UNCLE SAM 10 AHEAD.


wouldn't Redeem.
A report, n went into the New York
poFtoficc the other day with a bundle
Of misdIrt cied stamped envelopes in his
pocket % see IL Uncle sam would not
redeem them for cash. He found a
window IN "A room on the second floor,
where this is the special business at
tended 70. Uncle Sans representative
looked oyer the lot Of envelopes, handed
back five, with the cash for the others,
and said
"You will have b. take a trip to Falls
City, Neb. Columbus. Ca; Newark,
N. j., and Brooklyn to get those four
redeemed. and here is one we won't re-
deem at all. You see, it is this way: Ii
does not matter where an envelope is
addressed TO; the point is where it
comes from-what postofiice issued it.
A postofiice can only redeem envelopes
which it has issued itself. If an en-
yelopc shows on the face Of it that some
other Office issued it, l can't give you
cash for it.
'Now look at this one. Here in the
corner is "A note, After ten days return
to Mr.. Blank, Falls City, Neb.' Evil
IDENTITY the Falls City p~ostofice issued
that. and you will have to 90 there to
get il redeemed if you are fond Of long
distance economy Of that sort. These
envelopes here with no Return to- note
may have been issued by some other
Office, but we have no means of know
s.~. - .,.t &.in sh.,. -, t.,.l H. l.
one marked, Return to II. o. box :, 1850,
New York city We will take that, for
we evidently issued lit. The principle
is simple, even if its workings look
complicated"
The reporter reminded the clerk that
The clerk took it up and looked at it.
1t had no Return to" note in the cor
ner, but the name and address were
printed ON it.
"Well, yon see. that comes under a
different rule" he continued. 1.-The
idea is to redeem envelopes which have
been INSTRUCTED by accident. This mar
has spoiled this envelope to help on his
business, sending it to some correspond
ent inclosed with a letter asking for a
business order likely. He expected the
other man TO use this envelope only in
writing to him and to keep him in mind
Of il he printed his address ON it. He
did not intend TO furnish free stamps
for his business acquaintance unless he
got them back on letters to himself.
HIS correspondent-you III this case
either did not send him an order or sent
it il a new envelope. Now you want to
get back 2 cents The business man
spent that 2 cents simply to bonn his
bu mess. Uncle Sam is not booming
any ones business, even to the extent
Of ? cents, except where all share alike
through general prosperity. You cannot
get that envelope redeemed anywhere. f"
The reporter thanked the clerk. After
calculating the cost of "A trip to Nebras-
ka, Georgia, Newark and Brooklyn and
comparing it with the value of the four
stamped envelopes which might be re-
deemed by it he concluded it was cheap
err on the whole to drop the envelopes in
the waste paper basket. New York Sun.

THE REPORT ARRIVES
GREAT CROWD WAITING At TnE
WASHINGTON DEPOT.
IT is A BULKY DOCUMENT.
1t Must Weigh Ten TO Twenty
Pounds--It VIII lie Delivered 10
Secretary Long This Morning.
Whole Party Guarding II Armed.

WASHINGTON, March 2f.-The report
of the Naval Board OF Inquiry into the
Maine disaster was received in Washing
ton at 9:s5 tonight. The four naval on
GERS who have guarded II since its de-
parture from Key West were hustled at
once into carriage by an attache Of the
Navy Department and driven to the
Ebbitt House.
The party consisted Of Lieutenant-com-
mander Mark. Lieutenant John Hood.
Lieutenant Carl Jungen, Passed-Assis.
tant- Engineer Bowers. A. t. Mark.
nephew OF the Judge-Advocate's. and
Ship-Carpenter Helms, of the Names Ill
fated crew.
There was an immense crowd waiting
at the depot when the train pulled In.
The naval contingent avoided the crush
OF citizens by alighting at the upper end
of the platform and going out across tho
tracks.
The party was met by Lieutenant Ward.
of the Navy Department who was the
sole representative of Secretary Long.
He informed Lieutenant Mark that tho
Secretary would not receive the report
tonight.
Lieutenant Hood carried the bulky
document in a white canvas bag, sluna
under his arm. II must have weighed
ten or twenty pounds, without Its carry
ing case.
That the whole party carrying the re-
port was armed was demonstrated In
rather theatrical way just as they were
about to get into the carriage. Soma
one ran against the end of the mysterious
canvas bag In which the report was cons
cealed. Quick as a fash Lieutenant
Hoods hand went back to his hip ant
Lieutenant Jungen laid his hand on the
butt of a revolver that was sticking from
his side pocket. The movements were
sufficient to prevent fGrther Jostling.
The report, in due process OF law ought
first to be delivered to the Secretary OF
Navy. and this. according to ali precedent
will be done at the Navy Department.
The document will then be submitted p"
President Mckinley, on whose dec'siot
its future migrations will depend
