Horace MarvIn's Body Found In Marsh.

New York, May 4.---The body of
"Chubby" Marvin, who was kidnapped
from his fathers farm near Dover, Del,
two months ago to-day, was found this
afternoon. The body was lying in the
marsh about half mile from the straw
stack, whore tho boy was playing when
last seen.
From its condition, DR.. Marvin and
Oliver Pleasanton, a neighbor who was
with him when the body was discovered,
judged that the boy had been dead only
q few days. This strengthens DR.. Mar.
WINS thsory that the child was kidnapped
by some one living in the vicinity and
held prisoner, his captors fearing to be-
gin negotiations for ransom.
The place where the body lay had
been gone over dozens OF times by
searching parties. 1t had also been
burned over to clear the underbrush.
The clothing of the boy was not in any
way scoTched.
Dr.. Marvin carried the body to the
farm house and Immediately drove into
HPyer to notify the Governor and detec.
tives.

RowTH IN THE FORM OF

masters have had more or less trouble
in showing that they needed increased
facilities for handling their mails, as
in the opinion of the congressional COM
mittees having the matter in charge the
receipts from the sale of stamps did
not warrant the increase.
New York and Chicago are making
the chief complaint. They say that hun
dreds or mail order houses each day re-
ceive from out of town people thou
sands of collars worth of stamps, all
of which are bought at interior post
offices. These stamps remain right in
the city and are transferred to smaller
houses in part payment, and soon after
ward the stamps are doing duty on
mail sent through the New York Office,
but for which that Office gets not a
cent in revenue.
This plan of engraving the names of
the city of issue on postage stamps is
not entirely new, as it has been follow
ed in Mexico for years. In Liberia
also the names of five of the principal
towns are engraved upon the stamps.

SOMETHING NEW
IN u. S. STAMPS

s'Did you know said a Lewiston
stamp-collector, a day or two ago, that
all the United States postage stamps
for 1907 to be issued from the 5000
presidential postoffices win bear each
the name of the state and city In
which the postoffice is situated. TWEEN
ty-six of the 5000 postoffices will have
these names engraved upon their
stamps, while in the case of the other
postofices the names will be printed
across the face of the stamps after
they have been engraved.
The chief reason for the change is
said to be the belief that it will help
to do away with the big postoffice rob-
berries and make it much easier to trace
the criminals. The postofEce robbery
in Chicago a few years ago is good
example of the ease with which stolen
postage stamps can be disposed OF, Tor
no trace of the perpetrators was ever
discovered, although stamps worth
nearly hundred thousand dollars were
stolen, and these mostly of small de-
nominations.
At one time the authorities thought
they had found clue to the robbers.
A Chicago mail order house couple
of years after the robbery received
$4,000 mail order in payment OF which
was rendered a package containing
that amount of one and two-cent post
age stamps The order being so I'M
usual in character, the head of the n-n
informed the United States authorities
and efforts were made to find out from
whom the order had come, but without
avail. It was regarded as fairly certain
that these stamps were part OF those
taken from the Chicago postoflce, but
there was no way of proving it.
But this is only one of the purposes
the change is expected to serve, say
stamp authorities. Another Is TO en-
able the Postofice Department to deter
mine the amount of business done by
the different postoffices.
A great deal of complaint has been
made in the past on the ground that
certain offices were doing very much
greater volume of business than they
were credited with doing and post
