STRAWBERRIES PLENTIFUL.
Prospects for Larger Supply in the
Early Future.

Strawberries quite plentiful now and
some of them are selling as low two
quarts for a quarter. The Carolinas and
Florida supplying the local dealers.
Virginia fruit is expected to be on the mar
ket in about a week ten days. Norfolk
will send the first shipment from the old
dominion. and the berries from this section
are always in demand. In a few days there
will be no more Florida berries sent here
as those from nearer points are becoming
more plentiful each day. and are delivered
here in much better shape.
Refrigerator used for the ship
ments from Florida, and the berries do not
hold up so we'll after they exposed to
the warm air. Food Inspector Mothers
head, speaking to a Star reporter this morn
ing, said he had condemned quite a number
of berries recently. They have been com
ing in excellent condition, he said, but
many of those brought in cold st orage soft
en- when they do not find ready sale and
have to be condemned. He expressed the
belief that by the first of next week berries
of fine quality will be as cheap as the poor
er ones are now.

The attention of the Secretary of the
Navy has been called to published state
ment TO the effect that the Navy Depart
ment was dissatisfied with the action of
the board recently appointed for the ex-
animation of candidates for the marine
corps, of which Major Lauchheimer was
the president. The Secretary stated that
there was absolutely no foundation for this
statement; that he was satisfied that the
board had discharged its duties with abil-
ity and without favoritism. He added that
in the desire of the department to carry
out the evident intention of Congress to
give those men who served as second lieu
tenants during the war every opportunity
he had ordered q REORGANIZATION of the
seven who failed to pass the first time; that
for this purpose he ordered them to be ex-
amned before new board for the very
simple reason that two of the members
of the former board have been ordered
away, and that Major Lauchheimer HIM
self preferred not to serve, in order to
avoid even the possibility of any criticism
In having as president of the new board the
same officer who had been president of
the former board, before which the candi-
dates had failed TO pass.

MASS MEETING HELD.
Gathering Under the Auspices of the
w. G.


w. c. 7. L.
A largely attended mass meeting of the
WOman's Christian Temperance Union of
the District of Columbia was held last
night in Mount Vernon Place Church,
which was deliberately decorated for the
occasion. Mrs. Clinton Smith presided,
the speakers being introduced by Mrs
Grace Morris. Rev. ]. w. Duffey, pastor
of Mount Vernon Church, made few re-
marks, stating the objects of the meeting.
He said the w. C. T. U. is working at
present to stimulate activity in the tenn
perance cause. Mrs. Frances J. Barnes,
secretary of the Young Womans Christian
Temperance Union, spoke of the great work
that is before every woman in bringing
about a suppression of the liquor traffic.
Mrs. Barnes spoke of temperance work
abroad, especially in Europe, where prog
ress is being made. In the southern coun-
tries of the continent, where the use of
wine is universal, the temperance work is
necessarily difficult. but even there the
true idea is taking hold upon the people,
and the results will certainly be favorable.
In China, Japan and India the reform is
making Roadway. In Africa, also, temper
ance work is in progress, the movement
meeting with success.
Miss Lillian Herr and Miss Jessie Acker-
man also spoke on the subject of tenn
perance work, especially in foreign fields.
A musical program was rendered. Mrs a.

A DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE.
announcements of the Purpose of the
British Government

Under date OF March - Consul Marshal
Halstead Of Birmingham says in a report
to the State Department:
Mr. Richie, the president of the board
OF trade, in his speech at the dinner in
London of the Associated Chambers OF
Commerce on March 10, announced the pur-
pose of establishing commercial depart
ment in Great Britain. He said that in
many ways governments were moving in
commercial matters in which, not very long
ago, they never attempted to move at all
ana that in this years government esti-
mates there was a sum of money for the
establishment, under the auspices of the
board of trade of a new government de-
partment. in which would be collected and
focused all the information which now
exists in the various departments, so that
any commercial man may be able to go to
the office and obtain intelligence in a bust
ness-like way
This department is TO be conducted by
committee which will be drawn from the
India office. the foreign office and the
colonial Office. and will have added to it
certain commercial men. In addition to
that, there will be another sum of f2Ooo
81, I3D upon the foreign office estimate for
obtaining, by means of specially appointed
persons. special commercial intelligence
abroad. We also intend to publish the
Board of Trade Journal weekly instead of
monthly.
Mr.. Halstead also sends the following
clipping from Industries and Iron in it's
edition Of March II:
We are reiOiCed to see that at last a
reform. whose pressing necessity we have
repeatedly urged in these columns, may be
regarded as a fait accOmpH. We are now
authOritatively informed that the prepara-
ton and publication of the consular re-
ports will pass from the control of the
foreign office to specially created depart
mcnt of the board of trade. We have re-
peatedly suggested this and given our rea-
sons in detail for the desirabiity of the
change. The government has evidently the
intention of copying to the fullest degree
and perhaps of improving on, If that be
possible-the example set this country by
the United States"
The consul adds:
The best is not good enough for the
United States, and in that sense the agita-
ton at home for an Improvement of our
consular service is useful; but it is only
fair that the standing of the service abroad
should be understood and appreciated. The
above editorial from an important British
trade paper shows that there has been a
longtime agitation here for consular re-
form, and that the United States service is
the model"
