A NEW POsToFFICE GRAFT.
How One Sharper Managed to Mnlct
The Simple Minded. r-'

Uncle Sam is as proud and watch
full of his mails as father Of his
favorite child, yet 1t is through the
postoffice that the succulent sucker"
is so frequently tickled for, some
times by a thin line of correspon-
dence reeled out three thausand
miles away, and he has been known
to sap at one hook with apldity while
at the time he had another in his
gills. M l.,.,
One man engaged q small room in
downtown office building, New
York, installed single typewriter,
which he manipulated himself, and
from an investment of $500 within
two months cleared over 10000.
How did he do it? Let us go back to
the day that his Office rent began.
First, he had his door adorned
with handsome gold lettering as fol-
lows:
Henry Hartman.
Watch and Diamond Merchant
A capacious letter box was then at
tached to the door, and removing
his coat, Henry Hartman. with a
newspaper directory, at his elbow
struck off several hundred type-writ-
ten letters to as many different news
papers throughout the country, en-
closing in each, letter 10 cents in
stamps and asking that he be for
warded single copysoof the latest
edition. f%H
AS fast as copies of these papers
, came in he BOXED over the death col
umns and, selecting one or two like
ly names from each paper, sent the
decedent typewriter letter beg
ging that he kindly remit the $40
balance due, and the 500 diamond
ring which he had purchased would
go forward by express. A neat bill
was enclosed with the letter, made
out as though $50 in installments
had already been paid in on the dia-
mond.
When this letter reached its desti-
nation land with it was sent an illus
i trated folder of watch and diamond
bargains.) 1t was opened by the wild
ow of the decedent, and thirteen
times out of a bakers dozen the $40
was RENTED in haste by that sur
prise yet not less pleased lady.
An early letter informed the wi
dow that her remittance had been
received and the diamond would go
forward by express within twenty
days from the importing house,
Should she fail to receive it, would
she be good enough to notify the
| firm, etc.
When the postoffice inspectors
looked into the matter some two
months later they found correspon-
dence showing that Henry Hartman
watch and diamond merchant, had
netted over $4,000. but that. gentle
man had thoroughly betaken his per-
! son to greener fields Bohemian

BUILDING AND LOAN
MEN ORGANIZING
COUNTY LEAGUE
Varied Interests to Be Merged
for Mutual Benefifs-In-
itial Meeting Held.
MOVEMENT MAY EXTEND
THROUGH ENTIRE STATE
Many of the Societies Repre-
Stockholders Eager to At
fIiate with Central Body.

Plans fer the consolidation of the
building and Ioan associations of New
ark and vicinity in a county league, the
object of which is to advance the mu-
tual interests of the various bodies,
We're inaugurated last night in the
rooms of the Reliable Building and Loan
Association. at 1911 Orange street. Tenn
porary organization was effected and
it was decided to meet on March 81,
adopt a constitution and elect officers.
James j.. Matthews. who has been
prominent in building inc loan organi-
cations in this city for many years, and
who has beer president of one for moro
than twenty-five years, will probably
be chosen the president of the league.
1t is expected that it's membership
will include most of the 139 societies in
this city and the Immediate suburbs.
represented last night, but as fifty
other associations requested that the
organizing of the league be deferred
so that they. could arrange to affiliate
with it this matter was laid over until
the above date.
One of the primary objects of the con-
solidation IS to obtain better legislation
and to interest citizens more widely in
the organizations, and also to distri-
butte information concerning them to
the public. There are at least 5o.00t
persons affiliated with these societies
hereabouts. and the proposed amalga-
nation would result in doubly increas-
ing the membership. the movers in the
scheme believe.
A s~tricter supervision by the State
over building and loan associations is
also desired by the league movement
and when the -amalgan1ation is per-
fected legislation in this direction will
be sought. Legislative enactment re-
garding the imposing of fines will be
one of the matters advocated by tbs
league.
IT is not improbable that the county
league may eventually branch out and
aid in the forming of a State body.
