OPIUM SMUGGLERS' TRICKS. They Swindle Each Other at Well as the Government. The opium smuggling business, for which Puget Sound is notorious, is de veloping the best talent of all the swindlers on the North Pacific coast. The smugglers, in their plans to trick tho custom house officers and each other, are adding to the devices that Yankee ingenuity can devise those that Chinese cunning can contrive. The opium is prepared for smoking in Vic toria, and from there smuggled into the Puget Sound district by carriers through tho dense woods, or by boats which run across the line under cover of the night. Not a little opium is brought in on the regular steamers. Recently tho custom houso officers have seized a number of trunks contain ing what were supposed to be packages of opium, but the tests have disclosed the fact that the smuggler has himself been tricked into buying cans of saw dust and molasses, for which ho has paid the price of regular opium. This method of cheating the smugglers is just now very popular with the Chinese of Victoria, who prepare most of the opium for smoking. Now and then a smuggler, when closely pressed by the customs inspec tors, will drop his cargo overboard and try to fish it up afterward. The other day a fisherman, who was fishing for tomcod from one of the wharves hero caught something very heavy on his lino. lie tugged away for five minutes, and finally disentangled and brought to tho surface a package of ten five tael opium cans, bound together by a heavy cord. The cans contained the genuino drug, somewhat injured by water. The biggest swindle that an opium handler ever has devised in this part of the country has recently come to light. About a year ago tho Halcyon, a trim, black-bodied, slender-sparred schooner, started out from Victoria for Asia, and it was whispered around that she had gone to get a cargo of opium. Upon her return, however, her cargo was found to consist of ballast. The sup position then was that her opium had been "transferred," as they say, at Honolulu. Tho truth is, however, that she had on board eighty thousand dol lars' worth of opium, which was con ccaled on Maui island until a more con venient time should arrive for bringing it into port EATS GRASS AND CACTI. CLUB SERVANTS. Thousands of Thom Employed In Now York City Social Organizations Which Employ an Army of People to Attend to Their Varloni Wants Tho Lead ing Club. A Wild Woman Who In Said to Ilrows. In the Texan Meadows. A young farmer named Martin living near Georgetown, Tex., recently had an exciting encounter with a mysterious wild woman who has been terrorizing tho people in the vicinity of Oeorge town for some time past. Martin lives in tho San Gabriel river bottoms, and after a day's labor in his cotton field started homeward. lie was crossing a stretch of dense woodland near tho river when he suddenly camo upon tho strange creature which has stirred up this community. The woman was en tirely devoid of clothing and was down on all fours greedily devouring the ten der grass and cactus buds. Martin watched her from behind a clump of bushes for a few minutes mid finally decided to attempt her capture, lie had IV stout twine string in his pocket with which ho expected to bind her hands securely. Having laid his plans ho orept stealthily up behind the woman. He made a spring for her and grabbed her by tho foot. The wild ereaturo, upon being taken by surprise, went into a terrdile rnge and fought liko a .lemon. According to Martin's story in the San Francisco Kxainincr, the battlo was a terrible ono while it lasted, lie bears deep wounds on his face and arms, which he claims were caused by tho woman's teeth and linger nails. She made no outcry during the encoun ter, nnd after freeing herself she darted into the underbrush. .Marlins descrip tion of tho strange woman tallies with that given by the various reliable, citi xctis of this place who saw her in tho same neighborhood previously. She is of splendid form, about nine teen years of age, and hashing raven black hair, which is badly matted and tangled, giving her a weird appearance. There are a number of spacious caverns along the San Gabriel river, and it is believed that the woman makes her home in one of these caves. When seen by William Sellers nnd another boy she was in the woods feeding on grass. Malls In Karly Days. ' Boston's first newspaper, the News Letter, contains the following adver tisement, which is an exact copy of the original spelling, capitalization, etc.: "Uy order of the Postmaster General of North America: These are to give No tice, That on Monday night, the Sixth of this instant, December, the Western Post, Between lloston nnd New York, set out at once a Fortnight the Three Winter Months of December, January and February, and to go Alternately from Uoston to Snybrook and Hartford to Exchange the Mayles of letters with the New York Iiyderon Saturday night the 11th Currant. And the second turn He sets out at lloston on Monday Night the SOth Currant to meet the New York Eyder at Hartford on Saturday night the 85th Currant to exchange Mayles. And all persons that send Letters from Boston to Connecticut from and after the loth Instant are Hereby Notified to first pay the Post-rates oo tho same." If the servants and employes of any one of the big clubs in this town were marched in dress parade the array would be a decidedly imposing one. and the size of tho small army would sur prise anybody who had not had occasion to become familiar with the workings of the larger New York clubs, says the New York World. Tho Manhattan Ath letic club probably heads 1 1 1 list of local clubs or Amcrkau clubs, for that mat ter in the number of people who wear its livery, or at least ('raw money from its treasury for attending to tho wants of its members. .More than two hun dred men, women and boys are regular ly employed in one capacity or another in the big Manhattan Athletic, club house, and at times the attaches of the club house number as high as two hun dred and fifty. This small army com prises door men, hall boys, waiters, bar tenders, attendants at the riile range, shooting gallery, baths and .other de partments, elevator boys, bookkeepers, accountants, engineers, firemen, cham bermaids, cooks, washerwomen and Bcrubwomen. Humble though some of these em ployes are, it costs money to secure their more or less professional services for the club, nnd the salary list is be tween fifteen hundred dollars and two thousand dollars a week. The Manhattan club, which probably conies next in t he length of its salary list, employs between one hundred and forty five and one hundred and fifty, and pays them something over one Ihousnnd dol lars a week for attending to the club house nnd the wants of tho men who keen it a-coin.'.'