CLARK'S CRUISE OF THE "CLEVELAND"
Maori So 3rrng-i tea.
Women of the Maori tribe of New
Zealand are now appearing as features
of the show at tbe Hippodrome In New
York City, and as they are educated
and cultivated persons, and have tbe
right to full suffrage in their native
land, they chose three delegates to rep
resent them at Mrs. Pankhurst's lec
ture in Carnegie hall recently. They
were Klri Matao, widow of an old
Maori chief; Waapi, a young political
leader and a prohibitionist, and Drana,
who is 21, and cast her vote for the
Conservatives at the last election. Eng
lishmen in New Zealand have extend
ed to women all the rights they them
selves have, and thai Mrs. Pankhurst

gorts ask for. Springfield Republican.

Washington. "Drop a penny In the

One Old New York Inapector Cava
Smell Diamond! Six Feet Away.
Tlrnothy J, Donohue, the oldest in
spector of customs In this city, is cred
ited by his fellows with possessing a
nose which can smell concealed dia
monds and other jewels six feet away,
the New York Press says. "Old Tim,"
as he la known, has more seizures of
that sort to his credit on the records
of the customs house than any other
inspector employed there. His duty
Is to wander aimlessly about the
steamship piers and "frisk" incoming
passengers. Many persons may not
know what "frisk" means in customs
house parlance. It is the art of stum
bling or brushing against a person so
skillfully that the inspector can rub
his hands over the pockets and person
of the suspect and ascertain whether
he has smuggled goods concealed In
his clothes and at the same time pre
vent the suspect knowing what he is
doing.
In the thirty-five years or longer
that Donohue has been at it on the
New York piers he has "frisked"! thou
sands of Americans and foreigners
after they have landed and are await
ing to get their luggage through the
hands of the other inspectors. If any
incoming passengers standing on a
transatlantic line pier sees a short,
stout, gray-haired, gray-mustachea
man, quietly dressed, carrying a. cheap
umbrella tied in the middle with
string and stumbling about as if fresh
from the backwoods and looking for
some one whom he cannot find, that
Is "Old Tim" Donohue. In his eager
quest he bumps against everybody;
seizes overcoats by the pockets, rubs
his hands up and down passengers as
he triDS over baggage, acts half
soused, never apologizes and keeps
right on. After the inspectors are
through with a passenger whom he in
spects he steps up and invites him to
en to the office to be searched. It is
not often his suspicions are misdi'
rected. ' 1

blue uniform. He bore It for days,
but at last said to the spy: "Why do
you pursue me in this way?" "I'm a
detective and my instructions are not
to lose sight of you," was the quiet
answer. "Why, what fault have the
police to find wth me?" shouted the
stranger. "My passport is in order,
here is my ticket of residence; I am
a citizen of Berlin; why do you fol
low me about?" "It states in your
passport," was the reply, "that you
were going to reside here for pleas
