TRANSFER OF FUR.
Hair Taken From Skins and Placed
Upon Other Material.

upon Other Material.
In the window of a London store there is
exhibited a number of pale golden SKINS show
Ing as the light chances on them a resplendent
Silvery sheen, while others have been dyed black
without losing their luster. These, according
to the London Queen, are examples of the pelt of
the Greenland seal prepared by what is called
the fur-transferrIng process, by which the
ordinary skin Is entirely removed the fur alone
remaining, each Individual hair being attached
to a flexible fabric. The advantages claimed
for this process are that TIL furS are much
softer ana more pliable than ordinary skins,
that they are entirely Fl 9 from any unpleasant
animal door, and so far from being injured by
ana dried like blankets 1t is also said that
the FUR Will not come out by use, as the hairs
hold much closer than when implanted In the
original skin. All kinds of furs can be thus
transferred from the skin on which they grew
on 10 close and durable fabric.
The modus operaEdI OF this transfer is at
first sight rather difficult to grasp. 1t is obvious
that each individual hair cannot be transferred
slngly, but that the whole must be done at once.
The nature OF the process, however, may be
very easily indi Gated. The original skin, from
whatever animal it may have been obtained.
is placed, with the fur downward, in contact
with an adhesive surface, 10 which the hairs
become so strongly attached that the skin may
be laid hold OF and absolutely torn or stripped
away, leaving the fur attached TO the cement,
and so perfectly is this accomplished that the
skins themselves are capable of being utilized
for leather The next step of the process Is
the covering OF the roots With another adhesive
material !, by which they are cemented TO
close woven fabric. Thus it will be seen that
the external portion OF the fur is tightly held
by the first cement to which it was attached
while The roots of the hairs are closely
cemented 10 the fabric which has bren placed
upon them. In the process of manufacture all
that Is now necessary is to loosen the attach
ment OF the hairs 10 the cement on which they
were first placed when the whole OF the fur IN
its original position is obtained, only cemeGted
10 the flexible fabric in lieu OF the original skim
The result Is undoubtedly most successful.
IL is difficult to imagine a softer and more per.
feet fur than that which is obtained.

SALOON MEN PROTEST.
THEY PREFER TO PAY THEIR LICENSE
 TO THE CITY IN CASH.
A Meeting Held Yesterday Afternoon to Protest Against the Proposed Action
 of the City Council

At the last meeting of the city council an ordinance was introduced and placed on its second reading which proposes to change thepresent law, which places the city license for saloons at $600, so that it will read $l ,000 per year, payable in city scrip. The proposed change has excited con siderable comment and criticism, for just why the change is to be made is not clear to many people. The saloon men say that it is for either one of two things: That it is for the pllr- pose of antagonizing the Water and Light Company, who now receive the cash paid in by the saloon men in payment for water and light fur nished the city and who threaten, ill case the proposed change is made, to cut off it's service; or else that specu- lators have cofnered the scrip market and through the council are endeay- ling to create a demand for it, and therefore, advance it's price by com polling the whisky dealers to pur- chase it in order to pay their annual | licenses.
 A meeting of the saloon men of the city was held yesterday afternoon at which three-fourths of them were present. The object of the meeting was to consider the proposed change i'll the law. The matter was dis eussed pro and con in all it's bearings and il was the unanimous decision oi all present that the change would be preiudicial to the best interests oi l Pine Bluff, and u committee of their number was appointed to draw up resolutions and present tlem to the council at it's next meeting, protest ing against the proposed change ot i the law.
 The saloon men assert that they are perfectly willing to continue pay ing the city a license of $500 per year in cash; but that on account of ths unusually dull times they would asI the ecouncil to allow this to be pait quarterly, instead of in lump, ai

heretofore They claim that they are property holders and, as such, inter- ested in the welfare of Pine Bluff; that they have no fight to make for or against the Water and Light com pany, but believe that if the change is made, and they are compelled to pay their license in scrip, that the Water and Light company will at once shut off it's service of both water and light, which will bevery hurtful to the city, as 1t would be completely without water and at the mercy of fire bugs, and thieves, for at night the city would be slfrouded in darkness and that, as a consequence, the insurance companies would with draw from the city, or else raise in- surance rates so high that no one could pay them
 If, they say, speculators have cor nercd city scrip, it would be mani festly unjust in the council to make the saloon men purchase it from them at, perhaps, double the sum they paid for it.

Charity should be world wide, uni versal, but the act of giving money to every beggar is not true charity, and often more harm IS done by it than good. The giver should always use great discrimination when he be- slows of his abundance. and when he does give, it should be from his heart, and not from the fact that it will become known to the world and the giscr will be lauded by hisfellow- men as a philanthropist. Some people of our city say that charity should begin at home" and make that an excuse for not helping unfor- tnnate wrcteles by whom they are approached, when they have an abundance. and should do so.

A STRONG effort is being made to have
duce the price of admission from fifty to
twenty-five cents. The arguments ad-
vsnced are specious, but we are not cure
that they are convincing. A great
many persons of excellent practical
Judgment are OF the opinion that sub
stantially as many persons would visit
the fair at the one price as at the other.
If this be true there would be no COM
pensating benefit in the reduction. This
fact must be borne in mind that the
gate expense ls one OF the least of those
connected with visiting this great expo
sition, and to people coming from dis
lance it would cut no figure at all. 1t is
from these that doubtless the bulk OF
the receipts win come. The demand
for cheap admissions could be met by
special concessions for certain classes
and for certain days. At the
best it ia a question as to whether the
fair can be made to pay, and
to propose to reduce its total income,
outside OF the returns from concessions,
one half at one sweep, would seem to
invite failure. 1t would be far better TO
have laborera' dag, and so on, than to
lop off half the admission charge, which
would apply to multitudeH who would
cheeriully pay dollar for the varied
enjoyments afforded by the Sunset city.
During recent visit to San Francisco
we found one strong undercurrent, and
that was as to the practice which the
management has adopted Of announcing
the number of visitors to the fair daily
without giving the amount of money
taken in. The public would be much
pleased if this system were changed,
and the amount of the receipts az we'll
as the number of visitors were daily
chronicled. The Examiner is making a
strenuous fight for cutting the price of
admission in two, and there is strong
sentiment in large portion of the press
in the same direction, but it is not likely
to compass its object. The precedent
in America at least favors the fifty cent
charge.
