he official keeper of the Morgue, con-
,Eains some interesting Information.
Ut appears that during the year just
closed no less than 10, 155 JAG pieces
Of mail found their way into the
dead house. That was S54,795 more
pieces than were reported during the
previous years. 900 a day year in and
year out, and the number constantly in
creasing.
A little v e one-thirtieth of this num-
Der was delivered unopened. That means
That the skilled clerks in the Office sue
ceeded in deciphering more than 800, 900
sspparentlys unintelligible addresses and
starting them safely on their way again.
The clerks found s4S,634in money in
nisdirected letters which were opened,
and drafts, checks and money orders rep
cesenting a face value Of 81 49,, 1868. Some
Of this money was finally deiiveredto the
persons for whom it wassintended, but
the larger portion went to swell the
postal receipts.
To handle this business there are 1876
clerks, and some Of them are marvels
in the skill with which they can decipher
writing that apparently has no mean
ing. Tie most skilful of all of them is a
woman who draws a salary of 81, 800 a
year. There are few Typographical
enigmas which she cannot master.

netic. and fascinating in manner AL
though an Englishman to the finger
tips, he had yet an instructive under
standing of American ways and a sympa-
thy with Yankee idiosyncrasies which
gained for him a cordial regard every
where he went.
Perhaps the fact that he was married
to an American wife had something to
do with it, but that was no all, Sir
Michael was genuinely, heartily, spon-
~taneously, sympathetic and kindly. tits
hardly conceivable that Great Britain
can send another ambassador here who
can win so high a place in SO shorta
time. 1t is only a little more than year
since Sir Julian Pauncefote disappeared
from the scene after thirteen years OF
service in Washington, and there were.
many men who thought that sturdy old
English squire had made a record which
could never be equalled; but Sir Michael
was already on the road to winning a
place in Washington which even Sir
Julian never occupied.
The British ambassador in America is
a far more important parsonage now
than the British minister was 20 years
ago. Great Britain now feels it incum-
bent upon her to send her very best man,
and the Washington embassy is regarded
as the prize assignment in the entire
diplomatic service. It is not so very long
ago that it was regarded as something
of a humiliation for a British diplomat
to be sent here; but things have changed
nightly Of late.

Shot for His Trouble.

Fred Estlicls was shot in the side
with a Shotgun by c. X. Howard at the
tatter's cattle ranch On the Cheyenne

shot EstliclS in self-defense. Estlics
q been in the employ of Mr.. Howard

living on the ranch. Estlick began
mistreating his wife while in an intoH-
icatek condition and Mr.. Howard inter-
fered. AT this Estlick knocked him
down and attempted to follow him in
to his house. 1t is asserted that Est
lick brandished a knife, and to save
himself Mr. Howard took down his
shotgun and fred. Estlick has been
to the hospital at Deadwood for atten-
ton.

1t is OF great Importance that Russia
should be represented here during the

thoroughly understands the United
States, and who can make himself
personally acceptable to the powers
with whom he is forced to come in
contact. Our relations with Russia
are becoming yea by year more COM

OF International trouble unless they are
handled with consummate skill. The
Russian ministers Of the car realize

government departments, and for that
reason Mr.. Cortelyou will probably
never receive the full credit which be-
longs to him for what he has done.
He has taken a great many bureaus
and Independent divisions belonging to
various departments or perhaps stand
ing by themselves, and ne mas amaiga-
mated them into the new department,
looping off superfluities, adjusting
jurisdictions and fixing relative re-
sponsibilities.
1t is doubtful whether anybody could
have come in from the outside and
succeeded in this. 1t is due to Secre-
tary Cortelyou's Intimate acquaintance
with all government departments and
with administrative routine gained
while in the post Office department and
at the white house that it has been
possible to bring order out of chaos.
1t is doubtful, too, whether he could
have done it If he had not been for
tunate enough to select at the very be-
ginning a chief clerk who is almost
as much a master of administrative de-
tail as Cortelyou himself.
Frank H. Hitchcock, who has been
the secretary's right hand man IN this
preliminary work, and who has been
compelled to attend to the greater part
of the detail of the reorganization, is a
young Harvard graduate, who made a
great reputation as a statistician in the
agricultural department before Cortel-
you picked him up. He is n of the
most promising young men in the en-
tire government service to-day.

of consequence to complete, and yet he
is continually deciding knotty ques-
tons and accomplishing important re-

P. A. Newcomer has raised . dis.
tinctiy new crop near Miller that
promises to become of value in the
future. 1T is called ground almond,
the product being the size of chest
nuts, tasting nearly like them, though
shell-less, growing in the ground like
peanuts, on the roots of a grass re-
semb!ing slough grass, which is eaten
greedily by horses and cattle. Mr..
Newcomer raised 300 nuts from one
seed, at which rate he figures a pint
of seed will produce three bushels.
He thinks they are equal to chcstnuts,
raw or roasted, for eating purposes in
the home, which, together with the
fact that they make desirable hog feed
and the plant good hay, would place
this plant in the fro Z ranks.

cultural college at Brookings has made
a shipment of 200 pounds of macaroni
wheat to the secretary of agriculture

The grain was shipped in a tin-lined

affected by moisture or insects. Before
sealing the case, the fumes of carbon
di selphide were permitted to settle
through the grain. This is the first
shipment of macaroni wheat made
across the equator from the South Da-
