HUNTING OF sKUNKs IN MAINE
Massacre Begins by the Light of the
Full September Moon.

Inc september full moon will be
the time for hunting skunks in eastern
Maine, and about 100 of the unem-
plOyed cOuntrymen will take dogs and,
gong out to the meadows where the
fat grasshOppers are asleep, viii select
their game by the moons rays and
will kill and skin all the dark-coIored
skunks they can find, leaving those of
a lighter complexion to survive the
winter as best they can and bring up
a new brood for next falls killing.
Fashion in fur regulates the price
OF skunk skfnss Three years ago the
coat of a dark skunk was worth from
$3.50 to So and there were not
enough to supply the demand. Since
then the muskrat has supplanted the
skunk as the Wearer of a profitab bic
skin and only the very choicest of
skunk pelts sell for So this season.
But when there are from ten to a
dozen fat skunks to be had on every
acre Of meadow land, when a hard
wood club is the only weapon re-
CURED in the killing and when every
skunk, regardless of its color, holds
more than a quart of oil, which is
worth 5 gallon wholesale, there are
always men who will chase skUnks for
the money there is in the business.
From 100, 600 to 10000 skunks are
slain in Maine every year. The prac-
tice of killing the black ones and leav-
ing those of lighter color to perpet-
uate the race has reduced the income
has practically exterminated the dark
skunks but the demand for skunk oil
is steadily growing and the price has
gone up 81 a gallon since last year.
The oil is used by residents of
Maine, who esteem it highly for its
virtues in curing rheumatism and stiff
joints, and the druggists send many
gallons out of the state to be sold in
Boston and New York. It is probable
that nearly $4,000 gallons of skunk
oil is produced in Maine every year.
Most of that used locally is pure,
but some of the oil sent out of the
state is adulterated with fat obtained
from hens and woodchucks. As the
/ impure oil seems to effect as many
cures as the genuine article, the men
who work the imposition on the pub
lie stand small chance of detection.
Most of the skunk pelts taken in
Maine are sent to Philadelphia, where
they are tanned dipped in a black dye
and made Up into furs for export to
France and Germany, in which coun-
try they pass as money skins.
The killing of skunks begins in Sep
/ TEN Der and continues for about d
month, by which time all the fat ones
that contain oil have denned for the
winter. 1t is estimated that the Maine
skunks yield an annual revenue of
from S125.OOO to S150,0O0, which is
double the sum made from all the
honey bees in the state.-NeW York

SURGEONS USE BLUE LIGHT.
Valuable as an Anaesthetic, Say Two
Doctors of Geneva.

A rather new use of blue light has
been reported from Geneva-namely
it's use as an anaesthetic in dentistry.
In the course of some experiments to
ascertain the effects of light of differ
ent colors upon the nerves, Professors
Redard and Emery found that blue
light was very soothing. The some
what remarkable statement is made
that sixteen andIe-power blue
light, directed upon the eyes of pa
tient for three minutes, caused him to
lose sensitiveness to such an extent
that a tooth was painlessly extracted,
without after effects of any kind.
Whether the anaesthesia was general
or only local is not reported.
It is probable that had General
Pleasanton been a true scientist and
skillful experimentalist he might have
made some discoveries of value to the
world for, as DIR. Finsen himself has
said, THE general was on the right
track" In 1877 PleasantOn published
a little book with the following ex-
planatory title, 1.-THE Influence of the
Blue Ray of the Sunlight and of the
Blue Color of the Sky in Developing
Animal and Vegetable Life, in Arrest
ing Disease and in Restoring Health
in Acute and Chronic Disorders to HUI
man and Domestic Animals. as Illus
trated by the Experiments of General
A. J. PleasantOn and Others, Between
the Years 1861 and 1876"
and abounds in fallacious and dog
matte statements. One of his dicta is,
Light is the great source of terres-
trial electricity, magnetism and heat.
Quite a large portion of the book is
devoted to testimonials from physi-
clans and various others relating to
the efficacy of the blue-ray treatm ent
in cases of general ill-health, rheu-
matism etc. Pleasanton believed that
the results claimed by him were due
to the .'juxtaposition of plain uncol-
ored glass and blue glass in the pas
sage of sunlight and the transmitted
blue light of the armament and the
eliminated blue rays Of the sunlight
through them respectively, which
evolves an electromagnetic current
which imparts to vegetable or animal
life subjected to it an extraordinary
impulse TO the development of their
respective vigor and growth" He OBJ

covery and for the method of its ap-
observation-disclosures Chronicle.