. The present Manhat tan Athletic clubhouse isc.mipnr:itivcly a new thing, and naturally many, it not most, of its attaches are comparatively new-corners. But at the Manhattan club, which is one of the old club insti tutions of the town, many of the help have grown gray in the s'Tvieo. The venerable female housekeeiwr, for in stance, has put in a eoup!o of decades keeping things in (inter lor tne Man hattanitcs, nnd a dozen other employes have been with the club for a decade or more. J here is one (letaeluuent or tne Manhattan club's employes whose very existence is probably unknown to nine tenlhs of tho club's members. Every one of this detachment in of tho fem inine gender, and every one is likewise of the color of the ace of spades. The women in question ure the houseclean ers, mid put in their appearance at the clubhouse about sunrise, make things lively f'r a couple of hours, and disap pear before the earliest member of the club has shaken off the (unbrace of Mor pheus. Tin! I'nion league also lu.s a big staff of employes, as may be Imagined from the fai t that it. spends nearly ten thou sand dollars every year ii providing them with livery. The Ne.p York Ath letic is aiK'tlnr club wi'i.-li does a large business intlie way id' employes; likewise the I'nion club, the New York club, the Lawyers' club, and half a doz en other clubs on the same order. At most of these clubs employes of a dozen or moie years' standing may still be seen, and, in fact at any of the first class clubs it is the rule to retain the doormen, so long ns they behave them selves, in order t i have at least a couple of servants who arc familiar with the faces of all the members, 'i lie I'niversi ty club, of course, has an immense retinue of servants, but. ns the rule there seems to be to have a "shake-up" once a month or so. not more than half adozen old-time attaches of Uieelub are to be sci n at t he club house on Madison avenue novuila s. At the really lirst-chiss clubs an en deavor is tu.fle to scare as servants only scrvin;' people who have had ex perience in private families or other first-class clubs, but at some of the clubs almost everybody who responds to the house committee's advertise ment ii taken on faith and given a chance to don the club livery. The Lawyers' club is a notable exception to clubs of the last named order, the at taches of that institution being particu larly well trained and disciplined. Al most every one of them has seen sen-ice In the better class of New Y'ork fami lies anil every one of them thoroughly understands his place. Then! is rarely or never any complaint of incivility or lack of nttcuti.su on the part of the servants of the Lawyers' club, and that fact, perhaps, as much as anything else, accounts for the extreme populari ty of the club. Altogether probably eight thousand or ten thousand people find employment in the clubs of tins city. NO EYES FOR THE FEEBLE. The Officious Car Conductor and the El feet of Hit tnwelcome Attention. Any woman who Is at all presentable and not past her first youth knows the officious conductor. She has met him on shopptng expeditions in the morning and theater going in the evening, yet, according to tho Philadelphia Inquirer, his demeanor does not change either with the time of day or condition of the weather. He is always so affable. He really must hold on to you lest you fall when getting off and give your arm a protecting little squeeze when you are getting on. He orders a place made for you with an air of proprietorship that is simply galling, and though you may be unfeignedly thankful for the seat thus obtained, you are in mortal fear lest everybody in the car takes you for his fiancee, his attentions are so marked. He watches for your slightest nod to in dicate your destination, and with a most embarrassing show of homage will order his passengers in a loud tone to "make room for the lady to pass," and when you are once off that ear you give a sigh of relief, yet cannot help feeling even yet his offensively familiar looks, for his attentions are not genuine. This salaried Don Juan has no use for elderly dames or feeble old men. They can get on and off as best they can. He makes no effort to secure a seat for any one over thirty unless they show evi dence of wealth in their attire. His eye is attracted by pretty faces and pretty gowns, and, taken all in all, he is about as objectionable a character as you are apt to meet in a day's ride, for his services arc rendered in such a way you cannot openly resent them, yet in your soul you feel humiliated by his of fensively obliging offices. BHOPAL'S PRINCESS RULER. ESKIMOS AT THE FAIR. r Natives of tho Far North to Bfl Brousrht to Chicago. She Was a lteruarhabl.: Wouia-i, Florco, Strong and Kelentless. Her highness Shah Jenan lieguin, the daughter of the late Sikander Begum, the last ruler of Iihopal, iwas a remark able woman in every sense of the word. She reigned during the mutiny and gave valuable help to the British govern ment, especially in assisting Sir Henry Durand and his party of fugitives in escaping from the Indore residency. She was also a fierce, strong and re lentless woman and kept her daughter, the present Begum, in a state of abject submission. Once, when her daughter met at the house of a relative a young man of the royal house of Delhi, who was a suitor for her hand, she impris oned her for months in her own room and beat her with her own hand, while the unfortunate lover was confined in an iron cage hung nt the gate of the fort and was only released after some months on the persistent remonstrances of the British political officials. The present Begum is now over fifty years of age, very small in person, not taller than an ordinary child ten years of age; but she has inherited many of the qualities and much of the ability, as well as the strong will, of her mother and her attempts at ruling her daugh ter with the severity with which she was ruled has created a breach between them, which has been widened by inter ested mischief makers. Her subjects are Hindoo, but her highness is a Mo hammedan, as are also nicest of the officials. SEX IN STUDY Women OF MUSIC. I A Itemarleible Throat. I ! There Is a woman living In Vienna I with a most remarknble throat. Y'ou ; can pass probes to all parts of both her throat and larynx without causing any ( spasms of the muscles, what inordinary i language is called gagging. You can place buttons in various parts of her lurvux nnd remove them again and she will suffer no discomfort. Why this should be so nobody knows. The most eminent throat specialists in the world have examined her nnd found no reason j for it. ller vocal cords arc as nearly I white as those found in a tvuicallv nor- ald to Uc Ni-t Comparable to 1 en. There is no room for the contention that, as compared with the boy, the girl has not had fair play; chat, oppor tunities for cultivating the art have in her case been few, in his case many. The reverse is the truth. If there is a branch of education in which girls have been schooled to the neglect of every other it is precisely that of music. It is ami. n;;' the primary subjects to which she is put and am .ng the very last she is allowed to leave o:f, says the London Lancet. .".1 rue h our a day, but many hours out of i.'ic twenty-four, are consumed by Iter i.t I ho piano, to say nothing of other i, c. r. .inc. its. while singing lessons are us'.ialiy given in supplement to these.

