Smuggling across the Canadian border has
always prevailed, but the United States has gen.
orally been the country into which the SNUG.
Cling was done. Now it is the other way, and
the business of getting articles across the lins
without paying the duties has of late reached
quite serious proportions. The Canadian reve
nue. has decreased thirty per cent in the last
three years, and this illegitimate trading is be
lieved to be largely to blame for it.

vegetation shot forward with great rapidity; but

showers, did not visit the northern portions of the
county, where they have had no rain to speak of
since the 9Th. More rain has fallen all along from
farther South and West, as in Baltimore, than
here.
The Signal Office report for May shows an I'M
usual dry month all over North America. from

Our district has been favored, and nothing as yet

DUELLING WITH PAPER WADs.

George NJ. Miller, a lawyer, quarreled
on Thursday with Hermann, a saloon
keeper at Union and Randolph streets.
They agreed to fight with pistols. On
Friday each chose his second, and all
the arrangements for the encounter were
carried out. 1t was the intention to
have had the affair take place at Doug
las Park, but that resort was abandoned
because of report which reached the
seconds that a squad of police had been
sent tos the spot to arrest the duellists.
The principals and their friends, filling
half a dozen carriages, repaired, at 4
O'Clock in the afternoon, to Humboldt
Park, where the shooting took place
The weapons used were navy revOlvers.
The seconds had loaded the guns with
paper wads. A cent was tossed up as to
who should have the first shot, Hermann
won. He blaZed away at his antagonist
and seemed surprised to see him survive
his deadly aim. Then Miller braced
himself and took a whack. The paper
wad struck Hermann on the wrist, and
he was easily persuaded that he had
been shot, but not fatally. While fImb
ling about him some one applied little
anodyne to his face. A pocket looking.
glass was produced, and he was given
an opportunity to examine the wounds
in his face. The sight of what he sup
posed to be blood exasperated him, and
made him all the more impatient to fin.
ish his adversary. -Four shots were fired
by each of the contestants, but the fight
was a bulletless and bloodless affair
When the adversaries had been told that
the pistols had been loaded with paper
they acknowledged that they had made
great asses of themselves. = Chicago
Times
