STORY CT A LSTTER
which Went Around the World in
Six Months.

Henry NJ. Fieidner, Of Anderson, S.
c., received a letter Sunday from
Cape Town, Africa. Back OF tie
receipt OF the letter is an interesting
story. Last August, while living in
GreenvilIe, Mr.. Fleidner read a news
paper article telling Of the efficiency
OF the postal system OF the world,
working in harmony with each other
and determined to test the matter for
himself.
He addressed q letter to himself at
Cape Tcwn, Africa. The envelope
bore the request to be forwarded to
Sidney, New South Wales, il not de-
:ivered at Cape Town, and il 2ot de.
livered at Sidney to be returned tc
GreenVille.
The letter was mailed on train Nc.
II at Greecyille o. August Is. and
arted on its long journey. 1t was
received at Cape Town on September
%, and was for agrded from there tc
Sidney, reaching the latter placs on
October 10. Mt being claimed al
Sidney it was started back to Green
ellie. Il reached Seattle, Washington
February "a, apd was forwarded from
Greenv!lle to Mr.. Fleidner's address
in Andersen, reaching him on Febru
ary rs.
TIE letter had besn travelling lit.
tie over six months, and had been te
number Ct dif ,rent places. The ca
velop bore several p5sscf1ce stamp;
which wero iils2ible, but was still in
tact and in good shape. The cost o.
carrying the letter on its long journey
was only Is cents.
Mr.. Fieidner has the satis action o.
knowing that the postal system OF ths
world is a pretty efficient institution
he also has the satisfaction OF know
| iDg that there is nobody by tbs name
of Henry NJ. Fleianer at Cape Town
South Africa, or at Sidney, Ne f Slutt
Wales.

CHICAGO Board OF Trade.

CHICAGO, May 16.-Notwiths tanding
reports Of additional showers throughout
the winter whe..t section, the market
opened firm on a good demand bv COM
mission houses. The buying was due to
some extent TO the steady .one of Liver
pool cables. Ano -er reason for the ini
tial firmness was the continued decrease
in stocks Of wheat at Minneapolis.
Later came reports from the Southwest
that rust has made its appearance in
several localities in Oklahoma and Texas.
During the last half hour a portion Of
the early gain was lost on profit taking.
The market, however. closed strong. July
opened Is a Nc higher at soAc, advanced
to s1%c and closed &c higher at S1A q
s1%c, a net gain OF &c.
Trading in the corn pit was more ami
mated than for some time past and the
tone OF the market was strong all day.
The market closed at the highest point
of the day. July opened &c to B@Ac
higher at 46Ac to 1870, sold at 46as q
z65kc and advanced to 47Ac. Final quo
tations were &c higher at 47bc.
Trading in oats was active and the
market was strong. July opened a shade
higher at 32Q32Mc, advanced to 32%c
and closed SO to 51c higher at 32ss@

Provisions were easier at the opening
because of &c decline in the price of live
hogs. Later however, frmer feeling
developed on buying by local packers. At

r. p. ScHWER1N ELECTED
FIRST PRESIDENT OF CLUB
Shipping Men Now Have Luncheon on
Board the Chartered Steamer
L. Coreoran

r. p. Schwerin is a jolly tar. If you
told this on the Pacific Mail wharf no.
body would believe you, but It is true
just the same. He is more than a mere
jolly tar. He is president of all the
Jolly Tars. He has been elected on
board the river steamer J. Corcoran.
The Corcoran has been chartered by
the prominent shipping men of the
port as clubhouse. The members or
ganized yesterday as the jolly Tars
Club and enjoyed their first luncheon
on board. r. P. Schwerin, general
manager of the Pacific Mail Company,
was elected president, and Harry Scott
OF the Barneson- -Hibbard Company
vice president. The other officers will
be elected today.
The jolly Tars are taking an active
part in rebuilding San Francisco. Their
work is to hold together the trade of
the port and keep the city by the
Golden Gate on her commercial pedes-
tai. Time is too precious now for
shipping men to go to their homes for
the midday meal. and the present life
Is so strenuous that the midday meal
is more than ever before a necessity.
The ante-f1re water front restaurants
are not particularly inviting, SO the
shipping men decided to have grill
roo moi their own.
They chartered the Corcoran and en-
gagged chef and staff Of attendants.
They secured berth for their floating
clubhouse adjoining the ferry depot,
and yesterday the Jolly Tars Club was
organized with 100 chartered members.
The initiation fee Is S5 and the dues
$3.50 q month. The clubs motto is
Cheer up"
Twenty-eight staterooms have been
fitted up for the use OF members.
