JACK-RABBITS SHUT OUT.

TOPEKA. Kan, Jan. l.-War has boon declared
against tho big packers Of the United States by
the Kansas Jack.rabbit Packing Company,
whose chief office is at Clay Centre. 1t is be-
cause the packers have a combine that controls
all the refrigerator space in the ocean steamers
running between New York and Liverpool.
Samuel Langworthy. President OF the Jack
rabbit Packing Company. wrote to Z. B. Boyd.
general freight agent of the Rock Island Rail
sosdj ior ocean rates on five carloads Of jack

tangworthy desired to ship from Now York to
Liverpool. Mr.. Boyd repl ed:
We are unable to quote the ocean rate, as
the packers have contracted for all refrigerator
space on the Liverpool lines"
PRESIDENT Langworthy is out with o bitter
oenunciation OF the packers combine which he
declares will ruin the jack-rabbit industry In
Kansas IL II cannot be broken up. He says tho
t1rmers OF Kansas have just as much right to
XIII. pack and ship jack.rabbit meat to foreign
markets as the packers combine have. and no

Marks Other Furs Down.

AS has been my custom for a numbss
of years, / will mark down prices on
coats, capes, collarettes, mutfs, of Persian
Lamb, Mink, Alaska Sable (Skunk), Err
mine, &c. Have also made a deep cut In
the prices of Mems fur-lined Overcoats.
Sleigh Robes, &c.
No matter how cheap an article may be,
IL il does not wear well or give satisfaction
n merchant cannot hold his trade. l am not
spending money advertising imitation and
trashy furs which will not wear well, but
will adhere to the rule of selling genuine
Furs made up in the latest styles, elegantly
finished, at the lowest possible prices.
My stock of Sealskin consists only of the
genuine Alaska, London dyed. We hope,
however, in the near future that we will be
able to dress and dye sealskin In America
as well as England. Then, too, there Is no
reason why New York should not do the
largest fur business of the world, because
America supplies 70 per cent. of all the furs
worn in the world. Goods are manufac-
tured better, skins are dressed better, and
the only advantage England has is in the
character of the dye of sealskin. America
surpasses in dyeing Otter and Beaver, and
Germany in dycing Persian Lamb. l only
handle furs which are dressed and dyed In
the nations which excel in their specialties.
Respectfully,

Former Announcement.

Readers of THE SUN will remember I
announced that l would compete with Eu-
ropean prices, and in order to do so | took
$25 off the usual profits made on sealskin
coats. This amount | will now restore, so
that my prices for Sealskin garments until
further notice will be the same as they
prices against Europe. If merchants in
this or any other city have up.to-date
Alaska Sealskin coats which they desire
to sell at the old prices, it will not be
necessary for them to spend money in ad.
vertising them. because | am ready to buy
Alaska Sealskin coats for spot cash. pro-
viding they are properly made; but I would
not purchase the China, Japan, Northwest
Coast or the inferior grades of Seal, which
do not give satisfaction at any price, be-
cause l could not recommend them.

know at n glance when tho letters wero intended
for Brooklyn, Long Island City, or some other
part OF the greater city. II orders had been
issued to the effect that in instances Of this
character the distributor could turn the malls
into the Brooklyn pouches as soon as the mis-
take was discovered there would have been no
particular DELAY. In tho absence of any such
instructions. however. the letters were sent to

II tho name Of the borough was included in the

experienced. II n letter was addressed to the
borough Of Queens, 1t took time to determine
whether 1t was intended for Long Island City,
Flushing or some other part of the borough.
The greatest difficulty Is anticipated from
letters addressed to streets in old New York

In Brooklyn. In these contingencies II the mis-.
take is not nscertained at once letters will be
delivered to the address in old New York, and
when refused will be sent to Brooklyn or some

some of those who returned from Europe
such an active part in securing the passage
of a just law, after they became satisfied
that there wero no selfish motives, but that
my work was done for the benefit of the
country, they concluded that it was safer
to deal with a man who had the courage of
his convictions and did an honorable bust
ness rather than deal with that class who
are anxious to have protection, but who are
afraid to stand up and assert their rights.