In instrumental performaiice she can not for a moment compar.' with him, while as to composition she is nowhere. The repertory of music i" out the dawn of the art to the present day owes sim ply nothing to her. Considering the time she has spent over it. her failure to evolve new harmonics or even new melodies is one of the most extraordi nary enigilxis in the hi-.t-.ry of the fine arts.

At a London park a crowd had col lected around a girl sobbing bitterly and accusing a woman of having stolen a shilling from her. The accused loud ly asserted her innocence and slowly made her way out of tho crowd and dis appeared. Tho crowd is indignant, ac cusations and curses against the thief and crying and looking for a policeman being indulged in by all of them. At length a matron pushes her way into the crowd, anil having been told what has happened, she gives tho girl a shill ing, receives thanks and tho crowd dis perses. The matron waits a minute, when a policeman passes by. She tells him of the occurrence nnd asks him to have his eye on such women as will rob children. "Oh, madam," he says, "I know the woman. I only wish I could meet her in doing the trick. She and the girl work together. They both make a living that way. clever rogues!"

In winter they live in large tribes, but during the. summer months they scatter in all directions and hunt reindeer.

A COLUMBIAN CUSTOM HOUSE. Foreign Good to lie rut In Charge of Ex()Rltloti Directora. Question of the method of administer ing the customs at the port of Chicago on goods imported for use at the world's fair, which has been under consideration by the officials at Washington, was set tled by the adoption of the policy sug gested by Collector Clark, who received a communication to that effect from As sistant Secretary of the Treasury Spaulding recently. Provision will be made for tho inspection of goods at tho fair grounds by the world's fair di rectors, who will give a receipt to the collector of customs, describing the goods, their nature and place of de posit, and at the close of the fair returns will bo made accordingly. Exhibits will be received duty free, and what shall constitute an exhib'' will bo decided by the directory. Gooo which are to be sold on the grounds will be stored in warehouses on the grounds and duty paid as goods are drawn. Exhibits sold subject to de livery at the close of tho fair will have duty collected when purchaser takes possession. Exhibits are to be immedi ately placed in their proper department and kept there. Thi3 method, it is thought, will do away with the trouble experienced at Philadelphia, where the customs authorities collapsed entirely from having neglected to draw a dis tinct line between exhibits and dutiable merchandise.

The information that the pope would i make an extensive exhibit at the fair, I which was contained in ii lato cable gram from Bishop Ireland, made happy those who have the welfare of the fair at heart. It has been known ever since Judge T. B. Bryan appeared before the pope and was so graciously received that the Vatican would bo represented at the fair. Tho information received simply proves that the exhibit to be made is to 1 be an important one. A formal request : for space was made upon Director Gen eral Davis, and, of course, it met with favor. The amount of space desired cannot be told until full information is ' rwelvoil Tho fin a apttOa 4nnf it known will be displayed is a map of tho world published in 1525, the first pro duced after the discovery of America. That map, which was promised for the fair to Judge Bryan, is of inestimable value. It has hung in the Vatican for hundreds of years. The entire exhibit will undoubtedly be one of great value and of greater interest. The mere fact that it is made with the pope's blessing will attract to the fair hundreds of thousands of loyal Catholics who ordi narily would have remained away. , With all bid mbmmscn. itnntdirr.
