cHlcAeos MYSTERIOUS STAMPS.
Dollars Worth Of Them Disappear from
the Post -OHice.

A Chicago special says: Ever since last
July there has been a mysterious loss OF
money in the retail stamp department OF
the pOst-Office. There are four clerks en-
gagged IN retailing stamps. and they sell
about $500 or 5000 worth of stamps and
envelopes every day. They exchange their
cash for stamps and envelopes at the close
of every days work. Once or twice week
they take an account Of stock and square
their accounts with the wholesale stamp
and envelope department.
They carry 81 900 worth OF stock and
ought 10 have that much in stamps. envel-
opes. and cash every time they take an ac-
count of stock. If their work were done
with absolute correctness they would come
out about fifteen cents ahead every day on
account OF the fractions OF cent gained
In retailing single envelopes.
Since last July each clerk has been fall
inc short about thirty dollars month. The
matter was put n the hands of detectives
who have worked hard 10 solve the
mystery. but are no nearer a solution now
than months ago.
4 theft would account for the shortage,
but all are watched so carefully that no
one can conceive how such theft could
be practiced. The clerks are al OF tired
honesty. ard vet the situation Is 50 pecu-
liar that il makes them feel that they must
be the objects of suspicion. II looks as if
some one of them wa stealing from others,
but no one can CONCEIVE how they should
do it. even if they were dishonest.
One or two laughable things have occur
rcd in connection with this matter, one
OF the clerks having madeu his mind tat
