Uncanceled Parts of Several Stamps? j
How They Are Used.
( From the Xexn York Star.) !
I
"The most troublesome offenders
against government laws are the experts
who use canceled postage stamps,"
said a postoffice official the other day.
"They have a system of washing out
the cancellation marks that is so successful
as to make detection almost
Impossible. 111 tne oinces 01 iurgu cuius
like New York and Chicago, where so
many letters are handled daily, and
where rapidity is the most desirable
feature, it is impossible for the men
who cancel stamps to examine each
one carefully. Then, too, a great deal
of the work is done by gaslight, and
this is a point which tends to aid the
conspirator against the government's
income.
"Any one who has seen a postoffice
employe in the New York office grab a
bnnnle of letters and cancel the stamps
with lightning-like rapidity can readily
see how impossible it is for him to
detect bad stamps unless they are particularly
bad. The men engaged in
the business of using canceled stamps
are extremely clever. They have an
acid in which they wash the stamps.
The acid acts upon the cancellation
marks, and not upon the colors of the
stamp. In this way a stamp that has
once been used is relieved almost entirely
of its black marks. If any
?? black ^pmains after the washing process
the operator takes a sharp knife,
which lie has made for the purpose,
and deftly scratches the stamp until
the remaining black marks are almost
if not entirely removed. This can be
clone readily when the marks arc upon
the bald head or the face of the his*r?

stamp, as this portion is white;
and upon a white space the stamp can
be scratched until it is nearly through
without detection.
"Another clever trick that is employed
is the cutting of stamps. Often
in the hurry of postolfice work the
cancellation mark does not cover the
stamp, but falls only upon one corner,
the rest going upon the envelope. The
operator takes a stamp that has a black
mark, say upon the left hand lower
corner. lie carefully cuts a square
piece out of that corner, making it
large enough to cut away all of the
canceled portion. He then secures a
stamp on which the cancellation mark
has fallen in some other corner. lie
carefully cuts out the same sized square
from the lower left hand corner of the
stamp, and joining it with the first
stamp he ha? a whole stamp upon
which there are no cancellation marks.
These stamps are used upon packages

string is ingeniously placed over the
cut stamps.
"Take'anv package of a dozen letters
and you will see how easy it is to
lind stamps for this business." As he
spoke the official drew from his pocket
a bundle of half a dozen letters. Upon
the first letter the cancellation mark
was only upon the lower right corner
of the stamp. The second was can- j
* ? celed completely, and the third was
marked only upon the upper left hand
corner. So a combination could have
been easily made with the stamps upon
the first and third letters.
"Many of these operators," continued
the official, "grow expert in the
work. They have clever tools and
tho ricrM kind of trmcilaore. and some
go even so far as to have coloring processes
for touching up a Garfield black
eye or a Washington soiled cheek.
What do thej* do with the worked-over
stamps? They do not sell them, as
many suppose, and that fact renders
detection more difficult. When a man
becomc successful in working over
canceled stamps he endeavors to get
into some business which will require
the sending and receipt of manyjregistered
letters and packages. The most
popular scheme is to go into the cheap
jewelry or fancy trick business. The
operator lays in a stock of the cheapest
kind ofjeweiry and advertises thoroughly
through the country, especially
in rural districts. A gold" watch with
chain and charm for $4.50 is a bait
that catches a great many green spec
ulators, and as they are instructed to
send remittances by registered letter,
the operator receives a number of five
and ten cent stamps. These stamps
he operates on, and when lie returns
the jewelry he pays the postage in
whole or in part with canceled stamps.
He makes 100 to 200 per cent, on the
jewelry, and does a thriving business
in illegal stamps at the same time.
"Ah, yes, there are a great many in
the business, and their success is wonderful.
All that we can do is to keep
011 the lookout and catch one of them
when we can. We get an idea that a
man is doing crooked work, and then
watch him. When we once get an
idea it does not take us long to ascertain
the truth. Whenever the person
presents a package for registration we
have it held for inspection, and if there
are canceled stamps upon it we are
pretty sure to find tiieni. Often the
bad stamps are detected before they
reach the cancellation clerks. When
they are being taken from the receiving
baskets they are sometimes detected.
There is now awaiting the action
ot the grand jury a man wno is neia i
for doing a rushing business in canceled
stamps from his store on Broadway.
lie followed the usual plan."

