The popular street car excursions for
pleasure and profit are still continuing.
Crowds are patronizing the new lines for the
novelty of the thing, and many take ad-
vantage of the great convenience to go to
the market.
What do you think Logan has decided to
do! He furnishes his special customers
with street car tickets to return to their
homes. This comes from his profits, not
from his customers, for what you buy from
Logan is always the very best the market
affords. and you pay not a cent more than
you would do for inferior meats.
Therefore the purchasers of good things
to eat come from every direction, north
east, south and west The choicest line OF
meats, game, vegetables and fruits are al
ways at Logan's. He has arranged recently
to supply his customers with soft she'll crabs
and fine nutmeg cantaloupes. They are fine.
ARRANGEMENTS are now made for che be-
ginning Of fall season, so that every article
can be guaranteed to be strictly first-class
and guaranteed both in fresh and corned
meats.

WASHINGTON. March 7--Mr. William

that the memorial was the result of q

in peaceable way to give the Jews con
troll of their homes in Palestine In
closing he said that, being on such

no complications in the Orient, it is

ernment should initiate the friendly

millions of Israel settled and perma-
nent home.
The president listened attentively to
Mr.. Blackstone's remarks and promised
