The Smuggling Weakness.

As the ocean steamer approaches her
wharf the passengers appear, one by
one, before the officers of the United
States government to ask and answer
questions concerning the contents Of
their trunks. The questions are simple,
the amoant of goods allowed by law
not altogether niggardly, yet hundreds
and thousands Of people lie with the
greatest facility, conceal costly dutiable
purchases and openly bride the customs
officers
"None of the big people who come
home let those horrid officers go through
their trunks and tumble up their things.
Just give any one Of them $40, and you
can have your trunk sent up to your ho-
tel untouched, and you need not wait
for it either. This frank statement on
the part Of a traveller is an example of
the attitude often taken. But there are
still some people who recognize the old
fashioned principle that law is a law
that to eyade it is criminal, and to "slip
a bill into customs officers hand" is
corruption Of oneself and bribery of the
man. Boston Transcript.

REMOVED A tiATPIN.
Young Man Izndergoes an Operation
Caused by Filtration.

Caused by Filtration.
An unusual lurgical operation was
performed recently on young Horace
White of Ga Myrtle street, northeast, in
removing from his body about three
inches of hatpin, stuck there acciden-
tally by Miss Annie Dawes the evening
before, when the two were playfully
teasing each other. There had been a
great deal Of apprehension over the re
suit of the operation, lest the youthful
amours might really end in the death
of the boy. The broken pin was entirely
concealed. under the left armpit, and
DR.. Louis Kolipinski, who extracted the
steel, had first to reopen and enlarge
the tiny wound which Miss Dawes low
ing weapon made.
The hatpin, which the young lady
had drawn from her hat for the fracas,
was about five inches long, and the
break was a considerable distance under
the skin, so that the physician had to
probe for nearly an hour before he could
locate it. The wire was successfully ex-
traeted at 5 O'Clock without causing
to the qualification of the young lady,
who awaited the result of the operation
with a rapidly beating heart. She has
resolved that when she leases the boys
again on an autumn evening it will be
with some different weapon.
Since the puncture was in the neigh
borhood of the heart and the large aux
Hilary artery, it was thought the remov-
al of the pin might cause internal hem
orrhages. Now that it is out nothing Sc
rious is expected, and as soon as the
wound heals up the young man will
probably be as well as ever
Young White is II years old, and the
son of John G. White, a contractor and
builder. He was speaking to Miss
Dawes, who is Is years old, at the time
of the accident. She drew her hatpin
and Dlayfully attempted to stab him. In
lodging he fell directly against the pin.
In recovering himself tho pin broke
He Immediately went to Mullan's drug
| store, corner of North Capitol and L
streets, where Drs. Kilgore and Mackay
were summoned They realized the
gravity of the situation and had him
removed to his home, where he was
placed under the influence of ether and
fruitless attempts were made to extract
the steel Miss Dawes was greatly wor-
ried when she understood what she had
unwittingly done, but was cleared from
all blame by the statement of the young
man that it was entirely his own fault.

CHANGED HIS SEX.

Corsets.

The Pretty Steerage Belle Soon Tired of
corsets.
When the North German liner Saale
arrived recently from Bremen, she
brought among her passengers steer
age belle known only as Marie to her
fellow voyagers. Marie's cheeks were
as smooth as velvet, and her full, red
lips parted in perpetual smiles over
pearllike teeth. Her blond hair, short
and curly, was worn III a sort OF SOU
brett6 tous1e. She was the leading -spir-
it in a bevy of German maidens.
Carl Paur lives with his family at
500 East Fifth street, where prepara-
lions were recently made to receive Mrs
Paur s sister, hither bound on board the
Saale When the ship arrived on Aug
g. Mrs Paur went to Ellis island, vel
coined her sister and was introduced to
Marie, who was in need of assistance.
Take me to the city," coaxed the
gentle stranger, ''keep me for a night
or two at your house and help rae to
find my friends.
When Mr.. Paur negotiated the dis
charge Of his sister-in-law, he did like
service for Marie.
Arriving at the Paur homestead in
East Fifth street, Marie drew the head
of the house aside, thrust some gold
pieces into his hand and in voice from
which all femininity had vanished said
Kindly buy me good suit of
clothes, coat, vest and trousers. Bring

