The condition of the local wholesale pro- duce market today is for the most part what it was a week ago. Eggs, however, have ad- vanced even beyond the point anticipated, and are today selling at 22 cents a dozen, fine fresh stock being exceedingly scarce. Butter is quite firm, and in that fine goods are difficult to obtain. Poultry shows but little change, and because of the continued warm weather dressed goods are unsatisfac- tery in the majority of instances. No changes are to be observed in game, and in vegetables the same may be said. Beef and other meats, too, remain as about last quoted. Nevertheless, the market is firm throughout, being a well-supplied one, and the tone being a rather healthy one. Butter is very firm today, and prices re- main as last stated. There is a great amount of inferior goods to be found, the warm, murky weather being responsible therefor to a great degree. Hence, the difficulty experi- enced in obtaining fine goods last week con- tirues, and June creamery commands great respect. The lower grades are also steady because of the scarcity of fine goods. Today the prices are as follows: Fancy Elgin and other western extras, 24 cents a pound. Choice, 23; firsts, 22; seconds, 18. Choice bakers’ stock, 12% to 15; New York tubs, 18 to 21; dairy print, 16 to 18; western, 10 to 15; Maryland and Virginia creamery, 16 to 20; dairy packed, 13 to 16. Really little, if any, change is to be noted in cheese, the conditions and prices being as reported last wéek, the prices today being: New York state full cream, large, bring 11% cents a pound; flats, 124% to 13, and ponys, 14. Fine, fresh eggs today are practically im- ossible to obtain, and they command really ‘ancy prices. There are, however, large quantities of-iced goods on sale, which are in many instances being sold for nearby fresh. For fine fresh goods 22 cents a dozen are be- ing asked today, and 19 to 20 for storage sitcck. From 18 to 20 are asked for western and southern fresh, and 9 to 10 for keat and guinea stock. Live poultry is quite plentiful, and dressed Ss really more so than the weather war- rants. Prices are practically unchanged Drawn turkeys from 10 to 12 cents a pound; live, 9 to 11; live spring chickens, 8 to 10; dressed, 8 to 12; old stock, 6 to &; ducks, 9 to 11, and geese, 6 to 8. Game continues plentiful, with prices as they were a week ago. Venison, saddle, per pound, 15 to 18; whole deer, bucks, 6 to 10; bear, saddle, 10 pheasants, 40 to 50; rabbits, per dozen, $1 to $2; quall, $1.75 to $3; wild turkeys, per pound, 10 to 12; woodcock, each, 25 to 40. Vegetables are to be had in large quantities and at the prices prevailing last Saturday. Cabbage, $1.50 to $3 per hundred; new pota; toes, 75 cents to $1.50 a barrel; sweet pota- toes, red, $1 to $1.50 a barrel; eastern shor2 sweet potatoes, $1.50 to $2 a barrel; yams and haymons, $1 to $1.50 a barrel; beets, $1 to $2.50 a hundred bunches; yellow onions, $1.50 to $2 a barrel; turnips, 60 to 65 cents a barrel; Virginia white beans, $1 to $1.50; black-eyed peas, 50 cents to $1 a bushel; lima beans, 4 to G cents a quart; tomatoes, 3 cents to $1.50 a crate; fancy table apples, 2 to $$.a basrel; fancy California oranges, $2.50 to $3 a_box; Messina, $2 to $2.50; Vaten- cia, $3 to $3.50; lemons, $5 to $7 a box; grapes, 10 to 15 cents a ten-pound basket; chestnuts, 4 to 6 cents a pound. Beef and other meats remain as about last quoted, Live cattle, 2 to 4 cents a pound; lambs, 3 to 4, and sheep, 2 to 2%; cows with calves, $20 to $45; calves, 3 to 6% cents a Found; dressed hogs, 5 to 7. = CAPTURED THE CLUB HOUSE. Meeting of the Ladies Interested in the C A. C. Carnival. Feminine bosoms all over Washington are swelling with pleasure over long- continued curiosity at last satisfied.

