A Neat Smuggling Scheme Comes to Light in
N1rr, N1rIr

A Neat Smuggling Scheme Comes to Light in
New York.
NEW YORK, April Especial Treasury
Agent Summons has unearthed one of the
most extensive smuggling operations
ever carried on ia this city. Thus far the
loss to the government amounts to about
$50 600, and it is ex pected the total will
finally foot up to $4,000. The firm is
Allard d Sons, of Paris, who have also
'brarch store in this city, and deal in
antiq uities, old furniture, articles of
virtu, paintings, tapestries and various
other articles of luxury. The discovery
was made through discharged agent of
the firm named Biossaire, who gave the
information to the customs authorities.
The scheme pursued by the firm was to
copsigu to their NV York house furEi-
ture, In which were concealed costly por-
tierre curtaIna, rich goblin tapestries,
etc. Customs duties were only paid on
the furniture. The purchasers were in
var1ably charged extravagant prices for
the articles, with the duties out OF which
the government had been swindIed,
added thereto.
The smuggling operations of illard d.
Sons, of Paris and New York, were the
main topic of CONVERSATION today at the
Office of the special treasury agents in
the custom house. The hitherto high
standing of this house, and the prominent
social and financial standing of its Gus
TONERS, added 10 the interest of the case.
The off Sc Of the firm vas open as usual
today for the transaction of business.
NolhiDg further will be done in the mat
ter until Secretary Window is heard
from. The facts in the case were
embodied in a report sent to Washing
ton last night. No arrests have been
made. W. Fl. Secor, counsel for the
AlIards, and Rpulez, the agent, said the
aft air was an outrage on most aspect
able finn; that the result would show
that the AlIards were innocent of any at
tenn pt to defraud the government.
Collector Magone, in an interview this
morning, stated that r )ulez, the preeent
of Allard d Sons, had ad.
mitted the smuggling and had told him
all about il.

While driving throu-h the streets of
Vienna between 10 and II O'Clock at night
one might imagine himself to be in some
little village, as far as silence and solitude
are concerned. Hardly carriage is en-
countered or a foot passenger noticed,
hardly light shines from the windows of
the houses; the great buildings loom up
like the e6ifoes of some dreamlaBa, as ii
untenented save by shadows; even in the
RING the quiet is only broken by the &C
ca5lOnal J1nkle Of tram-bell, for in all
German speaking countries people go
home early in the evening, the longest
opera or theatrical performance Is over
at 20 O'clock, and after that everything
subsidies. How different from Paris, of
which Hcine said that after his death he
meant to haunt the boulevards, because
midnight, the hour when ghosts do walk,
is the time when they are gayest and
most foil Of life. One night, l remem-
Der, as | came away from ''Theodoran at
the Porte st. Martin the clock marked
12:45. Sarah Bernhardt, who was acting
in Vienna while we were there, was
obliged to begin "Theodora" at $50 in
order to get through with it at suitable
Viennese hour. But these early hours
offer this advantage, that one can go out
night after night without becoming ex-
haUsted, and the comfort of ladies is
greatly increased by their being require
tO lay aside their outside wraps and bon
nets. Germany, or Austria, is the land
par excellence Tor theatre gOers as well

the chests in which Venetian brides of
old USED to bestow their wedding oHtfs.
This dover chest has been in the family
nearly century, and in it the eldest
daughter of the family is expected to
hoard the linen which she pre- eares
against the day of her marriage, much
after the fashion of German meidens.
The one condition EFT ached to the posses
sion of the chest is that the girl owning
1t shall, with her own hands, make every
article put into it. The will OF the first
owner provided that the chest should de-
scend only 70 daughters of the house who
would, without assistance, 90 all the sew
ing on their outfit OF household linen.
Thus far the condition has been scrupu-
lousy observed; and thus far, also, each
owner of the chest has, in passing IL on,
Ieftin 1t an elaborate piece of embroidered
table linen.

A War Ship Sent After a Trunk.

When the duke and duchess of Edin-
burgh went recently TO Greece it was dis
covered on arriving at Athens that q
trunk containing certain irresponsible
articles of attire belonging to the duchess
had been left behind at Malta. A tele-
gram ordering the trNnk to be sent by
the next days steamer would have bean
the cheapest and readiest way of obtain
ing it, but the duke of Edinburg actually
dis patched one Of the vessels of his squad
ron all the way to Malta to bring back
the trunk and its contents, thereby saw
ing himself a sovereign for telegram and
carriage By steamer. This trip of her
maiesty's ship must have involved cost
to 5he taxpayer of some hundreds of
pounds. The transaction is altogether
scandalous one. What is the use. should

GOT INTO THE WRONG ROOM.

