How Uncle Sam s Defranded Ont of Large Revennes, A Bpecial Treasury Agent Discloses the Secrot of Custom Du- ties Evasions! New York Worl!, ““Now is the time we have to keep our eyes open,” said a prominent member of Captain Brackett's staff of custon-house detectives to a reporter of the World yosterday. “‘All the way birds of fush- ion who spend the summer abroad are on the wing for home, and if they can slip in even a few yards of costly lace with- out paying duty it would save them the expenses of their trip,” “Do ladies engage in amateur smug- gling?” “All of them don't, and some are so over-conscientious that they even offer to pay duty on non-dutiable goods. But human nature is the same, whether it isa fashionable dressmaker or the wife of a prominent clergyman, like the one who had 20 yards of fine Valenciennes lace: tacked in her petticont. 1 cannot give you her name for publication, for no pro- ceedings wore taken against her except to have the lace removed from the garment and sent to the public stores, from which her husband afterwards obtained it by paying $4 a yard duty. HAre the ladies cunning in the devices they adopti"” **Their ingenuity is unbounded. Take, for instance, the case of Mme. Leone, the fashionable modiste, who was arrested for smuggling some time ago. She declared that she was an actress and that the dresses wl she attempted to pass through without paying duty formed her theatrical wardrobe and were entitled to be sent free under the section relating to tools of trade. She showed a contruct in which she was engaged to perform the leading female roles inanumber of plays, On the trinl this contruct was proved to be a foreery. “Ladies ~ will bring over sealskin sacques in the middle of summer and wear them when the themometer is in the nineties, siniply to be able to swear that they have been worn. T remember alady who worea brand new camel's- hair shawl valued at §2,600. In her trunk was another shawl of the samo ma- terial, worth about $500.—She claimed to own both of them, but the dearer one was confiscated and never afterwards call- ed for. It was subsequently ascertained that the person who had given her the commission had made her a present of the cheaper shawl with the understand- ing that she wus to get the other une through free. “*Auother device of the ladies is to fold new dresses inside of their old ones, and 1t takes an experienced eye to detect the traud, In one case a lady covered a 8500 Waorth dress with an ordinary calico srapper much the worse forwear, T knew that she was too aristocratic to wear any- thing s0 huwbie us caico, and thus awakened my suspicions, Had shetaken one of her ordinary wearing dresses in- stead of her worvaut’s the fraud might have been successful. Some ladies do not hesitato to resort to trunks with alse hottoms. Onotrunk in particular had fulse sides as well, and when I pulled 0.00“1‘[‘,’ of screws out 1t all came to pieces. NO ARRESTS MADE, ‘Do you gver wirest the ‘ladies whom you eatch i the attémpt to smugglel’” “No. The inly cano of arrest that I remember is that of Mme, Leone, We are contenred o contiscate the goods, We sond the articles to the public store, and the owners can obtain them either by paying duty on them, or proving under oath that no duty is dur. ~ We tuke that ocuvurse even in cases of suspicion, and I admit that innocent passengors sometimes suffor delay und hardslnp on this account, Wo must be extra cautious or Uncle Sam's revenue would be_seriously dimin- ished.

