AMPLE SUPPLY OF OYSTERS.
Large Fleet in Port Ready to Dis
charge Cargo.

A large fleet Of oyster-laden boats IS
lying at the wholesale oyster wharf at
the root OF 18th street southwest, and
While there is nothing like glut in the
market, the supply on hand is ample to
last several days. This morning the fleet
lying at the wharf aggregated twenty
five vessels, but the cargoes aboard them
are small. and It was estimated that al
together there were less than 10, GOO BUSH
els aboard the entire fleet.
The bulk Of the vessels at the wharf
have not been in port forty-eight hours
and the condition and quality of the stock
on hand is said to be excellent. In con-
sequence Of the ample supply the prices
OF the bivalves have dropped somewhat
and this morning the market ranged
from 40 to 90 cents per bushel for good
Potomac stock, and select bay and river
stock could be bought at from 20 cents
to 81 per bushel.
The demand is good. Vessels are ar
irving daily with fresh supplies from
the lower Potomac beds.

HEBREWS TO OBSERVE
THE FEAST OF LOTS
Story Told in the Book of
Esther to Be Commence
rated in Synagogues.

The Jewish holiday OF Purim or the
feast OF lots, the story of which lis told
in the biblical book OF E.esther, will be
observed next Sunday and Monday by the
Eighth Street Temple congregation. The
Adas Israel and other Jewish congregations
will also observe the event. On the first
date there will be a special service for
the children i'm the morning in the vestry
of the Eighth Street Temple. and on the
evening of the following day the children
of the Sabbath school will be given
masquerade ball by the Ladies' Auxiliary
Society Of the Temple.
Story Of the Feast.
The story of the feast as given out by
the central conference of American rabbis
Is as follows:
During the fifth century. B. c.. the Jews
were living happily under Persian rule.
Mordecai, who sat in the kings gate as a
proof of his loyalty 40 the realm. had
incurred the hatred of the prime minister
Hannah, before whom he refused to bow
in s'ervile obeisance. To Mordecai such
bending Of the knee was slavery and
idolatry. Haman construed 1t not as a
purely disloyalty to the crown. subse-
quent events, which demonstrated Nor
decafs loyalty of the king, whose life
he saved. only served to add fuel to Ha-
mans determination to wreak vengeance
upon him. His plan involved not only
the discontinue of his arch enemy by
means Of the gallows, but also the destruc-
ton of all the Jews In the kingdom of
127 provinces.
Esther Reveals the Plot.
The drawing Of lots selected the four
teenth day of Adar as the most auspi-
cious day for the wholesale slaughter of
the innocents. Throwing aside the court
amenities, Esther boldly enters the re-
gal presence of the king; after two un-
successful attempts, she rises to her
queenly dignity and grandeur, and re-
veals the plot and perfidy of Haman to
the king, her royal spouse. Hannah dug
his own pit Salvation and enlargement
came. Jewish womanhood and manhood
asserted itself The fourteenth day of
Adar was set aside for annual rejoicing.
and was called Purim, the feast Of lots.
Gifts were exchanged and portions We're
sent to the poor. Today the feast has be-
come even more than formerly, day of
domestic and social enjoyment. 1t has
grown to be especially CHI ldren's feast.
In the synagogue the book of Esther
is read, and invariably. as during the
middle ages, collection is made for
philanthropic causes.

Cuticura soap, assisted by Cuticura ointment
