NEW FORM OF swINDLE.,
Tickets Of Admission to United States
Sold to Immigrants,

New York. Dec. IL. = The sale of
tickets of admission to the United
States is the latest form of swindle
discovered by the immigration author
tiles. A man who was passenger
on the Hamburg-American liner Amer
ika sold more than forty of them to
voyage passengers on the ship which
arrived yesterday, receiving not less
than 81 apiece for them. With these
tickets the immigrants were told they
could enter the country without diff
Guilty. The ships officers discovered
the swindle and compelled the return
of the money. The man probably will
be prosecuted.

KING OSCAR, MOST LOVED OF Eu.
RoPEAN MoNARcHs, PASSES
AWAY,
WHOLE COUNTRY MOURNS LOSS
CROWN PRINCE TAKES OATH Of
OFFICE UNDER TITLE OF
GUSTAVE v.

Stockholm, Dec. 10.-Oscar H.. king
of Sweden, died at $40 O'Clock yester-
day morning. The death of the veneer
able monarch occurred in the royal
apartments of the palace where, sur
rounded by the members of his family,
including the aged Queen Sophia and
the crown prince, Oscar Gustave, and
high ministers of state, the inevitable
end had been awaited, while outside
the palace great crowds stood with
barred heads and fearful eyes long aft
er the announcement came of the
death of their we'll loved sovereign.
Sweden Bowed With Grief.
The whole country is bowed with
grief, for King Oscar was something
more than ruler of his people and
had endeared himself to them as an
intimate personal friend. When the
flag on the palace was dipped to half
mast there was a. moan of anguish
from the assembled multitude and
many of them cried, Our dear old
king is dead!"
No national mourning will be pro-
claimed. To-day all the theaters will
open again with the exception of the
royal opera.
Gustave ". Takes Oath.
The succession to the throne of
Sweden now passes to Oscar Gustave
Adolphe, duke of Vermland. the oldest
son of the late king. At meeting of
the council of state yesterday after
noon the new king took the oath of
Office under the title of Gustave V.

ireIands Population.

The population of Ireland reached
The maximum in 1911, when it had
S,175,124 inhabitants. The estimated
population in the middle of 1905 was
1891, sos. For the last sixty-five
years it has been steadily declining,
though in very recent years not at
the same rate as in certain decades.
IN 1901 the country had an est
mated population of 5,319,SS1, though
down to 1913 the census returns for
ireland are not regarded as accurate.
In 1905 the natural increase was 81;
761, and the loss by emigration prin-
'ipally to the United States, was go
Sc. The decrease in population was
2,915 since the returns for 1904. There
was a SLIGHT set-off from immigra-
ion of which there is no official
record The decline for the last three
years was 1903, 1876; 1904, 1864;
1908. 2,915. The falling off in emf
grafton is reflected in these figures.

Tricks Of Alcohol sn,uoalers,

Because the city of Paris exacts a
duty Of nearly Sc cents a quart on
alcohol brought within its limits,
there has arisen a class OF profess
sional smugglers who resort to all
manner OF ingenious tricks to get the
precious fluid past the officers at the
barriers without paying duty. For
several months smugglers disguised
as stone masOns carried wooden beams
through the gates without attracting
the attention of the officers on guard.
One day, just as the last man of
the squad passed the barrier. with a
cherry "Bonjour, comrades" he STUN
bled over a stone and fell headlong
Fearing that the man was hurt, an
official darted forward to help him
to his feet. The fallen man jumped
up and made off, leaving the beam
behind him. Moreover, his compan-
lens took to their heels. The reason
for their flight was soon plain. From
one end of the beam there oozed a
thin stream Of alcohol. The beam
was hollow.
A successful type Of smuggler is a
sma:tly dressed man of leisure. I'm
der his spotless waistcoat and white
shirt he carries an india rubber plast-
ron brimful Of alcohol. Sometimes
the india rubber receptacle is replac-
ed by one of tin. Even tall silk
hat has been used to conceal the
heavily taxed fluid. A smuggler of