The Ludicrous Experience of a Swede Who
Could Not Speak English.
Swede who knew nothing of the En-
| glish language went to the government
building to get q registered letter from
the postoffice. Several hundred appli.
cants for positions in the postal service
were crowding into the room where the
ma deal examinations of the civil service
commission were being conducted, and
the Swede somehow fell into line. When
his turn came he was ushered into the
examining room. The doctor was in a
hurry and did not question him. He was
| put on q scale and his weight taken;
placed under an UPRIGHT and his height
| recorded; his outer clothing was rem owed
| and his body subj ected to a severe thum p
ing; he was made to draw long breaths
and given further exercise before the ex
animation was finished. whats your
manner" asked the doctor. The S8ede
presented the notification card sent him
by the registory department.. An inter
prater was summoned. A few minutes
conversation revealed to the Swede the
fact that a mistake had been made. He
thought the postoffice authorities very
strict and supposed the medical exami
nation was the custom of the country.
He was conducted to the proper division
A New Religious Sect.
Some excitement has been caused in
the middle counties of South Carolina by
the advent of new religious sect, whose
apostles have started out on crusade.
Apostle jenkins explains the new creed
as follows: "They believe in three heav-
ems and three helis. Life on earth is
both heaven No. and hell No. 1. Then
there is hell and heaven where people,
or rather their souls, stay between death
and Judgment, and then permanent
heaven and hell. Their views as to orea-
ton, as set forth by Mr.. Jenkins, are
rather novel. He cited the first chapter
of ST. John to prove that Jesus Christ
was present at the creation. He said that
Jesus and God were the only two being 8
who could create something from moth
ing. The devil came from space, which
vas never created nor had it beginning.
The beginning of creation was for the
benefit of Gods offspring. The souls of
men, which were not created by him, had
embryonic existence in God. Apostle
Jenkins is from North Carolina. His
sect is known as "The True Lights" He
says there are about two hundred True
Lights in South Carolina and a few in
North Carolina and Georgia.-New York

ATHLETICS IN THE CANARIES.
WY Their Early Inhabitants Made Their
Conquest Difficult One.

conquest Difficult One.
The early Inhabitants of the Canary
islands, who were subj agated by the
Spaniards in the fifteenth century, were,
like the Greeks, devoted to athletic exer.
cises. They held periodical games, en-
liyened By music. so important we're such
occasions considered that in time of war
truce was proclaimed at intervals in order
that nothing might interfere with their
celebration. Dancing wrestling, racing,
stone-throwing, jumping, aud weight
lifting formed the faYorite tests of
strength and nimbleness.
These entertainments, says Charles
Edwards in THE Canary Islands," were
varied by tournaments between individu-
ale. The combatants were rubbed with
fat and the juices of herbs, and for the
strengthening of their muscles Rugged
the trunks of trees. In due time they
entered the arena ana took their stand
on a small circular platform about q
yard above the level of the ground.
Then taking staff with knob at the
end three smooth flint pebbles, and some
sharper bits of Stone they began their
duel. Their skill ia avoiding the stones
snd bloss aimed at one another was ex-
traordinary, and il was only when one
broke his staff or the spectators cried
| Enough" that the contest ceased.
The inhabitants of Grand Canary were
| trained to self -defense from baby hood.
as sooD as they could toddle they were
pelted with balls of earth that they might
learn how to protect themselves. In boy
hood the stones and wooden darts were
substituted for these bits of clay aud thus
| they acquired the skill which enabled
them during their wars with the Span-
| iards TO catch with their hands the arrows
from the enemies crossbows.
| After the contest a Canarian was to be
seen at Seville, who for a shilling would
let man throw as many stones at hin as
he pleased from distance of eight PAGES
Without moving his left foot the man
avoided every stone.
Another Canar1au used to challenge
any one to hurl an orange st him with
such rapidIty that he could not catch it
| Three men made the experiment, each
with dozen oranges, and the islander
caught every one. No wonder that the
| Spaniards found these islanders more
difficult of conquest than they had
| anticipated.

Queen Victoria's First Hoops.


The following anecdOte is told to illus
trate the readiness with which Partisan
fashions are adopted, even by the most
rigidly patriotic of princesses. At the
epoch of the arrival of Q1uen Victoria in
Paris in 1856, on visit to the emperor
and EN- press, the latter had just brought
hoped skirts into vogue. The queen
forthwith sent off q messenger to pur-
chase one for her, and on her next ap-
proach before her imperial host and
hostess her skirts were expanded into the
new and fashionable amplitude. Bat her
majesty had not compromised the nee
essary eshods OF tying the tapes that
held the hoops in placs and her crinoline
presented an extraordinary aud shapeless
peot. It was the emperor himself who,
with his own imperial hands, set the re-
beiliOus petJicoats to rights and gave to
his royal guest lesson as TO the proper
method of looming the new fashioned ad-
iuuct of feminine costume.

WASHINGTON. D. c., No little dissatis-

ths details of the program for the cele-

ing 80 the program the army and navy
are to CURE prominent in the demon
stration. Nj Gen. Schofeld, the
highest comm anding general of the
service, has been selected to take charge
of the military forceg, and against that
selection no criticism is made, but the
naval officers com plain that their branch
OF the ,rvice, which will make an exhi-
bition o. particular interest because of its
CON parisop of the old and new navy, has
been placed in charge retired army
off ser. They argue that naval officer of
the highest rank should have been chosen
to match the selection of Maj Gen.
Schofeld, and they have begun an agita-
ito to have Admiral Jonetr replace the
retired army officer in command of the
naval demonstration.
