pMchci.wtr the very choicest offering of
Friday' market. They came all the way
from Cape Colony. South Africa, and are
a freeh a though they had Just been
pulled from the trees. But those who en
Joy then luxuries will pay for them at the
rato of 15 centa each, or two for 26 cent.
PI red and green plum are also In, hav
ing come from the ame place. These sell
for It centa each and they are very nice.
The finest looking strawberries of the win
ter were offered Friday morning for TS
centa a box. It may be added that these
boxes are of the Indefinite else between a
pint and a quart, but sell for the latter.
These berries are large and red. And then
there ara other strawberries that sell for
and as centa a box. These are rather
scrubby looking;. The pineapples promised
last week have come In and sell for 10 and
tS cents each, .They are of good site and
flavor. Oranges sell from IS to 40 cents
a dosen and grapefruit, 10 centa, or three
for 26 cents, according to slxe. Malaga
grapes are 20 and SO centa a pound. Red
bananas, long overdue on acount of the
interruption of shipping from Jamaica, will
be in soon. Quantities of apples are In
market, ranging from 80 cents a peck to 80
cents a bushel.
String beans, that have been out of mar
ket for seversl weeks, are In again and
' soil for 20 cents a quart. They are nice
and large and full. Kgg plant, also out of
market for some time, will be In Saturday
and will sell for 20 and 25 cents each. New j
asparagus Is a certk Inty In the very near
future possibly It will be In Saturday, but ;
It will not sell for less than 23 cents a 1
bunch. Celery, cr at least such celery as
ban been obtainable unit mt mtmH nHnaa
will not last very much longer. That of
fered Friday morning was- very nice and
old for 6 and 10 cents a stalk. Perhaps
the finest looking cauliflower offered this
winter has been In market the past week.
It . Is very white and firm and crisp and
aells for 20 and 25 cents a head. Rhubarb
costs 10 cents a bunch; tomatoes 20 and
10 cents a pound; cucumbers 20 centa each;
mushrooms 90 cents a pmmd: Brussels
sprouts 30 cents a box; turnips 10 cent a
bunch; new beets and radiihes 6 cents a
bunch; carrots 10 cents a bunch; head let
tuce 10 cents, and leaf lettuce 6 cents a
bead, - and green onions 6 cents a bunch.
New potatoes are 10 cents a pound; Irish
potatoes 75 cents and $1 a bushel and
aweet potatoes 40 cents a peck.
In spite of the liberal assortment of fresh
fruit available at this season, there are
ftlll uses for which only the preserved
fruits ar desirable, and for these pur
poses a most tempting assortment Is
offered. There la no more attractive de
partment ln the whole store than that
where the candled fruits are displayed. Of
course, now that there Is a pure food law.
It Is an open secret that the beautiful red
of the cherries and peaches and the pretty
green of the other fruits Is not wholly a
natural color. But as these things are
used chiefly for decorative purposes, the
artificial touch Is not undesirable, as It
enhances their attractiveness many fold.
All these fruits cherries, peaches, green
gages, sickle pears, pineapple slices, orange
peel, lemon, peel and citron sell from 40
to' 0 , cents a pound, according to lti
quality. Some exquisite novelties are to
be had In these things, and as an em
bellishment they are, in their place, without
a rival. A species of rhubarb, colored a
beautiful green and used much as citron,
angellque by name, Js one of the novelties,
while crystallsed cherries, peaches, figs and
apple are others.
Butter- and ea?s went up In proportion
as mercury went down. The best creamery
butter brought 86 cents a pound Friday
morning and the best dairy butter which,
by the way, 1 the equal In every respect
of the creamery cost 2S to SO cents a
pound. It may be consoling to know that
butter costs even more further cast, and
that local dealers are reserving only
enough for local demand and shipping the
surplus east. The best eggs sold fur 27
cents a dosen Friday mowing. .
The long-expected has happened In cheese.
The price has gone up. Considering the
rumors for months past that the wholesale
.price was advancing, the advance In the
retail, price Is only slight The domestic
brick cheese is the only variety affected
so far. this having raised from 20 to 21
cents a pound. The cream domestic re
mains at SO cents a pound. Cottage cheese
la to be had freah a( 10 cents a pound.
Fancy whit honey is 20 cent a frame
and strained honey 20 cents a pint.
There la little. If any, change In th price
of poultry this week. Chickens ara louj

