ACROSS THE BORDER.
How Cinnamon Are SmugS1ed Over
From Canada.
From the New York Times.

From the New York Times.
There is mysterious Chinaman, half
Americanized, so far as dress is concerned.
travelling almost all the time between this
city and Rouse's Point, the customs town
on the Canadian border near the head OF
Lake Champlain. He is q thorn in the
flesh of the customs officials, because they
are morally sure that he is all the time
smuggling his countrymen across the bor-
der, but they are unable to catch him at it.
There Is a duty of $50 head on every
Chinaman that crosses the Canadian bor-
der into the states. This Chinaman pre-
tends to be a dealer In oriental knick-
knacks. He carries samples with him. lie
gets off the train just the other side Ct
Rouse's Point, and is not seen again for
some days.
Almost invariably after his visits farm
ers are caught trying to get wagon load
of Cinnamon over the line. They succeed
almost as often as they are caught.
Sometimes the Chinese get bold and try
to sneak over the line on the train. Last
week one Of the customs officials happened
by merest chance to go on the opposite side
Of the train from the station platform,
where all was hustle and confusion in tho
usual examination of baggage He found
der the wheels. 1t was diftcult to rec
them crouching there in the dark. They
were waiting for the train to start, when.
the chances are, they could have crossed
detection They all had tickets from Nom
treal to Albany, supposed to have been fur;
nished them by the alleged drummer, but
they pretended not to understand when the
agents tried to question them on that par
tfcular point. A conductor on the Canadian
Pacific railway saws that there are plenty
of little leaks of this kind along the Cana
dian frontier.

ASK FOR LICENSE.
St. Asnph Track to Apply to National

st. Asnph Track to Apply to National
Jockey Club.
The National Jockey Club, the successor
to the board Of control, will hold an i'm
portant meeting In New York tomorrow and
Secretary H. D. Mcintyre and Treasurer
]. N. Kirk Of the Virginia Jockey Club
have left here to attend the meeting for
the purpose Of obtaining a license for the
coming meeting at the st. Asaph track.
Notwithstanding the fact that the st.
Asaph people reduced their purses below
the limit set by the national association at
the recent fall meeting, no doubt is felt
of license being granted them, and the
meeting will be commenced as early next
month as the weather will permit. It is
understood that no formal agreement as to
a division Of dates has been reached by the
st. Asaph people and those at Alexander
Island, and not a little doubt is felt Of such
an understanding being made. But should
the Court of Appeals reverse Judge Coles
decision and hold that bookmaking is not
prohibited in the District outside Of the
cities of Washington and Georgetown and
beyond one mile thereof, it is understood
that the Benning people and those at st.
Asaph would agree to such division OF
dates as would make racing at both tracks
profitable.

An Insurance Suit.

A suit for s1,5O0 damages was filed today
by the Peoples Fire Insurance Company
against James F. Glenn. Mr.. Glenn, 1t Is
alleged, was insured in the company to
the amount of $500. A fire occurred at
his house, and the company appointed
Frederick Frickey, Jr., to appraise the
damages He fixed it at $s61.24, which
amount the defendant refused to accept.
The policy provided in such a case for the
appointment by each party of a competent
person to settle the differences. The COM
pany appointed Mr.. Frickey. and. when he
was objected to, appointed Chas. A. Stock
EFT. The defendant 1t is .charged, refused
to appoint any one to represent him, and
subsequently sued the company for the
amount of the policy. That suit is still
pending, and although 1t subsequently ten
dered the defendant $1,000, he refused to
accept that tender Of the company. Charg-
ing that the defendant has refused to per-
fern his part Of the contract, and has, by
filing suit against 1t, injured its reputa-
ton ard standing, the company claims the
damages above mentioned.

where is his spirit of intense loyalty to
his college, bis class and to his society.
Princeton, he continued, has had several
different regulations. It was supposed to
be place where ministers were made. 1t
had been called the home Of athletics, but
It's true sphere now was that Of univer-
sity. He would define Princeton as true
school of citizenship. The trouble with
foot ball, he said, was that we had not
yet found out how to translate true gentle
manliness into the game. He thought that
Princeton was all right in this line, but
was obliged to say that some of the teams
with which the team had played were
lacking in this respect.
Other Speakers.
Mr. Robert Bridges, 10, spoke to the
toast of Princeton in the editorial chair;
Judge Jere Wilson was called upon to
speak of the influence of the minor col
leges and schools, and DR.. Kerr, who was

Nerves and Brain First Give Way Under

on the alert and quick to avoid danger, well as
to see the lucky chances. 1t is impossible to 90
slowly, even If one has pressing need for hurry.
The rush is contagious. One finds himself drawn
along by the rapidly moving crowds and is soon
hurryng with the rest. 1t is undoubtedly true that
two-thirds Of all the men and women one sees
tearing through the streets are in no such actual
haste. They are merely victims of this fearful
habit Of hurry.
But whether the fearful rush Is essential or not,
the result Is the same. Nerves and brains are
exhausted, men and grow prematurely
aged, times of depression follow the high strung
condition. The entire nervous system must be rap
idly and fully nourished to prevent utter prostration
and collapse. 1t is estimated by physicians that
