Upon their report the Commissioners will base their action in the disposition of the proposals recently received by them for col- lecting and disposing of garbage and all other city waste and refuse during the next five years. The Dixon crematory ts pro- posed to be used here by Mr. Z. F. McGill of Troy, N. Y., one of the bidders, and the lowest, if his bid be accepted by the Com- | missioners. For the sum of $100,000 per annum McGill agrees to collect and burn all waste and refuse, ashes being included as well as garbage, and says he is willing to give bond in any reasonable amount to secure the proper performance of his contract. —_—__.

IN THE OLD LONDON CUSTOM HOUSE Prevention of Smuggling Costs the Government a Pretty Penny. CIGARS FOR THE PRINCE Special Correspondence of The Evening Star. LONDON, April 18, 1900. If It were a favorite pastime with the American newspaper reader to p!od through the weighty reports of the various branches of the British government he might one day be astonished and pained by alighting on “Queen's pipe, $20,000." Probably his first sensation would be twofold, a mingling of regret at learning that her majesty was the victim of the to- bacco habit and of surprise that no attempt is made at hushing up the sad matter, in- stead of blazoning it forth as if it were a source of national pride. But his surprise over these two points would be a small thing beside that which he would feel upon rea‘izing the extent of the sum apparently exhausted in gratify- ing the queen's unfortunate appetite—$20,- 000 a year; if he looked again, to make sure, his bewilderment would only be in- creased by the discovery that this large sum was set down, not as an expense, but as a revenue, As a matter of fact, it is a revenue, and IN < a een i Ui Up ; it costs more in the ett than any other a the world, even if it is tobacco. A Carjonus Museum. As a result of ‘the sctivity of the “rum- magers,” the cu§tom “house has started a small museum, stocked, with various inge- nious devices that have been used by bold, bad smugglers, only to fall into the hands of her majesty’$ ferrets. This collection begins with an inndcent-looking scrubbing brush, but one that upon being lifted is curiously lacking, In weight. In truth, it is hollow, and when disgovered was stuffed with Cavendish. , Beside it is an accordion found full of cigats ingtead of music. Next comes a long cord, with cigars knotted in it. one about every fivp inches, which the hardy seaman had coiled around his body, and_cheek by jowl with this stands a de- mure clock, pointing to 3. This clock had tobacco works. An, apparently well- thumbed copy of “Pilgrim's Progress,” on being opened, reveals circular holes cut in Bunyan's text, wherein watches lay hidden in beds of cotton wool. A ponderous trea- tise on medicine contained, beside its Inval- uable preceps, certain shred tobacco, and more of the sime had been concealed from the gaze of the vulgar in a loaf of bread, whittled out inside so that nothing but the crust remained: A common keg sounder was hollow, too, and had held a good dram of brandy. Gourds are plentiful, and there was a soldfer’s canteen. furnished by her majesty, and used in trying to de- fraud her. The London Custom House. The custom house fs neither attractive In itself nor fortunate in {ts tecation, for it forms the center of one of the most un-, pieasant neighborhoods of London—reeking, vile smelling Billingsgate, the native heath of the fishmonger. At this point in its course the Thames becomes even muddier than ever, and is jammed with a motley throng of red sailed craft of every shape and hue. Upon the unlovely prospects thus furnished, afioat and ashore, the custom house looks out, low, old fashioned and grimy, as it has every right to be, for it is an old timer, even among London build- ings. Just around the corner is the monu- ment built in memory of the great fire, and at the top of the hill nearby is the little old Church of St. Dunstan's in the East, marking the spot where, it is told, the good = cre THE QUEEN'S PIPB. Bis that item of $20,000 doesn't mean that the Queen of England is either so luxurious or so energetic a smoker as the mention of this sum in connection with her “pipe’ would seem to indicate. Pipe Went Out Long Ago. Her majesty’s admirers may be of good cheer—her “pipe’’ has been out for forty years, although it can be seen yet by the curious. Few people do see it, however, and, beyond those who work around it, few even know where it Is. The queen’s pipe {s a mysterious old square furnace down in the underground recesses of the customs building In Billings- gate, on the Thames. Until about 1858 it used to be charged and lighted once a year. All the tobacco that unscrupulous folk at- tempted to bring into the kingdom without the formality of paying duty thereon, and which was pounced upon by her majesty's alert customs officials, was dumped into that furnace and a burnt offering made of it. The customs people of today sail “all with perfect gravity, and they shook their heads severely when I frivolously hinted that some “brands” occasionally might have been saved from the burning for the pri- vate delectation of their predecessors in