An amusing incident occurred yesterday during the busiest portion of the session of the Probate Court. The office of the register of wills, where the court is held every Fri- day morning, was well filled, when a well- known F street business man entered and teok a position in the rear of the room. While awaiting his turn to secure recogni- tion from the court the newcomer took oc- casion to state to a friend that Judge Hag- ner is by far the most capable, just and courteous member of the District Supreme bench. ‘These remarks were audible to many in the room, and the man from F street became so earnest in his commendation of Judge Hagner that he forgot to remove his hat from his head. Now, appearing in court with one’s hat on is universally considered an extended form of contempt, and Judge Hagner was not slow to recognize the same. Looking up from a paper and fixing his gaze full upon the man who had been referring to him in such a complimentary way, the judge dryly suggested: “Won’t you hoist your umbrella and put on_your rubber shoes?” Everybody laughed, some rather loudly, especially those who had overheard the nice things said by the man addressed in speak- ing of the court. The fcrmer turned scarlet, hastily removed his hat and then sank into the nearest chair and kept very quiet until the time arrived for him to transact the business of his visit. 2 From the Farmer’s Standpoint. To the Editor of The Evening Star: In your news article of Thursday on the market trouble Maj. Powell, in answer to a suggestion of The Star reporter, says that “In his opinion very few of the ladies of Washington bought from the farmers.” Does he mean that the hundreds of ladies that throng B street every market day are not classed by him as ladies or that la- dies do not as a rule go to Center market? Is it possible that this one of the three wise men of the District building is tgnor- ant of the fact that thousands of ladies (in the truest sense) shop daily in Center mar- ket, and that the greater proportion step out on B street to see what the farmers have brought that morning that’s fresh and new? He not only shows a profound ignorance on the subject, but does the farmer a gross injustice in thus belittling his business, a business carried on under the most trying conditions, always fighting against destroying insects, had roads, bad crops, and 2 thousand petty annoyances unknown to the well-paid government ser- vant. If the majer would leave his nice warm office and visit Center market Sat- urday morring he might nieet many of his lady friends in the aisles, who would give him points as to the relations between dealers inside the market and farmers out- side. In the same connection he says that the “ladies of Washington buy their sup- plies from stores and hucksters. I pre- sume he speaks from a personal stand- point and that he draws his daily subsis- tence from the huckster’s wagon, stale fruit, culled vegetables, ripe fish, short measure, and all. How is it possible for the farmer to expect fair treatment from this official quarter? Heaven pity the poor farmer if he has to stand or fall before this judge, turned out in the street, rain and snow, to stand in a mud hole, a swamp. W. S. MORRIS, Tenleytown road. —___ Several Divorces. Judge Hagaer has signed a decree divorc- ing Mary E. Brown from Louis E. Brown. The suit was brought May 15 last, and in her bill of complaint the petitioner, whose maiden name was Mosely, stated that she was married to Mr. Brown May 27, 1884, and lived with him until April 5, 184. The charges made were to the effect that the husband was grossly and habitually intem- perate; that he was guilty of intolerable cruelty to his wife, endangering her life and health; that he repeatedly beat and bruised her; that he choked her, knocked her down, neglected to provide for ker necessary food and clothing and subjected her to a long course of most cruel and humiliating insults and annoyances. In addition to the divorce Mrs. Brown is given the custody of her only child, Florence M., and permission to resume her maiden rame. Judge Hagner has also divorced Agnes Johnson from William M. Johnson on the ground of desertion. The suit was filed July 8 last. The plaintiff is allowed to re- sume her maiden name of Shuey. A legal separation has also been ordered by Judge Hagner in the case brought by Fanny E. Grymes against Henry E. Grymes. The papers relating to this suit are with- held from publication, but it is understood puet the charges made embraced desertion alone. — The Woman's Relief Corps. Six of the nine corps of the Department of the Potomac, W. R. C., auxiliary to the Grand Army of the Republic, have had their inspection and enjoyed the meetings most thoroughly, At Lincoln Corps’ inspec- tion, which took place in their beautiful hall, every one of the one hundred and twenty-two members was present, besides many visitors. Sumner, O. P. Morton and Lurnside have been xamined,” and Potomac did very creditable work, too. It is conceded by all that the visitations and convening of presidents during the past year have been most beneficial to the order. Potomac and Farragut Relief Corps re- cently made announcement of their pro- gram in the “Festival of American Holl- day: to be presented in Willard Hal! during Thanksgiving week, and now Lin- coln Corps has come forward with a most attractive program. Lincoln Post, G. A. R. will co-operate with their auxiliary. No vember 29 will be their day. —__—_ For Divorce. George Armstead has filed a petition for divorce from Kate Armstead, whose maiden name was Hawkins. They were married July 21, 1890, and have one child, Bessie. now four years old. It is charged that about August 1 last, and at other times since then, Mrs. Armstead has committed adultery with Samuel Strivers. Therefore, the husband asks a legal separation and the custody of the child. ————— Legion of Loyal Women. Mrs. J. D.

