Animals Free OF Duty.

The secretary of the treasury has decided
that to entitle animals to admission free OF
duty satisfactory proof must be made that
they are specially imported for breeding pur.
poses. He further defines the statutes as fol.
lows: "The law does not require that tho an
imals shall be imported solely for breeding
purposes, but it does require that they shall
be specially imported for breeding purposes
(although they may be intended also, as mares
usually are for labor), and is understood to
require satisfactory proof that ono of tho lead.
ing purposes Of the importer is that the ami
mails shall be used for breeding. If upon the
production of the formal proof, the collector
has doubts, either from the character OF con-
dition of tho animals, the general course OF
business, or from any other circumstance, that
tho animals arc intended for breeding pur-
poses, affirmative proof should be required
on that point. If, for instance, mares are i'm.
ported for the purpose of being placed at work
ON horse railway, or heifers, cows, or ewes
are imported for the purposes of slaughter,
although in both cases they may be capable OF
breeding, they are in no proper sense specially
imported for breeding purposes, and are not
exempt from duty"

"Thore is your simon-pure tramp,"l said
the hotel man on Saturday, and standing in
front Of the Ebbitt house was tho man in
question He leaned against the iron rail-
ing, in all the shabbiness of his vagabondlsm,
and every one about there noticed the re.
markable fact that he was talking with a
lady who stood in tho waiting room, we'll
dressed and apparently travelling patron of
the house. 1t struck all as most uncom-
mon, and the fellow was decidedly uncom-
Portable under tho scrutiny Of which he
was the center, though he tried hard
to appear Indifferent, like one who had been
accustomed all his life TO lounge in front of
first-class hotels and talk to ladies. Tho hotel
man said he didn't know what tho lady was
doing around there, and when she noticed
that sho was watched, she looked nervously
out of the window, said something in a low
tone to the man, and no went away. Whether
ho pretended to bo asking for money and
succeeded in getting some from her, or
not, was not plain, but as he turned
and went down around the corner
he carelessly tossed a nickel in the air and
caught IL in his palm, all the time oying the
men who stood about half carelessly watch
ing his movements. After while he came
back, but seeing the samo mon still In tho
vicinity, he lounged for moment by the
treebox and disappeared.
Three men in group were so curious as to
have theories of tho performance.
One said he was sailor, and had found, in
passing the hotel, n faco he knew, and could
not resist the opportunity TO stop and speak.
The theory was not bad one. Tho man was
tanned by exposure, wore fur cap without
a vizcr, and had clothes that evidently had
been just pulled out Of trunk Ho was appar-
emily about 49, and the woman or 10 years
younger. The hotel man looked sharply at
them, and she tried to appear like one wait
ing for somebody.
Another bystander had a theory that they
woro separated couple met unexpectedly
she decent and with evidences of having got
ON fairly we'll in the world, and ho gone TO
the dogs. That was not bad theory either,
and IL was plain that their conversation was
interrupted without being finished.
The third of the party, being naturally sus-
picious, was sure they were hotel thieves, and
that this mysterious conversation had TO do
with plans for robbing the house; but this
theory was not good one. Thieves are not
so open in their conferences.
They disappeared, leaving speculations Of a
possible romance, robbery, or tragedy pic
ture note and put away with those that cannot
be labeled. Timo and circumstance must find
the key. 1t was the wreck Of man, and the
lady know him we'll. The imagination can
surround it with stories to suit the taste.
