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 ad-
vance; they have not generally speaking,
as a 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.
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.
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 eacn

In 70 or 80 they were cOrnered and the
price went up in New York to IS cents a

Heavy Sunday Traffic on the New

Travel on the interurban street rail-

Wildwood and St. Paul was something
remarkable. Every car was crowded to
its utmost capacity, and the company
was unable to take care of the crowds
that were eager to make a trip over the
new line. Extra cars were run, but the
power was insufficient to handle all need
ed cars. and many were forced to give up
the trip to the lake.

the part of the village and the company,
having been adjusted.

Years and One of the Pioneers of

friends. His death occurred at Punxsu-
tawney, Pa, yesterday. where he was

stroke of paralysis on Tuesday, of last
week, an account of which was published
in the G 0 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 MacEtubin and IgIehart
streets.
Mr.. Irvine was born in the village Of
Evansville, Livingstone county, n. Y, on
May %, 1928 There he was raised and re-
celVed his education, serving his time
with his father at cabinet making in his
earlier years. He came west to st. Paul,

a year before the territory of Minnesota
was organized He was then in Still
water, working at his trade about as
much az in st. Paul He made visit to
bis birthplace in 1850.
In 1851 he entered into partnership with
his TWO brOtherS, John Il and George r.
vine, and George w. Turnbull in the
wholesale and retail grocery, commits

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

To the Editor of the G l c b e:
I see that the old story about the public
baths run by the Bethel is repeated by
the G o b this morning.
Now, there is no contract to run alb
solute free baths entered into by the
PetheI with the city. The contract was
to first erect a bath boat, to be supplied
with either city water or artesian we'll
ater, 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 tc the city free,
which cost the Bethel association more
than was received from the city. We
commend DR.. Ohages 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 10 promote all such schemes to
help the people, in spite of the fact that
some people are ever ready to report
falsehoods 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. ID. Morgan

O'DONNELL is IMPROVING.
Police Now Claim That His Correct
Name Is james Mcclure.


William ODonnelL who was shot by
Officer Ryder, of the DUcas station, while
attempting to escape arrest, last Thurs
day, is improving at the city hospital,
and the physicians are hopeful of his re-
cCvery. There is considerable mystery as
to the mans correct identity. He gave
the name of William O'Donnel when ia
ken to the hospital and claimed to live ct
Sixth and NeilfEstreets. Since then sew
eral members of the police force have
viewed him at the hospital, and it is said
by some that the mans correct name is
James McGuir6 Jailer John Harris, OF
the central station says ne knows the
man and that his right name is Mcclure.
The police have in their possession a
warrant for the arrest of James Nc
Guire, who is charged with the theft of
a bicycle, but whether the man at the
hospital is the same Individual or not is
not known.
