CONFERENCE HELD
RETIREMENT OF SOLDIERS AND
SAILORS HOME THE OBJECT.

A conference of the leading members of
the Legion of Loyal Women, the Grand
Army of the Republic and other organiza-
lions of veteran American soldiers was held
last night at the soldiers and sailors tenn
porary home, 1O6 3rd street northwest. The
purpose of the conference as stated by one
of the lady conferees was:
I'VE are here to take steps for the better
ment of the condition Of American soldiers.
the very best soldiers under Gods bright
sunlight, and we mean business
The overcrowded and insanitary condi-
ton of the institution was discussed and the
failure of Congress to pass the pending bill
for the purchase, at what is regarded as a
comparatively small cost, of the old Scheut-
zen Park club house was sharply criticised
The Evening Star was heartily commended
by the confereeS for having shown to the
public the true and awful conditions exist
ing at the home,'' as a result of a lack OF
space and facilities. Those present made a
tour of the premises and expressed indigna-
ton at what was termed 1.-The shameful ne
glect by the government of its soldier
wards.
The committee from the Legion of Loyal
Women consisted of Mrs. Ada II. Weiss,
Mrs. Albertine S. Odell, Mrs. Lizzie w. CAL
yer, Mrs Kathleen E. Temple and Mrs
Johnson. There were also present Col. c.
G. Bradshaw, Capt. B. F. Chase. president
of. the board OF managers OF the hOme ana
Capt A. A. Maxim, the superintendent.
Appeal to Veterans.
In order to bring about favorable results
in the movement looking to the purchase
of the Scheutzen club house on the 7th
street road, to be fitted up as soldiers
and sailors temporary home, the conferees
decided to call upon the various veteran
organizations and patriotic societies in all
parts of the United States to take action in
the premises.
For this is in no sense a local matter"
stated a member of the committee, "as the
soldiers and sailors who are given food and
shelter at the home come here from every
state in the Union, and to those who are
without funds it is a haven of rest which
interveneS between them and the work
house or poor house,
The conditions existing at the institution
and the necessity for more commodlouS
home will soon be brought to the personal
attention OF President Roosevelt, it was
announced last night by those who feel "A
deep interest in the welfare of the soldiers
of this republic.
Colonel Bradshaw stated last night that
Uncle Sans fighting men are not receiving
the attention they merit from the govern
ment they served SO well in the hour of Its
peril and when soldiers were needed quick
ly. He stated that the matter of the tenn
porary home would be brought before the
next annual encampmentS of the q. A. r.
and the United Spanish War Veterans for
action.

The rebuilding of the wharf of the Wash
ington- Alexandria ferry has been stopped,
but will be resumed shortly, when the lease
is transferred to the new company which
Is to be organized to operate ferry. The
greater part of the repair work to the
wharf has been completed. but before the
slips on which the boats land can be used
they will have to be rebuilt but little is
left of the old slips, except a few piles
driven at odd intervals along line of
what was once a solid wall of piling. 1t
is also stated that the new company will
make many improvements in the ferry
house at this end.
The rebuilding of the wharf of the steam
er River Queen, at the foot of n street
southwest, is nearly completed, and 1t Will
be in the best of order before the opening of
the spring excursion season on the river.
Perch, both yellow and white, catfish
mullets and other bunch fish from the nets
in the river have been received by the deal
ers at the fish wharf in large quantities
since yesterday, while shad and herring are
scarce. There was fair demand for all
varieties of fish and bunch fish sold this
morning at prices lower than they have
been for several weeks. The fish auctions
at the wharf market are being well at
tended.
On the oyster wharf business was rather
dull, although there was some little de-
mand for oysters in the shell at prices
ranging from 40 to 60 cents per bushel for
medium stock and up to 81 per bushel for
selects. There is plentiful stock on hand
aboard the fleet of boats lying at the oys-
ter wharf
The steam yacht Diana, belonging to Gen.
Crozier, chief of ordnance, L. S. A, which
has been hauled out on the marine railway
at Deans boatyard at Alexandria, for
several weeks past, to receive thorough
repairs, was put overheard yesterday and
will be ready to go into commission again
in few days While on the railway the
hull of the yacht rebuilt and her
engine and machinery put in the best of
order. She will be used for pleasure cruis-
ing on the river during the coming sum-
mer. The Diana was cut through by the
ice in the early fall and sank at her dock
in consequence.

Messrs. Editors: This is the third

The Dewberry Crop-Fine Berries this
Year,

The dewberry crop now being mar
keted from Cumberland County is
one of the best paying crops that
can be grown in this section. One
of its best features is the never-fail-
ing crop of some kind, whether
large or small, and the steady price
that it invariably brings. It fur
nishes employment to hundreds of
women and children while being mar
keted, and good prices are paid for
pickers and packers.
The crop this year is as fine as it
ever has been, the large juicy berries
being freer than for some years of
the hard centres that are USUALLY
caused by drouth, etc. 1t is estimated
that between 800 and 400 acres are
cultivated in and around Fayette-'
ville.-Fayetteville Observer.
