A SAILORS INGENUITY.
nc Was Caught Smuggling Some Fine
Old Rum.

From tie New York World.
you would be surprised at the amount
Of smuggling that is done by the crews Of
sailing vessels" said one of the customs
inspectors over the Brooklyn docks. Many
rich cargces come in here from India.
South America and the West Indies, and
the temptation to smuggle is too strong for
the average sailor to resist. There is some
thing Fascinating about smuggling, which
is the only way l can account for the fact
that many an otherwise honest man doesn't
scruple 10 defraud the government when
ever he gets the chance. Among sailors
this feeling is almost universal Indeed,
they seem to think that their calling gives
them the privilege of bringing in few
things on every trip. and they are apt TO
n AXE it very uncCmfortable for the officer
VINO attempts to enforce the law. The ar
ticles they smuggle consist mostly Of
liquors, cigars, fine silks ard such dellca-
cies as pre- served ginger, curacao, etc.
But let nc tell you how ! discovered one
of the most Ingenious schemes for snug
Cling that was ever devised. | was in tEc
habit of visiting little cld-fashioned sa-
loon, and one day the proprietor asked me
Il l would sample some of his rum. II wGs
lire old Demarara. l began TO wonder
where he got 1T. for he didn't keep it in
stock all the time. Then l noticed that he
got in fresh supply every time certain
ship arrived.
1 lnoGShI L saw good clance Tor n
seizure, and kept close watch on the sa-
Icon the next time the vessel came in.
hung around the place all night, bat not
a sign of smuggling could 1 see. There was
no doubt, though, that it had taken place,
for the next day the saloonkeeper was
treating all hands to rum. The only sus-
picioUS thing i saw was that one of the
sailors made frequent trips from the ship
to the saloon. | was morally certain that
he was doing the smuggling, but how ne
did 1t was a mystery, fer l never saw him
carrying anything.
''One day when he was T, turning TO the
ship, drew him into conversation. He had
been samp.ing some OF his own rum and
began skylarking. AT last he made kick
at me, and 1 playfully hit him on the leg
with my walking cane. There was ! sharp
metallic sound IS the blow fell. The mans
face whitened ard he sobered up in mo-
ment. It was all plain enough TO me then,
and l blew that the wide trousers the man
wore meant more than a mere popularity
of dress.
There was no legal evidence against the
man. as no rum was found in the ship, but
l made him show me the con trivance. 1t
was practically pair of hollow tin trousers
of the most Ingenious design, 10y which he
could carry gallons of liquor with little fear
of detection. He never attempted to work
the scheme again, and some time afterward
he told me that he had sold the contriyance
for good sum to q smugeler who piled his
calling on the Canadian border line"

NOT WORRYING.

From the Detroit Free Press
A young man about twenty -ase years

baby on his knee and his alarm and help

"Of course

TO HELP BILL OUT.
Some Must Blur and Some Must Be
BEufcd.

From the Detroit Free Press.
One of the most innocent-loolSing old
men I ever saw came down the other day
from his farm in Pennsylvania to deal
with green goods men, and of course, he
got left. Fortunately for him he couldn't
raise but $50, and therefore he lost only
that amount / met him at the depot as
officer had him in tow TO see that he
got away safely, and when he had told the
story Of how he had been done for asked:
You didn't expect to get $500 IN good
money for $50. did ycu?'
mo, 1 can't say did," he replied.
But you thought it would be money
good enough to pass?"
Yes. They sent me two 81 bills, and
they looked all right and passed all
right
But you would be passing counterfeit
money on your neighbors and causing them
a loss
mo, wasn't goin' TO pass any of it of
on the nayburs. 1 wouldn't do SIGH thing
as that. l might hev got rid OF some of
it to chicken buyers and tin peddlers, but
wanted most of it fur my son Bill. Bill
is into politics and poker till you can't
rest, but he haint had a fair show. That's
what l was eoin' to gin him.
Just how DO you mean?" I asked.
'Well, when Bill goes about sayin' as
how he'll bet $50 that so and so viii be
nominated Tor President somebody yells at
him TO put up or slet up. He haint got
nuthin to put up, and so he has TO shet.
II he's in a game Of poker and got q good
hand he's got to call instead of raisin'
the other fellers out o the game. I've
knowed him TO lay down with three aces
because he hadn't a dollar more to put
up. Oh, no. didn't mean nuthin wrong
I wasn't goin' 10 beat the nayburs nor pass
any OF it off at the stores bat bein' Bill
is the LATEST and most shiftless critter in
our country / wanted to gin him show at
politics and poker and make him airn his
board and clothes"
But you lost your money!"
Lost 'er slick and clean and it was all
I could raise, and from this time on Bill
and me ana the old woman will hev to
take everybodys bluff and make the hest
Of it. It'll come hard, but some must bluff
and some must be bluffed, and l s'pose
we'll somehow live through it."

HOMES IN THE STREETS.
CoZy Homes and Club Houses in De-
rallied Street Cars.

