person. The last grand jury indicted
him and day or SO later he was tried
and convicted, and yesterday set for
sentence. In the meantime the friends
Of Lindross raised $10O and yesterday
when he was brought up for sentence
the court was asked to fine the young
man instead Of making 1t a jail SEN
tence. AS the grand jury had recon-
mended that the court show the prison.
er some leniency, JudgeMcBride made
the fine 500, the sum raised by the
prisoners friends. The court was as
sured that Lindross would be furnish
ed employment at once and his good
behavior was vouched for by respon-
sible parties. When he stepped out
into the warm sunshine and was told
that the whole world was free to him,
he could hardly restrain himself for
joy. Sheriff Hare gives the young man
a good word for the time he has been
in Jail, stating that he has made an ev-
emplary prisoner.

The Poor German Novel.

While the number of second and
third rate novels yearly increases,
those that deserve to be labeled Al are
as undoubtedly On the wane. The pitt
liable state of the German book market
is partly answerable for this result,
since it has driven some of the ablest
contemporary novelists, such as Sum
dermann, Gerhardt, Hauptmann and
Voss to turn aside from their original
and obvious vocation in order to write
Observation-Disclosures, because these prove
to be more remunerative than first
class novels. Veteran standard authors
like Freytag, Dahn and Spielhagen,
who have beeA before the public for
two or three decenniums, seem to labor
under the delusion that whatever they
now write must necessarily be worth
reading, and that q writer who has
once achieved fame has nothing fur
Their to do in order to keep it up than
to keep on producing with clock-work
regularity a certain number of vol
umes per annum, whether or not these
books are distinguished by any of
those qualities which made the repn-
tation OF their earlier works.-Black-

MEANING OF ANTIQUE.
Tho Word Defined by the United States
Customs Officials.

Ind worn DcuuCu ny III 0AAtN" ~
Customs Officials.
There are many curious features OF
customhouse law. Some Of them are
in the statutes, others have been estao'
lished by the decisions of the courts or
the practice of the treasury depart
ment. The common law of England
has been known for three hundred
years as "the perfection of reason" A
good deal of the present customhouse
law of the United States might be well
called the perfect of eccentricity. An
instance was brought out a few days
ago when the officers seized a valuable
collection of old English silver plate,
which Mr.. J.. K. WILLIS, the London
representative of r. Hoe & Co.. sent
over as a gift to Mr.. Hoe. Mr.. Willis
knew that the collections of antiqui-
ties were on the fee list, and this was a
collection of antiquities he invoiced the
plate accordingly. ,
But the customs officers discovered
that some of the plate was produced
later than 1900. Mr.. Willis did not
know hat anything manufactured IN
1899 is antique; in view of the customs
laws, but that an article just like it
and equally incrusted with the marks
OF age, but made in 1901, is modern.
How this distinction grew up is a good
illustration of how custom-houSe law
is made. Eight years ago MIR. Mat
thias II. Arnot, a wealthy citizen q
Elmira, purchased a lot of paintings ~
cid masters at the sale of the duke OF
Hamilton's great collection. The cus-
tomhouse disputed his entry of the
lot as antiquities, and Mr.. Arnot con-
tested the matter in the courts. The
question was settled by an agreement
between the lawyers that the pictures
which dated further back than 100
should be classed as antiques, and
those Of later date VI modern and du-
table.
Secretary Fairchild, during his head
ship of the treasury department, ac-
cepted the precedent, and incorporated
it into the unwritten law by a decision
establishing 100 rs the line of dernar-
cation between antique and modern,
and in the Mckinley bill 1t WIS enacted
into law.
Another obstacle which many private
citizens have encountered in p%urchas-
ing antiquities under the supposition
that they were safe in the protection
Of the free list is the fact that it is
only collections of antiquities that are
free. Single antiquities have to pay
duty. A Union square firm had an ex-
perience of this kind when they inn
ported the celebrated Mexican sun god
opal to put in their exhibit at the
Worlds fair. The firm bought this in
London, and entered it as an antiquity,
but found that as it was alone a duty
OF several thousand dollars had to be
paid. If any cheap bit Of trash made
before 1900 had been brought in with it
there would have been no duty.-N. Y.

as if by a tacit understanding, the
eagle seldom broke the treaty by kill
ing the domestic animals of the Mex

began to shoot these eagles, merely
from a wanton desire to see them

upon chickens, turkeys, even flying
