THAT MAIL ROBBERY.
Government Offers a Reward of One
Thousand Dollars.

Government Offers a Reward of Ono
Thousand Dollars.
Detectives are still looking for the
seven mail pouches that disappeared SO
m~ysteriously from two mail wagons on
the Hoboken ferryboat Orange last Tues
day evening. Second Assistant ostmas-
ter General Bell yesterday visited New
York and discussed the situation and the
subject of mail transportation generally
with Postmaster Van Colt and his sub
ordlnateS.
Mr.. Bell said he considered it a false
policy to keep the facts of robbery of mail
from the newspapers. His opinion was
that the more publicity given the better
were the chances for ap~prehending the
thieves. The result of the conference
was the offer of a reward of one thousand
dollars for the arrest and conviction OF
the thieves. 1t was also decided that a
better watch should be kept on mail
wagons hereafter.
After the conference. Mr.. Boil started
on a tou of observation to see how driv-
ers of vans performed their work. Driv-
ers Walker and O'Keefe, who were ar
rested Thursday evening for leaving their
vans Nos. 55 and So. were unable to fur
nish bail yesterday and were kept in Lud-
low Street Jail.

Fashionable cruelty To Animals.

1t is a sharp comment on our semi
civilization that it was necessary in the
city of New York to found a society.for
the prevention OF cruelty to animals;
but the necessity OF the society is con-
stantly illustrated in the treatment OF
horses. Their helpless dependence. their
faithful service, their patient endurance
were not enough to save theIo from the
mnltreatment OF those who delight to de-
scribe themselves as a little lower chan

WILLIAM /. LOVED RUSSIA.
His Letters Show His Sorrow at Russian
Defeats in ~.

His Letters Show His Sorrow at Russian
Defeats in ~.
In the memoirs of the late Count Von
Roen, Just published in Berlin, our cor
respondent there says there are some in
teresting letters of the late Emperor Will
lam. which show how great was the SYM
pathy of that monarch with Russia. and
what difficulties Prince Bismarck must
have had to overcome before he cor
cluded the Austro- German treaty in 1879.
On August IS, 1877, when the Russians had
suffered defeat after defeat at the hands
of the Turks, the Emperor wrote:-
you Judge me rightly in %supsosing
that l am deeply moved by the reverse OF
the Russian army, and that L grleve with
the Emperor Alexander. But the opera
to me a riddle. y y v I hope with you
that at last victory will remain with the
Russian army. but the Turks must be
blind if they allow quietly the arrival of
enormous achievements. l wish they
may be so blind"
Events showed that the Turks gratified
the wish. On March IL, 1878, the Emperor
writes:-"When you wrote to me Plevus
had just fallen. The Russians went from
victory to victory, and stand now before
the gates of ConstanIiuople. and will con
clude a peace which will bring them little
reward for the enormous sacrifices
OF life-blood, and all sorts of expenses.
| Aud who knows what the congress (of
Berlin) will yet squeeze out Of them in
Armenia and on the Danube. 1t is a great
honor to Germany, and especially to
Prussia. that this congress is to meet in
Berlin in order to enable Bismarck to at
tend.
"But to me personally many a bitter
hour will thus be caused, for my part is
that of an arbiter, and such an one can
not please everybody" The bitter re-
mark, says our correspondent, proves
how %farsighted vas the old Emperor.
The breach in the close friendship of
Germany and Russia dates from the
Berlin Congress. London Ddtly NetCS.

TOO HUNGRY TO EAT.
The Sensation OF Starvation Described b

The Sensation Of Starvation Described by
a California Girl.
That any one can starve in the midst Of
plenty is sad enough, but when the sufferer
is a strong and willing girl in a CITY whore
domestic help is hard to get, the pity of it ia
lost in the wonder. Yet such was the ex-
p~erience of Louisa Stooker the other day in
San Francisco, says an exchange. She
actually tainted on the street and was we'll
night unto death before r~svivlnR at the hos
pitsl, and one physician says there 10 moth
ing the matter with her except starvation.
She il % years old and Vallejo was her
home. Her father is poor and she felt her
self a burden at home, so she . to San
Francisco, took a little room temporarily,
and tried to find work. Day after day
she hunted, reducing her rations as her
money grew less. living for several days
on tea and an occasional scrap of bread,
till at last strength gave out aud those who
picked her up on the street thought she was
a woman of 40. so rapidly had she aged.
She thus describes her experiences:
n;a "w s st, the day az y. ! saw saw my last last Fl a, "e
and hunt for work. but l just could not do
it. NY feet felt so heavy and I was so
dizzy l was afraid to walk far 70: fear I'd
fall down. i hadn't eaten anything since

tea. I had cried a. good deal before that,
but that day I felt too sick to cry. Toward
night l grew sick at the stomach. oh,
awfully sick, and my hands and feet wore
like Ice. / was afraid ! would be verv sick
if I didn't get something to eat, SO l went
out to a little restaurant near BY. l was
going to get a cup Of tea there with my five

said, "Oh, that's too bad" and were very
kind.
Did they get you something to eat2" "
NO" ...t. u.
did they offer you any money!"
No; the policeman brought me to this

about me in the papers. and he came to see
me this morning. He said he thought there

it. but l told him the only mistake was
that l thought l could earn my living all
