SWINDLING "UNCLE SAM." QANOILED STAMTPS' OLEANEI AND USED IN Li ROE QUANTITIES. t Washing with Aeids--Patchiing Together Unoanceled Parts of Several Stamps Eow-They Are used. t (From the New York Star.) "The most troublesome offenders f against government laws' are the cx- a ports who use canceled postage stamps," I said a postoftice official the other day. f "They have a -vsten of washing out 1 the cancellation marks that is so suc cessful as to unke detecion alno-t . Impossible. In the offices of large cities I like New York and Chicago, where so many letters are handled 'daily, and twbere rapidity is the most desirable 1 feature, it is. ilpossiblc iir the men 1 who cancel stamps to eaatmine each one carefiily. Then, too, a great deal of the wo k is done by gaslight, and this is I point which tendls to aid the conspit'ator against, the goverunent's incomne. "Any one whu has seen a postoftice employ6 in the New York office grab a bunnie of letters and cancel-the stamps with lightning-like rapidity can read ily see how impossible it is for him to detect bad stamps unless they are par ticularly. bad. The men engagerr 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 011Ce been used is relieved almost en tirely of its black marks. if any black tnains after the washing pro cess the operator takes a sharp knie, which ho has mate for the purpose, and deftly scratches the st:up 11111il the remain'ng black marks are ahnost sif not entirely removed. This caln he done readily when tlie lnarks are upon the bald head or the face of the his toric personage whose viinet.te :udorns the stalm p, as tlhis 1)011i011 is white; and upon a whit c space t Ie stamp. c:i be scratched until it is nea1ly t.Irouig h without dletction1. 'Allother clever I rick I1hatt is ea ployed is the cutting cf slmlps. Oftcn in the hliy' of postotlice work tihe cancel hat ion nark does not cover- the stamp, but talls only upniiul one corner, the rest going uplin t le ('nvclole. 'T'hc operator lakes a slam p that has a bllck mark, say 111)01 the left hand lower corner. Ile cartefully cuts a square piece out of that corner, making it large enough to cut away all of the canceled po)tion. lie then sect, res a stamp on whici the cancel ation iii ark has fallen in some other corner.
