But it ts no laughing matter and should be seriously considered with the view of rad- iczlly changing and improving it. The de- fects are so numerous that one hardly Knows where to begin to criticise. It is Safe to say, however, that under the sys- tem ef written lessons the parents are the Ones now being schooled and not the chil- dren, since the major portion of these les- Sons are either written out by the parents and copied by the children, or else dic. tated. Let me give you an example: My lit- tle child of seven years brought home yes- terday a list of words which he was re- Quired to embody in as many sentences. Among the word: the following: Floret,” “Cosmos, lyx,” “ray-floret”* and “petal How is & child of seven Years to perform such work when he or she cannot use a dictionary and can barely spell and read the simplest words and sen- tences?

A Splendid List of Events—Seme of the Best Riders Have Entered —Many Valuable Prizes. All details have been arranged for the bi- cycle meet to be held at Columbia Field, cerner 17th and C streets northwest, next ‘Wednesday aftcrnoon for the benefit of the Eugene Field monument fund A meeting of the press and citizens’ committees was held at the Riggs House Thursday evening, and all matters pertaining to the event were disposed of in a highly satisfactory manner to all concerned. A great deal of interest was displayed by the members of the two committees, and they reported that the enthusiasm displayed by the people of the city In the buying of tickets and lend- ing the meet every encouragement in their rower was most gratifying. The‘races will be started at 2 o'clock, and from the list of entries there is every rea- son to belfeve that the sport will be highly exciting and interesting. There has not heen a finer lot of entrants secured for any race held here this season, and some close finishes are looked for between the cracks who have signified their intention of com- reting for the prizes. The track is now in gocd condition, and by Wednesday next will have been fixed up in such an excellent manner as to make fast time possible. While the size of the track rather precludes any record-breaking time its quality will more than make up for this defect. Among the different events the most nota- ble probably will be the mile open, in which Fred Schade and Billy Sims are both en- tered, and the finish between these two riders should be close and exciting enough to gratify any lover of sport. Another ex- citing race will be the one-mile tandem, in which Smith and Greer will be pitted against Sims and Schade. All of the promi- nent riders of the city have entered, and the number has more than come up to the expectations of those who have the meet in charge. Mr. Sam Stinemetz has had the handling of the entries, and it is his opin- ion that a finer lot has never been received in the District for any meet. Events and Entries.

The patron- age of the meet among society people has been gratifyingly generous, and members of Congress, of the cabinet, Supreme Court and of the diplomatic corps, as well as oth- er well-known society personages, have come forward and tendered their services to make the meet a complete success. ee McKINLEY'S VICTORY. ood Patronage Expected. It Will Be Celebrated by Local Ree publican Clubs. Mr. A. M. Clapp, chairman of the special committee appointed by the National Union Republican Club to make arrangements for the celebration of McKinley and Hobart’s electicn, has addressed invitations to all the other republican clubs in the District, asking therm to appoint committees to co- operate in arranging the prelimiraries for the occasion. As soon as replies are re- ceived a joint meeting will be called and measures taken to make the demonstration of a character in keeping with the import- ance of the event to be celebrated. —_>__ Board of Trade Annual Meeting. The annual meeting of the Washington board of trade, which is to be held next Monday evening, promises to be one of the most interesting in the history of this useful organization. For this Teason, as well as because of the importance of the position occupied in the community by the board of trade it 1s hoped that the attena- ance will be unusually large. The reports of the president, secretary and treasurer will be presented. That of the president will doubtless be a valuable paper, as it will contain a resume of the board's work during the past year. Ten directors will also be elected to serve for the three en- suing years. Following the business meet- ing a buffet lunch will be served, when the members will have the opportunity to meet each other and talk over the affairs of the board in a social way.