He Says There Are More Biblical Injunc- '

mage in a recent sermon at the Brooklyn
Tabernacle. "Look backward j
through the dim mist of intervening !
centuries and see the great Temple of:
King Solomon. Over 200,000 bright-1
robed singers till the air with song of,
praise and rejoicing, and the blare of j
the trumpets and the resounding music j
of the timbrels echo and re-echo from i
pillar to pillar around the portico of i
the House of God. The Bible is filled j
with injunctions to the faithful to sing, j
They tar outnumber the commands to ;
pray. Some people say: 'But we I
cannot sing. When we try to sing!
every one laughs at us.' Everybody J
can sing. Everybody can lift up his I
voice in praise of his Creator, and it is .
as ridiculous for a man to say that he I
cannot sing, as it would be to say that
he cannot pray.
"We owe much to music. There 1
have been times when a national air j
was worth 30,000 armed men and a '
blast of the bugle 1,000 bayonets. No :
state or family can ever economize on ;
music and be prosperous and con-!
tented. We hear a great deal aoont j
various schools of music. There is a f
German school and a French school
and an Italian school; but there ought j
to be one more school?a school of ;
Christ?where every man, woman and
child in this broad country could go
and learn to sing those simple hymns i
which sound loudest in the ear of God. j
We have no choir here in the Taber- j
nacle, because I want you all to feel j
that you are the choir. We have had j
glorious singing here. People have
come from distant cities to listen to it, 1
and though there may nave ueen some i
question "about the quality of the j
preaching, there has been none about |
the singing. Another reason why we
have our hymns given out by a pre- j
centor is because we thus avoid choir
quarrels. My experience has been '
that all the trouble in a church begins
in the organ loft. On one Sunday j
everything will be lovely and the congregation
will marvel at the lull-voiced

notes of the organ. On the following j
Sabbath, more likely than not, there
will be no music at all. Why? Be-i
cause the organist' is mad, or the |
soprano is mad, or the whole lot of j
them are mad!
"There is one thing which I would :
impress 011 all of you, and that is to j
rise when you sing. Stand upright on I
your feet, unless too old or too sick,:
and throw your entire soul into your ;
song. I would advocate making every |
family a singing school. There would
be more light in our houses" if there
was more music. It is not he wito has
the most highly cultivated voice who
moves your soul the most by his song.
I remember standing in the Champs

Frenchman sing the Olarsellaise' just1
before the battle of Sedan, and his i
song is echoing in my heart when I
address you now. How our own
national air thrills us through and !
through at times of great national excitement!
Hymns are the national;
airs of heaven, and I believe that if we
doirt sing them here on earth we shall
not sing them there in the hereafter."
RAINBOW PARTIES.
Chicago's Very Newest Way of Spending
Time and Money.
rout the Chicago 2\'e icx.)
The latest society novelty is what is
known as the rainbow party. Already
it has assumed the proportions of an
epidemic, although it made its first
appearance in this city only a lew
weeks ago. Old bachelors and young !
men who have always lived lives ofj
single blessedness are generally the J
fortunate ones at these parties." The i
rainbow party cunniugly serves to J
illustrate the helplessness of man, and J
also displays in no dim light the ad-!
vantages of being married.
All the young"ladies in attendance j
wear neat little aprons of such design |
and color as the taste of ^the wearer I
may suggest. The bottoms are all j
carefully left unhemmed. Every j
young lady has a number and duplicate j
numbers are kept in a box, which is ;
generally placed in the neighborhood
of the gentlemen's cloak room in;
charge of two young ladies. The gen-!
tleuien buy tickets which entitle them j
to a draw from the box. The pur-.
chaser having drawn a number at;
once sots out to find the young lady
wearing the duplicate number on her I
apron. The tickets are generally $1 j
each, but at a south side party given
a few nights ago they brought $0 each.
After all the young men have tound
their aprons?or rather their young
ladies wearing the proper aprons?the
master of ceremonies announces the
conditions. The young men are to
hem the aprons, and the one doing the !
neatest, quickest and most careful j
piece of work is to receive a prize.
Tba young ladies supply their escorts
with needle and thread, and at the call
of time the fun begins with the efforts
of the contestants to thread their
needles.% Young ladies are strictly
fm-hirlHf-ri fo thread the needles of their
escorts, and a violation of the rule I
compels the recipient of the favor to I
forfeit all claims on she prize.
The young ladies enjoy the contest;
immenselessly, and it is indeed a j
pretty sight to watch a score of smil- j
ing young misses leaning back in their j
chairs and watching with merry eyes |
the struggles of the clumsy-fingered j
swains before them. After the needles \
arc threaded and the young men are j
at work the scene is uore the less
inspiring. At iast time is called, and
a committee judges on the work.
The prizes are sometimes quite valuable.

