The seizure of 4O0O smuggled Mexican cigars on board the steamer Orizaba last Tuesday was followed yesterday by the seizure of 1900 Mexican cigars smuggled in on the coast steamer Santa Rosa.

Yesterday morning two police men on the dock reported to the customs inspectors that two walters had taken two valises from the Santa Rosa, and had placed them in the baggage room on the dock The inspectors found in the yaIises 1900 choice Mexican cigars from Vera Cruz. and confiscated them.
 On receipt of this intelligence Collector Jackson gave orders that the Orizaba be searched from stem to stern for snug gled goods

the weather may be. whether the sea Nv

high. The collier must be fastened at
both ends to the warship by cables.
With these two vessels rolling and
pitching to and from each otner THIS
joining Of the two Is a dangerous un-
dertaking. for both might be sunk. The
work requires the oldest and most ex-
perienced seamen. One set OF men Is
busy keeping the two vessels apart. The
first men drop rubber tenders where
they are needed and the others, under
the direction of an officer tug at the
helm and drop anchors to control the
motion Of the ship as much as possible.
The cost of simply transferring the
coal is enormous. The St. Louis or the
Harvard spends over S50,0OO in year
for getting coal out Of colliers into its
bunkers. For getting the same amount
of coal from a collier into the vessel at
sea the cost would be fully double that
amount.

Law of Prizes In War.

Very interesting to every citizen of
the United States just now are the laws
regulating the disposition of prizes cap
tured in war. A judicial tribunal called
a prize court determines all points in
relation to the disposition of captures
made from the enemy. Our laws re!a-
tive to capture made at sea are mod
eled after the laws of Great Britain on
the same subject. According to our
law if a capture is made from an
encmy's force which is equal or supe-
rior to our forces then the prize cap
tured goes entirely to the captors.
If the force of the enemy was in
feriOr in numbers and strength to our
forces then one-half of the prize goes
to the navy pension fund and the other
half to the captors. The commanding
officer Of the fleet or squadron receives
one-twentieth Of the prize, the COM
mander of each ship. unless his ship is
acting independently, receives one
| tenth Of what goes TO his ship and the
rest is distributed among the officers
and men. If a ship is acting indepen-
dent Of the rest of the squadron then
its captain receives three-twentieths Of
the amount allotted to his ship.
1t is. Of course, International law
that all captures made in war shall re-
vert to the benefit of the government
making the capture. The giving of the
prize or part of it to the captors must
be authorized by local law, as it is in no
way recognized by international law
1t is, however, at present the practice
Of nearly all governments to give the
captors at least a portion of the prize
captured. This is done as reward for
services and bravery shown, as we'll as
to stimulate men TO the greatest exer-
| ton
in the war OF the rebellion over l.
200 prizes were captured. The most
valuable Of all Of them was the iron
clad Tennessee, which was captured by
Admiral F'arragut in the battle of Mo-
bile bay. The Tennessee was valued

Helping the Pastor.

The following incident in the life OF
DR.. William Taylor is related by a
writer in the Observer: DR.. William NJ.
Taylor said to his people at prayer
meeting: Brethren. 1 am tired, tired
out. and | want you to carry on this
service and thus rest me-" The request
was promptly and heartily complied
with. Unexpectedly, however, those
who participated thus took occasion to
refer to some word or deed of their pas
tor which had helped somebody, either
the speaker himself or some one of his
acquaintance. The tired look on the
minister's face faded as he heard one
after another of these testimonials.
There were tears in his eyes when ne
closed the service. which told even
more than his words how his brethren
had helped him by making it plain
that he had helped others. Every ons
got blessing at that meeting.

A Mothers Letter

The following letter written to the
New York Herald is we'll worthy of
note. The sweet spirit of forgiveness
shown by this mother. whose heart is
filled with sorrow, is something beyond
the common
Il am the mother Of one of the sail
ors OF the Maine. I am an unlearned
woman, who can do little but read
her Bible. but have heard of the wom-
ems letters that asked this country to
fight to avenge the death of their hus-
bands and sons. | wish to say to the
other mothers of those dead sons,
Think shame to yourselves that you
should ask others to take cruel ven
geance for the death of your sons.
Vengeance is mine. | will repay saith
the Lord. In my grief shall forget
the Lord and wish that another mother
should mourn because Of a son at the
bottom of the sea? If all the sailors on
the Spanish ships were killed, would
that give us back our sons who died on
the Maine? And how many mother S
hearts must ache here and abroad. if a
war comes. May we do no murder,
nor wish in our hearts that other hands
may be dipped in blood, which is the
same thing"

Chased by a PreAident.

