NO CORNER IN EGGS.
The Report Said to Be GroundIess
by Mr.. b. Duke Barnum

The Report Said to Be GrOundIess
by Mr.. b. Duke Barnum
The rise in the prices of meats has not
and, as good authority as s. luke Bar
mum, Of the New York produce commits
sion firm of Pitt, Barnum & Co., says,
will not send the prices of eggs up, al
though some of the local commission mon
have expressed a belief that it would.
1.-The talk about cornering eggs is
groundless," said Mr.. Barnum yesterday
There are more eggs in store now than
usual and the more there are the less
chance there is for a corner. 1t is hardly
likely that the prices of eggs will adj
vance; they have not, generally speaking,
as result Of the movement in the prices
of meat. The increased production Of
eggs in the South does away with the
possibility of any scarcity. There are
enough eggs in store now to supply the
demand until the Southern production
begins.
1.-The price of eggs now is about what
it ought to be under normal conditions
and there is no chance for it to go higher.
In fact, the high prices of meat have not
seemed to increase the demand for eggs.
1.-THE season in the South opens earlier
and earlier each year and the production
is great. North and South Carolina, Ken
lucky Tennessee, Texas, Oklahoma and
Kansas are heavy producing sections,
and Oklahoma and Kansas in particular
furnish an immense number of eggs each
season.
mo, eggs have never been cornered but
once, although it was frequently tried
In 70 or so they were cornered and the
price went up in New York to IS cents a
dozen. Since then the increase in pro-
duction has prevented every effort TO

OLD RESIDEKT OF ST. PAUL DEAD

OF PARALYSIS IN PENN

He Was Familiar Figure Around

Years and One of the Pioneers of

News was received yesterday of the
death from paralysis OF b. T. Irvine, an
cid pioneer of St Paul and well known in
a large circle of acquaintance and
friends. His death occurred at Punxsu-
tawney, Pa, yesterday. where he was
visiting with friends. He suffered the
stroke of paralysis on Tuesday, of last
week, an account of which was published
in the G e at the time. He was a
brother of John R. and George Irvine,
and leaves a wife and family, who reside
at the corner eff Macllubin and Iglehart
streets.
Mr.. Irvine was born in the village Of
Evansville, Livingstone county, N. Y, on
May %, 1898. There he was raised and re-
ceived his education, serving his time
with his father at cabinet making in his
earlier years. He came west to st. Paul.

MIR. MORGAN REPLIES.
Says That the Bethel Has No Con-
tract to Run Free Baths.

Says That the Bethel Has NO con-
tract to Run Free Baths.
To the Editor of the G l c e:
see that the old story about the public
baths run by the Bethel is repeated by
the oil this morning.
Now, there is no contract to run alb
solute free baths entered into by the
PetheT with the city. The contract was
to first erect bath boat, to be supplied
with either city water or artesian we'll
water, and on certain days to charge FIVE
cents, other days ten cents. The contract
has been and is now more than carried
out. We use only artesian water, which
has to be heated at great expense. We
only charge five cents, except on Satur
days, for the swimming pool. and five
cents extra for the shower baths We
give away from three to five thousand
baths every year, without one cent OF
charge. If the city council or any other
parties think they can do better than
that, the Bethel association will willingly
turn over the bath boat to the city free,
which cost the Bethel association more
than was received from the city. We
commend DR. Ohage's efforts to get free
baths. but think he will find it impracti-
cable in the river. We have tried to get
the park commissioners to open free
baths at Como lake, but so far they have
been unable to do so. The Bethel asso-
citation will be found ever ready to do all
it can TO promote all such schemes to
help the people, in spite of the fact that
some people are ever ready to report
faIsehoods about the association and its
work Our bath boat is we'll patroniZed
by the very people it was intended for,
as any one can see by a visit on any
warm day. D. Morgan

Parks and River Boats Crowded
With People All the Day Long.
The mercury toyed with the upper
ranges of the thermometer yesterday
and gave st. Paul real old-fashioned
hot Sunday There was nothing peculiar
in the atmospheric conditions either-it
was just plain, mean hot. The official
thermometer at the top of the chamber
of commerce registered a maximum
Of go. but the little old thermometers
down in the drug store windows, with
out even a chance at a cooling breeze,
and in the glare of the sun. ranged all the
way from 80 UP to 100 and over.
Despite the sultriness of the day, the
people of st. Paul managed to make
themselves comfortable, and that, too,
without a single casualty because of the
heat being reported. All day long the
parks were crowded. A double service
accommodated the great throngs Of peo-
pie who went out to Como dWing the day
and stayed until evening brought a little
GOODNESS. The downtown squares were
also very popular. But it was Como that
everybody appears to have thought of
yesterday. Many whole families went out
and spent the day under the refreshing
shade of the trees and reveled in the icy
chill of the pavilion lemonade and
ice cream. Supt. Nussbaumer says the
throng at the park was the largest Of
the year.
Hundreds of people sought relief from
the melting heat on the river, and every
steamboat that went out carried a crowd
of eXcursionists that taxed the capacity
of the boat. The Forest Street Mission
Sunday school picnicked at Phalen park,
and there were numerous other affairs of
the kind, impromptu and otherwise. All
were largely attended.
