SQUIRREL SKIN CRAZE.
Fashion Made to Help Along a
a Project of Russian Finance.
New York Sun.
The story of the sudden rise to
popularity of squirrel skin in the
world of dress this season is not
generally known. It was brought
about by the ingenuity of a Rus-
sian official.
For years and years certain Rus-
sian peasants in Siberia paid their
taxes in squirrel skins. This being
an old custom the Czar's Govern-
ment did not care to cause hardship
and breed discontent bv changing
it.
But there was little demand for
Russian squirrel skins. The whole
American trade took only 20000
skins per annum at the low price
of 12 cents each.
The skins accumulated in the
Russian Government warehouses in
Siberia. There were millions upon
millions of them piled up there.
The official in question knowing
that the skins were light in weight
soft and warm decided last year to
test the caprice of fashion in respect
to them. He went over to Paris
called upon a famous dressmaking
and persuaded him to use some of
the skins.
The idea was a success. Paris set
the pace. English society folk took
up the fashion and fashionable
Americans brought the squirrel
skin craze across the water to this
side.
The result in this country has
been that in 1902 the United States
imported nearjy 5000000 squirrel
skins at about 37 cents each whole-
sale as ag-iinst 20000 at 12 cents
each in 1901. The rest of the world
was equally liberal.
The great demand emptied the
Siberian warehouses of Russian
squirrel skins at a considerable
profit.

Pars the Highest Prices for Hides Skins and all Country Produce 2U
Columbus Ohio May 3. Rev.
Paul L. Johnson was dismissed
from the pastorate of St. Matthew
Lutheran church West Side by
the congregation today because of
his declaration made from the
pulpit that he has received some
new revelations in the Bible par-
ticularly with regard to the bap-
tism of the Holy Ghost and to faith
in Christ. He was remarkably suc-
cessful in his pastoral work at St.
Matthew church and had just com
pleted the erection of handsome
.edifice for his congregation.
The doctrine which he preached
to his congregation last Sunday for
the first time is that after earnest
and long praying one may receive
a real baptism of the Holy Ghost
and that after that they can heal
diseases and perform other miracles
by the aid of faith. He startled his
people by declaring that he had by
faith cured himself of a certain
throat trouble with which he had
been afflicted. Suddenly the trouble
returned while he was preaching
and he was scarcely able to speak.
He asked his people to pray with
him as the devil trying to over-
come him and after about ten min-
utes he announced a victory over
the devil and his voice returned
with its former power.

MACK WANTS CLEVELAND.
Suggests Platform of '"Tariff for
Revenue Only."
St. Louis Mo. May 3. Cleveland
for president m a platform of
"tariff for revenue only" is the pro-
gram suggested with some reserva-
tions for the democratic party in
1904 by Norman E. Mack demo-
cratic National conmmitteeman
from New York and editor of the
Buffalo Times. Mr. Mack in an
interview tonight declared that
Cleveland is more popular in New-
York now than ever before and
that he certainly can carry tho
State against Roosevelt.
The ovation given to Mr. Cleve-
land at tho liberal arts building
Thursday when the cheers for the
ex-president were as hearty and
prolonged as those for Mr. Roose-
velt himself have evidently con-
vinced Mr. Mack that Cleveland's
popularity is not confined to New
York. Mr. Mack said:
"There certainly will be a reor-
ganization of the party next year.
Everything goes to point this out
plainly. The issue of free silver is
dead now whatever it might have
been in 189G and imperialism is
hardly less dead'. The next cam-
paign will be fought along lines
very different from those which
marked the last two National
contests. It is hardly to be thought
that Mr. Bryan will again ask for
the nomination though he will be
a powerful figure in the convention
one to be reckoned with.
"But Mr. Bryan can not afford to
go contrary to the expressed will of
his party. I did not favor Cleveland
when he was nominated but I
voted for him. I did not favor
Bryan but I voted for him. If
Cleveland is nominated again I ex-
pect Mr. Bryan to support him just
as I will."
