Though the elephants have occupied
adjoining pens, big steel barred renee

TIDESMEN LIVED IN
ROLLICKING DAYS
Customs Inspectors of Merry
England Occupied Danger
Gus Positions

OF the many types identified with a
picturesque yet lawless past there were
none whose duties were more typical
of the spirit of the time than the tides
men. When the annual customs re-
turns are presented to an expectant
nation. few give a thought to the men
who bore the heat and burden OF the
day at time when the gathering IN
of customs was hazardous task. True,
the tidesman has been deposed by
more imposing official, who faces none
Of his dangers but the tidesman
stands for the rollicking. roaring days,
when smuggIers held sway and to put
out 10 sea was a great adventure
The tidesmen consisted OF Two
classes, preferable" and "eXtraor-
dinary." They were stationed at the
various ports. and their duties con-
sisted in boarding foreign vessels ana
staying aboard to keep watch until
these vessels were cleared. The pre-
ferahle" men were in the nature of
permanent officials, and were stationed
at the more important points. such as
Gravesend and the custom house it
self while the extraordinary were
engaged from day to day, and were
employed on the more laborious and
hazardous tasks, says the London
Globe.
a
troller in Scotland, referring to the
people of Montrose, contains the fol-
lowing significant passages: Our
tidesmen are so terrified to go on duty
al that place for the insults given them
by the inhabitants that unless some
troops be quartered in that town there
is no preventing their continued prac-
tice Of smuggling at the very shore"
That this practice was very popular is
evident from the records Of the time.
In fact, smuggling was one Of the chief
industries of the people who dwelt
round the coast.
The south coast was especially noted
for this Illicit trade, and the smugglers
OF Kent and Sussex were the most for
the Hawkhurst gang was known from
Lands End to John o. Groats. One OF
their leaders, Arthur Grey, was
a sea cock" OF some consequence, and
reputed to be worth many thousands
Of pounds. He built a huge warehouse
on Seacox Heath in Kent, where he was
| wont to store smuggied goods, un-
| troubled by the revenue authorities.
The impunity with which the snug
| glers were allowed to carry on their
! Illicit trade is explained by the fact
/ that the magistrates around the coast
were personally interested in the trade
| Moreover. the clerk and sexton OF the
/ village church lent their aid. Many a
vault or vestry were utilized for stor-

| OF the parsons inclined to be inqufsi-

supply of excellent spirits and a large
/ quantity of full favored tobacco.
There is a story of a south country
parson who was delivering an eloquent

word arrived that a foreign vessel had

TAX ON ALL TOURISTS
IS PROPOSED PLAN
Guests Who Try Mineral Cure
Must Pay Assessment

The annual report of the chamber Of
commerce for wiesbaden states that
SO hotels and restaurants there failed
last year Among these were some Of
the largest and most modern hotels,
equipped in magnificent style. The
sharp competition existing among
these estsblishrn the heavily in
creased cost in maintaining them and
the general unfavorable economic con-
ditions are given as the chief causes of
these failures.
The guests. who come for q cure by
means of the well known mineral
waters. have not increased in number,
nor has their expenditure of money
counterba lanced the increased number
Of hotels and restaurants and the en-
hanced' costs in taxes, food and mate
rial. wa ges, etc. The city having made
heavy outlsys for public improvements,
and projecting additional ones. to at
tract foreign visitors. has ordered a
general tax according 10 which even
tourists who DO not use the waters
must now pay il they extend their
stay beyond two days.
Baden Baden has recently adopted a
similar ordinance for taxing tourists.
This innovst tion is TO procure addi-
tional revenue to meet the increasing
municipal needs.
