BABYLoNs ENDLESS CHAIN.
Letter No. sS Has been Received with


 Letter No. 9S Has been Received with
 Result of Over $2O,OOO Donated.
 The endless chain started by Miss. Natalie Schenck of Babylon, Long Island, is not yet ended, but the let ters can now be carried in a box, in stead of barrel, and letters marked "100' may be received before many weeks has passed. No. 9S Is often re- ceived now, but with 1t come No. 3S, showing that in some places the chain has coiled it's length more slowly than in others. Letters have come from every part of the United Stats, Cana da, Mexico, Europe and Asia. Miss Schenk was seized with a desire to help the soldiers, and wrote letters to four friends, requesting them to write four more, and when the hundredth letter was reached, to return it to her and break the chain.
 The mail outgrew the home accom- modations, and carriage house was fitted up with long, fine table, chairs and big packing boxes, and the busi- ness began in good earnest. Harper & Brothers sent a young woman to get the addresses which came with any letter. She worked for weeks and col lected hundreds of thousands of ad- dresses. Then other firms took the care of the chain, sending @ rep resentative, who opened letters from morning until night. It soon became a thoroughly systematized business. The barrels of morning mail were brought in about 10 o'clock, and letters were at once sorted over by the young woman in charge and her assistants, to see If other mail had been dropped in through mistake. Many letters for other people were often found, as 1t was impossible for the post-office officials to daily collect thousands of letters for one person without other letters slipping in.
 As the letters were sorted they were placed in piles, face downward, ready for the openers, who were armed with the long and slender blades of the steel letter-openers. Boxes stood near to receive money and stamps. One third of the amount received daily, amounting to hundreds of dollars, was received in stamps. There was a box full of dimes and bills of all denomina- tions, from s1 to $40. The dimes, 25 and 30 cent pieces were sent in every imaginable way, in silk, velvet, wool and cotton with greatest care, wrapped in many pieces of paper incased in wax, soap bread and wadding. One 50-cent piece was imbedded in we'd ding cake.
 All the letters that contained large bills or checks had mourning envel- opes, telling sad stories of sorrowing hearts that had responded quickly to the call for help for the soldiers who were comrades of some dear lost one. Many large amounts were received in checks and bills, the largest check be- ing $4,000. Over $20000 was collected, and hundreds of soldiers were bene- fited and helped by this wonderful end less chain.
 The spelling of Miss Schenck's name occasioned much amusement, and con- stant deciphering on the part of post office officials. Passing through so many trials of chirography, it appears written Sohenka, Sewana, Sonk, Sant and various other misnomers.

1 this time for such people to do, and too proud to accept charity, they simply sat down in their decayed splendor and waited, Macawber-w wise, for something l to turn up''-or for death, the kindly healer of all woes. The wife, the typi- cal senora of Spanish America and her slender young daughter were both in l their beds, too weak to rise when help came. It is needless to add that a gen. erous supply of provisions was at once sent to the family, and that they are not too proud toeat what they could not ask for, is evidenced by the fact | that the old gentleman is again seen on
 the streets as dignified and courtly as ever.
 l One of the most useful and interest | ing of the Red Cross institutions in | Santiago is the dispensary and Con sultario" for the poor. A big house has | been taken for the purpose, and corps 1 of ''medicos," mostly Cubans, under 1 Doctor Sollosso, of Havana, are there, maintained by rations sent from the
 Red Cross stores. The physicians give i their time and services gratuitously, | but must of course be fed. They have | a supply of medicines-limited in varie- 1 ty, but not in quantity-furnished by i the Red Cross, and large stores of con- densed milk, the medicine most needed in the majority of cases.

Could Not Bluff the. Editor.

The Washburn Leader gives the fol-
lowing account of the killing of an out
law up in Williams county by the editor
of the Press:
o. M. Dean, editor and proprietor of
the. Williams County Press, published at
the editors ranch near Grinnell, shot and
killed Hank Schufeldt near that point,
Saturday. That section has been the
rendezvous of a bad gang of semi-out-
laws, for some time, and who originally
commenced business there running of
young calves and colts belonging to other
parties and putting their own brands up
on them. Meeting with rows and pro-
tests only from aggrieved parties instead
of the rigors of the law, the outlaws COM
menced the "estray" o. taking up"
dodge on the punches of cattle and horses
that didn't happen to have a herder with
them or a sleepy and neglectful one. A
protest from editor Dean brought some
of these cattle r%ustlers upon him and he
was caught up by the swinging of a lariat
by some Of them by way of diversion and
dragged v the prairie and was gently
reminded it was we'll to keep his opinion
about stock thieves to himself. This was
some time ago. Instead of letting up on
them Mr.. Dean cleaned up his gun, and
on a second attack sent one of them to
the r~ustlers happy foraging ground as
above stated. A c%oroner's jury has held
Dean for trial on a charge Of wilful MUIR