That clamp was tened to a man's boot after the leather lieel of the latter had been removed. U'hen this iron heel was tilled with dia- monds and screwed to the clamp. The hape and color mie exactly like that of a1 ordinary heel, and were it not that the smuggler's nervousness betrayed him, he wight have defruuded the government out of about £5,000 in duty. DECEPTION IN CIGARS, ““Another case happened on board one of the Havana steamers, I was lookin, for smuggled cigars, and having, as thought, satisfied myself that there were none on board, was about to leave, when I noticed that the cleat of the window of the barber-shop, which was on the uJ)par deck, was a trifle loose, I caught hold of it and pulled, the panel came out, to my great surprise, revealing an aperture about three feet high and one foot in depth, and running along the whole width below the window. This apace was filled with boxes of tho choicest cigars, After my men had seized them the burber and the stoward of the vessel mysterioualy disappeared, and have not shown up around the ship again.” **Did not the captaia know of this?" “No, from his explanation I felt con- vinced that the smuggling was being done entiiely without tus know ledge, Ho had 60 men i his crow and only one pair gf atch them while they were watching hin T'wish I could say that Jl captains of inbound vessels aro as in- it of complicity in smuggling as this particular cne w Other favorite methods of smuggling in cigars are to pack them in the itre of barrels of oranges or in betwaen baskets of bananas and other fruits,"” “In it not risky to have a man searched unless you have good cause for suspi- cion?” Mhere's no pecuniary risk, but you are liable to discharge from the service on complaints made by the innocent suf- ferers. We must useour best judgment, and oven then wo are sometimes put on the right track by mere luck. I remember one day searching an Englishman, who was highly indignant when nothing was found upon him. We told him that he had been pointed out to us as having smuggled articles in his pos- session, “‘I know who told you," he ex- claimed, in his broad dialect, He men- tioned the name of a fellow-passenger, and added that he had shown some atten- tions to the passengers wife on the way over. ‘That had,’ he said, arous husband!s jealousy, and he must have nounced him for revenge, ‘I'll get even with him," he added, ‘he's gota lot of jewelry secreted in a trunk, He told me 8o himself. Now, T'll walk up to him and shake him by the hand, and then you'll know who he is." Now, as a mat- ter of fact, the Englishman had not been denounced by the person he mentioned, but it was all the same to us, We found the jewelry and confiscated it.” e — Another Life Saved, Mrs. Harriot Cummings, Cincinnati, Ohio, writes: Early lnst winter my daughter was attacked with a severe cold which setv.ed on her lungs, We tried noveral mediciyes, none of which seeted to do her any good, but she contiuued to get worse, and finully cafled in » famil shysician, but he fuiled to do her We then ¢ . who had been cured b, BALSAM FOR THE LU tovive ita trid.

He picked up a big codtish scornfully and said: ‘Now, that's a protty thing to offer a man; it's just a mess of strings that nobody can chew.” And to chaff me still further, he said in a sort of jocular way: ‘You ought to hire a boy tochew that fish for your customers,” 1 got an idea from that, and befare night I had a grindlng machine, and next morning 1 putoutsign, ““Condensed Cod- fish.” Everybody wondered what that wus, and most of them bought some to try.

"The wood is first im- mersed ior three or four days, according to its permcability, in a caustic alkaline lye (calcareous soda) at a temperature of from 76 to 90 degrees. From thence it passes immediately into a bath of hydro- sulphite of calcium, to which is added after 24 or 36 hours a concentrated solu- tion of sulphur in caustic potash. The duration of this bath is abut 48 hours and its temperature i X Finally the wood is immersed for 30 or 40 hours in a hot solution 85 to 50 deg. of acentato of lead, The process, as may be seen, is » long one, but the results are surprising. The wood thus prepared, aftor having undergone a proper drying at a moderate temperatura, acquires un- der a burnisher of hard wood a polished surfaco and assumes a very brilliant me- tulic lustre. This lustre is still further increased if the surfaco of the wood be firat rubbed with & piece of lead, tin or zine, and be afterward polished with a glass ar porcolain hurnin‘um The wood thus asuines the appearance of a true me- talic mirror, and is very solid and re- sistant, Beautiful skin, and fair complexion, ro- bust health, and powers of endurance fol- low the use of Brown's Iron Bitters. Not Afraid of Shadows, Indianapolis Times (Rep.). The United States has a set of chronic would-be wise men-who see danger to the government in every meusure proposed. This class ave now busily engaged in sending forth dismal croakings about the danger that political corruption and eventual overthrow of the government will follow a postal telegraph. They see in every operator a bloody-minded con- spirator. These croskers are narrow- minded, {uudicud fellows, who can sce mothing but evil in everyone but them- selves. It is pretty safe to conclude that & man who is nl\uil suspicious of every body is judging others by what he know he would be under like circumatances. BMUGGLING ON THE BORDER, How the Tariff Luws are Evaded Along t Floating Kerosene Oil e Niagara River— to Canada, The subject of smuggling has been of unusual interest this summer, says the Butfalo Express. Its political teatures have becowo more prominent on buth sides of the border. Custom-house offi- cials profess to believe that the otfense 18 not increasing. Well-informed detec- tives aver that the systems of smuggling hus become about perfe According to their statements it takes on new phases from year to year, hut the general uspect is unchanged, Kerosene oil is taken across Niuugara river every night in enor- mous quantities, Buteer, spirituous li- quors, and silks come juse as steadily trom that side to this market. These are the staples of the winugling business here, Botween Ve mont aud Canada there is probably more fraud with respect o liquor thun uny | other article. 