How Sealskin is Prepared. tho C,,, I


 Few Of those wearing sealskin sacque have any knowledge of the process by which tsae skins are prepared for use. Seen when first taken from the animal they little resem- ble the warm, glossy skins worn upon our streets, for until dyed and cured they are of a light brown hue, coarse and full of sand. Before becoming valuable they are shaved down on the flesh side until not thicker than paper, the long hairs are pulled out and the fur dyed. The cost of the article is due to the labor expended on it. The raw skins are sold at London, where the finishing is done, and then shipped back to America, where they are sold with a heavy duty added. The killing season in Alaska begins about June 12 and the one hundred thousand skins are usually ready for shipment a month later The work of slaughtering the animals is done by natives who live upon the St. Paul and St. George islands, and the process is an in teresting one When skins are wanted the natives go to the rookeries, station them selves along the shore between the seals and the water and at a given signal spring to their feet and make as much noise possi ble. The frightened victims, timid deer, are then stampeded up the beach and driven like sheep a few miles inland. until their captors attack them with hickory clubs. Being knocked senseless, they are stabbed with long, sharp knives and the skins are quickly stripped from the bodies. The work is divided among the men, some knocking the seals down, others stabbing them and still others taking off the skins. The native Indians number about three hundred, and, under the terms of the lease, are provided gratis by the company with warm houses, sixty tons of coal, doctor and schoolmas- ter, salmon and other necessities and com 4 4l1s,, 1al0 %l,A some $40, 900 altogether each season, sum more than sufficient to meet the limited needs of life in a region of almost perpetual fogs and utter isolation.

The House Calendar Fun.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 15.-The House Com mittee on Public Buildings and Grounds to- day took up for consideration Chairman Stockslager's bill which provides for a reor- ganization of the office of supervising archi- tect of the treasury. The bill was briefly discussed and action was deferred. Several other committees held meetings, but the late ness of the session renders their work unim- portant as the calendars are already over burdened and there is but the slightest prob ability of any new bills which may be report ed receiving any attention in the House.

oliver Brothers Forced to Suspend Payments.

GREAT FIRM IN TROUBLE. oliver Brothers Forced to Suspend
 Payments.
 PITTsBURG, Jan. 15.-This afternoon Oliver Bros. & Phillips, and the Oliver & Roberts Wire Go. Qimited), issued the following card to their creditors:
 we to-day compelled to suspend payments, and purpose calling immediately meeting of those interested to whom we believe we can show assets amply sufficient, with some indulgence, to pay every dollar of our liabilities
 All the talk in business circles to-day was the suspension. The history of the firm is a remarkable one. In all their transactiong fortune has seemed to follow them. From their very small mill seventeen years ago has grown the immense plant now owned. com prising four iron mills, one steel and two wire mills. The firm in their works en- ployed between tbirty-five hundred and four thousand men. Late reports to the effect that the liabilities will not exceed s, 3,000,000. There was no dissenting voice to the sentiment that an extension of credit was deserved and would be granted at once It is said that some time ago the firm bought an interest in the Isabella furnace for $90, 900, which was called unexpectedly and AS S~1N- SiAe@s ]'AN Oliver has credits which were not called up- on for considerable sums and that it was only after all night consultation with the other parties that the suspension was decided on. Diligent inquiry among bankers and business men of the city failed to disclose any unusual excitement There is con siderable surprise, the opinion being gener- ally expressed that no serious results will follow provided reasonable extension is all lowed and that the firm will eventually pay dollar for dollar. At the office and ware house of Oliver Brothers & Phillips on Water street this evening there was no visible indi cation of the misfortunes of the firm, affairs apparently moving usual. H. W. Oliver, jr., came to the front door of his office in response to request. He looked pale and jaded but seemed cheerful. When asked as to the firm financially he said: 'I will tell you all I can at present. but that will not be much. Everything we possess is in the hands of our creditor. Nothing will be held back. We engaged ill going over our books to ascertain how stand. We shall call meeting of our creditors and present to them complete statement of our affairs. The issue will then rest entirely with them. I believe we can pay all we owe, if there is no disposition shown to crowd us."
 "Can you state the amount of your liabili- tiess" 'sI cannot at present. Everybody knows what has been going on in the iron and steel business during the past two years and the statement posted on our office door expresses about all that we can say just now"
 Mr. Oliver stated that the embarrassment was 8 surprise to him. He denied that Uni ted States Senator J. Donald Cameron had any interest in the firm or that Dr. Hostetter had precipitated the crisis by buying up all the call loans of the firm and pressing them.

 MONTREAL, Jan. 15.-With the mercury at zero and snow enshrouding all things in it's beautiful virgin coverlet, we may be fairly said to have real Canadian weather at last as distinguished from the wet and gloom of the past few weeks which was more characteris- tic of the old worlds murkiness than of the bright skies and exhilarating atmosphere of which we make so much boast. The ice palace is rapidly advancing. The central tower has almost reached the altitude and the coping upon which men are engaged is 8 fine piece of workmanship, rehecting credit upon the skill and ingenuity of those con- cerned. Workmen wrapped in white gar ments of snow and looking with glittering icicles depending from their boards like ex- aggerated travesties of Father Christmas work away with a will apparently uncon- cerned about either frost snow. The ice castle may be fairly counted upon to greet our American cousins on the 26th in glitter ing and translucent solidity
