By 9 o'clock the crowd at the market had so
increased that there was not much more than
walking room along in front of the country
people. "Quack! quackl quackr' went the
ducks. and along came old Aunt Adelipe {"
Her big fiat shoes could be seen coming from
beneath her new holiday dress and broad
grin that placed her worries in sight of every
body indicated that she was the possessor of
the ducks. Aunt Adeline" is known to most
Of the people in the market and well did thew
get out Of her way because they knew that she
would not stop short Of anything; that she
would walk over one. II you speak to her she
will say:
what made you stay In my wav?" She yas
the proudest woman in the market. and some
one was cruel enough to hint that she mr.
chased the ducks in order TO show the white
folks that she could live as well as other peopIe
They were not all she had either The bottom
of her basket was filed with cabbage and no.
tatoes. while on top she had few oranges and
other fruit.
Further along the line we're the "West End
hotels" That Is what the colored people call
the cook stands along b street near the hay-
market. These stands are erected along the
line OF the curbstOne, and hot meals are served
from over fires made in the street The weather
does not interfere with these outdoor hotels.
for In falling weather the edibles are kept dry
with pieces of oilcloth, cotton and old clothes
which form an awning arranged on slender
wooden frames. These hotels are aways in sea-
son, and although they furnish meal for from
10 to % cents, they provide everything in the
line OF substantial food. and also many delica-
cles. Their patrons chiefly the colored
men who work about the market and country
people, wagon drivers and boys.

FROM THE COUNTRY

The appearance of evergreens gave that par I
Of the city a Christmas-like appearance, and
many of the old colored ''aunties" from the
neighboring country had a supply more than
equal to the demand. This class of dealers oc-
cupled the pavement under the shed directly
against the south wall of the building. They
are usually the first corners and first come
hrst served" They select their places there
because they are protected from the weather. no
matter whether it is just little sunshine or
Just little rain. They are shaded from the
former and out of reach of the latter. These
old .-aunties" usually bring n little of every
Kind OF country produce, from a piece of moss
from the side of the brook to a turkey from the
roost in the coop. When the old gobbler is
dressed and taken to market there is no further
necessity for his having to be put where he can
roost high and one cause of anxiety to his
owner Is gone. His roosting days are over and
he Is only waiting for some one to say: I'm
take him; here's the money"
If 1t Is a chicken you want aunty's got it. and

On the other side of the pavement stood the
bona hde eountrymen who toll twelve months
In the year. They also had plenty of turkeys.
Chickens, birds, rabbits and SQUIRRELS as well as
such light green stuffs parsley, celery, cab
bage and other seasOnings for the Thanksgiv-

Father and Son.

From the Minneapolis Tribune.
There was an educational scene down at the
depot the other day between man and boy,
but it was the man that needed the education,
not the boy. The boy came there to meet his
father and failed to bring some piece of bag
gage which was expected. II did just as you
told me to. papa" said the little fellow, who
was a manly little chap. Il told John to get
it and put it in the carriage, aud he didn't do
it"
II don't believe you're telling me the truth"
said the father in loud, bullying tone. You
forgot to say a word about it and when l get
home I'll settle with you"
''But, father. did"
Hush up" said the man. sternly, while the
boys cheeks flushed and his eyes filed with
tears.
At that moment the man John, who seemed
to be family factotum or coachman, came
into the depot and the father asked him about
the matter.
Fred is right. SIR" said the man, candidly;
he told me about it, but had good bit to do
an it slipped my mind You can blame me,
sir, if it's wrong"
Did the father then turn to his little SON and
asked to be excused for doubling his word and
speaking SO harshly? Not bit Of it. He
looked as angry as if he wished his son had
been wrong, and the passengers waiting there
were sorry for the future of that boy.

fore daybreak this morning teams could be
heard rafting along the streets in the direc-
ton Of the big Center market building. Some
were being rapidly driven. while others
went along in dog trot When the day
dawned upon the hundreds of vehicles around
the building lively scene was revealed.
Everybody was in hurry. Those who moved
slowly were apt to get run over. There was
then no time for delay for soon the customers
for whom all these daybreak preparations were
being made would begin to appear.
The country people on the outside stood in q
long row at the B-street side of the market,
while on the opposite side Of the street the line
extended nearly five squares.

As the golden moments are hurrying by.

Their Joy complete is.

And a voice down calling,
Their hearts appalling
"Say, tell your beau TO go home to bed.'
Thus checked their bliss Is,
But good night kiss il
With haste exchanged ere the youth doth 60
Then hOmeward HES he

Stan Correspondence Of The EVENING STAG.


Stan Correspondence Of The EVENING STAR
LONDON, November 5, 1889.
Among the many interesting sights with
which London abounds is the famous Christ's
hospital. a school for boys, founded by En-
glands boy king Edward vi, only legitimate
son of Henry VIII. about the middle of the
sixteenth century. Here for three hundred
and thirty years has this ancient charity four
ished Only portion of the original building
is standing, called by the boys the "Jeffs."
though they do not seem clear as to why that
name is given to it, One Of the ancient
beadles suggested that it is so called
from former janitor named Jeffs,
but the explanation seems rather lame one
and the origin still rests in obscurity. Around
the ancient quadranges now paved but for
merly called garden, rise the massive piles of
gray stones with battlemented turrets giving
rather fortress-like appearance.
The memory of Edward vi seems to pervade
the place, statues OF him grazing several inches
while III the large refectory is his portrait side
by side with those of Charles ii, James ii.
Queen Victoria. the Prince Consort and the
present Duke of Cambridge, who is one of the
governors OF the school. One bright-faced boy
with whom we talked told US that all the
scholars Of the mathematical school founded
by Charles I'D are obliged to go to sea. but the
pupils are not obliged TO- enter the mathemat-
zeal school. He added: My papa is a naval
officer and he wrote to us that he had Just met
an English governor of an East Indian province
who was blue" The .'mathemats" are dis
tinguished from the other pupils by large
TIN disk with geometrical figures securely sewed
to the left shoulder Ali the pupils are famil-
iarly referred to as blue coat boys" on account
OF their costume. which is identical with that
worn by all who have been taught there since
the foundation OF the school. They presented
a remarkable appearance when during our visit
as the clock struck the quarter after twelve
they came running out of the various school
rooms. books under their arms racing, whist

"Yes," said one of the dealers. 'the time has
at last come when full line of fruits and vege-
tables can be carried all the year round. Here,
for instance, are some tomatoes. They are
very fine ones. They we're raised in Boston
hot houses, and bring as high as 81 pound.
while the vegetables from New Orleans sell for
about half that amount.
Then here are the Gross Coleman grapes
something new. They are raised in hot houses
at Westtown, Pa. and sell for $3.50 per pound.
They are the highest priced grapes that come
here"
What is this?" inquired the reporter, pick
ing up cucumber-shaped vegetable about a
foot long.
why that's an English cucumber. much bet
ter than what are raised here. They are grown
in the hot houses with the grapes"
What is the price of them?'
"Oh. they only bring forty and fifty cents

every day now. They will come about four

and at noon business was getting dull. Then