office. There used to be some absurd old formal- ity that had to be gone through with when the tobacco was burned—just what, nobody now can tell; but the whole business was done away with long ago, and the captured “smoking mixtures,” which last year amounted to 6,115 pounds, are put to better use. Lunatics and bugs get the benefit of them. The first are in the government asylums for the criminal insane, the latter have their local habitations among the plants in the Royal Botanical and the Kew gardens. Neither the lunatics nor the bugs get cigars—these are sold at public auction in Mincing lane; but the best of the cap- tured smoking tobacco is served out to the inmates of the threa great British institu- tions mentioned. Why the criminal Insane are thus especially favored by the govern- ment could not be satisfactorily explained by the customs people with whom I talked, but they volunteered the information that the best of the tobacco was poor stuff, leay- ing the happy Inference that no one but a lunatic could be induced to smoke ft. As for the bugs, they are even less to be en- vied, for they get the tobacco that is re- garded as absolutely impossible from a smoker's viewpoint. That doesn't indicate any lack of courtesy on the part of the gov- ernment, for it doesn’t care very much about the bugs, anyway, and use this to- bacco only for the purpose of destroying them. Smuggied Tobacco. The greater part of all this tobacco, prac- tically the whole of it, in fact, comes from Holland and Germany, and is brought by the lowest class of common sailors, who try to “run” the tobacco, either for thelr own enjoy- ment on land, as a gift to friends, or to sell to small dealers, and it’s almost invariably of the poorest quality. The sailors’ methods of hiding the tobacco are frequently original and crafty, but the customs “rummagers,’ as they are called, have proved themselves even more astute, bringing the carefully se- creted stores to light with so much ease that the army of petty smugglers is grad- ually becoming discouraged. Of course, every one of the detected men 1s “brought up” and fined, and, while ten years ago the yearly bag of seafaring men with un- righteous proclivities used to be nearly 4,500, it has now shrunk to 2,200. Although $20,000 worth of tobacco is captured for “the queen's pipe,” the government doesn’t make much, Rg anything, out of the transac- tion, for it has to keep a perfect army of officials, boatmen, etc., to attend to the job of detection, 1,600 of them in all. Every ship that comes into England, no matter from what port she hails, or who is aboard of her, {s searched for smuggled tobacco and spirits, and the majority of the culprits are run to earth at Hull, Southampton, Folkestone, Gravesend and the other ports of merchantmen from the continent. Ships from America rarely offend in this direc- tion. ‘The customs “rummagers’” and their sturdy boats’ crews are stationed all along the tattered coastline, and no ship has more than anchored before they are a un- veiling the sanctity of the men's “sea chests,” poking under their bunks, and even probing the funnel and smokestacks, if the ship be a steamer, or rifling the cross-trees and crow’s nest, if the suspect is a sailing vessel, all these localities being frequently chosen by the erring salts to conceal their unlawful hoards. The searching operations are guided by reports received from the reg- ular detective force elled to the “rum- magers,” who have the delicate duty of mingling, with the sailors in their shore haunts, and 3 their secrets cut of them, all of which involves the double reflection that it not only takes a tremendous number of men to fill th queen's pipe, but that the lunatics and ‘bugs of jland are smoking tobacco that saint had his forge, ‘and being visited one day by the devil, twéaked the nose of the unclean spirit between the teeth of a noble pair of pinchers, until the evil one screamed. for mercy. The custom house was destroyed in the fire, and the present: building is the work of Sir Christopher Wren himself. The old building sheltered a king’s pipe, and of this the present queen's ‘pipe is @ duplicate. Visitors to the custom house are first con- ducted solemnly out upon the terrace to survey the Thames, and then taken into the long room, where $50,000,000 a year is paid in the shape of duties, more than at all the other British seaports put. together. It is in this room that a small comedy has recently been enacted by a whole swarm of impatient importers, who foresaw financial losses of great magnitude in a little clog- ging of the customs wheel, a clogging by the way, deliberately planned by the gov- ernment for their discomfiture. When Sir Michael Hicks-Beach announced his plans for meeting the expenses of the Boer war in the commons and mentioned an increase in the duty on tea and several other imported things, the importers there- of were not slow to realize that it behooved them to race their respective wares through the custome before the new statute went into effect, and they one and all made a feverish descent upon the custom house. Sir Michael, however, had anticipated their efforts and had uncharitably issued instruc- tions that no addition