WOOL QUIET FOR THE PAST

Wool market has been more quiet

sales smaller, says Bradstreet's Of the
Boston market. The main part Of the
sales were Of fine and fine medium
territories, of which a leading mill is
reported to have bought freely, as low
n price as 80 cents being mentioned
though IL is denied in many quarters
that any good quality white territory
can be obtained at less than 80 cents.
As a whole, prices are nominally un.

quiet, and prices on these woods are
now on the lower basis established

and while good duplicate business on

not come until next month. Shearing

will soon begin in Texas, but there is
little interest being taken by Boston

NO that no sales OF Australian woods

Kansas City. Mo-, June 11.-A regis tered mail pouch en route from Los Angeles to New York is reported to have been stolen here. In one quarter it is stated that the pouch contained S60,O00, while other reports make the loss much larger.
 Local postal officials say that at this time any official information must come from the postofice department at Washington. It is admitted how ever, that valuable pouch is missing.
 W. J. Vickery. postoffice inspector, admitted that he is at work on the case. but he declined to give any de- tails. He stated that while it was be- lieved a pouch had disappeared while in the district, he could not make that positive statement. and as the pouch started from a point other than Kan sas City and was destined beyond here the details naturally must come from other points. r...
 All through mail is transferred at the Union depot substation in Kansas City. Several months ago fire prac- tically destroyed the substation. and since that time in temporary quarters. it is said, the system of caring for the mail has been rather lax This has been attributed to a possible reason for the disappearance of the pouch in nuestion

FOreordained Date Will See End,
 Believes Young Widow.

Passaic, \. J., June 11.-Robust in health, high in spirits and seemingly sound in mind, Mrs. Anna Kiselcia is firm and serene in the conviction she has only three more days to live. She admits she never felt better in her life and that she has no reason to fear vio- lence from any one, but she is conf dent that on Sunday next she will cease to exist

 The woman is only twenty-seven years old. She has been a widow for five years. Her husband len an income sufficient for her modest maintenance, and from the first month of her wid- owhood she has put out of her mind all earthly affairs. She has devoted her time to church going and to other preparations for her conception of a future life. And for five weeks she has believed June IA to he the date set by Providence for her death.
 Her conviction Is so clear that she has made arrangements for her fu- neral. and when she retires on Satur- day night she will leave the door to her apartment unlocked so that when she Is dead on Sunday morning her neighbors may get in. She is not de- spondent. not even tired of life. She simply thinks the life beyond the grave. in which she believes. will be superior to that of the world. And on the strength of that faith she looks forward with pleasure to the day she feels sure will be that of her death.
