A bronze statue of the late Blshop Mat: thew Simpson was unveiled and dedicated on Wednesday in the presence of about 0 ersons on the grounds of the Methodist Spis Home for the Aged, in Philadel- hia. The statue, which ls nine feet in eight, is mounted upon a granite pedestal of the same height. The statue is a part of a massive monument which had been de- termined upon in 1864 to commemorate the war of the rebellion.

IMMENSE PROFITS IN COLD STORAGE Bggs, Butter, Meats, Vegetables and Fruits Kept from Season to Se won and Sold When Signs Are Propitions. The struggle for the control of the eggs of the country has become the flercest in the whole range of farm products. Every corner of the western states ia being searched for eggs by agents for Swift & Co., Armour & Co. and a few smaller deal- ers who have capital enough to enable them to compete with these leaders of the provision world. The price which these firms are willing to pay is being pushed up day by day and the prospects of un- heard of high prices for cold storage eggs next fall and winter become stronger with every advance in the price pald to the farmers today, says the Chicago Record- Herald. One Chicago dealer who has been gladly paying 156% to 15% cents to farmers for eggs received word from two country rep- resentatives yesterday that Swift & Co. were bldding half a cent a dozen better and that this advance would have to be met it more eggs were wanted. Bwitt & Co. stole a march on Armour & Co. at the begioning of the egg storage season five weeks ago, according to the story among commission merchants and got a good start. Sixteen-cent eggs now means eggs at more than 20 cents next winter. The carrying changes in the cold storage warehouses range from a cent to a cent and a third a dozen for ordinary care until January 1. Speclal care to the eggs may bring the cost as high as 3 cents a dozen. To this must be added the profit to the speculator and the profit to the wholesale distributer and wholesale dealer. Despite every effort it is not belleved that over 500,000 cases of eggs will be ob- tained for storage in Chicago this year. The amount already put away is estimated at from 150,000 to 175,000, and the best weeks of the season are already over. There were stored 600,000 cases last year. Bach case has thirty dozen eggs, making a total of 18,000,000 dozen. They cost 11 or 12 cents a dozen, and sold at 19 and 20 cents and even more. The estimated average profit of 33% per cent would amount to close to $1,000,000—and that leaves warehouses outside of Chicago entirely out of considera- tion, Season of Aectivity. This particular season of the year is one at which eggs are going into cold storage and chickens are coming out. And for both eggs and chickens the prices that the con- sumer has to pay have been on the average higher this month than in any April in the past that commission merchants can re- member. The huge cold storage ware- houses stand as the most important factors in the provision market, conditions which are responsible for the present excessive prices. There is hardly any article of perishable food used on dinner tables in Chicago, whioh does not have its special corner in a cold storage warehouse. Hundreds of thousands of beef, sheep and plg carcasses are stored away in the freezers. Butter enough to spread all the bread In the country for day after day can be found frozen solid in the great warehouses. Pota- toes by thousands of car loads, celery, on- lons, cabbage and beans, apples and Call- fornia fruits of all kinds are to be found there. One of the most recent novelties in the way of egg storage is the method of fill- ing palls full of the whites and yolks and freezing the mass solld. At the Armour and Swift storage plants at the stockyards hundreds of men are busy breaking egszs into palls. As fast as the pails are filled they are carried into the freezing rooms, where they are kept until taken out in the fall and winter for the use of the Na- tional Biscult company, the independent bakerfes and the restaurants which need them In cooking on a large scale. Anybody who cares to estimate what im- mense profits the three firme of Armour, Swift and Priebe & Simeter have made on chickens this past year can get some idea of it from the estimate of the size of thelr Loldings made by independent South Water street merchants. These well informed men put the amount that the three firms now hold at 500,000 cases of about 100 pounds each, or 50,000,000 pounds. This is saying nothing at all of the stock already sold off. Brollers went into storage last epring at 8 and 9 cents a pound and found a ready le all winter at 18 to 20 cents. Roasters, which are chickens from three and one-half to five pounds, were bought up at the holl- day time at 6 and 7 cents a pound and were sold at 13 cents. If the average profit was 5 cents a pound after paying storage ex- penses the profit on even the amount of chickens still in storage would run into the million And the housewife and the father of the family pay it all Potatoes Are Favorites The Armour cold storage plant at the stockyards alone is capable of handling thirty-five carloads of potatoes. Potatoes are a favorite speculation for the big man- fpulators of produce and the latest market reports show them to have climbed above $1 a bushel, an unheard of price, When it comes to apples, the Armour ex- perts are in their element and do their best work, from an Individual commercial point of view. They make a descent upon & big Missour! orchard, for example, buy the crop just as it is on the trees from the owner, send In their own laborers to pick it, barrel It and ship it to the nearest available storage plant and then they awalt the profit that is sure to come. Last year the profits were especially large. In California fruits the cold storage busi- ness has been worked out with almost mathematical precision. The experts know exactly how long it is safe to leave each kind of frult in storage, considering the condition at the time it was picked. Rec- ords of each consignment are kept and the frult is put on the market at the best pos- sible moment considering this limitation of the time it will keep. The Western Cold Storage company in Chicago is said to be the largest in the country. It has a capacity of 5,000,000 cub'c feet, and, according to Rockwell King, pres- fdent of the company, this space is almost filled the year around. “We do a big busi- Dess,” he said, “and it 1s really a great boon to the general public. It is one of the best things for the laboring man that he has ever had. It has changed the market €0 that instead of paying 60 and 70 cents for ©gEs At certaln periods of the winter the workingman now buys them at a figure vearer 20 cents all through the winter months, which makes it possible for him to eat them when under former conditions be could not.* Niece of Henry Clay Wed Announcement is made in Paris, Ky., of the approaching ge_of Miss Sue Clay, daughter of Cassius Marcellus Clay, jr..

