WASHINGTON, June 9.-At the Secret
Service headquarters of the Treasury De-
partment tonight there is talk concern
ing some smuggling operations being
carried on through connivance of naval
officers at Mare Island. The detectives
refuse to talk, but, as near as can be as
certained, some silk from the Orient has
been smuggled through the Golden Gate
through the connivance of naval officers.
It is believed that the smuggled silk has
reached this city from San Francisco.
The officers frequently mentioned No.
1909 Thirteenth street as the destination
of the smuggled goods, but inquiry was
made at this number late tonight, and
nothing could be learned except that a
cigar merchant named Reed lives there.
There is evidently some mistake about
the address.

the community in which he sought a
home. Our people had to look upon
houses that were mere shells for human
habitations, the gate unhung, the shut
tiers Tapping or falling, green pools in
the yard, babes and young children
rolling about half naked or worse, neg
lected, dirty, unkempt. The Ameri-
can was unwilling to engage in the
lowest kind of day labor with these
ne elements of the population; he was
even more unwilling to bring ons and
daughters into the world to enter into
that competition. Neither the social
companionship nor the industrial COM
petition of the foreigner has, broadly
speaking, been welcome to the native.

OUR COUNTRY: BEFORE ANT

Throughout the North Eastern and
Northern Middle States, into which
the newcomers poured in such num-
bers, the standard of material living,
Of general intelligence, of social de-
cency, had heen singularly high. Life,
ever at its hardest, had and always
had its Injuries; the babe had been
a thing Of beauty, to be d~elicately
nurtured and proudly exhibited; the
growing child had been decentlv
dressed, at least for school and
church: the house had been kept in
order, at whatever cost, the gate

Ihe front yard had been made to
bloom with simple flowers; the village

BANK NOTE PAPER.

Some Points About How it is Made.
The paper upon which bank notes
are printed is called distinctive paper
because used exclusively by this gov
eminent for the printing of bonds and
notes. The mills where it is manu-
featured are at Glenn Falls West
chester county, Pa. An agent of the
Treasury Department receives the
paper direct from the hands Of the
manufacturer, and every precautlon
is taken to keep any of it from being
lost. When this "distinctive paper
is being made scraps Of red silk threads
are mixed with the pulp in a big tank.
The finished material is conducted to a
wire CLOTH without passing through
any screen which might retain the
siken threads. Next an arrangement
above the wire cloth scatters a shower
of blue silk threads which fall upon
the paper as it is being formed. The
side upon which the blue silk is de-
posted is used for the back Of notes,
each thread being so deeply imbedded
as to remain permanently fixed. The
smooth side of the paper, that IN
which the red threads alone are seen
is used for the front of the note. Each
of these sheets are registered as soon
as finished

How Prospective Bloodshed Was For

1t was election day in the town, and
l noticed that almost every white man

of any trouble with the negroes, and
finally asked a man who was carrying
a big revolver under his coat tails what
was apprehended.
Cant allus tell jist how this yere
will turn out, he replied, 1--we dun
bin down on the Greens fur fo' vars,
and they've dun bin down on us jist

1t Wasn't the Toothache He Had, as the
Dentist Discovered.
As a young man was about to enter
the hallway leading to a dentists office
on 9th avenue two men standing there
began to grin and nudge each other.
He noticed their actions and stopped
to say:
Gentlemen, toothache is a dreadful
thing"
Yes" they replied in a chorus, as
their grins ~broadened.
And the only remedy is to have the
tooth pulled"
Yes" with a chuckle.
And it takes sand to go through
the performance"
1T does" they chorussed, as they
chuckled a little louder.
Il wonder if the dentist is in?"
He is, sir"
That's lucky. l I'M a collector and
have a little bill against him. Never
had the toothache in my life"
And as he went bristling up the
stairs the two men looked at each
other in disgust and seemed to have
no further interest in life.-NeW York

SWEETHEARTING BY MOON
LIGHT.
A Few Hints to Our Girls in These
Romantic Summer Evenings.

A Few Hints to Our Girls in These
Romantic Summer Evenings.
The man in the moon is a very in
telligent person, says Ruth AshmOre
in the August Ladies' Home Journal,
He sees a great many things that he
never tells abous; but, i'll this gay
summer time, won't you be a little
careful that when he looks down on
?Ou he will not be able to gossip to the
stars and the daily newspapers about
what you are doing, because it is so
innocent? Won't you just remember
that while the moon looks down on
you sailing at night alone with some
favored admirer, he is thinking to
himself all the time "HOw foolish
that girl is to go out with just that
one man. He cannot talk to her and
manage the boat too; and there is GER
tain to be trouble. Why in the world
did she not have q whole party come
out with her." Now, that is a very
wise thought of the gentleman who
lives up in the moon. Then, when he
sees you strolling through the woods a
mile from home, and only one Of the
most charming fellows in the world
with you; sees you hunting for wild
flowers under his dim light, andnotices
the immense amount of interest you
take in each other, he apparently
shrUgs his shoulders and thinks out
loud. "WelI, well! What a lot of
foolishness there is in girls, anyway.
She will catch cold out in the night
air with nothing around her; she won't
find half as many flowers as she would
if my friend, the sun, was shining
bright, and she will probably trip over
q stone or a fallen branch. Even if
she wanted to come out just to talk to
the young man she is very foolish,
because he would think she was a
great deal more desirable if she in
sisted on staying at home and sitting
on the veranda where all the rest of
the people are. He could talk to her
quietly, and he would think how much
nicer it was for her to be there than to
be out rambling in the woods even
with him, for, if she went with him, it
is just possible she might go with any
other man who asked her" The man
in the moon is very, very wise. He
has looked down upon millions and
billions of girls, and he knows what
he is talking about; and if you take
his advice and mine the little bit of
sweethearting that goes on under the
moonlight will be where all the rest of
the people are.

WELL PLEASED.

Frederick William III, King OfPrus-
STA, and great grandfather of the present
Emperor, was extremely averse to
long speeches, and talked, whenever
it was possible, in infinitives only.
While taking the waters at Teplitz he
heard of a Hungarian magnate who
never made long speeches.
Unjust be decent fellow. Like to
know him" muttered the king.
When a day or two afterward the
the Hungarian met him on his prom
enade the king stepped up to him, and
the following laconic conversation took
place:
"Bathe?"
Take waters
"SoIdier?'
"Magnate."
