Show . A Costly Fan Without an Owner. One of the prettiest things in the mti-seuni mti-seuni of the dead letter office is a lady's fan made of stork feathers, the plumes being rarer and .richer than tho finest ostrich plumes. It is most magnificent in appearance, and doubtless graced tho costume of some court beauty in the Old World. It tcainti to this country from Europe many years ago, but no clew to Its owner or origin was ever obtained. In one of the cases there is a box of wedding wed-ding enke, which came to the dead letter office six years ago as unclaimed. It is getting a little old and discolored, but by this time would probably be pretty dry eating. Considering its present characteristics it might be excellent "wedding cake to dream on." It certainly cer-tainly has all the elements necessary to produce a fanciful nightmare. Rosaries are quite common in the cabinet and crucifixes are also plentiful. Washington Washing-ton Cor.
