Although as demure In appearance as
any other woman passenger on the savole,
OF the French line that came in from
Havre last week, Miss Matilda Spiegel, a
milliner, who said her place Of business
was in Fifth avenue, was found to be d
much befeathered young woman after a
search by customs officers on the pier.
There was something in the appearance
of Miss Spiegels picture hat that first
excited the suspicious of an Inspector, who
reported the fact to Deputy Surveyor John
Raczievicz.
The lining Of Miss spiegel's hat was
opened and out fell several OF the finest
plumes that have been brought in fol-
many a day. More were taken from her
coat, and as the men inspectors had done
as much as they could to assist the gov.
eminent to collect the proper duty, Miss
Spiegl was taken in hand by women In.
spectors and searched in a stateroom on
board the Savoie.
There were feathers In her waist and
folds of her Paris-made gown and even
feathers in her stockings. A facetious
Inspector said that from all accounts tht
young woman was fully prepared to fly
from the pier as quickly as her baggage
was examined. Deputy Surveyor Raczle,
Vicz decided that Miss Spiegl would have
to settle the matter with the collector OIL
the port and seized the feathers and
plumeS which were casually valued at $500

Grateful Southern View of Rockefel-
 Ier's Gift.

We do not undertake to inquire into the means by which he has built up the greatest corporation in the world. That is a matter concerning which there have been years of discussion and about which there is much difference of opinion. At present we wish sim ply to call attention to the fact that Mir Rockefeller is evidently trying to make the very possible use of his wealth-is trying, in fact, in many ways, to contribute to the welfare and happiness of his fellow men. There fore though we may condemn Rocke- feller's wealth-accumuiating methods, we cannot avoid admiraing and com mending him for the uses to which he puts his money.
 If what Dr. Stiles and other eminent physicians say in respect to the hook worm disease is true and we have no reason to doubt that it is. the destruc- tion of that disease will be an inesti- mable boon to the great multitude of people who are suffering from 1t and to the section in which they live. From shiftless and practically no account be- ings. without ambition aor air or pur- pose in life, they will be transformed into active. vigorous, happy and pros porous people eager to be a part of the worlds affairs, and of real value as cit izens of their respective communities
 With the disappearance of the, dis case tho 2,000, ,000 of people in the south who are now afflicted with it will be- come d new force. and every year the increase of the contribution to the up- building of their section will be worth far more than the amount given by MT.
