New YORK, Aug. 31.--The customs
authorities have unearthed another case
of gigantic frauds in the weighing de-
partment of the surveyors Office. The
frauds consists in the underweighing Of
sugar during the eight months between
Aug. /, 1891, and March /, 1899, when
the free sugar law went into effect.
The amount of duties lost to the gov
eminent by this systematic under
weighing is estimated at $65,0O0 to $75,-
600. The results of the investigation
have involved 50 far eight importers Of
sugar and number of employees in the
weighing department. The matter has
been presented to the attention Of the
United States district attorney.

The Great and Only Gus"

The inimtable and only Gus Williams,
quaint in his humor. legitimate and neat
in his acting methods. and an acknowl-
edged universal favorite, will present on
next Tuesday and Wednesday his latest
success. April Fool q musical eccen-
tricity, in three acts by c. Wallace Wal
ters. Mr. Williams is so well known
throughout the length and breadth of the
land. that it is entirely supcrfuous TO
describe him further than to say that he
is now the leading German dialect come
dian on the American stage. The farce
comedy he is presenting this season is
said to be full of innocent and irresisti-
Bile fun. He has surrounded himself
with company of unusual strength.
Not to see Gus Williams is to miss one
of the most interesting hilarious, anus
ing, and generally conceded treats of the
theatrical season.

Animals and Tobacco smoke.

A great many animals enjoy tobacco
smoke, for beasts are much like men and
differ essentially in their tastes just as
men do. Bnt dogs and cats are not
among the number OF those that relish
tobacco, for either will generally take a
violent fit OF coughing or sneezing when
smoke is blown in their faces, and some
times they seem TO become very sick at
the smell. Many horses, however, appear
to enjoy the odor OF good cigar as much
as men do, and some mules are passion
ately fond OF tobacco. 1t is not safe, how
ever, to experiment with a mules Taste.
A friend of mine lately blewa cloud OF
smoke from his pipe into the nostrils of a
mule, and the insulted beast changed
ends as quick as thought, and would
have Drained him on the spot had ne not
saved himself by falling PROSTATE. The
next time he tries tobacco smoke on q mule
he will tie the beast.-St. Louis Globe

,Jonaha haon the Rail.

"There are on nearly every railroad
locomotives that are known as Jonahs," /"
said Henry K. Archer, who has spent q
years in the service of the Illinois Central,
to st. Louis Globe Democrat reporter.
Locomotive engineers are not, perhaps,
more superstitious than other people, but
have known more than one TO throw up
his position rather than take out an en-
gine that was regarded as unlucky. Years
ago an engine on an Illinois road blew
up, cutting the fireman's head off with a
segment Of boiler iron. The engine was
rebuilt and made as good as new, but no
engineer could De found TO run it more
than one trip. 1t was soon whispered
about that it was haunted; that the
headless fireman had an unpleasant habit
of appearing on the tender with pick and
shovel and insisting on firing up.
"One night an engineer aud his fire.
man deserted the locomotive while out
on O run, aud the conductor attempted
to bring the train in. He was not afraid
of ghostsi Not hel But he side tracked
at the first opportunity and waited until
daylight before completing the run. He
told me that the ghost was no joke; that
every time the furnace door was thrown
open the headless apparition entered the
cab, bearing shadowy scoop OF coal.
For a month the engine laid in the shop.
Then an engineer, who was compelled to
either take it out or lose his position,
mounted it. Before he mad run dozen
miles it went through a culvert, wrecked
the train and killed nine people. 1t was
never rebuilt.

Magnificent Roads in Ancient Peru.

The ancient Pernvians seem TO have
been the greatest of all roadmakers. The
remains still attest the former magnifi-
cence OF that road which led from Quito
Though Cusco into the Chilian domin-
ioEs. Its breadth was twenty feet, and il
was conducted or 1000 miles over path
less sierras buried In snow; along GAL
leries cut for leagues through the living
rock; across rivers spsnned by bridges of
osiers that swung in the air; scalin z
precipices by stairways hewn out of the
native bed; over ravines of hideous dept h
filed up with solid masonry; in shori,
encountering and overcoming all the diff :
culties that beset a wild and mountainous
region, and which might we'll sppal the
most courageous engineer of modern
times. 1t was bnilt of heavy flags OF
freestone, and upon 1t, as on all the other
great routes OF the country, were posts
or small buildings about five miles apa rt,
attached to which were a number of run
ners, whose business it was TO carry for
ward the dispatches of the government.
By means OF these messengers fresh fish
caught one day at Lurin, on the Pacific,
are said TO have been eaten the next day
at Cusco. The distance between these
places is 300 miles, and the road traverses
the widest and most mountainous coun-
try in the world.-Brookiy Eagle.