The aprons are raffled off after the
prizes are awarded, and when a jealous
young man attempts, as is often the
case, to outbid a rival for the possession
of a pretty girl's apron, the j
prices brought for the innocent little !
aprons are amazingly large. At one j
rainbow partv the sales amounted to |
$72.

ter Workman Powderly talked to day on
the reign of terror in Chicago.
"At~atime like this," said he, "there is a
tendency among some well meaniDg but illinformed
people to blame all workingmen
for the sayings and doings of a desperate
few who are never so happy as when they
are riding the crestwave of the tempest ol
passion. A distinction should be drawn,
however, between the followers of the red
Hag and those who owe allegiance to nr
banner but the Stars and Stripes: between
the anarchists who preach rain and the trut
representatives of labor who believe in law
fit 1 tV\*? of.lnV?rinnr
i"i uu inuvw iui nviiictiu^ v4w*<MM>v v*
forms."
"Then there is no affiliation between the
Knights of Labor and the anarchists?"
".Most emphatically no. The scenes oi
bloodshed and disorder which have taker
place in Chicago are disgraceful, uncalled
for and deserving of the severest condemna
tion and punishment. The men who march
under any flag but the Stars and Stripes are
?>ot American workingmen, either native oi
naturalized. Honest labor is not represented
in the ranks of those who array them
selves under the emblem of blood "and destruction.
I have no sympathy with the
men who have instigated such deeds as
have been perpetrated in Chicago. It is
the duty of every organization of workingmen
in the United States to condemn the
outrages committed in the name of labor.
I believe the man who comes to this country
and who refuses to become a citizen of
the United States after having sufficient
time and opportunity to do so, has no more
right to be here than the alien land-grabber
who takes possession of the acres of
the West. The workingmen of America
have a more powerful weapon than the bullet
in the ballot, and if they use their lawful
rights as citizens judiciously they will
have no occasion to resort to desperation."
"Are the men whose names are given as
the leaders of this movement in Chicago
Knights of Labor?"
"No; and if Knights of Labor have taken
part in these murderous proceedings, they
should be promptly expelled fiom the order.
Our organization means no antagonism to
neccssary capital, nor have we any conflict
with legitimate enterprise; and when we
have occasion to take issue with illegitimate
enterprise, we will do so under the law,
whifli TimtPffc rir-li nnrl nrmr ;ililc?> It i>
the duty of every Knight of Labor to support
laws made to harmonize the interests
of labor and capital."
"Can you speak with any authority as to
the attitude of the trades unions toward
those disgraceful doings in Chicago?"
"I can. There is a not a trades union ic
America that will countenance wrong doing
or urhold the men who have been engaged
in such scenes of bloodshed and destruction
of property as those reported from
Chicago. The aim of the trades unions is
to protect and elevate labor, and not to de
grade and destroy it as the anarchists havt
attempted to do."
Mr. Powderly spoke with feeling, and
was deeply indignant when discussing tin
scenes of the past few. days in Chicago.

