tally for Philadelphian.

After an illness of several months George
\. Castor, member OF Congress from the
Third Philadelphia district, died yesterday
afternoon at his home, In Solly street.
IIolmesburg. Mr.. Casters health broke
early in the winter when his nerves became
shattered Complications set IN, and for
the past week 1t has been known that he
could not recover. He suffered a sudden
relapse yesterday morning and died soon
after his family had been called to his bed
side.
He was born In Philadelphia in August,
1855. He was educated In the public schools
and went into business when quite young
man.
He was a member OF the republican city

GRANITE STATE PARTISANS.
Praises of New Hampshire From Her
Loyal Sons.

The New HAMPSHIRE Association of this
city met last evening al go 9th street north
west and stories pertaining to the old
Granite state were told and retold for
the entertainment of the guests. Mr. Frank
d. Currier, one of New Hampshires repre-
sentatives In Congress. spoke on Admiral
John Paul JONES' briefly reviewing the
record OF that illustrious sailor, who Is
claimed by New Hampshire as one of her
sons. Speeches were made by other ma
tives of the state, music was furnished by
a quartet composed of n. T. Meyer. c. w.
Birdwell, A. c. Clough and 3. \. Lineback,
after which refreshments Were served.
1T is fitting said Representative Cur
rier, in his address, that we should honor
the memory of john Paul Jones, for he
spent more of his time in New Hampshire
than he did in any of the other colonies,
except Virginia. The first American flag to
float on the was made by the girls OF
Portsmouth from their own silk dresses
That flag sank in victory with the Bon
Homrne Richard
Jones was not only the true founder of
the American navy, but he was the first to
fly an American flag on the high seas, and
he was also the first to cause it to be
saluted by foreign powers. Jones himself
said:
THAT flag and I are twins born at the
same time IN tine womb of destiny. We
will never be separated in life, nor will we
in death "
Mr.. Currier declared that John Paul Jones
never was a privateer and that when he
died, July s, 1892, the French government
provided a public funeral for him. Mr.. Cur
rier referred to Jones wonderful career on
the seas and told of his manner of assert
ing his authority on all occasions, He said
that the information given the Continental
Congress by Jones concerning the establish
ment of a navy was of inestimable value,
nor can the influence of the naval hero be
overestimated in his work of alternating Hol-
land and England at a critical period of
American history.
The scenes attending the battle between
the Bon Homme Richard and the Scraps
were recited by Mr.. Currier, and he de-
clared that much of the credit for this vic
tory should go to a New Hampshire man.
At a critical moment in the fight George
Roberts of Middletown, N. H, boarded the
Scraps and dropped hand grenade into
the ammunition, which caused the terrific
explosion. And 1t was Roberts who dar-
ingly hauled down the British flag from the
mast of the Scraps.

HENS DOING THEIR DUTY.
Gratifying Drop Noted in the Price
of Eggs

Hens throughout the country are now
doing their duty. and there are more eggs
coming from nearby points in Maryland
and Virginia to this market than have been
arriving for several years" was the state
ment of a prominent produce dealer on
Louisiana avenue today. 1t Is the opinion
of the dealers that eggs are likely to stay
down in price. The best grade of eggs Sat-
urday morning dropped to fourteen cents
per dozen wholesale, and are still at that
figure. and eggs from distance can be
bought even cheaper than that. This Is the
first time eggs have reached this low price
for about two years, and It Is due, 1t Is be-
lieyed, to the open winter, allowing the hens
to continue laying.
Western cold storage eggs are not quoted
on the market at all, and those who are
posted say that the men who last summer
and fall bought up eggs and put them in
cold storage, expecting to reap harvest
when the high prices came this winter, will
be thousands of dollars out OF pocket by
the fact that the hens did not go on their
usual strike this year. On tho market eggs,
sold in large quantities. are quoted at four
teen cents for nearby Virginia, and jobbers'
prices are fifteen and sixteen cents per
dozen. They can be bought almost any
where In the city at prices ranging from
eighteen to twenty-five cents per dozen re-
tail.

The vacancies in the cabinet probably Will

In leaving the department of commerce,
NJ Timiriazeff has severed his connection

Miss KteMeU0noId|

More than likely you speak the same
words yourself, and no doubt you feel
far from we'll. The cause may be easily
traced to some arrangement of the fe
male organs which manifests itself in
depression of spirits, reluctance to go
anywhere or do anything, backache,
bearing-down pains, flatulency, nerv-
business, sleeplessness, or other fe-
male weakness.
These symptoms are but warnings
that there is danger ahead, and unless
needed life of suffering or a serious
operation is the inevitable result.
The never. failing remedy for all these
symptoms is Lydia E. Pinkham's Veg
etable Compound.
Miss Kate Mcdonald of Woodbridge,
n. j., writes:
Dear Mrs. Pinkham:
"Restored health has meant so much to mo
that l cannot help from telling about it for
the sake of other suffering women.
" For long time | suffered untold agony
with female trouble and Irregularities,
which made me physical wreck, and no ono
thought would recover, but Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound has entirely
cured me, and made me we'll and strCng, and
| feel it my duty to tell other suffering women
what splendid medicine it is
For twenty-five years Mrs. Pinkham,
daughter-in of Lydia E. Pinkham,
has under her direction and since her
decease, been advising sick women free
of charge. Her advice is free and
always helpful. Address, Lynn, Mass.
