her things is in her stockings, and an
other is in her bosom. Having removed
the outer garments. felt in the Innings
of the gown. the crown of the hat,
along the edges of the gar
ments. and examined tile stockings
and corset. the search is concluded.
The weight of goods woman can carry
about under her clothes is astonishing.
If the burden is very heavy she some
times adjusts it with straps over the
shoulders. Very often the goods found
on one woman are all that one inSpec-
tress can lift. and it is through the
weary air of the smuggler and her pain
full movements that she is suspected.
She leans against things OH the dock
because she cannot sit down and
watches the inSpectresSeS with anxious
eyes that betray her secret. Beneath
one woman's gown was found an entire
suit of clothing for her husband. An
other had a billiard cloth tied
about her waist. and an Italian
woman had yards and yards of red
flannel wrapped abo6t her on a swelter-
ing July day. There is less smuggling
of jewels now, for the duty is small,
and as every woman wears her jewels
concealed about her person, it is diff
cult to determine whether she is Snug
Cling or not. Very frequently ladies
give choice things to the steerage pas
SengerS to Smuggle through for them,
and often in the blacklist of pots will be
found choice bits of china and glass.
One lady borrowed little peasant boys
Jacket the day before they came into
port to mend it for him, sewed it full
of Jewels and bought it from him after
they passed the inspector for sum that
astonished the boys mother by its gen.
er0sity.
Mistakes Are Sometimes Made.
1t is considered a great blunder among
the officials to examine personally any
one who is innocent. Very few mis-
takes of this kind are made, because
the manner in which woman receives
the accusation usually decides beyond
doubt whether she is innocent or guilty.
If she laughs and says eeftainiy,sh
has no objection to being searched, she
is usually innocent. One middle-aged
lady of peculiar figure smiled when the
Official detained her because of her sus-
picious appearance, and said to the In
spectOls: You come with me over here
in the corner and I'll show you right
here whether have any dutiable goods
or not and prove to you that haYe.a
right to everything You find" And
when she put the hands of the inspec-
tress down on the abnormally devel-
oped hips covered with cushions of fat
she Gdded: Il don't blame the man at
all, but L am glad there is woman
here"

gin to cry or storm and say it is an out

THE RIVER.

For centuries oceanward it has flowed on,
Through moorland wild, beneath the hills
great feet
Past orchards rich and lowered meadows
sweet,
Singing its happy lay; the sun has shone
III silver srlendor o'erit, and the moon
Has biazoned silver etchiugs here and
there
Upon its glancing waters; the soft air
Has crisped it, and the winds made sullen
moan
Above it, like weird spirits seeking rest.
So flows my life through scenes of joy and
woe;
Around me now sweet summer flowers
blow,
And now seem the dreary deserts guest;
Yet like the river, ever OH move
To the vast ocean of eternal love.

four inches of fastening across the bust
with no gown underneath. Another
little trick of the women who smuggle
gowns is to haste the seams in the waist
instead of sewing them, or TO basic IN
some seams to make the waist fit in
case they are compelled to try them on .
leaving the edges of the seams ragged
and unfinished. The rnost amusing
thing about it is that they do all this
fixing, basting of laces, and arranging
of concealed things OIL the steamer be-
fore the stewardess, who is very apt to
report it. In the rush of travelling and
the preparation for homecoming there
seems to be no other time.
The most favorable time to arrive in
port with dutiable goods is on Sunday
night, when the inspectors are tired and
in hurry TO get home. and when the
much-feared Capt. Story is most in
ctined to relax his vigilance.

"ALoNE IN LONDON"
Will Run the Week at the Grand
y Opera House.

