DIAMOND SMUGGLING.

sxhe Ease with Which Precious Stones 0x
Large Value May Be Concealed.
One of the simplest devices for SNUG
Cling diamonds is that of the hollow
heeled shoe. It is asserted that boots
and shoes constructed SO as to leave a
small vacant space in the heels are easily
obtained in Europe, and they are espe-
cially manufactured for the purpose of
supplying smugglers with means for
escaping detection.
The porous plaster has often served as
means of Secreting diamonds. When
il Is understood that SO, 900 worth of
diamonds or more can easily be inclosed
in a paper parcel about as wide as this
column, q inches high and about a
quarter of AN inch thick, it is easy to
comprehend that such a package can be
kept securely in place by means of an
innocent but highly serviceable porous
plaster.
One of the most ingenious methods
ever employed was the use of cake of
soap, wherein a number of diamonds
had been i'm bedded. 1t is highly proba-
BILE that this plan would have proved
successful had it not been that the off,
GERS Of the government had received in
formation tn at the suspected person had
diamonds with him and searched his eff
fects so thoroughly that they examined
even the gem studded block of soap.
The wife Of this smuggler helped her
spouse, and her plan was not less ingen-
ious than that of her husband. Her hat
was ornamented with punches of grapes,
which under ordinary circumstances
would only have awakened the envy Of
other wearers of bonnets. Within the
grapes were diamonds and fancy stones
of great valu 3.
Another snpuggler was especially pro-
vided by Providence with smuggling
device in the shape of a heavy covering
of thick, buslty hair, which he arranged
so that it stpod up from his forehead
like an impeHetrable bush. Within this
mass of heavy hair he deposited good
ly stock of diamonds and succeeded for
a time in escaping the vigilance of the
custom house officials.
AS these schemes have become known
to the custom house authorities the in
genuty of snlugglers has been more Sc
verely taxed. A recent discovery dis
closed the following elaborate plan,
which succeeded great many times be-
fore it was dis covered:

fore leaving the wharf reserved return

the number Of the berth were at once
cabled to his accomplice in America.
Having purchased his diamonds, in due
time he retur1led to this country in ac-
cordance with the instructions previous
ly cabled No amount of examination
resulted in finding any diamonds upon
his person. Meanwhile, however, his
partner had secured the same berth.
When the day for sailing came, part
ner No. Q, accompanied by his family,
entered the cabin and extracted from a
secure hiding place several parcels of
diamonds left there by his accomplish
These he handed to his fearful family,
who, after bidding him goodby left the
steamer unsupported and brought the
diamonds into the market. It took long
time to discover this scheme. Jewel

Don't Flirt.

The man or woman who will indulge
in the practice Of flirting" with an
outside party is not worth going out
with or being taken out 1t is species
of bad form that nothing can excuse,
and though there are many who think
it cute to make eyes and return signs
made by strangers, feeling that such at
tention is bit of personal homage, the
outside world judges differently, and
one exhibition of that sort should be
enough to wean the respect Of either
man or woman, no matter how devoted
they might heretofore have been.

CHARGED WITH PERJURY.
Witness Declares He Is an InGidcI to
Avoid Testifying.

MEMPHIS, Nov. 19-The prosecution
of Ned Smith and w S. Richardson,
charged with the lynching of six negroes
near Millington, Tenn, in this county, last
when Butch McCarVer went on the stand
and stated that he is an infidel and was
therefore incompetent under the laws of
Tennessee to give testimony before a jury
in Il capital case.
Butch McCarver is the man upon whom
the state mostly relied for a conviction. as
he was invited previous TO the occurrence
to take a hand in it, The prosecution
openly charged that McCarver perjured
himself when he said he did not believe in
a God and that he regarded human beings
as hogs or cows. When he was first taken
before the grand jury about the lynching
he denied knowing anything. and it was
only when he was confronted by indis-
putable proof that he would confess. Then
he went on and told everything he knew
which was considered by the attorney
general sufficient to hang the two men on
trial. as we'll as three or four others. I'm
mediately after McCarver's sensational
statement TO the court today he was ar
rested on a bench warrant charged with
perjury. 1t is also given out by Attorney
General Patterson that he will Immediate
" proceed against a. J. McCarver, the
sheriff of this county and father of Butch,
to remove him from office.

MIR. DEPEw WILL NOT PAY FARE.
Constitutional Prohibition Against
Giving Passes Won't Affect Him.

The somewhat startling proposition was
made by a number OF politicians at the
Fifth-ave. hotel yesterday that Chauncey
NJ. Depew president of the New York
Central railroad, would be unable after
Jan. l. 1895, to ride on pass over the
Central for the reason that he was a
state officer, being a member Of the state
board Of regents. The idea of a railroad
president being compelled TO buy a ticket
over his own road was so novel that a
Tribune reporter called on Mr. Depew to
ask him about It.
well, now, that's an original idea.
That's positively refreshing after having
been surfeited with election returns for
week
You are a state officer are you not
Mr.. Depew," he was asked
Yes. a member of the board Of re-
gents.

will the Central save by the doing away
OF pass-givlng to legislatOrs?'
That's a hard question to answer OFF,
hand, but I should say that on an aver
age every legislator got ten passes from
US during the session, besides his personal
pass"
Has not the confidence of the railroad
companies been abused right along in this
pass-giving?"
NO doubt. I know Of many cases
where assemblymen have begged passes
for their friends. and the ink would hard
" be dry on them before these alleged
friends would sell them to ticket scalpers
at reduced rates. Last winter we caught
a wealthy man up the state selling a
pass which the assemblyman from his
county had procured for him."
According to Mr.. Depew's estimate,
which allows ten passes TO each member
Of the legislature besides his own, the
Central will be the gamer under the new
law to the extent of over $4,000.
The consensus OF opinion among pOliti-
clans to whom the reporter spoke yester-
day was that legislators got on an aver
age a good many more than ten passes
during a session.. Y. Tribune.
