kroU tle IftfgbHf0 lHnre,
Graham c. Richards, q well known
Scotch -Irishman. prominent during the
lste Congress Of his race, was, a few
days ago, the recipient Of one Of the
oldest epistles that probably ever passed
through the United States mails. Mr..
Richards lives on Watson street, near
Tunnel, and Is clerk by vocation.
During the Scotch Irish Congress he
made many friends from localities far
distant, and among these was Malcolm
II Mckenzie Of Louisville, Ky.
These two gentlemen had many
agreeable conversations, and In the
course Of one of these Mr.. Mckenzie
offered to bet his Pittsburg friend that
a common postage stamp, properly di.
rected, and without any envelope ap
pended, could be sent through the
mails TO It's destination Mr.. Richards
accepted the bet, and as no more was
said on the subject he forgot the whole
transaction.
On Thursday morning, however, the
morning postman left with many grins
what he called letter" for Mr. Rich
ards The letter was nothing more
than 2cent postage stamp. On the
gummed side was written In tiny char
aCters the address Graham G. Rich
ards, Watson street, Piusburg, Pa. "
Below came the message: "All we'll.
The bet Is mine Mckenzie "
This extraordinary communication
was hard to decipher, as some ruthless
official had stamped a post mark clear
over the message
A more extended letter was subse-
Quently received by Mr.. Richards from
the enterprlsing Louisvillian telling
him TO devote the money pending on
the bet TO the interests Of the Scotch.

The contest for the Philadelphia prize
offered to the most popular school
teacher in Pennsylvania, New Jersey or
Delaware, is waxing warm. Outside Of
a political campaign there has probably
never been so much interest taken in
voting in the state than has peen in this
case, for Miss Mary e. Thielman, Della
wares favorite candidate. The musical
friends of Miss Thielman have organized
the NJ f. T. Club with view to bring
ing this popular singer out a winner.
The contest has narrowed down to about
six leading candidates, and there is every
indication that Miss Thielman will lead
next Sunday. The fact that one of the
ladies in Pennsylvania is backed
by a director of the Standard Oil Com
pRny does not intimidate the members of
the NJ. K T. Club, but nerves them to
more earnest work. The plan of raising
company fund, adopted last meeting,
was for the members of the club to be
limited to 1000, at % cents each, which
limit the original members Of the club
will endesvor TO fill The officers of the
club have decided to ask the subscribers
of the Press to save their papers without
cutting out the slips, and every Thurs
day. the clubs team will be sent out TO
gather the papers. The object in getting
the papers is so that the Junk can be
