A $4,000 Private secretary.

Washington Letter to Brooklyn Eagle.)
Next to the Brices' great wealth, the
most important factor that has contribute
ed to their success here has been T. San
ford, Beatty, Mrs. ssBrice's social secretary.
There are scores of prominent women in
this city who have men for their secre-
tarles, but none of these clerks has
reached the position in the eyes of society
attained by Mr.. Beatty. He is the mas
ter OF ceremonies at all the functions
given by the Ohio senator and his wife.
HeAorganizes all the fetes, arranges the
music, makes up the menus, selects the
wines, dictates the guests, and, it is said,
even settles such matters as the costumes
for the fair Misses Brice. He is the sole
guardian of the Brice entertaining list.
For rendering these valuable services
Beatty receives an annual salary of &c.,
600. He is the dictator in the Brice home
and what he says is law. He appeared
at one of Mrs. Briceys swell afternoon
teas in a golfing costume, but because he
was Beatty no one was shocked. In ap-
pearance he is not what one would expect
to find in person posing as an authority
ON social matters. He is more than six
feet tall andi well built. He has pale
blue eyes, black, curly, almost kinky.
hair, parted insthe middle, and his checks
and chin are covered with a rough look
ing black brown beard.

of collection would have left little profit

business for Canadian railroads.
Popular Songs.

The latest popular tunes which every
body is singing, such as my Girls a
Hight Born Lady, "Rosy OGrady," "a
and so on, have the eternal qualities
which have made popular songs from all
time; they are tuneful, easily caught,
childlike and obedient to old-fashioned
laws of melody. They are also, for the
most part, however, remarkably vulgar
songs, in the opinionaof the Boston Trans
cript. In this respect they do not differ
from tens of thousands of popular ditties
that have gone before them. Some one
said to the Listener the other day they
were "much coarSer than the Oldfash-
Toned songs" Can one be sure of that?
They are, no doubt, coarser than the old
songs which are still sung, for, although
coarse song may become popular. it is
not likely to survive; people get sick of it
and it is slowly dropped out of memory.
Perhaps not one Of tho songs of the
moment will live, though the rising gen.
Grafton will more or less simply renem-
Der them always. Each one of them is a
kind of reminder of some tune that went
before it, and it will be the fittest, the
really most original and salient of the
resembling tunes which will be the one
to live. The succession of tunes remain
ing in any ones recollection is much like
the succession Of human acquaintance.
Some stand out boldly and ineffaceably
in the memory, having something, either
in their own quality or in our sympathy
with them, to command our thoughts and
hold our sense; others, meaning not
much to US, soon slip their moorings in
our souls and drift out into the sea of
oblivion. We take up friend as we pick
up tune, because other people we know
are taking him up; but in due time, if
he does not accord with our own internal
harmonies, he is forgotten, just as ROSY
o. Grady" will be in a year or two. If he
does accord, he remains there forever.

OPIUM SMUGGLING ON BICYCLES
And Other Develtry of the Sort on the
Canadian Border.

dakota Letter in New York SUM-
The smuggling of opium and small and
valuable articles has been carried on
across the international line near here
for many years, and large sums have
been made in the operation. OF late
years the United States officials have been
SO careful that the business has greatly
languished. From reports along the line
it is now evident, however, that a new
scheme for defrauding the government has
been put into pratice. It requires the aid
of the bicycle in its execution. The
frame tubing of wheel is found by
smugglers to be a most convenient hid
ing place for small articles. 1t is very
simple matter. to remove the seat post,
stop the lower end of the big central tube
with cork to which is attached long
seat with opium or other valuables. This
space will hold several pounds and the
machine can be ridden across the line
from town to town in few hours, and
the profits secured. There is said to be
regular line for this sort of trade between
Crystal City, a town on the line of the
Canadian Pacific road, and Woodbridge
and Hannah, along the northern edge of
this county. The receips of opium in the
cou7ty are said to amount to several hun
dreli pounds month.
Crystal City is the home of Premier
Greenway of Manitoba, and has been the
seat of long continued smuggling transac-
lions by reason of the fact that 1t is the
nearest point on the Canadian Pacific line
to North Dakota. The construction of a
line of railway from Langdon to Hannah
and Woodbridge, and the employment of
hundreds of men at this time, aid mate
rally in present smuggling operations.
The last unique smuggling operations
carried on in this section were brought to
a sudden end some four kyears ago by
secret service officials. An unusually
large number of cattle were being driven
across the line to the North Dakota mar
kets, and the officers determined to in
vestigate the matter. For some time they
looked in vain for unlawful operations,
but finally an accident revealed the fact
that the nostrils of the cattle were stuffed
with opium wrapped carefully in tin foil,
thus considerably more than doubling the
value of each steer in the bunch. Hun
dreds of animals had been driven across
before the discovery was made, and il
was estimated that some S25, 900 had been
made by the transaction. The origina.
tors of the fraud got safely away.
The Manitoba government pays very
little attention to the collection of Gus.
toms along these exposed boundaries, and
last fall hundreds of farmers living south
6f the line, but nearer to the Canadian
Pacific than to any other railroad, hauled
their wheat and oats across to Crysta
City and nearby markets for sale to Win
nipeg merchants, and did not have to pay
any import duty to the Canadians either.
The government was generally supposed
to know of the transactions, but the cost