SWENDSON IS SEVERE.
Opens His Vial of vitrioI on Davis
and Goodwin.

"The police and mayor of this town are
rotten" said Councilman S. A. Swendson
this morning.
IF the mayor claims he does not know
of the conditions existing in this town,
and pleads this as an excuse, he is Grim
inally negligent of his duty. He has ta-
ken his oath Of office to enforce the law,
and he should either enforce it or step
down and out If he doesn't get out he
ought to be thrown out continued the
Sixth ward councilman hourishing his
bottle of vitriol.

The place referred TO is at 115 East
Sixth street.
Il was told that in one place in the
rear room Of a drug store, back of the
prescription case, three of the policemen
were found drinking, and they walked out
without paying. This shows what sort of
relationship exists between the police de-
partment and the jointists.

Like Polycrates, a local magnate Of
the Vosges, has recovered his property
from the belly Of a fish. He had not,
however, thrown it away to prOpitiate
the gods, and to quite content to have
it back again. A fisherman on the
lake of Gerardmer caught a fine pike,
weighing something like thirty-two
pounds, and sold it for eight shillings
to the chief hotel of the place. IN
the kitchen the fish, on being cleaned
out. was found to contain Il small
leather purse, in which was $50 francs
in gold. The honest cook at once told
the hotel proprietor. who then remem-
bered that the local magnate in ques-
ton, who had stayed in the house the
week before, had accidentally dropped
his purse into the lake while out for
a row. The property thus miraculous
ly recovered has been returned to it's
owner, who identified the purse

STOP SMOKING ON A STAGE.
Mexican Authorities Arrest Actors and
Actresses, Who Pay Fines.


The law against sm6kfhg il. theatres
is being strictly applied and there is
no respect of persons in the matter.
On Tuesday night almost the entire
personnel of the actor folks of the
Renacimiento theater were marched
off to the comisariaa
The play for the evening was IA
"a In the first act Zaza, who is 8
play-actress seen behind the scenes, is
instructed in the book to light a ci-
used to it and enjoyed it. The other
actors, taking their cue from the lead
ing lady, also light up, and halo OF
smoke rises over them.
Heretofore they have carried out the
stage directions in this regard to the
letter. When the governor of theFed-
eraI district, GuillermO de Landa y
Escandon, recently ordered the strict
enfOrceme nt of the law against smok-
ing in theatres, even by the actors on
the stage, Senior Cardona, the manager
of the company, feared that the stag
ing of "Zaza" would be hurt to some
extent.
He states that he therefore applied
for d special permission in this case,
promising that all due precautions
would be taken, and understood that
the written permission was to be sent
him.
As soon as the whole party had be-
gun to smoke on the stage on Tuesday
night the police officer who was on
guard went behind the scenes and an
nounced that at the end of the play
he would take them all to the comb
saria.
Wher, the hour came, however, an
exception was made for Sonora Vir-
ginfa Fabregas herself on one of the
others promising to pay her fine.
Senores Cardona, Haro, CalvO, Solares,
Pardave, Sanchez, Garlic, Junquera
and Cervantes were all brought to the
third precinct police station and were
let go only when each had paid his
fine = Mexican Herald.

He BURNED $1,000.
Murderer Destroyed Money While in
Hiding in Bank Vault.

Bloomington. Ill. Oct. 30.-It was
learned today that William Leduce,
who killed Mayor Nickel and Stockman
Hugh P. Jones at Chenoa Saturday
planned a raid on the bank with hopes
of escape. He visited his mothers
home Saturday and babe her farewell,
saying that he intended to leave the
country The loss of $40. 600 in the
settlement with his wife after she left
him and negotiated through Nickel
his brother-in-law, is believed to have
so preyed on his mind that he hoped
to recoup his loses through a raid on
the bank and escape. The marvellous
~ quick gathering of people on the
streets prevented his plans and he was
forced to retreat to the vault. He
burned 81, 800 in paper money in the
vault but left the silver untouched.
