Co.'S. Ocean. Mail Service
and Night Letters,
The Western Union Telegraph
Company is now about to offer to
the public an entirely new and very
popular service by inaugurating an
ocean mail service. All MESSAGES and
night letters, addressed care Ocean
Mail' at New York, San Francisco,
Seattle or Vancouver, will be de-
posted in5the postofice in time to
catch the next ocean mail from the
port designated, on payment of FIVE
cents additional for postage. Mesa
ges SO addressed will be mailed in
a special envelope bearing the inn
print, the Western Union Telegraph
Company's Ocean Mail service, and
The inclosure will bear an appro-
pirate tag, to show the manner of
mailing:
While this class of service is
open to all classes of messages it is
anticipated that our night letter
service will principally be availed in
this connection, and on account of
the early hourat which some Of the
mails closes, twill be advisable to
have all night messages and night
letters addressed in care Ocean
Mail somewhat sexpediated SO as to
reach the point. Of mailing by 8 a.
m. if possible.
This Invocation in the telegraph
world is designed TO save time in
foreign correspondence. A letter
from San Francisco to London, re-
quires as much time crossing the
continent az it does. crossing the
ocean. A New York merchant writ
ing to Y ohome must post his letter
d week before the mail steamer
sails from San Francisco, or Van
couver.. The same, time applies TO
Eigefeld, whereas yon can file your
night letter with the western union
telegraph company, any time dur
ing the day, and by six o'clock the
next. morning, it will reach San
Francisco.
The Western Union has arranged
for the use of night letters and
other telegraph; service in connec-
ton with outgoing ocean mails so
that this week of trans-continental
time may be-. saved. Its New York
offices will receive. kilograms from
any part of the county destined to
European: addresses and will for
ward them in a sealed spediallyad-
dressed envelope. By the first out
going Atlantic steamship mail. The
same plan will be. foilowedlEin San
Francisco, Seattle .s:and !XapeonYer
for Trans Pacific mails i; ~
This will, enable correspondents
to dispatch from any part of the
United States for an ocean mail
within a few hours rof sailing time.
The only charge to the usual tele-
graph tells to the ocean mail port,
will be fysEcentssfor postage: Tele-
grams should bear the full mail ae-;
dress Of 5thes foreign icorresp spondent,
for whom tssy are intend led marked
care re ocean Ssail IN NeR York, San

the case may be. No charges wiAbe
