Dotted at intervals along the 1000 miles
of streets that intersect and reinterseet the
wilderness of brick and mortar which men
have agreed to cal London are numbers OF
small shops-generally BARRIERS, station
ers' or tobacconlsts'-i whose windows
the legend Letters Received Here" win
be found conspicuously displayed. The
meaning Of 1t is obvious. Anyone who
wishes for any reason whatever to con-
ceal his or her real address can on pay
ment of a small fee have their corresponds
ence sent to one or the other of these pri-
Vate postes restantes, to be called for
whenever convenient.
And their clientsl They comprise all
sorts and conditions of men-and women;
more especially the after. The swindling
ladies home employment" advertiser,
who is usually woman, and who culs
her victims from among the weakest and
most unprotected section of her own SEX
Is one of their most constant patrons. So
is the widow lady" with the wedding
present Of antique plate" which she is SO
anxious to dispose of at an unheard-of
sacrifice. So, too, is that other lady who
is going out TO join her husband in In
dia," and who, consequently, IS consumed
with a burning anxiety to dispose of her
10O-guinea piano for f20. All these, togeth-
er with hosts of other Sharks" whose
sole business in life is to prey upon the
public find in the Letters Received Here
shop the necessary facilities for CARRYING
on nefarious trade.
or course not all the keepers of these
establishments are knowingly engaged in
assisting criminals Some there are who
conduct their peculiar business on honest
and straightforward lines-so far as they
are able. But, on the other hand, ii liz
notorious that a very large number are
actually in league with the swindlers.

and promptly giving them the tip when
ever unpleasant inquiries begin to be made
about them Others. again, while not ac-
tually assisting in the frauds. take good
care to benefit indirectly by the resultant
Illicit gains, either by charging an exorbi-
tant fee for all registered letters or by
quietly annexing few of the most prom
ising-looking epistles from each batch
that comes to hand The latter proceed
ing is of course, theft pure and simple
but il is theft unattended by little ele-
ment of risk The master swindler may
suspect that he is being swindled in his
turn, but he can prove nothing. and even
IL he could he dare not complain.
But there is even darker side to the
picture. Not a man whose business
brings him closely into contact with the
seamy side Of modern metropolitan life
but can bear testimony to the fact that
to the letters received here" shop can
be traced the downfall of multitudes OF
young women.
or course, not all the users OF these
places are of the classes indicated above
ly put stop TO the whole business. There
are plenty of people who desire to sup
press their true names and address for
reasons that are comparatively harmless.

been withdrawn, and none will be in eff

next Sunday, when the last excursion of
the summer season will be run from Au-

Tybee trains went into effect and will
probably be that on which they will be
run for a considerable time. BY this
schedule there will be two trains daily

it will be taken off. This extra will only
be on for the accommodation of the ex-
