to be represented in the house of deputies by not more than three presbyters canonically resident in the dio- cese and three laymen, communicants of this church and having domicile in the dio- cese. Each diocese shall prescribe the man- ner in which its deputies shall be chosen. In either house any number less than a quorum may adjourn from day to day. Neither house during the session of the general synod shall adjourn without the consent of the other for more than three days, nor to any place other than that in which the synod shall be sitting. Supreme Legislative Authority. The general synod is to be the supreme legislative authority. It shall also have Power to enact canons of discipline and ex- clusive power to enact canons defining the offenses for which bishops, presbyters and deacons may be tried, and determining the penalties. The court for the trial of a bishop is to be composed of bishops only. Many other powers are clearly defined. The revision also provides for the uniting into provinces of the diocese and mission- ary jurisdictions. Every province must in- clude not less than five contiguous dioceses, and in each province a synod, composed of the bishops and clergy and laity, shall be constituted by the action of a majority of the convention of the dioceses within such provinces and of the bishops therein, for the exercise of such legislative powers as are not inconsistent with the constitutional powers of the general synod. The bishops of each province shall elect one of their number to be primate of the province. : In every diocese the bishop or bishop-co- adjutor shall be chosen agreeably to such rules as shall be prescribed by the conven- tion of the diocese. Missionary bishops shall be chosen by the house of bishops. Jurisdiction of Bishops. A bishop shall confine the exercise of his office to his own diocese or missionary ju- risdiction, unless requested to perform some episcopal act in another diocese or in a missionary jurisdiction by the ecclesiastical authority thereof, or authorized and ap- pointed by the house of bishops to act tem- porarily in case of next beyond the terri- torial limits of the United States. No one shall be ordained and consecratea bishop until he shal-be thirty years of age, ror without the consent of the majority of the bishops exercising jurisdiction in the United States. No one shall be ordained and consecrated by less than three bishops, A bishop may not resign his jurisdiction without the consent of the house of bishops. Bishops may be consecrated for foreign lands with the approbation of a majority of the bishops of the church, but such bishops shall not be entitled to vote on the house of bishops, nor shall they perform any act of the episcopal office in any dio- cese or missionary jurisdiction of this church unless requested to do so by the ecclesiastical authority thereof. There is also a provision that in every diocese there shall be a standing com- mittee appointed by the convention of the diocese. Creation of New Dioceses, A new diocese may be formed and erect- ed, with the consent of the general synod and of the provincial synod, out of the ex- isting diocese, or by the junction of two or more dioceses or parts of dioceses, .> in a missionary jurisdiction, but such consent shall not be given unless the proposed dio- cese contain at the time the consent is given at least ten duly organized and self- supporting congregations and ten presby- ters, who have been at least one year can- onically resident and for the same period holding a cure within the bounds of such proposed diocese and qualified to vote fora bishop. Nor shall such consent be given if any existing diocese shall be so reduced as to contain at the same time less than fifteen duly organized and self-supporting congre- gations and fifteen presbyters residing therein and qualified as above mentioned, nor without the approval of the bishop or bishops and of the convention or conven- tions concerned, nor until the general synod has satisfactory assurance of a suitable provision for the support of the episcopate. In case a diocese shall be divided into two or more dioceses, the bishop of the dio- cese divided may choose the diocese to which he will be attached. In case a diocese shall be formed out of farts of two or more dioceses, each of the bishops and bishop-coadjutor of the sev- eral dioceses out of which the new diocese has been formed shall be entitled in the order of seniority and consecration to the choice. The general synod may accept the cession of a part of the territory of a dio- ccse, both a vote of two-thirds of all the bishops present and voting, and two-thirds of the house of deputies voting by dio- ceses. The articles referring to the qualifications for ordination and consecration, the book of common prayer and future amendments to the constitution contain no innovations. The Standard Bible. Canon 36 defines the standard Bible of the church, and says: “Until further orders be taken the Brit- ish-Oxford quarto edition of 1852 of the Holy Bible is recognized by this church a3 the standard of typography and punctua- ion.”
