AT PEOPLES EXPENSE.
Waiting Station on Railway Cross
ing to Be Built by Subscription.

The residents OF Capitol Heights and
Paramount Heights, in the extreme east
ern section of the District, have started
a movement to raise funds by public
subscription to defray the expense of
erecting a waiting station at the 61st
street crossing of the Washington Elec-
trio railway. That is just at the District
line and is an important station for many
residents of the immediate vicinity in
Maryland as we'll as in the District.
At a recent meeting Of representatives
of the Capitol Heights and Paramount
Heights Citizens Associations it was re-
ported that nearly all the money needed
had been raised and that renewed efforts
would be made to secure the balance.
Among those present were Messrs.
George A. Adams, F. Goldman, J. A..
Campbell, John Gabreal, B. H Sanderson
and W. II. McGinniss.
The building will be put up by volunteer
labor and will contain the usual conven-
fences. The District Commi ssioners have
consented to it's construction.

EGGS STILL DROP.
Selling at Wholesale as Low as Is
Cents Dozen.

Eggs. In the wholesale market, are from
cent to cents a dozen cheaper today
than they were yesterday. Fresh ones
from the surrounding counties of Mary
land and Virginia. laid within the last day
or two. sell at Is cents per dozen. and
those from southwest Virginia. West Vir-
ginia and Tennessee bring ID cents per
dozen. This decline has not yet reached
the retail market and today eggs in most
OF the stores are selling at retail for
about - cents per dozen.
The commission men along Louisiana
avenue say that the bottom of the egg
market has been reached, and that they
look for a higher market within the next
few days. This is probably the lowest
price at which nearby country eggs have
sold in the market in the past few years.
A year go they were quoted at 26 to q
cents per dozen. and two months ago
about the time the market began to de-
cline they were selling at from 3S to 80
cents per dozen wholesale.

JINGLE EDITOR REPLIES
TO ANXIOUS QUERIES
Rhymesters Are Kept Busy
Striving for Star Want
Adj Prizes.

Being a Jingle Editor Is something like
conducting heart-to-heart-talks corner
on a family poultry -advice-and-
| current-price magazine. Every one wants
you to call them up and suggest rhyme
for advertisement" or insertion, or
some other common word like that 1t
is great deal of fun, though the jingle
editor will have to put his foot down hard
on the telephone part OF it. That would
be far too much.
However, a few simple questions might
be answered in this column today. Thus:
Miss Annie E. k No. The logical
rhyme for ignorant is not Indignant -
Young Hpling-''Danny Deever'' is not
a jingle.
poetry.
P. ]. H.-The lost-and-found wallet of
money verse is serial No. 1243567S9 Try
another theme.
A. c. S.-Too busy to call: will write.
r. F. P.-The Jingle Editor would like
| to see you for an hour SO, but the mail
is too heavy. Write your jingle on a pos
tai card and try not to- say anything
being glad" just for the sake of making
it rhyme with Star Want Ad." All
verses like that are piled in one big pile
and do not get half SO good show for
the daily dollar as some Of the others.
One of the letters to the Jingle Editor
came from Amos F. Towne, who wrote
two jingles a few days ago. and who
sent his photograph taken with Samuel
Lone Bear He writes to say he was
with Gen. Custer in 1866. 1867 1868 and
1869. and that he is to send copies of his
printed jingles to his Indian friends in
South Dakota. Amos Towne is now liv-
ing at Soldiers Home.
Jingles Like Mr.. Jingle.
Some of the really good jingles which
came near to the prize today were ex-
tremely original. For instance, w. H.
| Moore's four-line piece of work:
John McEwen, nothing doing,
Mixing mortar done by steam;
Star Want Ad-not so bad,
Two per day driving team
This jingle talked in jerks like the i'm
mortal Mr.. Jingle in "Pickwick"
Miss Marion Mays verse was within
an ace of the prize:
You can scott and you can sheer,
1ou can grin and you can bet
That there's not much in this world
That a Star Want Ad won't get
William d. Little Forest Glen, is also
jinglist:
Miss Snifty said to herself one day:
think I'll take a boarder'
She put want ad. in The Star,
And got one in short ORDER
| Miss Agnes kennedys verse is one of
| the best received SO far:
when babys nurse has gone away.
How hard my lot seems for day;
| But quickly woe is turned to JOY
For Wanted. nurse for one small boy,
Brings needed help at eventide,
For Stars spread such news far and wide

the way they watch through their bars
when the crowd turns backs to them,
ONLY tn watch those ridiculous and I'M

Hi watched them for han our Sunday.
and Hi can warn any one In charge that
those north monkeys hare growing daily
more yeaked and sad, and hall on ac-
count of this jealousy. The people should
pay attention more to the aristocrats
OF the monkey house and less to the rab-
ble or they will be losing some very fine
