WILL NOT RETURN THE LETTER.
There are many queer epistles sent
through the mails. Some are ridicu-
lously in earnest. Recorder OF Deeds
Delaware Clark received one OF these
earnest letters a few days ago. The
envelope was sealed in the ordinary
manner, and the only writing on It was
the address of the recorder. At the top
Of the single sheet on which the sender
had expressed himself, were the in
structlons; Return to Blankety Blank
If not received in FIVE days" The ques-
ton that is puzzling Mr.. Clark IS how
the postal employees through whose
hands the letter passed, were to follow
the enclosed instructions

Tho report Of Chief stainsby, of the
New Jersey Labofa3uroau, on company
stores, will attract much attention that
must In the end lead to abatement Of
that form OF oppression. Mr. Stainsby
ts an exceedingly careful investigator,
impeiled by nature and accustomed by
habit 70 close pursuit OF first cause and
OF the ultimate effects of anything into
which he undertakes to go. His work
has therefore more than the average
value. His report on company stores
shows that there are in New Jersey fif-
teen OF those institutions. AS an in
stance OF the workings OF the stores,
the situation in Cumberland Is men
tioned particularly. This county has
six company stores, and Chief Stainsby
makes the following comparisons: The
cost OF bill OF goods at these stores
averages ss1.91. At private stores in
the same locality the same bill OF goods
could be purchased for s2s.19. At the
private stores 81 will purchase as much
as s11S will purchase at the company
stores. The other company stores in
the state and the ratio OF cost at the
company stores compared with what 81
would buy at private stores, follow:
Gloucester county, 4; ratio, SLIP;
Morris county. 2; ratio, s1.16; Salem
county, 2; ratio, s1.O6; Sussex county
/. ratio, s11s. The low ratio in Salem
county is said to be due to the fact
that the two stores in the county are
located in a town OF considerable size
where there Is greater competition. All
prices are higher at the company
stores than at the private stores, nnd
the average is 13 per cent. On such
important articles as meat and coffee
and tea the percentage is higher. On
clothing, which includes underclothing
cotton goods and Canton flannel, 81 at
the private stores would purchase what
would cost sl.19 at the company stores

JUST sMOTHERIiHIM.
Only John l.. Tells Ieffries How to
Whip FitzsainmOns.

NEW YORK, June 1.zTThere is no ques-
ton but that Jeffries Is receiving more
thorough preparation than, ever before
for his go with Fitz. 9 Hiss training for
former battles has been. of a careless
character, but realizing what a victory
over Fitzsimmons means he has settled
down to hard steady work, and is max
ing many sacrifices to be in the best
possible condition when he faces the
champion of the world in a roped arena
at Coney Island He Is abstaining from
all kinds of liquors, something which he
has never done before when preparing
for a pugilistic encounter. Jeffries has
not tasted a drop of any kind of liquor
since he went to Asbury Park to pre-
pare for the coming contest. That his
abstinence from liquor has had healthy
effect on his system and Is aiding him
greatly to get into good physical shape
IS evident from the fine appearance of
the man. He is more active and weighs
less than ever before. In. former battles
his fighting weight has been 220 to 225
pounds Today he weighs only 2O6 pounds.
When he faces Fitz he expects to tip the
beam at 200 pounds. -.
Billy" Delaney; Jeffries' trainer, today
received the following letter from Sui
Ivan. 1t was dated Winnipeg. May %,
1899. and said:
81 thought I would drop you a line.
as the battle between JefrrteS and Eitz-
simmons is drawing near. Now, Billy,
what / want to say Is, have Jeffries keep
on top of that Kangaroo from start to
finish. He has never. had a chance at
him in that manner, but still, at the same
time, have Jeffries watch himself close
ly and leave no opening for his stomach
or kidneys.
Give that red-headed guy no chance
for any solar plexus, which was all bal
derdash and a new name for a punch in
the pit of the stomach. Now, pay strict
attention to what l am writing you.
want Jim Jeffries to beat that fellow
and he can do it, sure. only wish 1
could be there to second him with you
but | cannot. My prayers fare with you
and JefrieS, however.
When Jeffries gets good soak at him
never let him stop until he finishes him
then and there, no matter if 1t is in the
first round. For Gods sake keep this in
mind. Tell him how used to do it in
my palmy days. Keep him in good spir-
its and encourage him alb through his
work. 1t will be only play efor him when
it is all over and then. every American
will be- proud to. say that we have an
American champion ofice more Do not
overlook this letter of instruction. 1 am