Washington*. I). C., May 3.?Frederick
Douglass, who lectured here during the
week on his recollections of slavery, said,
among other tilings, that he did not ap
prove of emigration for his race. The ne
gro could never go any place where lit
could not find white people He thinks,
by the way, that President Cleveland is i
very brave man. Said he recently in a let
ter to a friend, "While he treated me as In
treated other officeholders in the Dis
trict, he was brave enough to invite
Mrs. Douglass and myself to his re
ceptions, thus rebuking the timidity?I wil
not say cowardice or prejudice?of his pre
decessor. Whatever else Mr. Cleveland
may be, he is not a snob and lie is not i
coward." Mr. Douglass further said thai
he was a Republican, and wouH do all he
could to elect a Republican President ir
1SS8; but he honored manliness whenever h<
found it, and he had fbund it in the pres
ent occupant of the White'House.
The President's afternoon hand-shaking)
are attended by hundreds on the days ap
pointed and every day the White House is
full of sight-seers. The rooms are still ir
winter dress, the annular house cleaning
never commencing until the season is fal
advanced.
The Senate's plan for patching up the
"White House at an expense of $300,00(
meets with objections from different direc
tions. The Senate proposes that South oi
the present structure there shall be built ?
duplicate house, connected with it by a cor
ridor, and that the new edifice shall be ap
propriated exclusively by the family of the
President. The first serious objection tc
this novel scheme is that it practically de
stroys forever the mmetry and individu
ality of the ancient mansion, which, after t
life'of more than half a century, has become
as well known, probably, as any public
building in the world. With the proposed
alteration the present beautiful Souther
front disappears forever. Again, the new
building would completely cut ?IT from the
present (then the official residence) the love
ly view to the South of the beautiful
grounds, of the river and the hills beyond
it, Arlington, the monument, and all the
other striki-'g objects of interest now sc
eagerly gazed at by the visitors from the
Southern windows of the East room and
the adjacent apartments. Their prospect
to the South from those apartments will
henceforth be limited to the entrancing
view of a "white" wall some thirtyormorc
feet distant, which would equally oppose a

During tbe week, for the first time this
session, the Senators have discussed tariff
and listened to a speech on prohibition, although
there waz neither a temperance noi
a tariff measure before them. The tariff
debate was sprung in connection with
steamship subsidies. Senator Beck wanted
free ships if they carried the mail faster
than American vessels. He contended thai
there "was no patriotism in trade. Said he:
"If General Lee were living and kept a
store in Kichmond, with General Butlei
next door to him, although Butler was
never a favorite w;'h the women of the
South, if he would sell calicoes one-half a
cent u yard cheaper than General Lee, he
would ruin General Lee's business in less
than six months."

conversing on the corner of T.epth and D
streets North-west upon the afternoon oj
the 14th of April. 1865, 21 years ag?>, -when
they were suddenly joined by John Wilkes
Booth, the actor. The conversation drifted,
as it naturally would, to the all-absorbing
subject?the war and its virtual ending a1
the time of the meeting?when, without any
introductory remarks whatever, Booth
asked: 'What would be the result of the
sudden taking off of the President of the
United States'?' My father as quickly answered:
'What would be the result of an
earthquake shock?' Booth gazed steadily
into my father's face for a second and,
turning about with a courteous 'Good day,
gentlemen,' passed up Tenth street toward
the theatre. That night the 'earthquake
shock' was felt indeed."

4,000 houses, including the Chinese and (
Siamese bazaars. Tlie hostility of the na-1

