15O EMPIRE
 GOWNS SEIZED
$50, ,OOO Worth of Emery in
 Three Struggled Trunks

New York, April 2.-The syndicate of dress and dress goods smugglers whose operations were interrupted by the ar rest of the baggageman accused of see ing that the unconsigned trunks were uncovered.
 The Red Star steamship Gothdand, which brought only steerage passeng- CTS from Antwerp, got here on March q with three trunks which the con- spira tors on the other side probably supposed would be taken away as us- CaI when they arrived here. It is said that there were certain marks Of identification" used by the syndicate on these trunks which correspond with the marks found on the trunk that was trolleyed from the Philadelphia to the Fed Star pier when the latter pier was .dead' and on the two trunks taken last week from the American line pier. The value of the goods found in these trunks seized earlier is put at $20. GOO. The value of the stuff in the three trunks brought in by the Gothland IS estimated at 5000 and it is the biggest seizure of it's kind in the history of the customs at this port.
 Customs experts who happened to wander into the seizure room in Wash ington street yesterday were dazzled by the fIneet array of Empire gowns that they had ever seen. An appraiser of fabrics of this sort said that at the lowest estimate they would foot up besides lot of lace and lingerie. If they had got by Uncle Sam's men he would ave been out 60 per cent. of their value, or $1S,0O0.

A Queer Battle,

A traveller ine South Africa tells of a singular combat that he witnessed. He was musing one morning with his eyes on the ground when he noticed a caterpillar crawling along at a rapid pace, followed by hundreds of small ants. Being quicker in their move ments, the ants would catch up with the caterpillar, and one would mount his back and bite him. Pausing, the caterpillar would turn his head and bite the ant and kill his tormentor After s1aughtering a dozen or more of his prosecutors the caterpillar showed signs of fatigue The ants made a combined attack. Betaking himself to a stalk of grass, the caterpillar climbed up tail first, followed by the ants. As one approached he seized it in his jaws and threw 1t of the stalk. The ants, seeing the caterpillar had too strong a position for them to over come. resorted to strategy. They be- gan saving through the grass stalk. In a few moments the stalk fell, and hundreds of ants bounced upon the caterpillar. It was killed at once.
