The Clever System Used by All the Big Express Compavics, How Missing Packages are Followed Up — Messengers “Overs and Shorts” — Fixing the Re- sponstbility, for Dam- aged Property, Chicago News. All the blg express companles nowa- days have systems by which lost or mis- directed baggaze can be traced to the golnt where it disappeared, and when aggage Is damaged just who is responsi. ble, and when and where the damage oo- ourred. *‘There s very little baggs, Agent R, A, McKi o loat now,”’ inney of the Amerlcan Express company said yesterday. *‘I menn entlrely lost. There are lots of things reported lost every day, but we gecerally manage to find them. “Will you explain the process by which missing baggage is traced?” “‘When a man comes in and inquires for a lost package ho ked to show his recelpt, which Is compared with the atub in the recelpt book from which 1t is torn, and which bears a corresponding number. A tracer Is then sent to the freight office to a clerk whose business it is to look over the tlssue impressions of all the way-bllls to New York. He takés down the number and date of the y-bill on which the package is entered. If there s no record of the missing ckage In the way-bills, blanks are filled out descrlbing the package, and sont to every office In the country where we make up & package trunk. A padk- age trunk s a receptacle In which many small packages are placed for safe trana- portation. The diecription which is filled In the blank takes in not only the name, eddrees, sand date on which the package was recelved by the company, but also gives a detailed account f its contents. At the same time duplicates of the tracing which has the name and addrets sre malled to every place in the United states of the same name as that on the package. Then the clerk in charge of the tracing department refers to the reports of cur 5,500 offices to see if any package corresponding to the miss. ing one has been wrongly sent to any one of these officer “‘You must understand,” Mr. McKin- ney continued, ‘‘that It is by no means unusual for senders of packages to misdl- rect thom. It is a frequent occurrence for a person who wants to send a package to ‘John Smith, Cleveland,” to write *John Smith, Cincinnatl.” So at many offices misdirected baggage accumulates. At the end of every four or five days the agents send In reports of thls left-over baggage, as 1t 1s called. If there Is noth- ing in these reports to correspond with the lost package, then we forward a tra- cer over the route that the package ought to have gona, If there s nothing about it on ony of the way bills, he finds the messengers.” ““Who are the messengera?” ““A messenger Is an employe who takes care of money end _valusbles after they leave the office, and until they are delivered to the agent of the office to which they are sent. He travels on the cars and has charge also of all the bag- gage. Each messenger has a run. messenger who travels between here and Buffalo has a run of 450 milee; that s he looks out for things for that distance. They are tried, picked men, and must be physleally as well as morally zound, for it is a trying life. - But to go back to the tracicg, The messenger has to put his inltial on the way bill opposite to every package he carries, If he finds any pack- ages left over, he enters them in a way bill of his owr, He has a lcg book, which {s called the ‘messenger’s overs d shorts’ 1f the package Is entered on any way blll then the messenger can be found whose initlal Is opposlte to i the messenger should be able to tell something about it. “It nothing can ke learned of the packsge after the investigation, or If It Is traced to a certaln point where it disap- penrs for good, then we notify our agent at thesame place to which the package was Intended to be sent to call on the consignee and get from him a statement of the contents and value of the pack- age, and a certificate that he has not got ‘We always look upon the consignee 88 the owner. We get from him an or- der to pay the shipper befors we pay for the package.” “‘How about the trunke?” ‘‘They are rarely lost, and it's very seldom, indeed, that anythlng ls missed from them, When we receive a trunk we weigh it, and put a lead s:al on the lock, eo that we can readily tell if the lock has been tampered with. If, on reaching its destination, it s not called for at once, It is placed In the ‘On Hand’ or ‘Old Horae' department, as we call it. It Is then weighed sgain, and its welght compared with the firat welghing, This is a check on its belng opened.

Some compa pac the safe at one offico and whip it d(rectly to another office, only the two agents ,|knowing the combination. In other companies the messengera know the com- binatlon. The messengers are all under bonds.” e — HIGH ARTS IN NECKTIES, How They Are Made and Sold, Chicago News. ““There ara special grades and designs of sllks and satins made excluslvely for the necktle crade,” sald a manufacturer. “‘These materials are made from patterns des gned by men who do mnothlng else than study up new things in necktles, The goods are of heavier quality than b dress sllks and of patterns which never find thelr way Into any other branch of trade. For these reasons they are higher in price than ordinary goods. Samples are eent by the makers to New York for the inepection of buyers. 1 go to New, York to look &t new de- algns about onee every two months, Thera are from fifty to seventy-five necktle factorles in thls country and ten or twelve first class makers, The latter usually secure the excluslve right to use certain styles of goods from the makers by buglng olther the entire stock cffered to the American market or a large quantity of it. But the success of making up the goods fs just like a lottery ticket. Perhaps one year I may make a hit on some particu- iar design and 1t will become o popular that all the other makers will ba forced to adopt it. But the next season some one in Boston or New York may make the hit and I have to follow him, There's never any telling how a necktle s golng to take with the public until it is put on the market, Theu {ts success may de- pend altogether on who adopts it firat. If he happens to be a howling swell, and h atrtle righ side of popular favor, that on peular kind of taecktle will sell like all possessed.” “*Are the styles of making np necktles orlginated abroad?”’ “Not now. They were until lees than three years ago, bat our styles are so much superlor to the Europeau now that they are comlng over here 1o get patterns. However, there Is a tendency to English fashlons for the fall. They are like thle,” he continued, takinga couple of ties from a box. *“‘Dreadfully flat and equare in shape, you see.

She 1s capable of turaing twenfy-five or thirty dozen tles each day. Other girls who are not so expert may not make more than $3 or $4 dollars a week and from that up to §0.” “‘Where is the cheap neckwear mado which 1s shown eo extensively this summer!” *‘The ‘cheap wear’ now flooding the market is compoeed of old styles, made of poor goods, which the cheap trade in New York has sucseded in buying up and gending it all over the country. A good, well made mnecktie costs from 50 cents to $L1.50, As nlce a one as any man needs can be bought for 75 cents. As a rule men show no_dlscrlmination in purchasing neckties, They look into a window, sea a tie that ta! thelr fancy, and then rush in to buy it, never stop- plng to ask the price, Thus, they are as apt to buy one of the cheap kind that will not lock well a week as one of better quallty. 8o there’'s lots of these low- priced goods being sold, and business ls consequently dull just mow.

If prints have gone out of fashion print cloth mills must go out of fashlon, too. And the manufactarer who wants to geep afloat must do as the politician often does—change hls princl- ples as faet as the public does. But there 1s a deeper and more recondite cause for even the callco depression than a change of fashion. Every branch of butinessin every quarter of the globe s suffering from a similar disease.
