Two-Thfrds OF the worlds Core
spondence Carried ON In 1t.
TWo-thirds Of all the letters which
pass through the postoff1ces OF the
world are written by and sent to peo-
pie who speak English. There are
substantially 500, 900 persons speak
ing colloQuially one or another Of the
ten or twelve chief languages and OF
these about 25 per cent, or 125,oOO, 900
persons, speak English. About 10000,
900 speak Russian, 100000 German,
100000 French, 100000 Spanish,
35,OOO,OOO italian, and 100000 Por
tuguese; and the balance Hungarian,
Dutch, Flemish, Danish, Polish and
Norwegian.
Thus, while only one-quarter OF
those who employ the facilities OF the
postal departments Of civilized govern
ments speak English as their native
tongue, two-thirds Of those who CORE
spond do SO in the English language
This situation arises from the fact that
SO large share Of the commercial
business, Of the world Is done In En-
glish, even among those who do not
speak English as their native tongue.
There are, for instance, more than 90
600 postofiices In India, the business Of
which In letters and papers aggregate
more than 3OO,Oo0,OoOs parcels a year,
and the business of these offices Is done
chiefly in English, though Of India's
total population. which Is nearly 3OO,-
100000, fewer than 100000 persons
either speak or understand English.
Though 100000 speak Russian and
understand 1t, the business of the Rus
sian postof1ice department Is relatively
small, for the number Of letters sent
throughout the Cars empire amounts
to less than one-tenth the number
mailed In Great Britain alone, though
the population of Great Britain is con
slderably less than one half OF the pop.
1lation of Russia in Europe.

In Mccullough v. McGrady, 102 New

CHAPTER TX.

Hardly had M. Alfred Cassagne swal-
lowed the last mouthful of his breakfast,
than his active mind reverted again to
the mystery which vet surrounded the
death Of Nine. Roupell.
Who WAS the man, at present unknown,
who had crept like a thief in the night
into the chateau, and as quietly stolen
away when his foul work had been ac-
cemplshed? And what was his motive In
committing the crime? Was he In any
way connected with NJ. Chabot? Could
1t be possible that the project. Of police
had stumbled on the real instigator of
the murder in the person Of Chabot, and
that this unknown person was his con-
federate? Most likely at that moment,
some officer from the prefecture was en-
gagged In closely watching Chabot's slight
est movements. There might be some
thing in the projects theory, after all.
Mature reflection convinced NJ. Cassagne
mere shrug of the shoulders. Chabot's
accomplice might be the man they were
looking for. Anyhow, it would not do to
leave the point uncovered.

Henry GassaWay Davis, former
United States senator and democratic
candidate for vice president in 1904
father of Mrs. Stephen B. Elkins, and
grandfather of Katherine Elkins, has
taken a hand in the love affairs of the
duke Of Abruzzi and his favorite
granddaughter. He is popularity sup
posed to be worth S60,000000.
Some time ago ex-senator, Davis
wanted to marry Maude Ashford. She
was poor and her family was not
prominent. The ex-senator's two
daughters, Mrs. Elkins and Mrs. Ar
thur Lee, protested SO vigorously that
Miss Ashford refused to marry him
declaring that she did not care to dis
rupt the family.
The ex-senator accepted her deci
sion regretfully, and has since held il
against his children that they de
stroyed his romance.
When the favorite, katherine, fell in
love with the duke a responsive chord
was struck in the heart Of the elderly
grandparent. 4" "

he said:

Then gathering himself together. and
exerting his enormous muscular strength,
he sprang from the window. A project
