MUCH SMUGGLING GOING ON.


Washington, March 2L-Collector
Of Customs Bidwell, of New York,
was in the city yesterday comforting
with Assistant Secretary of the
Treasury Spaulding regarding the re-
organized conditions at the New
York customs house. He brought fig-
ures to show that the duties collect-
ed from passengers on four steam
srs arriving last Thursday, Friday
and Saturday were $4,000 greater
than from passengers aboard steam
ers of the same lines on correspond
ing days last year. The extent of the
smuggling disclosed by the new sys-
TEN in New York has almost dunn
founded the treasury officials and
steps are being taken to- apply the
New York system as far as practca-
bic to other ports. Investigations re-
sulting from these disclosures have
revealed the fact that a large num-
Der of transatlantic passengers, sup
posedly women of wealth and fash
ion, were in fact milliners and dress
makers smuggling goods from Paris
and other European capitals. 1t IS
asserted that the disclosures are like.
ly to result in the near future in
some radical changes at Boston, Phil
adelphia, Baltimore and other large
cities whence transatlantic liners
sail.

using a fifty cent box of Stuart's
Catarrh Tablets, a new catarrh cure,
which nj the past year has won the
approval of thousands of catarrh suf-

it is in convenient form TO use, con-

safe and pleasant for children as for

Stuart's Catarrh Tablets is whole

Reports from Watonga, Okla, state
that about fifty white people, com

have been driven from Cantonement

Perkins is said to be fatally injured,
having been shot while defending his

while escaping. The Indians were led
by White Nose, a half-breed chief, who
had special grounds for grievances
against the Indian agent, Major
stanch, and took this plan Of getting
revenge. White Nose and seven
other half breeds were placed in jail
in Watonga. The Indian agent has
started an investigation and will
cause more arrests. The Comanches

fBy Associated press.l

Washington, D. c., Nov 26.-New
testimony in the trial of Mrs. Bonine
was given today by George B. Gard
ned, an attorney in interior depart
ment, who with his family had rooms
under the suite occupied by the Bon
ines in the hotel His testimony
brought out the fact that the woman
had made her first confession to him.
He had, he said. been followed to his
room by Mrs. Bonine.
"She stated to me" he said, that
she knew more about the death Of
eAyres than had been given to the pub
lie. She said she was present when
1t happened, and told me that she had
come to me because she wanted my
advice. She told me that on the
morning Of Ayres' death he came to
her room, knocked on her door and
complained of being i'll, and asked If
she could not do somtheing for him;
that when she got into Ayres' room he
had assaulted her. He had a pistol in
his hand and in the scuffle that en-
sued he was killed"
He believed she said the weapon
had been in Ayres' hand. She had
said Ayres was under the influence OF
liquor.
The following LAY she had told
Gardner that nothing was sustain
ing her except the consciousness o.
her innocence" She added that she
could not get it out and asked me Il
she had better destroy It. BY "it'
understood her to mean that she re
ferred to one of her garments, but
did not know what told her t
destroy nothing as she had not de
cided upon public confession.
The witness said on the occasion o
the dance on Monday before the kill
ing when she had approached Ayre
with carnation he had treated he
with contempt.

WHAT CAUSES DEAFNESS.
The Principal Cause Is curable but
Generally Overlooked.

Many things may cause deafness,
and very often it is difficult to trace
a cause. Some people inherit deaf
ness Acute diseases like scarlet
fever sometimes causes deafness. But
by far the most common cause Of loss
Of hearing is catarrh of the head and
throat.
A prominent specialist on ear
troubles gives as his opinion that nine
out Of ten cases Of deafness is traced
to throat trouble; this isprobably ov

