BRIEF TELEGRAMS

Chicago.-With a steady decline in
the price of hogs and the corn on
which they are fed, the price of sliced
bacon on Tuesday was 35 cents per
pound, and by the strip sold at three
pounds for a dollar The sole reason
for this, according to the packers, is
! their inability to buy porkers enough
to supply the demand. This is the
| highest price ever paid for salt meat
in time of peace.
Aldershot, England.-The British
military dirigible balloon, Morning
Post, arrived here Wednesday at $3.50
o'clock, having accomplished the trip
from Moisson. France, in five hours
and fifteen minutes. The airship cir
cled above the military camp some
time before making a landing.
Naples.-It is estimated that $500
lives were lost Tuesday on the beauti-
full coasts of the Bay of Naples, the
Gulf of Salerno, and the islands of
Ischia and Procida, when nature
opened like a frightfuI combination
battery in which volcano tidal wave,
tornado and deluge wrought tremen-
dous havoc. A tornado having three
centers, the first over the island of
Ischia, second over the town OF Tore
del Greco on the east coast of the Bay
of Naples. and the third sweeping the
Gulf of Salerno. Accompanying these
were a cloudburst, tidal wave and
violent eruption of Mt Vesuvius from
a crater suddenly opened on the sum-
nit of the long extinct Mt. Epomeo on
the island of ISchia Ischia and the
adjacent islands suffered most. No
Americans are reported in the trou-
bled zone, foreigners having recently
given that section a wide berth, be-
cause of the cholera epidemic.
Wilkesbarre, Pa.-Early in the
spring when Charles d. Foster. an at
torney, banker and large real estate
owner of this city, died, it was found
that his viii disposing Of an estate val
ued at 100000 had been abstrated
from safe in his law office. The af-
fair remained a mystery until Mon
day, when the lost will was received
by mail by local bank from New
York No writing of any kind accom-
panied the document. In the absence
of a will several of the heirs began
litigation over the estate

MANY BRIGHTEN
Ed BY STRANGE
LETTER

The Reporter Te-pubIishes the fol
lowing letter taken from the Stevens
Point Gazette, not as a matter Of new
Yeracity or injunction. but rather as
a periodical curiosity. The Gazette
says:
Papers throughout the United
States are printing what is alleged
TO be letter written by Christ.
Tn this letter was an injunction
TIT it should be published to the
EOrld by whoever found it, tOgeth-
er with the statement that misfortune
and bad luck would follow the per
aou having possession of it in the
event that it was not publicity.
There was likewise a promise that
EhOever may have a copy Of this in
bis or her possession will prosper and
be followed by good fortune.
The Gazette has received some hun
dreds of requests to print this let
ter, SO if it viii relieve the supersti-
tiOUs fear of anyone here it is:
According to the history of the
letter it was written by Christ just
after his crucifiXiOn, signed by the
Angel GabIiel ninety-nine years after
the Saviors birth and presumably
deposited by him under the stone at
the foot of the cross.
On this stone, appears the legend
Blessed is he who shall turn me
over"
No one knew what the inscription
meant or seemed to have sufficient

such. The gymnasium and amusement
room have no place in a library build
ing, as they invariably cause noise
and confusion and their purposes are
very different from those Of the IL
bTary.
The building must first o. all, be
a good library building with suitable
furniture and fittings, with a build
ing fund of less than $20000,-it is
thot unwise to attempt a two-story
building. 1t is probably better to
have a one-stOry building with a. high
basement A high basement adds
greatly to the appearance Of d
One-story building, and there is no
reason why it should not utilize in
such ways as these, a large audience
room, adjoining it a smoking room,
a general club room where the diff
ferent clubs in town could hold their
meetings, class rooms, storage rooms
place to store old books and unpacke
new ones, with ample space for a
heating plant.
The first or main floor should be
one large room with an enclosed
vestibuIe and office, but it may be
divided by bookcases into chill
dTen rooms, rcference-rOom, and read
ing room. If the building has two
stories, there would be of course more
space for additional rooms.
With the princeIy sum Of $1,000
or $500 the city of Grand Rapids
should have a library that it would
always be proud of. The expenses OF
maintaining a large library are thot
by many to be serious drawback,
but comparing them with the refuted
expenses of our present library, it
would be little more than it is now,
as it costs the city about $4,000 a
year (S1, 900 in cash and about 900
in expense). In addison to the $1,000
we have also the interest on an
endowment fund which amounts to
$500, making a total of $2500 a year.
Mr.. Carnegie when making his gift
expects this city TO furnish the site,
also one tenth of the amount be Civ
en- each year for maintaining the Ii
brary, so with a $25, 900 library build
ing, it would cost this city little
more than the present library. TherC
are now A library buildings in the
state built in whole or in part Of
money given by Mr. Carnegie, and
which amounts to $807 ,005 or more,
the sum of $780, 800 represents in
diyiduaI gift for library building.
So as we look around the state
we see that nearly every town of
this size has separate building for
its library.
This paper is merely a summary Of
what might be done and it is hoped
that all the citizens Of Grand Rapids
will unite and do their best to pro
cure a library building, which will
add to the beauty of our city, and to
the convenience and pleasure of every
user in the community.

The story goes that a little child
who found it passed it to one who be
came a convert to the Christian faith
He failed to have the letter published
He kept it however as a sacred me-
mento to Christ and it passed down
to different generations of his family
for more than one thousand years.
During this period the family suf-
fered repeated misfOrtunes, migrated
to. different countries until finally
one of them came here to America,
bringing the letter with them. They
settled in Virginia, then moved far
Their SOUTH, still followed by misfor-
tune when finally the last member, a
daughter, approached her death bed
and called a neighbor, Mrs. Thomson,
giving her the letter and related its
history for more than one thousand
years. The Thomson woman began
the attempt to have it published and
it first appeared in the Rome, Ga,
Tribune on Oct. 81, 1891 1t then
appeared in the Dalton, Ca, Citizen
and Mrs. Workman, now living in
Marion Ind, clipped it and kept it
in her possession for many years
without any effort to- have it published
She was followed by misfortune which
she attributed to her neglect in
trying to have the letter published.
Mrs. Ruby Crutchfield of Trzavant,
Tenn, is also said to have had a
copy and failed to make an effort
to have it published for three years,
and was followed by varied lot of
misfortunes which she attributed to
the fact of her neglectinthis respect.
