town on the Pere Marquette. a ticket
agent is still chuckling over the manner
in which he sold a railroad ticket from
Lowell to Cincinnati on the Pere Mar

The ticket was bought by Judson Har-
mon, receiver of the road, and a presi-
Dental possibility; but it was not for his
own use. It was for William ]. Bryan.
who spoke here tonight.
The story of how the ticket happened
to be bought il a humorous sidelight on
the effectiveness Of the Hepburn COM
merce law, which is: Thou shalt issue
no free passes.
Judge Harmon. when he came back to
Cincinnati to-day. admitted that he
bought the ticket. but said: "Oh. now.
don't say anything about that. Bryan was
M guest on the way down. He might
feel embarrassed, you know"
A receiver of a railway who is mention

friend, another Presidential candidate. TO
take a ride with him on the road over
which he is the absolute autecrat. and
in his own private car. Fhe party of the
second part accepts. The party of The
first part remembers that although the
car is his own and the railroad, too. NOM

his home city without paying the guests

New York.. Sept. s.-The customs officials
believe that they have uncovered syndi-
cate Of smugglers. who have within the
last thirty years brought into this port
more than slOOOoOO dutiable goods.
They believe that by the arrest of ;
dapper. thin-voiced young man who ar
rived this afternoon aboard the German
Lloyd steamship Kronprinz Wilhelm.
they have knocked the syndicate TO
smithereens. There never was cooler
or more self-conhdent chap, Col John NJ

tablishment Of the customs house.
The audacious young person is William
T. Hardy, who has a dressmaking estab-
ilshment at S5 West Thirty-hrst street. he
was accompanied by Burton Baldwin,
who occupied the same cabin with him,
and who was interested in his business.
Twenty-eight PerIsian Gowns.
The customs officials had heard OF Mr.
Hardy before. About a year ago he came
to this port with four or FIVE other men,
presumably interested in the smuggling
game. with twenty eight Partisan gowns
The other men declared themselves to be
foreign residents, and as such they were
entitled 70 bring In larger quantities Of
foreign made stuff than a mere American
traveller.
They did bring in most of Mr., Hardy's
gowns. Il is said that Mr.. Hardy prom
ised certain percentage of the graft.
He didn't make good with one of the
men and this man put his case before
Deputy Surveyor Bishop. A few minutes
after the baggage Of the suspected men
had been dumped on the pier, it was
turned inside out
Incidentally. the delicate Air. Hardy and
his shipmate were also overhauled.

was thirty yards OF handmade lace val

with smiles although he had
declared Immediately before he was com
PEELED to strip himself that on his honor
as gentleman he had nothing on his
person.
Inasmuch as the inspectors had found
IN the pockets and the lining Of his over
coat about $500 worth OF Iaces and dress
trimmings, they naturally received the
declaration with some suspicion.
Mr.. Hardy did not lose his good humor.

trunks had been opened. In this trunk.
on the top. lay more than a dozen negIige
shirts, all Of which were pinned as If they
had just come from the haberdasher. In
spector Campbell lifted ore Of the shirts
from the trunk and looked down into the
neck Of it. He found SEVERAL dozen yards
Of lace folded in such a manner that a
cursory observation would not have shown
it,
Mr.. Hardy, seeing the game was up
touched the inspector on the shoulder
and said: You needn't examine the rest
of those shirts; they are all alike"
