CRUELTY IN KID GLOVES.
Another Crime Equal to the Slaughter
of Birds.

importer. These Audubon receptions are a
fad in the East now, and they give the
Women's Humane Society a chance to ex-
city to innocent birds The protection of
birds is a worthy cause But while there
is movement to protect the birds, there
is another more horrible cruelty than the
slaughter of Songsters which is unheeded
1t is a cruelty, too, practiced for the ex-
press purpose of meeting the whims of fash
ion for the fair sex. / refer to the manu-
facture of kid gloves.
I'm the importing business one figures on
this country. Out Of the 70.0O00OO people in
the United States at least 100000 are
grown women of an age to wear kid gloves
but statistics show that only 10000 900 pairs
of kid gloves are imported to this country
annually. They are imported from France
which is said to make 1900 coo pairs a year.
When one stops to think that one woman
of fashion can easily wear one hundred
pairs of kid gloves during the year espe-
cially in the high society circles of the East
ern cities, it would seem that there are a
great many women in this country there
fore, who do not wear kid gloves. Our large
cities are immense consumers of kid gloves.
New York stores sell a larger number of
kid gloves to the average woman inhabitant
than any other city. except Paris, which, Of
course, does large trade with it's floating
transents.
THE center of the glove trade has al
ways been at Grenoble, a mountain CITY of
5000 people, in France. The raw skins
manufactured there in one year are valued
at 81 100000. When made into 10 coo 900 pairs
of gloves the value is doubled. The making
ND of the skins provides employment to 3d.
900 people.
THE skins for the so-called real kid
gloves come from France, Italy, Spain.
Mexico and South America France ranks
first in the supply of skins, and also ranks
first in the cruelty which characteriZes the
business. Extreme care is taken in raising
the kids, and the little animal is even sewed
in a cover or blanket to keep the delicate
skin in perfect condition. In the meantime
the kid grows until the cover inficts untold
pain The little animal writhes in torture
at times. But we never hear of ladies form
ing society TO protest against the use of
kid gloves as has been tried with the Audu-
bon Society for suppressing the fashion of
birds on hats. But the birds are not abso-
lutely necessary, or at least substitute
can be used for decoration. while nothing
will replace a good kid glove on we'll
dressed woman of to-day. / might saw that
the skins from Chile and along the Andes
mountains are particularly sought after for
suede gloves.

THE CRAZE FOR GOLD.
More Honey Gone Into the KIOndike
than Has Come Out.

than Has Come Out.
w. E. Curtis's Washington Special to Chi
cagO Record
More money has gone into the Klondike
already than has come out of it," said a
scientist in the employ of the government
yesterday. People have spent more to get
there than they have brought back When
a man finds a nugget or strikes gravel that
pays 81 to the pan you always hear of it,
but you never hear of those who don't. Gold
stories are like fish stories, and miners, like
fishermen are always liars. l have no
doubt there is an enormous amount of gold
in Alaska, but 80 per cent. of the people
who go there after 1t VIII not pay their
expenses. That is the record of every min
ing craze that has ever struck this or any
other country. 1t is the doom of the ma
jority to get left For every man who has
got rich prospecting for gold or silver nine
ty-nine have forfeited their entire time and
investment. Just about as many people
make fortunes in mining as draw prizes
in lotteries and the chances or getting rich
are about even between the two methods -
In their annual statement, which is con-
sidered as high authority, the Wells-Fargo
Express Company give the gold product of
Alaska for 1887 as S3571 coo, of which about
half came from the TreadWell and other eS-
tablished mines and the balance from the
klondike. The duty of collecting statistics
regarding that country belongs properly to
the Canadian government, so that DIR. David
II. Day. chief Of the mineralogical division
of the Geological Survey, is able to give
only a personal estimate IN regard to the
output
1t is my Judgment" he said, that the
product taken out has been greatly eXag-
gerated, but be that as 1t may. there is no
doubt that enough gold has been taken out
as to make really a sensational amount
considering. of course, the limited facili-
ties in the way of machinery and the I'M
skilled character of the labor The amount
that has been taken cut per days work has
been very large. In other words, the aver
age per pan is comparable with the placers
of California in the days of 10. This wash
ing pan. though looking like an ordinary
dish pan is really tool the slant of its
so that it will perform the greatest amount
OF work possible. Each wash of 4 pan
yields about 80 cents, and the men using
pans are undoubtedly washing about SIS
worth Of gold a day apiece
"A great deal Of the amount OF gold that
has been brought from the Xlondike has not
been washed. but has been picked up in the
shape Of little nuggets, OF which there