Thomas, lllustrious potentate of Tangler temple, Nobles of the Mystic Shrine, contemplates introducing a nov- elty In the way of a children's entertain. ment some day next month. The idea has been carried out in a few of the citles of the east and has brought the family of the Shriners in closer touch with the order. He plans to engage one of the local theaters for an afternoon some time before the meeting of the imperial council and to have the entertainment given over to the children of the members of the order. No person is to have admission to the playhouse during the afternoon save the children of the members of the order and thelr escorts. The plan has brought together the younger members of the Shriner's fam- ilfes where it has been tried and has made the order one much loved by the little ones. A speclal meeting of Tangler temple, Nobles of the Mystic Shrine, will be called for Friday evening. The regular meeting to have been held last Friday was not held on account of the storm and the delay in the meeting has been taken advantage of by members of the several committees te arrange matters which will be submitted to the temple for final action next Friday, which ordinarily would have been postponed until the regular meeting which will follow. There was a special meeting of the badge committee at the office of Dr. Hugh Hipple Saturday afternoonm, at which time the question of badges, number and cost was settled so far as lay in the power of the committee. This committee, as well as the ways and means committee, will make its report Friday evening. The Shriners ure talking about a cere- monial session to be held in May, before the party leaves for the meeting of the imperial council at San Francisco. The matter has not been settled upon, but will come up at the mext meeting. While the last ceremonial session was the largest ever held there were fifteen persons who had been elected who could mot be initi- ated as they were unable to reach the city. There are at hand a number of ap- plications and a large number of people who are anxious to pass over the sands which lead to the oasls of joy. If the session s held there will probably be fifty candidates to be initiated. R. E. French, custodian of the grand lodge, Ancient Free and Accepted Ma. sons, of the state of Nebraska, held a echool of instruction last week in this city. There were large numbers of mem- bers from the lodges of Omaha and South Omaha and much {information in lodge work and lodge history was received. The Imperial council has issued, through Islam temple of San Francisco, a pamphlet of thirty-two pages setting forth the pro- gram of the councll and the entertain- ment which will be accorded visitors at the Golden Gate, June 9 to 15. According to the preliminary program, parties arriving there Monday, June 9, will be permitted to rest and choose their own form of recrea- tion that day, but that day alome. On Tuesday the Imperial council will meet at Golden Gate hall at 10 a. m. At 3 p. m. of that day there will be a reception to the visiting women at the Lick house, and at 8:30 p. m. the grand parade will start and will be accompanied by fireworks, the blare of trumpets and the roll of drums. Wednesday afternoon will be given over to testivities, at which Al Malaikah temple of Los Angeles will be the host, the day having been designated at Los Angeles day. The forenoon of this day will be devoted to work of the council. Thursday the work will be over and the time of the visitors will be fully occupled, as it is the intention of the local committee to start out at 9 o'clock to visit and inspect the Presidlo, Golden Gate park, the CIiff house and Chinatown. All of this is to be done before 2 o'clock in the afternoon, at which time the patrol drill begins. In the even- ing there will be a reception and concert at the pavillon. Friday at 2 o'clock will take place the competitive drills of the Arab patrols of the different temples, and in the evening will take place the grand ball and distribution of prizes. Saturday will take place the trip around the bay, during which the federal works of Mare island and Yerba Buena will be viaited. That night will follow the banquet, which will be spread for the Shriners and their ladies. The edict has gome forth that Council camp, Woodmen of the World, must meet the degree staff of Seymour camp of the same order on or before May 2 in contest tor the silver initiation service, which marks the camp of the best drilled team in the country, or surrender that service and the claims to champlonship. The question of the competitive drill has been up for a long time and the arrangement of details for the contest were not satls- factory. Finally the question was sub- mitted to the officers of the sovereign camp, who decided in favor of Seymour camp's contention. A Degree of Honor institute will be held with Washington lodge Thureday evening, May 1, to which all members of the order are invited. A paper will be read by Grand Master Workman Jaskelek and the discussion will be open to all. Refresh- ments will be served. The Portland meeting of the National Travelers' Protective assoclation will be the most important ever held, as the assoclation has made remarkable advances the last year and great preparations are being made by the Portland comttingent for a delightful and profitable seesion.

