HOLDS CANADIAN GOODS
CUSTOMS COLLECTOR RETAINS
EXPRESS PACKAGES SENT
s WITHOUT PROPER AFFIDAVIT.
New York Sun Special Service.


Niagara Falls, N. Y, March 2s.-
There is a big blockade here Of ex-
press matter from Canada thru a rul-
ing of the treasury department at
Washington. A consignor from Cana
da Is required to file an affidavit with
the collector Of customs at the port of
entry, describing the package and its
contents. This ruling was put into
effect at Buffalo, and Port Huron last
July.
Collector Brendel Of Buffalo, has a
large storehouse filled with express
matter held for failure to file affida-
Wits. The collector at Suspension
Bridge did not put the ruling into ef-
feet until a few days ago.
Representative of United States
and American express companies are
in Washington seeking to have the
ruling set aside. There Is no discrim-
ination made regarding perishable
goods.

ENGLISH Towns That Advertise.

On this side Of the water advertis-
Ing is confined to firms and private
corporations. In England, however,
municipal corporations have taken to
exploiting their advantages. The
town of Blackpool, in Lancashire,
and the Isle Of Man, have each an adj
vertising manager, whose sole duty
it is to obtain for his employer the
maximum Of publicity.
Scarborough and Ramsgate, seaside
resorts, advertise widely; Worthing,
another resort, uses illustrated postal
cards and adhesive stamps containing
views Of the town, which are pasted
en- parcels and letters; and East
bourne, Brighton, Swansea and other
places are about to go into the bust
ness on a large scale.
There is no reason, really, why they
should not do So 1t is strange that
American towns offering advantages
to holiday seekers have not followed
their example, but have left it to prl-
waite enterprises to exploit their pc
culiar advantages.-New York Jour
nal.

The strategy OF a Weasel.

ga weasel Is a wizard as well as q
fighter, and often wins his battles by
strategy" said Emmett Wolfe, of Mis-
sissippi. Il was recently in a fishing
camp that was near large stack of
lumber. 1t seemed that large num-
Der of rats inhabited the cool crevices
under the lumber pile, and on day a
weasel put in it's appearance. We
had the pleasure of seeing a battle
royal every day for several days, and
by and by the weasel had killed every
rat in the colony except one, which
was nearly as large as cat.
They fought several times a day,
and the weasel always got the worst
of it. One day we noticed it indus
triously digging hole under the
woodpipe, and though little of it. A
little later we saw it challenge the
rat to battle, and as soon as the fight
began to warm up the weasel sudden
ly turned tail and sneaked to the hole
like all possessed. The rat followed
in hot pursuit, and both disappeared

HOW TO WASH CHAMoIs.

Not every housewife knows how to
wash chamois leather so as to make it
as soft and good as new. First pre-
pare weak solution of ordinary wash
ing soda and water, wet the leather
with this, and rub into it plenty OF
white curd soap. Leave the leather
lying in this for two hours, then rub
it between the hands till it is quite
clean. Rinse the leather in a. fresh
weak solution of soda and water, to
which has been added a little soap
1t is rinsing leather in pure water
that renders it hard The small par
ticles of soap in the water impart to
it silky softness. Finally, wiring the
chamois in rough towel and hang it
where 1t can dry quickly, pulling and
brushing it we'll as it dries.

Queer Old Time Railroad Pass.

Col. William Doris of Huntingdon
enjoys the rare distinction of travel
ing en- q Pennsylvania Railroad pass
issued in 1850, which is without limit.
This pass is a curiosity, having on it,
in addition to the necessary wording,
the picture Of an engine and two
cars, which are unique, as might be
imagined. The engine is anything
but modern, and the coaches have the
old time "possum belly" in which bag
gage was carried. The Colonel re-
tains this pass because he was one
of the original stockholders of the
company-Tyrone (Pa.) Herald.

In Kent County, Md, where the
scarcity of farm hands has caused
many tenant farmers to abandon
farming, a shrewd farmer residing
near Lynch's Station is being con-
graduated on his ingenious method of
getting his corn crop cut. Catching
two negroes stealing wheat from his
granary, and after impressing them
with the enormity of the crime and
what the punishment would be, offer
ed to keep ''mum" provided they
would cut corn for him. They con-
sented readily and the farmer has his

MALTREATED YOUNG GIRL AT KENTON
Shocking Cas-: Given to Agent Stout of Society
OF Prevention of Cruelty to Children as Re-
ported in Wilmington Morning News.

OF Prevention of Cruelty to Children as Re-
ported Ia Wilmington MOrning News.
KENTON, September 2O.-Tied and
tethered to a stove as if she were a
a dumb animal, thirteen-year old Mary
Green, colored, was slashed with a
cowhide and subjected to revolving
cruelty at the home of her foster par
ents at KentOn. Shocking in the ex-
treme is this case, revealed Friday by
Humane Agent Frank Stout during
his Investigations at Kenton. AS a
result of his disclosures Griffith
Adams, colored, was fined $50 and
costs by Magistrate F. A. johns at
Kenton, and Mary Green, the colored
girl subjected to the abuse was brought
to Wilmington and will be given a
more pleasant home. Residents
thought that Adams should have been
sent to Jail instead of getting off with
a fine of $50. Agent Stout went to
KentOn and learned that the Green
girl lived with Mr.. and Mrs. Griffith
Adams, also colored, near Kenton.
The child has no mother and she was
adopted by Adams and his wife six
years ago, her father not desiring to
care for her. Agent Stout learned
that on September Adams had fog
ged the girl numerically with cow
hide. Then while blood flowed from
wounds made in her body by the
cutting leather thong, Adams tied the
Green girls hands behind her, lashed
her feet together with rope, and then
bound rope about her neck. Then
he fastened the girl by these ropes to
large kitchen stove. Adams and
his wife then left the girl tethered to
the stove and went to work.
Between 12 and l O'Clock Rebecca
Spearman, colored, while passing the
Adams house heard groans. She
peered in a window and saw the Green
girl lying down on the floor. Mrs.
Spearman notified some white neigh
bors, but they, like her feared to enter
the house lest they incur the ire Of
Adams. Meanwhile the Green child
chewed the knot that bound her to
the stove, and made her way to the
home of Mrs. Sarah Driggans, q
neighbor, who cut the thongs from
about the girls wrists and legs with a
case knife. Thegirl's arms were badly
swollen as the result of her cruel
treatment. The child was removed to
near Brenford, where she was 10.
Gated by Agent Stout. He found her
body covered from her knees to hel
shoulders with cuts, some being one
and one-half inches long and laid wide
open as if done by a knife instead o.
by a cowhide. The Green girl wai
taken to Wilmington by Agent Stout
She was barefoot and in tattters. She
was placed in the boarding house O
the Society for Prevention of Cruelty
to Children, and later will be given I
home.
