LIVE BY SMUGGLING
INHABITANTS OF ST. PIERRE, NEW
FOUNDLAND, DO BIG BUSINESS
IN CONTRABAND GOODS
CUSTOMS OFFICERS ACoUIEscE
Liquors and Opium Carried to
and From the Little Port
With the Greatest
Impunity.

The greatest smuggling center on the
face of the earth today is St. Pierre, the
French colony off the south coast of
Newfoundland. 1t is the center of an adj
mirably organized system of Illicit trad
ing. Opium Is smuggled to New York
and Boston, cognac is smuggled to the
Maine seaboard, and whisky is smuggled
to Cape Breton and up the st. Lawrence.
The governments of the United States,
Canada and Newfoundland have tried for
years to stamp it out, but it still thrives
amazingly.
An idea of the extent of the contraband
operations conducted there is supplied by
the fact that Its annual imports are val
ued at $24O per head of the population,
whereas Newfoundland's only amounts
to $40 per head. AS st. Pierre is ostensi-
bly, only a fishing shelter port and its
total of inhabitants is under 6,000 with
no industries save the fisheries 1t is clear
that all this commerce is not legitimate
and the proof is only too abundant of
what becomes of the surplus. st. Pierre
is, strange to say, a place where snug
Cling is encouraged by the authorities
or. at any rate, paSSively acquieSced in.
A British consul is not permitted there,
because his presence would be a deter
rent to the traffic; an American consul
some years ago was so active a partici-
pant in 1t that he had to be removed; a
Newfoundland agent sent to st. Pierre
in 1897 was mobbed and had to fly for his
life from the threats of the crowd; and
last summer the French customs COM
missioner there, M. Ferry, was burnt in
eftigy and was forced to embark under
an escort of gendarmes, because it was
thought that he had given information
to Canada of the smugglers' doings.
How st. Pierre comes to be so con-
venient a center for smuggling is that
France, regarding it merely as a fishing
station, charges only trifiing duties on
imports. Then, its location in the midst
of alien territories, it's isolated remote
ness and the strange tongue of its people,
all enable the traff1cking to be done with
a shrewdness and profit not possible
under other circumstances For instance.
the duty on rum entering Canada is So. 40
a gallon; at ST. Pierre it is only 20 cents
Therefore it pays the Pierrois to buy
West India rum in bond at Halifax, bring
it to ST. Pierre and pay the duty of 20
cents gallon, and then transfer it to
light, handy kegs, which are smuggled
The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1901-09-15

into every cove along the St. Lawrence
foreShore.
The most profitable smuggling, of
course, is done in opium which contains
such great value in such small bulk The
Gloucester (Mass.) fishing vessels are the
instruments of this traffic. They run
into st. Pierre on the home trip purchase
stocks of opium and French wines and
perfumes, and, amid the great number of
vessels entering the New England ports
daily contrive TO land this secret addt-
ton to their cargoes without arousing
suspicion.
The most audacious fraud of all was
that carried out with the connivance of
the United States consul before men
toned. Corn spirit was imported from
Illinois, being conveyed down from the
seaboard to ST. Pierre by schooner. The
liquor was always packed in twenty-five
gallon casks, handy sort of package,
and the ships clearance showed St
Pierre as her destination. She never
entered that port, however, but hove to
off the islet, where she unloaded her
cargo into the ancient schooners wait
ing there for the purpose. These car
r1ed the liquor up the ST. Lawrence
where it was run in one or more of
the many harbors of the province of
Quebec, the French-Canadians being ex-
tremely partial to this intoxicant The
original carrier was, meanwhile, sent
back to the United States with a fraud
ulent certificate to the effect that her
cargo had been duly landed at st.
Pierre. After a while the American au-
thorities suspected something wrong
and a detective was sent with a ship
ment of the stuff right from the distil-
lery. He exposed the whole plot, and all
concerned in it had to decamp at once.
On less elaborate SCALE however, the
practice is now being revived, and the
Newfoundland government is pursuing an
active crusade against it. Rum is
beverage much in vogue among the New
foundland and Nova Scotian fisherfolk,
and these coasts are always easy dump
ing grounds on which to unload cargoes.
Last year $4,000 gallons of rum were
brought into st. Pierre from Halifax.
That meant an annual consumption of
seven gallons of it by every human in st.
Pierre, if it was all consumed there,
besides which there was the champagne,
wines, brandies, whistles, liqueurs and
other beverages to be considered. How
ever, it is well known where the stuff
goes. When some smugglers were
caught red-handed a few years ago
one of them admitted having brought
1900 gallons of rum into the colony in a
twelvemonth without paying a cent of
duty. 1t is estimated that Canada
loses $250,OOO yearly by the whisky snug
Cling up the ST. Lawrence, and st. Pierre
is known to possess four millionaires
and three almost millicnaires, whose for
tunes have been amassed in this con-
traband traffic.
The st. Lawrence branch of the enter
prise is conducted with worn-out schoon-
ers which would fetch little or nothing
if seized by the Canadian coast guards
and sold under a writ of confiscation.
These craft are supplied with suits of
sails of different colors, which are
changed at intervals, so that the vessel
may not be so easily detected.
The liquor Is usually hidden behind
false bulkheads in the skin of the vessel,