AMERICANS UNCOVERING THE OLD CITY Discovery of a Famous Library Due to | Chance—intcresting Meeting with the Great Sheik of the Distriet. (Copright by C. H. Levy.) That a woman should take her life in her hands and go among the barbarous Arabs of Assyria to take part in the work of excavating anclent rulns is unique. This has been done by an American woman, Mrs. John H. Haynes, who accompanied her hus- band in the latest expedition sent out by the University of Ponnsylvania to continue the excavations begun by him in conjunc- tion with Dr. Hilprecht at Nippur some years ago. It was durlog the last campalgn in which Dr. Haynes was accompanied and assisted by his wife, that the now famous library of 23,000 clay tablets was discov- ered. When deciphered these cannot fafl to shed a flood of light upon the life led by the men and women in one of Assyria’s greatest citles 4,000 years before Christ. The journey from New York to Bagdad was no different from hundreds of sim- flar journeys taken by tourists—but at that point Mrs. Haynes' adventures began Some of her adventures she described to the writer in New York the other day. “We stopped in front of a fruitstand in the Bagdad bazar,” sald Mrs. Haynes, “to look at the oranges. Soon a great crowd gathered, completely blocking the street. When we tried to move on the crowd fol- lowed and at last grew so noisy that we could not in safety remain. Koshoud, the gulde, walked in advance, scattering the people, but they were much incensed at seeing a woman In European dress in public, as was evident from their jeering and threatening gestures. Koshoud led us safely up the street a short distance and put us inside a door which led into a private stall or alcove. Here he closed the door and stood outside on guard. 1 do not in the least question that we would have been stoned had not Koshoud acted so wisely. “A few days after this adventure four of the workmen formerly employed by Dr. Haynes at Nippur walked in to pay a visit to their master, after a trip of fifty miles through the desert. They talked and laughed vociferously, kissing their mas- ter's hands, kneeling at his feet, stroking his clothes and calling upon God to ‘bless their Beg.' When Dr. Haynes told them that Mrs. Haynes was his wife (harem) she thought they would devour her upon the spot. They at once began saluting and greeting her, kissing her hands and telling her that they and their wives would do whatever she wished. “Finally all was in readiness for the de- parture from Bagdad and the men and boxes were ferried over the river. Then the desert journey of fifty miles to Nippur began. “It took ten days of adventurous travel, mostly on camelback, though the last stage was by boat on the waters of the ancient canal leading to Nippur. And all the way the party was in danger both from the vage Arabs all about them and the nat- ural rigors of the region. “On arrival the clay house occupied by Dr. Haynes on his previous stay there was unsealed and found in tolerably good con- dition, but further improvements were mecessary, for there Dr. and Mrs, Haynes were to dwell for more than a year. The ‘walls were very thick to protect the Amer- icans from the extreme heat of the sum- mer and yet the degree c* comfort attain- able was only limited, even after all prac- ticable repairs had been made. Fighting Public Opinion. Mrs. Haynes had to fight her chief bat- tle with public opinion. Her husband was popular with his workmen, but It was a novel enterprise to bring a civilized woman among them. Her reception was chill and had it not been for the friendliness of the sheikh of the district, Haji Tarfa by name, the outcome might have been dis- astrous. Knowing how much depended upon him, all preparations were made for recelving him with due ceremony. A sheep was sacrificed and a tent was pitched for the reception of the sheikh, who would not enter the house, as it was considered a harem on account of Mrs. Haynes' living in it. Her account of this visit had bet- ter be given in her own words. “As the curious crowd gathered many of the more officious members of the sterner sex crowding around the place where my mald and I were sitting, it grew to be a gerious question whether I should hold my ground or seek the house. I decided to stay where 1 was and seem not to motice. 1 tried to read, and, indeed, was reading, when I heard the name ‘Hatoon' spoken. Looking up I saw a very tall Arab, whose whiskers would have been gray had they not been colored a bright red with henna, and whose dress of yellow silk clearly indlcated that he was a man of wealth and position, standing directly in front of me. He was introduced as the great sheikh, Haji Tarfa. “I quickly arose and salaamed to him; then advancing and extending my band, salsamed again. As he took my hand his great black lustrous eyes looked kindly down Into mine with an expression which seemed to say: ‘You are very much out of place, but you probably mean well” We looked at each other only a few seconds, I to see & great shefkh for the first time; and he to lnspect the first white woman he had met, and then I withdrew. The crowd watched the introduction In silent respect and then melted quietly away." From that time Mrs. Haynes was