COSTLY NECKLACE.

A pearl necklace worth $4,000 has
cost Mrs. Ada F. G.. Adriance, Of
Poughkeepsie, n. Y. more than s25.-
600 because she attempted to smuggle
it into the country on her return from
Europe last August. The terms Of the
settlement in the. case were announced
yesterday by William Loeb, jr., collec-
tor OF the port of New York
Mrs. Adriance made no mention OF
the necklace in her declaration. The
customs examiners were suspicious and
her clothing was searched. The neck
lace was found concealed in the lining
of her hat. It and some articles OF
clothing not mentioned in the declara-
ton were seized and Mrs. Adriance was
indicted for smuggling. She pleaded
guilty and was fined $4,000.
To regain her necklace Mrs. Adriance
was compelled 10 pay the full foreign
value of the jewels, about $4,000, be-
sides the duty, which was about 1900
more. These amounts, with the S.
600 originally paid for the necklace,
the S., 900 fine and counsel fees make
the total cost of the necklace more
than $50, 900.
Mrs. Theodore P. Shonts, wife OF the
president of the Interborough Rapid
Transit Company, from whom jewels
worth $50, 900 were taken when she ar
rived from Europe last week, was too
i'll to appear for hearing yesterday.
Mr.. Shonts told Collector Loeb that his
wife did not believe the gems we're duti-
able, because she obtained them in ex-
change for other articles OF hers on
which she had once paid duty. Collec-
tor Loeb told Mr.. Shonts he would

PLATFORM OF THE CORKING-
TIME PARTY

The Gridiron Playhouse" contains
the following parody on political plat
forms:
Tie Corking-Time party, consecrated
as it is to the rights OF the people, an
nounces it platform as follows:
l. We denounce the corruption,
selfish greed and imbecility Of all other
political parties. They are fostering
sore; and we are the only genuine article
that can cure it. We point with pride
to What We are going to do.
2. We favor the working man,
while we extend our sympathy to the
man who doesn't work. We want the
votes of both.
3. We favor such an adjustment
between union men, non-union men,
and their employers as shall result in
the highest wages aud in profit to ali
employers who shall subscribe to our
campaign fund.
4. We are always in favor of tariff
revision. We denounce monopoly, and
we insist that IL tariff law should be So
arranged as to protect our industries,
abolish custom houses, prevent SNUG
Cling by women and ministers. and
diffuse prosperity throughout tho coun-
try. To this end we favor high duties
in all manufacturing districts, aud a
tariff for revenue only in those locali.
ties where the democratic party has
been in the habit of rolling up maiori-
ties.
5. We are firm in our stand in re-
gard to the liquor traffic. We believe
that the sale should be so regulated rs
to satisfy each and every enc. Local
option and prohibition should be ar
ranged on scale that will permit the
honest worker to enjoy his Saturday
nights and be out as late as usual, and
at the same time sustain che cause OF
temperance in our midst.
6. Upon the subjects Of civil SER
vice reform, the long and short haul,
the management Of our penitentiaries
and compulsory vaccination, we follow
the sage advice Of the late Thomas
Jefferson TO the effect that humanity is
governed too much. We promise to
enact suitable legislation that shall have
the result Of Withdrawing forthwith
these and similar topics from discus
sion in the columns Of the yellow
journals.
Z. We believe that every horny
handed son OF toll is entitled to re-
served seat, well to the front, at all
public entertainments, without extra
charge; and we pledge ourselves to &C.
complish this greatly needed reform by
all honorable methods.
8. Whereas q highminded ond fear.
less judiciary is the bulwark OF our free
institutions, We hold that no idiot, jack
ass or crook should occupy seat upon
the bench; and whenever a judicial de-
cision or utterance should prove to be
not entirely agreeable to a Corking-
Timer, the offending judge will have to
step down and out, whereupon o de-
cent man, worth his salt, who will
reflect the opinion OF the appointing
power, shall succeed to the job.
9. Finally, We demand that the
will and the wishes of our chosen exec
utive shall, at his pleasure and dicta-
ton. supersede any and all laws and
Regulations, state or national.

OLD TIME MANNERS.
Rules of Good Behavior In the Early
Eighteenth Century.

In a work entitled Youths Bella
vior,' published in l706, there is this
injunction to young gentlemen, Put
off thy Cap or Hat To persons of Desert
as are Churchmen. Justices and the
like, turning the Cap or Hat to thy
STEWARDS; making Il Reverence. bow
ing thySelf more or less according to
the custom of the better bred"
In the midst Of remarks which indi-
cate the utmost refinement we come
suddenly upon such directions as this:
"'Tis not manners as soon as you
are set ut Table to bawl out, L eat
none of this. | eat none of that, / care
for no Rabbit; i love nothing that
tastes OF Pepper, Nutmeg. Onyons.'
etc.
After stating that 'some have been
so refined in Foreign parts that they
will neither be covered nor sit with
their backs to the picture of an emf
nent Person. the writer goes on to
remark that there are some who eat
with that eagerness and Impotence,
they eat themselves out Of breath and
will pant like broken winded Horse
but these are not TO be injured"
He also warns his pupil thus:
"When you are talking to any one do
not Continually punch him in the side.
as some people do; who. after every
sentence keep asking the person they
are cOnverSing with. Did l not tell
r"u so: What say you. sir?' and in

Do not give the colts any dusty food,
and see to it that they do not become
constipated. Linseed meal. roots, corn

to keep the youngster growing and to

A HENRY CLAY STORY.
Fate Of the Resolution instrueting Him
How TO Vote.

Fate Of the Resolution instructing Him
How TO Vote.
Adal Stevenson In Something of
Men Have Known" commenting on
Henry Clay. tells this anecdote:
Possibly since the foundation OF the
government no statesman has been so
completely idolized by his friends and
party as was Henry Clay. Words are
meaningless when the attempt is made
TO express the idolatry of the Wings
of his own state for their great chief
tain. For lifetime he knew no rival
His wish was law to his followers.
In the realm OF party leadership a
greater than he hath not appeared. At
his last defeat for the presidency
strong men wept bitter tears. When
his star set 1t was felt to be the sig.
nal for the dissolution OF the great
party OF which he was the founder.
In words worthy to be recalled, when
the tidings came like wailing over the
state that Harry Percy's spur was
cold the chivalrous felt somehow the
world had grown commonplace"
The following incident along the line
indicated may be considered charac-
teristic. While Mr.. Clay was a sena-
tor n resolution, in accordance with 4
some time custom, was introduced
into the Kentucky house OF represent
atives instructing the senator's from
that state to vote in favor of a certain
bill then pending in congress. The
resolution was in the act of passing
without opposition when hitherto
silent member from one of the noun
tain counties, springing to his feet
exclaimed, MIR. Speaker, am l to un
derstand that this legislature is under
taking to tell Henry Clay how tC
voteT The speaker answered tina
such was the purport OF the resolution
AT which the member from the noun
tains, throwing up his arms, exclaim
ed, Great heaven!' and sank into hi
seat. 1t is needless to add that tn,
resolution was Immediately rejecte,
by unanimous vote.
