The features of the local wholesale pro- duce market today are the advance in but- ter and poultry and the fall in eggs. In butter the prices have advanced about a cent a pound throughout, and it is not un- likely that they may advance still further, but only slightly, it is thought. Eggs are a glut on the market, although prices are about as low as they will be. Poultry has advanced not a little, turkeys being partic- ularly scarce. Cheese shows practically no change, and the sam can be said of game. Vegetables are about as last quoted, as Is the case with beef and other. meats. The market continues to be a splendidly sup- plied one, and its tone is firm and healthy throughout. Butter is unusually firm today, the de- mand being good, and special grades bring- ing slight premiums. There is a general cleaning up of the market by consumers on top grades, and little more attention is be- ing given to grades below fancy. Storage goods are doing somewhat better than of late, and the higher prices of today are not unlikely to slightly advance and hold. The prices prevailing today are: Fancy Elgin and other western extras, 23 cents a pound; choice, 21; firsts, 20; seconds, 16. Choice bakers’ stock, 14 to 15; New York tubs, 16; dairy print, 19; western, 10 to 15; Maryland and Virginia creamery, 18; dairy packed, 16. Cheese remains in price and condition of the market as last reported, as may be seen from the following prices: New York state cream, large, 11 1-2 cents a pound; flats, 12 1-2, and ponys, 14. Eggs are still lower today, because of quite a glut of them on the market, al- thougn they are about as low today as they are likely to be for some time. The market is, therefore, rather weak. Today's prices: Near by fresh, 12 to 12 1-2 cents a dozen; western, 11 to 12; southern, 10 to 11, and keat or guinea stock, 4 to 5. Poultry shows quite an advance, turkeys being scarce, and there being a large de- mand for all live poultry. The following prices are observed: Drawn turkeys, 16 to 17 cents a pound; live, 10 to 13; live chick- ens, 10 to 14; dress2d, 12 to 16; old stock, dressed, 10; live, 7; capons, 16 to 18; ducks, 12 to 13, and geese, 6 to 9. Fy The market for game is about closed out because of the warm weather and advanced season, the prices today being bear, saddle, 10; pheasants, 50; rabbits, per dozen, $1.25 to $2; quail, $1.25 to $2.50; wild turkeys, per pound, 10 to 12; woodcock, each 25 to 40. Prices for vegetables and fruits remain about as last quoted, with little change in the condition of the market. Cabbages, $5 to $10 per hundred; potatoes, 15 to 35 cents a bushel; sweet potatoes, red, $3 to $3.50 a barrel; eastern shore sweet potatoes, $2.50 to $3 a barrel; yams and haymons, $2 to $3 a barrel; beets, $1 to $2.50 a hundred bunch- es; yellow onions, $1 to $2 a barrel; kale, 73 cents a barrel; spinach, $8 to $3.50 a karrel; lettuce, $4 to $5 a barrel; carrots, $3.50 to $4 a barrel; strawberries, 40 to 70 cents a quart; cauliflower, $4 to $3 a barrel; turnips, $1 to $1.50 a barrel; Virginia white beans, $1 to $1.50; black-eyed 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 California oranges, $4 to $4.50 a box; Messina, $3 to $5; Valencia, $3 to $3.50; lemons, $5 to $7 a box. Prices in beef and other meats exhibit practically no change in price, the follow- ing quotations prevailing: Live cattle from 2 to 4 7-8 cents a pound; lambs, 4 to bts; sheep, 2 to 4; cows, with calves, $25 to $50; calves, 5 to 7 cents a pound, and dressed hogs, 4 to 7. —— A New Court Rule. The Court in General Term today made the following amendment to the rules of the District Supreme Court: “Ordered, this 29th of February, A.D, 1896, that the following rule, being part of equity rule No. 65, be held applicable to common law cases, viz.: “General rule of practice.—Where the tes- timor y of non-resigent witnesses is desired by either party, the court in term time, or any justice in vacation, may, on motion, designating the names of such witnesses, appoint an examiner to take such testi- mony, to whom the clerk shall issue commission under the seal of the court; and said testimony shall be taken on writ- ten intenrogatories and cross-interroga- tories, which written interrogatories shall be filed in the clerk’s office at least ten days before the issue of such commission; so that the adverse party may have op- portunity to file cross-interrogatories. But the court or justice, for special cause shown, may direct that such testimony may be taken orally. i : ——— —— Marriage Licenses. 