pop- ular with the workmen and the natives ‘round about, and many of the women came to her to be treated for sore eyes and other afflictions. A child that had fallen into a fire and been badly burned about the legs was one of her first patients and the skill with which she cured its wounds did much to establish her in the good graces of the multitude. Popular with the Workmen. After her popularity seemed established when no danger to her person appeared probable, she took her share of the direc- tion of the excavation which was going on simultaneously in various parts of the huge mounds of Nippur. Ultimately the work- men in her division became so much at- tached to her that at nightfall, when the | work was done, they bore her to the house | upon their shoulders. The finest flowers | and fruits and varlous curiosities were | brought to her by the Arabs, especially by the children, whose devotion to “the Beg's harem,” as she was called, was remarkable. The workmeu iived with thelr familles in Mttle reed huts, and Mrs. Haynes was| often asked to visit these to tend suf-| terers from fever, burns or some disease. | At first they called her derisively the Glaour (Christian), but they econ rever- | enced her knowledge of healing drugs. The | discovery of the treachery of one of the Arab sheiks, the beating of the postman | by his predecessor in office and various like incidents divided attention with the progress of the work. Days of the uncover- ing of a large number of graves contain- ing bowle, rings and different bits of jew- elry, as well as tablets here and there, were red-letter days, of course. fest and the gateway of the anclent clty, with the stairways o either side, and the large open space Into which the chariots were driven to awalt their masters were | a1l laid bare. No better idea of the work done by Mrs. Haynes can be given than by copylng an extract from a page of her diary, at which I have been permitted to glance. This entry was made a month after reaching Nippur: “I am kept very busy and wonder that the time passes so rapidly in this place where we are so much alone. The finds of today were a clay image, or idol; forty- eight sound tablets, one fine and one course seal, one perforated prism, a kitchen un- earthed by Hazam and photographed and eighteen graves opened. The kitchen Is built of bricks twenty inches square; the floor and portion of the walls are intact The firepot, made of bricks, is perfectly £0od and shows the marks of fire Almost every day new tablets were dis- covered and as these are the books of an- clent Babylonia they are considered of the highest value. From them may be learned much of the business and the soclal life of anclent times. Here are contracts be- | tween bankers and farmers for loans, mar- riage contracts and the documents of the entire life of a highly civilized people who lived 6,000 years or more ago. Strenuous Days. One of the exciting incidents of the time ts thus told by Mre. Haynes: “Just about sunset one Sunday I was sitting in the court of our house while Mr. Haynes was busy with his accounts, when I heard a commotion outside, but before I realized that it really meant something a bare- headed Arab, with hie face all covered with blood from a gash in his head, staggered into the court and dropped down almost at my feet. I rushed upstairs after Mr.| Haynes, who went at once to the door to prevent other Arabs from coming in. eral, however, had followed the wounded man in and the whole party was screaming and gesticulating as i each one were wildly determined that ‘Beg’ should hear his side of the story only. “In the meantime the frantic efforts of the man to get up and get at Abad el Moham- med told us that he was the man who had done the deed. The Turkish commissioner tried to arrest Abad, but I refused to let him go, and in trying to protect him pushed the commissioner with such force that he tumbled over backwards.”” Dr. Haynes aft- erwards settled the matter eatisfactorily, but this is only one of the trying experi- ences to which his wife was exposed. A few days later she had trouble with the cook. Dr. Haynes reproved him and in serving the tea that night he brought up on the tray, besides the tea, a bible and a large butcher's knife. This was an open threat to do violence and it is not surpris- ing that Mrs. Haynes did not sleep well that night. On the mext morning the cook wae sent away. One night Dr. Haynes and his wife were awakened at midnight by an awful din. They found that the daughter of one of the workmen had died and the mourners had assembled to weep and wall with the mother. All of the women clapped thelr hands on their breasts and wailed in chorus: Your daughter Is gone; where have you put her? What have you done with Mer? 1 want to go with her. She was a chaste and comely malden with long and flowing locks.” The mother gave expression to her grief In the form of divers and many loud screams, howls and wails. She repeatedly called upon her husband, eaying: “Your daughter Is gone and you will soon go to her. What have I to live for? Whom to make bread for?" ete.

What the average man needs is a cengor for his conversation. Probably men and women who flirt like fools because they are fools.
