When he had laid aside fair amount he
went to Boston, and in 1884 entered the Latin
school. He was very popular with the boys
and was graduated well up in his class. In
1886 he entered Harvard During his spare
hours he piled the razor and shears as
means of support. During the summers he
served as hall boy in Saratoga hotel. Last
summer he earned considerable money lectur-
ing on the colored problem. By these and
other devices he worked his way through his
undergraduate course and secured fair Ii
brary. In spite of his narrow means he al
ways contrived to dress in becoming style and
good taste.
Morgan is of medium height, weighs about
$50 pounds and wears a mustache He is a
brilliant speaker, and talks in a smooth,
fluent, yet forcible style. He pronounces his
words with clear articulation and never falt-
erS for a word.
Standing erect, he makes striking figure,
his Evolutionary training having taught him
how to hold himself when on his feet. His
oratory is finished to degree. His manners
are polished, his personal appearance prepos-
sesSing.
Morgan has not associated with the mem
bers of his class to any great extent That is,
his association with them has not been of the
intimate character of student life This, it is
claimed, has not been on account of hostility
among the students toward a colored man,
but because he has had little time outside of
his college work that has not been devoted to
money making. He intends to study law
and to enter the race for legal honors in the

One night Mrs. billiard aroused her hus-
band and told him that chicken thieves were
at work outside. She handed him single
barreled shotgun that had been fixed not to

did SO and was shot dead.
Bartholomew fired the fatal shot.
After the funeral of her husband, Mrs.
billiard confessed to the officiating minister,
and at the trial went on the stand against
her former paramour, who was found guilty
and sentenced to death on her testimony.
All of the parties belong to the illiterate
class. Mrs billiard believed that her con-
fession would save her life.
Win she hang?
The district attorney made a promise, in
black and white, during the trial, that if the
woman would convict Bartholomew, all of
his influence would be used with the governor
to save her from the gallows in case of her
conviction in the first degree. The promise
will be redeemed, and may result in COM
mutation to life Imprisonment. The efforts
of the district attorney will be backed by
many people of influence on the sole ground
that a promise made under those circum-
stances is sacred, and the public good de-
mands that it be kept

now the province of his son, Prince Albert
Victor.
In the autumn the prince has usually gone
to Scotland for deer stalking. Early winter
he has spent in the south of France; spring
and early summer-the social season-in Lon
don, and midsummer on the continent. He
is the father Of five children, Princes Albert
Victor and George and the Princesses Louise,
Victoria and Maud. The Princess of Wales
is a sister of the present czarina of Russia.
Should the heir apparent die of the disease
which it is said has come upon him, the event
will cause considerable connection in social
circles in England. Albert Victor will then
be Prince of Wales, and will have to do the
entertaining. This will necessitate his taking
a wife, which thus far he has delayed.

SLICK SMUGGLING
High Toned Thieves Who
Steal from Uncle Sam.
HER CoNTRABAND CORPULENCE.

A Fat Woman Who Grew Lean Under the
Searching Fingers of an Inspectress.
Many Offer Rribes to the Custom House
Omcials-Diamonds in His Trunk.
Uncle Sam is cheated out of a tremendous
amount of money in the course of the year
by people who neglect to pay the lawful duty
On diamonds, wearing apparel and various
expensive knickknacks picked up in Europe
for considerably less than they could be pur-
chased for at home. This class of respectable
smugglers, SO say tns custom house inspec-
tors, is very much larger than most people
suspect. The more respectable the srnuggler
the more delicate the inspectors task, and
accordingly the less risk run By the snug
gler.
In this matter of defraudng Uncle Sam it
Is claimed that women have no conscience
whatever. Occasionally the inspectors find
an innocent man who gets indignant while
his baggage is being overhauled, but rarelya
woman. More than this, an ex-inspector is
authority for the statement that women are
hundred times more ready to offer brides
usually under the guise of compensation for
extra care taken-than men are. He gaveas
an illustration the case of an ultra reSpecta-
BILE appearing middle aged lady who for
several years went to Paris early in the sum-
mer looking quite angular and bony, and re-
turned two or three months later as round
and plump as partridge An elegant turn
out Invariably brought the lady to the pier
when departing, and was there to receive her
on her return. This turnout-Enghsh coach
man, tiger and all-helped to allay the in
spectors' suspicious Her baggage was able
to withstand the closest scrutiny. But the
successful female smuggler becomes reckless
after awhile.
At first this ones plumpness on returning
might with stretch of the Imagination, be
set down to a change of air and diet. But
gradually the difference in her physical de-
velopment before and after taking the air of
Paris became quite too glaringly apparent.
1t was last October that an investigation was
decided on. When the lady came down the
plank of the Bretagne she had to turn about
edgewise to squeeze between the ropes. She
was taken in hand by one of the female in
spectors who conducted her towards a Sc
cluded place. On the way thither the large
lady grew affectionate.

"You took such pains with my dresses last
year," she said, shat 1 have always wanted
to make you little present. 1t is SO dis
agreeable to have ones dresses all unused up. "
AS this particular inspectress had only
| been on the force little over three months
she easily anticipated what was coming and
hurried toward the secluded spot Just re-
ferred to.
$50 | made up my mind" the large lady
continued, that this would be no more than
you deserved-no, not one word, my dear,
not a word. It's no more than you deserve
for the care you took with my dresses last
year"
By this time the inspectreSs had no COM
junction whatever about investigating the
lining of the large lady's hustle She said as
much by handing back the bank note that had
been thus thrust upon her and remarking:
Il have only been here three months"
Then quickly, from an opening in the
large lady's dress skirt-which, being a wo-
man, she could place her hand on without
any hesitation-she drew out two fine French
parasols, three bolts of pink silk, pair
of high heeled boots, several hundred
yards of lace, a dozen pairs of gloves,
enough fine hosiery to start small shop,
and a perfect love of bonnet All this
was done before the gasping. astonished
large woman could say a word.
What the large woman said is not for pub
LEGATION. In three minutes she was that
many sizes smaller, and when the inspectress
was through with her she strikingly resem-
bled the tall. thin woman of her name who
had sailed for Europe two months before.
As is customary in such cases, the lady was
allowed to go In peace, but Uncle Sam got
the benefit of what she was forced to dis
gorge.
The same ex-inspector told a story of his
own experience with a respectable sInuggler
of the other sex who was willing to divide
what he stole from Uncle Sam with inspect
ors Of easy consciences.
The man was big, handsome fellow with
a silk hat and diamond scarf pin. His bag
gage consisted of one small sole leather
trunk. He gave up his keys snilingly and
stood over the inspector good naturedly as
the latter lifted out the top articles of cloth
ing.
The inspector lifted up the gentlenan's
dress suit.
NO" said the gentleman, jovially, you
haven't come to it yet. That's an American |
suit. But keep it up"
The inspector lifted out checked sack |
suit.
Wrong again." said the gentleman, with |
a laugh, but keep right on and you'll come |
TO it"
The inspector threw out lot Of under
clothing, beneath which was a light over
coat Spread out fat on the overcoat was q
fifty dollar greenback.
"Ah," said the gentleman, 80 you've found
it at last Put it in your pocket"
Without answering a word or touching the
greenback, the inspector reached his hand
under the light overcoat and found leather
case He opened the case and saw four Of as
fine diamonds as were ever claimed by Uncle
Sam under similar circumstances
The deyu.s said the gentleman, and this
time it was the inspector that laughed.