Olives Scarce.
Olives, the majority of which are grown
in Spain, will -be few In number, so far as
the freshly packed article goes. The crop,
which Is about to be garnered In Tuscany,
is said to be the smallest In years and the
wholesalers are experimenting considerable
difficulty in supplying the demands of the
trade. Ordinarily about 26,000 casks, hold
ing from 162 to 180 gallons of olives, are
shipped to the United States annually.
This year American Importers do not ex
pect to receive more than 8,500 casks, and
ss the outlook for next iy ear's crop la also
dark. It Is believed that the Increase in
price will finally aggregate 100 per cent.
What-to-Eat. .
Winter Recipes.
Froxen Tomato Balad The Pilgrim con
tributes this recipe: Open one quart can
tomatoes, turn from can, and let stand ono
hour that they may be reoaygenated. Add
three tablespoonfuls sugar, and season
highly- with salt and cayenne, then ' rub
through a sieve. Turn Into one-half pound
breakfast cocoa boxes, cover tightly, pack
In salt and Ice, using equal parts, and let
stand three hours. Remove from mold, ar
range on lettuce leaves and serve with
mayonnaise dressing.
. Rice Muffins Sift together half a tea
spoonful of salt, a heaping teaspoonful of
baking powder and two cupfuls of flour.
Add two well beaten eggs to one cupful of
sweet milk and stir Into the flour, with one
teaspoonful of melted butter and one cup
ful of dry boiled rice. Beat thoroughly and
bake in buttered pans for thlrty-flv min
utes. Serve with maple syrup.
Apple Pudding A wholesome and tempt
ing dessert is apple pudding. Pare and
chop three or four apples end slice them
thin. Lay in the bottom of th pudding
dish a layer of sliced apples, then a layer
of bread crumbs, with a little brown sugar
and grated cinnamon sprinkled between
the layers. Let the crumbs form the top
layer and dot with lump of butter. Bake
In a moderate oven until brown and serve
with either thick or whipped cream.
A delicious change frcm the ordinary
method of cooking dry beans Is made by
stewing them until well done, then adJini
cupful of sweet cream. Of course the
rream will soon sour, and hence but a small
quantity enough for one meal should be
added at a time. Msny people object to the
us of dry pole bean because of their dark
color, but they are nonetheless whole
some. The cranberry and other varieties
of these beans are of much richer flavor
than the navy and do not require so much
cooking to rendfer them digestible.
Raisin Cake One cupful of butter, two
and one-half cupfuls of light brown sugar,
lour cupfuls of sifted entire wheat flour,
six eggs, two pounds of seedless raisins,
two level tablespoonful of ground dn
tinmon, one cupful of maple syrup and two
heaping teaspoonful of taking poWdrr
Rub th butter and sugar to a cream, add
the syrup and the ground cinnamon, stirring
them well together. Next add the yolks of
the eggs and beat for a few momenta Sift
a little cf the flour over the raisins and set
aside. Aad the remainder of the flour, a
little at a time, to the mixture In the bowl
Beat for five minutes, then add the baking
powder. Mix thoroughly but do not beat.
Next stir In the floured raisins and last of
all fold In the well beaten whites of the
eggs. Line two mrdium-slxed tins with
buttered paper and bnk In a rather slow-
oven for an hour and a half.
It Is almost Impossible to serve a see

the accompanying danger of trade mon
opoly, DT. Schurman said:,
I suppose there Is little doubt that In
some industries not, I think, In many
monopoly actually exists and oppression Is
actually practised by making the public pay
extortionate prices. Trusts and corpora
tions, however, do not, as a rule, secure
monopoly of the biiRines In which they
engage. Even though competition is not
the force It once was. It Is still potent In
the protection of the public. But, aasume
the worst. There are remedies within
reach which may be used at any time for
extirpating the existing evil before It be
comes more malignant or general.
In the first place, trusts which are mon
oDolistic and oppressive may be deprived of
the advantages which they now enjoy as
a result 01 tarin or omer legislation. 1
take It that the American people are com
mitted to the policy of protection. But no
economlo or political program can long
be used as a shelter for Injustice or op
pression of the people. And if any tariff
schedule does actually enable a trust to
exoloit the Deoole for Its own enrichment
that tariff schedule Is doomed, no matter
how much talk there may be of the
sanctity of the tariff or the solemn duty
of standing pat.
A second remedy is a Detter regulation
of corporations and trusts In the Interests
of the public. The railway rate legislation
enacted 'at the last session of congress Is
an example of a remedy which the public

