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. Iihe
carefullV cuts out the samen1 sized s u:tre
from the lower left. Ilmd corner olt le

stanp he hias a whole r8tam1p upo11
which there are no cancellat ion irks.
These stamp11s atre used upon p ackages
which arc Ied with a string, and the
string is ingeniously ptlaced over the
cut 51tam11ps.
''Take any package of a doze ii let
ters and you will see 1ow- easy it is to
imid stamps for t his b usiness.'' As he
spoke the otlicial drew fron his 1n>"ket
a bundle of half ia dozen letters. p1on