E "Alone in London" which opens to-
night at the Grand, is an English melo-
drama, now in Its sixth year before the
American public. While it is not
claimed that the theme upon which 1t is
built, that of love, marriage, disappoint-
ment and the trials of wife believing
her husband to be an honorable man,
and learning. when too late, that he is
only scoundrel, is new one, it is be-
lieved by the management that no
plav OF this class has more of interest,
coupled with the melo-dramatlc scenes
and situations, than has ''Alone in Lon
don." The story is embelliShed by spe--
cial settings, and through the several
acts of trial and tribulation into which
the surroundings of the heroine involve
her, vein of comedy has been woven
that serves to tighten the darker shad-
ows and brighten and relieve the trying
scenes and situations. The one great
scene in the play is. probably the rescue
of the long-suffering wife from drown
ing, an attempt having been made on
her life by her husband. The acting
company is said to be capable one,
fully competent to do justice to the au-
thor'S work.

their private affairs as on shipboard.
One of the women inSpectresseS tells
an amusing story of her return Oh a
French steamer, when the ladies eX-
changed condolences with each other as
10 the things they meant to Smuggle in,
sat in their staterooms sewing real
laceS of great cost Oh ordinary wool
gowns, and laughed about the handsome
jet they were bastlng or their red fan
mel petticoatS, thinking a man would
open the trunks and never know the
difference. When the special agent
boarded the ship at quarantine and
greeted the inSpectreSs as a familiar ac-

Where Pointers Come From.

and sometimes Of amateurs is also sent
over from the special agents on the
other side. These agents have letters

the shipping depotS, and by various
secret processes of their own find out
when any unusual amount of goods is
purchased or shipped by one person,
which information they cable over to
the authorities that they may watch the
declarations, and if the goods are not
declared make careful search of the
baggage and the persons of the Snug
glers.
Many people are watched that prove
to be honest and above suspicion.
Many escape that are guilty for want of
sufficient evidence TO warrant special
examination. 1t is estimated that about
three-tOurthS of the women who come
into port have dutiable goods that they
do not declare. American women are

One of the dressmakers who came over
this spring and swore that gowns in her
trunk were all her own, went off in a
fury because an inspector questioned
her little, and said she would put
every one of them on to prove to him
that they were for herself. To her sur
prise he told her she might put them on
there, and though she did manage to
get herself into one of them, the in

IVES DENIES SUCH OPINION.

The EAGLE on Thursday morning. con.
tanned an editorial on the Kansas grain
inspection law in which 1t was stated
that Attorney-GeneralI Ives had given an
opinion that would permit individuals
and companies living in Missouri to
come across the line into Kansas and
inspect and grade Kansas grain. The
following denial was received last even
ing:
TOPEKA, Kan, July 80, 1892.
To the Editor of the Wichita Eagle.
No opinion has ever been given by this
office to the effect that Missouri inspectors
have right to inspect grain in Kansas.
Reports TO the contrary are all false.
JNo. \. IVES,
Attorney General
The above denial is given space with
pleasure, but we fail to understand the
matter when the denial is placed along
side of the affirmative. The EAGLES
authority for what it said was taken
from the Kansas City (Mo.) Journal and
from the Kansas City (Kansas) Gazette,
which information was supplemented by
a letter from a gentlemen at the latter
place of unquestioned veracity. There
must have been an opinion given and
such one as led the Missouri grain men
to conclude that they could legally do
just what the Journal declared.
However, we wait further news and
developments.

faint. Beyond giving the New York Sun
an opportunity to evade Cleveland'S free

recently issued an address which con-
tains the following:
Let us not be troubled more by threats
of "force Bills and "negro supremacy."
Let us only remember now that here in
Virginia we have 'force bill' TO enable
midnight fraud to be be successfully
practiced in the Anderson-M Cormick
election law worse than the threatened
one; and let us always bear in mind that

ant southerner-keep the people divided

A speaker at a Peoples party meeting
in Hanover, Va, said a few days ago:
1.-THE great question is not the bugbear
force bill. We care nothing for the
force BILL" And so good Democratic
newspaper as the Charleston, S. c. News
and Courier refers sneeringly to the
''force bill Mysteries" and says that the
cry is only raised "to blind the public to
the chief issue of the presidential cam
paign."
The same state of case exists in
Georgia and Alabama. Verify, the
memorable remark of the martyr, Lin
coin, about fooling the people seems to
be having practical exemplifcation in
the south at this time But we will
probably know more about it after to-
morrow, at least as to its application to
Alabama. The state election occurs on
Aug. in that state, and the Pops
are expecting great things for their
party.

Simpson stood in the way of the opening

when he knows il is too late TO effect
