 CLASS TILL LENT.

Division No. 1, A. O. H., will make their bow to the public this evening when they open their ten night Hlber- nian carnival at Lincoln ball room in the Taylor building in Cannon street.
 When the spectators gaze upon the beautiful interior of Lincoln ball room they will see at a glance the weeks of hard work and banning that the various committees have gone through that their efforts might meet with pop ular approval.
 Throughout the carnival the enter tainment committee will arrange with various fraternal organizations in ana out of the city for so-called "fraternal night, when special attractions for the visiting brothers and friends will be put on.
 This is the first time that a Hiber- nian carnival has been held in this city in years.

 MAY ABANDON THE
 GARBAGE CONTRACT
MAYOR BUCKINGHAM AND SPEC IAL COMMITTEE TAKE STEPS TO MEET NEW SITUATION.

The special committee which mas been considering the garbage disposal problem reported at a special meeting of the Board of Health last night that the Bridgeport By-Products Company will probably abandon it's contract dur ing the fiscal year, and suggested the addition to the special committee of the presidents of the Ma Manufacturers' Association, Board of Trade anw Busl- ness Mems Association.
 The rerort follows:
 We the undersigned. who were ap- pointed a special committee by your board to consider the matter of the disposal of the city's garbage, would respectfully report that we have had several meetings, and from our inves- legations we are led to believe that if the Board of Apportionment and Taxa ton shall refuse to appropriate for the purpose of purchasing the plant of the Bridgeport By-Product Co.,, it is quite probable that the company will, dur ing the next fiscal year, abandon it's contract with the city for the reduc- ton of garbage.
 ''Under these conditions the problem becomes a very serious one, viewed not cnIy from the standpoint of health and comfort of the community, but IS well when considered as a financial UnO0TtdkllS lOE luS ClIy. COllie dOAh- ite conc usion ought to be reached be- fore the appropriations are made for the next fiscal year. We feel that on account of the importance of the ques- ton your committee ought to be en- larged. We believe that more sat- isfactory recommendation in the mat ter would thus be made. Our sugges-. tion to you is that you request the presidents of the three bodies. the Board of Trade, the Manufacturers Association and the Business Mems Association, to act with on this committee. We are confident that these men, recognizing the importance of the question, will feel that they have public duty to perform in rem dering the city this service and will consent to act.''
 (Signed) Edward T. Buckingham. Dr. G. E.. Ober, Thomas M. Cullinan. A meeting of the enlarged commit tee will be held Monday afternoon next at o'clock at the office of Mayor Buckingham.

 May Use;

l. Washington. Jan. 28.-It is easily possible to tell the difference between a fresh egg and a cold storage egg without breaking the shell. and dealers in the District of Columbia who sell stored eggs as strictly fresh'' ones may be prosecuted and convicted, ac- cording to statements of Dr. Harvey W. Wiley, the governments chief chemist, at the Thigh cost of living" hearing being conducted by a House subcommittee.
 Dr. Wiley brought with him a large number of fresh eggs and also some of the cold storage variety. Dropping them into a large vessel of water con- taining ten per cent salt solution, the fresh eggs immediately sank to the bottom and the refrigerated ones floated on the surface. When asked how he knew the eggs were fresh Dr. Wiley replied that one of his inspec- tors watched the hens lay them yes terday,
