German immigrant seeks London fortune amid family heirloom
Joseph Hummel of Cincinnati plans to travel to London Tuesday to secure a $21,000,000 fortune left to his wife. The estate traces to Casper Weiss, Mrs. Hummel’s grandfather, who received a large fortune from an English admiral in 1804. The invested four percent bonds have grown into a mammoth sum. Mrs. Hummel is aged and bedridden while Joseph, wounded in the war, has supported his family by selling books.

Postal Phenomena and the Dead Letter Problem
A 10 000 dead letters monthly problem is traced to non payment of postage and imperfect addressing. Many letters arrive unmarked or with mixed stamps from foreign and matchbox revenue stamps. Clerks correct some errors while others are discarded to the Dead Letter Office.
How to properly address letters and avoid misdelivery
A practical guide notes letters go wrong when addresses are unclear or misspelled. It urges legible writing of the recipient's name, town, county, and state, and to include full return addresses. It warns that abbreviated state names cause mail to travel far astray. Also promotes sending descriptive details on the letter and at the head or foot, and provides an advertisement for land sales by the St. Louis and San Francisco Railway with long credit and low prices near Missouri lands.