Mrs. Mckinley is exceedingly fond OF
children. At Canton. before and after
the election of 1896, the young boys and
girls of the town, knowing the reception
which they would find at the famous
little house in Market street, bad way
OF running in quite informally to see
the wife of the future president One
day during a rainstorm ragged little
fellow walked up the yard to the porch
and tried to get in the door. In some
way he had heard that Mrs. Mckinley
liked little boys and he, too, wanted the
honor OF her caresses. And perhaps he
should see and speak with the president
hlmself-who could tell? So he march
ed bravely up, all by himself But he
didn't know how to ring the bell, s.nd
his little knockings brought no re-
sponse. No one happened TO hear him.
and he waited and waited, his heart
sinking lower and lower under his torn,
dingy jacket. After time hope and
courage failed him, and he started
mournfully away, the tears gathering
In his big. brown eyes. Some one in
the household saw him as he walked
sadly down to the gate, and called the
attention of Mr.. Mckinley to him.
Quick as flash the wesident-elect
ran out OF the house hatless in the rain.
and brought the lad back with him,
where Mrs. McKinley's kindness and a
big plate of ice cream rewarded him
for all his trials
1t is not every poor boy that has had

A Musical Wheel.

The bicycle has reached another
phase of its constant development
through a novel and highly interesting
invention, consisting in musical in
strument which may be attached to any
bicycle and plays popular airs, without
the aid of the rider. in loud and me-
lodious manner. when the machine Is
in motion. This instrument consti-
tutes an entertaining companion for the
bicyclist on his roamings. which are
frequently rather lonely; it is so much
more welcome as it will be compan-
ion entirely submissive to the riders
wishes. 1t has been invented patented
and placed upon the market by firm
in Hamburg, and is fittingly called
"troubadour," after the wandering mu-
sicians of the middle ages.-Science and

To Hear from the TrOODs.

A st. Paul man has conceived a plan
whereby the people of st. Paul and
Minneapolis may get weekly intelli-
gence of the Thirteenth Minnesota
regiment during its stay in the Philip
pines There are great many relatives
of our soldier boys living in the twin
cities, and they want better communi-
cation with the absent ones than is af-
forded by the ordinary methods. The
scheme is to form an association which
shall subscribe to a common fund to
deffay the expense of ten-word ca
hlegram from Manila every week. A
good deal can be said in ten-wcrd
message by using the cipher code, and
as the cost is only about s25 the ex-
pense to any Individual subscriber
would be very light.

Young PhiI sheridan.

On the lst day of July young Philip
II. Sheridan, the namesake of his illus
! trious father, General Phil Sheridan,
will enter West Point as a cadet. His
entrance has been fixed for that day
as celebration of the golden ami
versary of his fathers entrance to the
nations training school, for IT will have
been just fifty years on that day since
the father stepped from the ferry-boat
at West Point and began his school
life at the academy.
1t has been one of Mrs. Sheridan S
greatest ambitions that her oldest son
and namesake Of her deceased husband
should enter West Point on the flftieth
anniversary of the day her husband
made his entrance there. 1t Is said the
mother tried to have her son appointed
to West Point during the closing days
of President Cleveland's term of office,
but failed. Not long ago President NC
kinley heard of the mothers desire and
her failure to have it fulfilled by his
predecessor. The president was not
| only great admirer of the deceased
general, but his warm personal 1rlenu,
| and when he learned Of Mrs Sheridan
wish he sent for her and asked If there
was anything he could do for her or
for her two sons.
Il have only one favor to ask. and il
you can grant it | shall be most hap
py." replied Mrs. Sheridan. Il would
like very much to have my oldest son
enter West Point on the golden ami
very of the day my husband entered.
But | am afraid it is now too late to
have my ambition gratified.'
President Mckinley replied that he
would arrange the appointment if it
were possible. 1t has been done. the
appointment has already been made out
and on the first day of next month the
young man will begin his cadet life at
West Point.
