Others do not know that when they
boast about the fine lamb they are

with kid meat instead. Our people
hold in high favor certain products

This word has the same magic effect
upon lamb prices that the word "Phil-
adelphia" has upon spring poultry or
that of "Long Island" upon fresh eggs.
The housewife, too, in many parts Of

derived from the fat. On the contrary,
in some European countries there is a
preference for the darker-skinned
chickens. a curious preference, en-
tirely u~nassociated with tastes, is the
color of eggs. While in Boston brown
eggs sell for a cent or two per dozen
more than white eggs. the contrary is
true i'll New York. and if one or two
dirty eggs are visible the price is still
lower. 1t is said that Chicago is indis-
eliminating in regard to the color of
eggs, but that San Francisco prefers
White ones.

Mayor Mcclellan had nothing to add
yesterday 70 the charge he made In his
veto Of the bills taking from the Aldermen
franchise-granting powers that representa-
tives Of the Pennsylvania Company had told
him the bills would be passed over MS head
II he vetoed them and that he was asked TO
act promptly 30 as not 'needlessly' to pro-
long the session Of the Legislature which
would not be permitted 10 adjourn un til
the bills had been repassed
Al places where Republican and Demo-
cratic politicians meet the greatest curl
osity was expressed yesterday as to the
identity Of the Pennsylvania Railroad men
who had been to see the Mayor. Mayor
Mcclellan refused yesterday TO answer
anytime ~ EAQNDAthis,s,steot
Before he says anything further the
Mayor will wait to ascertain II the Penn
sylvania officials have any reply to make,
Should they deny the truth Of what he has
stated. or that he was waited upon by any
one represen ting the company, then the
Mayor will have some more interesting
things to make public.
There are only two men living here who
are qualified to speak for the Pennsylvania
company. They are Edward NJ. Shepard,
special counsel 10 the company. and Vice
President Samuel Rsa, who u stationed
here TO look after the construction Of the
Pennsylvania tunnel. MIR. Rea was said
to be in Philadelphia yesterday, while Mr..
Shepard was one Of Robert G. Ogden s
party, which was wrecked in South Caro-

curtsiling the power Of the Board Of Alder
men in the matter Of granting franchises
by four Republicans and independent eX.
members Of the board, Herbert Parso ms

TeCumseh Sherman. They admit that the
boards iniquities are many and that per

hold that this circumst ance should not
stampede the public into adopting a radi-
cal and wrong remedy They compare
the State Legislature with the Aldermen
and say that in many ways IL has been more
dilatory, yet no proposition has ever been
seriously made TO abolish the Legislature
OF deprive Il OF its control over franchises
and vest its Dowers in a small body com

Booker 7. Warrington was the guest Of
the University Club at its clubhouse, Hanson
place and South Elliott place, Brooklyn,
last night, The house was crowded and a
cordial reception was rendered the negro
educator Mr.. Washington. after being In
troduoed by President 0unnison, delivered
an address on the negro problem.
He SAID there was class Of whites in the
South, men OF intelligence, refinement and
wealth, who were studying the problem
a class that was growing and a class that
would yet be heard from and who we're
at the present time doing effective work.
There are ten millions Of Us right in
your midst he said. you measure US
by your progress, a pretty stih standard
II you should measure US by the Latin
standard there would not be much trouble.
II has been said that the negro Is an imitator
but he never initiates the Chinaman or
the Filipino. When we catch up with you
there'il be no one ahead Of us. Thirty
per cent. Of the Italians are illiterate; 80
per cent. Of the Spaniards are illiterate;
10 per cent. Of the Russians are iliterate
and among the average South American
countries at least so per cent. are ignorant
and illiteRte. But they belong TO races
centuries old. After only forty years
only 50 per cent. Of the negro race u
illiterate. Do you know Of any such
progress in ali history that begins to
compare with it1 We own at the present
time $500 900, 900 Of property and in Georgia
alone last year we paid Sl7 900 900 taxes
