GREAT ITEM IN THE FUR MARKET
Skunk Skins Known as "AIaska
Sable"
From the Boston Transcript.

From the Boston Transcript.
Skunk skins are one of the biggest items
in the fur market. They go under the at
tractive name of alaska sable" 1t is
not believed that there are any skunks in
Alaska, the latitude being too high for
them, but a good many thousands of the
pelts are taken in the British possessions,
passing through the hands of the Hudson
Bay Company. A vast number of ladies'
muffs are made of this kind of fur. which
frequently is passed off for that of the big,
long-haired Abyssinian monkey. Furriers
have special methods for getting rid of the
peculiar efluvlum. but sometimes in a
warm room a muff or boa of Alaska sable
develops" unpleasanty.
Eighty cents each may not seem a high
wholesale price for the best skunk skins
but the profit In the farming business lies
mainly in the fact that it involves no ex-
penses worth mentioning. The most bar
rem land is suitable for the purpose, fenc-
ed in, and the animals may be fed on offal.
Many people have a notion that skunk
farms are like frog farms In one respect
namely, that they have no existence in
fact This is a mistake. Frog farms, so
frequently written up in the newspapers,
are invariably pigments of the reportorial
Imagination; the department of agricul-
ture with agents all over the country, has
tried vanly to find one. But there are
quite a number of actual skunk farms in
operation. One of these is run by a fur
company near Ithaca, N. Y. Another was
started not long ago by some butchers in
New Jersey, who, bought big patch of
rocky and otherwise worthless land, in
closed it, and stocked it with few healthy
skunks, leaving them to do the rest
That is one of the beauties of skunk
farming-it requires almost no attention.
The company of butchers aforesaid feeds
its stock with refuse from the abattor,
which costs them nothing. The little an
imals are by no means hard to manage,
being as tamable as kittens. In fact, the
Mephitis Americana is remarkable for its
lack of fear of man. This may be due
in part to it's confidence in its own wea-
pon, but it will never use this except I'M
der great provocation. In other words, 1t
must be badly frightened or actually hurt.
1t seeks the neighborhood of human hab-
itation The little spotted skunks are Oft
en- kept as pets by miners in the far west,
the undesirable glands being cut off.
One point which the government ex-
perts want to ascertain is how the skunk
farmers kill their stock. Old trappers say
that a skunk will never give vent to it's
peculiar secretion if its back is broken
by a quick blow. The reason for this
doubtless Is that the rear part of the body
is paralyzed by such a blow. On the 9TH
er hand, it is known that the most in
slant death by shooting, even If the ami
mails head be blown off, will not prevent
! the use Of the function. 1t is worth men,
tjoning that there is no truth in the pop
ular idea to the effect that the fluid is
contained in the bladder; 1t is a special
secretion of two little glands at the base
of its tail.

POTATO PINGREE
Determines, After an All Night Con-
ference, to Retain the Office Of
Governor, and Will Give Up the
Idea of Again Running for Mayor.

Detroit. Mich. March Ex-Governor
Pingree will not resign the Governor
ship and will not be a candidate for
Mayor of Detroit at the special election
April 5th. This negative programme
was decided upon at a meeting Of the
Governor and several of his advises
which lasted nearly the whole OF last
night.
The "Old Man" as His Excellency is
familiarly called by his followers,
wanted to vindicate himself as against
the Supreme Court decision in ousting
him by permitting the Republicans to
nominate him for Mayor, believing he
would be triumphantly reelected. Most
of his advisers at the meeting. how
ever. especially those from other parts
of the State. insisted that it was his
first duty 10 remain Governor to the
end of the term and not TO permit
Lieut.. Governor Dunstan TO succeed
him. After hours of discussion the
chief gradually came around to this
view. The meeting finally decided TO
recommend that the city convention
nominate Capt. Alebrt f.. Stewart,
Detroit vessel owner and member Of
the Legislature. to succeed Pingree as
Mavor The Republican convention
had adjourned until tomorrow TO
await PingTee's wishes, and the Demo-
cratic city convention Saturday ad-
iourned until Tuesday in order to learn
what the Republicans are going TO %.
