SMUGGLING plot barred.
Customs Officials at Nogales, Ariz.,
Arrested for Illegally Ad-
hitting Chinese.
MANY ARE INVOLVED IN THE FRAUDS.
william NJ. Hocy, Collector of Cus-
toms at That Place, Among Those
Arrested-Was Appointed from In
diana-Chinamen Used as Detec-
tives to Ferret Out Frauds.

Washington, Aug. 26.-Probably the
most important arrests ever made in
connection with the smuggling of Chi
nese across the Mexican border into
the United States were made Friday
in Arizona when William NJ. Hoey, col
lector of customs at Nogales; B. F..
Jossey, an immigrant Inspector;
Frank How, a Chinaman living in
Nogales, and another Chinaman living
at Clifton, Mexico, just across the bor-
der from Nogales, were taken into GUS
tody by special agents of the treasury
and secret service operatives. Other
arrests are expected to follow within
day or two.
Many Involved in Plot.
1t is stated that with two or three
exceptions the whole customs and i'm
migra ton administrations at Nogales
are involved. Some time ago an Of
fetal of the treasury department hav-
ing Nogales as his headquarters wrote
the department that he had reason to
believe the official force at that point
was corrupt, and that Chinese in large
numbers were being Struggled across
the border for consideration. A Sc
cret service operative was sent there
at once and plans laid to secure evil
dence against the persons under sus-
picion.
Cinnamon Used as Detectives.
Several Cinnamon were furnished
with money and sent on to buy their
way through the official Gordon. This
was accomplished without difficulty,
the price demanded being 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
beng received from Cinnamon and to
be admitted into the combination, so
that they might get their share of the
proceeds of future deals. This was re-
luctantfy agreed to and considerable
sums of money were handed over in
the presence and full hearing of Sc
cret service man who had previously
secreted himself in a nearby Office
closet. The officials soon found that
Cinnamon who presented a certificate
marked 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
etter A on a certificate indicated that
the amount demanded had been paid.
Several Cinnamon were sent through
with the requisite A mark on their GER
tificates made by one of the secret
service men. The utmost care and Sc
crecy was maintained from the first to
secure positive proof against each man
under suspicion. A special United
States attorney will be detailed to
prosecute the persons arrested.
Hoey was appointed collector about
year and half ago.
The number of Cinnamon who have
bought their way into the United
States through the connivance of the
Nogales officials is not known, but it
is believed to be large. A special agent
has been ordered to Nogales to take
charge of the office if he finds it nee
essary.

ana thaf no matter how infatuated the
girl may be she viii rebuke any gymp-
tom of assurance or confidence with
instant and condign punishment. But
she does this, not because she dislikes
audacity in suitor. but because she
deems it unbecoming to surrender
without contest and it humiliates her
to have him think that she is an easy
conquest, says the Chicago Chronicle.
A girl may fancy man and even en-
courage him, but when she faces the
question and is compelled to decide
whether she will have him or not many
considerations may affect her choice
and make her wish she had not suf-
fered the affair to go so far.
Men do not and never will know
women. Women do not know them
selves. The sex is full of contradic-
tions. When a woman is fondest of
man she most delights to tease or
torture him. When she dislilxes his
very presence she is often most gra-
cious. Women are often called
dreams-and, like dreams, they go by
contraries.
Few men ever get really acquaint-
ed with a woman until they have
married her and lived with her
awhile. She will hold her true self
IN the background and recede as he
advances. That is why many girls
who are popular with men are dis
liked by women, who know them bet
ter, and why the fayorite of all the
women is sometimes neglected by the
men and permitted to become an old
maid. That, too, is why many men.
soon after marriage, discover that
they have made grieyous mistake.
A man ought not marry a girl in a
hurry, nor should he marry one
whom he does not know very well.
A man ought to consider how his
namorata will look ten years after
he wedding. He should compare her
with her mother and should ask him
self: Were she to become fat

owe her still?"

THE APES OF GIBRALTAR.
fhere Are Several Tribes of Them
Wandering over the Great
Rock

1t is perhaps not universally known
that Gibraltar, the fortified rock and
British stronghold commanding the
entrance TO the Mediterranean. and
thus the maritime route to the far
east, is the only spot in Europe
where wild apes are still to be found.

days in Gibraltar, writes as follows:

ALWAYS PUZZLIEG TO MEN.
to Interest and Mystify the
other Sex.

When men are very young they think
they know all about women; when they
reach middle age they confess they
understand only few members of the
sex; when they attain the full matur-
ity of their mental power and have had
a wide experience they give the prob
lem up and confess that women are
past finding out. An experienced man
is amused If not angered TO hear cal
low youths boasting of their knowl-
edge of women's WAYS. One youth in q
cafe the other night delivered the dec
laration that no wise man ever had a
proposal of marriage rejected by a
woman because a wise man could find
out what the answer would be before
he put the question. There are q hun
ared little ways of finding out a wom-
ans mind" said he, "and any man of

TAKING COUNSEL WITH THE CABINET

President Roosevelt Also Called In

President Roosevelt is at work on

IDENTIFY endeayorng to fully inform him
sell with regard to all public uues-
tions. II Is stated that he Is putting
the Cabinet officers through very
thorough course of examination as to
the condition Of affairs in their re-
spective departments. and he is also
continuing to send for leading mem
bers of both branches of Congress,
that they may give him the benefit of
their views and experience in National
matters. Senator Aldrich, of Rhode
Island, and Senator Allison, OF Iowa,
chairmen of the important committees
on finance and appropriations are the
latest to be called in consultation. 1t
is said that Mr.. Roosevelt will not
devote much space to discussion of
finance and currency in his forthcom-
ing message, believing that those mat
ters have been pretty well settled by
recent legislation, and that the coun-
try will get along better without any
further agitation of the subject at
present. The condition of the Treas
ury Is not such as to require the Pres
ident to make any radical suggestions.