should be made to the force of clerks crdinarily told off to attend to this business. In consequence the long room was s00n the scene of de- cided activity, so decided that a man had kis leg broken in the scrimmage. The Queen's Pipe. The famous queen’s pipe is buried down in the catacombs of the custom house, 1eached by an uncanny winding staircase, and generally known as her majesty’s ware- house. Here are kept all the confiscated goods, and those in bond, various ship- ments addres3ed to ambassadors, all of which come in free, and, what also escapes all duty, the queen's Wines, for use at Windsor. When the writer was there the other day they were just preparing for the reception of one hundred cases of French champagne for her majesty’s household. As for the queen’s pipe—the furnace which has burnt up so many a hundred weight of the filthy, but soothing, weed—it is anything but imposing in appearance, being a squat stone oven about four feet high. Long familiarity with it has bred contempt for the venerable institution in the breast of the custom house employes, and it is now used by them for burning old papers and general rubbish. Meanwhile the amount of tobacco im- ported into the United Kingdom every year is increasing by leaps and bounds, most of it coming from America, too. Although England is generally thought of as the home of the pipe smoker, it is stated by a leading firm of tobacconists that cigars and cigarettes are in far greater demand than smoking tobacco. Havana cigars still have the call, in spite of efforts at com- petition. Cigarettes are more popular in the race for favor, and here, too, the Amer- ican produce leaves its Egyptian and Turk- ish brethren far in the rear. In spite of their gold tips the popularity of the Vir- ginia “coffin nail” is, steadily increasing. The Prince as a Smoker. The Prince of Wales {s an inveterate smoker. The cigar ts his solace—of a spe- cial Havana brand made particularly for him and costing about a dollar each. His royal mother abominates tobacco, as did his father, the Prince Regent, and it is re- lated that, when the heir apparent, as a boy, first tasted the joys of the weed he thought it discreet to do so in the seclu- sion of the royal stables, Lord Salisbury Is ‘at one with his sover- eign in detesting the smell of tobacco smoke. A story has been going the round on the subject of this antipathy of the Premier. Almost every one who visits Lord Salisbury at his home knows that to- bacco is tabooed, but a young man who was recently feceivéd there for the first time did not. | While sitting in his room in the afternoon edna lighted a cigar and proceeded to erifoy it and others, with- out the remotest idea that he was commit- ting positive sacrilege against his hest's strongest whim. He heard steps coming along the hall, light steps, like those of a woman, and then heavier ones, unmistak- ably those of Lord Salisbury. Then he heard the niece of the marquis say: ““W1 what is that very curious smell?" ‘There was an ominous silence, then the premier roared out: ‘Nothing ‘at all, my dear, nothing of importance—only tobacco!” MARSHALL LORD. — FINANCIAL.

The demand for zinc ore im the past two weeks Inexents a decidedly flattering outlook for the zinc mining industry in the Missouri-Kansas district. Prices for ore have advanced, land is steadily ris- ing in value, and the railroads are opening up new Ines to reach all parte of the mining region. As already seven-elgiiths of all the zine mined in the United States comes from the Missouri-Kansas zine fields, this fact is drawing European investors to the Joplin district. An English syndicate has lately been securing much of the available wining Jond, and will organize a company with a paid-up capital of $17,600,000. The International Zinc Company early foresnw the eager demand there would be for mining prop- erty, and fortunately secured about 200 acres of the richest zinc land in the very center of the min- ing belt. The work of the company thus far fully cor- roborates the testimoay of emjuent experts and competent mining engineers, that the Missonr!- Kansas zinc fields are the most prolitic zine-produc- ing properties in the world. and that the ore grows richer to the depth of 1,100 feet, atid eaunot be ex- havsted for scores of years. In view of these facts the International Zinz Company stands as one of the most inviting and Profitable mediums for a sufe and permanent invest- ment ever before the public. When we consider that 90 per cent of the zinc- mining enterprises in the Joplin district are suc- cesses, and that this company ts one of the most careful and conservative. and therefore one of the most auccessful, paying 12 per cent dividends, with @ board of officers and directors whose bonesty, integrity and business ability stand above criticism, ‘Now is the time to buy the best we can recommend the Intermmtional Zinc Company most profitable investment, with every aswur- ance that ite shares will soon advance to many times their present price. ‘The company’s earnings are certified to quarterly by a FIRM OF CHARTERED ACOOUNTANTS OF INTERNATIONAL REPUTATION, who Inspect the docks and work of the company, thas safeguarding every sbarebolder.
