PRICES OF EGGS
BEGIN A DECLINE
Local Merchant Declares For
eign Importation Is Cause
OF Reduction.

Eggs arc falling in price. both
wholesale and retail. Local commiaz
sion merchants give as the cause q
the reduction the heavy importation
from Europe and Asia, 500, 600 cases
having been received in New York last
Friday
e. NJ. Burmeister. of Droste & Sny-
der, 50 Mulberry street, today said
1.-THE price of strictly fresh eggs has
dropped nine cents in the last three
days-the best grade, which was
wholesalng for fifty-one cents
dozen. is now bringing forty-two
cents dozen. The prices of storage
eggs have not been affected.
This reduction in price is due to
the heavy imports of European eggs,
and the mild weather which had pre-
vailed in the South has caused the
hens to lay, with the result that hun
dreds of cases have been received in
the Eastern market from that sec
ton
Mr. Burmeister added that he
thought the price would be further
reduced as the future supply APP
peared plentiful and would equal the
demand.
NJ. Augenblicls, of 16 Commerce
street, expressed the opinion that the
bottom price of eggs had been
reached and that in the near future
the prices would soar sSyward He
said:
THE price of fancy white eggs has
been reduced from sixty-three cents
dozen to fifty-eight cents dozen,
and Western mixed eggs are reduced
from forty-six cents to forty-three
cents a dozen.
"The price of eggs is not kept up
by any trust. A shortage in the sup
ply caused the high prices. In a re-
port from fifty-two warehouses
throughout the United States it is
shown that the supply on hand Is
GOO, 900 short of last seasons stock
Strictly fresh eggs, which ten
days ago sold for seventy
five. The price of fresh
eggs is fifty-two cents, and storage
eggs are bringing thirty-fve and
forty cents a dozen. there being no
change in the price of these grades.

Government Ownership of
Railway Postal Cars Urged

WASHINGTON, Dec. s-Govern-
ment ownership of railway postal cars
probably will be proposed in the an
uual postoffice appropriation bill,
which is about ready TO be reported
to the House with record breaking
aggregate of about $500 600. 600
When this subject was brought up
recently with Second Assistant Post
master-General Stewart on the stand
before the committee. it was pointed
out that wooden cars cost approx
mately $4,000 per car, and the new
modern steel type $4,000 each, and
that the government paid an annual
rental of approximately half the cost
1t was suggested however, that this
was not excessive in view of the
hauling and other expense to the
railroads. Action was deferred on
an item in the bill to appropriate for
a number of cars to be built and
owned by the government to replace
a similar number of postal cars now
rented from the railroads In the
meantime the committee has heard
representative Tuttle, of New Jer-
sey, member of a commission which
has been studying into the question
of government ownership of cars,

himself in making the complaint.
Mr. Clarke said that the charges are
baseless and were due to the persist

Niles.
That man has been prosecuting me
for years." said Mr.. Clarke.
In the lifetime of Irving w Childs

false charges. but these fell to the

FRIEND DUR|ES
PHOEBE COUz|NS
First Woman Lawyer and U. S.
Marshal Died Utterly
Destitute.

