WASHINGTON CRY, Oct 4.-Secretarv
OF the Treasury Window, Assistant Sec
retaries Spaulding and Nettleton and
General Appraiser Tichenor spent the
day over questions that have arisen in
regard to the execution of The new tariff
law, which takes effect Monday morning.
Several importers DESTROYS of receiving
the full benefit of the existing tariff
rates have applied to the treasury de-
partment for permission to enter their
goods at the custom-horse up to mid
night Sunday. Assistant Secretary
Spaulding informed them that this
Is matter entirely within the discretion
of the collectors of customs at the various
ports, and that the department is not
disposed to interfere in the matter.
General Spaulding said to-day that he
did not anticipate any trouble with re-
gard to the execution of the new law on
the Pacific coast by reason of the failure
OF the customs officers to receive official
copies Of the law by the date it goes into
operation, as entries made on and after
Monday under the present law can be
readily hquidated under the new rates
with very little extra labor.

Sir Over The Tariff.

NEW YORK, Oct. 4.-The most intense
excitement prevailed in and about the
custom-house. all day. Whole troops of
importers and brokers kept coming and
going. AS 5 o'clock approached the
numbers increased until the retunda
was filled with solid mass Of humanity,
which jostled punched, and yelled. All
wished to get their entries in under the
old law, and stood ready to make entries
the moment the vessels were sighted at
Fire island. By a decision Of yesterday
the custom house was to have closed at
3 o'clock this afternoon.
The mass of importers and brokers in
the custom-hous was SO great at 3
o'clock that Collector Erhardt announced
the time extended until o'clock. Each
moment after o'clock the excitement
became greater. Those in the rotundd
appeared to be going crazy. They
shouted, yelled and made futile efforts
to move about The clerks in the various
divisions were swamped with business.
Not for years has such a scene been en-
acted IN the custom house.
The collector was in a quandary. His
Office was jammed full of importers, who
waved rolls in their hands and shouted
to him not to close. The pressure on
the collector became so great that final
ly he telegraphed Secretary Window for
advice. The secretary soon replied for
the collector to use his discretion in the
matter. Accordingly the collector de
cided to keep the custom-house open
until - tonight.
At $50 p. N. the City of Chicago
was entered, and great part of the
waiting crowd was relieved. At 6:O3 P.
m. the steamer Regulus, with cargo OF
laces, silks and velvets, entered. There
we're still due the Etruia, Thingoalla
and Van Dam. News of them was
anxiously awaited. At 1920 p. m. 1t be-
came known that the Etrula had been
SIGHTED off the outer bar at 9:34 p. M
At one minute of II the captain OF the
Ftruria had not arrived. Ten seconds
later, when half the lights were out, a
carriage came up on rush to the door,
and great shout went up. From 1t
jumped Captain Hams, who was I'M
mediately behind the counter ana
entered his vessel just before the clock
struck midnight. Three cheers and a
tiger were given for him. The captain
had come up in special tug and was
driven at breakneck pace from the dock
to the custom house.
The receipts at the custcm-house to-
day were 81, 154,5o3, the second largest

A uA.icERous PET.
The First Taste of Blood Dispelled
Tame Lions Nature.

The First Taste of Blood DispeIIed
Tame Lions Nature.
lion hunter named Conrad started
from Bremen some time ago for Africa
to procure animals for menagerie
While in the depths of the forest of the
dark continent he enjoyed the exciting
but highly-dangerous sport OF hunting
the king of beasts. Upon his return to
Bremen he brought with him a snFall
lion cuba pet-which he had captured
when but a few days old.
AT first it was sickly and looked as
though it would not live long, but by
careful nursing it outgrew its infantile
weakness and began to build up strong
constitution. The name of the cub was
Belle, and she slept beside her masters
bed at night. In daytime she followed
him about, being as playful IS kitten.
Conrad one night lay down 70. a nap on
lounge, and was soon asleep. He was
awakened by sharp pain in his left
hand lie attempted To- move it, when
he heard vicious growl.
On investigation Conrad found that
Belle had his hand brtwccn her teeth,
had bitten the member through, and
was eagerly tapping the blood that
flowed from the wound. The cubs
eyes were ablaze with fierce light,
and it then dawned on him that Belle
was no longer a pet-she had been trans
formed from a domestic animal into a
dangerous brute.
Recognizing his desperate situation,
Conrad moved softly, SO as not to dis
turb the animal, and, drawing a re-
volver, shot her through the brain.
With a blood-curdling scream she
jumped into the air and fell dead on the
floor. 1t appears that while Conrad
was sleeping the cub began to lick his
hand, and the brute's sharp, filc-like
tongue had gradually torn the flesh I'M
til blood came. I he first taste of human
blood had evidently dispelled the nature
of the pet, and Belle had become a
vicious brute, thirsting for more.-Chi.

