MONEY IN THE MAILS.
Some Big Sums Sent Under Uncle
SANS Seal.


SANS Seal.
While the civil service examination
was quietly progressing in the United
States Court room a few days ago, Mr..
Lyman and Postmaster Wilson got to
chatting about mail matter and the eff
cheney of the postal service. Mr.. Lyman,
the Chief of the Examining Board. was
Chief Clerk in the Treasury Department
for five years. 10 that period his mail
was perhaps larger than that of any other
person in the United States.
He had three mails a day and received
from 100 TO 800 letters by each. 1t is
doubtful il he has an equal in going
through a voluminous mass of CORE
spondence.
During the conversation he said: "The
letters We're thrown on table in front Of
me, an attendant cut the end Of each en-
YelOpe, and opened every letter, glanced
over the contents, counted the money in-
closed, put it back and passed it 10
clerk. In that way / have disposed Of
800 letters in two hours. In the five years
that ! was chief clerk l received $40, O0O,-
600 by mail, or an average Of 500, 900 a day.
al always had a man to watch me. Of
ten the envelopes We're stuffed 50 full of
greenbacks that they resembled in size
and shape mans arm. You would be
surprised at the amount Of money sent in
unregistered letters" he continued. u
once took 100000 from an envelope that
had only two scent stamps on it, stuck
up Ia one cOrner.'
''lrhe sender Was taking a great risk :"
remarked Postmaster Wilson. "That
could have been stolen and never de-
teoted."
"Ofloial mail is held in great respect
by the majority" replied Air. Lyman.
Those notes were in large denOmina-
tions-Sb,eOO and $4,000 certificates. II
was AZ the time when the use OF specie
was being resumed. The large certificates
were issued 10 facilitate resumption, and
soon after went out of use. An immense
amount Of money was sent through tho
mails then. One New York banking firm
never registered their letters. They would
seal $4,000 or $4,000 Ia large envelope,
put two scent stamps on il and throw il
into the letter-boy 40 the post office. They
told me they found their losses averaged
lees than the express charges would be,
They sent away $4,000 week, and said
u I'D not pay 10 register or express
money!

Atlanta still holds first place in the
Southern League. Nashville holds second
