Illuminated Crosses,

Three illuminated crosses may now be
seen at night in New York city shining
from as many churches. The oldest Of
these and the most familiar is that sur
mounting the spire of the char Of st.
Augustine, of Trinity parish. in East
Houston street. between the Bowery and
Second avenue. This cross is BOG feet
above the sidewalk The placing of it
on the spire was originally suggested by
General John A. Dix. 1t was lighted
when the church was first completed and
opened in 1877. At first it was illuminat
ed only on nights when there were serv-
ices in the church. More recently it has
been lighted nightly and kept burning
through the night. 1t can be seen from
many points down town and from the
rivers and harbor
Another of the city's illuminated crosses
is that which rises above the lofty tower
of the Memorial Baptist church in South
Washington square. This great cross,
originally gas illuminated, like the first
one, and now electrically lighted has
been in position for seven years, and it
is at night familiar object about Wash
ington square and the contiguous parts
of the city 1t is illuminated nightly I'M
til II o'clock
The newest of the city's illuminated
crosses is an electrically lighted cross
that has recently been erected upon the
tower Of All Angels church at West End
avenue and West Eighty6rst street.
This cross is lighted nightly.-New York

TRAVELS OF A LETTER.
How the News About FriedersdorYs
New House TrnNcIs.


Edward l.. Mckee, vice president OF
the Indiana National bank at lndianapo-
lis, recently received from the Philippines
n letter on which was this address, "E.
l.. Mckee, Manila, Philippine Islands,"
and in the upper left hand corner are the
words, IF not delivered, return to L. L.
Mckee, Indianapolis, Ind" Inside of the
letter is one brief line:
"Frcdersdorff is building handsome
new house"
This letter was written 81 years ago
and has been travelling all over the world
ever since. Its peregrinations are the re-
suit of little joke started by Banker
Mckee and W. r. Fcnton, vice prcsi-
dent of the National Bank of the Repub-
lie Of Chicago in 1873 At that time both
were young men in this city, having come
here from Madison, Ind. Mckee was
clerk in a shoe store and Fenton, drop
ping in on him one day, informed him Of
the biggest bit OF news that had come
from their native town in a long time
"Mr, Friedersdorff is building new
house"
Other Madisonians dropping in from
day to day brought the same news, until
finally one day Mckee threw up his
hands in disgust Just as Mr.. Fenton was
about to repeat the news item. Fenton
thereupon sat down and wrote out the
item, put it in an envelope and addressed
it to MIR. Mckee. Mckee. In turn. put it
in another envelope and returned it to
Fenton. Then Fenton mailed it to Bombay
addressing il to Mr. Mckee there, but
putting Mr.. McKee's return card on the
corner of the envelope. When it came
back to Mckee, he addressed it to Fen
ton at Hongkong. with Fenton's return
card in the corner
Thus the letter has been going for over
a quarter of a century, and each man
has wonderful collection of postmarks
as result OF this queer joke. These two
men are both well along in life and have
reached enviable positions from their
humble beginning at the time this old let
ter was started on its travels. During all
these years, although the two men have
frequently met they have never spoken a
word about the letter, RETAINING as an
other joke, from mentioning it. The let
ter has never been lost during all these
years. Mr.. Mckee says its travels have
been an education to him.
A few days ago the letter started out
again on its journey to n distant quarter
of the globe. In few months it will
probably turn up in the Office Of Mr..
Fenton at Chicago.-Chicago Tribune.