4 A marriage license was issued today, to Edward Sweenty and Mary Brough, toth COMMENCEMENT DAY Interesting Exercises at the Indian ~ School GALA DAYS AT OLD CARLISLE A Graduating Class of More Than “a Score. CLEVERBOYS A NDGIRLS There was a-notable gathering at Car- lUsle, Pa., at the Indian Industrial Schcol this week. The occasion that brought to- gether the most distinguished lot of guests that ever enjoyed the hospitality of Capt. and Mrs. Pratt was the seventeenth annual commencement.exercises of the Indian In- dustrial School. Large partiés came to the resarvation from New York, Philadelphia, Washington and Harrisburg on special trains. Governor Hastings and Staff, with wives, daughters and friends, in a party of nearly fifty, came from Harrisburg early Thursday morning and returned that night. The Washington party consisted of Dr. Harris, commissioner of education; General Eaton, ex-commis- sioner of education, and Mrs. Eaton; Rev. Sheldon Jackson, Alaskan commissioner of education, and Miss Jackson; Dr. and Mrs. Teunis Hamlin, Senator Knute Nelson of Minnesota and Mrs. Nelson; Miss Teller, daughter of Senator Teller; James R. Sher- man of New York, chairman of the com- mittee on Indian affairs of the House; Rep- resentative and Mrs. White of Illinols, Rep- Tesentative and Mrs. Wilson of Ohio, Rep- resentative and Mrs. I. F. Fisher of New York, Representative Maddox of Georgia and Miss Maddox, Representative George C. Pendleton of Texas, W. M. Griffith, secre- tary of the House committee of Indian af- fairs, and Mrs. Griffith; Samuel Slater, chief of the finance division, and Miss Slater; Dr. Wooster, Captain Dortch, chief of the edu- cational division of Indian affairs; Secre- tary Hamilton of the same division, Miss Wilbour, Mrs. Jennie Brown, Captain Mc- Kennon and Mr. Cabaras of the Cherokee commission, Indian Agent Frank Tillon of Crow Creek, S. D.; Superintendent J. Me- Coin of Albuquerque, N. M.; Mr. Cox, Mr. Board and Mr, R. V. Belt, ex-assistant com- missioner of Indian affairs. Among the other distinguished guests on the Washington train were Maj. Gen. O. O. Howard, Dr. James McAlister, president of Drexel Institute of Philadelphia, and Mrs. McAlister; Prof. William J. Fisher, Dr. and Mrs. James Lippincott, Chaplain McCabe ond Mrs. McCabe, Col. William G. Church, Capt. John G. Bourke, United States army; Dr. and Mrs. Welsh of the Bloomsburg Nor- mal Schcol, James B. Wasson and Gen. Fitz- hugh Lee of Lynchburg. - Gala Days. Commencement exercises at Carlisle usu- ally last most of a week, but the great day: —the real gala days—are Wednesday and Thursday. On Wednesday there is general inspection of the shops and farm, the do- mestic sciences and the printing offices, and the afternoon is given over to the athletic exhibitions in the gymnasium. The uniform dress of the girls is blue flannel, but they may buy other materials with their own pocket money. They spend half the day in school and the other half in learning some domestic accomplishment. In turn they learn all the housewifely ac- complishments from beginning to end, and become proficient in all that pertains to the management of a home, just as the boys do on the outside, in learning to manage a farm, the sowing, cultivating and garnering of crops of all kinds, as well as the useful trades. Another pretty sight in the sewing room was the cluster of little bits of girls off in one corner, busy at darning stockings. The first work the children do with the needle is to learn to darn. They take those stockings, with their great, gaping hol and reduce themeto a good sound patr,with the neatest of stitches and the most’ per- fect work. Capt. Pratt makes much of the indus- trial training of his pupils. He argues that a good groundwork in the elementary branches of learning is quite sufficient for the average Indian child, as it is for the white one, and that the present necessity in the civilization of the Indian is an in- dustrial training that will enable him to till his broad acres on the reservation, to shoe his own horses, to manufacture and to mend his own farm utensils, and to make him generally self-sustaining, just as the great industrial schools in the large cities are managed for the instruction of the pauper waifs, who must else become drift on the sea of life, endangering all Sood crafts that come their way. The proof that the idea is an excellent one ts the fact that the Indian boys and girls trained at Carlisle are in demand far beyond the supply for the farms and homes in Pennsylvania and the neighboring staies. The Indian boys make splendid farm hands after a year or two of training on the in- dustrial farm, and the girls are neat, swift, patient and respectful servants. They command better wages than white help in most instances, because they are better trained and are more respectful and better dispositioned. A Helpful Pian. These “outings,” as they are called, are of great benefit to the pupils of Carlisle, for it gives them insight into the world and a change from the routine of school life, as well as being healthful and en- couraging to them in a monetary w: They are very careful of their earnings, and quite often place them in the bank ¢f the school. The pupils of the school have an aggregate sum of nearly $1140 at in terest now, and in the school of over 70) there are some 550 depositors in the school bank. The banker of the school is