THE PRODUCE MARKET
Chickens in Great Demand and Scarce
 Eggs High-Butter Dull

Morris Avenue commission merchants are finding this week quite dull, chiefly because of the scarcity of country produce. Eggs are scarce and high.
 Three or four weeks ago eggs were plen- tiful and the demand was light. The whole sale price dropped to cents. This week re- ceipts are light and jobbers' prices yester- day ruled at 14 to b cents.
 Chickens have been in brisk demand all summer and the supply has usually been ample. For the past three weeks daily sales have aggregated between 5000 and 1000. But yesterday the receipts were much too light for the demand. At the close of busi- ness there wasn't chicken to be found on the avenue The best fries bring 25 cents, as against 20 cents last week.
 Butter is in good supply and dull. Fine creamery is quoted at 25 cents and good dairy at IS cents to 20 cents.
 Home grown vegetables are scarce, the receipts from Jefferson County being un- usually light this week; and as conse- quence Missouri and Virginia are being drawn on, especially for cabbage.
 The water melon season is over, and peaches are scarce California peaches will be on this market within the next few days

SHIRT WAIST MAN
 GETS TURNED DOWN
Morris H oteI Cafe Refuses to Serve an En- thusiastic Advocate of the
 New Idea.

The advocates of the -waist-man idea received a severe blow Tuesday night when the head waiter of the Morris Hotel their enthusiasts, well known and popu- lar young man of the city. The young man stroued calmly into the spacious din- ing room of the Morris minus a coat, and, unabashed by the curious glances of the inmates, ordered a supper
 His immaculate shirt fiuttered gently in the breeze of the electric fans, his patent leather belt shone brightly in the glare of the incandescent lights, and his whole ap- pearance suggested coolness in spite of the heat, defiant alike to conventionality and the temperature.
 The august parsonage who presided over the cafe and directed the movements of the hurrying walters, looked upon the new ar rivals costume with strong disapproval but the shirt waist man unblushingly met his scornful glances.
 "I am sorry sir, but the rules of this es- tablishment require that gentlemen re- tain their coats,'' he finally managed to say. The shirt waist enthusiast still main- tained his composure.
 Since when?" he asked.
 q don't know when, sir, but you must provide yourself with coat before we can serve you supper" was u reply.
 The introducer of comfortable gentle mans attire expostulated in vain Argu- ments were brought to bear without re- suit, and the shirt waist man dejectedly withdrew.

THE ROARING MASCOT"
Elite Opera Co.'S Bill Last Night En-
 enthusiastically Received

As the summer opera season at Lakeview draws to a close the audiences become more and more enthusiastic, and the Elite Op- era Company is putting a brilliant finish on their successful season. "Mascott' was the attraction last night and cleverer performance has not been seen this sea- son. The opera seemed almost entirely re- vised since it's original production last month. MT. Lightwood Lorenzo and Mir Luckie as "RoXie'' were a pair of fun makers that were hard to beat. Their Jokes were fresh and bright and were re- ceived enthusiastically. As a clever musl- cal farce Mascot has hardly an equal among comic operas.
 Pippo (Ir. Washburn) and Bettina (Miss Scruggs) were better than eyer before, and their "Gobble Duct was a greater favor ite than ever. Fiametta CMiss Vesey) and Frederick (Dr Mckinney, he quarrelsome lovers, were in splendid form. They have a number of comical lines and situations that are very cleverly done. The chorus last night sounded louder and stronger than ever, and gave the principals excep- tonaly good support. "Mascots' costum- ing, by the way is extensive and attractive.
 There are only three more per1ormanceS left before the Elite Opera Company closes the season, and the management intends keeping up the high standard of the per- formances that has been maintained all the season Tonight Mascot will be played for the last time.
 Tomorrow night "Mikado' will be pre- sented, and on Saturday night there will be a final concert, which will close the present season.
