Dear Madam: With pleasure we inform you
that you are one OF the successful competitors in
the Worlds fair word contest ana that you have
been awarded an elaborate silver tea set, gold
nned The cost OF boxing. packing and ship
ping Is Si9o, which amount kindly remit Us by
registered letter, postcftce order or express
money order and we viii instruct our United
states agency to ship the prize TO you. To avoid
mistakes you viii obiige Us by returning this
letter with your full address written plainly in
INK on the lines below. Congr2tulatiag you we
remain faithfully.
THIS HOME FAscISAroa PuR. Co.
r s-We ask you special favor TO show
thls beautiful prize 10 your friends. and at the
same IA time speak 3 good word for the Hsms
The circulars asking for q remittance of
1870 to pay for packing and shipping the
prize, It Is stated, have been freely dis
trlouted throughout Kentucky, Missouri,
Iowa aud Pennsylvania, so FAR as advlces
nave been received. In one small town IN
missouri six persons were notified that
each had been awarded thi. prize, and six
money orders amounting to $40 each
were promptly forwarded to the Home
Ex-senator Company at Montreal.
Canada has no statute authorizing the
stoppage OF the payment of money orders
or the delivery of registered letters adj
dressed to person working fraud
through the mails. The postmaster gen.
erai OF this country can't prevent the issu-
anee OF money order or the mailing
OF a registered letter, so it looked as if the
scheme would work, with no power to
prevent the complete success of the swim
Gle. Inc return OF the circular letter de-
stroyed all written evidence of advice from
the Ex-senator company to the victim. The
department. seemed powerless to act and
avert the consummation OF a great wrong
carried on through its own mails. until Il
was suggested that all the American ter
minal postoffices, designated as exchange
offices with Canada, should be treated as
offices of destination and the postmasters
thereat instructed by wire to refuse to GER
t'fy money orders. or forward registered
letters payable and directed TO the Home
Facinator Company, Montreal, Canada,
but to return the same to Offices of origin,
marked fraudulent. Ii is expected many
thousands of letters containing money
Will thus be restored to the writers.

The treasury officials have discovered
what they believe 10 be new and clever
trick by Cinnamon to evade the Chinese
exclusion laws. 1t is thought that certiti-
Gates Of citizenship have been obtained
here and sent to China. This could easily
be done, as the application for certificate
need not be made by the person intending
TO return 10 America. Special Agent Crow
ley says that it has been discovered that
schools have been established in China
where intending emigrants are taught
infinitely the names of the streets, the sit
nation of houses, the furnishing Of rooms.
etc. in San Francisco and other cities. %
that when they arrive here under the gulss
of returning merchants they can describe
perfectly the situation and appearance Of
the alleged quarters they formerly occu-
pied.
