Miss Rose Elizabeth Cleveland's
book, in six weeks has reached its
eleventh addition, each addition con-
aaining from 1000 to 5000 copies.
dtis enough to make the other liter,

the only consolation they can have is
the fact that Rose Elizabeth took a

LETTER RECEIVED
yesterday by Judge McCluDg, which,
though giving Nicholas another name and
placing the date of his death some
four years later than the time it really
occurred, yet evidently refers to
him and the fact that it substitutes an
uncle as his sole heir, is evidence that
Nichoiis's brother Peter is certainly de 4d.
The letter reads:

Dresden there resided a gentleman Of

promptly sent to the gov
ernor of Tule, Russis, to his
fathers nativity announcing of his sudden
death and inquiring for some relations
who may be entitled to become heir
to the pr perty left by the
deceased. Through poor circumstances
The uncle OF the deceased, who is the only
one next to kin, could not communicate
with Judge Morris then, who sent the COM
municatiop IN person, nor could he SIND
anybody else in his behalf. By chance il
happened that had to come to New York
on business of my own, so / was given
full power of attorney By the de

deceased. Therefore I would like

The imported hides from South
America to the United States amount
ed last year to upward of twenty mil
lion dollars. For the creation and
encouragement of this large trade no
steamship subsidy was required, nor
was there any need of sending to
South America a commission of
politicians out of a job to instruct the
merchants of New York and Phila-
delphia as to the best means of secur-
ing commerce. The trade is due to
mercantile enterprise and the spirit of

We have received by the courtesy
of Hon. N. P. Haugen, Railroad Com.
missioner, copy of his report for the
two years just closed. He reports
railroad business as generally -four.
ishing. and that the railroads in the
state are for the most part carefully
managed. To illustrate: Only one
passenger has been killed in the state
in three years without fault on his
part, and but three from all causes in
1884. The number of passengers in
jured in 1884 was Is. all but from
want of caution on their own part.
When we consider that over 4,000,-
900 passengers were carried in 1884 in
the state it appears that the percent
age of accidents is small. The total
earnings of roads in 1884 was $780,
All .073.6 SO: expenses of operating $l1,
S45, 576l8; net, $685.. 997.78. The
report is well digested and evinces
much labor and skill on the part of
the commissioner in compiling it.

that they could not afford to go by
way of Saltwater, no matter what con.
tribution might be made; this on ac-
count of the increased length of line;
but that he wright thought he could
talk them into it by showing them the
increased traffic they would surely
gain by so doing. He says further
that the New York people were clos

Owing to an erroneous dispatch the
Union Signal last week announced
that Michigan had voted to submit to
popular vote the prohibitory amend

thirds vote in the senate and SO was

long credit mark given to Michigan
last week.

the writing of articles than by con-
