LETTERS LONG IN COMING.
Mailed in 1888, They Were Not De
 Iiyered Until 1901.

ppedhluS Ol lue cuTIOuS routes letters sometimes take in reaching their destination" said the New Or leans Times-Democrat man, "re- minds me of an extraordinary ex- perience l had in 1901, when I re- ceived two letters which had been mailed to me in 1888, 13 years be- fore.
 S'I had been with a friend in Wash ington up to early in 1888, when l concluded that I would go to my old home in Boston. l remained in Bos- ton a few days, going from there to New York.
 Tn the meantime I had left my friend in Washington, and my move ments were so sudden that he did not at any time know exactly where to find me The two letters to which l have referred were sent to my Washington address, and fortunately fell into the hands of my friend.
 Not knowing exactly where l was after hearing that l had left Boston, he did not know where to send the letters, so hc just kept them, thinking that he would finally learn my address and would send them on to me.
 "While loafino around in New York was sudd .nly seized with de- sire to go to Europe, and, without saying anything to anyone about my intentions, l boarded ship and started for foreign lands. For nearly four years l was abroad, and during that time, while communicating with relatives and friends on this side, l never wrote to my friend whom 1 had left in Washington, for I did not know his address and could get no trace of him. He had left Washington in the meantime and had come south.
 "The facts were, of course, un- known to me at the time. 1 never heard word from him, and never knew anything of his whereabouts until some time after my return to America; in fact not until the year 1901, when l suddenly ran across him in the city of New Orleans.
 ''I secured employment here and was surprised one day to find that I was working in the same office with my long-lost friend. By the way he said, when we first met, I have couple of letters for you, which l have kept for 13 years, since shortly after we separated in Washington in 18S8.'
 ''He gave me the letters. They were yellowed somewhat by age. They were from two very dear friends, and l asked my friend what had become of the boys, telling him whom the letters were from. 'They are both dead,' he said, 'and have been dead for number of years
 q suppose those two boys died thinking just little unkindly of my failure to answer their letters, for they never knew the letters had not reached me. It was strange expert ence and one which had no small amount of pathos in it for me, and one, too, which is frightened by the pretty friendship of the man who had kept the letters all these year, for me-"

Manager William Rourke Of the Omaha base

Farrell, more Familiarity known as Duke
Farrell, OF at least they have a chance TO
get him. Duke is the catcher who was
with the Brooklyn team last season. He is
a high grade bRllplsyer, but at that am
not 30 sure that Whistler would not be
more suitable and satisfactory for st. Jo-
seph under all the circumstances. Down
there they want a player manager. Now
Farrell is the player all right, but he has
never been anything else. and is in no way
qualified TO manage a team. Whistler,
meanwhile has had considerable experience
managing teams In the minor eastern
leagues and is not any scrub OF a player,
either.
