fact that large number Of business men
of Toledo have been greatly annoyed for
. lew months past through what seems TO
be systematic robbery Of the mails, in
which money ranging in amounts from $5
mp to $500 and S400 have been lost in
Transmission through the mails or at the
homo Office. II has been a source OF great
annoyance TO the business men as we'll as
their patrons. as the letters contained re-
mittances and orders for goods which never
came to hand, retardipg business and as
usual in such cases causing unjust suspic.
ions to rest on parties that are innocent.

John IL. McElroy as a Book Maker

JOhh II. McEIrOy ms a BOOK Maker.
Mr.. John H. McElroy, Of the Toledo
Blade, anhor OF "Andersonville," and other
works, has just completed another book
"The Red Acorn" of which the Detroit
Free Press speaks in very complimentary
terms, as follows:
In "The Red Acorn" Mr.. John McElroy,
of the Toledo Blade, ventures into a new
field, which has as yet been untitled by any
American author, though it adjoins closely
those worked 30 successfully by Charles
Lever and Thomas Hardy among British
novelists, and Erckmann. Clatrain among
those of France. Mr.. McEroy tells viv-
idly realistic story of real people, who bore
the heat and burden of the late war. HIS
characters are all drawn from life, and they
love and laugh, fight and endure, IN the
most captivating and natural way. There
is not dull line in the book nor chapter
that the reader does not thoroughly enjoy
and wish was longer. From first to last IL
is bright, breezy, humorous and intense to
degree hardly attained by any book la
sued from the American press for many
years. The fun is continuous and un-
strained, the movement of the Story easy
and fascinating, and the descriptions are
superb bits of word painting.
