SARAH BERNHARDT.
The Arrival of Her Theatrical
Paraphernalia
VIII be Made the Occasion for Deciding
Whether Such Things Are Liable to
Custom House Dues.

Especial to THE HERALD--EXaminer Dispatch.l
New YORK, Jan. 24.-The custom house
officials have decided to d,cide the question
whether theatrical COST .Ines, scenery and
properties are tools of tfsie or not. The
directions under which this aggressive
move is to be made were contained in a let
ter received yesterday from o. l.. Spauld-
ing, assistant to Secretary Window. Spe-
cial Treasury Agent Wilbur has limited his
legal Inability TO the seizure of large
amounts of scenery and kindred threatri-
cal necessaries, which have been passed
duty free through the custom house from
time to time. This time Henry Abbey, or
rather the firm of Abbey, Schoefel g. Grau,
IS to be made an unwilling participant in
that annoying bugbear, a test case, and the
theatrical property to DE levied On that to
be used in Sarah Bernhardts New York
productions.
Agent Wilbur has kept his eye open and
when he heard that large amount of
scenery, properties and costumes were to
be sent over with the divine Sarah. he i'm
mediately telegraphed to Washington for
orders. When the theatrical effects arrive
they will be seized if the duty levied be not
paid. Then Abbey, of course, will appeal
to the hoard of general appraisers, which
sits as an appellate body in this city. Los
ing his case before the appraisers, Mr..
Abbey may carry the question into the
courts until a correct reading of the law
shall be decided by the United States su-
preme court. The scenery and accessories
are valued at a large sum. The duty, if
collected, will be a substantial account
item in Nine. Sarah's American expenses.

gram to THE HERALD. B. X. Nordike,
assessor and collector of Logan county, has
skipped. He was settling with the county
commissioners and could not make both
ends meet He is reported 81, 400 short,
with rebate of S565 on account of double

commissions due from Logan county.
Practically his shortage was but s., 39o
10 Offset this he had $1,000 in the bank to
his credit yesterday. This was presum-
ably county money. He was therefore
really only s19o defaulter, when in an evil
moment he was moved to draw out his
balance in the bank and skip.
Nordike was supposed to be an honest
man at heart. He is known as Honest Ben
Nordike. His old friends are shocked to
know be should round out such an honest
official career so peculiarly when his real
shortage was so trifiing Gambling, wine
and women tell the story very briefly.

pretty and shapely chorus girls, but rested
on one particular beauty who stood near

that his nelghbor was watching him, the
man dropped back into his seat. At the
close of the act he hurried to the stage
door and asked 'Pop'' to give a note to
Miss Minnie Curtis and he would call for
call for the answer.
The next act found the black whiskered
man in his seat. Close observers could see
when the curtain rose that Miss Curtis was
somewhat pale and that glauces of recogni-
ton passed between her and the man in the
front row. At the end of the second act
another call was made on ''Pop." No
written answer was given, but the words

soothing effect on the stranger.
At the end of the play Miss Curtis was
escorted to her hotel by him and the man

the whole story was out. Mr. Thompson,
the stranger had married Miss Curtis four
years ago in Chicago. They lived happily

reling with her mother went on the stage.
Thompson returned from the west to chi
cago three months ago with plenty of
money. and instead of finding his wife met
her mother The latter refused to say any

son arrived here. The couple were glad to
meet again. The lady resigned from the

Comments of Congressman.

WASHINGTON, Jan. "a. -Congressmen are
commenting upon the action of several
southern legislatures in declining to take
steps to participate in the Worlds fair.
pending consideration of the election bill.
Senator Cullom, of Illinois, says he did not
believe the proceedings would have any eff
feet upon Senators favorably disposed to-
ward the bill.
Representative Butterworth, of Ohio.
said the question was a grave one and if
ten or dozen states should decline to par
ticipate in the fair its success might be
jeopardized. He hoped the fair would be
out of politics.
Representative Gambler, of Massa-
chusetts, chairman of the Worlds fair
committee, said he did not think the senti-
ment of the people was fairly represented
in the proposed action.
Representative Taylor, of Illinois, be-
lieves the fair will be a success even if all
the southern states decline to participate.
He does not think the action of the south
ern legislatures will influence any votes
on the election bill
Senator Berry, of Arkansas, said be had
not attempted to influence the Arkansas
legislature in the matter, but fully en-
dorsed it's proceedings. Arkansas pro-
posed to make liberal appropriations for
an exhibit, but if the election bill became
law, the business of the state would be i'm
paired and the flow of immigration and
capital stopped.

