SMUGGLING OF CHINESE.
Has Been Going On by Wholesale
Plan in Mexico.

Washington, Aug. 25.-Probably the
most important arrests in connection
with the smuggling of Chinese across
the Mexican border into the United
States were made recently in Arizona,
when William A. Hoey, collector of
customs at Nogales; B. F. Jossey, an
immigration Inspector; Frank Howse,
Chinaman living in Nogales, and
another Chinaman living at Clifton,
Mexico. Just across the border from
Nogales, were taken into custody by
special agents of the treasury and
secret service operatives. Other ar
rests are expected to follow within a
day or two. 1t is said that with two
or three exceptions the whole Gus
toms and immigration administrations
at Nogales are involved.
Some time ago an official of the
treasury department, having Nogales
as his headquarters, wrote to the de-
partment that he had reason to be-
lieve that the official force at that
point was corrupt and that Chinese
in large numbers were being smuggled
across the border for a consideration.
secret service operative was sent
there at once and plans laid to secure
evidence against the persons under
suspicion. Several Cinnamon were
furnished with money and sent on to
buy their way through the official cor
don. This was accomplished without
r, he hni q
from $50 to 5000.
The secret service men also ar
ranged with one or two employees,
whose honesty had been tested, to go
into the collectors Office at certain
time and demand share of the money
being received from the Chinaman and
to be admitted into the combination
so that they might get their share Of
the proceeds of future deals. This
was reluctantly agreed to and con-
siderable sums of money were handed
over in the presence and full hearing
OF secret service man, who had pre-
viously secreted himself in a nearby
Office closet.
The officials soon found that China
men who presented certificate mark
ed with the letter "a" were allowed
to proceed without question, while
those having certificates that did not
bear this cabalistic mark were turned
back without ceremony. Later on it
was developed that the amount de-
manded had been paid. Several China
men were sent through with the requi.
site "a" mark on their certificates
made by one of the secret service men.
The utmost care and secrecy was
maintained from, the first to secure
positive proof against each man under
suspicion. A special United States at
torney will be detailed to prosecute
the persons arrested. Hoey was ap'
pointed collector about year and a
half ago. His home is in Muncie.
Jossey is from the state of Washing
ton. The number of Cinnamon who
have bought their way into the United
States through the alleged connivance
of the Nogales officials is believed to
be large. A special agent has been
ordered to Nogales to take charge of
the Office. If he finds it necessary.

for the season. Two lions that are
used in the play were in a cage on the
stage when a sudden rush of wind
made the building tremble. Warning
cries caused the performers to leave
the stage not a moment too soon
Bricks came down from the high walls
running the stage and bending the
lions cage. The lions roared in ter.
ror. AS the performers rushed out a
shout was raised in the street that the
lions were loose and the crowd which
had seeked shelter in the corridor fed
panic stricken. The lions did not es.

the beasts were cut by the bricks.
On the south side of Newark avenue.
opposite the theater, the roofs Of IL
three-story buildings were ripped off.
The storm struck st. Matthews Luth-

the steeple. Van Worst park, in the
heart OF the business district, was the,
scene of the storms fiercest work.
There the growths of many decades
were uprooted or broken off as though
they were made of pipe clay. A piece
of the roof of the Union League club,
opposite the park, was lifted and car
ried over to the park and dropped on
the ground.
No persons were killed or injured so
far as known. The storm in New York
city was confined to heavy downpour
of rain with a violent wind. It was
heaviest in the Bronx. where the
streets were flooded. The cut through
the Harlem division, where the New
York Central runs, close to Williams
burg, was flooded from two to three
feet. There was much sand on the
railroad tracks and trains were unable
to get out. At the One Hundred and
Eighty-third street station the plat
form on the downtown side of the
railroad was lifted and washed out
to the tracks. This. with the water,
blocked all the south-bound trains for
time.

"Literature of All Nations and All
Ages"

AS its name indicates, this is an epitome
of the worlds literature from the earliest
known writings to the present time EX-
tracts from the writings of great authors
in all lands and Of all times have been
carefully selected and compiled into ten
volumes, published under the editorshir
of Julian Hawthorne, John Russell Young
and John Porter Lamberton. To gather
together and compress into ten volumes
even a synopsis of the worlds literature
has required genius.
It's plan, in brief, is to give under clas-
sification partly chronological and partly
national, groups of extracts from the
writings of the masters, and to preface
these with such biographical and critical
notes as may be essential to intelligent
reading. To exempIify the skill with which
the selection Of extracts has been made,
it may not be arniSs to cite one author,
and perhaps none is more popular, and
hence none better adapted for this ex-
ample than Longfellow. After a short
biography of the poet, the ninth volume
gives the following from his writings;
The Open Window, "Pega sus in Pound, .
The Cumberland" Paul Revere's Ride, -
Hawthorne, " two scenes from "Evange-
line''-that between Evangeline and the
lover-an extract from the introduction of
"Hiawatha," and one of the Tales of a
Wayside Inn"
One of the most important consdera-
tons in a work of this kind is the facili-
ties afforded for its use, and this colec-
ton is admirably indexed. Each volume
contains d well arranged table of con-
tents, and in the last there are three in
dexes OF the whole work-a biographical
list of authors, a chronological view of
the contents arranged by nations, and a
large general index of subjects, authors,
and extracts from their works
Any notice would be inadequate which
did not speak in most favorable terms of
the beauty of this work, viewed purely
as a matter of bookmaking. 1t is printed
on especially made paper in large, clear
type. and the volumes, although large,
are not heavy or cumbersome, and are
well and strongly bound. There are a
large number of very excellent illustra-
tions.
Another thing deserving of mention is
the publishers plan of advertising and
distributing lne DOCKS. Inc SUBSCRIPTION
price of the sets is s35 in silk buckram,
s45 in half Russia. and $50 in edition De
Luxe. The publishers propose to place a
few complimentary unbound sets of the
Literature of All Nations and All Ages
among a few representative people, and
the Interstate Press have received a
small allotment of these sheets and illus
trations and also have the authority to
distribute these sheets at their option en-
tirely free of expense, and the publishers
expect in return favorable commendat ton
prior to the regular sale. The compli-
mentary sets will be in every way shape
and form the same as the subscription
edition, which is sold at the above prices

the Register correspondent by the
gentleman whose reputation for truth
and veracity cannot be questioned,
even by the learned editor of the
Eighth street sheet. If the venerable
local editor would devote his time to

contain some news that has not al
