Great Ingenuity Displayed in the Busi- ness—The Government's Detectives Are Pretty Sharp, Too—Some Favorite Meth- ods of Amuggling. In spite of the vigilance of customs in- spectors and the almost perfect working of the secret service, smuggling is continually carried on in some degree, and for ingenui- ty in ways that are dark and tricks not always vain the smuggler is an adept. Steamers from South America and the West Inc and tramp steamers bring in cigars, liquors and a great variety of mer- chandise not on the vessel’s manifest, which finally gets on the market without paying tribute tothe government, and probably never a great transatlantic liner arrived at this port that did not bring some goods which were smuggled through. The cases of smuggled English clothing on a Liver- pool steamer, when the fact was brought to light that for years London tailors had been evading American duties, will give some idea of what may still be going on undetected. The ingenuity of the smuggler is great. Some years ago, when the barge office was used asa landing place for cabin passen- gers, a custom house officer one day step- ped up to a respectable appearing, well dressed woman, who with her husband standing waiting to have her luggage mined, and requested her presence in the searching room. She carried a small traveling bag in her hand, and he made her bring that along too. She was of course indignant aud her husband uttered all sorts of threats against the officer for what he denounced as “this outrage.” CIGARS IN A DEAD HORSE. But the officer calmly opened the bag and took therefrom asoap box, and from the soap box a cake of soap. The cake of soap had been used, and looked like any other innocent piece of toilet soap. But when the officer cut it in two with his knife a nest of sp: ing diamonds of great beauty and value was disclosed in its i terior. How the customs officer knew t woman, t) traveling bag and that cake of soap is a mystery, but one no doubt sus- ceptible of ane solution if all the facts in the case were known. The secret service has its agents every- where, and the great trouble with women smugglers is that they will talk, especially when they have hit upon some particularly ingenous plan for smugglin metimes portly women will enter the seizure room to merge therefrom greatly emaciated, but leaving behind large quantities of valuable lace. The smokestacks of steamers from the West Indies have been known on several occasions to yield up many hundred dol- lars’ worth of cigars. In fact, the smoke- stac favorite place for hiding smug- gled goods. This sort of smuggling is done by the crew, who work under the double jisadvantage as a rule of having to evade the watchful eyes of both the officers of the steamer and the customs officers. Once a dead horse floated up on the beach at Coney Island. When people went to remove the carcass they found that the intestines had been removed and the inte- rior of the dead animal filled with Mavana cigars. The carcass and its cargo had prob- ably been thrown overboard from some steamer, and the confederates who were to have vowegthe argosy hore at some se- ead 7 connection. Do rom sho ace.
