SKUNK FARMING.
A Novel Mode of Acquiring the Filthy
Luere.

A Novel Mode of Acquiring the Filthy
Lucre.
FRANKLIN, PA, Sept. 7.-Wilson Miller,
farmer living in Plum Township, We
mango County, undertook some time ago
to raise skunks for the pelts Mr.. Miller
was in the city to-day and gave some
points to a reporter about his novel enter
prise. 1t has not been, as yet, success,
but he thinks in another season he can
make it so. He began the business by
capturing alive six skunks at the cost of a
suit of clothes and three days hard work
turning over rail-piles. The animals were
kept in tight pen and bred freely in
captivity. In due time his stock was in
creased from six to twenty -seyen. About
the time he began to think the skunk
industry was bonanza the entire nucleus
of his ranch escaped from the pen and dis
appeared in night. His intention was to
kill off all the spotted young, believing
that in time this would give him exclu-
lively black ones, the skins of which always
commanded.a a good price in market. Mr..
Miller said he could have captured some
of the escaped young, as he knew where
they concealed themselves In arail-pile,
but he did not care to accept the respon-
sibility Of raising them by hand. He will
do nothing more in the queer business un-
til fall, when he will again capture a
nucleus and try it once more. He has
great confidence in being able to make it
| a financial success.

Comments OF English Paper on its re-

LONDON, August 22.-The PaK Nal
Gasette, referring to the rejection of the
Fisheries Treaty, says it is thankful that
the Chamberlain mission had not made
the difficulty more serious than IL was
before. Senator Morgans speech, II
says, was buucombe. The rejection OF
the treaty simply relegates the whole
question TO an amicable settlement after
the presidential election. Neither Ameri-
cans nor Englishmen are luBaties, and
the void will not be plunged into bath
Of blood because opinions differ over
kettle Of fish. The matter will be again
negotiated after the election, and in the
meantime we can cultivate indiSrubber-
ike forbearance aad cool temper.
