To the Editor Of the Evening Star;
VIII you kindly publish the follow
ing article in your progressive paper
how the Italian ice dealers nave
formed a combination to fleece the
Door by refusing to sell a five-cent
piece of ice. Last evening | received
a piece from the ice man. near me on
Flame street and it weighed eight
pounds, and he charged me ten cents
for 1t and told me ice had gone up
to 50 a ton. I tried another italian
and he made the same complaint and
said no one would sell afive-cent
pieces. Now, after a thorough in
vestieation I find the Italians are
paying IS a ton for ice, which is at
the rate of twenty-five cents hun
dred pounds.
Now. allowing the Italian SIS ton
profit the ice would stand him sc
cents a hundred, and Decent piece
at 80 cents hundred ought to weigh
20 pounds instead of pounds, as
they are giving, which is equal to
$25 a ton for what only cost them So
OF course there is little waste, but
no one kicks over pound of ice
and they lose no money, as they
never trust any one. If this is not
highway robbery ] don't know what
is. ] am able to buy 81 worth of ice
every day if | needed it, but think ii
a shame that some one does not dc
something to enlighten the poor peo-
pie in need of ice.
Respectfully yours,

| spite of her beauty the affections OF
| Lycus turned from mother to daughe

Lycus and especially Dirce treated
Antiope is one of the great scandals
of Greek mythology.
Antiope, who could not stand the
humiliation, fled to the mountains.
There she had two sons by Jupiter

When they grew up the brothers

Dirce had done their mother Antiope,
and they decided to punish the guilty
pair. SO they marched against
Thebes." 1t doesn't seem to be clear
whether they had an army behind
them or whethey they took the city
double handed, so to speak. 1t must
be remembered that they were sons
of Jupiter, and if that all-powerful
god was on their side they were pre-
pared to overcome any difficulty.
At any rate, all the authorities
agree that Amphion and Zethus did
capture Thebes. They put Lycus to
death promptly: but Amphion thought
that Dirce did not deserve a sudden.

who dragged her about until she per-

full appeal to the ancient artists and

the moment of the death of Dirce.
1t is an epic in marble on the punish
ment deserved by an ungrateful child.
After the death of Dirce, Amphion
is credited with the most remarkable
feat of music and engineering ever
recorded. He and his brother decided
to fortify Thebes, inasmuch as they
concluded to rule it themselves. The
narratives seem to agree that all he
had to do was to walk around the
city, play his Tyre, and the stones
