Akd What Becomes of Them Hore Tiiaa
Four llillious a Year.
A "Washington letter to the Cleve
i.ud JlttalU describes the oiieratious
oE the dead letter office as follews:
It is difficult to imagine a place more
inviting to a lover of the enrious.
Not a day passes -without almost
numberless instances, humorous,
droll and pathetic, revealed h the
letters that iind their way into this
preat receptacle for the waifs from
tl.c mails. But before euteriutf upon
this tempting part of my theme let
me present a few figures taken from
the records of the office, that canuot
fail to interest the reader.
During the last j ear the number of
pieces of mail matter that reached
tho dead letter office was nearly four
and a h&lf millions! Tho exact num
ber -was 4,440,822. This is about 14,-
500 for every day. A daily record is
kept, and for the" day before my visit
this showed over 19,000. : Of.the year
ly aggregate given 4 3ou,yio vrere let
ters, domestic and foreijrn, ana oa.wt
were parcels of every description. Of
the letters 3,246,892 vrcre "dead"
strictly sneaking that is, they were
uncalled for at the offices where re
ceived, advertised according to law,
and duly forwarded here. There
were 78.SG5 returned from hotels,
transient gueslsjhaving failed to leave
directions where letters should be
forwarded; 13,507 bearing fictitious
addresses; 133,609 returned from for
eign countries, and 3,719 registered
letters. There were 475,015 letters
not properly "dead," but classed as
"unmailable," as follews: For non
payment of postage, 181,584;' misdi
rection, 324,429; containing iuclosures
prohibited by law, 1,345; without any
address whatever, 11,979. The num
ber received mailed in foreign coun
tries was 405,318. According to the
terms of the international postal
treaties all theso are returned un
opened to the countries in which they
were mailed, and there treated as
dead letters.
The gentleman who has been kind
ly placed at our disposal "to show
us through" announces his readiness,
and wo start upon our tour. Wo en
ter a large room in which are nearly
a hundred clerks, busy as bees. On
every hand thcro arc mail bags and
great heaps of epistolary corpses and
papers ready to meet their fate.
"Here,'' says the guide, as wo ap
proach a long desk, where half a
dozen ladies, with quick eyes and
nimble fingers, are busily at work,
"is where the dead letters are re
ceived from more than fifty thonsand
different postollices in the United
States. You see they are all done up
in packages, the wrapper showing the
nature of their contents, and address
ed to this office. About 14,000 letters
are handled at this table every day.
uur iorce is mauequate to do our
constantly increasing work, and our
"openers' are now two or three weeks
behind. In that large case yon see
yonder are over 300,000 letters tied
up in packages of 100 each, wailing
to ue opened.
"Let me open for ou one of the
packages that has just come in this
morning. Here is a large one from
Chicago. That will show you the
different classes of letters we have.
These ladies look them all over and
sort them, and then they are sent to
other desks for examination. Now
look at these letters. The first we
come to. you see, has no stamp. We
get about 600 of these every day.
Strange, isn't it, that so many people,
through carelessness, mail unstamped
letters. That letter is not 'dead.' and
if legibly addressed we send a notice
to the person to whom it is directed,
informing him that a letter for him
is held here for postage. The chances
are a hundred to one that he will
immediately send the required stamp,
and we stick it on his letter and
mail it to him. If wo get no reply
to the notice within due time, the
letter is then treated as dead, opened
and returned to tho sender. That is
the way that class is disposed of."
"Now hero is another kind. This
one is misdirected; it has the town
and county but no stato. The post
master could not send it, and had no
alternative bnt to send it to tho dead
letter office. We get more than a
thousand a day that come under this
head. Vhey embrace all sorts of er
rors in tho address, as well as those
that are illegible, for you know some
people try to write when they can't,
and the result is, nobody can read it
The department does not allow 50,000
postmasters to do the guessing. If a
letter is not properly and legibly ad
dressed it must bo sent here, and wo
have some experts whose sole busi
ness it is to do the guessing. And
they are good guessers too.
"Look at this one. It is properly
sealed and stamped, but the envelope
is blank, there isn't the scratch of a
pen upon in it any where. Forty or
fifty of these como here daily. Of
course such mistakes are attributed
only to carelessness or inadvertence.
And it is a singular fact that a much
greater percentago of theso unad
dressed letters, than of any class we
get, have valuable inclosufes, such as
money, checks and drafts, thev are
largely business letters, showing that
they are mailed from offices and
counting-rooms, the fatal omissions
resulting from the hurry and confu
sion of business. But it seems queer
that there are so many of them. We
can do nothing but open and return
them. Here are a number returned
from hotels. Wo have no possible
means of knowing the permanent ad
dress of these persons, and we can
only treat them as dead.
