THE DeEsTmcK sKULH.

An immense and thor b y
appreciative audience with esse d
home talent entertainme
at the opera eouse last night, given
for the benefit OF the Methodist
church under the direction OF Mrs.
Lem h. Hall, president OF the Home
Mission Society. The "Deestrick
Skule" was represented In all Its
funny phases from the employment
OF the teacher 10 the struggles OF
that worthy ln his efforts 10 teach the
rollicing, rustic young ideas how TO
shoot. The effectiveness OF the pre-
sentation was due as much TO the
costuming aud stage setting as to
the character acting. Prof. South,
Lamar Bethea and Prof. Alexander
were the "kommitty" to examine
the applicants for the job Of teacher,
who were Mrs. Jas. l.. Christian,
Miss Kate Lawrence, Miss Lucy
Board aud Prof. Mcmillan. The lat
ter, under the name OF "Hezekiah
Pendergrass, LANDED In the biggest
bunch of trouble In his life by being
the successful one. II would be hard
10 tell which OF the scholars proved
most mischievOus or most ignorant
in the reading, spelling, arithmetic
aud geography classes, and the
antics and answers 20 questions were
equally amusing. The exhibition n"
at the close OF the school afforded
opportunity Tor some remarkable
compositions on Spring, Files, F"
Cows ETC., also recitations and
songs, that brought back days Of the
"old field school,. The Eagle has
already blished the assumed
names Of the roll Of pupils, who
were well represented by Mile Der

SCHEME NlPPED
Islanders Cheat United States
Thru Leniency of American
Customs Officials.

Los Angeles, CAL, May lot came
to light today that for a period Of many
months the United States custom Off
Gals here have been Selling large ship
ments of Japanese goods at Port Ange..
les because of attempts on the part OF
the importers to evade the customs
laws, and that during this time goods
scheduled at many thousands of dol
lars have been confscated and are now
stored in the customs house and ware
houses of this city.
It had long been the practice of the
local customs officials to accept the for
eign invoices on the goods shipped
from Yokohama and other points to
dealers here without requiring apprais-
ers affidavits at the local port, but it
was finally discovered that the Jap
anese wholesalers on the other side were
taking advantage of this laxity and
were consigning shipments within in
voices representing about SO per cent
on the real value Of the goods.
Recently the force of customs house
officers at this port has been largely
increased, permitting thoro .exami:
nation to be made of each individual
shipment. It was then that the invoice
manipulations of the dealers were dis
covered and the wholesale confiscations
begun.
