Chicago Record-Herald; Protracted meet
ings of the special elevator committee which
has taken up tbe controversy with the ele
vator proprietors are now being held dally.
Legal advice on n numl»cr of tne questions
arising or likely to arise In view of a poa-.
slide radical change from the present sit
uation waa had by tbe committee yesterday.
A Jong meeting waa hsld In the president t
room and nothing was given out. for publl-
cation. There waa considerable expression
of opinion on the floor ai to the outcome
im* niaue avanniue in auu near me cuy. sou
that the present regular elevators could be
left out of consideration if need be In the
settlement of the matter. They held also
that the railroads were not as much under
tbs domination of the big alerator concerns
as formerly, and that the elevators would
be the big losers even if they held together
to the end of the fight, which wss not re*
S rded as likely. The elevator people
iracterlxed the reply of the board of
trade officials as to the slevstor men’s
statement of Saturday as a very weak doc
ument which, told nothing. The elevator
men claim that it was evident that the
officials were still going on the mistaken
assumption that the elevator Interests were
not serious and would fall to do aa they
had planned.

HAYWARD, VICK & CLARK'S
DAILY COTTON LETTER
New Orleans. May 36.—The Liverpool
board reflects an excited market Futures
were due about 8 hither. They advanced
as much as 20 Engtl*n points, Spot prices
are 24 higher; sales 5.000. AUbonau tbs
explanation Is given tint recent sellers in
New York covered in the English market,
•we believe the advance Is due to tbe more
sobetantlsl reason of general protective
hedge buying by the trade. Forward mill
engagements are reported heavy, which,
combined with continued bad crop newa,
had to result In such a tension that Just
such an outburst as we hare seen today
was the only solution in the way of par
tial relief. Should tbe government bureau
condition be below 70. as appears quite like-
ly from all our Information, the trade buy
ing win probably become a constant sup
porting feature In the markets. Ft rat
trades here were at nu advance of about 5)
S ts. and trading settle*! around onentug
*es. There waa considerable proflt-tak-
an action which appears commendable
for various reasons. It la an absolute fact
that prospects for fall supplies next season
are bad. and tbe possibilities on the bull
aide correspondingly great, bat at present
and for the next three months we are
only dealing with prospects. Tbe help of
the spot man and the solution on tangible
facts will not be until September. Specu
lation baa done much and will accomplish
mors for the country If It can maintain this
price level during the Interim. Weather
conditions In tbe central and west l»olt
sgsln bad during the psstt wenty four
hours. Bains were quits general. What
Indications we have to go by point to more
rain In the central states; also In the Car
olina!. and partly cloudy weather In the
western half of the belt. The Into eight

crat: “An extremely unfavorable weather
map, a had fnrrcuet and some evidence of
an awakening abroad to the serious condi
tion of the crop augmented an otberwlae

MYSTERIOUS INSCRIPTION
FOUND ON NEW LAID EGG'
AROUSES FRASER STREET
Letters Stand Out in
Bold Relief From
Shell.
"Bleated are peacemakers, but woe to
breaker*. Amen, I will come again.
Pray on, sister. Amen.”
That Is an inscription more worthy a
stained glass window than a hen's ege,
and when Mrs. Mollle Douglass, of 889
Fraser street, found tbe.words on the
latest product of her poultry flock on
Wednesday afternoon, sne was shocked,
surprised, jarred and other things. And
since then the whole neighborhood has
been leaning over Mrs. DouglasB' fence.
Sounds like a joke, doesn't It But
to the good people of Fraser street and
the vicinity. It Is no Joke. Many of
them consider It a revelation from
above, or a message from tho dead.
It was Mrs, Harris, n neighbor of
Mrs. Douglass, who really found tho
egg. It was reposing In the soft dirt
under the house, and was still warm
when Mrs. Harris picked It up. As she
handed It to Mrs. Douglass, the two
women saw something that made them
almost drof> the fragile egg.
In white letters, raised trom the egg
shell as though eaten by some acid,
was an Inscription which stood out In
bold relief and nearly covered the oval
from tip to tip. Its text Is given above.
The news spread through* tho neigh
borhood, and soon every man and wom
an and baby In the block was present

