U DcGroff, superintendent of the Atneilcan Sunday Hchool union, of Topeka, Kan., uddiessed the con gregation of tho Washburn Street Presbyterian church last evening on "The Uocky Mountain District." In his opcnlnB remarks ho quoted pas sages from the Gospel of St. Matk, and from the second chapter of Phlllp lans, and used that sentence "Look not every man on his own things, but on the things of otheis," os the basis of Ills remarks. During his address tho speaker said he had spoken at the Washburn Street church live years ago, and has la bored nearly ilfteen years In his pres ent Hold of work, his work being In the Interest of the Sunday school and the children. The teirltory In what Is known as tho Rocky Mountain district Is seven hundred and eight times the area of all New Ihiglnnd, having at least half a million children out of the folds of tho Sunday school, mid un cared for from a religious standpoint. When the sotlety was organized there was 3,000,000 children out of the folds, and now theie ore 11,000,000 nn carcd for, so far as the Gospel Is con cerned. Instead of being a missionary from China, ns he was thought to bo by r small boy whom ho spoke to once, ho Is working right among the children of the United States. Referring to the childien of Utah, the speaker said they ate subject to Mormon teaching. He read a song which he obtnlned In a Sunday school In Utah, and the title of the song was "I Want to Ho a Mormon," which they teach the little ones, and the closing lines are as follows: "I'll be a little Mormon And follow HrlFliam Young." He said "There the church places the book of Mormon above the ruble, nnd the only safeguard against such teachings Is to liberally teach and cir culate tho woid of God. The Mor mons teach that Maiy and Martha were the wives of Jesus, and that lie had many wives." Referring to his associate In the work there he said the latter had occasion to pass through a country dlstiict and found a town where nothing but Mormonism was taught.

LETTER HAD A GOOD RIDE Traveled Thousands of Miles in tho Wake of the Raleigh Uncle Sam Does Not Spate Trou ble or Expense. A letter that Is veiy much of a curi osity came Into the Scranton postofflee Saturdaj. It had traveled completely around the world, nnd from the multi tude of markings oil tho fiont and back of tho envelopo it must have passed thiough about every civilized country on the globe. It was mailed at Scianton nt 6.30 p. m., December 2, 1&97, and addressed to "Thomas F. Roach, U. S. S. Raleigh, Navy Department, Washington, D. C." It also bore directions that If not de livered within live days It wa3 to bo returned to u certain lock box In Scran ton. It got to Washington December 2, ISO". From Washington It went to London In care of IJ. F. Stevens, esq , Trafalgar square, Unite I Stntes dis patch agent, from which point it was sent to British, P. O., Smyrna, Turkey, wheie It received a postmark dated December 22. 1837. On February 7, 1R9S, It turned up In Nagaskl, Japan, but evidently too lato to catch the Raleigh, for its next stop ping place was San Francisco, wheie it at rived Jlay 10, 1S9S. From San Francisco it was sent to Hong Kong, China, and thence to Manila, where the Raleigh, just about that time, had a pressing engagement. In due time Uncle Sain succeeded In earning his tvvo cents by dellveilng tho letter on the Rallegh, but It was only to find that there was no such man on the ship. Then It was return ed to Washington and referred to the navj department. There it was dis covered that there was no such man in tho navj. The letter then went to the dead 1 tter office and on Feb. 23 last was letumed to the sender in this city. The letter went ftom Sei anion to Washington, to London, to Turkej", bock by waj' of New York and San Francisco to China, from China to the Philippines, from the Philippines back to Washington nnd from Washington to Scranton. If It had travelled In a dhect line over this route It covered fully 50,000 miles As it, of course, didn't go as the crow flies, It piobably ! not much out of the waj- to saj' that the letter traveled 60,000 miles. Some country or other, likely Eng land, stamped the "eight pence" on the front of the England. As the let ter wns delivered to the addressed par ty England will have to whistle for its eight pence.
