New York Mail: No one will ever be
able to tell the real wealth of Alaska.
It consists of the abundance of it's
skinned animals The Russians used
to value the country for its furs, and it
was mainly for the furs that this
country acquired it from Russia. The
trade has grown much since it's annexa-
ton to this country. The shipments of
sea otter and fur sealskins alone have
more than doubled during the last ten
years, and now average annually 81, 5OO,-
600 in value. The list of furs produced
in that part of the country is long
one. The land furs comprise otter.
beaver. brown bear, black bear, red fox.
silver fox, blue and white fox, mink.
marten, polar bear, lynx and muskrats.
Rabbits, marmOts, and wolverines are
also common. but their skins are re-
tanned by the natives. The annual
value Of the furs, sea and land, now
obtained from Alaska is estimated to
average So, 600, 600 and there is no sign
of decrease in the yield. The com
petition Of the traders for skins has
stimulated the natives to greater in
dustry in hunting, and the prices now
paid to the hunters are from four to ten
times more than were current during
the Russian rule

A Pennsylvania firm that makes a
speciality OF growing potatoes, raised,
on twenty-five acres of clover-sod, an
average Of 3I2 bushels per acre. On
two acres specially prepared and fertiI-
lied they raised $50 bushels per acre.
This sounds big. but it shows what
careful selection of seed, fertilizing and
culture viii do.
Eggs from hens two years old, mated
with a cockrel about one year old, usu-
ally hatch better than those from pull
lets, and produce stronger chicks, but
as the hens are liable to become fat
more readily than puIIets, it often hap
pens that eggs from fully matured pull
lets hatch best. Pullets should be
mated with a cock at least eighteen
months old, and they should be we'll
developed and fully grown. The first
eggs from pullets are sometimes very
small, and IN using eggs for Matching
select none but those OF average size
and that are of even shape. When pull
lets begin to lay at i've months old the
eggs may hatch well, but It IS best not
to use eggs from them until they srs
older.

PLEASANTLY SURPRISED.

Yesterday was the fiftieth anniversary
Of the birthday Of Mayor j. P. Allen, and
Mrs. Allen arranged for him q very pleas
ant surprise by inviting TO their home at
the corner of Lawrence and Third, the fol-
lowing of the mayors most intimate
friends: Mr. and Mrs o. D. Barnes, DR..
Fabrique and wife. Mr.. and Mrs j. L.
Dyer, Mr.. and Mrs. ]. II. Alley, Mr.. and
Mrs. L. ID. Skinner, Mr. and Mrs. r. P.
Murdoch, Mr.. and Mrs ". S. Corbett,
Mr. and Mrs. n. McClees, Mr. and Mrs
Chas Morehouse, Major Marshall and
Chas. Allen.
All of this preparation was to him. how
ever, unknown and unthought Of He
went to the store as usual at o'clock.
Shortly afterwards Mr.. Corbett dropped
in and the two gentlemen sat there and
chatted for full an hour, when the latter
remarked that Mrs. Corbett was with
Mrs. Allen and the mayor invited him TO
walk home with him. When they had
reached Mr.. Aliens there was TO be seen
| no light in the parlor, everything as usual,
but shortly after their entrance the house
full of guests swept down upon the mayor.
and although surprised, he soon recovered
himself and assisted Mrs. Allen TO make
the evening one of great pleasure and en-
| ioyment to all. An elegant supper. ar
ranged with special care by Mrs. Allen,
was served and the time was most pleas
antly spent in games and social inter
course. IL was getting quite late when
the guests departed, leaving with his honor
many wishes for many more happy returns

CONTRACT AWARDING DAY.

The city council contemplate opening
the bids for sewer construction today. The
members look upon the work with some
dread, as they have arrived at the opinion
that it is very important feature and a
mistake might injure the city greatly and
in turn be a very effective boomerang for
themselves. 1t is thought there will be
fifteen or twenty bids for the entire sec
tons and certain kinds of work. Some OF
the members favor staying with the ques-
ton today until the contract is awarded.
They think this plan would be most likely
to be productive of best results Ii 1t is
impossible to agree today, some favor al
lowing each contractor the privilege to re-
wise his bid.
1t is hoped there will be full attendance
of the council, so each one can have hand
at the work and godown on the tally sheet
manipulated by the city charter
The city engineers department was be-
sieged yesterday with parties interested in
the result of todays' work. 1t seemed the
rule to see them punched off in twos and
threes in close and earnest conversation
with each other on the sewer building. In
the mean time number of the citizens
were heard yesterday quite well pleased
with getting the contract awarded and the
hope of having work commence on the i'm
provement. Many thought the matter
had been under consideration long enough
for some visible signs of results.

