Famous Lndy Eglantine Ar
rives With Her Retinue
of Attendants
Fodcstrinns who parsed tho corner of
Broad nnd WallHco streets at 7:13 today
put their lingers In their cars to shut
out tho "tcrrlblo din."
Within the walls of the Metropolitan
Building hundred of rooster) stuck out
their chests (llguratlroly speaking) nnd
crowed loudly, and then some. They
had been crowing for an hour or more,
nnd now at last tho sun had ilscn. No
wonder they were proud. Kach one of
thoso roosters knew It was his crowing
that had brought light Into a world of
darkness.
A circular, scut broadcast to poultry
fanciers and farmers within a wldo
radius of this cltv, had announced tho
opening of the 10th annual show of tho
Philadelphia Poultry, Pigeon and Pet
Stock Association for 10 n. m. today.
That was for the public. For the par
ticipants, tho sbotv began when they
caused the llrst i.ivs of th sun to peep
over the housetops from tho Cast.
There Is one thing remarkable nhc t
this poultry show. The press agent does
not say It Is tho biggest poultry show
ever held. Hut It Is one of the best that
tho Philadelphia association has ever
hold, and has only been surpassed In
slio by the number of entries mt jo.ir.
There Is another icmarkable thing
about It. Tho most valuable foul In tin.
world Is on exhibition. She Is the famous
Lady Cgtantlnc. world's champion egg
layer, who has gotten moro publicity of
lato than a prlzcilghtf-r winning a cham
pionship, or an actress getting n divorce.
SHE'S A MONEY MAKEK.
Lady Eglantine is tho celebrated 5100,
P00 hen, tho property of A. A. Christian.
of this city. Llko tho famous $100,000
Infield, which Connie Mack used to boss,
the hen Is really worth moio than that
big sum. She Is tho champion egg-layer
of tho world, with 311 eggs In M3 days to
her credit. This record was completed
recently on Mr. Christian's farm in
Maryland.
It Is hardly worth mentioning' tho fact
that Lady Eglantine was tho centre of
attention when the show opened today.
Everybody wanted to see tho bird that
will bring to her owner this jcar n sum
of money equivalent to the Interest on
1,000,000. For It Is n fact that Lndy
Eglantine will probably net JM.000 protlt
this year, and, according to experts on
chickens, If she lives three years, will
earn $150,000 more. Such Is famo In tho
avian world.
Fresh from honors won at the poultry
show In New York, Lady Eglantlno Is
being treated with tho greatest respect
and care. For two days sho 'lias been
living In regal stlc at tho Hotel Walton,
with a man to take earn of her and a
detective to guard her. They aro taking
no chances with Lady Eglantine. And
when she arrived in the Metropolitan
Building Just as tho show opened today
ahe found a detail of policemen waiting
for her
Tho trip from the hotel was made In
ft taxlcab, for Lady Eglantlno has all tho
expensive habits of a million-dollar baby.
Proudly, head erect, not deigning to no
tlco tho comparatively common fowls In
tho show, mIic entered tho building. Yes,
Lady Eglantine Is something of a snob.
Kven In tho midst of such an aristocratic
collection of birds. Lady Eglantlno was
superior to them all. Shu was to them
what tho iiobllity aie to tho lower middle
class.
Tonight thco local poultry association
will present n cold bracelet, studded
.1.1. .41.. ... ... T -.1.. ,., ., I
"" uwiuuiius, iu uiuy eglantine, t'ro- i
tvsou. -. ii. .Tiiuiicuurii win matte u
speech of presentation and the gift will
bo accepted by Mr. Christian. No doubt
after that Lady Eglantlno will bo
prouder than over.
A HAPPY FAMILY.
Tho happy family from tho Elm
Poultry Yurds, Hartford. Conn., was the
second object of Interest after her lady
ship. Those who saw tho silver duckling
plucklly Jump at tho big Japanese
silkies twice his slzo, who wiw tho big,
barred Plymouth Hock and the equally
big White Leghorn snap and pick nt their
smaller brethren, who saw tho big goat
drive his horns in the direction of what
ever bird or beast dared molest his
eolltude as ho browsed In the' sawdust,
did not think the family was so happy
nfter all, despite the name. But F. O.
Groesbcck. their owner, said they were
getting along beautifully.
"Give 'em a chance,' he Eald, "and
they'll bo friendly enough after a while.
Scraps In every family, you know."
