The Opera House.

'The hunger for brotherhood is at the
bottom of the unrest of the civilized
world" This quotation from George
Frederic Watts is one of the thoughts on
which Charles Ram Kennedy has based
his great play. The Servant in The
House, which will be presented at the
Grand Opera House on Jan. 23rd. TAX
ing this as his thesis, Mr.. Kennedy has
shown that only the real and abiding
happiness which can come to any hu-
man being in his work-a-day world
comes through unselflsh love and devo-
tion to the service of his fellow men. II
is really remarkable company which
Merle H. Norton is offering; and it has
everywhere been pronounced the great
est company of players ever sent out oi
New York. Victor f. Lambe will be
seen in the title roe and the origina
New York production will be used.

Governor Sulzer For Equal
Suffrage.

The new Democratic Governor of New
York, former Congressman Sulzer, is a
man after the suffragettes' own hearts.
de is in full sympathy with the move
ment to give women equal suffrage and
not only recommended it in his message
to the Legislature, but told the delega-
tion of women suffragists who walked
from New York to Albany to see him
that he was heartily for equal suffrage
as matter of justice and that in the
future, as in the past. he would do all
in his power to secure it.
Coming from a man like Governor
Sulzer this is significant and seems cum
ulative of the probability that within
the present decade women will be cloth
ed with full suffrage in all of the states.
A great many people entertain the same
opinion as Governor Sulzer, but they
have not the courage to give such full
and frank expression of it. The Cover
nor's distinguished career in Congress,
where he was regarded as wise coun-
cilor in national affairs, and his selec-
tion by so great a majority for Governor
of New York give his utterances great
weight and the advocates of equal suf-
frage feel greatly elated.
The writer has never been as, ardent
an advocate OF women suffrage as his
distinguished superior, but he cannot
ignore the fact that in those states in
which women have been given equal
suffrage rights there has been bene-
fetal effect on public affairs. Women
can always be depended on to stand on
the side of honesty and morality and
where they are a factor in the election
of officials their votes and their influence
have been felt in an improvement in the
administration of the government.-W
P Walton in Lexington Herald.

Women Seek Job In Wilson's
Cabinet.

Two women have been proposed foI
places in the Cabinet of President elect
Wilson, one of them for the portfolio oi
Secretary of War. This disclosure was
made when Mr.. Wilson was asked il
the suffragettes had suggested any
names of women for Cabinet positions.

such requests" he replied.
The recommendations were made in
a general way, but one did urge q par

LARGE CITY MARKETS
Aucksters, Grocers and Fruit
Growers Have Place.
Early Opening of Place Is Advan-
tageous to Growers, as it Allows
Them to Dispose of Their
Produce Promptly.

A city market is a very interesting
place to visit, from several points of
view. The description of one in a
city of $50, 900 inhabitants is here
given. From three hundred to seven
hundred wagons are at this market
every morning. The market covers
ten acres. The land is divided into
Streets" which are cement walks
along which the wagons are backed.
These streets are divided into stalls,
which are seven feet wide; there are
marks on the cement where h wag-
on wheels must be. By placing the
wagons properly, in this way, it allows
a passageway between the wagons.
Every class of growers and every
class of buyers has a place of it's own.
The hucksters, grocers, fruit growers
and truck growers each have a place,
and each must stay on its own street.
A grower is allowed, however, to
bring both fruit and vegetables.
A rental is charged for the stalls,
the renter who pays so much a year
having his permanent place. Part OF
the stalls are covered and these, being
the more desirable, bring a larger
price than the open stalls.
All fees and rents go into the city
treasury. The receipts for five months
last year we're: April, $2,263.90; May,
ST. $50; June, $1,796.95; July,
$9O1.75; August, $1,02S.05. The money
for the salaries Of those who have
charge of the market, and other ex-
penses, is appropriated out of the city
treasury. AS these expenses do not
equal the receipts, the city makes a
nice little profit.
The market opens at four o'clock in
the morning, and most of the whole
sales sales are made before $50. This
is an advantage to the growers, be-
cause it allows them to dispose Of
their produce promptly. The wagons
begin to arrive on the market soon
after midnight.
The fruit and vegetables usually
are in excellent condition, for they are
picked the afternoon before. The
early market is mostly a wholesale
proposition. Some fruit and vege-

DIFFERENT USES FOR EGGS
Large Quantities Are Used by Calico
Printers, Coffee Roasters and
Photographic Trades.

It is said that the calico printers use
more than 10000. 900 dozens Of eggs
leach year and that the coffee roasters
and Photographic trades, the cracker
and biscuit combines and the chemical
trades consume more than twice as
many. Large quantities are also used
in the leather trades for tanning. etc.
They are also largely used in the prep
aration Of many patent foods and the
liquor trade takes no inconsiderable
number. For many of these uses in
ferior grades,o OF eggs are used-not be-
cause they are better, but because
they are cheaper. One biscuit COM
pany in New York city buys 100000
eggs every week.
