ERMINE IN GREAT DEMAND.
Tho Supply IN England Is Not sunicicnt
for the Coronation Demands.

The English newspapers say that the
supply Of ermine In the local market IL not
sufficient for the state robes that must be
worn by the nobility at the coronation
ceremonies In June next. The ermine
being only about ten inches In length, i2o
Of his skins are required for the cape and
collar worn by a noble on great state oc-
casions. The result Of the present large
demand Ia that the price Is high and is sttl
rising. The sum Of s+S Is now asked for
stimber' Of forty skins. These are not
picked skins, but Of average good quality.
The price OF the very finest skins Is some
timee az high a. 81 so apiece, though large
quantities Of average sk1ns nave some
times boon cold a. low a. 26 cents apiece.
As result OF the demand the SloerlSn ian
animal is found In other countries, including
the northern part Of America, but the
Siberian nkin brings the best ,price. Most
Siberian furs come from the northern
forest region, but this Is not the case witn
the ermine, whose favorite home Is In
thickets and scrubby country; go II is found
mainly south OF the Siberian Railroad in
the western part Of Siberia. One tTapper

MISS FRANCES I. WHEELER

The tidings of a sudden and tragic death of Miss Frances l. Wheeler, of New Haven, at Bristol, Rhode Island, has been a great shock to her friends here, especially to the congregation of Dwight Place church, of which she had been for 9 years one of the most active and valuable members. Miss Wheeler's death by drowning was the result Of impaired health, from which she had suffered for five years, finally becoming an aggravated case of nervous disease, amounting at last to temporary insan- ity-as the physicians under whose care she had been at the Hopeworth Sanl- tarium for the past five months, have no doubt was the cause of her disap- pearance from their care, and the dis covery of her body on the sands Of the shore. Miss Wheeler was woman in the prime of life and one endowed with high intellectual powers and much originality.
 She had been an active worker in the Dwight Place Sunday school ever since she was a young girl and was considered by all the most valuable worker in the church. Under her su- pervision the primary department be- came so flourishing and the children so interested in their work that her value became known to the State Sun day School Union, which finally engag- ed her at large salary to take the po- sition of state superintendent of pri- mary work. Her zeal and ambition knew no limit and it was due to this fact undoubtedly that the overstrained nerves gave way at last. For years af-

 The young people who compose the choir held lawn party on the church green, on July l7th, where ice cream and cake was sold for the purpose of obtaining money with which to pur- chase more singing books, the supply of which is altogether inadequate to the needs of the church. The weather being quite unpleasant, many who eX- pected to attend were disappointed and are asking that the party may be repeated. Despite the rain, very pleasant evening was spent by those who were fortunate enough to be pres ent. Something over $9 was realized.