ST. LOUIS Dec. S.-Miss Phoebe
Couzins who was the first woman
lawyer in the United States the first
States marshal and the first woman
to be graduated from Washington
University, was buried here today.
With her was lowered into the grave
her most priced possession, the United
States marshal's badge of silver, pre-
sented by President Cleveland to her
father and upon his death to her
Miss Couzins died in poverty Sat
urday. She was seventy-two years
old. Her burial was provided for by
Mrs, William II. Thompson, wife of
banker, who in childhood was
Phoebe's playmate.
For several years Miss Couzins had
been untitled to take part in any ac-
tive political movement. but in the
days before disease struck her down
she was a firebrand in the Western
political world. She led more fights
than any woman in that part of the
country, and she led them with a
lighting spirit that made her a dan
gerouS enemy,
In 1905 she faced Governor Joseph
the Governors campaign for State
wide prohibition, leading a militant
movement for a regulated open sun
day" against the Governors drastic
demands Her views, yehemently eX-
pressed at that time, were that the
Sunday saloon was a great boon to the
working man and that the Governor
had no right TO strike 1T from the
workingman's life in the name OF
theoretical movement which had peen
proved in other States to be not only
impractical but harmful.
Miss CouZins, in recent years, hau
sought aid from the Federal govern
ment and from the breweries she ue-
Tended at the bar. She was not SUE
cessful in securing aid and struggled
through wears of poverty. All of the
time she was dying from lingering
and torturing disease. She never pe-
came pessimistic, though, but raced
the future bravely. She was o1ten
visited by old friends who had known
her when she was an active leader III
Women's movements. These peopie
talked a great deal OF their aHection
but did little for her in her neeo.
Others who might have helped her
were unable to find her, she WithdreW
SO completely from the life OF the
world in which she had formerly
moved.
Miss Couzins was so prominent IN
the movement for establishing wom-
ans suffrage twenty years ago that
she was given the title THE susan
b. Anthony of the West
She was one of the first women. IN
the field in this campaign and was
one of the bitterest and most agrees
sive of the women fighters. The Eng
lish militant methods had not been
dreamed of in those days, but the
holiness of her attacks in some ways
were comparable only to the methods
now being followed in England.
Miss Couzins was one of the early
women of great Importance in TINS
country to take up the suffrage move
ment and fight valiantly for it. She
did this, though, in the last years OF
her life. She could not subscribe to
the tenets of the Womans Christian
Temperance Union, and when she
undertook the fight for the Sunday
saloon, in 1905, she left the suffrage
party. -a.

Home for Bird.

NEW YORK, June 2s-Mrs Green
is young and very charming. That
is why the offic ers of the Vestris, OF
the Lamport and Holt line. gave her
their fullest attention when she an
nounced in plaintive but positive
tones that she had lost her Hickey.
II forgot to bring Hickey" she ex-
claimed.
Who's Rickey?" demanded the sec
ond officer
'Rickey's our pet canary" she Said,
"and am taking him to South Amer
lea to my husband. 1 mean 1 was
to have taken him, but left him at
home"

TITS too, late now to get him." said

minutes"
But 1 wouldn't dare go without
him. I've brought the seed and the
cuttlefish and everything, but l for
got the bird"

flcer.

After consultation with the Vestris
captain II was agreed to hold the YES

To an agent of a taxicab company
the young woman explained that she
wanted TO go to the Fifty third Street
number and get a canary bird.
But no canary bird bearing taXicab
arrived at the pier by ten minutes
after five o'clock, and Mrs queen
was in a state of hysteria as she
watched the sailors haul off the gang
plank.
Just as the Vestris was swinging
at the end of the pier and before the
last spring line was cast off the taxi
cab arrived With the bewildered
canary in its cage one OF Mrs. Green's
friends ran to the end of the pier
and fastened the cage to a piece OF
rope. Then, very slowly and with due
reverence-for Mrs. Green's brimming
eyes were upon him-a sailor hauled
the line with the cage attached over
the side.

lures Of the annual report Of the

In addition to these the report con-
tains substantial chapters on the fol-
lowing subjects: General survey of
the year; educational legislation dur
ing 1912; higher education; city
school systems; rural education; re-
cent movements in negro education;
review Of agricultural education;
progress in vocational education: IL

In his introduction to the report
the commissioner discusses the wide
discrepancy between the increase In
the number of children OF school age
and the actual enrolment: an appar-
ent reduction in teacheTS salaries
during the year; the remarkable In
crease in high schools and high school
enrolment throughout the country;
the decrease in professional schools,
due to the enforcement of higher
standards, lack Of preparation Of
teachers, which DIR. Claxton charac-
terizes as "one OF the greatest evils
OF our school systems" the shortness
of the school term IN the United
States as compared with other civil

several pages from Hiawatha in a
school entertainment in Artesia, N.