Bridal Couples Who Were M8EFied in
Very Strange Places.
Early last month the Primitive Meth-
odist Chapel at Leighton Buzzard, Bed
fordshire, BEngland, was burnt down,
the fire breaking out one night after a
harvest festival, and only the front
and two side walls were left standing.
Before the conflagration occurred q
marriage had been arranged to take
place at the chapel between young
man and young woman resident in
the town.
In spite Of the disastrous eyent that
had happened, the wedding party as
sembled on the spot at the appointed
hour, and, space inside the doorway
having been cleared, the ceremony was
celebrated amid the ruins The regis
trar-general had been communicated
with in the interval, and he replied
that he SHOULD raise no objection to a
marriage solemaized on licensed prem
ises which were still inciosed by houn-
Diary walls or parts of such walls.

wanted to wait until tomorrow, but
what's the matter with our having it
done by moonlight?"
Permission given, the moonlight party
thronged about the happy pair. Then
all boarded the car, and the prospective
bridegroom shouted:
NOW, let her go!''
While the car was going at the rate of
mile in thirty seconds, and was max
ing its circuitous dash along the edge of
the precipice, the moon looked down
and smiled on the fastest marriage on
record. One gentleman was maid of

THE PARooNING POWER.
Why 1t Should Never BE Exercised Will

Why 1t Should Never BE Exercised With
out Careful DeliberatIOn.
A man in the Massachusetts State
prison, after serving fifteen years of
thirty years sentence, was recently par
doned out by the Governor.
If all reports were true, he was an ex-
emplary prisoner, gentlemanly, indus
trious, quiet and well-behaved. His
ligent, and evinoed such high concep-
tions of morality and manhood, that
they went away with the idea firmly i'm
planted that the man was suffering I'M
justly, and that the State prison was no
place for such good and pure man.
Philanthropic women were moved to
compassion by the spectacle of this
noble man suffering felon's doom, and
at once began to circulate petition beg
ging the Governor to pardon him. Infiu-
entail clergymen exerted themselves in
his behalf, eulogizing his virtues and
expressing their firm belief in his full
reforpation. At length the Governor
was prevailed upon to pardon him..
This embodiment of all the virtues
Yves once again turned loose into So
his companionship.
In two months after his pardon, he
decoyed his own brother to a distant
town in New Hampshire, sent bullet
through his heart, cut off his head and
arms, and buried his body in the woods.
This is the kind of saint the pardoned
prisoner Isaac Sawtelle turned out to be.
His case illustrates the ease with
which shrewd prisoners can work upon
the feelings of impassionate women
and philanthropic but hardly level
headed men. 1t is easy for a criminal
to be good when there is no opportunity
for him to be vicious, and when a sim
ulated virtue may obtain him a pardon.
Thousands of signatures could be oh
tanned on a petition for the pardon of
the most hardened criminal, if the petit
ton were presented by an experienced
and persuasive solicitor.
For these reasons the pardoning pow
er should never be exercised until after
the most careful deliberation and inves-
tigation. Many a criminal in the last
stages of consumption has developed an
amazing vitality, and lived to good old
age after being pardoned out of prison.
Criminals are adopts in deception. For
this reason the most deliberate care
should be exercised in granting pardons.
