New York Ii q Great Market, Though Lon
don and Leipzig Are Ahead.

don and Leipzig Are Ahead.
Since John Jacob Astor, the elder,
made his vast fortune in the fur trade,
the business of collecting, buying, pre-
pairing and selling furs has become one
of the greatest industries of this coun-
try. Millions upon millions of dollars
are now invested in this business in
New York alone, which is the princi-
pal market Of the country, and its i'm
portance is increasing.
London and Leipzig, however, are
the two great markets of the world.
The prices that obtain in the former
city are the standard by which fur
dealers all over the civilized world are
governed. Every March fur dealers
from all the big cities of the world
gather in London at the auction sales
of the great commission houses, and
millions of dollars worth of all kinds
of furs are then disposed of. These
sales occur also in November and JAN
uary. American dealers and manufac-
turers buy nearly all their furs then.
Said fur reporter who had just re-
turned from the November sales:
London still holds the lead in the
dyeing and preparing of sealskins !;
but Leipzig is ahead on all the black
dyed furs. The prices of furs has not
changed much from those of last sea-
son. The most expensive, as us
ual, is the sea otter, and I saw some
sold at e150 for skin. That is the
jobbihg price, too. It was Siberian
otter Silver fox skins are very expen-
sive also, and brought as high as ESQ.
The other popular furs this season are
Russian white hare, dyed silver and
black, and sealskin. Beavers popu-
larity is decidedly on the wane."
American manufacturers are placed
at great disadvantage, because they
have to import all the fine furs after
they are dyed. That compels them to
pay 20 per cent. duty. If the methods
of dyeing and dressing were as good in
this country as they are abroad, this
duty would be saved, as there is no
duty on the raw shins. Fortunes have
been sunk in the attempt to improve
our methods, but it is said that the
difficulties lie in our air and water.
1t raay interest the ladies who are
anxious to possess sealskin cloaks to
know that the best are obtained from
the seals of the South Sea, and not
from the Alaska animals, as is popu-
larly Supposed. The Alaska skins are
very fine, however, and not nearly SO
high priced. The poorest are secured
around Cape Horn, and these are used
almost entirely for caps and gloves. 1t
pays the customer to go to frst-class
dealer and pay an honest price. Dis
honest dealers resort to a great many
little tricks, which only an expert can
discover. One of these is to palm off
skunk as sable.
While foreigners are able to boast
superiority in dyes, the American
manufacturers can claim the lead in
making and finishing. An English
made sealskin cloak looks coarse and
bungling when compared with the
American. This is true also of the cut
and style.

Foot Powder for Soldiers.

The new powder, which is now used
in the German army for sitting into the
shoes and stockings of the foot soldiers,
consists of three parts of salicylic acid,
ten parts of starch, and eighty-seven
parts of pulverized soapstone. This
mixture keeps the feet dry, prevents
chafing and rapidly heals sore spots.
Finely pulverized soapstone is also very
good, though not so rapidly effective as
this powder.

Dakota Coal Mines.

The coal mines at Sims, on the Northern
Pacific, are forty miles west of Bismarck.
The entrance to the mines is i'll the side of
hill, the hill being about 100 feet high.
The passage way inclines down slightly for
200 or 800 feet when coal is found in vast
quantities. The vein is six feet thick and
very fine. Every fifty feet a side tunnel is
dug from the main or entrance tunneD to
the distance of fifty feet, then large
room is dug out as log as it is considered
safe and then another passage way to a
new room, and SO on. After entering the
mine 1000 feet, the air becomes quite OPP
pressive. The miners get rs cents per ton
and can mine from three to four tons per
day. The capacity of the mine is 200 tons
per day. The coal bunkers at Mandan are
large. The cars are drawn up an inclined
plane to a tramway some twelve feet from
the ground and easily unloaded. Their
capacity is said to be 5000 tons.

VARIOUS DAKOTA MATTERS.

Grand Forks has been attracting some
especial attention recently on account of
one Gen. A. B. Ward, who has departed
for Canada, leaving most unsavory re-
cord behind him. The fact created SEN
sation in social and political circles in Da-
kota, which approaches q shock. 1t
appears that his name is not Ward, but
Wadsworth. and that instead of coming
from Providence, Rhode Island, to Oak o.
ia. he fitted hither from Spokane Falls.
The fact that he was an imposter was
learned by Editor WinshIp of the Grand
Forks Herald, whom Ward had opposed in
the contest for seat in the council, and as
there was no powerful affection between
them, Winship printed the following per-
'sonal:
-Mr. A. B. Wordsworth of Spokane Falls is in
the city,
This was enough. Gen. Ward" was not
slow to realize what this meant and he
made break for Mimic where he collected
some money which aided HIM in getting
into Canada, where he is now supposed to
be. He deserted young wife at Grand
Forks, which is said to be repetition of
what he has done at other places before.
Gen. Ward, or Wadsworth, was a smart
fellow, and had managed to get quite a
hold upon public affairs in North Dakota.

