Fillmore Condit, member of the exec
 utive committee of the Law and Ordel
 Association in Newark and president of or
 auxiliary branch, few days ago resigned
 his position, much to the surprise of his
 associates. It transpires that Mir. Condit'e
 action was prompted by boycott. He supplies refrigerator dealers and manufac-
 turers with patented fastener, and the re. frigerator dealers have business relations with the brewers. A dealer recently in- formed MT. Condit that unless he with. drew from the Law and Order League he would lose his trade. Mir. Condit learned that the dealer in question has received letter from large brewery firm in New ark in regard to the matter. Last October Mr. Condit, with other members of the League, procured the revocation of lia. uor-seller's license.

 The dye is the same as in Alaska seal skin, and yet it turns out different. The cloth won't fade or grow rusty; the nat
 ural fur will.
 We have fared extremely well with seal skin Pushes this year-especialIy the Sacque with seam in the back.
 The faults of year ago (and what is there without fault), have been traced to the seamless back garment-the strains on the cloth, with it's deep bias curves on back and waist were too much in follow ing the undulations of one's body.
 Cloth Of any sort should nos be treated the same as skin. gays the Boston Herald in an interview with Massachusetts, leading sealskin gar ment maker.
 Take the back of a sealshin sacque Af- terthe measurement is got, 1t Is placed on cut model of soft wood board tjust
 like taking perfect plaster model), stretched and pounded to the required form, as the kid in glove is modelled. The rest is easy. It is the joining togeth- CT of the other parts of arpor which al- ready fit their respective places.
 EluSh IS d1Merent. It cannot be stretch cd and pounded. It must be cut to the shape. Look at the back ofa piece of seal plush-rather loose woven material that doesn't bear severe pulling. The larger the bias curves, the greater the strain. The consequence is, the seamless back garment is not SO lasting in the shape or wear as the garment with seam in the back-with only half the bias curve.  We began the season under the market and grade our purchases from day to day so as to be able to stay under the marke amy day and every day. That accounts for such prices as these Seal plush garments at $S.5O.
 Seal plush garments at $9. 50.

pressive mouth and abundle Of papers,
was admitted. Hardly had the door
closed on her, shutting her into the
room, than she began to exhibit signs
Of nervous crankiness and placed be-
fore the Postmaster-General a bundle
of papers. After hasty glance al
them and an explanation from the
woman, he was undecided whether the
woman wanted a consulate at India OIL
whether she was applying for patent
for an aerial ship. He firmly but
politely refused to sit down and dis
cuss the question with her, and finally
got her outside the door.
The moment she found herself In
the ante-room hundreds of things thai
she intended to say, but didn't, flashed
into her mind, and she made break
for the Postmaster-General's room.
Ross, the doorkeeper, interposed his
body as an impossible barrier, how.

The Boston Evening Record highly
praises the work of Mr.. George Peter
son, the sculptor. who spent part OF
last Summer in this city with his rela-
tiyes, Mrs. Edw. Rittenhouse and Miss
Millen. Mr.. Peterson made very ia
vorable impression as gentleman and
an artist, and We are pleased to know
that his skill is being recognized. The
Record saysi
"The bust of the late d. j. Maguin-
ness which has been on exhibition in a
Washington street window, since the
death of The popular actor, and which
has attracted much attention, is the work
of Mr.. George Peterson. one of Boston's
own sculptors. The bust is striking
likeness OF the comedian, finished in
mastery style, and Mr.. Peterson has
been the recipient of many congratula-
tions for the work.
"This young artist has done very ex-
cellent work in the past and many of his
statuettes and groupings and terra Gotta
adorn the parlors of many OF the resi-
dences of our best families. About a
year ago he finished bust of Mr.. Kid
der, OF the we'll known banking firm, and
was literally requited for his labor.
His statuette, Ben Hur, produced last
Christmas, was great success artistic.

Crocodile and Pearl Diver have met
with much favor. He ia engaged at the
present time upon three busts of public
men, which he will probably finish the
latter part of May. In June he will sail
for Europe, where, after pleasure tour,
he will study for few years.
Mr.. Peterson owes his success in ART
to himself alone. He has studied and
worked without the direction of masters
and his zeal and perseverance,, aided by
clear conception and love of art, have
carried him to the high plane he now
moves on. Although not given to SUI

that his modelling stands are the ones

The Trenton House Fire.

The Trenton House Fire.
At about half past eleven o'clock yes
terday morning smoke was seen issuing
from the roof of the roar part of the Tren-
ton House, Trenton. The fire originated
in the laundry in an unused hatchway,
and tho draft from the hatchway caused
the flames to spread upwards to the roof.
By the time the firemen arrived the old
hatchway was one mass of flames, and
the flames were eating under the roof.
Chief Engineer Freudenmacher at once
took in the situation, and ordered several
streams into the building, and after an
hour and half the flames were extin-
guished.
When the legislaturemen were notified
that the hotel was on fire they grabbed
their hats and coats and ran pell NELL to
the hotel.
The building is considerably damaged.
The roof is so badly burned that new
one will have to be put, on. The upper
floors were more or less damaged by the
fire, the carpets are ruined by water and
the furniture damaged by fire and smoke.
A new system of electric bell arrange
ments, which has just been put in at a
cost of $500, is completely ruined.
Mr.. Katzenbach cannot account for the
origin of the fire. He thinks it was a
very fortunate one, as if it had occurred
at night time the hotel might have been
entirely destroyed, and probably some
lives lost.
The loss cannot be accurately estima-
ted, but 1t is thought it will be between
$4,000 and 500, 900, which /, covered by
insurance.
