STRAY MAIL.
Washington, Dec. 14.—(Special.)
articles of merchandise embraced in
the 8,203 caatlogue items of the
sale to be held by the division of
dead letters at the auction rooms of
Marcus Notes, 42<> Ninth street, N.
W., beginning 10 a. m. Monday,
December 17, 1806, include the
saleable contents of !!G,000 parcels
originally directed to foreign coun-
tries for delivery and held as unmail-
able; 36,000 pieces of unclaimed do-
mestic mail matter, and 52,000 ar-
ticles found loose, or without wrap-
pers, in the wail.
The. records of the division show
that many pieces of valuable jewelry
now offered for sale were so careless,
ly enclosed as to have escaped from
the wrappers in transit and that
several tHousaud parcels sent as
gifts could not be forwarded because
necessary custom declarations re.
quired by per. <-!s post conventions
with other countries were not prpoer
ly attached by the sender.
The catalogue iteui3 include a
great variety of saleable inclosures,
embracing mink skins, drover's
whips, French gilt jewel boxes,
chinaware, watches, diamond pins
peavl brooches and books of all dis-
criptions and values, none of which
even when properly enclosed, could
be returned because of failure on the
part of senders to attach their card
addresses.
[OKLAHOMA H/ S WON,
Kansas City, Dec, 14—Oklahoma
has won in its struggle with the rail-
roads for reduced rates on freight.
The controversy was settled at a con-
tieipated in by Frank Frantz, gov-
ernor of Oklahoma \V. O. Cromwell,
attorney general and freight traffic
officials of the Rock Island, Santa Fe
St. Louis & San Francisco, the Mis-
souri, Kansas & Texas, and the Fort
Smith and Western Railroads.
The conference resulted in the
railroads yielding to the demands of
the officials of Oklahoma. As a re-
sult of the agreement the Kansas
City scales of freight rates will he
applied on grain, grain products atvl
merchandise, and the Arkansas rates
on coal will be applied in Oklahoma.
The cent a hundred on grain and
give reduced rates on merchandise
and other commodities.
The application of the Arkansas
rates on coal will materially reduce
the existing rates.
One of the results of the confer-
ence is an agreement of the part of
'■.J. Gaaj-Bye, Ol.l Year.
W'e ari about to step from the
Old Year to th'1 New, and wo are
reminded that after all our fears and
appreciation, to many of us, it has
been a very kind year. To some,
we know that th- dark side lias
I'cen turned, but after all, there is
a gleam of sunshine for all if we
but look for it. W'e would not for-
get that to look upon the homes of
some of our leaders since last New
Year's day, a shadow has fallen and
a mantle of sorrow has wrapped its
inmates in its sombre folds.
Other homes are like the empty
nest that hang on the withered
bough, desolate because the life and
song went out with the birds. New
homes have been made and old ones
have been severed, but in our on-
ward march, it is not well to stop
and weigh the load each one carries.
No life isall sunshine or all storm.
If the New Year brings prosperity)
let us rejoice; if adversity let us be
brave. The sunset gate of life will
swing shut upon some of us ere the
close of another year- If our dear
ones and friends leave us for the
summer land, let. not the memory
of harsh words spoken by us, add
the pangs of soperation.
WEEK OF SPECIALS.

on Panama: a message on the pub-
lic land question; transmitting Sec-
retary Taft's report on Cuba, and
a reply to the senate resolution call-
ing for information regarding the
discharge without honor of the sol-
diers of the Twenty-fifth regiment
of colored infantry-

Christmas Giving,
At this season of the year the one
great thought that throbs in the
heart of every unselfish person is
what can I givo my friends to in-
crease their happiness? It is only
a crabbed, sordid soul at this crown-
ing summit of the year who asks
what am I going to receive. Child-
ren expect to receive and are happy
in the thought, but rightly balanced
adults find their chief pleasure in
giving.
Thisdoes not include that class of
chronic misers, who by long years
of cultivated stinginess have strang-
led every generous inipuls.e and who
suffer so at the idea of
giving up any thing that is neces-
sary to administer cocaine to get
them in a donative state, but it
means to refer to the overwhelming
majority of our people. Once in a
while there is a poor wretch so
stingy that he is constantly in pain.
The mere suggestion that he gave
up the value of a peanut .throws
him into a cramp colic. To save
expense he may raise his family on
wild gooseberry and hazel nuts un-
til his children devlopinto physi-
cal, mental, and moral dwarfs, but
fortunately such instances in this
broad and generous nation are tol-
erably rare-
