How He Cheated Them.
A well-known diamond smLggler
whom the New York custom house de-
tectives have in vain tried to seize, not
long since sailed from sntwerp on the
Rhynland. A Hamburg detective came
over with him to watch him the whole
voyage. The clever smuggler wore a
thick, black beard apd whiskers, and it
was suspected that he carried his pre-
cious freight concealed in them. One
morning not long ago the authorities on
this side received dispatch from their
Hamburg agent, which read: "R. has
shaved his beard. Did not know it UNI
til he had sailed five days. He is on
the Rhynland. Has got seventy large
diamonds on his person" As soon as
the Rhynland was sighted six custom
house officers steamed down and inter-
cepted her. They looked for the now
beardless man. Just as they were about
to give up the search stranger asked:
"You are custom house officers and You
look for Rosenberg with the diamondsp"
1--WE are and we do" THAT is Rosen-
berg and the diamonds are sewed to the
lining of his neck-tie." In another
minute o pale, smooth-faced, sallow
man was struggling in their hands.
His scarf was taken from his neck and
carefully explored with sharp pen
knife. Twenty diamonds ofvarious sizes
were found. His trunk was next rum
mayed, every neck-tie searched, and IS
diamonds of great luster discovered.
The fellow wept and wrung his hands.
When the custom house officers arrived
at headquarters the chief, who held a
cablegram in his hand eagerly inquired:
"Did you get Rosenberg" "Yes, sill"
"Where were the stonesp" "Sewed in
the Innings of the neck-ties. ~ THAT
rather strange" remarked the chief.
Here's a Hamburg dispatch which
says, Just learned that r. carried the
diamonds between his back and q po-
rous plaster ~ "Here are the dia-
monds, anyhow" said the leader of the
raid; sand we found them in the lining
of his neck-ties." The chief looked at
the diamonds and said: "Send the jewel
expert here" He came, examined the
diamonds, shrugged his shoulders, and
said; paste, but frst-class." Three
frantic officers spent the afternoon trac-
ing Mr.. Rosenberg. They discovered
him at the Metropolitan hotel, and with
out word of ceremony burst into the
apartment. "What do you wantp" he
