A MATER OF EGGS.

Queen Victoria and the Royal Fam
lily Use the American Product.
Five hundred million of eggs are
shipped to Philadelphia every year, Il
large proportion of which are housed
away in the big cold storage dcpots
to be kept for use as the needs of the
market require. The fact that during
the week of the queens jubilee Vic
toria and her royal family used ex-
clusively American eggs and poultry
at their dinners and luncheons is re-
garded rs special recommendation for
the superiority of these twin articles
of produce, and were this important bit
of dining-room gossip known about
American barn yards it would cause
many of the feathercd champion egg
producers to look decidedly proud over
such queenly recognition.
The egg supply in this country just
now is absolutely enormous, says the
Philadelphia Press, and more eggs have
been placed in cold storage than ever
before. Prices were never lower, and
it is contended that the market here
can be relieved by shipping the sur
plus stock abroad and sold in close
competition with the foreign produc-
tion in all of the great market centers.
1t has not yet been decided whether to
export the spring eggs now in cold
storage or wait until the shipments of
fresh-laid eggs begin to arrive.

In the trial of n case in police court

one, however. knew anything about
the class or their methods, ard a dis
cusson was started which lasted for
several days and brought out all sorts
of explanations. Finally L. w. Reed
solved the riddle lie said that 10 years
ago, when he was in business In New
York city, the term was common one
in police court circles.
About that time n new confidence

as pigeon dropping" and the operators

Death ofMrs. Elizabeth Barrett

Mrs. Elizabeth Bnrret, was
born in Tazcwoll, Co. Va, Oct. 5th
1889, and died Oct. 18th 1897. Her
life for tho last II years was n beau.
tiful example of the sustaining pow.
er of tho Christian Religion. Dur.
ing that length Of time she was an
invalid, and never left her homo.
Those who woro with her most, say
she was never heard to murmer or
complain at Gods mysterious provi.
dencc in her long aflliction. The
writer of this has held many relig.
ious Sers ices in her home, and she
would invariably send for tho neigh
bors and friends to join in song and
prayer and talk. Often on these
occasions would she clap her hands
and speak of Gods love and pence
which she felt in her heart. Her
last days on earth seemed her hap.
piest, and just before her spirit left
its clay tenement sho looked out of
the window and said: "This is the

In her dying moments her neighbors
were at her bedside, and she ex.
pressed her appreciation of their
kindness to her during her protract-

that her time to leave this world
had come, she welcomed life's ex-
pected close, and sank in perma.

sy to thelmcmory of the late Major
Lewis Ginter. We can conceive of
no more appropriate testimonial to
the memory of the lImented citizen
than an institution of this character.
1t seems to us to be entirely in tho
fitness of things, aud we believe that
with all his modcsty it would have
been most gratifying to Major Ginter
in his life time to know that tho re-
gard of his fellow citizens and their
desire to perpctuate his memory
would find expression in n movement
OF this character.
Major Ginter was not only phi
lanthropist, bat thoroughly practi
cal man. lie loved to do good, and
he loved to expend his money in
such way ms to accomplish the
greatest amount of good for the peo
pie at large of Richmond. He loved
books, he loved art, and he had the
highest regard for professional men.
But he was man of affairs, and he
knew the valno in any community OF
skilled mechanics.
To establish, therefore, an institu.
ton in this community for the edu
cation of mechanics would be not on.
ly an appropriate monument to him,
but would be in keeping with his
public spirit and in furtheranco OF
the great work that he had begun.
The Times believes that this happy
suggestion will receive not only the
approval but the earnest and cordial
support of the people of this city
Richmond State.

FUTURE KING OF ENGLAND.
Prince Edward of York, Who VIII

i'rtnce Edward OF York, Who VIII
BE Great Some Day.
Little Prince Edward of York is OBJ
viously being brought up in the way he
should go, which, in the case of mem
Der of the royal family, means having
ones picture taken with gratifying
frequency. a tiny toddler who is pre-
sumably destined to occupy the throne
of England cannot, it is to be supposed,
have his picture taken too often, and
attractive enough TO win him hundreds
of transatlantic admirers.
In his newest little photograph the
little prince is seated in his private
cquipagc, which is safely stationary.
The little wicker carriage is very pretty
and comfortable, says the ST. Louis
Post-Dispatch, but it was not intended
TO cover very much ground, while the
wooden stecds have suspended anil

from all possible peril. In spite of his
safe position. Prince Edward looks
quite as worried as though he were
driving the chariot of state for which
he will one day be responsible. 1t is
quite likely, however, that, far from
anticipating the burdens attendant
upon his kingly dignity. Prince Edward
is nearly overcome by his new response
bility as the head of the family, Prince
Albert and Princess Victoria both be-
ing babies. Princess Victoria is iu-
bilee baby and the youngest of the
queens grcat-grandchildre
OF course there are many possibili-
ties that the young duke of York may
never reach the throne. His grandfa-
ther, the prince, has been the heir
apparent for nearly GO years, and bets
have been made that the queen, his
mother, will outlive him. Then, after
the prince of Wales, comes the young
dukes father.

When your stomach begins to
trouble you, it need help. The help
it needs, is to digest your food, and,
until it gets it. you won't have any
peace. Stomach trouble is very dis
tressing, very obstinate, very dan
gerous. Many of the most danger
ons diseases begin with indigestion.
The reason is that Indigestion (not
digestion, not nourishment) weak
ems the system and allows disease
germs to attack it. The antidote
is Shaker Digestive Cordial, strength
ening, nourishing, curative. Ii
cures indigestion and renews
strength aud health. II does this
by strengthening the stomach, by

II you think it will be of any in.
terest to your readers you may pub
lish few items L have gathered con
cerning our State farm. The board
of directors came up last week to
take an inventory of what we have
on the farm and think they were
agreeably satisfied. We have on
the farm now eighteen guards,
namely: Red Avis, from Gooch
land; j. l.. Daniel, Louisa; John
Gathright, Goochland; H. Nj. Hutch
eson, Rockbridgo; A, w Harlow,

Porsely, of Richmond; w. Z, Tatum,

ison, OF Culpeper.
Our manager, Andrew jackson
Craven is from Charlottesville. MIR.
G. w. Duey, of Farquiar, is here
making tile for drainage purposes.
Last but not least is our little DIR.
A. e. thurman, of Carroll Co., who
is nice little fellow and rs kind as
he can be TO the prisoners and
guards. This composes our force
of guards and managers. We have
800 acres of land in corn from which
we expect to get 5000 barrels of
corn. We made 1000 bushels OF
small grain, wheat, oats, and rye,
from which we realized good price,
as it was sold TO II. w. Wood &
Sons, OF Richmond for seed. We
have two acres in sugar beets for ex.
periments. Tho average yield is
twenty two tons per acre and had
is per cent OF sugar in them. We
have gathered 700 bushels OF peas
aud have not finished gathering yet.
we made crop of tobacco-l50,-
COO hills. 1t is all cut, housed and
/
well cured. We had nice line of
vegetables all the summer. Several
car loads of fine hogs have been
shipped from hero at different times
this year weighing from 200 to $50

condition with good roads on it and
well drained with tiling. Our War.
den, w. z. Tatum, is an excellent
man and keeps the grounds in the
prison yard nice and clean and makes
tho prisoners walk around when he
is near. The guards are all anxious
to see Major Lynn get his place
again as lie is the right man in the
right place. The guards are going
to do all they can to put him in
again. | do hope the DR.. will get
his position again as he is so kind

as any man will or better as he
knows how. We are busy now