I/x-al managers ara preparing for the

BALLOON IS FOUND
BUT NO AERONAUTS
London, May 12—Much concern Is
felt for tbe safety of Lieutenants CauJ-
tlehl and Leake, of the Royal engineer*,
who made a balloon ascension Tues
day. Their balloon was found today by
a fishing smack In the English chan
nel. It la hoped the officer* have been
picked up by some panning steamer.
Tho report traveled further than that
before dark, and at nightfall more than
a thousand persons had vlalted the
Douglass home to see the egg.
Many of them took the message as a
warning, and after a crowd had gath
ered, someone began an Impromptu
sermon based on tho message from the
supernaturaL One well-known resident,
who was overcome by emotion,
straightway declared hls Intention of
leading a better life. There was a re
ligious fervor in the atmosphere that
thf district hml m.t known before.
The hen which laid the egg Is just a
plain, every-day kind of hen, with no
bad habits and no Indications of being
a prophet. She has laid a few soft-
f-Hi-Il.-'i egg-' lately, hut Mrs. Douglass
has forgiven her for that. The hen
was bought, with others, by Mrs. Doug
lass' husband, who died some time ago,
nnd Mrs. Houglnss Im Inclined to look
upon the egg and Its inscription with a
degree of awe.
Tho mysterious egg was then taken
to tho store of C. P. Richardson, at 365
Fraser street, where It was placed on
exhibition. During Wednesday after
noon nnd Thursday thousands visited
the corner nnd took a peep at the egg
and Its Inscription. Some of them were
skeptical, but they-couldn't explain It.
“No acid could have been used to eat
away that egg shell without softening
till, egg," says Mr. Richardson. "The
egg was warm when it waa found, and
Is perfectly fresh. If it Is a fake, then
why?”
And all Fraser street shakes Its head
and murmpra In tho words of the Dane:
"There are more things 'twlxt heaven
and earth, Horatio, than are dreamed of
In your philosophy." Or If they don't
say It that way, they remark:
"Gee, wouldn't that Jar you!”

CHOPIN GIVES A CONCEPT
TO UNWILLING LISTENERS
When the last guest had nought hls
room at tho Piedmont Wednesday
night, retired.to dream of the muelc
festival, he did not reckon on a musical
accompaniment to hls slumbers. Nei
ther did tbe rest ot the guests, but
they had 1L
It was about 1 o'clock when It com
menced. Into the open windows on tho
north side floated the strains of a
staccato-ragtime Improvisation that
would have made Wagner hike from
hls tomb and hunt the Black ForeBt.
Then the barking and howling of a dog
rose upon the night air.
"It'e the overture from The Flying
Dutchman,'" muttered one drowsy
guest.
Signor Campanarf. baritone of the
aunny South, sat up suddenly when an
unusually discordant note came over
hls transom..
“It mu»t-a be that-a dam tenor re
hearsing," he remarked. "He see rot'
ten."
The concert grew more and more ob-
Situated Opposite Grady
and Will Cost City

will be located on College street, oppo
site the Grady hospital.

voted favorably on the site Thuraday
morning, upon the reeommendatlon of
G. H. Brandon, chairman of the special
committee from the board of health,
appointed to look Into the matter.
The lot la amply large, and on It has
been erected a three-ntory, forty-room
brick house, which, Mr. Brandon says,
will make a splendid hospital for pa
tients with contagious diseases.
The cost of the building and lot Is
39.000.
Councilman Grant, a member of the
finance committee and chairman of tho
school committee, reported that about
313,000 had been saved from the repair
fund for the schools, and asked that a
few thousand be gdded. so that all the
schools that needed repairs, repainting
and the like could be fixed during the
streperous. Finally the guests,arose In
their might and pajamas and began
calling the night clerk. Their protests
were loud and long, but the noise from
next door almost drowned their voices.
Then an Investigation was made.
Inside a moving picture show, next
door to tho Piedmont, Is a piano, and
Wednesday night the piano was left
open. The theater Is also the proud
possessor of a fox terlrer rejoicing In
the nnmo of Chopin. The terrier was
locked up In the theater at closing time,
and an open piano and a dog with such
a name formed a combination which
could but cause trouble.
When tho policemen reached the the.
ater and peeked through the window,
Chopin was running up and down tha
keys, tapping out a nocturne In every
flat in the block, and making a etren-
uou* effort to render the mad scene
from Lucia to hls own accompaniment.
The officers could not open the door, so
the concert continued until morning.
But what a temper those opera sing
ers are In! Musicians have such a
jealous temperament, you know!
