collection of sables in the world. The

123,000.
"A sable skin Is It inches long and
lnches wide, with a tall of I Inches.
A fine, dark skin Is worth $150. An ex
ceptionally fine one Is worth 1350.
"Otter Is the only fur that requires
no dressing. It la beautiful, but women
dislike It because It Is so heavy. It Is
mostly used for the collars and cuffs
of men's coats,
."A silver fox skin, when black. Is very
expensive often It : Is worth 1400. A
Chicago woman has a mantis lined and
trimmed with sliver fox that cost
$10,000. :

that he once led a mob of lawbreaker
against Ue old colirnrsn
tempt -to rascus a fugiUva-alava-aven
using a stick of timber to batter-down
the door but he did. Her la the story
as Mr. Trowbridge telle It. though first,
please .remember that Boston was a
large union station at that time for the
"underground railroad." ' r : -
"It was not easy at that time to take
a runaway elaye out of Boston; secrecy
and subterfuge had to b used without
much-regard -for-the-forms- of taw;
Burns, like Slmms. was arrested on a
false pretext and hurried before Vntted
States Commissioner Edward O. Xorlng
before It waa' known that kidnapers
were again In the city.
'It had been hoped that the rescue of
Rhadrach and the tremendous difficul
ties encountered in th , rendition of
Slmms, would i sufficiently discourage
similar attempts, aa Indeed .they did for
a time.- But Burns - had -really. been
seised, not ror any petty offense, as
pretended, but as a fugitive from tb
serylo of Charles F.- Buttle, a Tlrglnl
slaveholder.
"Tha truth became quickly known
desplta tha - precaution .taken to - oon
ceal it. and the report which became
the rallying cry to the friends of the
oppressed. "Another man kidnaped!"
ran with electrio swiftness through the
city. . . . , .. - w
"Commissioner Lorlng was also Judge
of probate and a man of eminent re
spectability. In his prlvata life he was
no doubt Just and humane. I ' Was
present and watched his face with pain

his duty without any betrayal of emo
tion. HIS face was slightly flushed.
but firm.
My pity was not air for. ths slave;
soms of it was for such a man in such
a place. On a bench before him sat
Theodore Parker and Wendell Phillips,
the great preacher and tha brilliant ora
tor, whose certain and terrible denun
ciations of ' what he was about to do
might well havs made him pause.:
Without a tremor of lip or of voice
he coldly reviewed the evidence and the
law In the case and remanded Anthony
Burna toalavery Then - Parker and
Phillips-arose and walked, arm 'In arm.
out of the courtroom conversing In low
tones with bowed head and lowering
brows. - : 7 ' . . ..
"Meanwhile Boston' wasIn a turmoil
of excitement. Public meetings were
held, an Immense one In Fsneull' hall
on the evening preceding the removal
of the fugitive; and that night there
was a-gallant but Ill-timed attack upon
t h court house in -which waa eon
fined. A stick of timber was used a
a battering ram against ona of the west

was a melee of exes, bludgeons and fire

But the asssllants, led by. that ardent
