wrote fourteen of the notes scrawiing them
on any scrap of paper at hand, and placing
the whole in a cigar box, which she left be-
hind her on the table. The only note which
had any date, signature or address is the fol-
lowing, which was directed to Chief Marsh,
which she signs with her maiden name:
"CHIEF MARSH: / do not want that woman
by Fick's house to take one step in my house
or rooms on no consideration. / wish to

In one note she names the undertaken

that the furniture will pay the funeral ex-
penses. In another SIC writes of "that

A LIFE reliance.
TPittsburr Telegraph, |

FIttSDurg 1elegraph.l
There are few men who have not met with
some romantic or unusual experience in the
course of their lives, and fewer still who have
not at some period or other been shown that
the French proverb, '.Nothing ever happens
but the impossible and unexpected" has a
great deal of truth in it. The even tenor OF
the way of some of us is invaded in the most
ruthless manner, every now and then, by
some event which was not only total y unlock
ed for, but was regarded as out of the limit
of possibilities. good example of these
freaks of destiny was told the Telegraph a
short time ago by Mr.. John w. Haney, the
well-known transport ton man and shipper
and handler of freight.
About twenty-three years ago Mr.. Haney
lived in Ohio. His wife died while he re-
sided there, and he came to Pittsburg short
~ afterward. He went into business here
and gradually began to build up the fine
busint IS which he now controls. Not long
after his departure from Ohio his brother
died and his widow came to Pittsburg to visit
some relatives, leaving her son, a boy four or
FIVE years old, with some friends in the
Buckeye State. She had not been in the city
long before she became i'll and died rather
suddenly. Mr.. Haney at once went after his
nephew, and, o., arriving at the little village
where the family had lived in whose care the
boy had been left, he found, to his con-
sternation, that they had sold out all their
things and gone further west. "Gone
west, in those days, meant very different
thing from what it does now; and, as nobody
knew where the family had gone, search for
them was like looking fol tive-cent piece
that had dropped in the Atlantic Ocean. In
spite of all discouragements Mr.. Haney
spent considerable time and money in try
ing to discover the boy, and did not give it
up entirely until several years had elapsed.
Not single trace could be found of the little
fellow, and at last he was almost forgotten
and became as one who had long been dead
as far as Mr.. Haney was concerned. Aboat
a month ago merchant III Cairo, Ill order
ed large consignment of axes in the East,
and instructed Mr.. Haney not to send them
thro Oh unless he could get special rates of
freight. The river hegan going down, and
freights advanced, so a nu,nber of telegram
passed between the gentleman in Cairo and
Mr.. Haney. One day after these kilograms
had been sent, q dispatch was received from
a telegraph operator in Cincinnati, asking
"Who is John w. Haneyg' and adding tina
he (Lhe operator) had an uncle of taat name
here, whom he had not seen for great
many years. The dispatch was shown to
Mr.. Haney, and investigation disclosed the
fact that the lost nephew tad been found at
last. The boy had lost oil recollection of his

MERCHANDISE BY MAIL.
New York World. |

On the first of the present month, by order
of the Postmaster General, the system of
registering third-class matter in its transmits
sion through the mails went into effect.
Such matter must be Endorsed, either in
writing or in print, with the name and adj
dress of the sender, and there may be added
brief description of the number and names
of the articles Enclosed. The regstery fee,
which is 10 cents, as well as the postage.
must be prepaid. With view to ascertain
ing how the new system worked, a World
reporter called on Mr.. Forester, Superin-
tendent of the Registery Department of the
New York Office, and asked for information.
''rhird class registered matter, under the
new provision" said Mr.. Forester, sis
coming in gradually, but the indications are
that it is going to grow in volume. From
the LIST to the 9Th of this month we received
about 400 packages, principally merchan-
disc, and they averaged about two and half
pounds each. Such dealers as Enrich q Co.,
Ridley, and those who advertise samples, are
adopting the system. People in the country
order goods and request that they be for
warded by registered mail. We have few
packages coming in in proportion to the
number going out"
'Will the system yield large income?''
registration fee will pay the expense of hand
ling it as registered matter.'
ssWhat is third class matter?"
"Briefy, third class matter is everything
admitted to the mails which is not written
matter. 1t includes books, merchandise,
etc.;
allow about the sending of jewelry through
the mails?''
''We try to discourage it, because it is too
valuable to be sent in open packages. Still,
we get it. To-day, for instance, we had a
| lady's pendant. It was made of gold, was
| deeply studded with diamonds, and was of
exquisite workmanship. The sender placed
it in an open package, on which he paid one
cent In addition to the 10 cent registration
fee. By leaving 1t open for inspection he
took the chances of exciting some mans Gu
pidity, and saved five cents.
"Have the contents of all packages to be
examined?''
eyes, before registration"
Glow is the system going to affect the ex-
press companies?" asked the reporter.
at will undoubtedly infringe on their
/ business. Business men will soon take adj
vantage of it to much greater extent than
they do now. They will advertise that on
receipt of the registration fee and postage
they will send any goods ordered by mail.
We have already had many inquiries on the
subject. Goods can be sent by mail cheap
er than by express, and the system will be
found of great service where there are no ex-
press Offices
"What advantage has the SYSTEM"
cit has this: The sender of registered
matter gets a return receipt, showing that
the package has been delivered, signed by
the person who receives the parcel. An
other advantage is that the packages are
treated with all the care of registered let
ters."

