LOST LETTERS.
Germans in Samoa Suspected of Tampering
with United States Officers Mail

Germans in Samoa Suspected of Tampering
with United States Officers Mail
SAN Francisco, CAL. Feb. 12.-Capt.
Leary, who commanded the United
States man of war Adams at Samoa, and
to whose prompt action is ascribed the
failure of the Germans to make war on
the natives until after his departure from
the islands, has learned since bis arrival
in San Francisco that important letters
were addressed to him by Rear Admiral
Kimberly and by the state department
which failed to reach him, but that other
mail matter sent at the same time and
one ordering him to cruise
in other waters did reach
him. He is now instituting
an inquiry as to his failure to receive his
mail. The postoffice at Apia is in the
hands of the Germans and all mail
matter whatever, whether, addressed to
officials or to private parties is handled
by them. The mails are carried from
here by ocean steamers and are dropped
at the island of Tutulai where they are
taken on board by German schooner for
Apia, sixty miles distant. An American
man-of-w war took all official mail from
Apia to meet a steamer at Tutulai
on her way to San Francisco
to guard against any delay or
tamperlng with mails. At the request of
Americans on the islands, many of the
letters which were on the steamship Ala
media were enclosed in envelopes ad-
dressed to the American consul in expec-
tatiOn that the man-on-war would meet
the steamer at Tutulai, as complaint has
frequently been made that mail intended
for American citizens at Apia has been
delayed and at times altogether withheld
by the German authorities. Captain
Leary is prosecuting the inquiry to de-
termine whether his official mail was
tempered with.

Good Results to Come from the Liberal Victory
at Ogden, Utah
Special to the Gazette.
OGDEN, UTAH, Feb. Pm the mu-
nicipal election yesterday the Liberals
elected their full ticket by majorities
averaging about 1875 The mayor-elect
is F. j Kiesel, wholesale grocer, who
has been a citizen of Utah twenty five
years. The defeated candidate, John A
Boyle, is an old-time resident and
staunch Mormon. Ogden is the first
town in Utah to elect Gentle mayor,
and the event is looked upon as great
victory, not entirely for this city, but
for the whole territory as it will encour-
age the Liberals in other towns and more
speedily bring about the end being
wrought, that of inducing immigration
to Utah. Heretofore, people of the East
have looked upon this territory as being
so completely under Mormon rule that
they have been slow to undertake to in
vest or even make their residence there.
The Gentiles of Ogden are particularly
interested in their success in that they
feel that they are now in the lead and by
diligent effort can hold it.

Book embroidery is fad which may
attain the dimensions of mania There
were days when it had the dignity of an
art, and missals of the seventeenth CEN
tury, volumes once belonging to queens
and to monasteries and preserved
in the collections of connoisseurs or
unearthed by the antiquarian, form
the models on which the new embroidery
of books is based. A young girl who adj
mires Whittier is embroidering a cover
for copy of his poems which she hopes
may be accepted by the Quaker singer in
his boar but kindly age. A thick-piled
green velvet is the material, and the de-
sign is a monogram of the poets initials
in gold and silver threads, with
conventional border. An amateur pho
tographer has filed portfolio with fine
large prints Of Hudson river and CatskIi
scenery. His pretty sister, who figures
as 'shuman interest in many of the
pictures, has designed for the volume
which is TO contain them cover OF
soft drab velvet, against which back
ground she has embroidered the old
bridge in Sleepy Hollow with the headless
hOrseman hard on the heels or Ichabod
Crane, q fitting reminder OF the legends
of the Western Rhine. A dainty prayer
book belonging TO a devotional little maid
is cased in black velvet, adorned with
lily sprays Some one sent
Mrs Iangtry a superb volume of his
torical costumes finely illustrated. This
the Lily has had bound in cover of pale
greenish- blue silk, over which wanders
design of golden dragons. winged and
with wonderfully wreathed tails, which
assault each other ferociously with
teeth and claws. Book embroidery is
not a difficult art if the artist
adopts eonventionalized designs for
small covers, and subjects which can be
treated in mass without fine detail for all
work. It is not worth undertaking ex-
cent for volumes of permanent value, but
rs applied to well chosen books it is likely
10 prove . profitable field for the needle
women who enter the market while it is
novelty.

Arkansas to Texas, and the detective can
now leave with his man.

THE WINE GAVE OUT.
A White House Accident that Gave Ofense to |
Some of the Guests.
ChicapO Trihune

Some of the Guests
Chicago Tribune
Mrs. Cleveland was sadly chagrined at
the recent diplomatic dinner given at the
White House. With true feminine in
stinct Mrs. Cleveland insists upon having
perfect cooking and perfect service in the
state dinners given in such proflsion at
this season of the year. She has already
had occasion to reprove the steward
and his cook, neither of whom is an ac-
complished chef. The steward is the
president s body servant, and had had no
experience in the serving of ceremonial
dinners until he was brought here and
put on the government payroIls as stew
ard of the executive mansion.
Imagine Mrs. Cleveland IS consterna-
ton when, near the close of the dinner to
the diplomatic corps, it was discovered
that the wine had run out. Mrs. Cleye-
land does not drink wine, but there stood
the glasses of many of the diplomats
empty and waiting for the wine which
could not be found IN the White House
cellar. The failure of the walters to
bring on more wine was not understood
Dy the guests. Some of them took the
matter as an affront. The assistant cook
was sent out on run to see if he could
not get into some grocery house or wine
store and obtain fresh supply, but
at that hour the stores were all closed.
He did manage to get few dozen bottles
at saloon in Pennsylvania avenue, but
before his return the mischief was done,
and the guests had left the table, looking
askance at the empty wine glasses, and
raising their eyebrows at each other.
