MONEY IN MAINE sKUNKS.
They Are Worth as Much as All the Deer Killed in That State
 in a season.

1t will no doubt surprise many pe0- pie who learn that the despised skunk is worth twice as much to Maine as IS the much-admired honey bee, but such is the fact; and, counting things at their actual worth, the skunk is worth about as much as all the deer killed in Maine in a season, says the Philadel- phia Record. The skunk is valuable both for his fur and for the oil that is in him, and both the oil and the fur are in ever-increasing demand.
 Fashions in furs regulates the price of skunk skins. Four years ago the coat of a dark skunk was worth $2.50 to three dollars, and the demand ex- ceeded the supply. Since then the muskrat has come into favor, and the price of skunk skins has fallen to about two dollars for the best. When, how ever, there are dozen fat skunks to be had on every acre of meadow land, when hardwood club is the only weapon needed for killing them, and when every fat skunk contains at least quart of oil, worth five dollars a gallon at wholesale, there is money in the business.
 Most of the skunk belts are shipped to Philadelphia firm, where they are made up into furs for export to France and Germany, in whcih coun- tries they pass as monkey skins It is estimated that Maines revenue from skunks amounts to $150,000 or $175,0 ,0e0 annually, which is double the sum de- rived from all the honey bees in the state, and certainly more than all the 5000 deer shot are worth to the men who kill them From 100000 to 150,- 900 skunks are killed in Maine every fall.
 The demand for oil is steadily in- creasing, and the price has advanced 50 cents to one dollar a gallon within year The natives prize the oil for its virtues as a cure for rheumatism and stiff joints, and large quantities of it are bought by country traders and sent to druggists out of the state.
 It is estimated that the annual pro- duction of skunk oil in Maine exceeds 25,000 gallons, and the quantity is in creased by adulteration with the fatty oils obtained from hens and wood- chucks, deception which has proved most profitable to the skunk magnates

A JEW PREACHER.

Rev. A. Lichtenstein of St. Louis, superintendent of the Jewish Christian Mission, is in our city and will preach three times next Sunday, morning and at 3 o'clock and again at night. His subject in the afternoon will be very interesting as he will preach on Past, Present and Future of the Jew" in connec- tion with the second coming of Christ.
 Bro. Liclrtenstein was con- verted fourteen years ago while a business man. A few months later he laid down his business to begin preaching to his people.
Newport daily independent., 1904-01-08

He spent some time in theologi- cal seminary training and went directly to New York City where he preached seven years as a missionary among the Jews. He has now seven years been a superintendent of the Jewish mission work in St. Louis where his work has been greatly blest and heartily endorsed and sup ported by leading pastors and churches of that city. He is soon to begin the erection of the first Hebrew Christian church in America.

The first enter prise to feel the effects of this damphoolishness Chats Latin) was the Celia Commission Co.,, which recently opened an office in the Reynolds build ng on Main street. The business is a legiti- mate one and is run in all of the larger cities without being mo- tested, but had scarcely begun business here until they were threatened with prosecution un- less they shut down. While the business is strictly legitimate in every particular, the company did not feel disposed to engage in a lawsuit here as they did not consider the game worth the am munition, and accordingly closed down and threw two of our citi. zens out of good jobs. But what's the difference?

"War Songs and Poems"

Miss Nellie Griffith has secured
the agehcy for very handsome
work entitled War Songs and
Poems,' complied by DIR. ii. NJ.
Wharton, and dedicated to the
Confederacy's beloved hero, Gen:
John b. Gordon. Miss Griffith
has approached a number of our
citizens in the interest of the work
and has been very successful thus
far. 1t is her intention to devote
the money she makes to some
charitable purpose, and we may
say that the book, with the added
incentive of helping sweet charity,
should be in the home of every
resident of this section. The
poems are set to music, and the
songs are ones that will live for
ever in the memory of those who
followed the Confederacy.