Miss Luc enbach, and a valuable factor in the insti- tution is Miss Ely, the superintendent of the outing system. Her chief business is to look up good homes for the children for the summer, and to place them after they have finished school. One of the pet hob- bies of Capt. Pratt is to keep the children from returning to the reservation life. Another feature of the education at Carlisle is the printing office. Two papers are issued, a small bright four-page weekly, called the “Indian Helper.” The other is a more ambitious sheet of eight pages, and is called “The Red Man.” Both these papers are under the efficient ma agement of Miss Burgess, a thoroughl: practical printer and a bright, energetic woman. The exercises of Wednesday afternoon were all in the gymnasium, to which a handsome large addition has been added this last year. The room will seat two thousand people in the galleries and on the floor, but only the galleries qould be used, because the whole floor space was taken up with the athletic exercises. Wednesday evening was given over to addresees in the chapel by the guests. Among them were Gen. O. O. Howard, and Gen. Fitzhugh Lee, and Mr. Sherman. There was a speech from an old Indian, who is thoroughly Christianized and a preacher, and another by Antonio Apache, the hardsome son of old Juan, one of Co- chise’s subchiefs. Antonio was taken away from the Apache reservation when only seven, and has been making his way ever since. Another Indian representative of the press was Miss Price, who was edu- cated at Carlisle, and is now in the busi- ness department of a Chicago paper. She was reporting at Carlisle, and having a delightful visit with her old schoolmates. ‘Then there were speeches by other guests, an Chaplain McCabe sang. - --~ Commencement Day. Thursday morning was spent in visiting the school rooms and the art department. In the school rooms the classes were re- citing, and the visitors were asked to cate- chise the children. . In. the afternoon the commencement ex- ercises preper took place in the gymna- sium, which had nearly three thousand peo- ple crowded into it. On the platform were ‘seated Gov. Hastings and his staff, and all the noted guests, and the graduating class, five girls and twenty boys, were ai below. The distinguished guests said a say in a thorougaly charming manner. ‘The. speakers of the graduating «laes were clever and rose to a height of eloquence that made Gen.

It is a different thing from recognizing the inde- pendence of the Cubans. “The recognition of belligerent rights is merely the declaration of our opinion that the insurgents have established a stable government, and are entitled to all the rights of war. This what was done by Great Britain during our late war. “Such a recognition, however, would not relieve the United States of its obligations toward Spain in the way of preventing the sending out of privateers or filibustering expeditions in ald of the insurgents from our ports. We established this proposition in the Alabama arbitration against Great Britain. “Furthermore, such recognition of a state of war between Spain and the insurgents in Cuba would give Spain the right to search our merchant vessels for goods contraband of war. This is the only respect in which our relations with Spain would be particu- jarly altered by such recognition, as far as I can see.” At the Junta. At the Cuban junta General Palma was besieged by callers, and it was understood that he is preparing an address to all sym- pathizers with the cause of Cuban freedom, to be issued upon the final passage of the resolution. He said the steamer Bermuda would be released in a few days. United States District Attorney Macfar- lane has filed a libel in the United States cireuit court against the lightef J. S. T. Stranahan, upon which the arms and am- munition for the steamer Bermuda expedi- tion were loaded. A provess has been issued to the United States marshal, the writ being returnable March 17. The charges against the owners of the lighter are that she had no certificate allowing her to carry ex- plosives,that she was without special license for that purpose, and that the packages of explosives were not marked as such. The Cubans about the American head- quarters of the revolutionary party in New York awaited with evident interest the news from Washington of congressional action yesterday. All of them believed that the recognition of their compatriots as bellig- erents by this country fs sure to come, and they hoped that the resolutions eff: would be passed yesterday. In view of the recent onder of General Weyler giving t insurgents fifteen days in which to « military operations on the Island of Cuba, the final enactment of the resolution will be an occasion of great rejoicing among the Cubans. A mass meeting gtving expression to this feeling will be called as soon as the announcement is received. Sympathy with the Cuban cause is pronounced in New York. +o+——___ A TALL WHITE HAT.
