cality, utilizes everything that comes in his
way. He realizes a neat little sum each
year from the auction sale of packages,
from the deposit of lost money and also
from the destroyed matter sold as waste
paper.
In addition to these records is a book
which gives the postal history of lost
manuscripts. which number about LOCO
yearly.
There is also a record of inquiries for
missing mail and a record of registered
matter. The registered articles received
are not distributed among the six desks
named, but a separate record is kept or
them, so that these are the largest of the
record books and the articles kept on file
mere are miscellaneous in character.
Every month the periodicals. which have
gone astray in the mails and reached the
dead letter office are distributed among
The charitable institutions of the district.
They are the department missionaries that
cheer the sick and bless the lonely.
1t is expected that the recent order to
postmasters in regard to the palmer
stamping of letters will facilitate the work
of this office to large degree Postmas-
ters are now ordered to stamp each letter
distinctly with the name of the mailing
office. 1t sometimes requires half a dozen
clerks with magnifyinG lens and every
facility for blind reading" to decipher a
single postmark. This kind of stamping
is usually done in the smaller Offices. The
letters from large cities almost always
have legible postmark When this rul-
ing is enforced the percentage of matter
returned will be increased.
The amount of matter received at the
dead letter office has decreased in the last
few years. This is probably due to the
efficiency of the Don't" circulars, which
are sent 10 all postmasters for the dissem-
nation OF rules of precaHtion to be OBJ
served by patrons of the mails.
This office might be called the headquar-
ters of Santa Claus. At any rate, it is
where his mail is received. Every au-
tumn his letters come in by hundreds, and
later by thousands There is every varie-
ty of spelling and childish chirography
There is also a variety of places assigned
as his abiding place, such as the North
Pole, Fairyland, and other places not
within reach of the postal service.
But the little folks are not the only ones
who send indefinitely addressed letters
Two examples will serve to show the rare
discriminating powers assigned to the pos
tai employe by the public mind

native of either Nova Scotia, New Bruins

At a glance this would seem an. easier

would be a more specific task, but still
not Objectionable, perhaps. But making

A MONSTER GUN,

From the New York Press.
In the gun factory at Watervliet arse

most tremendous rifle ever made. 1t is
l6-inch gun, and, when completed. win
have cost s39OOOO. It is 40 feet inches
long and weighs 1926 tons, six tons more
than the giant Krupp exhibited at the
Worlds Fair.
This gun win be mounted on Romer
Shoal, inclosed and protected by turret
From this position it Will have a full sweep
of the channels entering New York har-
Dor. With a 900-pound charge of powder
it will throw 1,OOO-pound shell fifteen
miles. This shell will move 1000 feet a
second, with a striking energy equal to
that of 2,000-ton ship moving at full
speed
No known armor or material can with
stand this fearful impact. The heaviest
protection would be as cardboard, and open
in huge, jagged holes. while the shell
would tear and rend the very bowels of
an enemy's warship.
So delcately is this greatest of the
worlds armament built. and so perfect is
the system of sighting and firing that the
enormous shell flies straight and true to
its target, miles away, as surely as a
sharpshooter plants his bullets in the bulls
eye with unvarying accuracy.

story, which you will readily perceive

the published one, is this: Bishop Becker
dld not receive an exactly similar thing,
nor dld ne receive a magazine with the
statement mat the Cathedral would be
burned to the ground on Feb. 6. 1899 In
fact, Bishop Becker received his fret
lhtlmatlon of the story from the news
papers 1t is very ingenious story. IN
fortunately entirely untrue.
we DO not ascribe the burning of orr
Church 10 any anti-Catholic sentiment. nor
any KIND of sentiment. We have no idea
now the fire originated, but do not he
heVe any one would destroy our church
TO crafty spleen or malice. Our Protest.
ant ana Jewish friends have been exces-
slVely generous in helping US TO rebuild
our church and we cannot thank them
suinclently for their sympathy and aid.

ne VNeIS dccIueHt winch happens to Cath

The occasion of the letter is enjnentlv
suggestive of the remark that if anv Of

Savannah, March 1.-The main feature
in the leading departments of trade to-
day was the advance in the price of spir-
its turpentine to 35A cents, the highest
figures at which the product has sold in
many years. There was a good domestic
demand, although the official price at
New York was not advanced. The rosin
market was firm with an advance in sew
eral grades. The cotton market was
quiet, with light transactions. The whole
sale markets were fairly active, with quo
tations steady and unchanged. The fol-
lowing resume of the different markets,
local and Geographic, will show the tone
and the quotations at the close to-day;

DRY GOoDS.

New York. March 1.-The situation in
dry goods shows no change OF moment.
Trading at first hands is perfunctory. The
mail order business is of small proper
tons. The price tone in both cotton and
woolens Is strong. Wooden and worsted
goods are selling less freely than hereto
fore. Agents are not pressing sales and
the course of the wooden market is still a
matter OF speculation. Recorders are fair
ly heavy. but new goods are taken with
conservatism. Staple cottons show prac-
tically the same conditions as have pre-
vailed heretofore. Print cloths are un-
changed in quotation. Prints are firm and
generally well distributed in demand.
