Itcv. W. 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.
They visited camps In Wjomlng
where 4,000 and 5,000 souls were lo-

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.
