A CRITIC reporter to-day had talk with
gentleman who deals IN vegetables, and some
facts were learned regarding the horrd vege-
tables and meats which tho people OF wash.
ington are devouring with relish every day.
"Tho trouble Is" said tho gentleman, ro.
fcrring to vegetables, "there is an element
among the dealers here that try TO get up
'Coruers' ON Vegetables.
and this climate is too sultry to permit any.
thing OF the kind. For instance, have known
peas 10 be sold at sevonty.nve cents a barrel
when 1t costs a dollar barrel TO have them
picked. This unusual and strange condition
Is brought about by large dealers, who try to,
and really dc, force down the wholesale mar
ket for the purpose Of buying: In order to
effect corner the market must be glutted,
and In the large stock there must be an enor
nous amount OF
stale Vegetables.

"IIave we any of this class Of

" 1ess we are raising everything, almost,

cheaper, because they are farther advanced by
the lower climate there, and the shipment OF
vegetables from the South tends to keep down

etablcs intelligently now. People should be
very careful, for 1t Isn't safe TO make pur-
chases recklessly from dealers who sell this
shipped stun. The fresh meat question Is as
serious as tho vegetable In Washington. Did
you ever notice what poor meat we get here
sometimesr
THE CRITIC man acknowledged that he some-
times tackled a
had Steak or Chop
at the hotels and restaurants.
"Much meat comes here from Chicago" con-
tinued the gentleman. 'It is shipped here on
ice. 1t is killed in heat, and as soon as itcomes
out OF the refrigerators the air has an i'll effect
upon 1t. 1t becomes llabby, tough, and, at the
end of two or three days, actually becomes
tainted. If this opposition in the trade OF veg
etables and meat is not checked Washington
Will be stricken with q malady, for, my word

than any other city in tho country. This is
consumers believe tho country Immediately

A herd of Hereford cattle, consisting of 107
bulls and heifers and q calves, passed through
this city Friday night en- route from Hallowell
to Lafayette, Ind. The animals were import.
ed in March, and have been at Mr.. j. r.
Bodwell's farm in Hallowell, but now are be-
ing taken in "palace' cars, to the farm OF
their owners, Messrs. Earl Sc Stuart. There
are only four bulls among the number, but one
of these is a noble fellow, just two years old,
and weighing 1915 pounds. Royal 18th, which
expresses this fellows title and pedigree, is in
tended for show, and his owners are confident
of making him weigh 1900 by fall. Twenty
seven among these animals are direct descend
ants of 'Lord Wilton" Many of them have
taken first prizes, and one has carried off IL,
having never been beaten. The present lot is
intended solely for breeding, of which BUSH
ness Messrs Earl s. Stuart make speciality.
None of them are for sale; indeed, the gentle
men, express strong doubts as to whether there
is money enough to purchase Royal The cars
in which they were shipped over the Maine
Central to this city were we'll worthy the name
of "palace cars" They were fitted up with
every convenience with proper apartments for
those who had care of the cattle.

The Longfellow Statue.

Saturday afternoon, the committee, compos-
ed of Messrs. Geo. f. Talbot, j. P. Baxter, H.
S. Burrage, Israel Washburn and Thomas
Tash, reported in reference to statue for Prof.
Longfellow.
Judge Symonds presided, and Rev. Ell. S.
Burrage was elected secretary. Superintendent
fash stated that he had presented the subject
at the recent meeting of the Maine Pedagogi-
cal Society in Bangor, and had received assur-
ances of enthusiastic support from teachers
throughout the State. His idea was that a
Substantial sum could be raised, in small
amounts, from the teachers and scholars OF the
public schools of Maine.
Remarks were made by Hon. Geo. f. Talbot,
Rev. H. s. Burrage Hon. /. Washburn, Jr. j,
and others, and all were confident that the
money requisite for the statue could be raised.
1t was thought $4,000 would be needed.
The committee appointed at the previous
meeting reported in favor of an immediate Or
ganization, and the report was accepted. The
same committee was authorized to present a
constitution and bylaws at the next meeting,
which is to be held at the same place next Sat-
urday afternoon, at 4 o'clock, at which time
some definite plan of action toward raising the
requisite funds will probably be adopted, and a
permanent organization perfected.