"These, you observe, were mailed in
Germany, England, France, etc.
They will be returned, unopened to
those countries. Hero are a couple
of registered letters. They undoubt
edly contain value, which will be re
turned to the senders. But it often
happens that a man sends money or
a draft in either a registered or an
ordinary letter, while traveling. He
dates liis letter at the place where he
happens to be. We can only send it
to him there, and of course it comes
back to us again. Postmasters every-
returned monev letter in t1r ,
but when he fails he can only send it
here again. All such returned letters
are held here for three months, and
it is the sole business of one clerk to
endeavor, by correspondence or oth
erwise, to find either the sender or
the person addressed. Often he suc
ceeds, but it not the money is re
turned into the United Siafes treas
ury. The data in each case are
carefully recorded and the amonnta
aie subject to reclamation by the
owner on making proof within four
years. At the expiration of that
time the money by law passes abso
lutely to the government, and can
only bo recovered by act of con
gress.' "What per cent, of the money is
returned or delivered to those ad
dressed?' "Ninety-seven per cant nearly all
of it. The number of letters opened
last year containing currency, checks,
drafts and negotiable paper was ovor
31,000. The amount of actual cash
taken from letters was nearly 30,000,
and the valno of checks, etc., repre
senting money, about $1,690,000."
At this moment ono of the clerks
engaged in opening letters at a ta
ble near by calls to tho gentleman
who is entertaining me. He goe3 to
him, and immediatly beckons for me
to follow.
"Now what can be done in this
case?" ho says. "Hero is a letter this
instant opened, and you seo what it
contains."
There is a cleau, new twenty-dollar
bill, neatly folded and wrapped in a
piece of perfectly blank brown paper
not a mark of pen or pencil to show
from whom it was sent. Tho letter
had been advertised as unclaimed
and was dead, and the examination
of its contents made it more com
pletely dead than before.
"We have nothing but the post
mark and cveii that is almost obliter
ated, but our expert will take hold
of it and do tho best he can with it.
There's a pretty slim chance in this
case. I guess Uncle Sam will get
that money. This reminds me of
something in my own experience. A
few yeara ago, when I was opening
letters, I found one jnst like this,
except that tho amount was $30, and
on the paper wrapped around it was
written in pencil, 'A friend, Mathcw
vi.:3.' Hooked that up and found
it to be: 'But when thou doest alms
let not thy left hand know what thy
right hand doeth.' The letter was
addressed to a woman and was cloar
ly a case of charity. I really felt bad
that we could not succed in finding
either party, and the money is in the
treasury to-day.
"There is one class I want to men
tion, and that is the letters sent out
by or addressed to frands and swind
ling concerns that gull innocent peo
ple. Just look at this printed list wo
have of over 400 of theso concerns in
all parts of the country. This list is
furnished to all postmasters, and
they are directed to forward straight
to this office all letters directed to
them. These letters, and wo get
them by the thousands, are usually
wriUeu in response to attractive ad
vertisements, in which they promise
what they never intend to fulfill. A
short time ago there was a firm in
Philadelphia that advertised a Bible
as a means of swindling the people.
At first nobody thought of its being
a fraud, and a great many bit at it,
and they all got bitten too! We
'canght on' pretty soon and found
that the concern was raking in money
and giving absolutely nothing in re
turn. We sent notification right
away to all postmasters, and, would
you believe it, we received in one day
6000 letters addressed to them. Nine-teen-twentieths
of them contained
money, from 75 cents to S2 each.
That was the greatest lot of tho kind
we ever got There was not less than
S7,000 or S3.000 in those letters, all of
which were returned to the .senders,
with a circular informing them that
the concern was a fraud. You see
the government takes a good deal of
pains to accommodate the people and
protect them from imposters and all
swindlers."

A Georgia man is reported in the
Atlanta Constitution as saying: "I
can take forty Jersey cattle upon a
good farm and make more money
than any other farmer ever made with
forto negro slaves on tho same land.
A man who owns a herd of registered
Jerseys and a Georgia farm is richer
than a man who owned the same
number of slaves before tho war. If
every slave freed in Georgia," said
he, warming with tho subject, "was
replaced to-day with a good Jersey,
in ten years Georgia would bo richer
than she would have been if the
emancipation proclamation had never
been written. You'd better not print
this, theucrh: for if vou do. the Yan
kees might take a notion to come
down and free the cows."