Eggs Unusually Scarce and Higher— ee Butter Lower. The feature of the local wholesale pro- duce market today is the sharp advance in eggs, their price having advanced two or three cents @ dozen since last week. They are unusually scarce, and indications of a still further rise are not lacking. Butter, on the other hand, has fallen somewhat in the top grades, the lower grades being dull. Cheese remaina as last quoted, and poultry shows little change. The same can be said of game, while vegetables and fruits show up practically as they did last week. Beef and other meats show only the slight changes noted from week to week. The market continues to be a well-supplied one, a firm, healthy tone prevailing. Butter is quite firm in the top grades, al- though prices have declined slightly. The supply of strictly fresh goods is rather limited, more so than for some time past, so that there is no difficulty in obtaining top prices, which have dropped about a cent and a half a pound. Lower grades are dull, while imitation creamery 1s quite steady. Today's prices: Vlgin extras, 20% cents a pound; choice, 20; firsts, 18; se onds, 17; bakers’ choice stock, 13 to 1 New York tubs, 17; dairy print, 16; west> ern, 14; Maryland and Virginia creamery, 18: dairy packed, 14. Eggs have not been so scarce for many months, and if it were not for the large amount of storage goods on the market prices would not be far from 30 cents. Strictly fresh goods are practically impos- sible to obtain, and when they are obtain- able they sell at fancy prices. They have not only advanced, but the tendency is still upward, as may be seen from the fol- lowing quotations: Nearby fresh, 20 to 21 cents a dozen; western, 20 cents, and south- ern, 19 cents. Cheese remains unchanged, prices being as last reported: Full cream, large, 11 cents a pound; flats, 12, and ponys, J2. While there is a good demand for youl- try, the supply is not heavy, prices being practicaliy those of last week: Live tur- keys, 10 to 11 cents per pound; live, small, 6 to 8 cents per pound; chickens, undrawn, 9 to 10 cents per pound; live, 7 cents per pound; spring, large, live, 7 cents per pound; old fowls, undrawn, 8 to 8% cents ber pound; live, 6 to 7 cents per pound; roosters, live, 4 cents per pound; ducks, dressed, 8 to 10 cents per pound; live, large, old, 9 cents per pound; live, spring, young, 9 cents per pound; geese, live, 6 to 7 cents per pound. Game is abundant and prices are un- changed: Venison, saddle, 18 to 20 cents per pound; whole deer, bucks, 8 to 10 cents per pound; pheasants, 40 to 50 cents; rab- bits, $1 to $1.80 per dozen; quail, $1.50 to $2.25; wild turkeys, 9 to 10 cents per pound; woodcock, 40 to 50 cents each. The supply of vegetables and fruits con- tinues large, although prices are practical- ly those last quoted: Cauliflower, per bar- Tel, $2.50 to $3; celery, fancy, per dozen, 50 to cents; medium, per dozen, 25 to 40 cents; common, per dozen, 15 to 20 cents; lettuce, per barrel, $1.50 ‘to $2; potatoes, fancy, new, per barrel, $1 to $1.25; choice, per barrel, $1; new, per bushel, cents; culls, per barrel, 40 New York, per bushel, 35 to : land and Virginia, bushel, > cents; culls, per bushel, 20 to 25 cents; sweet po- tatdes, red, per barrel, 7% cents; eastern shore, barrel, 7 cents; common, 40 to 60 cents; yams and haymons, barrel, 50 to 60 cents; beets, per 100 bunches, $1.50 to $2.50; cabbage, per 100, $3 to $4.50; new, per bar- rel, 40 cents; onions, Bermuda, per crate, $1.40 to $1.50;-yellow, per barrel, $1.05 to 31.10; yellow, new, per bushel, 40 to 45 cents; beans, white, New York medium: $1.25; New York pea, $1.25; marrow, $1.45; Virginia, white, 75 cents; white, mixed, 50 cents; colored, ™) to G0 cents; black-eyed peas, per bushel, 9 cents to $1; apples, fancy, table, $1.75 to $2 per barrel; choice, $1.25 to $1.75 per barrel; oranges, California, fancy, bright, $4 to $4.50 per box; Messina, $3.50 to $5 per box; Valencia, $3 to $3.50 per case; lemons, Sicily, $3 to $) per box; cran- berries, $1.50 to $2 per box; Jersey, $ to $5.50 per barrel; Cape Cod, $5.50) to $6 per barrel; grapes, Catawba, 8 to 9 cents f-lb. basket; Concord, 13 to 14 cents 10-Ib. bask et; Concord, 7 to 71-2 cents 5-lb. basket; Delaware, 12 to 14 cents 5-lb. basket; Mar- tha’s, 12 to 14 cents ib. basket.

The annual flower show of A. Gude & Bro., for which they leased the large bul!d- ing adjoining their store, at 1226 F street, ig attracting wide attention. Many ex- tremely rare plants, chrysanthemums and roses abound. A novelty is the Lapageria rose, a product of Chile, and very rare in this climate. An attractive feature of the show is a Gecorated banquet table, set with twenty covers, ready for the first course. In the center of the table is a lake of real water with live gold fish and floating swans. The exhibit will be continued all next week. —_.—__ Everything is Cheaper.

It waa in- stituted in 1186 by Queen Sibylla, the wife of King Guy of Jerusalem: The jewel of the order ‘consists of the Cross of Jerusalem in blue enamel. He- tween the four points of the cross are four smaller crosses in silver, while in the cen- ter are the arms of the royal house of Lusignan. The jewel is surmounted by a silver crown, and is worn upon the left breast, suspended from a blue ribbon with white borders. Prince Guy de Lusignan, the siver cf this decoration, is also hereditary Prince of Jerusalem, Cypress and Armenia, and be- longs to one of the oldest and sost aristo- cratic families in France. He.is descended from the last king of the three above men- tioned countries. One of his ancestors, like- wise named Guy, became King of Jeru- salem and Armenia in 1186 by his marriage with Sibylla, the daughter of the former king. ‘This Sibylla was the founder of the Order of Melusine. In 1187 King Guy was ccfeat- ed by Saladin in the battle of Tiberias, and several years later retired to the island of Cypress, where he reigned for two years. His descendants ruled the island for nearly three hundred years, when it was sold to the Venetians by Catherine Carnaro. From that time on the Lusignans have been scat- tered in various parts of the east. In the earlier part of this century they were recog- nized by Russia as being the rightful de- scendants of the last King of Armenta. Prince Guy, the present head of the royal house of Lusignan, was born in Constan- tinople in 1834, and received his cducation in Venice and Paris. The prince was for some years at the head of the Armenian schools in Paris, but he resigned to deyote more of his time to the study of oriental languages, in which line he has given much valuable information to the scientitic At present he fs living in Paris, eng literary work. His wife was the Princess Marie de Goupil, who died some years ago. His brother, the late Prince Khorene, was at the head of the Armenian Church, and was one of the representaives to the Ber- lin conference of 1878. —— Virginia Hot Springs. The fall season at the Virginia Hot Springs has been a very successful one. The “New Homestead,” which has been and is now well filled, will remain open all win- ter. The location of the springs, 2,500 feet elevation—its easy access from New York and Washington—its bracing and delightful climate—the curative qualities of the nat- ural hot waters, the. superior: accommoda- tions, and the golf links, all combine to render ft a very attractive and desirable resort.
