VALUABLE LETTERS MISSING.
Sir ROdericlS Cameron Lost Them,
and Is Anxious.

Sir Rodcrick Cameron would very
much like to recover a letter-case, con-
tanning valuable papers and a small
amount of money, which was either
lost at the very door Of his residence,
1856 Madison avenue, or stolen from It
last Saturday night or early Sunday
morning.
Saturday night about II o'clock Sir
Roderck drove up to his house in
cab. He is certain that he had the let
ter-case in his hand on allghting from
the cab. Although he does not care to
say what the nature Of the documents
were, he says that they are of the great
est value to him.
The next morning the letter-case was
missed.
Sir Roderick thinks he may have
dropped 1t in the corridor, and that 1t
was carried away by a messenger boy
who was at the house early Sunday
morning.
Whoever has got the case can have
the money 1t contains II the documents
are returned.