I will now consider another criticism
which Is at once more serious and more
difficult to answer.
Revelations of Corruption.
The speaker then went on to discuss re
cent revelations of corrupt practices In
business and official life. He cited spe
cifically the result of the investigation of
the life insurance companies of New York,
and other cases of equal Interest.
These "facts have been spread before the
public," he said, "by the newspapers and
magazines ana magnified into a thousand
fold more terrible pictures by the yellow
Journals which enrich their r'oprietors
by pandering to the lowest passions of
mankind. As a result of those exposures
and those publications a large number.

moral natures as In their economlo and
financial capacities.
"Like rulers of nations," said he, "they
unconsciously claim for themselves an lm-
j munlly from moral principle which some
how do not seem adapted to their con
cerns." Dr. Schurman did not, however consider
this a hopeless condition. Said he:.
In the ancient world traders and mer
chants were despised and associated with
robbers and pirates; but the merchant of
today is one of the very best types of our
civilisation, and in the modern develop
ment of vast affairs and high finance I
doubt not we shall ere long see the same
control of moral principle which already
dominates the ancient avenues of trade
and commerce.
Itemed les for Kvila.
The speaker then referred to the more
radical remedies proposed for existing
evils. He denied that so far the experi
ments in state and municipal ownership
of public utilities had resulted In any ap
preciable benefit, although he did not oppose
that system. He said, however:
I dread the bureaucracy which govern
ment ownership of American railroads (as
froposed by W. J. Bryan) would make
nevltable. No government in the world
Is qualified to go into the railroad busi
ness, and least of all the government of
the United States, which, draws its life
from party politics and In which all ad
ministrations are necessarily short-lived.
Th speaker said he could not agree with.
President Roosevelt as to the threatened
danger from "swollen fortunes." He. said:
The danger I see comes not from swollen
fortunes, but from stolen fortunes. The
man who injures the republic Is not the
man who has honestly accumulated a for
tune of millions, or, if you like, billions,
but the man who, for the sake of such a
fortune, ha been guilty of plunder, of
gambling, of illlcjt privileges, of monop
olistic oppression, of Injustice and law
breaking, and of the corruption of ex
ecutive officials, of legislators and even of
Judges themselves

The want of due limitations upon official
execution In some governments, the utter
Ignoring of such as prescribed in others,
had been the authors of evils and disas
ters which were before our early masters.
It was to escape these there followed one
war of blood and sacrflces and the saxriflce
of property and privileges of thousands.
Tonight we are surrounded by conditions
which, as a penalty for these offenses

It was Washington who saw these In

secretly to encroach upon the barriers of
division and by violations of established
law overthrow the fundamental restric

The Old-Fashioned Washington.
Charles A. Dickson spoke on "Th Old
Fashioned George." - In part he said:
Historians and orators" of every clime
nave exploited every pnase or Washington
character. He possessed three distinct
qualities, remarkably blended. These quail
ties were absolute honesty, self-control and
and hypocrisy. His Judgment was slngu
larly accurate. He never allowed his
an&r wry himself beyond the bounds
! of strict Justli. which wai a test of great-
nesa. His whole life wa dominated by
i good ludnment.

Warm Greeting; to Manderson,
One of the feature of the evening wa
the appearance of General Charles F,
Manderson, who appeared in the banquet
hall about 9:15, his strength not permitting
him to sit through the entire evening. Th
general' appearance was an Instant token
for an outburst of applnuse that warmed
the heart of Mr. Manderson and showed
with what affection he is held in the heart
1 of hi fellow cltlxens. Toward the close
j of the evening Toaatmaster Baldwin said
no event of such a nature would be com-
P'e w'thout a few word, from the gen-
and cordial greeting. During mv long lit
ness my thoughts often reverted hack to
this room and I often thought of you all.
I want to express mv hearty delight that
during the last year Omaha has taken on
such a substantial and permanent growth
and I feel sure that the future of our cltv
may well be entrusted In the hands of the
young men I see before me.
Three cheer for General Manderson were
given when he sat down.