1here are clubs, weathy | citizens and scores of dealers who obtaim | 1egular supplies of Montreal brandies, wines and wishies free of duty by means f the professional smuggler, i return the Cauadians are furmshed wich stylish ash” jewelry and anany other arti- cles, for the manufacture of which the Yankees have superior faciities. Next to the Niagara comes the Detroit river m atfording opporcunity for evading the customs regulations, The traftle curried ou in the viciuity of Detroit 1s fully as diversitied as in either of the other sec- tions, A trip across Niagara river in a row- boat tukes about halt an hour. A couple of men fawiliar with the lauding places can make four or five runs bevween Black Rock and Fort Erie easily in the course of a night. A yawl or clinker will carry five or six hundred pounds of but- ter, and as there s o duty of 4 cents a pound on this article in addition to the entry fee, it is geadily seen that high wages muy be earne There is little or no danger of de the river being almost entirely unguarded. The few officers employed in this district are chietly engaged in the daytime on the traius and pussenger boats. ~ The propor- tion of smugyl ng in these regular chun- nels of trade is very small, It is un- questionable that where $1 worth of goods is brought over surreptitiously by train or steamer, $1,000 worth is brought across the river in small boats under cover o darkness. Not less than fifty night watchmen would be required to repress smuggling along the frontier line from Lewiston of Niagara Falls southward to Buffulo, Hamburg, and Dunkirk," Residents of Fort Ere allege that a dozen or a score of barrels of keroseuw are frequently seen lying in the woods south of the old fort. The popular method of getting this product across the river is to place the barrels in the water and have a batch of them fastened to- gether by means of ropes, when they are taken in tow by a boatman and hauled to the Canudian shore. The saacity displayed u this plan commends itself at once. The tow line may be ten or hfteen rods in length, and shouid the smuggler be apprehended while en route he has only to let go o it and the proof of his guilt vanishes down stream, sides, the barrels ure self sustaini the river, whereas they would prove very cumbersome in the small boats which are reguired iu the smuggling business. The duty on kerosene at Cauvadian points is 7§ cents per gullon, or over $3 per bar- rel. The man who takes a tow of adozen barrels across the river has eained in an hour a salary for which many a physician, lawyer or journulist toils a whole week, With almost perfect immunity from de- tection, is it any wonder that smuggling flourishes as a profession and has become thoroughly systewized? Lt is not the in- tention to reflect unfavorably upon the officials. he force of detectives and in- spectors in this district were greatly di- winished during Hays’ term at the truins, the steamers, and the inter- national bridges, the idea being that the amount of gouds recovered was not suf- ficient to jusufy the expense of night watchmen, The authorities evidently did not realize that the existence of such a force deterred scores of persous from engaging in the business of swuggling, The Canad on government now euploys a ladv decetive for the port of Fort Ere, Her principle duties are to search women who are suspected of having valubles concealed in their clothig. She has taken goods from several, aud this form of smugyling is being checked. It is related that one of the customs officers a Victoria paid $80 recently on a quantiy of silver waro which was o wed- ing present from relatives, The goods had been smuggled from Buffalo, and the fact having become neighborhood gossip the offivial was called upon to pay duty. Fort Erie has ever been a viritable smugglers’ paradise. A prominent Canadian custom-house detective died suddenly of heart disease there last win- ter, just as ho had completed a chain of evidunce against a number of citizens, All of these cases were settled, however, by payment of money to the government. A wealthy merchant was muleted in the sum of 8500, the allegations against him being of a highly seusational character. It was shown then that smuggling and politics were considerably mixed up in the Dominion. Some of the more no- torious smugglers are liberal contributers to the campaign funds of the conservative party, which new has dominance and ap- points the customs officers in that coun- try. This class enjoy a degree of immu- nity which would be wonderful but for the knowledge of their political relation- ship, Whenever an agitation of the sub- Jjuct arises a few of the leaders are fined und a decided stir is made in searching the insigniticant pilferers who infest the trains and ferry-boats, but no attempt is ever made to go to the root of the evil, While the surreptitous traffic in kerosene is known to all men and is making doz- ens wealthy, a prosecution in this particu- | lur line seldom occurs, The advocates of | free wade on both sides of the border find | |un excellent argument in the smuggling Be- | suffer, Great islhcgwowcr of malaria, Mischievous Malaria.
