New York, November 19.-Big egg
kings of the United States have gotten
themselves into a pickle" il seems,
and are eager to call upon the Ameri-
can public to get them ont. Speculat-
ing on a rise i'm the price of eggs,
which was expected TO follow large
demands for eggs on the part of the
allied nations of Europe, these kings
have been storing away vast guam
titles of egg in the cold storage houses
in all parts of the country. The al
lies have not come forward with the
big orders and the result Is that the
egg kings have found themselves in
a dilemma.
II is said that one billion eggs, or
ten eggs apiece for every man, woman
and child In the United States, are
now stored up in this mistaken spec
ulation. The price of storage eggs Is
now, in consequence two cents lower
per dozen at wholesale than IL was at
this time last year. This Is the
more remarkable in view of the fact
that strictly fresh eggs at New York
are selling for four cents per dozen
more than they brought year ago.
II is predicted that II the weather
continues mild, the price Of storage
eggs will take great drop. and
over the country at large these eggs
will soon be selling at 20 cents per
dozen retail s.''

II is not often that one so endeared
to the community by long and noble
life passes away as has occurred in
the death of Mrs. John b. Mayer. Her
loss will be keenly felt by a host OF
friends that she has won through long
association and upright conduct.
Mrs. Mayer died this morning at
3:15 o'clock at ST. Joseph's hospital.
Death followed an operation for gall
bladder trouble. This operation, the
second for the same ailment, took
place yesterday morning.
The first operation took place four
months ago. She seemed to rally well
after this. She was up and around,
with her characteristic energy, attend
ing to business. Up to the last min
ute before going to the hospital the
second time, she took care OF her
property, of which she had a consid-
cradle amount.
Native of Berlin, Germany.
Mrs. Mayors maiden name was Mrs.
Theresa Won Harzberg. She was born
i'm Berlin, Germany, on December 6,
1S47. On July 6, 1868, she was mar
ried I'm Mankato to John b. Mayer, an
old and honored territorial resident,
and ever since that time her home has
been in this city. From 1882 to 1900
Mr.. and Mrs. Mayer successfully con-
Quoted a grocery on North Front
street. The husband died April 40
1909.
The couple have had eight children,
six of whom are now living. These
are: Mrs. Charles A. Eckman, Man
kato; Mrs. Adolph c. Hockey, St
Paul; Charles X Mayer Mankato;
Mrs. David Pugh, Mankato; Mrs.
George G. Serene, st. Paul, and Mrs.
Clarence o. Williamson. st. Paul. ALI
six are married.
Fine Literary Taste.
Mrs. Mayer had a remarkably fine
literary taste. Even at Der advanced
age, she kept herself we'll informed
on current events by doing much read
ing of magazines and periodicals. She
was cultured woman and had many
personal charms. A unique character
istic of the deceased was her intense
love of Bible study. She not only read
and reread the Bible continually, from
end to end, until she almost knew
the scriptures by heart, but she stud
led other literary works of Bible his
tory. She was a devoted mother and
a kind neighbor.
Though good custodian of her own
property. Mrs. Mayer never lost sight
of charity as a duty of every true
Christian. Many were the neighbors
to whom she auietlyrextetded a help
ing hand I'm the hour OF need, and
many were the eases that she brought
to the attention of the aid societies.
The time 6fathe funeral has not yet
been definitely set, but 1t is thought
at the present writing that 1t will be
held next Sunday afternoon at 1880
from the family residence, ia North
Broad street.
