LETTER HAD A GOOD RIDE
Travelled Thousands of Miles in the
Wake of the Raleigh-Uncle
Sam Does Not Spare Trou-
BILE or Expense.

A letter that is very much of a curl
osity came into the Scranton postoffice
Saturday. 1t had travelled completely
around the world, and from the multi
tude of markings on the front and back
of the envelope it must have passed
through about every civilized country
on the globe.
1t was mailed at Scranton at $50 p.
m., December ., 1897, and addressed to
Thomas F.. Roach, u. S. S. Raleigh
Navy Department, Washington, d. c."
1t also bore directions that if not de-
livered within five days it was to be
returned to a certain lock box in Scran-
ton.
1t got to Washington December .
1897. From Washington it went to
London in care of b. f. Stevens, esq,
Trafalgar square, United States dis
patch agent, from which point it was
sent to British, p. o., Smyrna, Turkey,
where it received a postmark dated
December %. 1897.
On February I, 1898, it turned up in
Nagaski, Japan, but evidently too late
to catch the Raleigh, for its next stop
ping place was San Francisco, where
it arrived May 16, 1898. From San
Francisco it was sent to Hong Kong,
China, and thence TO Manila, where
the Raleigh, just about that time, had
a pressing engagement.
In due time Uncle Sam succeeded
in earning his two cents by delivering
the letter on the Raleigh, but it was
only to find that there was no such
man on the ship. Then it was return
ed to Washington and referred to the
navy department. There it was dis
covered that there was no such man
in the navy. The letter then went
to the dead letter office and on Feb. %
last was returned to the sender in this
city.
The letter went from Scranton to
Washington, 10 London, to Turkey,
back by way of New York and San
Francisco to China, from China to the
Philippines, from the Philippines back
to Washington and from Washington
to Scranton. If 1t had travelled in i
direct line over this route it covered
fully $4,000 miles. AS ii, of course,
didn't go as the crow flies, it probably
is not much out of the way TO say
that the letter travelled 10000 miles.
Some country or other. likely Eng
land, stamped the "eight pence" on
the front of the England. AS the let
ter was delivered to the addressed par
ty England will have to whistle for its
eight pence.

An overpowering desire To own a
flock of fine bred pigeons, which were
the property of another, has brought
four young lads to grief. The envied
man is joseph Heen, of Cedar avenue,
who owns large number of pigeons
and values them highly. Recently he
missed several of them and Constable
Joseph Woelkers was put on the case
to run down the supposed thieves. He
succeeded and Mr.. Heen went before
Alderman Lentes Saturday and gave
information for the arrest of Casper
Snyder and Charles Reilly, Of Moosic
street, Charles Everhart, of Prospect
avenue, and James Cawley, of Hem
lock street, on the charge of larceny.
Heen alleged that the boys were
guilty of stealing his birds. When ar
raigned for hearing the lads stoutly
maintained they were innocent, but
after much questioning by Constable
Woelkers, Everhardt confessed his
guilt His companions thereupon also
confessed their completely. The alder
man held the young defendants in $500
bail each. Mr.. Heen is willing to settle
the case, providing that his loss is
made good.
