 of Life.

Washington, D. C., July 25.-One hundred and twenty million dollars was filched from the American peo- pie in the last fiscal year by swindlers. who operated largely through the United States mails, according to a statement made in formal report to Postmaster General Hitchcock. This was an increase of approximately s50.- 000,000 in the aggregate of the pre- vious year.
 Of those who are alleged to have operated the fraudulent schemes 1,063 were arrested by postoffice inspec- tors.
