AN EXCESS OF PITTSBURG CITIES. Ion Hast Kot Talk and Direct Letters at the Same Time. I CUBIOSITIES IN THE KIXIE BOXES Anyone can run a postoffice in his mind and most anybody -with an English education might worry through the mazes 01 a villace postoffice, though he would probably find the trouble of making out his quarterly report worth more than his sal ary, if time were an element in the calcula tion. But in a large city, the first thing he would find necessary would he a study of geography, even though he be fresh from school. The next thing would be the study of phonographic, or sound waves, angles, curves, shades of letters, or, as billiard (players would say, the effect of putting the English thereon, many addresses iurnish ing curious studies in chirography. In a talk with Mr. T. M. TJlam, of the Pitts burg office, some of the preplexities of man agement were conceived, of which tbe readers shall be told as plainly as the writer can make it out without active experience. For instance, some of the most trouble some things encountered are stray letters, sort of wandering epistolary stars, that get out of their orbit and swing through space until the authorities exert as much trouble for a cent, in getting them located, as would in many avocations suffice to early the daily bread of a family. Of these 20 to 40 come to the Pittsburg postoffice daily, and they do not eqnal in number the packages and papers that also go wrong for want of proper direction. If all efforts fail for two weeks to find the persons addressed, letters, postal cards and foreign papers are sent to the dead letter office. LOTS OF TROUBLE ABOUT IT. "When a letter, postal card, paper or package is received and is not addressed to street or number, and has run the gauntlet of the general delivery, and the name cannot be found in the city directory, the 100 carriers or more are required to inspect, and if they cannot locate the owner, it is thrown into the "nixie" boxes, and at the expiration of the fixed time, if not called lor after advertising, sent to the dead letter office at Washington, unless the card of the sender is on the letter or package. In that case an elaborate card is sent to him and he is asked for particulars. Prom this may be ren the. advantage to be derived even by private individuals from having their ad dress printed on cards and envelopes. Only about one-third of these misdirected missives are really sent to this city, as there are not only a considerable nnmber of Pitts burgs in the United States, but almost any thing directed to a town the first syllable of which is the same is liable in the hurry of making up mails to be sent to this place. But writers are so absent-minded that they are liable if wishing to direct to Skowhegan to write it Pittsburg or almost anything else they may have in their minds at the time. But few people can write and carry on a conversation at the same time, and that is evidently what many people attempt to do in business. They are very apt, if anyone speaks of a town when they are writing, to write the name of that town. The carriers inspect the "nixie" boxes daily and directories of the chief cities are kept on hand and frequently' the man's name, where his business is given, can be located in some of those cities. Not withstanding all research and the utmost vigilance, about 550 letters go each week from this city to the Dead Letter Office. SMABT JUST'S EREOES. Another feature that controverts the idea that trained business men are not liable to make mistakes, is that the great bulk of these mistakes are make by business men, andiy the supposed sharpest of all business men those of New Tork City. Buckle sars statistics prove that a certain propor tion of people put letters into the mail with out direction each year, and that the proportion never varies materially. It might be that if the statistician would assort his.workhe would find the bulk of the "nixies" to come from business men. A countryman who only writes once or twice a quarter may occasion a smile by bis direc tions, but h'e is almost certain to get them all on in some shape or other. Por instance, the writer once saw & letter directed "State of Pennsylvania, Cambria county, Johns town City, United States of 2forth America, Mary Sickenbarger." Mary got her letter on time. It is quite frequently the case that when a letter tails to reach its destination the office is blamed, but inspection shows that in a large majority of instances tbe sender is to blame. An mstitntion that has been in existence since established by the Bo mans for state use and has flourished more or less in Europe for more than six centuries since the Hanseatic League put it in mo tion, marvels in the matter of redncing cost of transmission