ccircd the expected conslgnmcnts OF

available. Pay afterwards" No stamps
were to be secured IN Now York and ono

to be able 20 get along without them IL
New York could"
The stamps which have been sold here
range In value from a Faction Of i cent
upward. The small ones are for packages
of small value ana the onos costing dol
lars for documentary use. Nearly all Of
tho banks arc planning TO handle tho
stamps but none expect to receive a large
profit from the business Under the pres
cnt basis the discount on lots OF $50
worth is one per cent. In the old days,
war stamps were handled BY a sim
Gle person in a town or city ana the basis
Of discounts was Identical with that Of
tho present time.

DROWNING AT LAKE GEORGE.


Caldwell, Lake George. July Ga sad
drowning accident appears to have oC-
cured here last night in which 1t Is re-
ported that john j. Hitchcock, Miss Mar
gdrct Crowley and Miss Nora iIalleran of
Glens Fails lost their lives. About twenty
minutes past . o'clock Monday night Mir.
Hitchcock and the two young ladies left
the Lake House pier in IL row boat. 1t is
said they rowcd across the lake to Hotel
Woodin dock, where they landed ana
went up to the hotel.
The lake was unusually rough at the
time as sum northeast wind had been
blowing for some time, ana the ladies II
Is said were so badly frightened. On their
way across the lake that they went to the
porter Of the hotel and asked permission
to ride over to the depot in the bus
which meets tho late train. They told
him they felt timd about going back in
the boat, on account Of the high wind.
The porter told them they could ride as
well as not, but when the bus was ready
to go over they did not appear and it
went without them
Thcy were seen however, to leave the
boat house dock and head across for the
Lake House shortly after ten O'clock,
since which time none of the parties have
been. The boat which they used was
found bottom side up on the beach about
fifty rods from where it is said they were
seen to embark. A coat which has been
positively identified as the last one worn
by Mr.. Hitchcock, was found near the
overturned boat.
Parties have been dragging the lake in
the vicinity of the course which would
ordinarily be taken by boat from Hotel
Wuodhn to the Lake House, but the
search for tho bodies has been futile
Miss llallerau and Miss Crowley were
employed at the Lake House as dining
room girls, and their sad ending has east
II gloom over all connected with the hotel.
Mr.. Hitchcock Is resident of Glens
Fails, and came to Lake George to spend
the 4th. 1t is said he had little knowl-
edge of managing a boat which in n
measure probably accounts for the ACCT