From the New York World
There is curious community in this city,
the members of which are very well shell
tered and manage to retain most of the COM
forts of home in the streets. These citizens
liva in homes which cannot boast of any
foundation, and are liable at any time to be
moved about from one neighborhood to an
ether. These homes, which are, for the most
part, exceedingly coy, are retired street
and railroad cars, that are allowed to stand
on little-used sidetracks or which have been
drawn from the tracks altogether and stand
upon some of the least traversed of New
Yorks thoroughfares. There are more than
a dozen of these scattered about the city.
Most Of these establishments have lost
their identity. The architects who have re-
modelled them have taken liberties with the
cid orthodox arrangement of windows and
doors. The first step in remodciirg such a
structure is to beard up most of the windows
and convert what remains into a few some
what wider apertureS. one aspiring archi-
tect in the vicinity of 18th avenue and 30th
street has gone so far as to add bay win
dow.
1t is quite a common practice to derail q
defunct street car at the terminus of street
car line to be used as sort Of club house
for car drivers and conductors. There is a
club house of this sort in successful opera
ton at the extreme end of the cable road on
Amsterdam avenue, fitted up in more or
less luxurious style. 1t stands about 10th
street. surrounded by lonely woods and some
fine farming land.
A superannuated freight car on 18th ave-
nue. above 2Sth street has done service for
some time as sort of receiving station and
railroad Office for that section of the city.
The blank sides of the car have been riddled
en- all sides with doors and windows, and a
skylight has been added to the roof. A vari-
ETY. of Office furniture has been moved in,
so that the interior of the old car very close
ly resembles a modern Broadway business
office

LINCOLN WAS MAD
About the Delay in Receipt of Telc-
Ernms ct the White HoUsa.

About the Delay in Receipt of TeIc-
grams ct the White House..
Il have read several of the Lincoln ami
versary speeches which have appeared in
the papers in the past few days." said Mr.
Charles Frederick last evening, land have
been struck with the statement contained in
some of them to the effect that Mr.. Lincoln
seldom got mad. and that when he did get
mad, he did not allow himself to get
very mad. If these speakers spoke from
their personal experience, 1t is all right, but
my personal experience with him one night
satisfied ME he could get up terribly good
sized case of mad at times.
Il was boy at the time, and was a mes
senger for the old American Telegraph Com
pany, which in after years was absorbed by
the present Western Union Telegraph. For
several days there had been a number of
kilograms for the President from army Off
GERS, and among them I remember two or
three from General Mcclellan. I don't re-
member now why they did not come over
the military telegraph lines. Well one night
l started over to the White House with a
telegram that knew came from Gen. Nc
C!eilan. 1t was for the President
In those days there was always a guard
of soldiers stationed at the two avenue
gates, as also at the other gates, but mes
senger boys were generally well known, and
they were admitted, day or night without
any question, at least to the front door
where another soldier guard was also sta
toned There was always an officer about
the door, who receipted for telegrams This
night. however, / saw Mr.. Lincoln coming
toward the outer gate, and thought would
personally hand him the telegram, which 1
did. He smiled pleasantly enough as he
opened 1t, but change suddenly came over
him.
Have you the other telegrams?' he de-
manded of me. l replied that had but the
one, though I Informed him that l knew that
there had been one or two others that day
from Gen. Mcclellan.
That is what he says added the Presi-
dent, and what annoys ME Is that have not
received them
Then, turning to the sentry. he said.
Send UP to the door for the officer in charge
and tell him that when kilograms come here
addressed to me they should and must he
delivered to me. Tell him also' and by this
time the President was very mad that If
he sends any more of my kilograms over to
Mr.. Stanton's house I'll drive him away
from here. Mr.. Stanton has enough tele-
grams of his own, and should not have mine
Though 1 was but 4 boy" said Mr. Fred
er!ck, Il could see that Mr. Lincoln was
mad all the way through, and that. for the
moment at least. he was displeased with his
War Minister, Secretary Stanton, and that
ne intended exactly what he said The
President. then directing himself to me. con-
tinued: Boy, tell your folks that l must
have my kilograms, and if those soldiers
about the door interfere any more I'll drive
every one of them away 1 don't want
them. and never did want them, about The

HENRY wATrERsoN's TALK.
American Editor Administers Q Sting.
ing Rebuke to Bayard.
Chicago Times-Heral

London, May 3i-The most noteworthy
American gathering held in London Of
recent years was the dinner rendered to
Consul General Collins last night at the
Hotel Cecil by the consuls OF the United
Kingdom. Three speeches were especial
~ worthy of comment. Bayard's most
emotional utterances since the ambassa-
dor conceived what are now familiar
lines in earnest advocacy Of the preserva-
ton of peace between England and
America was made. Senator Hoar fol-
lowed in the same strain. Then came q
counter blast from Henry watterson,
who made bitter attack on "self-seek-
ing nunkeyism. eager for social recogni-
ten. which gives false impression OF
the real feeling of the American people.
He avowed strong lingo sentiments de-
spite the eloquent appeals OF the ambassa-
dor and senator. The other speakers
we're Minister to Spain Taylor and Con-
suis Collins and Meeker.
The speech OF the evening was that
made by Henry Watterson, Of the Louis
vile Courier Journal, in response to a
toast. Memorial Day" 1t. In fact,
created a sensation. After several unmls-
taxable illusions to Ambassador Bayard
Mr.. Watterson began the main portion
