4 RISE IN PRICES
The Cost Price of Paper and Lerther
Advanced

New York, September 20.-News pa
the last three weeks. The newspapers
of New York city, according 10 an Of
fetal Of the company which supplies all
but two Of the papers printed in this
city, use 400 tons OF paper daily at a
cost of 2 cents a pound. The recent
sharp advance means $4,000 a day more
to the newspapers, or $4,000 a year
over the price which has heretofore OBJ
tanned. The cost of the consumption is
now $4,000 a day. The tendency is to
raise the price still higher. The ad-
n is partly due to the drouth o.
last summer, which seriously impaired
the water power of the paper mills.
Book paper has also gone up Il ceI.t
a pound, and letter paper from q
cent to 1 cent a pound.
The price of shoe leather a gone
up from 2R to 5 per cent. within the
last week, owing to the scarcity OF
coWhide material. Shoe manufacturers
have signed contracts with wholesale
II retail shoe houses which will not
expire for months to come and SO the
patrons Of retail houses will not fee
| the advance until December. In the
meantime, the manufacturers who have
bound themselves by contract will be
the sufferers from the rise in price. A
| sharper advance has been made in the
! price of crude soleleather. For two
| months the cost has been steadily go
| ing up and yesterday it had advanced
6 cents per pound above the marke
price paid in August. Still highel
prices are looked for by manufacturers
The increased cost is due to tn,
scarcity of cattle as compared with tn,
demand.

Mr.. Zadoc Case. one Of the eldest citi-
zens of this town, died about 10 o'clock
yesterday morning at the home of his son
in Gaithersburg. Several months ago Mr..
Case was stricken with paralysis, and,
about five six weeks ago, before he had
fully recovered he suffered another stroke,
which resulted in his death. He is sur
vived by two children, John Case and Mrs.
George Crawford of Gaithersburg. De-
ceased was eighty-nine years of age the
day of his death. The funeral took place
this afternoon the interment being in the
cemetery at Neelesviile.
An interesting clay pigeon shoot was
given at Gaithersburg yesterday by the
Gaithersburg Gun Club. All of the crack

The prizes, which consisted of live tur-
keys and money, were captured by the
following gentlemen: Thos. o. White Geo.

the recent blizzard. He had been about
his farm looking after his stock, and while
returning to and within a short distance
stuck in a snowdrift. His cries attracted
the attention of two of his farm hands,
who went to his aid. He is now able to
get about.

Mr.. MASON tNDlGNAN T
Denounces the Nomination of Kohlsaat to Be
Judge.
Says That the President Promised to
Select Man Agreeable to the
, Illinois Senator's.

The first openly announced breach be-
tween the President and a member of the
Senate of his own party was made yester-
day by the nomination of Christian c.
kohlsaat as judge for the northern district
of Illinois The offended senator is Mr..
Mason of Illinois. In an interview dictated
yesterday afternoon Mr.. Mason said that
the President had made the nomination to
humiliate him, and that he would fight the
b confirmation of Mr.. Kohlsaat in the Senate.
The circumstances recall the memorable
fight made by Senator Conkling on the
nomination of Judge Robertson by Presi-
dent Garfield to be collector at New York.
1t has been expected that Ephraim c.
Banning would receive the nomination. He
was agreed upon by Senators Mason and
Cullom some time ago. and Senator Mason,
who had submitted the name to the Presi-
dent. thought that Mr.. Banning would get
the place without doubt. Mr.. Banning was
one of the many applicants for the judge
ship, and In addition to the support of the
two senator's had the backing of five of the
seven representatives in the House from
Chicago. Mr.. Kohlsaat is a brother of H.
H. kohlsaat, editor and owner of the Chi
cago Times-Herald. The Times-Herald was
one of the notable supporters of President
Mckinley in the campaign of 1896, and
there exists warm personal friendship be-
tween the President and Mr.. kohlsaat of
the Herald
Senator Mason's statement yesterday is
as follows:
1.-The last time I saw the President he
expressed the wish that Senator Cullom
and l should agree on candidate, saying
that it would relieve him of the RESPONSE
bilfty, and on several subsequent occasions
he intimated that that would settle the
question. l agreed with Senator Cullom
and five out of the seven Chicago repre-
sentatives joined in the request that he
appoint Mr.. Ephraim Banning.

The Times Herald is an Independent
newspaper, and for some time has not been
on good terms with the regular republican
organization of Cook county. Judge Kohl
saat, however, has been a republican for a
| long time, and has been honored by the or
| ganization at different times. He is at
present a judge of the probate court of
Cook county.
1t is said that the President notified SEN
ator Cullom of his intention to nominate
MIR. Kohisaat. and the senator has offered
no public remonstrance
