feet on Prices.

Eggs, which have commanded fancy
prices for six weeks or two months, are
at last on the decline and have dropped
IL cents a dozen wholesale in the last ten
days. About the middle of last week the
best grade of Virginia and Maryland
eggs was selling in large lots at the
commission houses on Louisiana avenue
at 40 cents q dozen. This morning the
same eggs were quoted In the local whole
sale market at % cents a dozen, and the
dealers say the bottom has not been
reached as long as the mild weather con-
tinues.
Poultry Of all kinds, which has been
ranging very high for several weeks, is
also on the decline. and even at the lower
prices the wholesale dealers report the
demand light. Turkeys. chickens and
hens have dropped from to cents a
pound from the prices quoted in the early
part of this week. This morning dressed
turkeys. the best of them, could be
bought for p cents a pound.
There Is a general tendency toward
lower prices on most food products. due
to the warm spell. and the difficulty the
dealers are having In keeping stock over

The State Department is being flooded

A plan to- establish national forest

lined by William NJ. Ellicott in an address

and monuments OF the city proper.

In the closing paragraph the opinion
says: There Is no pretense that this
endowment Is for any charitable or ar
tistic or educational purpose. Neither
charity, nor art. nor education have any
place In the scheme whatever. The tesla
trix designed to create a vast and per-
petual endowment for the purpose or
promoting and extending the religion

It was just such perpetual endowment in
the hands OF a single church for the prop
agation of avn form OF religious belief
that the statutes of New Hampshire and
Massachusetts, designed to make impos-
statutes fix the stamp OF nullity upon the
residuary clause. Cd because the testatrix
was forbidden expressly to make such
gift; Cd because the legatee was forbid
den expressly to receive such gift. The
legal result inevitably Is that the residu-
airy clause of the will is null and void.
AS to the void gift the testatrx died

on her death to her next Of kin under
the New Hampshire statutes OF distribu-

There will be no claim made that the
heirs at law of the testatrix ever saw
her WILL or copy OF 1t, prior to her
death. Neither her heirs nor their rep
resentatives were Informed as to its con-

Equal to Big Outdoor Affairs.

The Royal and Adams circus is said to
be the largest and most complete indoor
circus ever presented to the public. 1t is
an amalgamation of the Rhoda Royal
and Tom H. Adams aggregations, both
of which have made their mark as in
door entertainments. 1t is said to give
an entertainment equal in all respects to
that Of the big tented outdoor circuses
Of the day. The money that would have
to be invested in tents and outdoor para
phernalia, it is claimed. has been put in
the attractions themselves, and at its en-
tertainment will be found the thrill. the
excitement. the laughter and the surprise
to make every one satisfied. The hall
will be brilliantly lighted and heated. and
the seating capacity, it is assured, will be
adequate and comfortable.

pie more or less. are ardent and enthu-
siastic advertisers Of the enterprise, 1t Is
said, and the guarantee of Almas Temple

Need Of a Commission.


"A commission should be appointed and a
maximum price fixed by act Of Congress, so
that tracts which are offered may be ac-
quired from time to time. The forestry de-
partment should study the replanting Of GER
tain parts. and an art commission should
plan for the maximum of beauty and
utility, which are often lost for want Of q
little skillful handling. This phase Is
fully discussed in the memoirs of the late
Charles Eliot of Boston. the father OF
the metropolitan park system.
Water courses can often be improved
and artificial lakes may be made as beau
tifu1 as natural ones. The attraction Of
the woods Is often enhanced by the erec-
ton Of suitable buildings. The character
chateau would not be out Of keeping and
the taste of future generations might re-
auire formal as well as natural silvi-
culture.
