dividual members. One member was lost
by death during the year. His funeral was
attended by the association in body, sew
eral being selected as pallbearers.
One thing that the association wishes to
impress on market patrons Is that the
members guarantee all goods purchased In
side the market buildings as being precise
ly what they are represented to be, but do
not want to bear the responsibility for
those purchased outside which, the mem
bers claim. are frequently represented to be
fresh country products, when the fact is
they have been in the hands of several
parties, from commission merchant to ped
dler, and are sometimes stale and unwhole-
some.
The Objects.
A glance at the constitution of the asso-
citation shows that its objects shall be the
advancement of the interests of the market
dealers, who, by mutual effort and the cul-
tivation of feeling Of friendship, may
elevate the moral, social and business con-
ditions of all. Membership is confined to
male dealers in the several markets of the
District and their assistants over twenty
one years of age. Applications for member
ship are referred to a committee of three
members, who report at the next meeting
after their reception. Elections are by ball
ballot, ard three black balls shall reject.

are 81, payable semi-annually. at the meet

and a re- .iation entered into specifying
what quantities the wholesale houses
should sell. Last spring when the berry
season was about to begin, the association
began vigorous warfare on the fraudulent
shor:-quart berry box, and secured the aid
of The Evening Star in exposing the prac-
tice generally followed by street vendors
OF berries of buying short-measure boxes,
holding only pint and half and filling
them with the berries selling them as
quarts.
The crusade was a vigorous one, and the
public, becoming thus acquainted with the
custom. insisted on purchasing berries by
actual measurement, and the short-quart
trade was given its death-blow. Later on
the crowded condition of the streets and
approaches in the vicinity of the street
and K street markets was taken up by the
association, and the comfort of market
goers greatly increased by the evil being
remedied.
The members of the association now en-
brace over hundred of the leading market
dealers of the District, and relief feature
has been added to it, which distributed dur
ing last winter several hundred dollars to
the poor of the city, besides the daily as
sstancs rendered to the needy by the in

periods. Miracles, which are but violations
of natural laws, are out of harmony with
all known or probable truths. Jesus saw
God in man as no one else ever did"
About Miracles.
Miracles, DIR. Furness said, are the re-
cults of unauthenticated tradition, hnd
most of what was written about Jesus
probably appeared soon after His death.
Before His death there were some thou
sands who believed in Him as faithfully as
did His disciples. But it was thought that
Jesus would appesr again in that same
generation as the Messiah. and conse-
quently the writings about Him which had
been prepared were not regarded as Of any
great Importance. When He did not reap
pear a 81 eater value was attached to the
writings of the many. So the gospels de-
rived their Importance, and yet Matthew
was the only one of the four who was very
closely connected with Jesus. There was
little or TO attempt at chronological order
In the gospels, and from these 1t is practi-
cally impossible to estimate the length of
time that Jesus public life continued. Yet
the surprise and beauty of It all Is that
from this undersigned narrative We gather
such a wonderfully clear idea of the life
and character of Jesus.
The time is coming, said DR.. Furness,
when mun will be SO one with God that
there will be no need for formal observ-
ances. and we shall be In harmony with
Him and with all mankind. The apprecia-
ton Of the absurdity of relying upon the
sword as means for securing complete In
teinational justice Is rapidly fastening the
day when arbitration will be the accepted
means Of settling all international disputes.
At the conclusion of this address. upon
the recommendation Of the business COM
mittee, fifteen minutes were allotted to
committee consisting of Mr.. f. b. Has
kell Of Boston. Prof. Everett of Harvard
and Rev. Mr.. Slicer Of Buffalo to set forth
the claims of THE New World" which is
planned as non-sectarian and liberal re-
view Of religion and literature. In this 1t
was claimed, Is to be found the last word
in the higher criticism. 1t was recon-
mended that a guarantee fund be raised.
