MARKET REPORT.
By Florida Fruit Exchange Weekly
Review Up to and including
December 9, 1889,
at 2 p. m.

During the past week the orange mar
ket has steadily improved The quality
of the fruitnoW offered is decidedly better
than a week ago. Prices donot advance
as rapidly as we would ke but will prob
ably reach a maximum for this month
for fruit reaching market by the 10Th.
After which time the usual holiday de-
preston, occasioned by heavy receipts
and slackened demand, may be looked
for Those who do not intend to hold
over until the middle of January should
start their fruit at once. At no time dur
ing this month, however, does the Fruit
Exchange expect fancy prices, the guam
tity going forward is too large.
About half a million boxes went for
ward during the month of November,-o
course this was nearly all green, and con-
sumers, who have scarcely got their teeth
back to a normal edge, are suspicious
and 10th to take hold again. Considering
the immaturity and inferiority OF the
lluIt, anu Ul0 unprecedented Yuan oJ
rushed forward so early, the prices, which
have seemed very low, have really been
good, and it is even remarkable that the
market stood up at all.
The most reliable estimates Indicate
that one third OF the present crop has
gone forward, and that a second third
will have gone forward by the end OF
the holidays The fruit sold at home is
largely under contract for removal be-
fore January first; this will keep the
market pretty full. Up to this time buy
ers have lost from ten to twenty-five per
cent. all round, and their fruit forced into
market in immense quantities has borne
the market down in spite of the efforts of
other agencies to sustain prices.
Therefore while maximum prices will in
all probability be reached during the
week, no very considerable advance over
quotations given below are expected.
After the market RECEIVERS from the
holiday depression, with but a third of
the crop to go forward, during the most
favorable portion of the marketing
season, from the middle OF January to
the middle of March, prices can scarcely
fail to make decided advance. The
best posted growers, who can afford to
carry over their fruit and take the risk
of damage by frost, are holding back.
The followingare the latest quotations
from actual sales coming over the wires !:
Brights, Clancy" $2.37 to 80. rs; brights,
"straight lines," $500 to 1926; russets,
best, $500 to 1926; russets, straight

TO DRY DEAD BODIES.

Young Inventors Scheme for "Knock-
ing OUT Cemeteries and Crematories.
Another answer to the question of how best
to dispose of the dead has been given by j.
Ct. Meyers, of Washington. He has invented
plan which he believes to be superior to
cremation, burial, or any other ancient or
modern method of treating dead bodies. The
new Mausoleum and Safe Deposit for the
Dead is the name of this new contrivance.
Mr.. Meyers plan may be regarded as a
compromise between the two extremes Of
interment and cremation In a fireproof
building spaces will be provided just large
enough to hold single coffin. When a coffin
with dead body is placed in one of these the
door of the apartment is hermetically sealed
Running from these apartments are tubes
which bring air into the deadrooms and also
carry it downward by a forced draft to
central furnace below, where are consumed
all gases and fluids escaping from the bodies
Dead bodies treated in this manner will, in a
short time, it is claimed, become naturally
preserved or dried, and so remain.
Ample provision will be made to prevent
the entombing Of persons really dead. A re-
ceiving room will be provided with an cleo
h1cal apparatus SO arranged that the slight
est movement in the coffin will set off an
alarm. This will continue for hours, if need
be, ard will also prove an Indicator which
will draw attention to the place where the
movement occurred. If, again, for any rea-
son the removal of the dead should be de-
sired, the bodies in the mausoleum, unlike
those in gloomy pyramids of Gizeh, are al
ways accessible and in such a state of preser-
walton as to make transfer practicable and
comparatively easy. Arrangements will
also be made for embalming bodies and for
entombing those treated in this way that
they may be seen at any time by friends.
By the adoption of this system, Mr.. Meyers
maintains, body snatching will be made inn :
possible. There will be but a single entrance
to the building, guarded day and night. Yet
Notwithstanding all these appointments the
cost of entombing in the mausoleum will not
exceed that of a respectable interment in any
well known cemetery. Families could be ac-
commodated with sections, including as
many single apartments as desired. The
fronts of these apartments can be adorned
as deliberately as a tombstone, and
with fully as great variety of ornamen-
tation. An ordinary mausoleum could be
placed within the limits of city as well as
on the cemetery grounds, and be far less OBJ
jectionable if built and managed as proposed,
than the average brewery or sugar refinery.

Mrs. Kate Chase Sprague.

At one time no woman was more popular
in Washington society than Mrs. Kate
Chase Sprague, or Mrs. Chase, as she now
calls herself-and few have seen more bit
ter ''ups and DOWNS" or felt more keenly
the humiliation of that public notoriety
that is not fame. But it would seem, at
last. as if fortune were returning to this
still beautiful and stately woman. When
Chief Justice Chase died his estate was sup
posed to be worth less than thirty thousand
dOllars-an insignificant sum to his only
daughter, who could easily get rid Of twice
that sum in one seasons entertaining. 1t
is needless to say that she was soon penni-
less, so far as the paternal estate was con-
cerned, except the Edgewood property
near Washington, the chief Justices country
place, which tilial affection compelled her
to keep. Lately the electric street railway
has been extended out beyond that sub
urban farm, increasing its value very
greatly. 1t is really grand old place and
might easily be made one of the finest in
the District of Columbia. Her son, Willie.
who went with his father in the Sprague
domestic troubles and who married sister
of the woman whom his father married,
has now separated from his wife and re
turned to his mother. He is only about

Female Supplied ChOirs.

Canon Hidden has written an open letter,
decidedly disappearing of female surpliced
choirs, movement toward the establish
ment of which appears to be gaining ground
in England and Australia. He says: SIT
is difficult to say whether the spectacle of
ladies' dressed in surplices and so on in
church is more irreverent than it is GER
tainly grotesque. 1t is greatly to be hoped
that good sense and Christian feeling will
steadily discourage anything of the kind,
especially for the sake OF the ladies con
cerned."
The ecclesiastical vestments of the sur
pliced females in Melbourne church, CON
sisted OF SUPPLIES edged with black, and
college caps. The same novelty appeared
ut a harvest festival in Yorkshire the other
day, where the SUPPLIES worn by the
women were made of Scotch lawn, in shape
not unlike collegian's gown, with plated
back, the costume being completed with
surple velvet caps, similar to those worn
in England by doctors of civil law.