Exterminating the Far Seals.

Especial to THE Observation-Disclosures Dispatch.
New YORK, Jan. PA Herald Paris
cable says: 1.-The European edition of the
Herald publishes an interview held at
Cannes with Herman Liebes on the Beh-
ring sea question. He approves Blaine's
course and asserts the seals are being
hunted to death and will be exterminated
unless prompt measures are taken. En-
gland will then suffer also, as 5000 persons
in London live by preparing the skins The
poachers with whom England sides are not
English; the crews of the Canadian sealers
are American seamen. Last year tifty-one
vessels were engaged in poaching. Next
season, if England gives her protection,
$50 ships will be in the business. This
means destruction to the seals'
Liebes, Mills and Tevis pay the govern
ment S1l for every seal they kill or capture
with support for the inhabitants of the
Leopold island with medical attendance,
fuel and schools. The inhabitants are In
dams from Alaska, numbering 400. But
for the sealing they would starve.
Mr.. Liebes says his firm would be willing
to abstain from killing the seals for FIVE or six
years in order to give the animals chance
provided the others were forbidden also
The reason the seals are being extermi-
mated is that those that are killed are
mosly females with young. Out of 30, 600
skins drought to London this season bv
poachers, SO per cent. belonged to females.

THE PORK PRODUCTS
OF the United States Will Soon
be Admitted
INTO THE GERMAN EMPIRE.
This is the Opinion Of Minister Phelps-The
Government Bid for the Center Vote
Social Questions.

BERLIN, Jan. 24.-[Copyright, 1891, by
the New York Associated Press. The re-
peal of the prohibition against American
pork is regarded as near; the weight OF the
speaking in tue recent debate was all on
the side of change. No prominent de-
fender of the prohibitory law in the reich
stag ventured to deny that the repeal would
benefit the masses OF the people. Several
members have congratulated United States
Minister Phelps on the prospects of the
early abolition or moderation of the law.
Phelps said to- day there would not even
have been a majority of twenty-seven
against the motion if the opposition had
waited a little. The government could not
let combination of the Freisyinnige and
Socialist parties dictate its policy on such
an important question. He had long known
the government is ready to modif, its re-
strictions as soon as the precautions taken
by the American authorities seem sum
Gent to insure the health of the German
people. The government was not afraid of
cooked American pork, but only OF the I'M
cooked article. DIR. Windthorsts declara-
ton is that the Center party waited only
for the taking of sufficient precautions in
America to bring the end of prohibition
within sight. 1t is now probable at any
rate that the prohibition against ham and
| bacon will be removed.
| The lower house of the Prussian diet to-
dry commenced the debate upon the gov
ernment bill for the restitution of the stl-
ponds of the Catholic priests conhscated
during the kulturkampf laws. Chancellor
Won Caprivi stated the government hoped
the bill would reconcile the opponents of
last year. He protested against the re
breaches leveled at the government for
having bargained for the support os the
Center party.
Guna, National Liberal, protested the
bill was political move by the govern
ment to gain Center votes. 1t was COM
plete overturn of the former policy to hand
over 100000 marks for distribution
among the clericals. The ministry do not
/ fear defeat of the measure.
The bulky report of the committee hav-
| ing in charge the labor bill, has been dis
trlouted among the members of the reich
stag. 1t provides for the enforcement OF
Sunday rest, rejects fixed working hours
! in all trades, increases the protection tc
women and children who labor, and pro-
hibits tue retention By employers of more
than one weeks wages, in the event OF 6
breach of contract by workmen. The gen
/ eral feeling is in favor of the report
! Interest in the Koch treatment is abat-
! ing.
| 1t is reported that Major Mckinley viii
visit Germany the coming summer, anC
will call on Prince Bismarck.
| A general thaw has set in in western ane
northern Germany. The melting snow anC
heavy rains are causing the rivers to rise
rapidly. Reports from Cuxhaven state the
Elbe is entirely free from ice.
