Strangers Yet.

Strangers yet.
 After years of fife together, After fair and stormy weather, After travel in far lands. After touch of welded hands Why thus joined? Why ever met, If they must be strangers yet?
 Strangers yet.
 After strife for common ends. After title of "old friends" After passions fierce and tender. After cheerful self-surrender. Hearts may beat and eyes be met And the souls be strangers yet.
 Strangers yet, o. the bitter thought to scan All the loneliness of man Nature by magnetic laws Circle unto circle draws. But they only touch when met, Never mingle-strangers yet. Richard NJ. sIilnes.

MARKET IMPROV ED
SUPPLY OF VEGETABLES ON
STANDS INCREASES.

There has been decided Improvement In
the green goods market since last week;
not he'"green goods that interest the po-
lice but the kind that finds its way to the
dinner table. The increase in the supply
of vegetables has already made an improve
ment in the appearance of the market
stands. Lettuce was an unknown rommod-
ity for a few days because of the severe
frosts and cold weather in Florida. but
it is getting more plentiful and trifle
cheaper than it was short time ago.
The supply from Florida shows evil
dence of having been touched by the frost.
The prices asked for it ranges from 10 to
10 cents head. Spring onions. parsley
and other small green vegetables are more
plentiful and lower in price. Florida toma-
toes are as scarce as they We're ever known
al this season of the year HothouSe STOCK
is also scarce and high. California cauli-
flower and Florida beets are in demand.
Sweet potatoes are about played out and
North Carolina yams are taking their place.
Florida oranges are getting scarce ana
fruit from California will soon have to be
depended upon to supply the trade. Deaf
ers are getting some fine stock from the
latter place and the demand for the fruit
is greater. Pineapples are selling at from
10 to 30 cents each, grape fruit from to 10
cents, and Strawberries are from 30 10 60
cents a box. Apples plentiful and
cheaper than usual at this season.
Dealers in fish are anticipating some good
catches of shad and herring in the Potomac
in the near future Some few Shad have
been caught in the lower river and a few
catches of herring have also been made.
Herring brought 80 cents a dozen. Shad
from the Carolinas are selling a from 80
cents for bucks to GO cents and 81 for roes.
Potomac bass and perch are being caught
in small nets. The former selling at 15
cents a pound and the latter at from 10 to
10 cents. There some hard crabs in
market and they are TO be had for p cents
a dozen. Dealers are expecting soft crabs
in a few days. Fresh picked crab meat is
selling at 30 cents a quart. Fish from
southern waters are still plentiful and
cheap. There is very little game in mar
ket Quail are no longer in season. There
are plenty wild ducks and SQUADS but the
season for the ducks will close the last of
this month English pheasants are selling
at $1.25 each and Scotch plover are 81 a
dozen.
There is a gradual decline being shown
in the butter market and dealers think it
will be but a short time before there will
be a drop in the retail price of the dairy
product. There has been so many changes
in the egg market during the past few days
that dealers are afraid to predict the prices
twenty-four hours ahead. They are now
selling at from % to % cents a dozen. The
meat market is easy and lower prices are
expected in the near future. Spring lamb
and veal are high, but other meats the
dealers say, are reasonable. There has
been no change in the price of poultry
since last week.

LEGISLATIVE LEAGUE
FIFTH ANNUAL CONFERENCE
HELD LAST NIGHT.

/ The fifth annual conference of the
National Legislative League was held last
night at the Raleigh Hotel. The call for
the meeting was made by Mrs. Lille
Devereaux Blake, president of the league.
In it she stated that ''the principal agitation
of the last year has been In behalf of the
citizenship of American women Senator
Platt of New York presented the memorial /,
from this que, and the late Senator Hoar
of Massachusetts prepared a bill which pro-
vided that a woman who had married an
alien might recover her citizenship after
such a union, if she so pleased This
measure was discussed in the judiciary
committee of the Senate and later in the
Senate itself, but was so distigured by
amendments that it was felt that ii had
better be dropped. This agitation has been
useful in drawing public attention to the
evils of existing conditions and it is hoped
that next year with a new Congress we
may secure a decision that a woman has
precisely the same rights to citizenship as
man, and cannot lose them unless she
chooses voluntarily to resign them
In her opening remarks Mrs Blake stated
that March IL had been fixed for the con-
ference because the new United States Sen
ate is in session and the national mothers
congress is holding its tilenniai convention
here. oo
She said the league organized in l9co
with sixteen states represented In founu-
ing the organization she said she was I'M
PEELED largely by what she considers as
an injustice that women of the United
States must lose their citizenship when
they marry foreigners. AS case in point,
she cited that of Nellie Grant Sartoris.
Resolutions were adopted to the effect that
memorials shall be presented to Congress
until the law shall be that a woman who
is once a citizen of the United States shf
always remain SO unless She shall acqui.e
citizenship elsewhere.
Mrs Bronx, elected yesterday as secre-
tary for the national congress of moth
ers gave a report for Connecticut; Mrs.
Belva A Lockwood and Mrs. Coope for the
District of Columbia; Mrs. Purves for
Pennsylvania, Miss Groth for New York
city and Mrs Kicker for New Hampshire.
Mrs Kicker said that while her state -
Loyalty republican there are very many
New Hampshire women who entirely dis
agree with President Roosevelt regarding
his opinions on the whipping post
Those at the conference included Mrs.
Lille Devereaux Blake, New York; Mira
John p. Bronx, Bridgeport, Conn; Mrs.
Edward Austin Tuttle, New York; Mrs.
Marilla M. Kicker, New Hampshire; Mrs.
