Not only are eggs lower today, but the same is true of butter, although the fall in price of either product is but small. Today eggs are selling at from 14 to 15 cents a dozen for nearby fresh goods, and fancy El- gin and other western extra butter has drop- ped from 23 cents a pound last week to 22 cents today. Despite the fall in the price of eggs, there is some complaint from retail purchasers that retail prices are not and have not been for some time consistent with wholesale prices, maiy retail dealers selling, it is claimed, at 25 cents a dozen. Cheese shows practically no change, either in price or condition, and none is expected for some time. Poultry is somewhat advanced, but slightly, due move, perhaps, to the bad roads resulting from the continued rains. The game market is as last reported, and the same can be seid of fruits and vegetables, and of beef and other meats as well. The market throughout fs a firm one, splendidly supplied, and reasonabiy active. Early in the week butter was somewhat demoralized, but only for a ever, and it is n rapidly, but the indications are that prices will shortly advance. The weak feeling here was due more to sympathy than to anything Ket in the west being rather the market here is already nd stiffer prices may be ex- pected. ime creamery holding its own, and lower grades are in sympathy with top ones. ‘The prices prevailing today are: y Elgin and other western ext a pound; choice, 20; fir: stock, 1 dairy print, 19; i, quite firm, western, Maryland and Virginia creamery, ; dat to Is. of cheese, the t and prices remain- may be seen from am, large, ible for a further decline in the » of eggs, they being from one to two cents a dozen lower toflay than a week ago. The market is, however, well: sustained, and while the weather is exceedingly favor- able for production, tha demand is quite large. From 14 to 15 cents a dozen are asked for nearby fresh goods, 13 to 14 for 12 to 13 for southern, and 5 to 7 iner goo. ket Is firm and active, while price de higher, as may be een from the following quotations: Drawn . from 13 to 14 cents a pound; live, e chickens, 8 to 10; dressed, 10 to old stock, dressed, 8 to 10; live, 5 to 7; 16 to 18; ducks, 10 to 12, and geese, condition of the game is obser the following prices prevailing: Bear, saddle, 10; pheasants, 50; rabbits, per dozen, $1.25 to $2; qu t $2.59; wild turkeys, per pound, 2; woodeock, each, 25 to 40. The supply of fruits and vegetables is large, and of an excellent quality, and the 10 market is firm and active, with little, if any, change in price: Cabbage: to $10 per hundred; potatoes, 15 to 35 cents a Sweet potatoes, red, 2 to $8.a har- ions. $2 to $2.50 a barrel; hundred bunche: yellow onions, $1 to $2 a barrel; kale, cents a barrel; spinach, $3 to $3.50 a barrel lettuce, $3 to 4 a barrel; carro! a batrel; cauliflower, $4 to nips, 6) to 65 cents a barrel beans, $1 to $1.5 peas, 75 cents to $1 a bushel; celery, 25 to 75 cents a dozen Florida tomatoes, $8 to $4 a crate; fancy table apples, $2 to $3.50 a barrel; fancy Cali- fornia oranges, $1 to $4.50 a box; Messina; $8 to $; Valencia, $3 to $3.50; lemons, $5 to $7 a box. There is no real change In the price of beef and other meats, as may be seen from the following: Live cattie selling at from 2 to 43-8 cents a pound; lambs, 4 to 5%; sheep, 3 to 3%; cows with calves, $25 to $50; calves, 5H) to $E a barrel; tur- rginia white several years in superstition, It CONGREGATIONAL h and .

Basins Made Three Thousand Years Ago. Splendid Collection of Ancicnt Glass; ware Dug Up at Sidon and Brought te This Country. Among the winter residents of Washing- ton this season Is Dr. A. J. Arbeely, editor of the Arabian paper, ‘“‘Kawkab America,” published in New York city. Dr. Arbeely is a native of Syria, his father, Prof. Ar- beely, being prominent in the work which was done by Vandyke, Thompson and 0: American missionaries, who, In the half of this century, made their homes in the east, and there laid the foundations of the great work in educating and evangeliz- ing, which has now assumed proportions large enough to become the subject of in- ternational complications, When he and his father came to America, in 1876, they were the first Syrians to make their “home here. Now there are thousands of them lo- cated in »lmos state the Union, rst The paper which Dr. Arbeely edits is printed in the Arabic, whose quaint char- acters little suggest any intelligible rela- tlon to our own alphabet. Its circulation includes readers of the Arab tongue in all parts of the world. By a mandate of the sultan, this paper is the only one aliowed to circulate in his empire, It, is conserva- tive in its editorial tone,and allies itself upon the side of. Christian progress, with- out taking an attitude of hostility to the Turkish government. — 0: Found in sidor: Dr. Arbeely’s mission in Washington at present is to submit to the examination of the authorities of the Smithsonian Instl- tution what is probably the largest collec- tion of ancient Phoenician, glass ware which has ever been brought from the east. By a thost singular condition of things this collection is likely ?o remain in the United States. When, a few years ago, the xcavations were undertaken at Sidon, which brought to light some,of the most beautiful specimens of ancient glass, [t aroused a good deal of, contention and caused some bloodshed, - until finally the sultan, two years ago, by an edict, abso- lutely prohibited the removal of any of this glass. This was not done, however, until the collection which has been intrusted to Dr. Arbeely was brought to this country. ‘Thus it is that it is likely to remain here. I it were taken back it.would be confis- cated by the sultan. There are about sixty specimens in the collection, and the ordinary observer, when he sees it for the first time, wonders if there ts anything rew under the sun. This glass is not less than 3,000 years old, Jn all probability, yet in form, color and delicacy of manufacture it rivals much that Js done in these days. The Phden!cians, who were the early navigators of the east, and like- wise the first great facturing nation on the earth, evidently possessed “a knowl— edge of the art of glass-blowing, molding and shaping, and also the finer art of dec- orating by means of color. Some of these