q1ently they and their families are
clolhed IN the same fashion. A few years
ago an inquiry in the assembly elected
the 1act that in one large southern dis
trlct, with population of 10000 souls
the total of customs duties collected for
year was but $3.50, while 50, 500 was ex-
pended in maintaining a staff to keen
down smuggling. 1t is needless TO saw
that the outcome of this exposure was a
shake-up' in the said staff; and a reve-

cate 1t altogether, for as long as St.
Pierre remains a French possession there
will always be the temptation for daring
coasters to venture in there and ship a
cask of liquor or stock of tobacco. not
to mention smaller matters From reIia-
bic estimates it is calculated that the col
ony still loses 100000 a year through this
cause, but that is small beside the loss
to Canada and New England.
The smuggling of liquor into Maine is
done by means of casks and other re-
ceptacles brought along by the United
States fishing schooners, with the Amer
lean revenue seals still intact on them.
Ihls is done by removing a stave or
board from the package and emptyins
and filling it by that means. With

the fruit or vegetable, whichever you
will. The famous Colorado seed has been
freely transplanted in Georgia soil, and
high average of solid melons is being
secured. They are just now coming into
the market at their best.
Right here it may be of interest to
state peculiar fact. 1t is popularity sup
posed that there is less meat consumed
in hot weather than in cold. Yet, Gus
taye Obendorfer, steward of the Holland
house, will tell you that the per capita
of the trSt-claSs hotel consumes more
meat In summer than in winter This is
explained by the fact that almost every
one eats more or less cold meat and lots
of salads in summer. The average person
Will consume twice the quantity of cold
meat that he will of hot meat. Salads
OF all sorts require the best of meats,
and the original statement is accounted
for
To give a notion of the Importance of
the steward or buyer as a purely COM
merclal person, one need only quote Mr..
Opendorfer who says, in the most nom
chalant way. I'VE buy most of our
canned goods by the carload. There are
some canned goods the standard of which
is SO high ana the nature of which per-
mlts OF our buying for a year in adj

thing particularly good in these lines We
may take two or three carloads"
Other things are bought in proportion
ate quantities, as, for instance, a certain
little securing brick we'll known to al
most every housekeeper. OF these the
Holland mouse uses at the rate of fifteen
day, and, while there is little or no
benefit, except for expediency, in buying
large quantities of some of these articles,
they are frequently purchased by the
ton, and delivered in regular quantities.
Inc buyer for Charles Delmonico has a
large warehouse in the lower part of the
city, and his stores take on the dignity
or big commission house. where they
BUY directly from the producer in huge
quantities. The chefs of the two Del
monico restaurants are given their pick
OF the mass, and the rest is sold to
smaller consumers. This is practically
true of the Waldorf where Luo-
wig Won Arnim, assisted by Charles
Scnaffer, looks after the supplies. Just
now the smaller-sized Canadian cante-
loupe is in fine condition, and the COM
mlSSary department of Mr.. Boldt's big
caraVansary practically controls the out
put of it, receiving on an average a
thousand day. When one considers
that this melon which is just becoming
known, is raised by but a few private
Farms IN canada, and that they bring
from 60 cents to 81 at retail. tt is easy to
grasp an idea of the Importance OF the
hotel marketman, who usually possesses
clear-cut, unique ideas on how and what
to eat, in addition to the business abi-
ity he must possess
There is E. A. Darling, of the Fifth
Avenue hotel, for instance. Mr.. Darling
is one of the properitors of the hotel, but
buying is a hobby with him. He does not
interfere in any way with Steward Todd,
who also has ideas about things to eat;
but between the two they manage to

Hello, French! That you? All right.
Now say, this is the second time l have
had to speak to you fellows about beetS.
l won't do it any more. I've sent back
the lot you sent this morning. It's poor
shop that can't handle a good quality
of such common truck as beets.''
1t would have delighted any housewife
to hear the foregoing spoken very de-
cisively into a telephone by the man who
does the marketing for one of New
York's big hotels, says the New York
Times. This man, whose nominal posi-
ton is that of steward, also said other
things into the phone, the like of which
many housekeeper would like to say to
the corner groceryman or the insolent
iceman, but is prevented by either ordi-
nary self-respect or fear of making
bad matters worse, as the question OF
marketing rears it's insistent and hungry
head day by day.
There was a time when the man who
had the task of seeking supplies for the
guests of the hotel or restaurant for
which he was the buyer rose just after
midnight and went out into the clammy
unhealthfulneSs of the air that prevails
between midnight and early dawn. At
that time, in the old days, he made his
way to the water front, east and west,
at the lower end of the city to be in
house, farm factory, abattoir, or the
sea and river offered in the markets by
producers from every state in the union,
each of which sends its best to the mar
ket where the quickest sales and high
est prices always have and probably
always will prevail. When it was nee
essary to get up and out in all sorts of
weather the buyer of the average hotel
was not the pleasantest man in the world
fn fi,0l11r ~,
ing marketward. He had before him the
prospect of dealing with a half-awakened
ill-natured crowd of men who would,
think II more than good could they by
any hook or crook foist on him any in
ferior thing at a very superior price
In these days it was not so much an
exposition of competition on the part of
the hucksters to sell as it was an exhi-
bition of competition on the part of the
buyers to be first on the g ound in or
der to secure the best
Nowadays it is quite different. The
