Commissioners Eaton Explains.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 22.-It is stated
here to-day On the authority of Mr.. Eaton
himself, that reports of his resignation are
all founded on an incident which occurred
shortly after President Cleveland's maugu-
ration, at which time all members of the
civil service commission waited upon him
and rendered their designations, to take eff
feet at any time the president might desire
to accept them. This. Mr.. Eaton says, is
all the foundation there is for the matter
He has no intimation that the president is
likely to accept these rendered designations
at this or any particular time. They may
be accepted and they may not.

Profit in "Faney" Prices.

Poultry breeding is, as rule, a
strictly business operation. The
breeder may have a strong love of
his beautiful birds, but is not the
whole of his interest in them, and
he reasonably expects not only
pleasure but profit. When he
buys the finest cock of his pet
variety to be found in the show
room, he pays, and pays willingly;
high price. This he does, not to
crafty his fancy only, but to Sc
cure the best results from his
next mating. These best results
mean finely marked, well formed
chicks, which will command the
best prices. The price paid for
the bird that insures such a result
may be high, but cannot fairly be
called fancy" A true clancy"
price is that paid for an inferior
fowl, supposed or represented as
asuperior bird and a sure stock-get-
ter. Anything above the market
price is fancy price for poor
bird. These facts are now very
generally understood by the ma
iority of breeders, and it is chiefly
from outside parties that the fan
cier generally hears the term
"fancy," at once a term of reproach
and a guaranty of the Ignorance of
the person using 1T.
