pends on the locality. From
the North more or less eggs
come the year round; from the
South none, or practically none
in summer, and the Southern
shipping season becomes more
and more limited the further
South the place, until at the
extreme Southern points of
shipment the shipping is sub
stantially confined to the win
ter season.
The wide extension in recent
years of the sources of the egg
supply for this market is, of
course, due primarily to the
enormously increased demand.
1t is due, also, in very fine
measure to the great improve
ment in the eggshipping pack
age and the great increase and
improvement in the facilities
for transportation. Eggs come
nowadays from the most dis
tant points with remarkable
quickness; from Texas, for in
stance, in three days. so that
distance scarcely counts. We
get fresh egg from even the re-
motest localities. The ship
ping package is everywhere
the same as to the manner
of it's construction. The cases
are provided with what are
called filters, the filters being
racks of cardboard placed in the
box in tiers. with sheets of
cardboard between the tiers,
each egg occupying a separate
pigeonhole or compartment in
a tier.
Egg raising is carried on now
not only far more extensively,
but far more Systematically,
than ever before. The breeds
of chickens everywhere have
been improved, though more
in some parts of the country
than in others, and the inn
provement everywhere contin-
ues. There are many great
chicken farms, and many
chicken raisers that confine
themselves to special breeds.
The common stock also has
been improved everywhere
more or less.
Without regard to their ac-
tual price at the moment,
commercial eggs may vary in
value as much as FIVE cents a
dozen; handsome, large select
ed, high-grade eggs may be
worth five cents a dozen more
than ordinary eggs. These
superior eggs may be the pro-
duction of special breeds of
stock, but the eggs of compar-
atively ordinary stock packed
with care might bring half a |
cent or a cent more a dozen
than the same eggs packed as
they run. More and more egg
raisers give attintion to such |
details nowadays, culling out
eggs that are dirty or discol-
ored and packing them by
themselves to sell, though they |
may be as good and heavy as |

EGGS IN NEW YORK CITY.
The New York Sun Tells How
Many are Used There.

"A man who eats an egg or
two for his breakfast might
perhaps not realize the num-
Der of eggs that it takes to sup
ply the aggregate wants of the
people of this town and of the
cities and towns of the sur
rounding territory that draw
more or less of their egg sup
plies from here. There were
received in New York from
Ian. to March II of the pres
ent year 279,988 cases of eggs,
as against 3SS,238 cases for the
corresponding period last year.
The receipts of eggs here last
year were 2,642,252 cases. The
great falling off in receipts in
the early period mentioned this
year, as distinguished from the
corresponding period of last
year, was due to the widespread
long-continued and unusual
severity of this years winter.
There are two standard com
mercial packages for eggs, one
a case of thirty dozen and the
other a case of thirty-six dozen.
There are about as many ship
ped in one size case as in the
other, so that the average of
the egg packages would be
about thirty-three dozen to the
case, or, say, 400 eggs. so that
the receipts from Jan l to
March II of this year, a period
of seventy days, amounted to
about 111,995,2OO eggs, or an
average, approximately, of L.
100000 eggs daily. 1t will be
borne in mind that this was a
season of unusual restriction
in the supply, and moreover,
that the great egg season in
the year is not winter, but
spring.
Up to about fifteen years ago
Indiana and Illinois were about
the Western limit of the sources
of supply of eggs for this mar
ket. eggs coming from those
and from all the intervening
States, and more or less from
the South, as well as from fa-
miliar local sources of supply.
Eggs come to this market now
from substantially the entire
country west of here and east
of line drawn down through
North Dakota, South Dakota,
Nebraska, Kansas, and into
Texas. Eggs are received here
from Texas daily in the season.
Some eggs come from Oklaho-
ma. Eggs come practically
from everywhere east of the
line indicated, fl ON Iowa to Al
ALBANIA. Michigan and Missouri,

The next attraction at the Star Thea
tire, Broadway and Fourteenth street,
New York, will be that thrilling play of
love and war, entitled Gettysburg"
Though the play is to be classed war
play and the leading interest centres
around that great battle from which the
play derives it's name, yet the scenes
are varied, one of them occurring in
Richmond about the time the rebel Cap
ital was taken. While the play deals
with love and war, its chief element
is the passionate love displayed at that
period in which father was pitted against
son and brother against brother. There
is all the excitement of the battle and
conflict, yet there is also many moments
of genuine sentiment and refreshing hui

Curious Crowd Wept With Friend
of Isabella Drafin.

