A Vehicle to which All Others Yield the
Right of Way Without Eisputc

At Broadway and Canal street the other day,
as occasionally will happen at the intersection
OF two such busy thorOuGhfarcs. there was =
brief blockade. A truck. whose load had shifted,
had been hauled up on the east side OF Broad

upper crossing at Canal street. until its driver
could get things in such shape that he could 90
on in safety; and this had been enough TO stop
traffic until II could adjust itself to tho new
lines required to pass the obstruction.
Among the vehicles halted in this little block
ade was one OF those giant trucks that are used
to carry big iron columns ard beams; 1t was
going up Broadway. and it was stopped Just as
the leaders OF its four-horse team stepped upon

s~uuggied Goods on tho Edward Waite
when She Went Down.

PROVIDENCE, April l6.-The fact that tho
salt-laden Yankee schooner Edward Waite.
which went down Oft Ocean City II few weeks
ago, had on board, in addition to her cargo OF
salt a few barrels OF Jamaica rum that,didn't
figure In the manifest. was no surprise to the
sea dogs hereabouts. The Waite was bound
from Turks Island for this port and was char
tered to load 5000 bushels Of salt by s. u. An
drews & Son. She WAS the second vessel with q
cargo consigned to Messrs. Andrews n Son to
be wrecked recently.
Those old fellows in the port who keep track
OF coastwise shipping. smiled when they heard
the story that the Waite was " smuggler. They
said that tho trick her people we're attempting
was old and common. II was very hard. they
said. whom n vessel loaded up II cargo at IA West
Indian port to avoid taking on something con-
traband. Jamaica rum, they say, is u handy
commodity to smuEgle through, and It also nets
quite a little sum-. At the port to which the
cargo Is consigned the Government inspectors
as n rule make only n superficial examination.
After tue cargo Is unloaded tho vessel usually
clears for some other coast port wnere she IA
likely to get II charter to n place near her homo
port. Once near home, 1t is a simple matter to
roll the barrels ashore.
The persons who charter vessels for such n
purpose rs bringing salt from the West Indies
are not usually cogn!Zant of any Illegal transac-
tons. 1t IL the members of the boats sailing
complement who carry out the scheme. The
Waite was a Yankee craft in every particular
and her home port was Portland, Me.

These hooks cost 81. 20 a dozen, or IL cents each.
another device which may tnd favor with
pot hunters is "a combination OF fishing line,
bait. and landing net, which ought TO scoop up
fish from any depth of water. but which will be
practically useless in weaklshing or shallow
water fishing generally. There Is a ring frags
two feet in diameter, to which. Is attached a
purse net eighteen or twenty inches deep. The
ring is spread by an eccentric rod htted with a
folding attachment, and from each side Of the
ring = support runs up, forming a crescent, TO
which Is attached the line, and from the centre
OF which 10 suspended the bait, The net Is
