Revenue Collector Mt Snn Frnncisca
Opposed to ItS Increase.
The secretary of the treasury has re.
ceivcd letter from IL. a. Moore. the
special agent of the department at
san Francisco, in which he discusses
the question OF the increase in the rates
of duty on smoking opium from six dol.
lars TO eight dollars per pound. as pro.
posed by the pending senate tariff bill
With the exception of few hundred
pounds, all OF the opium imported into
the United States is received at the port
of San Francisco. and Mr.. Moore cites
The records OF his Office during the last
ten years to show that from revenue
producing point of view six dollars per
pound is the highest rate smoking
opium will stand
About the same quantity Of opium. il
Is said, enters the country. either lcgit-
imatcly or by smuggling each year
and the principal question involved is
said TO be what rate OF duty will pro-
ducc the greatest revenue. At the low
cr rate smuggling, with It's attendant
risks, does not pay. and Mr.. Moore
strongly recommends that the present
duty OF six dollars per pound bc not in
creased.
Copies OF the letter have been sent to
the senate and house committees.

lance of the two families in the persons
of their respective heirs was a treaty
which had been discussed. ratified, en-
crossed. docketed. and fled among the
partnership archives long before the
persons most nearly concerned were old
enough TO be consulted Contrary to all
precedent, the young people made no
difficulties. On the part OF the Young
girl. the loyal friendship of childhood
had grown with her stature into a very
real and earnest love for the man who
was her betrothsd. And If Philips ac-
ceptance of the part assigned to him
was not sufficiently demonstrative TO
please his mother. il was due quite a.
much TO the fact that the two had
grown up together as TO any underlined
inclination on the part OF the young man
TO rebel against the conditions which
had forestalled the growth of his in
dividuality. In tranquil and dispas-
sionate way Philip was devoted TO the
young woman ~ his mothers choice:
but HIS love for Helen was rather the
outgrowth of an obedient sense OF the
fitness OF things. urged on 10y a lust
appreciation of Helen'S beauty and
goodness, than the spontaneous and
compelling passion which is no more
amenable 10 reason than it is subordi-
nate TO a sense of duty.

Craft That Never Lands.

Cratt That Never Lands.
A novel and highly re.Gunerative way
OF evading the dispensary law has been
adopted 10y the owners OF fast sloop,
said TO hail from savannah, Ga. which
regularly plies the coast of South Caro-.
lima. The craft carries poutooE
bridge and is manned by four heavily
armed and very tough-loolling Gus
tomers-three whites and one negro.
The hold of the vessel is lined with
whisky barrels.
The popularity about the navigation
of this vessel is that she never lands.
When she reaches point where il is
desired TO trade she is anchored i'm the
stream. Then the pontoon bridge. n
couple of feet wide and supported by
numerous small boats. is connected
with land. The negro goes on shore.
notifies customers, drums for trade and
watches for spies.
Only few are permitted on the boa,
at time, and these are served in any
quantities they desire. And so the trade
is kept up all night. when the sloop
moves off 10 another landing. The Gus
toners keep the crew of the smuggler
informed as to whether there are any
suspicious characters in the neighbour
hood, aud the illicit dealers have little
fear of betrayal by negroes; expert
erce has taught that for such trade
they are most reliable and safe to deal
with.
When their supplies are exhausted
they return TO port in another state and
replenish. The boat has customers and
does lively trade along 100 miles OF
coast, and as this is cash" prices pref
~ high and whisky of n very low grade,
the profits must be immense.

capabilities Therefore, the stage impressing the pub
lie mind in it's different characters should picture the
Jew in his present condition and not he was be-
leved to have been in the past when his chances for
advancement were not as good his fellowmen's.
And he is slowly gaining his way, on the stage,
honorable character and not as mark for
tire and ridicue. In Men and Women modern
drama, " Israel Cohen" Jew of the leading
characters. is the personcation of integrity and no
nor, the president of bank, and beloved by his
munty. Let us hope that future authors and play
wrights when introducing Jewish characters and
traits will study, investigate, and learn their true,
genuine qualities and then when the stage portrayal
is given the Jew will be Justly depicted he is and
by this much will be done towards disspatng
the false impression of his character and toward
breaking down the barrier between Jew and non Jew.

Baron VutIltam RotbscbiIo All Hncborte.

Baron William Rothschild, the present representa-
tive of the great family of bankers in Frankfort, is
very eccentric man He is recuse. He lives within
himself and does not to enjoy the society of his
felowmen. His habits are those of anchorite.
No monk of the middle ages scrupulous
about his religious duties more abstemious in his
diet. Baron William observes all the Mosaic iniunc-
tons. He takes his cook and cooking utensils
wherever he goes and his food is prepared according
to the strictest Jewish regimen. He will never sit at
the table with a Christian partake of food
from which Christian has eaten He is always very
courteous and deterental in his manner, but if
he is in the room with Christian who is stand
ing Barren Rothschild will sit down. If the Christian
sits down he rises In the plain little office where he
receives those who have business with him there is
only chair. The entire furnishings of the room
would not bring So at auction He has the same
desk and other furniture that used by his father
and grandfather and informed that he has
written with the quill for than forty years
but that may be exaggeration He has, however,
the same hat for nearly quarter of century,
and it is said that he buys suit of clothes every
fifth year.
This is not due to parsilnony for Baron Roth
schild's residences numerous and paatal, he has
host of servants fine horses and carriages, and his
family fare sumptuousv every day He is very gene
and gives to several men of his every year
much more than he spends for his own comfort. His
wants are few 1t is his pleasure to live simply, and
he enjoys his society more than he does that of

mentions the fact that it comes to the barons
ears he is not likely to get any more. His contribu-
tons to general benevoence always anonymous
pass through the hands of the rabbis His
never appears upon any subscription list. This IS
due partially perhaps, to the scrptural injunction
about concealing from one hand what the other hand
is doing, but also to horror Of notoriety. He has
never allowed his biography to be written and was
photographed or had his picture painted. No
likeness exists ever has been made of him. When
/ asked his secretary for some biographical nforma-
ton he replied that while no doubt Baron Roth
schild would feel highly complimented at the interest
expressed concerning him by the Chicago Record he
would be greatly obliged il his left entirely
out of it's columns and as for giving any nforma-
ton himself the baron would never forgive him in
the world if he did.
Baroness Rothscbild is very different from her hus-
band. She is recognized the society leader Of
Frankfort and is one OF the most accomplished, nf1u-
entail and admired ladies in Germany. She is the
intimate Fl iehd of the Dowager Empress Frederick.
and they have villas adjoining at Kronberg, in the
mountains near Hamburg. The Empress Frederick
always stops with the Baroness willy as they
call her. when she Frankfort, and they visit
back and forth quite frequently She is also great
fvore in circles in Berlin, and is perhaps the
only Jewess in Germany who is received everywhere.
Her name is powerful. Whatever she patronizes
goes. While she is in manner exclusive, she is very
gracious and consderate to other people and demo-
cratic in her manners. Mrs Mason, the wife of the
United States consul general, and her mother the
widow of the late Judge Burchard, of Warren are
among her intimate friends. The whole city treats
her with respect that amounts almost to reverence,
and when one asks about the intellectual women OF
Germany her is always mentioned first, and
perhaps that of Mrs. Max GOLDSMITH, her daughter,
second Baron Rothschild has another daughter,
who married her cousin Count Edouard Rothschld,
and lives in Paris He never had any sons.
Baroness Rothschd has INDUCED in literature and
art but her musical accomplishments are better

story that she engaged to marry him, but
that was long time ago and may be only a ro-
nance She has composed both for the voice and the
