FAIR EASTERN SMUGGLER,
How Turkish Woman Evaded the
Customs Officers.

From the Westminster Gazette.
OF course women are better smugg,ers
than men, Every custom house officer of
the western world Is well aware of that
fact. But notwithstanding Pierre Lofts
recent revelations as to the modernization
of the Turkish harem and the revolt of its
daughters. it seems strangely incongruous
that the yelled ladies who fit in ghost
like fashion about the streets of Constan-
tinople should not only travel alone by
train, but defy the custom house officer
with a brazenness that would do credit to
a globe trotting woman of the north Or
west. Such, however is the case, accord
ing to a lady correspondent. who some
time ago Travelled in a ladies' carriage
from Constantinople to Sofia in the com
pany of a wealthy Turkish lady.
BY the help of a few French, Turkish
and Greek phrases we began a queer sort
of conversation and my travelling COM
panion explained that she was going on
a visit to a married sister in Bulgaria
Perhaps in order to impress one with the
idea of her wealth. she showed all man
ner of beautiful presents which she car
red with her in her various pieces of lug
gage. There were towels with wide en-
brOidered borders, handkerchefS with fine
needlework corners and hens. wells and
scarfs of eastern silk and ever SO many
other things, which l duly admired Then
she pointed to the enormous haSSoek
under her feet. Coffee" she said There
must have been twenty pounds in it.
Knowing that the Bulgarian custom
house officers keep their sharpest eye on
coffee and cigarettes and that we We're
rapidly nearing the frontier | gave vent
to my feelings by eXclaiming: But the
custom house, But my Turkish lady,
with the characteristic movement of the
head which with orentals implies mega
ton. clicked her tongue and said. Non,
ne Went pas ici," obviously meaning the
customs officer.
At daydawn we reach Hermanli, the
frontier station. The officer came to our
carriage, cast glance into our compart-
ment saw the Turkish lady (who mean
while had put her ''feridshi'' over her
head and disappeared at once, in defer
ence to the Mohammedan objection that a
woman should be seen by any man out
side the harem. After Il while an old
woman appeared. ''Hanum (madam)'
she said 1.-The customs officer sends me to
ask whether thou hast anything on which

IRONY ON COINS.
Mavbe Unconscious, But Often Apt
An Italians Collection.
From the New York Sun.

From the New York Sun.
In view of the discussion over the motto
..Jn God We Trust on United states
coins. a collection of such notices made
by an Italian student Amerigo Scarlatti
ard recently published in Minerva, an
italian periodical, is interesting. Scar
latti is of opinion that such inscriptions
though not intended to be cynical, too
often admit of such an Interpretation
through the Irresistible habit of the public
of ignoring the intention of the designer
and applying the motto to the coin itself.

A Domestic Breakdown.

From the London Standard.
The Earl of Kingston is not the first
peer who has had an adventure with a
burglar. A well-known lord discovered
a thief in his town house. Aided by the
butler he secured the man and then rang
the bell. A servant appeared, whom
the peer requested to go into the kitchen
and bring up policeman or two" The
domestic returned and said there were
no policemen on the premises. WHAT
exclaimed his master in incredulous tones,
do you mean to tell me that with a
cook, two scullery maids. a kitchen maid
and three housemaids in my employ there
is no policeman in my kitchen? 1t is in
deed a miracle, and our prisoner shall
reap the benefit. Turner. let the man 60

CONTEST IS ANNULLfD
SI.40o Ball Game Between
Staples and Lon& Prairie
has been Called Off

The uch-talked of bill game
between Staples and Long Prairie
teams to be played in st. Cloud on
next Sunday has been called of, it
was announced over long distance
from Long Prairie this afternoon.
The st. Cloud Times was informed
Monday by Manager Deters, Of the
Long Prairie nine, that In last Fri.
days game with Alexandra his
catcher, Myers, sustained . broken
finger, SO badly broken, that he will
be unable to play ball for several
weeks in all probability. One of the
conditions agreed to in the arrange.
ment of the contest with Staples was
that, both mines should use precisely
tie same mon, in the tame positions
~ we're used in the previous conte st.
The accident to Meyers hand makes
it impossible for Long Prairie to
live up to that part of the agreement
and it is stated that Staples refuses
to allow OF his being replaced by
another catcher.
It is unfortunate the contest has
been called of, as local fans and base
ball lovers from other nearby towns
had hoped to see q pretty fight for
supremacy between the tWo teams.
The Long Prairie base bail team
has disbanded. It has won total of
18 games out Of 21 played this season.

hearing before Judge Hudson last
Thursday and Friday, quite bit Of
interesting testimony being de-
veloped. The circumstances of the
case were about as fo1lovs: Di Cenxo
went to the railroad station at
Coleraire to get an express packag
last Wednesday, and when coming
away was accosted by Charles Weston
and Informed that he must leave
Bovey and Coleraine. He refused
and started of when he was seised
by q party of men composed of e. G.

his, John Ar1an by came, was also
put into the wagon and searched but
only had jack knife.
The captors gave the prisoners their
choice of leaving the country or being
prosecuted, while on the way to town.
Di Cenzo refused to leave ard Yereate
his refusal after reaching the depot
here, after which E. g. Ingalls, swore
u complaint against him for carrying
q concealed weapon, and he was placed
in Jail. When the case was called

was but u gross misdemeanor the
judge considered it too large and
reduced it materially. OF course the
state proved the carrying of tie con-
cea1ed weapon, and what other
evidence there was against the de.
fendent was the alleged making of
threat to get even with q certain mine
boss made several weeks ago.
On c!oss examination ingalls, testi-
fed that neither of the men who
siezed the two Italians was IN officer.

TO HOLD STREET FAIR
Date Not Yet Fixed Will
Probably be Held Latter
Part OF September

A street fair will be held here this
fall At least that is the concensus OF
opinion expressed by the old commit.
tee in charge, consisting of W. b.
Ryan, Geo .Emder, barney Burton
and T. G. Gordon.
The dates as yet have not been de-
cided on. but on account OF the late
ness of the season, it is probable that
the fair will be held the latter part Of
September.
There is . sum of money now on
hand which will 60 Q good way
toward paying for suitable attractions
and also for some of the incidental ex.
penses.
The merchants will be expect: d to
furnish suitable prizes in merchandise
for the winners in the several classes
to be competed for.
On account of the crops Of nearly
every kind such as grains, grasses and
vegetables, being of such fne growth
and quality, and with the desire
among the farmers in general that a
a fair be held this year, it certainly
should be success.
We believe that these occasions
which tend to bring the business man
and his customer, the farmer, closer
together, make for the good of the
whole community in general. That
the fairs that have been hold here in
past years, have been of much ben ett
there Is no doubt, and with concerted
action the fair can be made hum
mer.
It is understood that Geo. LaFond,
who has had much experience in this
line ~nf work will be given general
charge. Mr.. LaFond, who is now
located in st Paul, is in position to
secure the best attractions that are
offered this season.
The matter will be definitely decided
very shortly, and the dates on which
the fair will be held will then be
given out.