KATIE CREIGHTON'S DEATH.
Mickey Frees Daughter Dies of A1cho-

Mickey Frees Daughter Dies of A1cho-
hOIism in q Saloon.
Katie Creighton, an abandoned young
mi of twenty years, was found dead
early yesterday morning in the saloon of
James Herman, No. IT'S Grand street.
Herman reported the occurrence to the
Gregory street Police station about two
o'clock yesterday morning and Sergeant
Archibald went to investigate the mat
ter.
He found the woma lying dead near a
whiskey barrel. She had a bruise upon
the side of her head and it was supposed
that she had been assaulted and left to
die in the place. 4
Upon this supposition the Sergeant
arrested Herman and locked the saloon.
The body of the unfortunate young
woman was taken to the Morgue and
County Physician Converse made an ex-
animation which disclosed the fact that
she died from alcoholism.
Herman was arraigned before Justice
StilSing this morning, IA said that on
Friday evening the girl came to his saloon
and complained Of feeling i'll. Out of
charity he took her in and permitted her
to sit around the place.
She drank some whiskey, thinking it
would do her good, but it did not improve
her condition to any material extent.
All day Saturday she moped about the
saloon. About midnight Saturday Kerr
nan says he locked his saloon leaving her
there, and went out to get something to
eat. When he returned about an hour
and a half later he found her lying on tine
floor dead. 1t is supposed that her sick
ness increasing she dragged herself to
the whiskey barrel and drank a quantity
of the liquor from the spiggot.
Herman was discharged later in the
day.
Kate Creighton was originally Kate
Harriott. The famous Mickey Free, the
'bould Irish Republican poundmaster,"
was her father. He died some years ago.
The house on wheels which he SQUAT
ted" wherever it could find a resting
place was not big enough to hold the
crowd that gathered around his bier and
the coffin, wrapped up in the American
flag, was placed In the middle of Newark
avenue, where the funeral services were
held. No such crowd ever attended an
other funeral in this town as attended
mickey Frees" and all the chief men
of the city were in it.
Kate was then a little girl, and she
grew into attractive ~womanhood. She
fell into bad company, however. She
married James Creighton, a ~barkeeper.
His efforts to reform her were fruitless,
and though she had two pretty children,
who survive her. he had to leave her to
her course.
The course was down, and deeper down,
till she became known as a rounder, of
bioated face and unsteady step. and un4
steadier morals. Her death Is the fitting
climax of her career.

LAFAYETTE'S BLAZE.

The Loss Is $780, 00-one Of the Firemen
Hurt.
Lafayette's early morning fire yester-
day-annonnced in the regular edition of
THE SUNDAY MORNING NEws-did not
prove quite as disastrous as was antici-
pated. Prompt and efficient work of the
flremen, however, alone saved the works
of the Boynton furnace foundry from
complete destruction. AS it was, only
the molding building was destroyed This
was q n story frame structure on
1t was here that the fire broke out
about midnight.
Valuable patterns were kept here, and
these, together with the machinery, were
destroyed. No cause can be assigned for
the blaze. When the workmen retired
on Saturday, everything was in perfect
order and in apparent security. Shortly
after midnight the Waterman discovered
flames shooting from the windows and
Immediately sent out an alarm. The
firemen responded promptly and worked
vigorously to subdue the flames. They
were successful, and they are deserving
OF great credit. Only for their very
prompt response and unceasing labors
after they arrived a general conf1agra-
ton would have resulted.
The loss, including the building and
machinery, will amount to about $4,000,
fully covered by infurance. Duplicates
of the patterns were kept in the main
building and were saved.
The burned building was 1916 feet long
by ITO feet wide. The firm will suffer no
embarrassment by the fire. They have a
large stock on hand and will be able to
meet all orders. The burned building
will be rebuilt Immediately and work
resumed.
After the fire had been extinguished
the water main near the foundry burst
and tore up the streetfor a little distance.
Had this occurred before the fire the fire
men would have found much difficulty
in fighting the flames.
The city's laborers are repairing the
break today.
While returning from the fire about
three o'clock yesterday morning, Robert
Trip, of Hook and Ladder No. 3, was
thrown off the truck on Communipaw
avenue. The wheels passed over him.
He sustained a compound fracture of the
thigh and was taken to St. Francis Hos
pital.
He buried his wife q few weeks ago.
since which time he has lived at the fire
house.