AT THE POLICE STATION.

Last evening Officer Behrs arrested two
parties, man aud wife, named O'Harra,
who were making things interesting out
on East Douglas avenue. They were
brought down to the station and charged
with disturbing the peace. Mrs. O'Harra
paid the fine and was dismissed and her
husband was locked up.
The police seem to have it in for the
dead beats and Migrants and are pulling
them wherever found. Among those who
last night fell into the hands of the police
were r. \. Carlisle and James Keller.
Carlisle put up $40 for his appearance and
Keller was committed.
George Taukoler was very plain, Or
binary drunk that was picked up on West
Douglas avenue.
Officer Fenner took charge of one B. L.
Reid whom he found drunk and disorder
" at the Lavelle house on West Douglas.
1t seemed from a statement made by an
officer that Reid, although pretty we'll
fixed financially, refuses to do anything
for the support of his family. His wife
makes a pittance by playing at the Mu-
scum, and every time he gets drunk she is
made the object of his wrath Fenner
grew tired of his behavior and SO last night
threw him into the box.

THE KIRMEssE.

The much talked OF and thought of Kir-
messe, for the benefit of ST. Johns church,
commenced last evening at the Crawford,
and greatly to the credit of the young peo-
pie who worked so hard for it, and to Mr..
and Mrs. Howe who superintended its pro-
duction, it proved glorious success.
Everything went of lovely, there appear
ing not even those little bitches and en-
barrassments that are incident to a first
night of not only an amateur, but even a
professional performances.

field were most graceful and fascinating
cashmeres, and the bevy OF beautiful girls

different nationalities individually and
collectively portrayed well their respective
characters The gorgeous taoleau yirant
formed in the rear of the stage with Mrs.

elegant and we'll worthy Of praise and

The Japanese dance as given by Misses
Downing and Tusch was most graceful
performance and called forth hearty en-
core. The Italian Scarf dance was exquls-
its Miss Daisy Mason the solo dancer, &C
quitting herself with great credit. The
grace and ease of her movements attracted
attention in the review and even there
callen forth an encore. The yonng ladies
who appeared in this dance were Misses
Viele, Rudolf, Anderson, Jackson, Lewis,
Junkerman, Moore, Boyd, Jocelyn and
Skinner. The costumes were rich and ele-
CANT and many costly jewels were worn. A
beautifuI tableau was the "Grecian Refu

Mr.. Howe made most decided hit in
his recitation There She Goes" and his
vocal solo, II Fear no Foe.

A WONDERFUL RUN.

Col. Plumb failed to make connections
On Monday morning on the Santa Fe. He
had promised to speak at kingman in the
afternoon and at Wichita in the evening,
having first been assured that the trains
ran so as to make the arrangement posi-
ble. He arrived at Wichita at l0:45 just in
time for the parade, which moved between
eleven and twelve, having been informed
that Superintendent Hill, of the Wichita
and Western, would see that he was in
kingman in season to meet his engage
ment. The special pulled out for King
man at l:30 with g. 2. Burlington conduc-
tor in charge, w. q. Elicit, train dis
patcher; L. F. CASTILLO at the throttle. The
senator spoke between two and three
houes and it was fifteen minutes past five
o'clock before he reached the depot for his
return trip and he was due at Wichita at
six, forty-hve miles away. Elliott said the
track was clear, and Burlington said Cas-
tello with No. could do il. CASTILLO ans
wered, / viii. The dozen gentlemen
who accompanied the senator looked a
little wild as with the word Castelle pulled
her wide open and with only the light
coach behind No, l fairly leaped from be-
side the kingman platform. The boys
pulled their watches and tried to time her
but they could not catch the click of the
joints Doors were shut, and windows
closed down to keep out the dust and
