Customs officials Who Are Too Lazy 70
Examine Travellers Trunks.
One Of the most humorous phases of
passing through the custom house is
connected with the fact that its officials
often seem to reserve their gravest dis
pleasure for the very honest people. A
writer in the Outlook says that she
had bought a dress pattern of loden. a
sort of wooden goods made only in the
Tyrol, and packed it in the top of her
trunk for the inspection of the italian
officials. One after another the trunks
were unlocked and closed again until
nothing was left but an uDpretending
little straw one which had been over

''You have nothing in it-nothing,
signora?" asked the officer
Yes, / have" was my unexpected
reply. 1T is just here on top"
opened the trunk and displayed nv
uncut goods. The train whistled. of
ficials grunted, people jostled past us
and glared at me l knew ne wanted
TO say: why do you bother me by de-
claring it?"
He wrenched the loden out of the
trunk and started toward the inner of
fee, bidding me follow. There | was
greeted by another official in these
words, spoken with excitement and
much gesticulation:
How is this? Just now at the last
moment and the train ready to go.
How is this?"
One man was weighing the goods, an
other posing pen in his hand and half
a dozen looking on.
Why is this?" repeated the chief of
fcer. Why do you declare this at the
very last moment?"
Perhaps it would have been better
If l had not declared it al all, said,
in my suavest tones.
But to come at the last moment"
surely it is not for my pleasure,
Mr.. Officer, that you ransacked nv
trunks, ! reminded him.
Then he looked at me with the air Of
ohildljke helplesSness so characteristic
OF Italians.
But there IS no time now to look
over your other baggage and see what
else YOU nave.

Il put this on top and declared it"
said. There IS nothing else. I assure
you. But be tranquil: next time l

thing and declare nothing. l promise

A culver OF smile crossed his lips,
but he growleJi:
But the train is waiting"
Yes, l replied. and it must still
wait until You are pleased to return
my goods and allow me TO relocl nv

The end Of II all was that I was

says the st. Louis Post-Dispatch. The
court instructed the jury and court of
fcials to return after supper that
night, as it was intended to hold a
night session. At seven o'clock all the
officers, numerous witnesses and the
jury, with one exception, were prompt
ly on hand. OF course. nothing could
be done without the absent juryman.
The minutes ran into hours and still
the prodigal didn't return. At a late
hour court adjourned without having
accomplished anything. Next morning
sharp at nine o'clock the twelve jury
men were in the box. His honor
scanned the crowd and asked for the
truant. He was pointed out and the
court ordered him to stand up.

explaining, ''but you see live quite a

Ge-nr,.r T,rr1-cE-lrEsr

How IT Was Afte1-vard Jsedsto Prstect .
German Teu-cE-FTar.
The history of the Kearsarge has
been so many times told. SAYS the New
York Herald, that it seems ike tax
ing owls to Athens" TO attempt to
say anything about her. There is,
however, an item of history connected
with this famous vessel which. so far
as I am aware. has never appeared il
print.
A number of years ago while stop
ping in little mountain town in Ger
many became acquainted with Chief
Engineer A. Ge5hardsbsiuer, of the i'm
perial German navy. He recalled to
me that when the Re arsarge fought
the Alabama off Cherbourg anchor
chains had been placed on both sides
of the Kearsarge in order 20 better
protect the boiler and,engines from the
enemy's fire.
a long time after the battle, when
the Kearsarge was lying off the Azores
islands, the anchor chains which had
done such good service were delivered
over to the care of the United States
consul at FayaL They remained in
the consular store house until July,
1870.
At this time, just at the outbreak of
the Franco-Gernlnn war, the German
wooden frigate Arcona arrived at Fa-
yal The Arcona was one of the old
type Of wooden var vessels. Mr.. Geb-
hardsbauer, who was chief engineer of
the Arcona, was ordered by her COM
mander to rig up something to afford
protection for her engine in case the
Arcona should fall in with French
ship, it being the intention to proceed
to Germany at once.
In a search for material in the store
house of Mr.. Dahney. the United States
consul, he found the old anchor chains
OF the Ke2rsarwe and Immediately Sc
cured them. They were placed on the
Arcona exactly as they had been on
the Kearsarge, and in a short time she
was ready and sailed for the Father
land.
The Arcona met with neither adven-
ture nor trouble of any kind on her
hOmeward voyage, but she remained in
service, and the chains were kept on
ward being turned over to the navy
yard at Kiel as old iron. They were
still there IN 1883. and several indents
made by the shot from the Alabama
could still be seen in them.
The log book of the Kearsarge does
not show that the chains were disposed
of as have stated. No mention what
ever is made of the disposition made
of them. Further, tie records of the
state department contain nothing on
the subject
The facts remain, nevertheless. and /
now that the old ship has gone it !
would seem highly proper that every |
thing in the way of relics of her
should be in the possession Of this gov

LADY BAKER.
Her Peculiar and Rather Romantic Mar.
riage to the African Explorer.

rage TO the African Explorer.
In all the obituary notices that have
appeared of the African explorer and
traveller, Sir Samuel Baker, there is not
| one of them, says the New York Re
corder, that draws attention to the
very peculiar, and to a certain extent
romantic circumstances OF his second
marriage, certain matters in connec-
ton with which earned for him the
III viii and disfavor Of his sovereign.
at the time when Sir Samuel started
out on his eventful journey up the
River Nile which was TO win for him
both his fame and his title he had no
idea that his undertaking would turn
out SO great d success, and, being IN
willing TO restrict himself TO the So
ciety of the dusky beauties of the Sou
dan, he persuaded one of the German
girls who formed the band of musi-
clans that performed nightly IN an Es-
bekiah cafe chantant at Cairo to ac-
company him on his trip. The girl
happened, unlike the majority of her
companions, TO be woman of singu-
larry strong character. and played
notable and prominent part in the ex-
petition and in the exploration, con-
tributing greatly TO the success thereof.
On Bakers return northwest the
fame of his doings and those of his
fair companion preceded him, and
when he reached Cairo he found that
ali England was ringing with the
splendid conduct of the lady, whom
the newspapers and the public desig-
mated as his wife. 1t was TOO late for
Baker to explain that the lady was
not entitled to bear his name, so he
made the best of the matter and at the
same time paid his deep debt of graft
tude toward her by marrying her very
quietly at Cairo. Areference to the rec
ords there will show that the wedding
took place not before his departure for
the Soudan. but on his return.
On reaching England he was imme-
diately summoned to Windsor castle.
with his wife, and after he had related
TO her -snajesty some OF the principal
events of his journey she commanded
him to kneel, and, tapping him on the
shoulder with a sword exclaimed:
"Arise, Sir Samuel The queen was
also very gracious to his wife, who had
row become Lady Baker, and it was
only several months later that she dis
covered the true facts of the case.
From that time forth Sir Samuel was
not honored with any more invitations
to Windsor, and Lady Baker was not
only never permitted to appear at
court, but was even subjected 10 a mild
kind Of ostracism by society. This she
scarcely deserved, for since her mar
rage she proved herself to be a most
estimablc and honorable woman, in my
opinion, as in that OF many others, inf
nitely superior in every way to her gar
rulous and somewhat mendacious h1Is-
