EYADED THE CUSTOMSLAW
WOMEN ATTEMPT TO IMPORT
GOODS WITHOUT DUTY.
Mrs. Jack Gardner Implicated-Gov'
ernment Officials to Push
the Case.

Chicago, August 20.-The United
States authorities in Chicago, Bos
ton, and Washington for the las
eight weeks have been investigating
the most remarkable attempt te
"beat" the customs laws evel
brought to their attention. The
audacity of the scheme and the
standing of the participants break
all records.
Mrs. Emily Rockwell Crane Chad
bourne, who is now living on the
North Shore, daughter of Richard
T. Crane, president of the Crane
Manufacturing Co., and Mrs. Jack
Gardner, of Boston, are the unlucky
persons involved. Mrs. Chadbourne
brought into this country as hel
household goods under false dec
laration, nearly 100000 worth Of
articles belonging to Mrs. Gardner
on which she placed valuation OF
$4,000. The result to date has been
First, the goods have been seized
by United States Collector Ames
and are now confscated by the gov
ernment.
Second, an agent acting for Mrs
Chadbourne or Mrs. Gardner paid
the government $4,000 in fines and
penalties and Mrs. Gardner will have
to pay $4,000 additional if she
wishes to secure possession of the
property.
Third, the case in all probability
will be placed in the hands of the
prosecuting authorities and it is not
unlikely that both women will have
to face indictments at the hands OF
the next federal grand jury that
meets in Chicago.
There are few persons in this
country who read the newspapers
who haven't heard at one time or
another of Mrs. "Jack" Gardner, the
eccentric Boston widow, and her ia.

ally. This palace, erected at great
cost in Back Bay Fens and known
as Fenway Court, is filled with rare
paintings and statuary and other
works of art that Mrs. Gardner col
lected in various parts of Europe,
but chiefly in Italy.
For years Mrs. Gardner has tried
to evade the payment of duties on
the art treasures that she has
brought to this country on the plea
that her home was a public museum,
works of art for exhibition purposes
being free.
During Leslie M. Shaw's admins
tration as secretary of the treasury
he proceeded against the 100000
Mrs. Gardner had deposited and
started proceedings to have it for
feited on the advice of Attorney
General Knox, that the museum was
not being used as a public exhibi-
tion.
Mr.. Shaw then gave Mrs. Gard
ner the choice of throwing open her
house to enable the, public to view
the art treasures without restric-
tions that were unreasonable or pay
ing 100000 duty, and she chose
the latter alternative.

Detecting Crime in Ethiopia.

The Ethiopian method of detecting
crime is quick and effective, and has
the great. advantage Of always catch
ing some one. A priest is called, and
by his exhortation, prayers, sorceries
and drugs-a youth is sent to sleep
with the command to dream. The
person he dreams of is the criminal.
No further proof is sought or needed.
The sanction of the church is quite
enough. ...E
If by chance the boy fails to dream
ne is promptly put to sleep again by
the same process until he does, SO
that he usually manages the affair In
a short time.-Pall Mall Gazette.

Poet of Mushrooms.

Corneille is known as the poet OF
many things, but it has required the
finding of a hitherto unknown MS.
at the Bibliotheque Rationale to re-
veal him as the poet of cooked mush-
rooms, which he apostrophizes as
GLORIOUS in their end if their origins
are obscure" He compares "its
white body and stem" to parasol,
relates it's "life," it's struggle with
the sum-" suggests its relish with
cream or mutton ragout, and declares
it's savory excellence as compared
with asparagus, truffles or artichokes.
The verse is not exactly that OF the
cid" or of 'Polyeucte," but 1t is

Ten years later Scene: re-
cepuion at Lady Frances Verner's.
Speakers: a we'll known dowager
and a nephew just returned from In
dia, whom she is lionizing:
Yes, Lady Frances is very hand
some, and has good deal of quiet
animation. She was the widow OF
that poor Deering of Denham, who
shot himself some years ago. That
stout, broad-shouldered man with the
blue ribbon is Admiral Werner, and
the pale, delicate looking lad-talk-
ing to Madame Ronika, the great vio'
linist-is young Deering, who writes
such beautiful poetry"
who is that distinguished looking
woman. the smaller of the two talk
ing to Admiral Werner? She has such
a sweet, pensive face, and great blue
eyes," d,
"Oh, you mean Mrs. Glynn. She
is greatly admired by artists and
those sort Of people. Her father
was murdered by the Indians, or the
Kaffirs; she was saved by Yankee
gold digger. He brought her up in
the Rocky Mountains among an aw-
fully lawless set of men. Then he
took her to Paris, and I believe she
was to come out as the daughter of
the Incas, in a ballot or some such
thing, when Glynn saw her and mar
ried her, which seemed rather idiotic.
However, old Lady Gethin recognized
her remarkable likeness to a dear
friend who married Gilbert Deering,
and whose daughter she proved to be.
Then they found the nurse to whom
the Yankee had given her, SO the
Deerings thought it best to come to
an amicable settlement. Lady
Frances keeps her dover, and young
Deering his estates. for his life; but
this charming Mrs. Glynn, or her son,
will succeed him. They are great
friends. What splendid diamonds
she has!"
"Well!" exclaimed the Indian
nephew, truth really is stranger
than fiction

RECREATION.
(Sapere Aude.)

Sing me a song of idleness,
Of drifting with the tide, 4. 3s
OF lolling in scented orchards - -
Or basking in meadows wide;
For God is in His sunshine
As well as the storm-wind's pride.
Sing me a song of blessedness,
Of dreaming the hours away,
Of hearing mystical measures az
Float through the chambers of day;
For God is in day-dream and music
AS well as if3s battle array, 81
I rest in the lap of His goodness i;
{ And cast off every care. & ~
Ny portion is not to labor, ~,
But His own joy to. share,
To bask in the smile of His beauty
And wait in silent prayer.
Oh, gently the emerald suring time
Creeps out of the death of SHOWS,
And out of her thorny timber u. -
Bursts forth the fuI-blown rose, q
And out from the throat of the song-bird
His perfect loye-song flows. .t(i
