Chicago club women have bought
ten carloads of eggs to place on sale
today in an attempt to break the re-
tail price.
A movement to reduce the price Of
eggs in every city in the country %
25c or less a dozen was started today
by tie National executive committee
of the Housewives League of Ameri-
ca. An appeal was addressed to ev-
cry state chairman and local city pres
ident of the league, urging them to
join in the movement in an effort 10
make the campaign general.
Leaders all over the country were
urged to begin their crusade by ap-
pealing to dealers in their immediate
locality. This plan follows the meth
ods adopted in Greater New York, as
result of which the league announc
ed today that three of the largest gro
Gerry firms, controlling places in ev-
cry part of the city, had acceded to
the demands of the housewives for
cheaper eggs and had cut the price
to 25c dozen.
Other dealers are expected by the
women to follow the lead of the big
houses tomorrow All of the stall deal
ers in the washington market, one OF
the oldest public produce markets In
the city, today notified Mrs. Julian
Heath, national president Of the
league, she announced that they would
meet the lower price Of 25c dozen.
With the price of eggs uniformly
low, the league leaders here propose
to extend their campaign to include
other food products, probably making
their next campaign for cheaper but

GREAT SEAL Of
CONFEDERACY
BURIED IN OBLIVION SNCE 1877
STORY OF ITS DISCOVERY IN
MAY OF THIS YEAR.
(By V. Merkle.)

Wy ~ NiSi 'NAN'l
Washington, Dec. 1S.-For more
than forty years-from 1872 until
May of this present year-the Great
Seal of the Confederate States was
mysteriously lost in this city and
the search Of hundreds of veterans
intimately connected with the for
mer Confederate government was
vain.
All hope of ever seeing the EN-
blem of sovereignty again had van
ished, when Gaillard Hunt, chler OIL
the division of prints In the Library
of Congress, discovered clue last
January. In the papers of Col John
T. Pickett in the archives of the
Library he found much valuable
material relating to the Confederate
government and note to the eff
feet that the writer had entrusted
the possession of the Great Confel-
crate Seal to Rear Admiral, then
Capt. Thomas O. Sefridge,U. S. ~,
who now resides at 1S47 Kalorama
road northwest, this city.
Rear Admiral Selfridge frankly
acknt wledged he had the seal when
approached and told the circum-
stances under which he came into
the possession OF it. Col. J. T.
Pickett had been given the great
seal by the Hon. Judah p. Benja-
min, the Confederate secretary of
state at the time when Richmond
was evacuated by Lees army. He
succeeded in preventing it falling
into the hands of the enemy. He
was later employed to sell the rec
ords of the Confederate state de-
partment, and in 1872, the United
States government purchased these
records for $4,000, after having
them carefully examined by Self
ridge. For his services Captain
Selfridge was given the Great Seal
by Colonel Pickett, after every one
acquainted with the transaction was
pledged to secrecy by the most SOL
emn Masonic oath.
Without break the seal was in
the possession of Rear Admiral Self
ridge from 1872 until the present
year. The latter's reason for not
revealing the whereabouts years
ago was not only the oath under
which he was bound, but also be-
cause the United States government
had an entire right to seize the
seal If it chose to do so.
When its whereabouts was made
public last May, committee of
Southerners, comprising Eppa Hun
ton, Jr., William II. White, and
Thomas p Bryan offered to pur-
chase the great SEAL and their Of
fer was agreed too. 1t is now in
the keeping of the Confederate ma
tional museum at Richmond, Va.
The Great Seal is of massive
silver, surmounted by heavy ivory
handle, bearing on its margin line
the words: Engraved by J. S.
Wyon, 2S6 Regent street, London"
and having embedded in the silver a
hieroglyphic hall mark of four en-
blems with the initials j. S. w. II

is fitted in a wooden packing case

ernment about 500

The democrat knew that the invisible

though il were an unruly child and by
the very force and power of his great
Office aided and abetted in the consOlida-

all the. time o. the campaign oratory of
both Theodore Roosevelt and Albert J..
Beveridge that though the voice might
be the vo.ce of Jacob, the hand was the
hand of Esau.
1t shall reveal an amazing lack of dis
elimination ON the part of the American
people if they choose as their agents to
destroy this invisible government these
gentlemen who never discovered its eX-
istence until after they had been retired
from office. Conversion is good thing
but in no church that | know of do they
