A Sufferers Dying Laugh.
brooklyn Cor. Chicago HeraId.l


Henry Pugsley, an unmarried English
man, aged forty-five, committed suicide at
his lodgings, 301 Hudson street, this city,
recently by severing the main artery Of
his left wrist. He had been in bad health
for some time, suffering from cancerous
affliction. Among the effects of the un-
fortunate man was found a memorandum
book, upon one of the leaves Of
which was written the following:
'It makes me laugh to think that
1 am dying here alone a miserable
death and have a millionaire brother"
Investigation proved that he had broth.
er living at 1873 Cumberland street, who is

thing to do with the body of the suicide,
but finally relented and promised to give
the remains decent burial.

CALIFORNIA SMUGGLERS
Ingenious Methods of Getting Contraband
Opium Into San Francisco.

Ingenious Methods of Getting Contraband
Opium Into San Francisco.
On one occasion recently boatmaL
who has acquired comfortable for
tune by handling illicit opium carried
off can containing one hundred and
fifty pounds of the ''Mongolian's de.
light" while the Government employees
were watching his every movement.
The can was taken from coal-pile in
the fire-roOm of the steamer to the
deck and swung over the side of the
vessel and into the smuggler's boat.
When the boatman reached the wharf
he was pounced upon by the customs
men and his boat carefully searched.
The opium was not found, but it
reached Chinatown without paying
duty before the sun rose next morning.
Another incident of recent occur
renee, which serves to illustrate the
manner in which smuggling opera
tions are conducted from the vessels
side, may here be related. Four steam
ship repairers in small boat were on
the port side. close under the bow, and
were being carefully regarded by the
customs officers, who rightly suspected
the object of their maneuvers, al
though they had no hint as to the
means to be employed. Suddenly the
boat careened in the most unsuspi-
cious manner, shipping about six
inches of water. A moment later one
of the men in the boat sang out to
man standing near the ash-chute:
Here, pass us down plank. / don't
want to stand here with my feet in
shis water"
A four by-four-inch piece of timber
five feet long, and containing forty
pounds Of opium, was passed through
The chute and placed in the bottom of
che boat Two of the men stood on
the timber while the repairs were
being made and the boat was then
taken under the wharf, where the
plank was transferred to another boat
and taken ashore. This means of
smuggling was adopted on day when
it was understood that more than ordi-
nary vigilance was being exerted by
the Government officials.
Sometimes when old boiler tubes are
being replaced by new ones quantities
of opium are taken ashore after having
been packed in the middle of the tube.
When a large number of tubes are to
be taken from steamship this system
of smuggling is found to work very
well, for after having inspected the
first two or three lots the searchers
naturally relax their vigilance and
twenty OF thirty ''fxed" tubes are then
easily passed.
A cabbage head, bale of alfalfa, an
old fruit can, or even the handle of
Japanese parasol. may be made to do
service in the manipulation of the
.scontraband'' before the eyes of the
iEspeetors.-san Francisco : Chronicle

Madame Ceres Queer Freak.
TCuthbert (Ga.) Appeal

We were shown Tuesday quite curios-
ity from the farm of Mr.. John d. Miller,
near town. 1t was cluster OF forty or
more small ears of corn, each about as
long and large around as the middle fin
ger on mans hand, and coming out of
the stock where the tassel should have
been. No shuck protected the corn, but,
instead, a heavy silk about two feet long
fell off in graceful manner, the whole
supported by an ordinary sized stalk, par
italy matured. This unusual freak Of
Nine. Ceres attracted considerable atten-
ton and viii, doubtless, be preserved by
Mr.. Miller as curiosity worthy to be
handed round at the different State fairs
until eclipse by some more ambitious
agriculturist.

while ell route from his mines in the South

snake with his whipstock. and while re-
turning to his wagon, few yards distant,
struck another with his foot, when it
sprang up and fastened its fangs in his
hand. He seized the reptile with his left
hand and tore it loose and stamped it to
death, and at once sucked the wound, ex-
tracing the poison, which act undoubted-

post, distance Of thirty miles, suffering
the most intense pain. His hand and arm

DEFYING THE FREsHET.

Two Lovers on the Other.
buckingham @. H. IN. CO. speciaLI
The high waters throughout North Car
olina were the cause of romantic mar
riage in Rockingham County yesterday.
Mr. James Madison Stout and Miss Polly
Mickle, one of the most beautiful young
ladies in this county, started to get mar
ried. They were accompanied by small
wedding party. When they reached
Jones Greek they found the water was so
high that they could not cross. They
were going to the parsons on the other
side.
ssI'll swim across" said Tony Bush, the
groom's best man, "and bring the preacher
to the other bank, and he can marry you
from there"
He soon had Parson Hazlett on the op-
posite shore. He gave him Jim's license
and told him to proceed.
"Join hands, my friends" shouted the
parson, and from across the stream he
made them man and wife.
"Three cheers for the American eagle !"
cried the groom, as he swung his hat in
the air. "Parson, here's to the weather,
and here's to the tide, and here's kiss to
my bonny bride. Tony, hand the parson
that fve-dollar bill, and be on hand to-
night at the frolic at Mamma Stout's."
"God bless you both" cried the parson,
cheerily, waving one hand and stuff1ng
the money in his trousers pocket with the
other.

Every woman Knows Them.

The human body is much like a good
clock or watch in its movements; if one
goes too slow or too fast so follow all the
others, and bad time results; if one organ
or set of organs works imperfectly, pei YER
sion OF functional effort of all the organs
is sure to follow. Hence it is that the nu-
merous ailments which make woman's life
miserable are the direct issue Of the abnor-
NAL action of the uterine system. For all
that numerous class of symptoms-and ev-
cry woman knows them-there is one un-