THE TREASURY.
A Double Loaded Scare by the New York


A Double Loaded Scare by the New York
World.
The gold reserve is running down
again. Commercial bills are still scarce.
There is. a prospect that this weeks ship
ments of gold may equal or exceed those
of last week. The general impression is
strong that another bond issue is prob
able if not inevitable. It may be wrong
impression, but suppose it proves to be
right?
What is the administration going to
do about it?
Is it going to let the treasury be "cor-
nered' again and tsqueezed?' Is it go
ing to wait until the gold reserve is de-
pleted to the point of exhaustion and
then place the treasury once more in the
hands Of a bond syndicate as s'receiv-
ers2" Is it again going to appeal to the
mercy and cupidity Of Wall street bank
ers? Is it again going to sell bonds
worth 120 at 1912 on condition that
the buyers Of the bonds shall exercise a
grandmotherly guardianship over the
treasury for term of months? Or has
the government learned its lessons and
will it take measures for its own pro-
lection?
The treasury no longer has a Wall
street guardian. The men who under
took to protect the reserve in return for
many millions of profit on bonds worth
100 which they got at 1041s will have
no interest after Oct. 1 except to deplete
the reserve as rapidly as possible and
thus compel another deal But the
treasury at any rate ought to have learn
ed something in the school Of expert
ence. 1t ought by this time to be plain
to the authorities at Washington that
the richest nation in the world can take
Care of its own treasury without throw
ing itself helplessly into the protecting
arms Of any syndicate.

The Presidents Brother-in-law Speaks.

The Presidents Brother-in-law Speaks.
N. B. Bacon of Toledo, brother-in-
law of President Cleveland, was inter-
viewed in regard to Mr.. Cleveland's
feelings on the third term question. Mr..
Bacon said:
Il am satisfied that he would much
prefer to devote his time at the expira-
ton of his present term to his law prac-
tice.
In plain words, then, he is not a
candidate?"
"That is my understanding Of the sit
uation exactly, " replied Mr.. Bacon.
When asked whom he thought the
president would favor in case he was
not himself a candidate, Mr. Bacon
said: He is on very friendly terms with
Mr.. Whitney, and their official and per-
sonal relations have been closely allied.
/ may say in the same connection that
his relations with Mr.. Carlisle are also
very close. Whether he has any prefer
ence between the two l cannot say. For
that matter, there may be others whom
he would look upon with equal favor,
yet I do not think he would undertake
to fashion the sentiment of the party to-
ward any man individually. Special

Quite a Duck story.

An elder duck was recently shot on
the Norwegian coast. When picked up
by the lucky hunter, it was found that
the bird carried a ring about its neck,
upon which was engraved the words
"Godthab, Greenland, 1876. Twenty
years is a considerable age for a bird,
but what is more wonderful is the fact
that this duck must have crossed the At
lantic ocean and travelled at least 3 1900
miles from the place where it was first
caught to the spot where it was shot.

a Gigantic Task.

Emperor William of Germany is said
to be absolutely unable to comprehend
the fact that all knowledge is beyond
the grasp Of one human mind. He en-
deavors to keep up with current events
in every part OF the globe, to skim
through the important new books in all
languages, to keep in touch with the
progress Of invention and to refresh
daily his knowledge Of history. He has
a fine memory, but his task is so gigan-
tic that his education is really super

Snhstance of Metals

In consequence Of the discovery of
"argon, . helium" and other like sub
stances it is believed that still greater
discoveries are about to be made. Some
expect that the apparent diversity of
metals is a result merely of different
combinations of very few simple sub
stances or possibly Of only one, 1t is on
this line that researches are likely to be
conducted fer some time to come.
