An Empress, Mantle.

One of the handsomest silver wedding
presents received by the Empress of Rus
sia is an erInine mantle, which cost over
$50, GOO. 1t was presented to the CZarina
by the nobility of the province of Kher-
son, but was made up in Paris, for the
making up of furS has been for years and
remains still pre-eminently Partisan
art. Partisan faTriers are almost always
intruSted with the manufacture of the
splendid fur garments that become heir
looms in the greatest families of Europe
Ermine, beside being the emblem OF roy
atty, IS also that OF purity and stainless
ness; but it is, nevertheless, so delicate a
fabric that no white fur gets so easily
soiled. Very few people know how to
clean white furs, and it may therefore be
of interest to New York etegd1lteS to learn
the method recommended to me by the
famous st. Petersburg furrier, Paul Gu
baeus.
The furs must first be washed with tai
low soap and lukewarm water, and then
rinsed with weak solution OF crystals OF
soda, all the soapsuds being removed
from the fur with q hard brush. Should
there be dark stains, such as are made by
carriage grease or other fat substances, on
the fur, 1t viii be necessary to rub them
with benzine a few hours before washing
it. 1t sometimes happens that in spite Of
this treatment the turs retain yeIlowish
hue; this can, however, be removed by
bleaching them in the following manner:
Whilst still damp. the articles must be
immersed in very cold water, in which
four pounds Of sulphuric acid OF natron
have been diluted. After an hours soak
ing, four pounds Of salic acid are added
10 the mixture, which must be we'll
stirred. Whilst the furs are in the fluid
the vessel containing them should be
tightly covered, So as TO exclude the al,-
ton OF the air on the acids. Lastly, tile
furs must be rinsed several times with
pure cold water.-Harper's Bazaar.

Shoe Manufactures and Breweries EN-
pIoy Nom Union Men.
SAN FRANCISCO, March S.-The labor
war has subsided to such a degree that it
IS scarcely worthy Of name. The brew
ers now claim that their establishments
are run with non-union employees. and
the shoe manufacturers have document
ary evidence Of it. The next move must
be made by the Federated Trades, and
their council does not assemble until
Friday evening. Whether they will
make any further effort toward arbitra-
ton remains TO be seen, but the manu-
tacturers are not likely to receive any
oVertures from them. The ShoeEuakerS
stIii profess TO be strong enough to carry
their point eventually, and the brewery
Workmen say they viii bide their time.
-Four brewery workers, who were
known 10 be friendly to those who de-
clared the boycott on the Jackson Brew
cry, were discharged tonight from the
IIlOerHIa Brewery. 1t Is stated by Secre-
tary Mohr of the Brewers Association
that ali inside helpers in the breweries
arc now understood 10 have surrendered
their allegiance TO the Brewery Workers
Union, and as fast as they are found not
TO have done So they Will be discharged.
George Williams, Assistant Secretary
OF the Manufacturers hSsOciation stated
to-day that he considered the labor war at
an end as far as the shoemakers were con
cerned, and that he recognized bat one
uncertain element in the brewery matter
1t is impossible TO say as yet whether the
Syndicate of Breweries Will pledge them
selves to keep out non-uniOn men.
The beer-drivers had another meeting
last night, and seventeen more signatures
were added to the resolutions withdraw
ing from the Brewery Workers Union.
There are now siXty-two drivers who
have signed the document. These repre-
sent sixteen breWerles, so that there may
be said 10 be full representation.

MRS. MoNrAGU,s TRIAL.

Owing to Popular Feeling the Case
Has Been Transferred.
DUBLIN, March S.-The case of Mrs.
Anne Margaret Montagu, daughter-in-
law of Lord Montagu, accused of causing
the death of her infant daughter 10y cruel
and inhuman punishment, has been re-
moved for trial to Dublin. This has been
done in Difference to feeling that, as a
convert to the Catholic from the Protest
ant religion, she could not get justice in
the County of Derry, where the alleged
crime was committed and where the
Orange element is very strong. Rev.
Macdonald, priest of the parish of Cole
raine, asserted from the pulpit that Mrs.
Montagu was being prosecuted on ac-
count of her change of faith, and that the
Protestant local authorities were deter
mined TO punish her, irrespective of the
charge and the evidence III support of it.
The allegation of the priest was met by
an indignant denial, but it attracted such
wide attention and aroused such feeling
that the Government felt that the case
could not have an unpreiudiced hearing
in Derry. Hence the decision to remove
it TO Dublin, where the case will come up
at the next ASSiZes.
