was attracted by the inqury reaching

rest up and recuperate. Ho was sent
to the almshouse, where he died a few

SENDING PACKAGES BY EXPRESS.
Some Information as to How They
Should Be Sent.
The time is at. hand when the send
ing of Christmas gifts to distant
friends is the chiefost occupation of a
great, many people. It *• wAH that poo
pie should understand hew to pack
presents iu order to tuiWrc their safe
unit, prompt delivery by express, •
For tho informal df'tlie public the
following suggestions ait*offered;
Be careful In wrapping and marking
packages.
Articles of a fragile character should
never be packed in paper boxes, but
securely covered by wood. These
should be marked eouapiconsly “glass.’
No articles of jewelry or money
should oe inclosed in a freight, pack
age, but sent under a seal through the
money department, ns the express com
pany is not responsible for such arti
cles so concealed.
The address m the consignee should
be legibly marked on each package,
penciled or brushed on each box, and
should show tho stieet number as well
as the city or destination office.
Shipper’s name should always show
on every shipment with their local ad
dress, all preceded by the word
•‘from.”
Shippers should not. forget ihaJ arti>
clcs of a light and trail character
wrapped in paper will bo dccuued, and
such articles put up tn insecure boxes,
will subject them to a higher class
and increase the rate.
It should be remembered that every
clerk at the express office will tie very
busy and cannot stop to wrap or ad
dress shipments, and shippers are es
peciaily requested to see that their
packages are properly marked and
ready for shipment, before they reach
the office.
In marking packages pieces of letter
paper, envelopes or cards tacked on
or pasted to packages should ho
i: voided, as they easily come off, aim
the package goes astray.

to conic to a sudden stop ana tho
force of the cars in the rear came up
with full force. The engine turned
over on one side, and some little dam
