PFEIFFERs INDIGNATIoN.-The Treasurer Of
the United States is at present engaged in
lively correspondence with man whom he can
not reach by mail but who reaches him. His
name is Pfeiffer, and his letters are dated Scha-
ghticoke, New York. There Is no such post
office as this and the Post Office department
cannot deliver letters with that address. Treas
urer Gilfilan has written repeatedly to Mr.
Pfeif1er, but the latter has never received any
of the letters. The trouble is that Pfeifers
wife owns registered bond. The check for her
interest was sent to her address, but was re-
turned undelivered. Not receiving the check
the lady became indignant, and her husband
has launched into series OF correspondence,
each letter getting worse than its predecessor.
The replies of the Treasurer never reach him.
PfeiGeTS last letter begins: SIT is with pain that
again am compelled to write to you. The first
business OF good business man is promptness.
l regret to say that none OF my letters have re-
a free American citizen, and demands the money
due his wife. The only settlement of this one
sided controversy seems to be In the hope that
Pfeiffer WILL IN one of his numerous letters,
give more definite place OF habitation than