Specimens would seem to indicate that they made use of the lathe. A Lost Art. Wher Wendell Philips, in his eloquence, paid a tribute to the Phoenicians and their lost arts, he had not seen such a collec- | tion of wonderful glassware, but if he had it would surely have justified all his splen- did superlatives and tempted him to the use of even more magnificent praise. The greater number of pieces were made without effort at coloring, and appear in the natural condition which the glass took under the manipulation of the human be- ing whose body many centuries ago crum- bied to dust. Most of them are iridescent, no two allke, however, some being pre- vailingly blue, some purple, some green. As they are turned in the light their beau- ty is indescribable. Some of the pieces are stained solidly purple. On some there are decorative green bands. Others are opa- lescent and at the same time transparent. There are several most beautiful plates and basirs of glass, the largest being a foot in diameter and weighing hardly more than an ounce. The extreme lightness of all these pieces of glassware is simply phe- nomenal. All are intact, and it is to be presumed that they possess some quality of ductility and toughness unknown to the modern glassblower. The vses fcr which these various pleces of glass were made can only be conjec- tured. There are many which are known to be tear bottles, the custom being for the relatives of the dying person to shed tears in these bottles, which were then interred with the remains of the departed. Some of the vases are eight inches long, most grace- ful'and beautiful in form and decorated in a manner which ts not excelled even in these times. Some of the picces seem to be flat flasks, very much resembling in shape the little spirit flasks ‘used nowadays. Oth- ers are vases, with long and slender necks, and sometimes with reservoirs six to eight inches in dianeter. The greater part of the collection, however, consists of small pieces from three to four inches in height and from an inch to an inch and a half in di- ameter. —_—_— ___ THE NATIONAL FENCIBLES. They Will Parnde Washington's Birthday—Prepnrations for the Fair. On invitation of the National Rifles, the National Fencibles have decided to parade with the latter organization and the Old Guard February 22, in honor of Washing- ton’s birthday. The Rifles have generously tendered the use of an equipment of rifles and also their drill hall for practice work. The band of the National Rifles, thirty pieces, will head the parade. Captain Domer has issued an order for the Fencibles to assemble at the Rifles’ Armory in fatigue uniform Tuesday evening, Feb- ruary 18. This will be the first time the company will have appeared under arms since last summer. The Fencibles will pa- rade on Washington's birthday in their full dress uniforms, and it is expected that sixty men will be in line. The ladies who are to assist at the Fen- cibles’ fair held a largely attended meeting last evening, when the heads of the various sections were assigned as follows: Flower bower, Mrs. C. A. Fletcher; confectionery, Mrs. L. J. Barber; punch and lemonade, Mr: Johann Kondrup; smokers’ Mecca, Mrs. F. Harper; tea garden, Mrs. Whittingto 1efreshments, Mrs. M. E. Shepley; pop corn, Mrs. F. R. Rynex; ‘The Wonder,” Mrs. Mor- sell; “The Leap Year,’ Miss Estelle Man- ring; fancy articles, Mrs. Coombs; miscel- laneous, Mrs. Howard Cook; ornamental pa- per, Mrs. Breuninger. Lieut. W. W. Mortimer will be in charge of the fair paper, which is to be issued nightly as @ feature of the enterprise. Mr. J. G, Stelle has been named as business man- ager. Each purchaser of a season ticket to tke fair will have a chance to gectire pos- session of a valuable horse, several bicycies and other articles. The donations so far received have ‘surpassed expectations and such generous response attests the contin- ved high popularity of the company. The full quota of invitations to the an- rual ball of the company, which occurs Thursday evening next in Netional Rifles’ Armory, has been issued and therefore no more can be secured.

To the Editor of The Evening Star: The Star ycsterday informed its readers of a star chamber session in Commissioner Pewell's private office in the interest of the schemers for the use of L street north- west for a belt line extension, or rather for the extension of the proposed trolley line from Baltimore into the heart of the northwest section. There is no public de- mand for the occupation of additional “cross-town” streets for street railroads. The purpose is to atandon unprofitable ter- ritory south of the avenue and pre-empt fresh and better reutes. ‘The attitude of the Commissioners is beyond cur comprehension. They deliber- ately propose to give up one of the narrow- est streets in the city, along which is laid one of the largest water mains, at a great cepth in some sections and near the sur- face in others. It goes without saying that repairs on a water main, with street car tracks nearly over it, will be much more ccetly than would otherwise be the case. And the big L street main has a way of needing frequent repairs. Besides, there is another main on the street, westward from 11th, directly in the middle of the roadway, which would have to be taken up and relaid near the cur And also, if the street is given up to a double track road, as proposed, room will have to be subsequently made for the house- holders an@ general public by widening the roadway, as has just been done with G street, zt the public expense. Such widen- ing on L street will necessitate the cut- ting down of the trees on both sides, the terraces and parking, the relaying of side- walks and, in many cases of individual house owners, the tearing away of flights of stone steps and changing the entrances to the English basement style. And the Commissioners singutsrly fail to recom- mend that the public and private owners should be relieved from the burden of ex- pense to be incurred, be it remembered, not in obedience to an overwhelming publte demand and for the greatest good to the greatest number, but simply because Messrs. Schoepf & Co. know a good thing when they see it, and are in_ the habit of asking for and getting it. CITIZEN. sora eee Proof Positive. From Puck. ‘Are the English really so very slow?” “Slow?