Thompson, treasure: toast, ASKED TO BE SENT DOWN, A Man Who Told a Sad Story in Judge Kimb; Court. Just as Bailiff Kendig was about to an- nounce the adjournment of Judge Kimball's court yesterday afternoon a tall, comfort- ably dressed man, who had had a conversa- tion with Policeman Flynn at the door, ap- proached the judge’s bench and asked that the court send him down on the farm. The man gave his name as Henry Newton, and it developed that he had been in court be- fore. To Policeman Flynn he related the story of his troubles, and Judge Kimball, who had had dealings with him before, knew all about him. ‘I won't beg on the strects,” he told the Policeman, “and now that I have nothing I'll have to request that I be sent to the work house. Newton has been down several times be- fore. When he came here not long ago he had $5,000, but he was fond of horse races and most of his money went to the book- makers. When his money was all gone the race tracks offered no more attractions for him. He could go over the river and witness the Taces, but as he had no money to stake on the results, there was no life in the sport for him. Then, too, he was a sick man, and when he appeared in court he said he was more in need of medical treatment than he was of food. He related a part of his sad story to the judge, and when he had concluded Judge Kimball asked him: “How long a time do you want?” “Give me six months,” the dejected man answered; “I’m no good, anyhow.” He also requested that a note be sent to the authorities, directing that he be given medical treatment. Judge Kimball granted his request, and told him that if his condition improved and he felt that he would like to be released, he could get out by addressing the court a let- er. Newton thanked the court for the sen- tence imposed, and went down. ee AN ENDEAVORERS’ FEAST. Veterans of the Boston Campaign Si, Down at-a Bangnet. Sixty of the Christian Endeavorers who journeyed to the Boston convention last July gathered around the cheerful ban- quet board at Freund's last evening to re- count the pleasant experiences of the tri The table decorations of chrysanthemums did not long conceal the dainty dishes spread beneath, and after -the blessing had been ashed by Mr. W. H. H. Smith the bountiful menu was discussed amid pleas- ant conversation. When the material feast had been dis- posed of, Mr. Norman T. Elliott as toast- master opened the speechmaking of the evening. After his remarks, which were vigorously applauded, he introduced Mr. Miles M. Shand, who responded to the “The Beauties of the Hub.” Mr. Shand called to his assistance many clever anecdotes to illustrate his points. Miss Brockett gave a recitation most ef- fectively and was enthusiastically en- cored. r Mr. Percy S. Foster, who was named on the program as “assistant toast- master,” related some interesting experi- ences of the trip. Mr. John B. Sleman, jr., spoke of the many kindnesses of the young people of the Union Congregational Chureh and proposed thet a telegram of greeting be sent to them. This suggestion was unanimously approved. Mr. John D. Morgan sang an original song, in which he took occasion to relate some of the remarkable experiences of some of the party. told in a witty and en- Mr. H. C.

A Party to It Restrained From Going Into Business in Opposition. ‘The combination of wall paper manufac- turers, which was formed in 1802 with a capital of $38,000,000, secured a legal victory in New York yesterday, when Presiding Judge Van Brunt handed down an opinion against the defendants in the suit brought by the combination against Robert 8S. Hobbs & Co. The organization was formed by most of the prominent manufacturers in the wall paper business in the United States, and one of them was the defendant's firm, which had an extensive factory in Brooklyn. Under the agreement, all persons interested in the old factories contracted that they would not go into the wall paper business in the United States in opposition to the company. In January of this year Robert F. Hobbs, who was a partner with his father in the firm of Robert S. Hobbs & Co., built a fac- tory at Hoboken with his brother-in-law, Benton, and notified the company that he was about to leave his place as manager with them and go into the new factory. Upon this information the company began a suit for an injunction to restrain Hobbs from going into the business. Hobbs declared that the agreement was unlawful, as being in restraint of trade and part of a conspiracy to create a monopoly in wall paper, and also claimed that it was not his intention to become a partner in the new concern, but merely an employe, with a com- mission on the profits by way of salary. Judge Lawrence granted the injunction and Hobbs took an appeal. The general term sustains the court below. Judge Van Brunt, in his opinion, said that since the decision in the case of the Dia- mond Match Company agt. Rosher, such a contract could not be held to be illegal and in restraint of trade. Concerning the defendant’s allegation that the combination was corrupt, he said that Hobbs, with the fruits of the contract in his pocket, was not in a position to attack it on such grounds. Republicans Organize Another Club. The republicans of the old twentieth as- sembly district met last night at the house of George E. Lincoln, corner G and ist streets southwest, and organized a club. james BE. Stewart was elected president, William Clark vice president and John H. Carter secretary.
