Rules Laid Down for St Louis Worlds s Fair Exhibits.
 St Louis, June 26.-The customs reg ulations secured from the treasury de partment for the convenience of for 'eign exhibitors at the worlds fair, pro- vide that such goods, in order to be ex- empt from duties, must be received in bond at the first port of entry into this country. thence sent in bond to the ex- position and continued in bond through and to the exposition. After the close of the exposition they will be sent out of the country through the same port by which they were entered.
 This arrangement will necessitate the employment of about 800 revenue officers, inspectors, supervisors and other government employees, who will be present on the, site during the fair period. These officials will work in conjunction with the division of ex- hibit. to see that no goods are with drawn surreptitiously from the exposi- tion inclosure, land will collect duty on all such exhibits as may be disposed of. They will also superintend the packing of foreign exhibits for ship ment out of the country

Must Not Sell Explosives to Children
 Under Sixteen.
 Lieutenant Dodds of the police de- partnent paid a visit to various stores where revolvers. blank cartridge pis- tols and explosives are sold and warned the owners not to sell any of /those articles to children under sixteen years of age. He told them that there was city ordinance which prohibits the sale of such goods to children un- der sixteen years of age. A violation of this ordinance is punishable by a fine of $50 or imprison1ne With the approach of July 4 too much care cannot be taken to prevent a repetition of the innumera'ble accidents of more or less serious nature which mar the celebration of the glorious Fourth each year. These accidents have occurred with alarming frequency of late years but this year there appears to be de, cided movement to prevent so many accidents to little children. The warning of the chief of the detective force should be needed by the store l keepers.

PERMITS WERE REFUSED.

New York, June 26.--Forrnalities connected with the issuance of a permit by the board of health department for the removal Of corpses may force the detention of their bodies on the trans port Glacier, which has just returned from Manila. Officers of the ship ap- piled to the Brooklyn health bureau for the permit to ship the bodies of Dr to different parts of the country. They had no papers regarding the history of the cases and the permit was re- fused It probably will be necessary to send to Manila for the papers unless the authorities there have forwarded them by mail. If they have not done so, the bodies may be held at the navy yard several weeks.

GOVERNMENT TO INVESTIGATE.
Alleged Gold Mining Concern With
 Offices in New York.

Offices in New York.
 New York, June 26.--An investiga- tion has been ordered by the authorities at Washington of an alleged gold min ing concern with offices in this city.
 For three months past, 1t is said, the concern has been advertising freely in all the foreign newspapers. One of the advertisements translated from q Greek paper published here, reads: Have you $5? Do wish to make them ten within a month, 100 within a year and 1000. within short timer" v
 The board of managers named in the advertisement Is composed of men as serted to be filling high public posi- tions such as senator of the state of Ohio,'' comptroller of the United States treasury treasurer of the United States" etc. There also ap- pears the name of member asserted to have been formerly secretary of the treasury"
 None of the names given, however, is known at all in public life in this country.
 It is alleged that the company has disposed of considerable stock to for. eigners and the affair will be thorough. ly investigated by agents of the treas. ury department.
 The man whose name appears as president of the mining company de, clares that the advertisements are "brimful of typographical errors" and that the person named as ''comptr olleI of the treasury" is in reality New York custom house official

all the physical and mental vigor of q man of 30.
 Harlan was appointed to the bench by President Hayes, and it was said at the time that he secured his appoint ment by reason of his service as vis- iting statesman in Louisiana during the days when the election of Hayes was trembling in the balance.
 Be that as it may, nobody has ever questioned the honesty and ability of his course as justice, and he has always been regarded as one of the strong men on the bench.
 He has always had an inclination to- wards politics of the stalwart kind, and his friends say the presidential bee has buzzed persistentiy in his bonnet. Yet, in all his three score years and ten, ne has never held an elective office. That has been source of great grief to him. If he were to retire from the bench the only temptation would come from a sure prospect of being elected to something, no matter how small.
 Harlan is a great pedestrian and a devoted player of golf. He walks every day five or six miles, and it is a care day that fails to see him on the Chevy Chase links. It was Harlanwho first characterized golf as disease pot game; and he is qualified to judge. Last summer he went up to Canada with a trunk full of cases which he had promised himself to study and complete before his return aor the fall term. He began playing golf the first day and he came home without once opening the trunk.

csr's Mall. they were burned, as nobody suspected that they were anything but departmental trash. Among them were autograph letters of recommendation from famous public Nen dating back 40 years--to the time when public men were in the habit of devoting a good share of their time to recommending constituents to office end when they would pen elaborate testimonials to the heads of depart nents.
 That sort of thing has gone out of date since the civil service commission came into existence and the clerical places in the departments were gath cred into the classified service.
 There are letters from Roscoe Conk- ling, Horace Greeley. Charles Sumner and James A. Garfield. There is a let ter recommending the appointment of the first woman who ever had posi- tion in the department and one of the first who ever received an appointment in the government service. Most of them were addressed to Horatio King, who was postmaster general under Buchanan for a few weeks before Lin- coin came in and to Montgomery Blair, who was Lineoln's postmaster general.
 The striking thing about all of the letters is the peremptory tone in which they are ccuched and the air of pro- prietorship with which men not con nected with the department demanded the privilege of naming the members of the clerical force. Such letters would receive scant courtesy now from any cabinet officer; but, as rule, in 1s61 they seem to have prevailed

tied amount of dirt. It is commonly known among it's habitues as "the Hog Trough" and the "Quick and Dirty"
 It is a mint for its proprietors. Every customer picks out his own sandwich or pie, and pays for it as he sees fit. There is absolutely no check to prevent his walking out without paving if he sees fit. The personnel of the establishment consists of three or four men behind the counter who draw coffee and milk, two proprietors who take in change, and nondescript who walks around with rag picking up soiled mugs and wiping off the chair seats.
 | Yet a greater number of distin- guished public men probably patron ize this place than any other eating any time in the middle of the day one is sure to find some high government official, senator, congressman and occasionally member of the ca abinet. It is in the nature of news exchange where al sorts of public questions are talked over, and where any number of political schemes are suggested.
 It would be hard for; millionaire to spend more than IS cents in the estab- lishment, and nobody ever thought of such a thing as trying to beat it out of lunch.

that he was pos The Late Tom Reed. sessed of nearly half million dollars clear of all Indebtedness when he died.
 When Reed retired from congress he was poor man. fine had died then his widow would have been left with the o1d-fa shioned house in Portland and that is about all; for he lived fully up to his income ever since he had been in Washington.
 As speaker he had a salary of $S,oo0. As consulting counsel for the National Board of Fire Underwriters he had an annual income of about $1,500. For occasional magazine articles he rec ceived $500 apiece; and he may have averaged four of these year. A iib- eral estimate of his income was SIP, 900, for he had practically no law practice while in congress. Every cent of this went to the cost of existence in Wash- ington; although Reed never lived ex- travagantly and had simple tastes.
 He no sooner arrived in New York than the rich men with whom he asso- ciated began to put him into things, and under their guidance he bought stocks surely and 'conservatively. It would not have surprised some of his friends if his estate had inventoried a million dollars; but the general under standing was that he left about $2oo- 900.
 Reed was longing to get back to Washington. New York always seemed to him like huge mining camps place to make money, and nothing else. TJo I. ha have had his family settled in Wash ington, and he was prepared to enjoy thoroughly an irresponsible leisure. But fate ordained that it should not be.