Crop Rrporlx.
The Stale Department of Agriculture has
received 214 special reports from County
and township correspond* nts regarding the
condition of the crops, &c., of an average
date May 1, and furnishes the followirg
summary of these reports for publication.
The spring has bee i cold and generally
unfavorable, retarding farming operations.
During March cold weather and high winds
prevailed. April was more favorable and
farm work progressed rapidly during the
month. Rain was general throughout the
State at the close of the month, greatly
benefiting all growing crops.
COTTON".
Notwithstanding unfavorable seasons, it
is estimated th SI per cent, of the cotton
crop had been planted by May 1. Early
germination of seed has been prevented by
cold weather and lack of rain. Thirtv-one
per cent, of the crop is *'up" against 34 per
cent, at the same lime last year. The general
condition of the crop is not so good as
last year, but an improvement is reported
since the rains in the latter part of April.
The reports indicate a decrease of 3 per
cent, in the area cultivated below the average
of 1885. The use of commercial fertilizers
on cotton has been decreased about
12 per cent., and 34 per cent, of the crop
has been fertilized with home-made manures.
Cut worms has partially destroyed
stands of early planted cotton in a few localities,
making replanting necessary.
COIIX.
Correspondents report that corn lands
have becQ better prepared and better fertilized
than usual. A large part ot the land
nrio-iimllv cnwn in smnll or:i?n hss been re- I
planted in corn. These lands were well
fertilized, and with ordinary favorable seasons
will produce good crops. Some of the
early planted corn on bottoms has been destroyed
by the spring freshets. In some
Counties the rains were excessive during
March, and this, followed by dry weather
in April, has injured stands. Birds and
worms have been destructive in localities,
but not more so than usual. The acreage
will be increased 3 per cent, over last year.
The general condition of the crop is reported
at 95. Fifty-five per cent, of rhe
entire crop has l>een fertilized, and 54 per
cent, of this with home made manures or
cotton seed.
wiikat.
An improvement is noted in the condition
of wheat sinco the April rains, but it
is less promising than last year, when an
unusually short crop was harvested. The
condition is reported at 80, against 86 on
the 1st of May, 1885.
oats.
A large part of the crop of fall sown
oais was uesiruyeu uv mo severe muici j
weather. The condition of spring oats i* j
reported at 72, against 73 last year, when j
the same conditions prevailed as during the /'
present sea-son, owing to the scarcity of
seed of the red rust proof oats, which has
proved the surest variety in this State.
Other varieties were extensively used, and
it is feared that the yield will not l>e satisfactory
even with favorable seasons.
kice.
The preparation of rice lands has been
somewhat delayed by unfavorable weather.
In the lower Counties it is estimated that
the area will Ik? three percent, less than last
year. The condition is reported at 9."),

in those places the crop has not been replanted,
thus reducing the area 5 per cent,

as good as at the same time for the previous
year. The area in sortrhuiu is the same as
last year, and the condition is 94, against 95
in 1S8-3.
TOBACCO.
While the area in tobacco in the State is
still insignificant, much interest is shown
in the crop, and experiments are being conducted.
under the rules of the Board of
Agriculture, by farmers selected to make |
the tests and by individuals in every County. |
The correspondents estimate that the entire
acreage has lieen increased 43 percent, over
last year.

MAKES CHILD-BIRTH EASY. ^

The time has come at last when
the terrible agony Incident to
this very critical period in a
woman's life can be avoided.
A distinguished physician, who _
passed the greatest portion of *
his life (foity-four years) in
this branch of practice, left to
childbearing woman this priceless
legacv and life-saving appliance,
""THE MOTHERS*
FRIEND," and to-day there
are thousands of the best women
in our land who, having
-?---!
uor.u viiiO VTUUUd l ill 1CUICUJ
before confinement, rise up ami
call his name blessed.
We receive letteis from every ^
action of the country thank- *
in? us for placing this"preparation
in the reach of suffering ,
woman. One lady from North
Carolina writes us that she
would like to thank the proprietors
on her knees for bringing
it to her notico, as in 3 previous
confinement she had two
doctois, ?nd they were com- ,
pellcd to use cliloform, instru- Jm
ments, etc.. and she suffered ^9
almost death: but this time she
used "MO rHEHS* FRIEND,"
and her laltor was short, quick
and almost like magic rsow
why should a woman suffer %
when she can avoid it? We can
prove all we claim by liciwj
tnitiwxm, and anyone interested
can call, or have their hus- X
bands do so, at our office, and
see the oiiginal letters, which *
we cannot publish.
This remedy is one about which we can
not publish ce? tiiicates, but it is a most '
wonderful liniment to be used after the
first two or three months.