A SeasOnAble HINT.

The Boston Commercial Bulletin, reminding
its readers that the next few weeks give the
best season of the year to "plant fences" sup
plies some very remarkable figures as to the
nse of wire fence, and especially of the Barb
Fence of the Washburn & Moen Manufacture
lug Company. Since the Introduction of wire
fence, twenty years ago, one hundred and .tiffy
thousand miles of wire fence have been con
structed. The Barb Fence has been before the
public only three seasons, yet already tare'aty-
four thousand miles of this fence are in use IN
this country and various parts of the world.
1t is in the highest favor with land owners,
for farm and home protection against depre-
dators of the crops and orchards The fence
is constructed OF Galvanized Steel Wire and
carries steel barhs firmly attached by the pro-
cess of manufacture patented in this country
and very widely abroad. The Barb fence il
literally steel thorn hedge with all the de,
fcnsivt qualities f the most perfect hedee,
and all the durability of galvanized steel wire.
1t is cheap as a material, easy in construction
and has almost the life and tenacity of stone

A WOMAN DRIVEN TO DEATH.
Bridgeport, Conn.,, Special to Cincinnati En-
quirer.

Bridgeport, Conn.,, Special to Cincinnati En-
quirer.
The public here are much excited over the
d sappearance and probable fate of Lena
Flick, German woman, "a years of age, and
her seven year old daughter. Both disap-
peared on Sunday evening. Thirteen years
ago the woman married Jacob Flick. The
couple were twice divorced, the first time
nine years ago. They remarked after a
separation of six months, and were divorced
second time four years ago. Since then
they have ntinued to live apart. They had
three children. The divorce decree awarded
the custody of the children to the mother,
and they have been in the habit of sleeping
at her rooms and taking their meals with
their father. All three went from the resi-
dence of one parent to another almost daily,
and Mrs. Flick frequently called upon them
at the house of her husband. He is board
ing with German family, and when Mrs.
Flick went to see her children there she often
had hard words with the landlady. She con-
ceived fierce jealousy of and hatred for this
woman.
Lately Mrs. Flick has been very much de-
pressed, mentally and physically. She GER
tainly suffered great deal of pain from
some disease, and developed a gloomy and
brooding turn of mind. She pondered much
over dingy old pamphlet entitled "Driven
to DEATH" the story of Mrs. Philip Bissen-
ger, a Pennsylvania woman, who was driven
wild by jealousy and domestic troubles and
made an end of all by drowning herself aud
her three children in the canal. The many
curious potts Of resemblance between the
circumstances of this woman and her own
very evidently exercised strong influence
in producing in Mrs. Flick the mental condi-
ton which prompted her to kill herself and
her children. Both were jealous of their
husbands, from whom they were separated;
both had three children, and the husbands of
both Kept saloons.
Last Friday Mrs. Flick took the two little
iris 10 Seaside park, and standing on the
each tried to persuade the elder to 60 into
the water. ct is an easy way to get rid of
trouble said she: sit will be all over in
ten or fifteen minutes, and then you will be
in better world" She kept on talking in
this strain for some time, but the child
shrank from the death TO which she was in
vited, and could not be persuaded to enter
the water. Failing to get the child to drown
herself, Mrs. Flick cautioned her to say moth
ing to her father about it, and she obeyed.
On Sunday the little girls were again with
their mother. Mrs. Flick read and cried over
Driven to Death while they were there,
and occupied the rest of the day in writing

A Young Smoker.

A well-known editor of neighboring
city and collector of customs for this dis
trict, learned to smoke very early in life,
to his good fathers sorrow. A friend
suggested making the youth smoke a

iidn't grow pale shade, and kept at it
until it was entirely cremated, and then
brew the stump aside, and asked, Path

afterwards said he'd have smoked that
