Kokomo (Ind) Special to the New York World: Miss Alice Chisnell of this city was surprised the other day to receive a letter that had been mailed to her in June, 1889, by California friend who died five years ago. The letter had been misdirected, and has been meandering around the country for ten years seeking proper destina- tion. It was sent several times to the dead-letter office, covered by addresses and postmarks and forwarded again n fresh envelopes. It reached the owner yellow from age and with news that was somewhat stale. The letter con- tained money order for s2 that time has outlawed. The department will replace it with duplicate.

s2o.ooo PAID FOR A BIBLE.

Psalterium, Printed In Gutenberg's ShoN
 Worth Even More.
 FaabEsops sums are paid for copies of of their rarity. Yet 1t is known that many more were manufactured than have ever come to light, and every now and then we hear of another copy hav- ing been found in some garret or eel lar amid the rubbish. The famous Mazarin Bible" has been sold for more than s20,000, and this is called cheap, as it is one of the finest speci- mems of the printers art ever pro- dueed, and, most interesting of all, was set up and published by Gutenberg in 1455, after three years of continuous labor. He printed only 100 copies, but eighty-fiye of these have never been found. It is called the Mazarin be- cause the first copy to be discovered in modern times was in the library of Cardinal Mazarin. But there is an, other part of the Bible, called the "Psalterium." because 1t contains the Psalms only, which commands even a higher price, having been sold for S25,- 900, for but six copies are known to be in existence. It was printed by John Faust and Peter Schoeffer on parch- ment in Gutenberg's shop. and is the first printed book bearing the year and day of its publication on the title page. This inscription reads, "1457, on the eve of Ascension" Of course. all of the earliest Bibles were printed in Latin. The first complete Latin Bible with a date appeared in 1462 and Is valued at s700o After that time many editions of the Bible appeared n ap languages-Ge German, English. French and Greek-and in 1514-1517 was the first polyglot Bible, one in which rho Bible appeared in various languages side by side. The most valuable Ri. bies all date from the fifteenth or six teenth centuries. After that no specia, value Is attached to them.

PACKING AMERICAN sARDINEs
How Interesting and Important In-
 duetry Is Conducted.

hOH du interesting duu ADlpo1 Aaha
 dustry Is Conducted.
 The packing of small herrings, or, as they are often called, American sardines," is an important industry in Maine. In that state there are fifty factories, which give employment to a large number of hands during four or five months of the year. The an- nual output is estimated to be of m average value of s3,000,000, and about half this amount finds it's way into the pockets of the factory employees in the form of wages. The fish are caught in seines scattered all along the coast for distance of about hundred miles. After the fish are taken in sail boats to the factories they are thrown into strong brine, where they remain for some time. They are then laid on iron crates and conveyed to an inn mense oven, where the crates are laid on revolving shelves. After twenty minutes cooking the fish are ready for packing. There are two methods of packing, one in oil, the other in mus tard. The ground mustard is mixed with vinegar; for oil packing cotton seed oil is used About gill Of oil is put into can, and then the baked fish from the ovens are carefully packed into it and the cover snapped on. The pans then go to the sealer, who sits In front of a little furnace in which his soldering iron is plunged. Seizing the can, he runs the heated iron around the cover, holding the sol der just in front of it, and seals the can so rapidly that the eye can hardly follow his movements The sealed cans are thrown into bath of boiling water, in which they remain for two hours. If any of them leak, the tops will bulge out, and these go back to be resealed. After the cans are cleaned with sawdust they are packed into cases and put on the market as genuine American sardines in pure olive oil.

The fly conducted by the Wheeling
Homing Club yesterday was a marked
success, although the time was under
that made in the corresponding event
last year. The distance was lOl I'd
miles, from Pataskala, O., town be-
tween Newark and Columbus. The
time is much better, however, than that
made recently by the Plttsburg club.
II. J. Hungerman's entry made the
best time, flying the distance in two
hours, fifty-six minutes and ten Sec
onds, beating out Fred Williams en-
tries eight minutes and twenty-five
seconds. The others strung in about a
minute apart. Henry Ziegenfelder's
birds arrived with the bunch, but re-
fused to come inside the loft for long
period, at which time only, according to
the rules of flying, can the birds time
be taken.
The birds were liberated at 12:l5
o'clock. One Of the features was about
twenty of the birds beat in a telegram
sent Immediately after their liberia
tion. The telegram arrived about 3: 40
o'clock. The following table shows
owners of the birds and the time OF
their arrival at their separate lofts,

In answer to q request for state
ment, later, Corbett said:
You can come up to my place II you
want to, but it won't 90 any good I'm
not going to say thing, and even II
any one meets me later, I'm not going

Mr.. Friend interrupted to say that
he was going to do all the necessary
talking Corbett was asked as to the
alleged crookedness in his fight with
Mccoy, his domestic troubles, ETC., and
to these, as TO other questions he re-
fused to reply. AS the carriage was
about to drive away he was asked:
do you care to speak about your re-
ported trouble with George Consi-
diner
Corbett replied:
.'Well, we did, but you know 1t is
-. I'm not going to talk now. It's
all right George and | are friends
now"
1t is believed that all differences be-
tween Corbett and his wife have been
settled. Husband and wife dlned to-
gether, at a restaurant and later ap-
peared at place of amusement. 1t Is
now said that Mrs. Corbett will not
press the divorce suit which sne
threatened to bring.