MINE DISASTER

AWFUL EXPLOSION OF GAS

Connellsville, Pa, March 25.-A special train composed of box car and fast engine brought into Connellsville today the most frightful host of grooming, blackened and unrecogmizable men ever hauled into this town. These were the victims of a terrific mine explosion at the Gates mine of the Eureka Fuel Company, in the New Klondlke coke fields in this (Fayette) County.
 The mine has been worked only a few months, and the cause of the explosion was probably accumulated gas. Twenty eight went into the pit to work this morn ing Of this number sixteen were in jured. As soon as possible after the ex- plosion a force of men went to the res- cue. Great crowds of grief-stricken wives and relatives surrounded the shaft, one by one the victims being found. Just as they were reached by the rescuers several expired.
 Three or four of the injured men will probably die. All are terribly burned and some have lost their eyes. The dead miners were taken to their desolated homes.
 All the dead and injured are foreigners and no names have yet been obtained

How Quinine Is Taken In Malarlal Sec

From the New Orleans Times-Democrat.
 '"The quantity of quinine taken by for eigners on the southeast coast of Mexico is something simply incredible said d resident of New Orleans who is interested in coffee culture in the sister republic
 There Is a general belief among the American and English all through that region that the drug is necessary for the preservation of life, and they keep full of 1t from one years end to another. The first time I visited the coast I stopped at Frontera, the first port east of Vera Cruz, and as soon as our ship tied up it was boarded by a tall sallow man, who turned out to be an American engineer

Sure replied the purser, and diving into his cabin he came out with an armful of tin boxes, about the size of tea canisters, and Japanned green Each of them held a pound of quinine. I never saw 1t put up that way before and, naturally. I was surprised.
 "I soon scraped an acquaintance with the engineer and made bold to inquire what in the world he wanted with such a supply.

The Alabama Convention.
From the Nashville Banner.


 The Democratic Convention of Alabama which met to nominate delegates to the Constitutional Convention soon to as- semble in that State, was unnecessarily extreme in some of it's declarations For instance, it declared that time had proved the negro unfit for citizenship and self government, and while proposing the elimination of the entire negro vote gave the pledge of the party that no white man should suffer disfranchisement De- clarations of this kind not only defy the spirit and letter of the Federal constitu tion, but they work as an irritant upon a certain element in the North whose pas sions and prejudieces it would be wiser. for the ends desired not to unduly ex- cite
 Beyond all question, the indiscriminate negro suffrage which a frenzied condi- tion of politics brought about in the lat ter sixties was a grievous mistake. a po- litical crime and 1t has been productive of great evil. Not the least of these evils were the political methods to which re- sort was made to get rid of the negro vote It is both advisable and commend abble, therefore. that the white people Of those southern states afflicted with ne- gro majorities should set about devising legal means for eliminating the vicious and tlHterate vote and placing the ballot exclusively in the hands of the more in- telligent element. But the declaration in this Alabama Democratic pronouncement that negroes, as negroes, will be disfran- chised, while all white men will be al- lowed to vote, is something legally impos sible and savors of a reactionary and re- calcitrant spirit likely to create unnec- essary friction.
 The north has come to understand fair ly well the true conditions in the south. and the reaction in that section against hn rndtn YNfrtA Af Al@ .-{.. marked, but the south should also have become conservative with time and s should abide within the limitations of the law and with due regard for changed con ditions
 There have been some very able papers published recently In the Atlantic Month ly on the reconstruction period. One of the best among them was by that dis tinguished Alabamian, Hon. Hillary Her bert. While these papers reveal the great wrong and outrage done the south by the radical legislation succeeding the civil war. they show also that some of this legislation was provoked by intem- perate and ill-advised action on the part of southern legislatures under the John son regime The south of today should be wiser than were those Legislatures. All tendency to Bourbonism should be discarded and the new conditions, those that must of necessity prevail in the fu- ture not only recognized but looked squarely in the face. The Federal Su- preme Court has never yet decided on the constitutionality of the Louisiana and North Carolina constitutions Why pro- yoke by rash and provocative party dec larations an adverse public sentiment that may be detrimental to the reforms those constitutions have made? The purpose of the constitutional convention to be held in Alabama is well understood, but why should 1t not proceed with moderation common sense and a due regard for the law7
