EXTENSIVE CUSTOMS FRA

EXTENSIVE CUSTOMS FRAUDS DISCOVERED.
Washington, o.. 80 (SpeuaD.-The special agents Of
the Treasury Department have detected extensive
frauds upon the customs revenue the mOdus operandi
Of which will be familiar to everybody who remembers
the Lawrence frauds which exposed in New-YOrk
d few years ago. Certain persons and firms in san
Francisco have been engaged for time in bringing
invoices Of goods through the port Of NewN Or
10 san Francisco, under the Immediate Trans pOtaOn
act 1t hss been the custom of the importers referred
20. upon the arrival Of Shipment Of goods for them
at san Francisco TO send enc bale package to the
appraisers stores, and have the vnander delivered
their warehouses. OF course the contents of the
bale package sent 10 the appraisers stores every
case cOrresp0Dded with the invoice. 1t was recently
discovered that the contents of the other bales and
PACKAGES did not correspond with those contained n
the dummy package but cOUSl5tCd Of silks and other
goods upon which the rates Of duty much heavier
than upon the goods contained IN the dummies
Supervising special Agent Tnglc to-day said 1t
probable that the frauds extended considerable
period OF time before the discovery The Government
holds about $4,000 worth Of the goods which were
irudulenty imported and the importers Of course are
nov extremely anxious 70 settle with the United states
They had received altogether about 900 packages Of
goods before the fraud detected. We do not vet
Know how many If these packages were fraudulently
imported

GOOD CHEER FOR THE SICK.
Elaborate Dinners for Patients OF Prov
idence md Grace Hosnitals.

Elaborate preparations had been made at
Providence hospital for the Christmas feast.
The good sisters had been busy for week in
decorating the chapel aud the wards, and the
big building from one end to another was full
of cheer. The altar in the chapel was decorated
with flowers, aud a vivid representation of the
Savior lying in manger was constructed to the
right of the altar Mass was served in
the morning at $50 o'clock and again
at o'clock. big turkey dinner was served
to every one of the hundred patients, and one
OF them said that it was "a bigger dinner than
President Harrison himself had" Evergreens
and flowers were taken into every sick room,
and the day will be remembered long time by
every one In tho hospital Some handsome
presents in the way OF furniture and fixtures
were made to the hospital, and the management
saw that all the patients who did not have
friends got present of some sort to cheer them.
Thomas W. Major, the engineer, who has been
in the hospital since his terrible experience in
the railroad accident few weeks ago, in which
he was pinned under the water for thirteen
hours celebrated Christmas by sitting up in
bed for the first time. One of his crushed feet
is still unhealed and causes him considerable
trouble.
The patients and attendants at Grace hospital
were treated to a bounttlul dinner OF i've
courses at / o'clock in the afternoon. aud thirty
eight persons IN all partook OF the repast. The
decorations were very elaborate. Every few
feet the whole length OF the verandahs on
the south and west sides was hung with i'm
mense Chinese lanterns which were illuminated
at dark last night and continued TO burn all
evening. Inside the big ward presented a gay
and happy appearance. A large tree stood at
one end of the ward brilliantly illuminated and
bearing one present or more for each one in the
house The patients were all doing well, and
they greatly enjoyed the Christmas tree and its
good cheer.