An affecting scene was witnessed in
Hoboken yesterday when the funeral vr
sixteen-year-old Isabella Draffin took
place from the home of her. parents at
No. IS Hudson place. Miss Draffin was
a member of the graduating class of
School No. and was a universal favorite
with her teachers and classmates. She
was quite pretty. When 1t was learned
at the school that she had died after two
days Illness great sorrow was felt and
the flag on the building was ordered
placed at half mast.
six of her classmates, robed in black,
carried the pure white casket to the
hearse. When the young women broke
down after the casket had been placed in
the shearse their grief was SO heartfelt
and affecting that many who had gath

among the regular mourners began cry

LET MEN IN !?
Dear No! Not While Lafay
cite Young Women
Wear Gymnastic
Suits.

Behind barred doors and logged in ap-
propriate gymnasium suits of blue cloth
twenty-five young ladies, members of the
physical culture class of the Lafayette
Methodist Church, brought to close last
evening the season of instruction. The
gymnasium. a strictly up to date room
fitted with the most modern appliances
is located in the rear of the church and
also in the rear of the chapel on Wilton
street.
Men were not allowed to witness the
closing exercises. Oh, dear no! That
was simply out of the question. The suits
worn by the fair ones were as proper as
any street dress, and more so than hum
dreds of costumes worn by some women
bicyclists. But, nevertheless, the profess
sor, Charles Schweikert, was the only
man allowed to enter.
At the conclusion of the gymnastic eX-
hibition the young ladies adjourned to
the chapel where a table had been spread
for ALL In the centre was large cake
in which thirty-three lighted candles We're
placed. The professors birthday hap
pened to fall on the day of the exercises,
and the supper was prepared in his honor.
The candles represented the number OF
years he had seen.
A reporter of "The News" knocked for
admission to the supper room and imme-
diately the laughter and chattering
ceased Several of the young ladies fin
ally mustered up courage enough to give
the desired information and to show the
scribe through the gymnasium.
Does the course in physical culture
prove beneficial?" inquired the reporter.
..Oh, yes," enthusiastically replied
fair haired damsel with sweet smile,
"The chest development is really phen-
omenal,'' and here she proudly expanded
her chest. .'Then the muscles become
hardened and the arms stronger from the
flying ring work. Again she demon
strated by rolling up the sleeve Of her
blouse.
Feel that muscle" she said, raising her
right arm until the muscles became as
hard as iron. There's not much there,
she said, by way of apology, "but 1t has
developed wonderfully during my two
years training" Here she squared off as
though she were prepared for a boxing
bout.
The exercises were successful and all
the young ladies were highly pleased
The Professor was presented with an en-
velope containing handsome birthday
present, and Miss Culver, the organist
who assists the young lady, was given
handsome rocking chair.

tent. succeeded Several big concerns
have built large factories within two and
three miles of the proposed magazine. and
they fear the damage an explosion would
do to these structures.
1t is said that Governor Voorhees, has
been petitioned to use his influence to
prevent the location of the magazine at
Tremley, and that he is going to see what
can be done. Nothing, however. can pc
done by the Government until the Legis-
lature gives its consent to the acquiring
of property within the State. According
to the law, this must be done by reso-
luton of both Houses. approved by the
Governor. There is no case on record in
New Jersey where the Federal Govern
ment has asked such consent and has been
refused. Still, in a matter of this kind,
where the apparent source of danger to
important industries is SO great it will
be well for the Legislature to consider the
matter carefully There is another aspect
to the case which must also be considered.
The Government must locate its magazine
somewhere, and in the vicinity of New
York's waters there is hardly any spot
where there will not be some danger to
life and property.
1t is well to remember. too. that the
chance of an explosion is about one in

The Quest for a Magazine Site.

The Tinted States Government seems to
be having hard time locating the new
powder magazine for the navy which it
proposes to establish in this vicinity. AT
first. a site was selected at Edgewater,
Bergen county. near Fort Lee, but when
1t WIS pointed out that an explosion
there would cause great damage in the
city Of New York, just across the river,
the Government abandoned the place.
Now it appears that the naval board ap-
nointed to select a site for the magazine
has chosen an estate at Tremley, Linden
Township. about four miles below Eliza
beth. 1t is on Staten Island Sound. which
is of suhicient depth to allow war vessels
to come up to the wharf to take on
ammunition. and it is close to several
great railroads. To all appearances it Is
an ideal spot for a magazine and just the
kind of site the Government has been
looking for.
But the same opposition has arisen to
locating the magazine in that vicinity.
that was advanced against Edgewater. It
is said that an explosion would greatly
. danage-not the city of New York, but
the great municipality of Elizabeth. The
damage that the blowing up of stored
powder would do the stately monuments

atysis something terrible to think of. It