from 25 cents to 1 cent, but has reached a high state of perfection and is the one Socialists never fail to cite when arguing for communism. riTTSBUEG'S LITTLE DOUBLES. It is barely possible that Pittsburg sui Jens more from misdirection in this respect than any other city in the country, as there are 13 postoffices of that name in the United States,, and in looking over the list by inquiry or trace cards, it would seem that Coraopolis is about the only place in the United States that hasn't been absent-mindedly substituted at. some time or other for this city. That name ' doesn't seem to have gotten into the way yet. There are Pittsburgs in Darke county, Ohio: Hendricks county, Iowa; one in Mississippi, one in North Carolina, in Gunnison county, Col orado; Peninah, Dakota; Carroll" county, Indiana; Van Buren county.Iowa; Crawford county, .Kansas; Laurel county, Ky.; one in Michigan, one in Missouri, one in Nevada, one in Coos county. New Hamp shire, Pittsburg Courthouse in Texas, and Pittsburg Landing in Tennessee. Then there are two Pitts, Pitts-Cross-roads, nine Pittsfields, three Pittsfords, four Pitte towns, and so on almost ad infinitum. Among the large accumulation of misdi rects on hand it was found that the National C. & M. Co. of New Tork was hunting the Plumb Hardware Company of Pittsburg, and when told it wasn't here recollected that it was in Bridgeport, Connecticut. Geis & Co.-thought the Newton Coal Com pany was in Pittsburg, but finally found it in Pittston, Pa. Sheppard. Knapp & Co., of New York, want C. A Perry, but he can't be found here, and the firm says if he isn't here it doesn't know where to look for him. STBAYED OE STOLES', SUBELT. John A. McClusky and "Wesley S. Allen seem to be lost also, even the fa mous seven cities of Greece relusing to claim them. The Kankakee Paper Com pany wants to talk to the Fitch Paper Com pany, and is hunting for it in Pittsburg in stead of Chicago, where it is. Instead of looking for Charles Leonard in Petersburg, Va., and C. Davis at the Gibson House, Cincinnati, they were sought bv mail in Pittsburg, hough the writers confessed, on second thought, they knew the men ad dressed lived in those .places. Ida Grove was probably thinking of something else when she addressed a letter to John C. Tal bot, Pittsburg, Pa! He would have gotten it much sooner had it been addressed to Vooster, O. The list might be extended indefinitely. It will be seen that the more or less popu lar impression that postal clerks in a large office have a snap and have little else to do than read love missives on postal cards, must go along with man v other comforting delusions of the past. This may be a pleas ant pastime for the lass who presides over a village postoffice, but the clerks in a citv office haven't time to knock a fly out and the bald-headed ones wear skull caps in fly time. THE GODFREY INQUEST. The Coroner' Hearing In the Harder Case Was Becnn Yesterdny. At the Coroner's hearing yesterday in the case of James Godfrey, who died at the Mercy Hospital Tuesday night, the first witness called as to the homicide was Mrs. Annie King, who was supposed to be the indirect cause of Godfrey's death. She tes tified that Connellv. who did the cutting, came to her house the night of the quarrel about 730 o'clock. Godfrey came in about 1130 and got into a dispute about religion. The discussion became very animated, and the men began to scuffle. About 15 minutes afterward Godfrey said to her: "Annie, I believe I am cut." She saw blood on his shirt and ran to the window, screaming for She found the door had been locKed, evi dently bv Connelly, who had made his es cape by "a window to the roof. Both men were under the influence of liquor, and in the hospital Godfrey told her that Connelly stabbed him. The inquest will be continued this morning. A Boon for Suffering; Woman. If there are times in life that ttry men's souls, there are also times that try women's souls. As woman's organization in general is more delicate than man's, so she has spe cial functions of a far more delicate charac ter, which render her much more liableto derangement and disease) and which require much more skillful and careful treatment. No class of diseases tests a physician's skill or a medicine's efficacy more severely than female diseases. No medicine has ever proved itself more successtul in the cure of such diseases than Pe-ru-na. Inthat most trying of periods, which every middle-aged woman must pass through, Pe-ru-na has proved a true boon fo the sex. "I had been a great sufferer for three vears," writes Mrs. S. Smith, of Hillsville, Pa. "I had given up all hope, when I commenced taking Pe-ru-na and Man-a-lin. Now I am as well as ever in my life." Begulate the bowels with Man-a-lin.
