COULDN'T GO ALONE.
[From the Baltimore Sun.

IFTOm the Baltimore sun.
Clinton S. Birth, United States GUS
toms inspector left for Bremen yester-
day on the North German Lloyd steam
er Roland on notice of one hour
This flying trip was brought about by
circumstances which, it is said, are I'M
precedented in the history of the Gus
toms service at this port. Two hundred
and twenty-five barrels of good whisky
are said to be responsible for these cir
cumstances.
The whisky is the property of A.
Guckenheimer & Bro, of F'reeport. Pa.
1t was withdrawn from the distillery
warehouse by Lloyd D. Shaw for expor-
tation to Bremen. The expectation was
to be made without the payment of the
tax under section $3.50 of the revised
statutes. The liquor was shipped to
Baltimore over the Northern Central
railroad and was delivered to the North
German Lloyd Steamship company at
Locust Point without the supervision of
a customs officer. 1t was placed in the
hold of the steamer Roland and about
800 tons of other freight piled on top of
When the master of the Roland made
his application for clarence papers yes
terday the customs officials discovered
that 225 barrels of whisky were on the

a the custom house.
An investigation followed, showing
that some. one had violated the law 1t
is said that the railroad company
should have notified the collector of the
port of the arrival of the whisky from
Pennsylvania and that the collector
would then have had the liquor regaug-
ed, as required by law and would have
also removed the portion of export
stamps so that certificate of exporta-
ton could have been issued in order
that the producer of the whisky could
have the allowance in tax, which
amounts to $7.921.S7.
The application for clearance by the
captain was held up until communica-
ton could be established with the treas
ury department at Washington. AS the
ship was scheduled to sail at o'clock
yesterday and 1876 passengers were al
ready on board something had to be
done quickly.
The treasury department ruled that
the steamship company would have to
unload the 800 tons of freight and wait
until the liquor had gone through the
proper channel, or that a United States
inspector should accompany the liquor
to Bremen, gauge the liquor there and
make his report to the collector at Bal
timore on his return. This last alterna-
tive was gladly accepted and Mr. Birch
was dispatched on the Roland in charge

CATCHING THE ALBATROSS
[From the Cornhill Magazine1

GFrom the Cornhill Magazine.1
BY the time that we had approached
Tristan da Cunha three or four species
of albatross had congregated round the
ship, many as thirty birds settling
on the water astern in a manner high
ly satisfactory for close and continuous
observation. After half a gale of wind
a lull not infrequently occurs, when the
speed is reduced to two or three knots;
then the hungry creatures literally
clamor for food. Directly a bird in
tends to alight the legs appear strad-
ding downward in ungainly fashion
like an i'll balanced goose of unwieldy
size. For half minute it runs along
the surface of the waves, treading
water, so to speak, until the enormous
wings become manageable. Then. the
bird swims with both wings thrown
back, like pair of lateen sails, a very
ArgOnaut on the translucent sea. AT
length the difficulty is overcome, the
wings are packed away, and-like a
large guilt rides the waves with con-
Summate ease. Sometimes it paddles
to and fro, or again, it dives gracefully
beneath the surface after squidS or
similar ocean dainties. Half a dozen
birds, perhaps, gravely assemble to in
Spect an empty beer bottle thrown
overheard, to bob up and down idly
upon the waves, and inquisitive bills
peck vigorously at the unsatisfactory
ffotsam, until a battle royal disperses
the family party. The wiser ones
meanwhile hover in midair, craning
their necks to throw penetrating
glanceS from a superior height.
With the birds settling by the dozen,
it is easy enough to capture specimens
for examination, without causing in
jury or pain. Any sharply baFbed hook
is altogether superfiuous. The alba
trosses absolutely enjoy the excitement.
and the sport obtained is not without
a novel interest. small metal frame
should be made in the shape of a hol-

WORKMAN BADLY CRUSHED.
Arthur Danold was Caught Beneath a
300 Pound Radiator and his Back
Strained.

While helping move one of the
radiators in the Northrup bank
building into place Thursday
Arthur Danold, a nineteen year old
young man was severely injured and
was taken to his room at John De-
Puy's home. The radiators are
heavy iron affairs and weigh close to
800 pounds each. Danold and another
man were sliding one across the room
on the third floor and when they
came to door sill Danold stopped
over to place block, beneath the
board on which they were sliding the
radiator. 1t toppled and fell, strik-
ing Danold across the shoulders and
back and pinned him Hat to the floor.
Other workmen in the room quickly
ran to his assistance and the heavy
weight was removed from the boy and
he was taken to his room and DR..
Teas summoned. He complains of
his stomach and back and it is a
wonder that he wasn't killed outright.
Danold's home is in Kansas City
and he works for Farley Bros, who
have the contract for steam heating in
the building. He has been working
for them two years. n JG3ra

She Was Adindged Sane.

In the probate court yesterday
there was an unusual proceeding.
When people are believed insane it is
the function of this court to secure a
jury and try heparty for sanity. This
case, however, was a reversal of that
process and Mrs. Samuel Peterson who
was adjudged insane in 1898 was de-
clared of sound mind and the former
verdict set aside. Mrs. Peterson has
been living at her home and the evil
dence shows that she is perfectly
rational and in possession of all her
faculties. This is the only way in
which a person can be restored to
sound mindedness in the eyes of the
law.