When you consider, on second thought,
the varletks of livo stock In that ono
cage tho family wbb not ho unruly after
all. There was a beautiful Boston ter
rier In one corner, a family of Angora
kittens In another, with u brood of guinea
pffes and four rabbits nestling between.
In still another corner n duck and 12
ducklings, with the toother snarling at
all who approached her llttlo ones. And
scattered about were any number of
chickens and 15 varieties of pigeons
English pouters, trumpeters, barbs, fan
tails, magpies and owls still maintaining
their ancient solitary reign.
The Metropolitan Building has been a
busy place in the last 2i hours. All night,
virtually, men were working to get the
show in readiness for the opening. Al
most constantly chickens and other Uva
stock were arriving by express and being
placed In the cells to which they were
assigned. It was a disturbing night for
the chickens who were trying to get their
accustomed rest, and the big black
Langshan from the Orient In cage No. 9
let out its powerful voice In a doleful
howl. Mr, Brosbeck, its owner, asserts
that It has the loudest voice of any bird
in the show,
That Langshan, by tho way, Is a stately
bird, measuring IS hands wait, this Is
not a horse-show measuring 18 Inches In
height. There are more of them In the
uha- and tliey are attracting admiration
from all quarters. So are the Faverolles.
a rather rare species of French fowl
which are seen In more than usual abun
dance In the present show,
MOO ENTRIES AT SHOW.
There are nearly 3000 entries In the show,
there are 850 large chickens. 150 ban-
tVI'S, 60 geese and turkeys, 100 pigeons,
I00 rabbits. Also there aro 70 breeding
"Vjiens and many miscellaneous entries.
The show will continue from 10 a. m. to
10 SO p. m. every day until Saturday. In
that time the birds will consume three
and one-half tons of patent feed, and the
ununals will eat fiV barrels of carrots,
iigr.t or 10 bales of bay uud Jive barrels
or oats Tbe fed alone casts 1U0 a ton.

BOY SEES FINfiERS CUT OFF
"Don't Cut Them Too Close," He Begs
Surgeon "I Wunt to Be a
Violin Player"
An 8-year-old boy calmly watched tho
amputation of his three fingers without
the use of an anesthetic last night, at the
West Philadelphia Homeopathic Hospital.
The lad Is Joseph Colodanto, of 6801
Lansdowne avenue.
"Don't cut them too close," he begged
of the surgeon. "I want to be u viuim
player." As Dr- Anthony Esposito ap
plied the knives and saws, the 'little fel
low clamped his lips, and although a tear
or two came Involuntarily from his eyes,
the patient made no outcry.
The police of the 69th street and Lan
caster avenue station have heard live
stories of how the boy's hand was In
jured. The boy says he was playing in a
shanty and was leaning against the wall
with his hand, when a shot was fired
through the wall. Lieutenant Ewlng is
personally Investigating the case.

URGED TO AID PROJECT
FOR NEW P0ST0FFICE
Would Not Mean Abandonment
of the Present Building, Says
Former Congressman J.
Washington Logue
READY TO CO-OPERATE
Tlin co-operation of the business lu
tctcsts of this city Willi Postmaster
Thornton In his effoit to establish a il.
000,000 main office west of City Hall. Is
urged by E.-Consressmnn J. Washington
Logue, in commenting upon Ihc proposed
sites for tho building ns outlined li Mr.
Thornton.
Mr. Logue intindllccd a bill In Cotmie.s
In 1911 for an npprupiintion for a new
main postoffice, which fnllcd of passage
because of the policy lo "economize" In
the matter or new buildings. Ilo declares
Hint n posloftlco west of Market stteet
would not menu the abandonment of thu
present main building, but would mciely
be an extension of tho service.
"What Is needed la a site near the
Pennsylvania Railroad," Mr. Loguo said,
"so ns to cnnblo tho out-of-town and In
coming mall to bo easily handled.
"Tho policy of tho Postolllce Depart
ment at present regarding postolllces nnd
larger buildings Is to consider Htace not
the erection of n sovernl-story building,
but a single lloor or two-floor space
"Tho recent visit of Mr. Van Netta
from tho Treasury Department shows
thnt tile department is continuing the
work that was started In 1911, nnd It
means that If concerted elforl Is had
nt this time the new building can be pro
cured, which will greatly aid tho postal
facilities of our city.
"The establishment of n main oillcc
west of the Public Buildings would save
In rentals that are now being paid ii
sum of money that would bo the Inlet est
on tho cost of the erection of n tie; mnln
nnico by the abandonment of rental sites
between the Public Bulldlims and tho
Schuylkill and Market Htreel and Spruce
street."