GROVER CLEVELAND AT CHICAGO
Former President Addresses Wash
ington's Birthday Assembly.
CHICAGO. Feb. 21 The anniversary of
the birth of Washington was observed here
today. Th majority of th downtown
business houses were closed - during the
greater part of th day and the Board of
Trade and the bank did not open. The
principal celebration of the day wa In the
lands of the Union League club, .which
has for many year made a feature of pa
triotic exercises on February O. In the
morning exercises were held In the Audi
torium under th auspices of the club, at
which President John H. Flnley of the
College of the City of New York wa the
principal speaker. This afternoon there
was a great meeting In the Auditorium,
ex-President Grover Cleveland being the
orator of the day. This evening a banquet
will be held at the Union League club
house, at which Mr. Cleveland. President
Flnley and Richard Watson Glider will be
the chief speaker.
At th Auditorium Mr. Cleveland ad
dressed an audience which filled the great
building and his oration wa greeted
with 'every manifestation of approval. He
dwelt les upon th history and achieve
ments of Washington than upon the sound
ness of his political faith and th accuracy
of hi economic wisdom.
Mr. Cleveland said, In part:
Thru months before his Inauguration as
1 first president of the republic which he had
done so mucn to create, vmsuwigiuu
rat. letter to L&favette. his warm
friend and revolutionary ally. In. which he
expressed his unremitting desire to estab-1
Hsh a general system of policy wnicn
if
pursued, would
ensure nermanent felicity
to th commonwealth"; and added then
words:
I think I see a path as clear and a di
rect as a ray of light, which leads to the
attainment of that object. Nothing but
harmony, honesty. Industry and frugality,
are necessary to make us a great and
happy people. Happily the present posture
of affairs and the prevailing disposition of
my countrymen, promise to co-operate In
establishing these four great and essen
tial plllara of public felicity."
Such considerations a these suggest the
thought that this is a time for honest
self-examination. The question pressed
upon us with a demand for reply that will
not be denied: "Who among us all. If our
hearts are purge or misleading impulses
and our minds freed from perverting
pride, can be sure that today the posture
of affairs, and the prevailing disposition
of our countrymen, co-operate In the es
tablishment and promotion of harmony,
honesty. Industry, and frugality?"
The self-examination Invited by this
day's commemoration will be incomplete
and uperflcial, If we are not thereby forced
to the coniession tnat mere are sign or
the times which indicate a weiftr.es and
relaxation or our noia upon tnese saving
virtues. When thus forewarned. It 1 the
height or recreancy ior us oDstinateiy to
close our eyes to the needs of the situ
ation, and refuse admission to the thought
that eva can overtake ua. 11 we ar to

Parties Heed Watehlaar.
We have fallen upon a ' time when It
behooves every thoughtful citizen whoso
political beliefs are based on reason and
who cares enough for his manliness and
duty to save them from barter, to realize
that the organisation of the party of hi
choice needs watching, and that at time
It Is not amiss critically to observe Its di
rection and tendency. This certainly ought
to result In our country's gitln; and It Is
only partisan Impudence that condemn a
member of a political psrty, who on proper
occasion submits Its conduct and the loy
alty to principle of Its leaders, to a court
of review over which his conscience, his
reason, and his political understanding
preside.
I protest that I have not spoken In a
spirit of pessimism. I have and enjoy my
full share of the pride and exultation
which our country's material advancement
so fully Justifies. Its limitless resources.
Its astonishing growth. Its unapproachable
Industrial development, and Its Irrespon
sible Inventive genius have made It tha
wonder of the centuries.
The land we live In seems to be strong
and active. But how fares the land that
live in us? Are we aure that we are do
ing all we ought to keep it In vigor and
health? Are we keeping Its roots well
surrounded by the fertile soil of loving al
legiance, and are we furnishing them the
Invigorating moisture of unselfish fidelity?
The land we live in Is safe so long a
we ar dutifully careful of the land that
lives In us. But good Intentions and fine
sentiments will not meet the emergency.
If we would bestow upon the land that lives
In us the care It needs. It Is Indispensable
that we should recognize the wekne of
our human nature, and our susceptibility
to temptstions and influences that Interfere
with a run conception or our nnugaiitms:
and thereupon we should see to It that
cupidity and selfishness do not blind our
consciences or dull our effort.
Mr. Cleveland was the guest of honor to
night at a banquet at the Union League
club, sharing the post prandial honors with
Richard Watson Glider of New York and
Howard L, Smith, dean of the University
of Wisconsin Law school.
