HIGH-PRICED FURS.
The Wearing OF Fur Garments to he
an Expensive Luxury.

New 4 ork commercial Advertiser.
A marked increase in the price OF fur
has been made. A prominent dealer or
this city says that Persian fur is the only
variety which he will be able TO make
the same price as last winter. An illus
tration OF the great increase in the cost OF
skins is red fox pelt which few seasons
ago could be bought for $3.50 or s., and
how costs Sl2 at wholesale. To further
render. the wearing of furs an expensive
luxury during the coming season ii has
been decreed by fashion that boas shall
be worn very long, the shortest Of them
reaching to the knees and the longest
TO the bottom OF the gown. The boas are
also to be quite wide, so that IL will take
a very comfortable number of skins TO
fabricate fashionable neck piece Muffs,
not to be outdone, are to contain nearly as
much fur in their ornamentation as in
their actual construction. A drop piece
of fur containing the head and shoulders
of the animal is TO be added 10 muffs OF
long-haired fur This piece will be deco
rated with two tails also, so that when
the muff is held with the drop piece fall
ing at full length IL will reach nearly TO
the knees. The drop may be rolled up
with the muff, so as TO appear as IL sewed

are to be soft and fat instead of padded

vival of popularity. Chinchilla in spite
of its fragflity will be in high favor. A
newcomer in the market will be nat
ural otter and beaver, which have been
absent from popular usage for several
years. Dark-colored furs will excel light
ones in popularity. Mink and sables Will
be worn. Combinations of dark with light
furs will have a great run. Shawl coll

will meet with deserved favor. Coats.
especially those of sealskin. will be short
scarcely more than Elton length. There
will be also some very long coats but the
jacket of medium length has been rele-
gated to the background.

TO EXTEND THE HOLY YEAR.


WASHINGTON, Nov A.-The extension

indicates that this postponement is deemed

of pilgrims are still expected there from
all parts of the world.

Omaha, Neb., Dec. 23.-The result Of
twenty-four hours work on h part OF
the police of the city and a half hun
dred detectives has brought to light the
location Of the house in which Edward
Cudahy. Jr.. was held a prisoner for
nearly two days. and from which he
was returned to his home in the city
at a late hour Wednesday night.
The house is located four miles from
the city and in a place of easy access
but so situated as TO allow the despe-
radoes ample opportunity TO lay and
carry out their plans without molesta-
tion from inquiring ~neighbors. Within
easy communication with rail and
wagon roads leading In and out OF
Omaha and South Omaha, and on a
high knoll where sentinels could give
immediate alarm in case of necessity.
The one and a half-story shack had
been admirably chosen by the bandits.
No doubt exists In the minds of the
police as to the identity of the place.
Young Cudahy was taken to the house
and identified many features that he
had recognized
"hfte q blfnd-FOlder PRISONER.
The testimony Of the neighbors also is
Of a nature that led every one to believe
they have found the retreat of the abb
ductors. Evidences show that they
made a hurried departure when their
nights work was completed.
Sufficient clues have been discovered
by the police and detectives it is be-
lieved to eventually locate the crooks.
The police of every Western city have
been wired to look out for Pat Grove.
formerly of Omaha, now of Chicago,
where he has a brother in the saloon
business. The indications are that
Grove was chief of the gang. He is a
desperate character and has a long line
of daring criminal acts to his credit.
An official of the Omaha National
bank has confirmed Mr.. Cudahy's state
ment that he had withdrawn from that
Institution the $3.50 900 in gold. with
which the latter states he paid the ram
som to secure the return Of his son.
